"Your name is Sixteen? Don't you have a name?" Jiang Li blinked his bright big eyes and asked the girl in front of him with curiosity.

Sixteen couldn't help but blush when Jiang Li stared at her like that, and lowered her head shyly, but she still answered honestly: "Miss, Sixteen grew up in the Dark Guard Camp. The children there don't have names, only a number plate that represents their identity."

After saying that, Sixteen raised her head, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her hand to gently scratch her hair. She looked very cute, and people couldn't help but want to pinch her cheek.

"Well, you need to have a name when you follow me." Jiang Li said thoughtfully while gently stroking the hair of the girl in front of him. This girl had never had a formal name since she entered the Dark Guard Camp when she was young. She was just called "Sixteen" by everyone because she was the sixteenth in the family.

Looking at the girl's clear eyes, Jiang Li suddenly had an idea: "Since you are used to calling me Sixteen, why not call me Pomegranate!" She felt that this name was simple and easy to remember, and also had a bit of cuteness.

In fact, Jiang Li was always quite casual about naming the maids around her. For example, some of the other maids in her courtyard were named Chuntao, Xiahe, Qiuju and Dongmei. These names were simply named according to the seasons or flowers, without much special meaning.

However, although the names were chosen casually, Jiang Li treated each of them sincerely. In her opinion, the name was just a code name, and what really mattered was the feelings between each other. Just like now, she named the new maid Shi Liu, not just because of a whim, but also because she hoped that she could be as lively and energetic as a pomegranate.

The girl, originally named Sixteen, smiled with joy when she heard the new name Jiang Li gave her - Pomegranate. From that day on, she had her own unique name.

"Thank you for the name, Miss!" Shi Liu bowed to Miss Xie with a serious face. You know, she was originally a martial artist, and she was not particularly good at these etiquette and other things. So, when she bowed, it seemed a little clumsy and unnatural, and even a little out of place.

However, all this made Jiang Li on the side couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that Shi Liu in front of him was so cute, that innocent and unpretentious look made people want to protect and love her. Looking at Shi Liu's cheeks that were slightly flushed due to nervousness, and her eyes full of gratitude and respect, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

"Okay, you and Chuntao will come back to the Jiang Mansion with me in a while. When the time comes, Sister Xia He will be responsible for teaching you the various etiquette norms that aristocratic families should follow after we return to the mansion." Jiang Li said softly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Liu hurriedly responded respectfully: "Thank you, Miss! I will definitely study these etiquette knowledge carefully and will never embarrass you!" Her tone was firm and sincere, revealing a determination and belief, indicating that she would go all out to master these important social skills, and strive to be perfect and live up to the young lady's expectations of her.

Jiang Li looked up at Chun Tao who was looking in from the doorway, and saw that she looked worried. It turned out that it was the guard Chang Feng who brought a strange woman to visit his young lady. As soon as the woman entered the door, she bowed and was touched on the head by Jiang Li, which really frightened Chun Tao.

"Could it be that... it's because I didn't do well enough that the lady doesn't want me anymore?" Chun Tao couldn't help but think to herself, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Chun Tao, come in!" Jiang Li called out calmly, but she knew in her heart that Chun Tao must be overthinking again.

After hearing the call, Chuntao walked into the room with light steps and glanced at Shiliu who was standing beside her with a slightly arrogant look. It seemed to mean, "See? In the eyes of the young lady, I am the most important!"

"Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chuntao asked softly, revealing a hint of expectation and pride in her voice. She secretly felt lucky that she could get the attention of the young lady, and hoped to show her ability through this opportunity. At this time, Shi Liu stood quietly in the corner, watching Chuntao communicate with the young lady, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Chuntao, this is a pomegranate"

"Shi Liu and this is Chun Tao," Jiang Li introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, Sister Chuntao," Shi Liu smiled and hurriedly greeted Chuntao.

"Yeah," Chuntao nodded. As the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person." Seeing that the other party was so friendly, Chuntao was embarrassed to say anything.

"Chun Tao, Shi Liu is the person arranged by the prince to protect me. You know what happened in the temple last time. It's not safe now." Jiang Li felt it necessary to explain it clearly to Chun Tao to prevent her from having wild thoughts.
