Su Qingluan really had no idea what the names of these two little girls were - after all, all her naming talent was given to her younger brother and sister, and that was based on the premise that they had her own name as a reference.
In fact, she is really bad at naming - the fact that she always scratches her head when coming up with the jam series is a testament to this.
It is said that if a person has any inspiration, it must come from the things he is most familiar with, and Su Qingluan is no exception.
Considering the style of Song Bo and Yao Guang naming the two little girls "Swift Wind" and "Lie Ying" and so on, Su Qingluan voted for herself with a frown on her face: "Why not call them 'Bai Zhi' or 'Zi Su'..."
Okay, okay, these are just two seasonings, not much better than Song Bo's way of naming a horse, but Su Qingluan felt that her way of naming was more pleasing to the mouth. Finally, based on the principle of "fairness, openness and justice", Su Qingluan let the two girls choose for themselves.
One thing that surprised Su Qingluan was that both of them could read and write - it was not that Su Qingluan looked at people with tinted glasses, but because in this era, even men were not many who could read, let alone girls, who were even fewer.
It was obvious that these two people's "literacy" was not at the level of "only being able to write their own names". What's more, they came from such poor backgrounds and did not look like they had the conditions to read and write, which surprised Su Qingluan.
As expected, the two girls chose the names "Angelica Dahurica" and "Perilla". After receiving the names, the four of them knelt down together to kowtow to Su Qingluan, making Su Qingluan's forehead full of sweat.
"Every family has its own rules." Su Qingluan reluctantly watched them kneel for a moment, holding herself down on the stool without jumping up. "From now on, you must not be rude to outsiders. But behind closed doors, I don't like everyone kneeling here and there. You should have time to kneel and admit your mistakes and kowtow. Just do your job well."
Su Qingluan roughly explained the rules of the family. In short, it was "Do your job well, and you will be rewarded if you do it well. You will be punished if you are lazy or make mistakes, and you will be fired directly if you are punished too much."
Su Qingluan had originally thought that she might need to catch a typical example to establish her authority before she could bring these four people under control. However, she had never expected that these four people would be diligent and efficient at work, and not talkative at all. Suddenly, Su Qingluan no longer had to worry about any of the household chores.
Su Qingluan once privately lamented that the purchase of these four people by Song Bo was truly worthwhile, but Song Bo shook his head: "Madam, you don't know, it's rare to find a master as generous as you, and one who pays generous wages. They are all people who have seen the sufferings of the world, and naturally know how rare it is to have such a master."
After hearing what Song Bo said, Song Bo came back to her senses: she was using the thinking of her previous life to apply to the things in this life: in her previous life, the employer and the employee had a two-way selection relationship. Even though workers were a relatively disadvantaged group, they were protected by the labor law and supported by the labor arbitration agency. They also had the right to terminate the contract at any time. The employees had relatively great freedom.
But this is not the case for people of this era, especially the four in front of him, who have signed a "body contract". In other words, Su Qingluan now holds the "body contracts" of these four people. For Su Qingluan, she has every legal right to dispose of these four people.
These four people have no autonomy in their jobs, stays, or even their future marriages. It all depends on Su Qingluan's orders. Unless Su Qingluan agrees, the four of them will have to work for Su Qingluan for the rest of their lives.
Su Qingluan was now able to calmly digest these "shocking" customs that transcended time and space - she certainly did not think of treating these four people as complete slaves, but the time to "set them free" was not always possible.
At least not now.
After settling the household affairs, Su Qingluan gradually shifted her focus to opening the shop and exercising. After a period of persistence, Su Qingluan found that as her physical fitness gradually improved, her work efficiency also increased. The most obvious change was that even if guests suddenly came in the evening, Su Qingluan would not feel exhausted.
This kind of work lasted for a month in a blink of an eye, and Su Qingluan was busy and happy.
The branch in the capital also takes a "break" every ten days, and because there are many officials in the capital, Su Qingluan simply doesn't bother with that much energy and just follows the officials' schedule, taking a break once every ten days.
It happened to be a day off, and Su Qingluan wanted to pack up the luggage she brought from Huaxi Village - after all, she had moved to the capital for more than a month, and she had too many things to do, and she hadn't had time to pack up yet.
After some searching, a small box was found.
Su Qingluan remembered that she had carefully placed this small box in the drawer of her room at the Su family's side. It was Yang who helped her organize the items at that time, and all the things in the drawer were brought into Mu Xing's home along with the "dowry".
For some reason, when she was packing her clothes, she took this small box with her.
"What is this?" Su Qingluan looked at the box and it looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember what it was.
After opening the box, there was a jade pendant and a note inside. Su Qingluan picked up the note and immediately understood: "How could I have forgotten this!" But it was no wonder. After all, it happened more than three years ago. It would be strange if she could remember it so clearly...
At this time, a soft laugh came from the side: "Qingluan, what did you forget?"
"Fuck!" It was already dusk, and logically there shouldn't be another person in the room—after all, a three-story house should have two or three guest rooms. As Su Qingluan's "cousin," Yaoguang naturally didn't need to stay in the same room with her.
So the sudden voice behind Su Qingluan, and it was a man's voice, made her instantly angry and blurt out a national quintessence.
Su Qingluan looked at the man in front of her as if he were an alien: "Mu... Mu Xingzhi?!" She immediately lowered her voice, "Shouldn't you be listed as 'missing' right now?" How did he suddenly appear in her room?!
This person...how come he's so elusive...
Mu Xingzhi said something that seemed completely unrelated: "Because Xiao Huan has gone to Qingyun Temple to pray for the late Empress and His Majesty, who is ill."
Su Qingluan was stunned at first, then turned around abruptly: Could it be that this person means... ?
