After leaving the brokerage, Qiu Yan looked at the four maids and said, "Tell me your names one by one."
The group exchanged glances, and finally, they all looked at Qiu Yan at the same time.
One of them first bowed in greeting.
"Now that I have followed you, my master, I am your person. Please bestow a name upon me." After she finished speaking, she was about to kneel down.
The others also knelt down. "Please bestow a name upon us, Master."
“I don’t have so many rules here,” Qiu Yan waved her hand, stopping them.
She was given a headache when asked to name a child.
She looked at the four maids in turn, and finally, her gaze fell upon her aunt:
"Auntie, you should get up."
Qiu Yumei didn't refuse. She scratched her head, thinking of words.
"Now that it is springtime, let's call them Spring Peach, Spring Orchid, Spring Bamboo, and Spring Chrysanthemum. From now on, you will all take the surname Qiu."
The four maids were delighted upon hearing this.
"This servant thanks you for bestowing upon me a name."
Qiu Yan nodded and smiled, "Let's go back."
On the way, she gave the four instructions:
"Chuntao, from now on, you must listen to my aunt's instructions in everything you do."
Chuntao and the other three nodded respectfully, "Yes, we understand."
...Baiyang, the landlord Zhou was distraught all night because he hadn't seen his son yesterday. As soon as the city gates opened this morning, he came looking for him.
His first stop was Yiyun Academy.
His son is honest and law-abiding, and never goes out of his way to cause trouble. Where did he go?
Furthermore, even if his son Bin'er wanted to stay overnight, he should have told him first.
The more Zhou the landlord thought about it, the more frightened he became.
They finally arrived at Yiyun Academy, but there was no sign of their son inside.
Desperate to find his son, he repeatedly inquired of the students who were studying diligently early in the morning.
"Excuse me, student, did you see my son, Zhou Bin, this morning...?"
After asking around, everyone shook their heads.
Finally, he saw Zhou Bin's classmate, Zhao An, and asked him in the same way, "Excuse me, student, did you see my son, Zhou Bin, this morning?"
Zhao An looked puzzled and shook his head, "No."
"Excuse me." In his heart, Landlord Zhou was already in a state of panic. Where on earth had his son gone?
Zhao An recalled the scene yesterday where his uncle and Zhou Bin went out, which seemed rather strange.
Could Zhou Bin have been kidnapped by his uncle?
Upon thinking about this, Zhao An suddenly had a bad feeling.
Seeing that Landlord Zhou was still searching for people to greet, Zhao An called out to him, "Wait a minute."
Landlord Zhou turned around, his face filled with anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Zhao An's words made things even worse for him.
“Uncle, Zhou Bin wasn’t at the academy yesterday afternoon.”
"What?" Upon hearing this, Landlord Zhou's already flustered heart began to pound wildly.
Yesterday, he inadvertently saw his son with Qiu Dayu and went to follow them.
Unexpectedly, the person disappeared in the blink of an eye after turning the corner.
"Qiu Dayu, the person must have been kidnapped by Qiu Dayu!"
"Huh?" Zhao An didn't expect that Landlord Zhou would have the same idea as him.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the Master passing by, nodded and clasped his hands in greeting, and then continued reading his book.
When Landlord Zhou saw the teacher arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward with a fawning smile.
“Master, I am Zhou Bin’s father. My son was unable to attend school yesterday afternoon because he caught a cold. Please forgive him.”
The Master nodded gently, "I understand. From now on, let him speak for himself in such matters."
"Okay, you're right."
Zhao An listened from the side, genuinely envying Zhou Bin; what a wonderful father he had.
After leaving the academy, Landlord Zhou hurriedly arrived at the Star Moon Tower.
But at this moment, Xingyue Tower has not yet welcomed any guests.
Having no other option, Zhou the landlord inquired at the surrounding shops and, after learning Qiu Dayu's address, hurriedly went to the courtyard.
