"Alright, let's go back to our room and get dressed first." Yun Zhourong nodded in satisfaction.
Afterwards, Yun Zhourong pretended to go back to her room, but actually took two down jackets from her spatial storage before going to Xiao Shitou's room.
As a result, we saw that Little Stone was already dressed.
But the silly older brother was still sleeping, sprawled out on his back, looking completely carefree, a stark contrast to Little Stone.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Little Stone again; being a younger brother is really not easy!
"Put these clothes on, then come out for dinner." Yun Zhourong put the clothes down and went out.
Wearing the down jacket, the feeling of being wrapped in its soft warmth warmed Xiao Shitou's heart, and he resolved even more firmly that he would repay Yun Zhourong in the future.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Little Stone finally arrived late with his mentally challenged brother.
She said with a guilty look, "My brother is grumpy when he wakes up. He's very uncooperative every time he gets up. Plus, the bed here is so comfortable that he doesn't want to get up at all."
"Hahaha…"
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter.
It was Madam Yun who spoke first with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. They're just kids, it's normal for them to stay in bed a little longer. Come and eat, don't go hungry."
"No need, we won't sit at the table, we'll just eat on the side." Little Stone quickly waved his hand in refusal.
As a result, Sun Xiaohua and Wu Dani got up and pulled the two of them to their seats.
Smiling, he explained, "Our master is very kind. He said that since there are fewer people in our family now, there's no such rule. We two are also servants, so we eat together."
"Then... thank you, masters." Seeing this, Little Stone did not refuse, but stood up and thanked them repeatedly.
"You're not young anymore, but you're quite polite. Please sit down."
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she introduced him, "This is my grandmother, you will call her Old Madam from now on. These are my parents, you will call them Master and Madam. This is my master, you will call him Second Master from now on. This is my younger brother, you will call him Second Young Master from now on."
"Okay, I got it." Little Stone nodded quickly.
"By the way, Little Stone, we've discussed it and decided to make you Xiao Yuan's page. Would you like that?"
At this moment, Yun Zhourong said, "It's just that I'll accompany you to the academy to study, and I'll also pay you wages."
If Yun Mingyuan wants to pursue the imperial examination route in the future, having a pageboy will be very necessary to take care of his daily life.
"I...I can go to school too?"
This was something Little Stone never expected. He nodded excitedly, "I...I'm willing, but I don't need wages. The masters have already shown me immense kindness by feeding and lodging me."
Reading books was something he never even dared to dream of!
For ordinary people like them, just surviving is a struggle; how could they possibly dare to dream of going to school and learning to read and write?
"That won't do. The construction period must be paid. You should save it carefully. You'll need money to get married and have children in the future." Yun Zhourong painted a beautiful picture of the future for Xiao Shitou.
Upon hearing this, Little Stone blushed and whispered, "I...I'm still young..."
"Hahaha…"
That made everyone laugh again.
Yun Hongcheng coughed lightly and said, "But everyone grows up eventually. Ruan Ruan is right. You deserve this wage, so just keep it."
“That’s right, we all get paid.” Sun Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Then... thank you very much, Master. I will definitely take good care of the young master!" Little Stone said earnestly.
"Yes, I believe you." Yun Zhourong nodded gently.
"Then we'll be good friends from now on. By the way, what's your name?" Yun Mingyuan asked happily.
Back when he was at the Earl's mansion, he was in poor health and was almost always bedridden. In addition, he didn't have a good relationship with Yun Mingxuan, so he never had any friends.
Now, with Little Stone as his page, he finally has a true playmate of the same age.
"My name is Little Stone," Little Stone said, scratching his head a little shyly.
"Okay, then this will be your nickname from now on. You still need to choose a formal name. What's your surname? I'll help you choose one," Yun Hongcheng said with a smile.
"My surname is Chen," Little Stone said, looking expectantly at Yun Hongcheng.
Poor families often choose names randomly, whatever they see is the best name.
A proper name costs money, and his family couldn't afford it, plus he was still young, so they never changed it.
"Hmm, Chen... I hope your future will be bright. Let's name you Chen Xianghui. Do you like it?" Yun Hongcheng said after a moment of contemplation.
"Chen Xianghui...a bright future...I like it, I like it very much, thank you, sir!"
Little Stone—oh, no, now it's Chen Xianghui—immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Hongcheng.
"Alright, you're just too polite."
Yun Zhourong quickly stepped forward to help the person up, and then said, "Then let's eat quickly, otherwise someone's mouth will start watering."
After that, everyone looked at the mentally challenged older brother.
I happened to see him put his index finger in his mouth, staring at the dishes on the table and drooling.
"elder brother!"
Chen Xianghui was extremely embarrassed and quickly pulled his mentally challenged brother's finger out, saying sternly, "I told you before that you can't put your fingers in your mouth, have you forgotten?"
The mentally challenged older brother quickly put his hands behind his back and apologized sincerely, saying, "Brother was wrong, brother was wrong, I won't hit you... I won't hit your hand."
"Hey, you've really done a good job teaching your brother." Upon seeing this, Yun Hongcheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"However, I feel..."
At this moment, Zhao stared at her mentally challenged brother for a while and murmured, "Why does he... look so familiar?"
“Yes, now that you mention it, I also think he looks familiar.” Madam Yun also stared at the mentally challenged brother and examined him closely.
“Well… I think he looks somewhat like Ruan Ruan.”
At this moment, Lan Jianhe suddenly said, "The feeling between the two of them is quite similar."
"Yes, yes, she does look a bit like Ruan Ruan!"
"Yes, although they look quite different when you look closely, at a glance, their eyebrows and eyes really do look alike!"
"I feel the same way, it's a very familiar feeling."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone began comparing Yun Zhourong and her mentally challenged brother.
Yun Zhourong only realized then that it was because her silly brother looked like her!
"Sister, do you have any lost relatives?"
At this moment, Chen Xianghui was silent for a while before saying, "My brother is not actually my biological son; I adopted him."
"What? You found it?" Everyone was taken aback.
