The next day, early morning.
Su Wanyan got up early.
The Prince's favor is still ongoing and will likely last for three to five days. Su Wanyan hasn't decided when it will end yet; it depends on how much money she has.
Yesterday, Yu Nanqing's men took the imperial silver to register, and the silver was redeemed that afternoon.
Including the thousand taels of silver bestowed by Emperor Yuanhe, there were more than a dozen treasuries when they were brought back to the mansion. They had all been melted down into small pieces of silver and packed into boxes in bags.
Because there were too many items, Su Wanyan didn't rush to use them. She simply told Wang Zhang to take the money to buy ingredients, and if he didn't have enough, he could just take more from inside.
Wang Zhang took care of all the arrangements for bestowing favors, so Su Wanyan didn't need to worry about it much.
Now is not the time for her to be busy with these things; for her, the most important thing right now is Yu Nanqing.
Last night we came up with a new acupuncture treatment plan, and we're going to implement it on Yu Nanqing today.
However, before administering the acupuncture, she needed to go to the kitchen to get some food for Yu Nanqing.
However, when she opened the door, she saw Su Chien already standing there: "Sister!"
He exclaimed excitedly, "You're awake?"
Su Wanyan was taken aback for a moment before asking, "Why are you standing here? Have you rested enough? Have you eaten anything?"
Su Chien nodded repeatedly: "I've rested well and had breakfast."
He himself never expected to sleep from yesterday until this morning.
"Sister, I'm going to get breakfast for you and the Prince." Before he could finish speaking, he had already run out: "I'll be right back, sister, wait for me a moment."
"..." So diligent.
Su Chien's behavior makes her seem lazy.
At this moment, two maids entered with their heads bowed and respectful: "This servant greets Your Highness, the Princess."
Su Wanyan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that these were the two maids she had bought from the slave trader yesterday.
Last night, after feeding Yu Nanqing her medicinal meal and wiping her body, she went to sleep. Because she was too tired and it was a bit late, she said she wanted to take a shower but didn't.
Just now, when Su Chien was at the door, the two maids behaved themselves and did not come in.
Seeing the two kneeling, Su Wanyan quickly said, "Get up."
Since she had bought the person, he was always better than the people of Emperor Yuanhe. Su Wanyan still had to take care of him. She stopped herself from turning around and going back to her room, and instead sat down on the armchair in the hall.
Looking at the two of them, he asked, "What are your names?"
The two girls were the same age as the original owner, only thirteen years old. They wore their hair in two double buns and dressed in light green maid's clothes.
Although they looked a bit thin, both of them had round faces, like lucky dolls.
Their eyes were also bright and sparkling; whenever they looked up, they resembled two innocent little rabbits.
When Su Wanyan was choosing people, she bought these two girls because they were cute.
The broker explained that the people he worked with were all trained; they could do all kinds of rough, heavy, dirty, and tiring work, and they had all been taught the rules and etiquette.
So Su Wanyan can just buy it and use it directly.
Of course, she doesn't have any rough or heavy work here, but there is someone who is even more difficult to please than those who do rough or heavy work.
Yu Nanqing didn't want them to serve her, so she would keep them for herself and let her experience what it's like to be served, hehehe.
"This servant has no name." With that, the two knelt down again: "Please, Your Majesty, bestow upon us a name."
Su Wanyan had a bit of a headache: "Get up and talk."
Upon hearing this, the two obediently stood up again.
Su Wanyan looked at the two of them and said, "I don't like people kneeling before me, so you don't need to kneel down all the time. If it's just because of the rules, you can just curtsy to me when you see me."
"yes."
Su Wanyan heard that the maids who were bought back were all given new names, which meant that they would sever all ties with their past and serve their masters wholeheartedly from now on.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Su Wanyan did not insist.
But when asked to name a child, she thought and thought, and for a while, she really didn't know what name to choose.
Unlike Su Chien, they don't need a source for their full name, just like when she registered Su Chien's household registration.
However, since they were slaves, she wasn't kind enough to return their household registration to everyone she met. In the end, the Prince Gong's mansion wasn't under her control.
So, should we just pick anything?
It has to be easy to pronounce.
Names are usually chosen based on the context of the time, the characteristics of the person, or the expectations placed on the person.
If there were any expectations, Su Wanyan had no expectations of them; that scene was now in the autumn of August.
Su Wanyan tapped the armrest of the armchair with her index finger, thought for a while, and then decided on Qiu and Huang.
She pointed to the maid on her right: "Your name is Qiuye."
Qiu Yefu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this name upon me."
“Your name is Huang Ye,” Su Wanyan said, pointing to another one.
Huang Ye lowered her eyes and curtsied, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Your Majesty."
Having finished bestowing the name, Su Wanyan felt as if she had accomplished a task, and her mood was inexplicably good.
Just then, Su Chien came over with breakfast: "Sister! Breakfast is here!"
"Give it to me, I'll take it in." Su Wanyan stepped forward and took the tray, smiling, "These two are maids I bought yesterday. We just named them, one is Qiuye and the other is Huangye. You can take them to familiarize themselves with the Prince's residence first..."
After thinking for a moment, I decided, "Let's familiarize ourselves with the main courtyard first."
The Prince's Palace is too big; it would take most of a day to explore it, which is a waste of time.
"Okay!" Su Chien readily agreed, "Follow me!"
Su Chien was full of energy, and Su Wanyan smiled as she carried breakfast into the room.
Yu Nanqing's breakfast usually consisted of easy-to-eat foods, such as rice porridge, meat porridge, fish porridge, chicken soup, fish soup, egg custard, and soups.
Su Wanyan's breakfast was quite lavish, with all sorts of dishes, including three-ingredient buns, sugar buns, crystal buns, crispy dumplings, plain cakes, flower rolls, and so on, as well as noodles, rice noodles, and stir-fries. She almost never repeated a dish every day.
Unless she's completely stuffed, Su Wanyan usually finishes her breakfast.
Thinking back to the first few days after I transmigrated, I was always hungry. I even brought back a big bag of steamed buns after going out, which I shared for two or three days.
She still remembers how down on her luck she was back then, so she had to split a steamed bun in half, leaving one half for Yu Nanqing and keeping the other half for herself, which she then ate over two days.
Thinking of all this, Su Wanyan couldn't help but smile as she placed the tray on the bedside table.
"But what good thing happened?"
Yu Nanqing had already woken up, but her voice sounded weak.
"There's no such thing as a good thing. When I first met you, we didn't even have anything to eat. Look at us now, we can have whatever we want to eat. How much has changed?"
really.
Yu Nanqing's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "It's all because of you."
If it weren't for Su Wanyan, he might already be rotting in his bed.
Su Wanyan picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth: "I'll feed you after I finish eating, otherwise I won't have the strength."
