While Ren Yaoqi was at peace, Leshan and Leshui were not so lucky. Xiangqin, relying on her status as the favored head maid, began to act arrogantly in front of the two younger maids.
"You guys are walking with such wide strides! If Madam Zhou sees you, she'll spank you!"
"Tsk, I told you to take smaller steps, not to walk slowly. If you can't even walk properly, Madam Zhou will definitely not be satisfied."
"Why are you so stupid? You must learn the rules from now on, otherwise Madam Zhou won't allow you to follow the Fifth Young Miss! You can't just become a maidservant to the Young Miss if you want to!"
…
So Le Shan and Le Shui understood one thing before they followed Ren Yaoqi: the maids around the young lady were so majestic, and there was also a Nanny Zhou who was very scary. As long as they did anything wrong, they would not be allowed to follow the young lady.
The girl Xiangqin successfully showed off her power in front of the younger generation and also made Madam Zhou bear the bad reputation for her.
When Ren Yaoqi arrived at the backyard, Pingguo had already taken Zhu Ruomei to the west wing to drink tea. Although Pingguo and Zhu Ruomei were the only two people in the west wing with the door open when Ren Yaoqi approached, Chunsheng was in the courtyard with his two monkey-like children, sweeping the yard and doing somersaults.
Ren Yaoqi knew the special nature of Prince Xian's mansion, so she could only take the people to the backyard. Zhu Ruomei couldn't go any further inside. Although Chunsheng was sweeping the courtyard, he could see all the movements in the west wing.
Until they saw Ren Yaoqi coming, Chunsheng and his two children saluted Ren Yaoqi from a distance, and then stood farther away, but still in the backyard.
I don't know who's rehearsing a piece from "The Hate of Life and Death." I can only hear the voice, but I can't see the person. The humming and groaning, coupled with the constant sounds of the erhu and zither, creates a vague, unreal, and lively atmosphere.
Zhu Ruomei was listening intently, her fingers pointing at the coffee table. When she looked up and saw Ren Yaoqi coming in, she quickly stood up and saluted.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, indicating that Zhu Ruomei didn't need to be polite, and then sat in the main seat.
Le Shan and Le Shui consciously stayed outside the door, each acting as a door god. Xiang Qin thought about it and decided not to follow in. After all, she was the third lady's maid, not the fifth lady's.

The little girl on the right spoke first, "We two servants don't have names. We were always called Daya and Erya. Please, young lady, give us names."
She is indeed a smart girl.
Although Ren Yaoqi chooses loyal maids first, it is not a bad thing for them to be smart.
Rong smiled and said, "You can name them."
The two little girls finally raised their heads slightly. Although they didn't dare to look at Ren Yaoqi, their two pairs of bright eyes were full of hope, and they even looked a little excited.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"
This time it was the little girl on the left who answered: "We servants don't know who is older and who is younger. We were bought by our parents before we could even remember. Our adoptive master always mixed us up at first, so we have no idea who is the older sister and who is the younger sister."
"Then your name is Leshan." Ren Yaoqi pointed first at the one on the left, then at the one on the right, "Your name is Leshui."
Upon hearing this, the sisters who had received new names happily knelt down again to express their gratitude.
Rong smiled and jokingly said, "A wise man loves water, and a kind man loves mountains. Your name is too grand, it doesn't sound like a maid's name at all."
Ren Yaoqi supported his chin and smiled brightly: "Names are for people to use, so just like it."
Ren Yaoqi asked the two sisters some more questions and found that they were not only smart but also calm and not impetuous. He couldn't help but feel more satisfied.
As she was speaking, Ren Yaoqi saw Xiang Qin standing at the door and winked at her.
