Damao had said before that girls who had not signed a contract would either live in the embroidery workshop's private courtyard or in the courtyard outside.
She had a house in Hualin Lane, and once the scholar left, she could let Xiaoyu live there. But Xiaoyu definitely couldn't live there alone, so she had to at least buy a maid to keep her company so that she could feel at ease.
Hou Wu learned that Song Yuehua wanted to buy a maid this time, and said enthusiastically, "There are many maids in the pawnshop, big and small, tall and short, all kinds of maids are available."
There was an open space in the backyard. Hou Wu called out people and they stood in rows. Each of them looked pale and thin, with dull eyes.
After looking around, Song Yuehua let Xiaoyu choose by herself.
Xiaoyu looked at them one by one, and finally pointed at a girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old, tall, and looked clean, and said, "Sister, I want her."

Duan Yidao chuckled and said, "He should know some fancy moves."
"That's not bad either." Song Yuehua said.
Knowing some fighting skills was exactly what Song Yuehua wanted.
When the short girl heard this, she suddenly felt that she had no hope.
Song Yuehua and Hou Wu said, "I want both of them."
The short girl in front of her suddenly looked up and felt that the person in front of her was like a female Bodhisattva.
