"Reporting to the second master, in the second master's room, Aunt Jin asked us to tidy up the small cubicle next to it, saying that it would be convenient for her to serve the second master."

When Jia Lian first moved in, the people below arranged for two young daughters-in-law to serve him.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Jia Lian also knew what it meant.

But under Ping'er's gaze, Jia Lian was someone who had a crush on Wang Xifeng. How could he take these servants' wives in his eyes? Naturally, he drove them out without mercy.

Therefore, there was no one serving in his room. Jin Cai's daughter-in-law's arrangement was within his expectation.

Asking others to take Xiang Ling back first, Jia Lian went to the outer courtyard and practiced boxing with Zhang Yong for another hour before returning.

This old house is much more convenient than the Lin Mansion. Not only can you practice long-distance running, but it also has a dedicated martial arts field.

It can be seen that the martial arts style in the old house is stronger than that of the Guogong Mansion built by the royal family in Beijing. It is not known whether the emperor at that time deliberately did not build a martial arts field, or the Jia family at that time no longer needed it...

After taking a bath, I walked back to the house. At this time, the housekeepers and wives had packed up the beds and left, leaving Xiangling alone in the house.

Xiangling had already learned a lot of rules entrusted to her by housekeepers and wives, so when she saw Jia Lian coming in, she quickly poured Jia Lian a cup of tea.

Jia Lian took a sip and saw that Xiang Ling was still a little fresh, so he pulled her to sit on the edge of the tea table and said softly: "From now on, you can follow me with peace of mind. You can tell me anything you want."

, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you.

Also, talk more usually, I like to listen to you."

Xiangling nodded shyly.

Jia Lian said again: "By the way, let me give you another name. From now on you will be called Xiangling, the fragrance of flowers, the water chestnut of lotus leaves and water chestnuts. What do you think?"

Xiangling's previous name, Yinglian, was homophonic to Yinglian, which Jia Lian felt was not very good. However, the word "Xiangling" chosen by Baochai was both elegant and nice-sounding.

Xiangling was about to bow down immediately and said, "Thank you, Second Master, for giving me the name. From now on, I will be called Xiangling."

Jia Lian held her up with one hand and said, "Don't kneel to me every now and then. I'm not a landowner or a rich man. Why do you, a little girl, kneel to me?"

Xiangling said this and smiled sheepishly.

Jia Lian drank tea again and stood up, "It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."

Xiangling blushed and said, "I~I'm here to help the second master sleep..."

Jia Lian looked at her appearance, smiled, picked her up, and when she was obviously nervous but silent, he carried her to the small bed outside, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and finally put her on the bed.

She bounced her head and said with a smile: "Whenever you truly learn to serve others, come and give me a good night's sleep. For now, just sleep on your own."

After saying that, he turned around, blew out the candle on the cabinet, and walked back to the inner room.
