Changing Names and Asking About Names


Sponsored Content

Sure enough, Aunt Li wanted to have Qi Ting’s name changed, thus she became a little unhappy .

She knew that this Aunt Li, while appearing quite warm and kind, was actually very stubborn and resolute in her actions .

It was because of this that Qi Zhou would choose her to handle the matters in the Western Wing .

Arguing with this Aunt Li was likely futile . She could only turn her attention to Yu Fu .

“Young Miss Yu Fu, this servant has grown up with this name . My grandfather and father both have the surname Qi, and they are both stewards in this manor . Could you be a little accommodating?”

Upon hearing these words, Aunt Li immediately became unhappy . Even Lian Zhu’s group of four could not help but pout .

But showing consideration to Qi An, they could not say anything about Qi Ting . They could only watch to see how Yu Fu would rule on this matter .

She was young and had a gentle disposition, but it would be best if she was not swayed by Qi Ting!

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yu Fu, but she was not someone who could be easily manipulated . She had her own scales to determine right and wrong .

They saw her look at her sincerely with her large, bright eyes .

“Sister Qi, I understand that you are reluctant to part with your name, but even sister Lian Zhu and the others have changed their names . If you are the only one to not change, that would be too unfair to the others . The rules of this manor would also end up being ignored . Sister Qi, what do you think?”

Normally, it was Qi Ting who would frequently speak about order and rules, as she would say that Yao Lan did not follow the rules and that she was a naughty girl .

Today, she herself had been lectured by Yu Fu about the rules . As a result, she was left speechless .

After Yu Fu finished speaking, she turned around and said to Aunt Li: “Aunt Li, for the sake of fairness, I should have allowed you to also change Yao Lan’s name, but her name was given by an elder, my master . If it was changed, it truly would be unfair to my old master…”

She slightly bit on her pink lips and observed Lian Zhu’s group with a hint of guilt . She felt that she had still caused a small amount of unfairness .

Aunt Li saw her expression and was about to console her, but Lian Zhu’s group was first to speak .

“Young miss, don’t say that . This is very fair . Sister Yao Lan has been with young miss since childhood . Young miss has grown accustomed to it, so why change it? We had our names changed in pairs, and it was for the sake of making things easier for young miss . What does everyone else think?”

Lian Bi and Lian Mang were in agreement, as Yin Ling and Yin Xue copied them . They all expressed that this was the case .

Aunt Li looked at the four servants that she had chosen and could not help but nod to show her approval . She felt that she really had keen eyes .

These four servants really were understanding .

It was just this Qi Ting…

Aunt Li did not want to waste any words on her and directly said: “Then from this day forward, Qi Ting will have her name changed to Yao Hong . This name is pretty and will form a pair with Yao Lan . ”

“Sister Yao Hong . ”

Lian Zhu’s group promptly set to calling her this while nodding toward her in acknowledgment .

Qi Ting’s expression, however, made it look as if she had a fly in her mouth that she could neither swallow nor spit out…

With these servants as companions, Yu Fu was quite happy . She had plenty of things to talk about with them .

Watching from the side, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi had fooled around so much that they could no longer play together as much . The two were quite annoyed . To try and scare Yu Fu, they teased her by saying that they would take in Lian Zhu and the others to serve them .

Though Yu Fu was still young, this was not enough to startle her .

“Sister Lian Zhu is best at brushing hair . Look at how she did my hair and how pretty it is! What do you want sister Lian Zhu for? Do you also want this sort of hairstyle?”

Yu Fu’s words caused Lian Zhu’s group to giggle . Gu Yi was left even more speechless .

Qi Ting, however, was able to gain a bit of insight from this little joke .

The next time a young man came to visit this manor, she would get close to them to serve tea . She would serve them attentively and hope that they would say something similar about wanting to take her in to serve them .

Ever since Lian Zhu’s group had come, Yu Fu very rarely made use of Qi Ting .

The reason was very simple . Lian Zhu was better than her at styling her hair, Lian Bi was better at making deserts than her, Yin Lian was better at telling jokes, and Yin Xue was more attentive…

They had all received training in the manor from a young age . Although the manor had not made use of servants in the past ten years, they had not forgotten about their duty .

Only Qi Ting had been spoiled rotten . Unable to thread a needle or even use one, she had no strengths .

She was also happy with this idle lifestyle, spending her days in the Western Wing directing things here and there . She herself acted like a young miss, being just as lazy and unwilling to work . She would only get close whenever young men came around .

After this happened a few times, her intentions became known by all .

“Yao Hong, you can go . There’s no need to serve us here . ”

Gu ShuBai had come by one day for some tea and noticed Qi Ting hanging around him . There was also a pungent smell coming from her body, and he felt very uncomfortable .

He had become accustomed to the life of training in the military and did not like the fragrances that came from female bodies, much less the pungent ones .

Qi Ting, however, was not the slightest bit attentive, as she stepped forward to serve tea to Gu ShuBai .

“They only just arrived and do not know how to serve . Eldest sir should continue to allow this servant to serve here . ”

The act of serving the tea brought her a little too close to him, and his handsome facial features bunched up a little . Raising his hand, he covered his nose and mouth .

Yu Fu could see where the problem lay and hurriedly said: “Sister Yao Hong, fifth and sixth brother forgot their fans here yesterday . Go and send them back to them!”

Qi Ting unhappily straightened up .

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were in no rush to use their fans . Could they not just want to retrieve them when they came to visit?

This would end up wasting her chance to make an appearance in front of this young man .

Though this was what she thought, she did not dare let any of this show in front of Gu ShuBai . She could only respectfully comply and head towards Gu Xiang and Gu Yi’s courtyards with their fans .

Seeing her depart, Yu Fu playfully stuck out her tongue at Gu ShuBai .

The latter gently tapped the top of her head .

“You really are a sly spirit!”

She was a well-loved sly spirit . Not only had she meticulously resolved his problem, but she had also employed a method that would leave nobody feeling awkward to resolve said problem .

Yu Fu suddenly remembered something and asked Gu ShuBai: “Why is it that everyone from eldest brother to fourth brother has two characters for their names, but fifth and sixth brothers only have one?”

With a thin smile and eyes that twinkled like stars, Gu ShuBai flashed a look of ridicule .

He wanted to tease Yu Fu a little .

“Take a guess, why was it?”

Yu Fu extended her arm . Because it was gradually getting warmer, she was only wearing a bright-red garment with golden oranges and green leaves embroidered on it . This gave her appear even more adorable and lively .

Resting her cheek on one hand, a bit of her pure-white wrist was exposed . That combined with her face made for quite a pleasant sight .

“My guess… My guess, uh, is that the head general has too many sons and got tired of coming up with names, thus he casually decided to just choose one by the end!”
