Seeing the two maids' blank expressions with affectionate eyes, Jia Yun felt a little proud, thinking that even though she had been singing single love songs for two years in this world of red mansions, her skills in seducing girls in her previous life had not deteriorated.
He deliberately said these words to impress the two maids, but they were all sincere. He really planned to do so, and planned to work harder in the future to make himself and the women around him more and more decent. This is also
His responsibility as a man.
Jia Yun then said: "By the way, now that you have followed me, I will give you a new name."
Xiren and Zicuckoo were not surprised that the maid would sometimes change her name after following a new master.
Zijuan was curious: "What does the second master want to name us?"
Xiren also stared at Jia Yun curiously.
Jia Yun glanced at Xiren: "From now on, you will be called 'Xiren', not 'Pearl'."
Xiren quickly asked: "What does 'attacker' mean?"
She had learned some simple words in Rongguofu over the years, but that was all.
Jia Yun said: "Lu Fangweng wrote a poem called "Book Joy in the Village". There is this sentence in it: When the fragrance of flowers hits your nose, you will know that the weather is warm. Your surname is 'Hua', and your name is
'Xi Ren', every time I see you in the future, I feel a warmth in my heart just like I feel the fragrance of flowers."
The big-faced boy probably didn't think so much when he named Xiren, but that's what Jia Yun is thinking now.
He did think that the name "Xi Ren" was good, but if he changed it to another name, it would feel weird.
When Xiren heard this, he lowered his head and blushed.
Zijuan smiled sweetly: "Second Master is not only a martial arts prodigy, but he also seems to be very good at reading."
Xiren glanced at Zicuckoo and thought: This sister has started to please the second master so early? Haha!
Zicuckoo couldn't wait any longer, and then asked with a sweet smile: "What name will the second master give me?"
Jia Yun said: "Just call me 'Zicjuan'."
The word "Zijuan" is easier to understand than "Xiren" and has no special meaning.
So Zijuan became depressed and thought: "It seems that this second master really likes pearls... Sister Xiren, what I want from the old lady today is Sister Xiren, and now I even give her a name."
I picked a good one and picked me a casual one, hum!"
At the same time, Zijuan felt strange about this attack. They were both Jia Yun's maids now, and Jia Yun changed their names together. Logically speaking, they should be changed to be symmetrical.
Although it is not stated clearly in the original work, the change from "parrot" to "purple cuckoo" should have been made by Lin Daiyu in order to be symmetrical with the little maid Xueyan beside her.
The masters of the Jia family usually have maids with symmetrical names around them, such as Ping'er and Feng'er next to Wang Xifeng, and Suyun and Biyue next to Li Wan.
Jia Yun said perfunctorily: "I give you names that don't need to be symmetrical. I think it's good, and you accept it, and that's it."
Xiren and Zicuckoo responded obediently.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun laughed again and said, "How about I give each of you a friendly title?"
Xiren and Zicuckoo suddenly felt a little shy again, and they all thought of Jia Yun in their hearts. This was their first day with him, and he was really not ashamed to call them such a name.
However, both of them were looking forward to it, and the anticipation was quite high, so they both lowered their heads a little in shyness, and neither of them felt embarrassed to speak.
Jia Yun looked at Xiren: "The name given to you is 'Xian Xiren', which means a virtuous Xiren. I heard from Brother Hua that you are a virtuous person."
Xiren became even more shy when he heard this, but felt happy in his heart.
Jia Yun looked at Zicuckoo again: "The one I gave you is called 'Little Cuckoo'."
Xiren, Zijuan: "..."
The two of them thought about Jia Yun again in their hearts. "Xian Xiren" was fine, but "cute Zicuckoo" was too shameful, right? It was a shame that he could think of such a shameful title.
However, Zicuckoo was happy in her heart. The depression just now because "Zicuckoo" couldn't compare with "Xi Ren" suddenly dissipated.
Xiren couldn't help but said: "Second Master, since it's the name you gave us, no matter what it is, even if it's embarrassing, we can bear it, but isn't this 'cute Zicuckoo' too weird?"
Ah? Parrot...Sister Zicuckoo is not only two years older than me, but also one year older than you."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "So what if she is one year older than me? Don't you think she looks cute?"
Xiren couldn't help but say "poof", Zijuan's face turned red, but her heart became even happier.
In fact, Jia Yun also felt that it was inappropriate to call him "cute Zicuckoo", but in his previous life, he watched the 1987 version of the TV series, and whenever Zicuckoo appeared, the barrage would be "cute Zicuckoo".
The reason why many viewers call her that is mainly because she is quite considerate and caring towards Lin Daiyu, and also because the actor who plays Zijuan looks younger. In fact, Zijuan is several years older than Lin Daiyu.
However, in her previous life, Jia Yun was also used to the title "Little Cuckoo", so she shouldn't change it.
While talking and laughing, under the service of two maids, Jia Yun had finished washing her face and feet, wiped her teeth with green salt, and rinsed her mouth.
At this time, Jia Yun discovered that the two maids were standing still, with their heads lowered, but they were looking at the canopy bed from the corner of their eyes, both looking shy.
Jia Yun thought for a moment and guessed what they were thinking. The two maids had just arrived, and he was still young. Of course, they didn't have any deviant thoughts. They probably just thought about whether they should warm his bed.
Sure enough, Zijuan, who was older and more cheerful, plucked up the courage to speak: "Second Master, do you need to warm your bed tonight?"
The so-called warm bed means that the maid goes into bed first, and then leaves when the bed is warm, allowing the master to sleep.
Jia Yun had to admit that his heart was moved, but she still smiled and said: "No, it's just your first day with me, so you don't have to do such a thing to me."
The attacker pointed to an outer bed next to him: "Do you need someone to sleep here?"
In the rich and powerful families in the world of red mansions, young men sometimes put an extra bed in their bedroom for their maids.
That's what happened to the big-faced boy. In the original novel, Xi Ren lived in the outer bed in his bedroom, and when Qingwen came, Xi Ren gave it to Qingwen.
Because Xiren felt that Mrs. Wang valued her as a member of the house, he had to respect himself, and her affairs became cumbersome. He was also kicked by Jia Baoyu and developed an old symptom of vomiting blood. Every time he worked hard or felt cold, he would cough.
There was blood in it, so I couldn't stay in the big-faced baby's bedroom at night.
The big-faced baby often wakes up at night and is very timid. Every time he wakes up, he has to call someone. Qingwen sleeps and sleeps alertly and moves lightly. Therefore, the big-faced baby gets a cup of tea at night, sits up and calls for help.
Gave it to Qingwen.
Jia Yun was moved again, but he didn't want to have two maids and become as pampered as a big-faced girl. It would be better to wait for a year and a half before talking about this kind of thing, so he smiled and said: "No need.
Now, you all go to sleep in the wing room."
Xiren and Zijuan both said "Oh", feeling a little depressed, but also a little happy. They both felt that this detail also reflected that their second master was not bad and was a bit serious.
The two of them gave Jia Yun a Wanfu gift and said good night before leaving.
This small courtyard has no wing rooms, only two wing rooms on the left and right.
That night, Xiren and Zicuckoo did not live in a separate penthouse each, but lived in the same penthouse. The two talked a lot about their thoughts, almost all of which were related to Jia Yun.
Both of them felt a kind of excitement in their hearts. They had lived in the inner house of Rongguo Mansion these years and were very conservative. Even if Xiren went home to visit relatives, they usually had to go back to the house at night. But today they just followed Jia Yun, so they followed Jia Yun.
Lived in this Cao Mansion.
Before falling asleep, Zijuan sighed: "Although we have just followed the second master today, I feel that our second master is a good one. If he improves in martial arts, he will be glorious in the future. He will treat maids like us the same way."
Like a young lady, the second master also respects us."
Xiren said "Yeah": "We are really lucky this time."
