Little Yao’er wrinkled her nose. “With Mother around, I’m not afraid. Niother will always protect me…”

The next day, when Yu Youyao woke up, Auntie Xu was no longer around.

In her dream, her mother was holding her hand. It was so warm and sincere. Her mother’s gentle voice echoed in her ears. “Okay, Mother will always protect my Little Yao’er…”

Yu Youyao called out in a daze, “Mother…”

Auntie Xu heard the commotion and entered the house.

Yu Youyao’s eyes were red. “Auntie, I dreamed of my mother.”

Auntie Xu chuckled. “What did you dream about?”

Yu Youyao held back her tears. “l dreamed that my mother wanted to make elm pancakes for me to eat. I also dreamed that she said she would always protect me.”

Auntie Xu stroked her hair and said nothing.

Yu Youyao threw herself into Auntie Xu’s arms again. “Auntie, I want to eat elm fruits pancakes. My mother liked to eat this when she was young. I’ve never eaten it before.’

Auntie Xu looked at the tall purple elm tree outside the window, which was already turning yellow. “At this time of the year, you can’t eat elm fruit pancakes, but you can get powder from the elm bark. You can also make elm bark powder pancakes. When the elm tree grows elm fruits next spring, I’ll pick the elm fruits and make you elm fruit pancakes, okay?”

Yu Youyao quickly nodded. “Okay, I will eat eat elm bark pancakes.”

After breakfast, Yu Youyao gave the gifts that she had prepared long ago to everyone in the Xie Residence. Some of these etiquette were prepared in the name of the Yu Residence. They were all specialties, spices, supplements, and so on from the capital. Some were prepared by Yu Youyao herself. Most of them were incense, tea, fat, powder, and so on. Her grandmother and a few aunts each received a small box of gems and agate.

Yu Youyao had just moved into the Yi Water Garden and had many things to do.

Worried that there would be insufficient manpower in the main courtyard of the Yi Water Courtyard, Madam Wang instructed familiar people to enter the residence as soon as they arrived.

When Yu Youyao received the news, she quickly welcomed her.

Madam Wang happily held Yu Youyao’s hand. “Did you sleep well last night? Are you used to sleeping on the bed?”

Yu Youyao nodded. “I’ve been on the boat for many days. After I got ashore, I also felt like my body was floating. I finally had a good sleep yesterday and even dreamed of my mother.”

Madam Wang also saw that she looked good. “That’s good.” Then, she changed the topic and said with a smile, “When you came to Quanzhou, not all the servants in the courtyard came over together. It’s inevitable that there won’t be enough people in the courtyard. Also, there aren’t many people in your courtyard. I’m worried about the local servants in Quanzhou taking care of you, so I found some people to come over. Pick some of them to take care of you later.”

The Xie Residence made the decision to arrange this in case Yu Youyao came over and was flustered. It would be inconvenient for her in every way.

The servants in the courtyard were all serving in the house. They had to be close to their masters, so they were very picky. Yu Youyao had to choose someone they liked, so she had to choose herself.

Yu Youyao knew that Eldest Aunt was worried about her thoughts and was very touched. “The rules are different everywhere. I wonder how the people here should be chosen.’

Seeing that she wanted to listen to her opinion, Madam Wangs smile deepened. She quickly said, “Auntie Xu is a dignified person. She can teach the servants herself, so there’s no need to choose those who can serve you soon as they come over. Pick some people who have death contracts. They have clear backgrounds and have only been briefly taught the rules. The younger ones will be more useful when they’re in front of you and are taught by you.”

Little Yao’er was the daughter of an official and the County Head of Shaoyi. Although she did not show it, she had to be more cautious.

It was also more appropriate to teach someone herself.

Every word and sentence was sincerely for her sake, so Yu Youyao naturally appreciated it. “When choosing people, I will have to get Eldest Aunt to help

Auntie Xu with my choice.”

Madam Wang agreed immediately.

Yu Youyao held Madam Wangs hand and went to the courtyard.

Auntie Xu was talking to the broker.
