Chapter 2: My Name

Last night, when Mrs. Wang took me to the study to ask the young master for peace, the young master was practicing calligraphy on the best rice paper.

When he saw us coming, he stopped the brush in his hand, and then looked at us quietly.

I whispered, "Hello young master, I came to Qingzhu Courtyard according to Steward Zhao's instructions to assist Wang Po in serving the young master." ”

"Oh, I see, then you can be more confident in the future, you can speak louder, and you can usually listen to the words of the princess."

When I heard the word "oh", I was very scared in my heart, afraid that the young master would be dissatisfied with me and would drive me out of the yard.

For in the past three years, I have heard from the grandmothers that if the master is not satisfied with the maids, the steward will assign them to the laundry room to do the hardest and most tiring work, and these people often do not live long.

Some of them died of exhaustion, some of them couldn't hold on to illness and died, and no one cared about them after they died.

So I was really scared, scared of being kicked out, afraid of being assigned to the laundry room, and then dying in obscurity.

Fortunately, the young master was very satisfied with me and chose to let me stay, the young master was a very gentle person as rumored.

It's just that the young master will not remember that there is such a little girl who was gently saved by him.

He asked me, "Where did we meet, by the way, what's your name?" ”

I said with some emotion: "Yes, young master, we met in the gazebo in the courtyard three years ago.

At that time, I just wanted to escape home, but I didn't know why I ran here, and it was the young master who said good things to the steward for me at that time, and then I was spared a severe beating.

Later, I would never have thought that I could come to Qingzhu Courtyard to serve you, young master, maybe this is the blessing that Steward Zhao said. ”

"It's you, no wonder I feel like I've seen you somewhere, but you still haven't said your name."

Before entering the house, my parents called me Erya, my brother also called me Erya, and then the people in the village also called me Erya.

In my memory, I don't have a good name, I have been called "Erya", after entering the house, Steward Zhao and the grandmother who taught me called me "Erya", and I have been called until now.

When I was in the village, I didn't think Erya was ugly, on the contrary, there were many people who called Erya, such as Zhao Erya, Li Erya and so on.

But after entering the house, I heard what kind of snow was it, snow was clear, and no matter how bad it was, it was snow, which was much better than Erya or something.

He shook his head and said that he couldn't do this, and he didn't dare to do it, and that renaming it could only be decided by my future master, and he was just a slave of Liufu.

I squirmed and pinched for a while, I really didn't want to say that my name was Erya, and it was in front of the young master, it was really embarrassing.

I don't want to say it, but someone will help me say it, such as Wang Po.

"Back to the young master, it's because her name is Erya, so I don't want to say it, I hope the young master understands", Wang Po, who was standing on the side, said.

After listening to Wang Po's speech, the young master couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's been a long time since I've heard such an interesting name, it's been a long time."

The young master still laughed at my name as I imagined, after all, Erya sounded really bad.

My face immediately turned red, all the way to my neck, not angry, but ashamed, a sense of shame permeating my heart.

But I didn't dare to run away, so I could only lower my head, let the flush on my face spread everywhere, and at the same time I didn't dare to look at the young master, so I had to wait for the young master to finish laughing.

But when the young master saw me like this, he actually laughed even louder, and then even the princess laughed with him.

At this time, even I began to wonder, is Erya really that funny?

Although I wanted to run away at this time, I told myself over and over again, hold on, and the young master laughed at what my name is, as long as I can not go to the laundry room, I will admit it, it is a big deal to break the jar and break it.

After laughing, the young master opened his mouth and said: "This name is good, I will still call you Erya in the future, come on, Erya." ”

Although I didn't understand what "come on" meant, I almost cried when I thought that I would still be called Er Ya in the future.

The young master couldn't be trusted, so he had to look at the princess pitifully, with my little eyes that kept pleading.

The unbearable Wang Po said: "Young master, you better choose a new name for Erya, after all, girls also value names very much, and the name Erya, we can call it in private." ”

The young master sat on the chair, thought for a while, and then said: "In the future, Erya will be surnamed Liu, called Liu Qingzhu, usually when there are people, called Qing'er, or Xiaoqing, and when there is no one else, it will be called Erya." ”

I also accepted my fate, although I didn't get rid of the name "Erya", but I also have a nice name, called Liu Qingzhu, called Qing'er.

From today on, my name is Liu Qingzhu, and I am the young master's Qing'er.

Wang Po saw that I was still stunned, and said to me: "Don't thank the young master soon, don't be stupid at you, stupid girl." ”

I bowed and said, "Oh, thank you, young master, I really like the name Liu Qingzhu."

"But I still feel that Erya is very suitable for you, very kind."

I don't dare to refute the young master, and I don't want to admit that after being called Er Ya for so many years, I can't completely abandon it, after all, I am the first name.

I had to listen to the young master silently on the side, and then retreat.

"That's it today, Erya will be in charge of the morning in the future, Wang Po is old, you should sleep a little longer, and you can listen to Wang Po's arrangement for the rest."

Then he waved back and we slowly left.

For me, Qingzhuyuan is already very large, the front room, usually as the young master's study, there are guests who come to receive in the study.

Secondly, there are two wings, divided into things and things, the young master lives in the east wing, and the west wing is lived by me and Wang Po.

I was already very satisfied with being able to live in a room for two people, and I lived in a room with my parents before I entered the house, and after I entered the house, there were six or seven people in a room.

And the west wing is very large, although it is smaller than the east wing of the young master, but it is also the largest house I have ever lived in, it turns out that I am really a blessed person.

In the back room, there are a lot of miscellaneous items, and there is also a small kitchen, which can be used to cook in normal times.

In the middle of the yard is a pond, and there are some loose bamboos planted on the side of the pond, but in the middle of the pond, there is a small pavilion standing, which is the place where I first met the young master.

"Qing'er, you will be responsible for the young master's morning life in the future, you must first prepare the hot water when the young master washes, and then go to the back kitchen to bring the young master's breakfast back, be sure to bring it hot.

For the rest, don't talk too much, just do what the young master tells you to do.

By the way, before entering the young master's room, you must knock on the door first, otherwise the young master will be unhappy.

You'd better not think about it, although the young master is kind, but I'm not, I'm not a good person who has survived in the house fight until now. ”

In the end, Wang Po seemed to be a different person, her eyes were like knives, staring at me fiercely.

I understand what Wang Po said, I heard the grandmothers say that there was once a maid who got together with her master by virtue of her good looks, and became a concubine, which can be said to be turned over, but then she fell out of favor and was tortured to death by the master's wife.
