"What's your name?"

After the others left, Xia Ning turned around and asked the little girl beside her.

"My name is Erni, Yang Erni."

Xia Ning couldn't help asking, "Then your sister's name is Yang Dani?" Do you have any other siblings in your family? ”

She was not surprised at all by their names, not to mention the completely feudal antiquity, even girls in the sixties and seventies still couldn't get a proper name.

Generally, it is a wholesale name such as a big girl, two girls, and a small flower and a small grass.

Yang Erni replied honestly, "Well, yes, I have five children in my family, my sister is the eldest, I am the second, fifteen this year, and there are two younger sisters and a younger brother below." ”

"Okay." The corners of Xia Ning's mouth twitched slightly, as soon as she heard this, she knew that it was another patriarchal family, and she continued to give birth to four children in order to have a son.

It can only be said that the women of this era are really brave, and it is even more difficult.

"Do you want to get a new name?"

Xia Ning turned to ask for her opinion, she felt that 'Erni' was just a pronoun for girls at the moment, not a serious name at all, everyone was unique, and they were all qualified and deserved to have a 'complete' name.

Even if this name is the same as other people's, it is still a serious name, it is better than the iconic code name produced by the times, and it feels like a sacrificial accessory.

Hearing this, Yang Erni was slightly stunned, "Can I change my name?" ”

To be honest, she didn't think about changing her name before this, to be more precise, she didn't have this awareness at all, after all, the girl in the village was either Ni or Ya, and she was used to hearing it over the years, and she felt that it was her own name.

Now when she heard the words of the young lady of the main family, she suddenly realized that she could change her name.

Xia Ning said softly, "Don't you want to? I think the name Erni is too common, and many girls in Erni Village will respond to it, you have now left the Yang family and have a new life, so you can naturally change to a new name. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized a very important matter, and almost ignored it.

"By the way, Erni, I haven't asked you yet, do you still want to go back to your home?"

She is out of appreciation for Erni, so she is willing to spend fifty taels of silver to buy her, it just so happens that she also lacks a female assistant by her side, and many things are naturally more convenient for girls, and although Li Jiang and Huzi are also their own people, their work is more suitable for running errands, and it is not convenient to follow them closely.

She does intend to cultivate Erni, after all, there are still too few members in Baiyun Village, and according to her and Shaoqin's assumptions, more talents will definitely be needed to support the base plan in the future.

But the other party is just a fifteen-year-old girl, she doesn't want other people's families to be scattered, Yang Laosi is not a reliable and good father, and the sisters have a mother and younger siblings, she doesn't want Erni to cut off the relationship.

In her opinion, everyone needs to have a complete family in the process of growing up, and warmth, love, and companionship are the best nutrients for growth.

Her own life is missing some nutrients, and if she can, she still really hopes that others can have a complete youth.

She is willing to give money to help Erni, more because she appreciates her as a person, and she can't bear to fall into the abyss in her life, and there are many ways to be grateful, and it is not necessary to let the other party be a slave to repay herself.

Hearing this, Yang Erni hurriedly expressed her determination, "Miss, I am already your person, and I will only obey your orders from now on, I will count my words, and I will not regret it!" As for my home? I didn't plan to go back, and the bride price of a few taels of silver for marrying a daughter in our village was already very valuable.

The fifty taels you gave are enough to repay them for their kindness to me, so I don't owe them anything, although my mother is a little weak, but she will not treat her children harshly, and when I can support myself in the future, I will take the time to go back and see them. ”

"You can figure it out, okay, if you don't want to go back, then follow me."

Xia Ning showed a shallow smile, and recognized her a little more in her heart, feeling that the two of them were quite similar in this regard.

It's hard for her to think about kinship so clearly at a young age, and as the old saying goes, when she keeps suffering from it, she is much more mature than she was back then.

In this way, she does not have to worry about the other party's family relationship.

"Well, my slave will definitely serve the young lady well." Yang Erni was about to say something, but suddenly realized that her current identity is a subordinate, and she should no longer call herself 'me'.

Although she had no experience as a slave in a large family, there were several girls in their village who worked as maids in rich families, and occasionally they would go back to the village to visit relatives, and she heard some rules by the way.

"We live in Baiyun Village, not a big family in the city, you just call it as usual, you don't have to call yourself a 'slave', and don't kneel and kowtow at every turn, remember?"

Xia Ning emphasized very seriously, what she needs is a capable assistant, a right-hand man who can help her reduce her burden, not a kowtow worm who can only kneel at every turn and not think for herself.

Miss and the like honorific titles she can accept, kowtow and slave slave and slave to forget it, she is not used to it, and she listens awkwardly, so she is not embarrassed by herself.

"Miss, I remember."

Yang Erni has known how to observe words and emotions since she was a child, and she is also very keen in some subtle expressions, which will make her see the seriousness in the young lady's expression, so she is very obedient.

She just needs to know that she is following orders, and she doesn't need to dig into the reasons behind them.

Xia Ning smiled very satisfied, "My name is Xia Ning, Xia of Summer, Lemon of Lemon, uh. Are you literate? ”

Since the two have become a long-term partnership, she should also let the other party know her name, otherwise it would be a little bad to go out and not even know the name of her owner.

"No, it won't." This question made Yang Erni, who had a calm face, shake her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll teach you slowly when I return to the village." Xia Ning said happily that anyway, she would occasionally teach the two sisters and the five girls, and there was no difference between teaching two and teaching three students.

"Thank you, Miss!"

Hearing this, Yang Erni was very excited to express her gratitude, and her whole little face was flushed with joy, she never thought that she would be able to learn literacy one day, this is not everyone has the opportunity to learn, and only the son of the village chief has the ability to go to school in their village.

God still treats her well, so that she meets such a good master.
