Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 408 Flower-Filled Pavilion

Yang Chunni fell silent.

"What's wrong with them?" Dongmei, also known as Yang Chunya, asked anxiously. "Did something happen?"

"After you disappeared, Uncle Daguang and the others searched tirelessly, even selling their house, but after three years there was still no news. Aunt Si suddenly fell ill and passed away less than a year later. Uncle Daguang then left the village with Chunsheng, saying that as long as he was alive, he would find you. But now more than ten years have passed, and there is still no news..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chunya burst into tears: "How could this be? They... Father, Mother, Brother... Waaah..."

Pear Blossom, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out to stop her.

Yang Chunya buried her face in Lihua's shoulder and burst into tears, and the others also had tears in their eyes.

Yunyi didn't stop her. It was actually a good thing that she was allowed to cry at this time. She never expected such an opportunity.

“Sister Chunya, your aunt’s grave is right behind the village. Now that you’re back, you can go and offer incense and kowtow to her. She… she’ll be watching over you from heaven. Maybe you’ll see Uncle Daguang and Brother Chunsheng again someday.” Yang Chunni hurriedly comforted Yang Chunya.

After crying, Yang Chunya felt much better: "Thank you, Sister Chunni." She then knelt down in front of Yunyi, "Master, please help Sister Chunni. From now on, my life belongs to you."

Yunyi raised her hand: "Get up. She's already a ghost, and she's on a different path from you. Being able to see her now is enough to fulfill your sisterly bond. As for her matter... I'll handle it."

Yang Chunya didn't say anything more, kowtowed, and stood up.

"Everyone has seen what they were supposed to see, but remember, do what you're supposed to do, but keep your mouths shut, otherwise, ghosts might come looking for you in the middle of the night."

Everyone shuddered, but the next moment they all knelt down and firmly expressed their loyalty.

This master is not only rich and capable, but he also has supernatural powers. Who would dare to have a disloyal heart to such a master? What if one day you open your eyes and see a ghost sitting on your head? Wouldn't that scare you to death?

Yunyi took out a small pendant from her spatial storage: "I won't send you to the underworld for now, but you can't just wander around like this. Come here first." It's made of peach wood and can nourish ghosts.

Yang Chunni happily crawled into the peach wood pendant: "Master, can I follow you from now on? I can help you with things."

"Don't call me Master, just call me Miss. We'll talk about the future later."

Yang Chunni said nothing more.

Yunyi then looked at Hua Niang and the others: "Now that this matter is over, I have seen your training and it is all pretty good. Next, I will provide the scores and scripts. In addition to the pieces you have rehearsed yourself, you can also rehearse the ones I provide. It is not difficult. Half a month is enough time. I have calculated the opening date for our place, which is the 17th of next month. So, before that, you need to practice the programs you are going to perform as much as possible."

"Yes," everyone agreed in unison.

Hua Niang took the script provided by Yun Yi and became immediately engrossed: "Master, this story is amazing, but who should act in it?"

"You should discuss this with Aunt Sangye. She will be in charge of this area from now on. If she can't solve it, then come to me. Also, don't call me 'Master' anymore, especially when there are outsiders. Just call me 'Miss'. You can call me 'Young Miss' normally."

"Yes, Miss."

Next, Hua Niang and Sang Ye began to discuss the script and score.

Yunyi watched for a while, then prepared to leave.

"Young Miss, do we still need to change the girls' names?"

"how?"

"Most of them are orphans and don't even know their own surnames. How many do? They were sold by their parents and have lost all ties with their families. If they were to have their original names restored..."

"So what's everyone's opinion? Anyway, let's not use names like pear blossom and apricot blossom anymore. After all, if you go to the spring breeze and call out 'Spring Peach,' I reckon four or five people will respond."

Hua Niang chuckled: "But none of us know how to name them. Why don't you give them new names, Miss?"

“That works.” Yunyi nodded. “Give me their birth dates and times, and I’ll name them accordingly.”

“My dear young lady, many of them are orphans and don’t even know when they were born. I’m just guessing their age. Only Dongmei knows her real name now.”

"Alright then." Yunyi sighed, "Does anyone want to have a surname?" A person is only complete if they have a surname and a given name.

Everyone shook their heads.

"So, would you like to take Hua Niang's surname or Yun's surname?"

"Young Miss, isn't your surname Fang?"

"I don't want to use the surname Fang anymore. I'll use the surname Yun for my own people."

"We take the surname Yun, just like the young lady."

So Yunyi gave them all new names, writing down seventeen names on a piece of paper. They could choose their own names.

Dongmei's name is Yang Chunya, but Yunyi suggested that she be called Chunya, the name of sprouting, Yang Chunya, which she was very happy to agree with.

Next, everyone will renew their contracts. From then on, everyone will have their own names, and they will begin to get to know each other's new names.

"Young Miss, what about me?" Hua Niang looked at Yun Yi with one last hopeful look.

"Don't you have a name?"

"My surname is Hua, and my mother originally named me Hua Da Hua."

Cough cough! Yunyi choked on her own saliva.

Hua Niang blushed: "This name is so down-to-earth."

"Can you give me one too?"

"Hua...Hua Manlou? Hua Xiren? Hua Mulan?" Yun Yi's mind wandered.

"Miss, you're really teasing me. Who is Mulan? She's a heroine. How could I possibly be called that?"

Have you heard the story of Mulan?

I've heard it in teahouses.

"Hehe." Yun Yi chuckled dryly twice.

“I think the name ‘Flower-Filled Pavilion’ is quite good.” Hua Niang stroked her chin. “Look, my pavilion is full of beautiful flowers, the whole floor is full of them. From now on, I will call it ‘Flower-Filled Pavilion’.”

Yunyi's lips twitched: "If you like it, that's fine." I wonder if Master Gu Long will accuse her of copyright infringement if he finds out.

"I'll definitely like it." Hua Niang, no, from now on she'll be Hua Manlou, happily renewed her contract, and then took the list to get to know the beauties one by one.

After watching for a while, Yunyi left Chunfengli with Yunlu. However, instead of returning to the Marquis's residence, they went to Taotielou for lunch.

"Young Miss, why are you here?" Yunlu asked, somewhat puzzled. "I heard that Taotie Restaurant's business has been bad lately. The head chef left, and the food isn't good anymore."

"I've heard about it too, so I came to see just how bad it really is," Yunyi said as she went inside.
