Thus, the arrangements were made like this: Manbao handed the four Xi Cao to the Fifth Sister-in-law for her to arrange, Xi Cong was given to Zhou Lijun for teaching, and the other five were sent to Old Madam Liu.
Old Madam Liu paused for a moment before smilingly accepting them. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Shan and the others returned from outside with lively chatter, and Manbao immediately greeted them and ran out to find them.
Old Madam Liu sighed, thought for a while, and still sent Xi Bing and Xi Hua to attend to Manbao, while calling the two little girls Wu Yue and Jiu Lan from Manbao's room, saying, "From now on, the four of you will take care of Miss Man together. How could there be a young lady outside without two or three maids by her side? Your Miss Man is still doing official work outside, only becoming busier, so the matters within this house will only increase, not decrease."
