The laundry girls, upon hearing that it was twenty taels of silver, were so excited that they immediately kowtowed in thanks.
Lin Yi hurriedly helped them up, politely saying, "Ladies, there's no need to be so courteous. The newly opened Jade Pavilion requires women with your elegant demeanor to grace the establishment."
"Magistrate Sun, please take them back for training later. You all should leave your names with Magistrate Sun."
When it came to names, the laundry girls all fell silent, their expressions becoming anxious.
"Inspector, we don't have names."
Originally, in the temple, the old monk only gave them numbers for their names, and they used those numbers after leaving.
One by one, girls as beautiful as flowers and as refined as jade, yet they didn't even have names; Lin Yi felt truly sorry for them, but it also presented the opportunity to name them on the spot.
