I frowned and didn't say anything.
If you want to talk about ghosts and monsters, Zi Wu said that he was in a strange way. Except for being deceived by adults at home when he was a child, I believe that if I pointed to the moon, my ears would be cut off. After being more sensible, I rarely believe these things. Besides, I slept peacefully all night last night, and I didn’t even hear the sound of the wind, let alone crying. If it was really haunted, ghosts wouldn’t they come to scare Caiwei and me?
So, is it really a ghost or a saying?
Looking at Lao Zhu's trembling look, I said gently: "Well, I understand, you get up, the ground is cold."
Old Zhu thanked repeatedly, then he held the chair next to him and stood up slowly.
I asked, "Does anyone know about the haunted thing here?"
"No one knows that the head of the family was not here, so there were no guests here. Only those who brought firewood and rice to the door every month, so the old slave would not talk too much to them. In the past, the old slave's family was here, and later, after the house was not peaceful, they all returned to the countryside, but the old slave told them that they would not let them go out and talk nonsense."
I nodded.
Lao Zhu stood beside him for a while and asked carefully: "Miss, is there anything else?"
I looked up at him, smiled, and shook my head and said, "It's nothing more. You can go down and do it. There is only one thing. After I go and buy those servants, you must be careful when you speak."
"I know, I know. The old slave will definitely not talk nonsense."
I smiled and nodded, waved my hand and let him go down. After sitting for a while, the tea on my hand also became cold. Caiwei came over and was about to refill it for me, but I covered the tea bowl with my back hand: "No need."
"Don't Madam drink tea?"
"No more drinks. Please accompany me out for a walk."
"Go? Where to go?"
"Didn't you say that this mansion is not very popular? Let's add some popularity to this mansion."
When Caiwei heard this, she immediately understood and smiled with joy. She hurriedly packed up the things in the dining room, tidied up, and then followed me out.

Speaking of which, buying maids and servants should be left to the housekeeper, but now I don’t even have a trustworthy housekeeper, so I can only do these things myself. The teeth shop in the capital is much bigger than that of the small Qishan Village. I took Caiwei to walk around for a while, and then bought a cook who was in his forties and looked very strong. Then I bought two more maids. The better after paying for the order, the next day they came to our mansion early in the morning.
However, I looked at the guards for a long time but couldn't settle down.
It’s not that I can’t afford that money, but there are not many people in the family, and there are only two men, Lao Zhu, who is guarding the door, and Lao Xia, the coachman. If the guardian is not in the right way, it will not come to protect the hospital, but will cause trouble.
So, after watching inside and outside for a while, I didn't feel relieved and took Caiwei back.
Along the way, we bought some things. She relied on her youth and strength, and was walking steadily in her arms. But when she was about to get home, she asked me in a low voice: "Madam, why don't you find a housekeeper?"
"housekeeper?"
"Yes, these things should actually be done by the housekeeper. Madam, you shouldn't be involved in those trivial matters anymore."
I smiled faintly: "There are only a few people in the family, what kind of housekeeper do you want?"
"But, there is always someone who is following people."
"Can't you?"
She was stunned and looked up at me.
I looked at her with a smile: "There are too few people in our mansion, and it's a bit cumbersome to find a housekeeper, but you are right. Someone always has to ask about the big and small things at home. Are you willing to give it a try?"
She stayed there, the wind blew the hair on her cheeks and brushed her face without feeling it. After a while, she suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Really? Madam, do you let me be the butler?"
"It's just for you to try it out, watch it. If you really can't do it, I'll think about the housekeeper again."
She blushed and she breathed rapidly, "I, I'll try it. I'll try it."
Seeing her incoherently excited, I only smiled faintly. There were too few people in the family, so there was no need for a housekeeper. Although Caiwei was young, she should still use it if she asked her to help manage the people. I continued, "But there is one thing you remember. We have left Jinling now, and the young master has married Miss Han. You can still call my wife, but don't talk about the young master casually. The capital is different from Jinling, and there are too many people and talkative people. If-"
Before I finished speaking, she looked serious: "Caiwei understands."
She probably experienced too many things a few days ago. When she met the emperor, she also saw the quiet sword light and sword between the emperor and his ministers, which also put some pressure on her. So after leaving the Yang Mansion, I also felt that she was much more cautious.
The two of them walked slowly and arrived at the gate in a short while.
Caiwei held the boxes that were raised high, took two steps to the steps, walked to the gate and shouted, "Old Zhu open the door."
Immediately, the door opened.
Old Zhu walked out of it, and when he saw what Caiwei was in his hand, he hurriedly took it over and turned around and said, "Miss, are you tired? Are you cold?"
I smiled and said, "It's okay."
"The lady is back just in time. There are guests here today and have been waiting in there for a while."
I was stunned: "Guest?"
This house was given to me by Liu Qinghan. When he was in the capital, there were very few customers. After his accident these days, it was even less crowded here. Lao Zhu said that except for delivering firewood and rice, there was no need to open the door for months. Why did I come to visit the guests the next day after I moved in?
I subconsciously frowned: "Is it true that someone is coming from the palace again?"
"No, they came to deliver things in the morning, and Miss Caiwei saw it, but she didn't come after she left."
"Well, what kind of guest is it?"
"You are kind, you are gentle and decent."
Lao Zhu said, and looked at me carefully: "I see that the lady is from an extraordinary background, and your guests must be decent people. The guest looked very polite. Lao Nu originally told him that the lady was going out to do business and might come back, but he insisted on waiting, as if there was something important to tell the lady. Lao Nu was afraid of offending the customer, so he asked him to wait in the side hall first."
“…”
I was silent for a moment, but immediately understood who was coming.
