Qingyin and Qingbao looked at the handful of golden melon seeds in their hands and felt their backs straighten up.

If this continues, how rich will they be?

Seeing them like this, Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Why, you're so absorbed in watching, are you thinking about when you can save enough money to redeem yourself?"

She was just teasing the two maids, but if they wanted to leave the reformed class, Lu Zhaoling would naturally not object.

But her words frightened Qingyin and Qingbao so much that they almost wanted to kneel down.

"Miss, please don't chase us away, we want to follow you forever!"

"Yes, Miss, when we are older, we can still help take care of the young master and young lady. We will definitely not be useless. Please don't abandon us."

Although they have been with Lu Zhaoling for a short time, they are happier and more relaxed than they were in the past decade.

They have already discussed it privately that they must take good care of the young lady, follow her, try their best to be useful, and never leave!

"Okay, don't be so nervous. I was just joking with you. However, if one day you want to start your own business or get married, you can tell me directly. If you really want to get married, I can also help you check and see the appearance of your future husband."

Lu Zhaoling had only briefly looked at the faces of the two maids when she first took over, and had not looked at them again since then.

As for the people around her, she generally doesn't stare at them. Some people would be very taboo about it and feel that they have no privacy in front of her.

Moreover, it is very tiring to tell fortunes and predict good or bad luck for people all the time.

"I don't want to get married. I just want to follow the young lady." Qingbao said.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, wishing the young lady wouldn't rush them away.

Lu Zhaoling smiled and said nothing more.

"Sun Ping is not stingy. I will draw a few more amulets later. Qingyin, you can go there tomorrow and give one to each of their families."

"Yes."

"I didn't go to the new house today, so I can only go there tomorrow."

Lu Zhaoling was still thinking that the house should be given a name. Lu House was too simple. It had the same surname as Lu Ming, and it would be a disadvantage if they got their family's attention in the future.

That locust tree already has some spiritual energy, so she naturally wouldn't cut it down, otherwise why would it be called the Locust Garden?

It doesn't seem to work either.

Lu Zhaoling calculated and decided that this name would not conflict with her fate, so she decided on it.

That night, Lu Ming and his wife dug the ground for half the night and almost couldn't get up the next day.

Lu Zhaoling went out early.

When passing by a big restaurant, she asked Qingyin to go in and see if there was any news from Beijing today.

It actually exists.

When Qingyin came out with a copy of the Jingwen newspaper, Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but sigh, "This has been made into a daily newspaper."

He works very hard.

"Miss, see what's new written on it." Qingbao was also very curious.

When Lu Zhaoling opened the Beijing News, a headline with a very domineering momentum caught her eye.

There was a strange fog in Firefly Mountain and the girl disappeared.

What does this say?

Lu Zhaoling immediately thought of Miss Qiu from yesterday.

She asked Qingyin Qingbao, "Where is Yingshan?"

"Miss, Yingshan is not far from the capital. If the carriage is fast, it will only take a day and a half to get there."

Qingyin said, "What Miss Qiu's maid mentioned yesterday should be Yingshan, right? Calculating the time, we are almost there."

Lu Zhaoling read the content above.

It did not directly mention Miss Qiu, but wrote about a heavy fog in Yingshan ten years ago. During that fog, a family went to Beijing to visit relatives, and two teenage girls in the family were lost in the fog. At that time, the family reported it to the authorities and even spent their own money to hire people to look for them. However, twenty or thirty people searched for three days and three nights, but still couldn't find anyone.

Since then, no one dared to enter Firefly Mountain casually, and the case remains an unsolved case to this day.

The Beijing News reported this incident in the same way as a suspense story. It took up quite a long space and the atmosphere created between the lines was somewhat terrifying.

In addition to this, a larger space was used to draw a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, with small words written below it: Firefly Mountain.

Qingyin came over to take a look and said, "Miss, this painting is of Yingshan Mountain. Look at this path that winds through the valley. This is the direction that people from the west city take the shortcut when they come to the capital."

"Is the official road far from Yingshan?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"It's a bit far, so they took a shortcut." Qingyin said.

"I don't know if Miss Qiu has been found." Lu Zhaoling sighed.

Qingyin thought for a moment and said, "The prince should send someone to help."

"Ah."

Lu Zhaoling did not dwell on this matter too much. Instead, the painting of Firefly Mountain in the Jingwen News was really well done. This small painting alone was valuable.

In addition to this incident, it also wrote about the Sixth Princess suddenly falling ill and Princess Changning entering the palace to accompany her. Also, the Second Prince's engagement with the eldest daughter of the Lu family has not been responded to by the palace so far, which has raised a small suspense for everyone.

The Lu family is of such a low status, will the royal family really approve of this marriage?

This was brought up in just a few lines by the Beijing News, and everyone was discussing it in their spare time after dinner.

Lu Zhaoling scanned it and put away the Jingwen newspaper. She took Qingyin and the others to find a place to make a door plaque and selected a piece of wood to make a new door plaque.

"Miss, do you want the prince to write an inscription for you?" Qing Bao asked curiously after seeing Lu Zhaoling had chosen the wood.

Lu Zhaoling was surprised. "Why should I ask him to write the inscription? It's my own house, I can write it myself."

Her handwriting is not ugly.

Lu Zhaoling took out the words he had written last night.

The host who entertained her opened it and took a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a nice handwriting!"

Sophora japonica garden.

These two characters are written with great interest and one can tell that the writing is powerful.

"Please speed up the production."

Lu Zhaoling wanted to replace the door plaque as soon as possible so that it would look like her own home.

"Don't worry, Miss. Three days will be enough."

After leaving the carpentry workshop, Lu Zhaoling went to the dental office again.

The house cannot be left unattended.

Following the local customs, she also bought a middle-aged couple and settled them in Huaiyuan first.

Coincidentally, this middle-aged couple actually recognized Lu Zhaoling.

A few days ago, when Lu Zhaoling went to the alley where Hu Dali lived, this couple also rented there. When Lu Zhaoling gave them copper coins, they also took them.

It's just that this couple has bad luck.

They were very unlucky. Their previous master wanted to move to the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't want to go. The master thought they were ungrateful and set up a trap to turn them from long-term helpers into slaves, and then sold them to a pawnbroker.

An old acquaintance of the neighborhood also wanted to squeeze into the house they rented, and squeezed them out.

When Lu Zhaoling saw them, the couple looked very sad.

"You were just helpers before, why did you suddenly agree to sign a contract to sell your bodies?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
