Chapter 67 Ruzhou
"Madam, did you remember something?"
"No, it's okay." Chang Xixi wanted to say, it wasn't that she wanted to cry, but that this body was reminded of the past. She had never thought that she would be able to return one day. She had thought that she would live out her life in Wanfu Village alone. But she burst into laughter again. That night, they found an inn to stay.
The scene of them getting off the car was seen by a servant, who pulled the horse back to Zhou's house.
Zhou Mansion.
Seeing the servant kneeling outside the door, as if he wanted to say something, the eldest lady calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
"If I were to reply, it's... Miss Chang who's here. She said she's accompanying her family to the capital. She's just passing through here." The servant finished his report and was about to leave when the eldest lady stopped him. "But have you seen clearly who she is? Is it really Miss Chang? As for the family, the Chang family, none of them have the talent for studying."
The servant then said out loud what he had not finished saying.
The eldest lady pondered and said, "Let's talk about it in a few days! Let's make a decision after the master comes back. It's been a year, and the child has been gone for a year. I don't know how he is doing now. It would be a lie to say that I don't miss him. After all, he was raised by my side for all those years, and I have feelings for him."
Besides, Chang Xixi is not unlikable, on the contrary, she is even more likable, so the eldest lady asked a few more questions.
Over the years, I have raised her as my own daughter, how could I not have feelings for her!
But what people say is scary!
She couldn't make the decisions about the Zhou family.
Before she could return home, Zhou Zhiwei learned that the woman with whom she had exchanged identities had come to Ruzhou City. She wanted to see her so much that she asked her servants to send an invitation.
Revisiting the old place, Chang Xixi didn't want to go to Kyoto for the time being. She just wanted to stay here for a few more days to relieve the homesickness she had felt for the past year. Besides, it was only a morning's walk from here to Kyoto, and it would only take two hours by carriage.
Gu Rongyu saw what she was thinking and just stayed.
It was not good to live in the inn all the time, so he asked Li Da to go out and have a look, and see if there was a small courtyard where he could buy three or four rooms, which would be just the right place to stay, and he would not be homeless or jobless.
Thinking of this, I stayed in the inn that day. After lunch, I found two nice small courtyards.
"Husband, what do you think of this? There is a well, three side rooms, and a water pavilion here. It's quite nice. There are also two servant rooms and a kitchen at the back door." Chang Xixi looked around the entire yard and felt that it was very nice and was very satisfied.
In addition, it is too far from the city. It is very big, with a four-story house that can accommodate four or five people.
It’s small here, but it looks cozy!
"This place is very good, my lady, it's up to you. I can live anywhere as long as you are here."
When Chang Xixi heard this, her face turned red. She never thought her husband could say such words before, but now she felt it was really good.
The documents and contracts were signed, and Chang Xixi's name was written on them. This was Gu Rongyu's request. He felt that he didn't like to get involved in these matters, so it would be better to have everything written in her name. If one day something happened to him, he could come back and continue to live off her.
After the house was purchased, Chang Xixi didn't think about hiring anyone to clean it, and instead asked everyone to do it together.
Qingnan, with a look of resentment on his face, picked up the broom now covered in spiderwebs and began to clean up again. Li Da and Ren Wen had never done anything like this before! They could only watch helplessly, standing aside like wooden figures. Chang Xixi saw that this yard was a circle larger than Wanfu Village. It would take her three or four days to clean it herself. It was not worth it.
Gu Rongyu simply found a place to sit down, took out a book and pretended to read it.
He doesn't know these things either.
The grown men each had their own thoughts, and no one suggested buying a maid.
Qingnan couldn't help it and threw the broom on the ground. The noise naturally alarmed Chang Xixi. She looked back and saw that she was holding a rag in her hand, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a piece of her white and tender arm. She was completely unaware that there was another man here.
"My wife."
Chang Xixi had just had a good talk with Qingnan, so when she heard Gu Rongyu call her "wife", her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little sweet. "What's wrong, my husband? I'm afraid you're not used to this place. It will be clean once it's cleaned up. Are you thirsty?"
Seeing that she didn't feel anything was wrong with her, Gu Rongyu stood up, put her sleeves down, and whispered in her ear.
"How can you expose your arms when there are men around?"
"ah?"
Chang Xixi's face turned red again, this time out of embarrassment.
No wonder Li Da and Ren Wen both had their backs to her. Even Qing Nan wouldn't even look at her. "I lost my composure. My husband is jealous."
"My lady is used to being unconcerned with trivial matters, and my husband does not blame you."
Chang Xixi felt embarrassed after hearing these sweet words.
She chuckled, took Gu Rongyu's hand and sat down, "It's okay, I'll buy two maids tomorrow. It's really not appropriate for me to do this now. I'll find an old maid to cook, and from now on! I'll accompany my husband to review his studies and add ink."
"Very good."
Oh my God!
How could her free-earned husband be so soft and cute? He even spoke sweet nothings to her. It was so, so cute. She had to find an opportunity to eat him up.
Chang Xixi took Gu Rongyu's hand and touched it, thinking that it was worth taking advantage of him.
From then on, she stopped cleaning up after herself. The next day, she found the human traffickers, and they actually found two children under the age of fifteen. Looking at their innocent faces, Chang Xixi began to lecture them, "Once you enter my house, you are mine from now on. I will beat and scold you if you want, okay?"
"yes."
"I've signed your indentures. If you leave in the future, just let me know. At home, I hate gossipers and people who don't do anything. I want people who are well-behaved and obedient."
"yes."
Every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws. After Chang Xixi admonished them, she asked them to clean the room and come back to check it the next day. They would stay in this mansion tonight, and someone would naturally come to deliver meals in the evening.
Li Da also knew that Chang Xixi wanted a cook, so he found one nearby.
The old woman looked kind, but Chang Xixi only met her once and then asked her to leave.
How could a poor family afford a gold bracelet? She must be blind. With the money, she could have paid back the silver and returned to her hometown to buy some land and collect rent. Why did she insist on coming out to work as a servant? It's a joke.
Chang Xixi asked Li Da to look for him again. If that didn't work, she would ask him to learn how to cook.
Li Dake couldn't do this job, but he could cook. He was just afraid that Chang Xixi wouldn't dare eat it. If she died of poison, he wouldn't care.
Not long after, the cook came. She was not kind-looking, but had a cold face and spoke little.
