Xiao Jingchi realized it was a woman after listening to what Yanlu said.

He also looked at the female ghost in red following the woman. The female ghost was startled and flew over in an instant, "Can you see me?"

Su Qingwan and Xiao Jingchi tacitly ignored the female ghost. The He ghost, who had been hiding under the carriage to avoid the sun, came out.

He patted the ghost girl's shoulder and said, "Sister, listen to me and don't interfere with their work, or you will be in trouble."

The female ghost turned her head and glanced at He Gui, "Can they see us?"

He Guishuang opened his mouth and shrugged, "Not only can I see it, but I am also connected to... the one underground is a related household."

Su Qingwan was annoyed by the noise and glared at the ghost. He Gui shut up and pulled the female ghost to the corner of the wall.

The woman got out of the carriage and sat hunched in the corner. The carriage sent by the Zhao family was too eye-catching and was not suitable for the time being, so Su Qingwan went out and rented a smaller one.

The carriage seemed a bit crowded with three people.

"Tell me about it." Su Qingwan poured the woman a glass of water.

The woman took the cup and drank it down with a gulp. She wiped the corners of her mouth, took out a piece of rag from her pocket and opened it, "This is the thirty thousand taels of silver you gave me."

Su Qingwan took the banknote and counted it. "Nothing has been touched?"

The woman shook her head.

"Didn't you get to spend 100 taels? Where did you take these banknotes?"

"I was afraid that the children might accidentally let the secret slip and be watched, so I bought them some cakes with the few coins I had collected before, and then I took the banknotes and went out to hide."

"If they encounter robbers who want to rob them, they will not be implicated."

Su Qingwan nodded, and Xiao Jingchi understood what was going on from their conversation and what had just happened.

"So you hid in the cemetery?"

The woman nodded. "There is a cemetery not far from the east city. It is said to be very strange. Some people often hear ghosts crying, so few people dare to go there. So I took two cakes and stayed in the cemetery."

"I even dug a hole in a grave that looked relatively new and hid inside it. If anyone came by, I would pretend to be a ghost and scare them."

Su Qingwan stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, smiling slightly and said, "You have the right idea."

It seems that he ran all the way here because his deadline had come.

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

The woman shook her head. "Ghosts are not as scary as people."

Su Qingwan thought to herself: This is what I want, a brave boy. I hope I can be as brave as this even if I really see a ghost in the future.

"Okay, now that you're here, come back with me." After a pause, she said, "I remember you don't have a name, so I'll call you Xing'er from now on."

Su Qingwan said as she looked at the pair of almond-shaped eyes beneath the woman's messy hair.

The woman knelt down with a thump, "Thank you, Miss, but... after I leave, what about the kids..."

"I just asked them to come with me, but they were all hard to fool, and after a long time of coaxing, no one came with me. It's a good opportunity for you to go and talk to them."

"I will go now, because I taught them not to follow anyone, so..."

Xing Er knew very well that she had already begun to call herself a slave.

Having said that, he quickly got off the carriage and ran into the dilapidated temple. After a while, he came over with a group of children.

Su Qingwan took out some change and gave it to Xing'er, "Go and rent a bigger carriage."

There was no way the two ghosts could not summon. The person in front of her was the prince favored by the emperor. She would definitely not be able to summon him. She was too lazy to do it, so Xing'er had to work hard.

Xing'er was very quick and she rented the carriage in just half an hour.

"Why are there no horses?"

"It costs extra to rent a horse, but I can do it myself."

Su Qingwan nodded. Good, he knew how to save money for her.

Then they called a group of children to get on the carriage, and Su Qingwan told the carriage an address.

Xing Er followed behind in another carriage, with two ghosts on each carriage roof.

"Don't tell me that this city is much more lively than the suburbs." said the female ghost in red.

"That's right." He Guizi squinted his eyes and crossed his legs.

Soon the carriage stopped at a mansion, which was not far from the city but also quiet.

Su Qingwan got off the carriage, took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.

There are rockery, a lake and several lawns in the yard. There is a row of rooms in front. Walk back and pass through the small arched door on the left.

The two rows on the left and right are all rooms of the same size. The sheets and quilts in each room are brand new. At the innermost is a relatively large kitchen, which is also fully equipped.

"This Zhao Yu is quite quick at doing things." Su Qingwan looked around and turned to Xing'er and said, "They will live here in the future. I will hire a cook and a martial arts teacher."

"You stay with me and come to see them every once in a while. Tomorrow I will have someone bring some herbs so that they can learn how to make medicine. If they do well, they will get paid.

Even if they don’t do well, they still have food to eat, but they are only raised here until they are six years old. After six, they need to go out and make a living on their own. Before that, they can learn whatever they want. ”

"In the future, if you encounter beggars, adults or children, you can let them work here if they are willing. They will all be paid."

"Children under six can get food and lodging, and so can seniors over five. But for the middle-aged, if they want food and lodging, it will be deducted from their own pocket money."

This move is also to prevent some lazy people from just eating and waiting to die. Such people do not deserve sympathy.

Furthermore, in ancient times, children aged two or three were no longer considered children, and raising them until they were six was considered very lenient.

"Oh, by the way, if you meet children from poor families who don't have money to study in the future, you can come over."

Su Qing explained everything in detail. Xiao Jingchi listened to these words and suddenly felt that those so-called parents of the people and officials were not as good as a woman...

Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty was impoverished by the war in recent years, the real poor were the people, the emperor and some rare incorruptible officials.

Ministry officials are still rich.

The seven children following behind were all very excited. It turned out that what the big sister said was true and she did not lie to us.

Xing Er knelt down with a plop, "I thank you on their behalf, Miss."

After seeing this, a group of children also knelt down like Xing Er, "Thank you, Miss."

"All of you, get up. Instead of kneeling to me, you should learn skills so that you can serve me in the future."

Su Qingwan said this casually because she didn't want them to look like idle people.

However, she never imagined that her unintentional action would bear fruit. Later, several of these little kids would become influential figures who only obeyed her orders.

What she didn't expect was that the maid Xing'er picked up by Sui 꿛 had an even more amazing background.

After making arrangements for these future bigwigs, Su Qingwan took Xing'er out.
