Lin Luoyao said, "Raise your head." ”

Then the woman lifted up her head with her daughter.

Lin Luoyao asked in a secret voice, "How is my sister-in-law, is there anything unusual about her appearance?"

Qiu Yuling replied: "No, judging from her complexion, it is indeed in the period of nursing. ”

Lin Luoyao asked, "You are the housekeeper?"

The woman nodded and said, "If you go back to Miss, the slave maid is exactly." ”

Lin Luoyao said: "What young lady, this long braid is your young lady." Then he pushed Nangong Li towards Lou Yun and said, "This is Madame." I am the second lady. ”

Lou Yun was a little surprised, and Nangong Li felt a little embarrassed.

Madame and the little girl met Miss, Madame, and Second Lady in turn.

The child was a little scared when she saw the living, especially when she saw Lin Luoyao's fierce appearance, she hid behind her mother, and there were already tears in her eyes. He pursed his lips and looked at them in fear.

Lou Yun looked at the little girl's appearance, and he was a little distressed, because he had seen this look, and Qiu Yuling had this look before.

Lin Luoyao asked, "How long have you been here?"

The woman replied, "Back to the second lady, the slave and maid have been here since the completion of this place." It's been more than half a year since I came here. ”

Lin Luoyao continued to ask, "Who sent you?"

The woman replied, "The slave was bought by Mr. Fang for the master. ”

Lin Luoyao frowned, and she asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

The woman replied, "There are only slaves and maidservants and two children left in the house." After my father-in-law died, my father-in-law had a new love and kicked me and my children out of the house. In order to feed their children, slaves and maids had to sell themselves into slavery. Mr. Fang was merciful and bought the slave maid. The slave and the maid came here with everyone. ”

Lin Luoyao noticed a key word, that is, everyone, Lin Luoyao asked, "So you are here with these servants?"

The woman kept her head down and replied, "Exactly." Mr. Fang bought us and sent them all here. ”

Lin Luoyao asked, "Is this house also built by that Mr. Fang?"

The woman said, "No, Mr. Fang just asked us to come here and wait for the young lady and the old man to come back." It seems to have been rebuilt by the imperial court. ”

The woman didn't lie, it was indeed built by the imperial court, but the silver was not from the imperial court.

The original Qiu family did not experience any fire, but was demolished by those people.

They were looking for something, looking for the treasures of the Qiu family, the Peacock Feather, the Peacock Feather, and the map of the Peacock Feather, as well as the entrance to the Bird Tomb.

This is the main reason why the imperial court has been reluctant to return Peacock Villa.

It's because those people are digging three feet into the ground of the Qiu family in the name of rebuilding a new house. came to find the Qiu family's Peacock Feather Atlas, and more importantly, it was the entrance to the Bird Tomb.

Although the Bird Tomb is located in the back mountain of Peacock Villa, it is blocked by a whole boulder, and it cannot be blown up even if it is blown up with gunpowder.

And there is no such thing as a mechanism to open the door there in Queling, the Qiu family has been on the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, although it is good at poison, but the distant ancestors are good at it.

The one who founded Peacock Villa was a capable person who thought he was proficient in mechanical arts, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he once assisted Jie Du to make Wen Tao. Seventeen tombs of the Tang Emperor were excavated, among which the Zhaoling Tomb was the most difficult to break.

But in the end, he regretted that he failed to excavate the Qianling Tomb and hated it for life.

And this Bird Tomb is a collection of mechanical techniques, taking the essence of the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum design. It is simply impossible to break through with external forces.

Therefore, Bird Tomb is the strongest fortress of Peacock Villa. Everyone was curious about what was inside the Bird's Nest.

In addition to the entrance, there was another thing they were looking for, and that was the opening direction of the Queling Mechanism. Although they knew that the owner's autumn water card was needed to open the mechanism of the Bird's Tomb, if they knew this direction, it was enough to capture the autumn water card.

But these people turned Peacock Villa upside down and found nothing, except for some unimportant places, the entire villa was basically searched by them.

But nothing was found.

In order to hide people's eyes, these people bribed the local officials to do it, and then asked the feng shui master to measure the feng shui of the Qiu family to determine the yin and yang. then spent a huge amount of money to build a new mountain villa for the Qiu family, in order not to make others suspicious.

Even the ancestral grave of the Qiu family, these people have also looked for it.

The graves of generations of the Qiu family have been thrown aside. Except for some burial goods, they still found nothing, so they found another excellent feng shui place around Peacock Villa after careful survey and mapping on the reason of poor feng shui, and reburied the bones of the dug out.

After that, those people pooled the money to rebuild Peacock Villa.

These people are the people of the Celestial Rites.

Although the Tianying Society is a whole above the name, it is fighting openly and secretly behind the scenes, and the three largest factions are Tianying Hall of Tianyu Gongzi and Qinglong Hall of Fang Longxiao, as well as Wu Jianzhang's Sihai Hall.

Tianyingtang is the descendant of Tianyu Gongzi at the beginning of its establishment, and there are four major helmsmen of ink and smoke, each holding one side.

Qinglong Hall is the old department of the Star Sect led by Fang Longxiao.

Only Wu Jianzhang's Sihaitang is the weakest, and he is also the most eloquent in the official government.

He planned to demolish the original Peacock Villa and rebuild it, and then sent these maids and servants in the name of Fang Longxiao.

Even if someone is suspicious in the future, this matter will not be found on him.

After all, the leader of the Fang Alliance is a figure who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon. No one will ever go and ask him in person.

Lin Luoyao used the name of Murong Zheng to trap those grain merchants this time, and Wu Jianzhang also rebuilt Peacock Villa in the name of Fang Longxiao.

But this time nothing was found, and Wu Jianzhang did not keep any other items in Peacock Villa, and after the new village was built, he put all of them back in Peacock Villa, and then sent these servants here to guard and clean them day and night.

Compared with the previous Peacock Villa, Wu Jianzhang also rebuilt the ancestral hall of the Qiu family for Lou Yun, and all the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Qiu family were in it, and the incense continued day and night. In order to make up for the fear in his heart for his grave stealing.

Lin Luoyao thought for a moment and then asked, "Why are you a housekeeper and not someone else?"

The woman replied, "This is because the slave and maid have experience in running the house, so they have been appointed as stewards." The slave and maid were in charge of the family before they were expelled from the house. But since her husband made a fortune and found a new love, he drove out the slave and maid. ”

Lin Luoyao asked, "Then your previous life was not bad?"

The woman nodded and said, "Mrs. Hui is exact, the slave maid has helped the prime minister run a small business for several years. There is some experience. ”

Lin Luoyao nodded silently and said, "Okay, you will continue to be your housekeeper, and all the big and small matters of Peacock Villa will be handled by you." ”
