Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Lu Xunhuan stayed in the Jingshifang for a while, and then went to the Queen's Chuxiu Palace for a while.

By the time he returned to the Prime Minister's residence in a carriage under Yun Zhongzi's protection, it was already most of the afternoon.

Li Susu came to report: "Report to the Prime Minister, the maids and servants have been recruited."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, efficient, then..."

Li Susu nodded slightly: "They are all here. Does the Prime Minister want to see them?"

Lu Xunhuan asked in a low voice: "Name."

Li Susu took two steps forward and whispered, "They have each been assigned as stewards in the mansion, which will make it easier for them to move around. The man is from the Immortal Friends Association, his name is Zeng Duo, and the woman is from the Shenlong Pavilion, her name is Meng Tian."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Alright, let them come and see their true selves. We need to establish the rules of the mansion. The female manager will come first."

Li Susu saluted: "Okay."

After a while, a very pretty woman, dressed in the clothes of a maid in the mansion, entered Lu Xunhuan's study.

She bowed politely, "This servant greets His Excellency the Prime Minister."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Close the door and sit down."

The woman turned around, closed the study door, then turned around and sat down at the table.

This woman is Meng Tian, ​​the younger sister of Meng Tianfang, the head of the Baocheng branch of Shenlong Pavilion.

Lu Xun Huan asked, "After reading your brother's letter, do you have any questions for me?"

Meng Tian said, "To be honest, after reading the letter, I found it a little hard to believe, because the Pavilion Master never told us that there was a special envoy."

Lu Xun Huan asked again: "If you don't believe it, then why are you here again?"

Meng Tian said, "Whether you believe it or not, you have to come and see, right? To see if the special envoy is a man of many talents."

Lu Xun Huan smiled: "So, now that you've seen it, what do you think?"

Meng Tian placed her elbows on the table, supporting her cheeks with her hands. "I didn't expect the special envoy to be so handsome. I'm already dizzy. So I'll just believe what my brother says."

Lu Xun Huan turned around, took a book from the bookshelf, and handed it to her: "Tell me about the clues."

Meng Tian took the book and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving me a book?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "You are now the headmistress of the Prime Minister's residence, in charge of the dozens of maids. I called you here to set up some rules for you. They are all written here. Take them back and let everyone study them."

Meng Tiantian opened it and took a look: "Don't hang clothes randomly..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "This is the Prime Minister's residence. Most of the visitors are usually ministers from the imperial court. It's inappropriate to have your underwear hanging out everywhere with colorful flags flying."

"Pfft" sound.

Meng Tian laughed out loud, revealing two dimples on her round face.

Because everyone did hang their underwear outside to dry in the sun today, I'm sure the Prime Minister saw it when he returned home.

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, with plenty of places to dry in the sun. Even if you want to dry it in the sun, you have to hang it out of sight from guests."

He took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, follow the rules and take your time to look at it. Report any clues."

Meng Tian rolled up the book and said, "Rumor has it that forty years ago, two huge balls of fire suddenly appeared in the sky above Yingzhou City, accompanied by a loud rumbling noise."

"Not long after, the two balls of fire fell into the palace and crashed to the ground. At that time, the entire Yingzhou City was like an earthquake."

"Then, the people in the city saw smoke rising from the palace."

"But after a while, the smoke cleared and the fire was put out."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Do you know where the two fireballs landed in the palace?"

Meng Tian replied, "It is said that a ball of fire fell into Dexiu Palace, smashing the kitchen of Consort De and starting a huge fire. The thick smoke that the people in the city saw was coming from Dexiu Palace."

Lu Xunhuan nodded slightly: "There's another one?"

Meng Tian said, "Another ball fell into the Jingming Lake in the palace. It is said that the lake rolled up huge waves several feet high, destroying many flowers, plants and trees, and even knocking down part of the wall."

Lu Xunhuan asked again: "And then?"

Meng Tian said, "It is said that His Majesty later ordered the Imperial Guards to dig for what had fallen into Dexiu Palace. It was on land, so it was easier to dig. The Imperial Guards dug up a piece of bone, which was said to be a dragon bone."

"As for what fell into Jingming Lake, as the water level rose again, it became difficult to dig it out. It would be very laborious to drain the lake, so Your Majesty did not allow it to be touched."

Lu Xun Huan thought for a moment: "What about the piece we dug out? Do you know where to put it?"

Meng Tian shook her head. "I don't know. Dragon bones are too sensitive. We can't ask openly about them. If we want to know any clues, we have to try every possible way. This is all I know."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, I understand. Normally, it's fine. Just do your job properly and take care of everyone. If there's anything, I'll always find you. Go ahead and ask the male manager to come over."

Meng Tian moved her buttocks but didn't stand up immediately. She whispered, "Special Envoy, who is the male supervisor?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "I'll find your husband for you. Do you want one?"

Meng Tian blushed: "Special Envoy, don't joke. If I were to marry, I would marry someone like you. Why would I marry an old man?"

Lu Xunhuan hadn't thought about Zeng Duo's age beforehand.

However, even if Zeng Duo was a middle-aged man, there would be nothing strange about it.

Isn’t Qiao Zheng, the president of the Zhongzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association, also a middle-aged man?

He smiled and said, "I've never met him, so I don't know his age. In that case, forget it. By the way, from now on, all the tea used in this government will be purchased from Baoshang Tea House, especially the machine tea, which is a must."

Meng Tian said: "Machine tea is expensive, are you sure?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Also, from now on, whether in public or behind others, call me Prime Minister, not Special Envoy."

Meng Tian nodded: "I understand, Prime Minister, the price of machine tea is very high."

Lu Xun Huan pretended to be annoyed and said, "Girl, you must be sloppy in your investigation work. Bao Shang Tea House is run by someone from Baocheng. The owner is my brother from the same clan, Lu Pan. Have you figured it out?"

Meng Tian opened her eyes wide: "So that's how it is. I understand. Okay, I'm leaving."

She left as soon as she said she would, in a hurry, just stood up and left.

After Meng Tian left, a middle-aged man came after a while.

Lu Xunhuan gestured, "Close the door, sit down."

The middle-aged man was Zeng Duo, who was probably close to fifty years old and had a short beard on his chin.

After closing the door, he sat down across from Lu Xunhuan and said, "The Prime Minister sent Miss Li to see me. He said he wanted to invite me to the Prime Minister's residence to be the chief steward."

"Although I am very confused, since the Prime Minister has invited me, I have come anyway. However, please explain the reason. If there is no special reason, please forgive me for not being able to serve as the chief steward."

Lu Xunhuan took out the golden hoop from his arms and peeled off the cloth wrapping layer by layer, revealing its golden essence.

"Would it be strange for me to ask you to come?"

I had seen the golden hoop many times before and was shocked.

He hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of the desk: "Young Master..."

Lu Xun Huan ordered, "Stand up, and remember, never utter the words 'Young Master' at any time from now on. In public or in private, I am the Prime Minister, and you are the Chief Steward of my mansion. Do you understand?"

Zeng Duo stood up, lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Be a good steward. When something happens, I will naturally give you tasks. Go ahead."
