Before she realized it, the day of the Zhou family's relocation arrived. On the eve of her departure, Zhulan carefully wandered through the estate that had been her home for several years, a place brimming with too many memories.
Upon arriving at the new residence, Zhulan sat by the window, watching the maids and old servants busily working both inside and out, her fingertips absent-mindedly toying with the flowers in the vase. She felt somewhat uneasy settling into a new place!
The old estate still had people looking after it. Zhulan looked at the young maids outside; these were newly purchased servants. The new estate was too large, so after the new year, they bought a batch of servants.
Zhulan felt she was really getting old; she now particularly enjoyed watching young girls—previously, she rarely bought maids around eight or nine years old, but this time she bought quite a few.
