In Tanglin City, there are two urban districts, namely the new city and the old city.

Ten years ago, the old city was the center of Tanglin City, but since the relocation of the Tanglin City Hall to the north, the economic center of gravity of the whole city has also shifted to the north, thus establishing the new city center, and since then, the new city has become the center of Tanglin City.

The world is changing, the vicissitudes of life, such things are happening all the time in this world.

Ten years later, the old town is no longer prosperous, and there are low old buildings everywhere, and the walls of the buildings have left mottled traces of time, just like the old man in the twilight.

And here, there is a similar family, that is, one of the four famous families in Tanglin, the century-old family Lan family.

More than ten years ago, the former Lan family, in the center of this old city, was the most powerful family in Tanglin City.

At that time, even the Cha family, which was also a century-old family, could not compete with it, and the Ye family and the Zhao family were not even able to show their heads at that time.

It's a pity, maybe it really confirms the old saying that the Lan family's status in Tanglin City plummeted in that year!

First of all, it was the relocation of the municipal government, and the Lan family was not unintentional to participate in the construction of the new urban area, on the contrary, the Lan family was also willing to invest a lot of money and materials to speed up the construction of the new urban area.

However, at that moment, the Cha family, who had always bowed down to the Lan family, suddenly stabbed the Lan family in the back!

This knife made all the hard work invested by the Lan family in the new city go down the drain, not only that, but it was also picked up by the Cha family, most of the industries in the new city were taken by the Cha family as their own, and the Lan family was equivalent to making a wedding dress for the Cha family!

was secretly shaded, how could the Lan family at that time be willing, and was about to give the Cha family a head-on blow, but they didn't want to, when two more families suddenly appeared, the Ye family and the Zhao family.

These two families had been tepid before, but at this moment, they suddenly rose to the top, and they seized the entertainment and real estate business of the Lan family mall in an instant, which caught the Lan family by surprise.

Besieged from three sides, even if the Lan family had been strong for a long time, it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and there was no time to take care of the left and right.

And at this time, the Cha family explored the rare metals in the mines in the northern suburbs, and seized the development right for the first time.

The Lan family, which suffered repeated blows, not only failed to catch up with the development and construction of the new city, but was also hindered in various businesses, so they were trapped in the old city that year.

Even ten years later, to this day, the Lan family can only still be entrenched in the old mansion in this old city, and for so many years, under the deliberate suppression of the Cha family, not a single finger has been able to reach into the new city.

But then again, emaciated camels are bigger than horses, even after encountering this chain

Sniping and suppression, after all, the Lan family still has a hundred years of accumulation, and it is not so easy to be dispersed.

Therefore, even if they can only be entrenched in this old city at the moment, the power of the Lan family is not comparable to ordinary families, and it is even a few points stronger than the Ye family and the Zhao family, which have just risen in the past ten years.

In the center of the old city, there is a simple courtyard building, which is the ancestral residence of the Lan family, which has a history of more than 100 years.

This ancestral house, if placed in ancient times, is a deep house compound, the corridors inside are criss-crossed, there are hundreds of turns, large and small houses are nearly a hundred.

Such an old mansion can be preserved well after a hundred years, and it can already be called a cultural relic.

The Lan family has stayed here for generations and has never left, this is like the foundation of the Lan family, as long as there is this old mansion, the Lan family can stand for another hundred years!

The old city is now sparsely populated, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Towards noon, the roar of the engine sounded from far and near, and a dozen seconds later, a pink Porsche Paramela with a sleek shape and a distinctive body sped in.

skr！

A gorgeous drift, the sports car stopped steadily in front of the Lan family's compound.

Perhaps hearing the sound, the quaint mahogany double door slowly opened, and two people ran out of it, quickly coming to the side of the sports car and standing respectfully.

The fully automatic door slowly flipped up and opened on its side, and two people, a man and a woman, walked out of it, it was Wu Di and Lan Xue.

The two people standing respectfully on the side were obviously stunned when they saw Wu Di's eyes, and then they looked at each other, both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Why are you still stunned, you, park my car in the garage, and take us to my father at once. ”

As she spoke, Lan Xue had already thrown the car keys into one person's hands and ordered the other person to lead the way.

Because the Lan family's mansion is so big, even Lan Xue doesn't know which room her father will be in at this time, so someone must lead the way.

However, the person who led the way hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wu Di on the side, and said with Vino said: "Miss, who is this, doesn't the lord have a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the Lan family's mansion at will?"

Hearing this, Lan Xue glared at the man, and said coldly: "How can it be an outsider who I brought, he is my boyfriend, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and lead the way!"

Scare!

What?Miss's boyfriend?!

The man's jaw dropped in shock, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, with an expression of disbelief.

It's been 20 years, and this is the first time that Miss has brought someone home, but I didn't expect that this ice and snow beauty would take her boyfriend home quietly!

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and lead the way!"

Lan Xue urged again, and this person came back to his senses, no

Dare to ask more, and quickly lead the way in front obediently.

Wu Di followed behind Lan Xue, stepped up the steps in front of the Lan family's mansion, and looked up, this mansion was really spectacular.

The mahogany double gate is estimated to be more than two people high, and the surrounding walls that spread on both sides are also more than three meters high.

In the center of the top of the gate, there is also a plaque, perhaps due to the washing of the years, the whole body is dark red, and there are four big characters engraved on it: Lan Family Mansion!

When entering the door, even if Wu Di has a height of more than 1.8 meters, he has to try to raise his feet and step forward, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, this threshold is really high, it's almost to his knees!

When I entered the door, there was a sudden opening in front of me, and there was really something special in this deep mansion compound.

Don't look at the appearance of simple and solemn, but the inside is full of flowers, flowers, ponds, corridors, rockeries, flowers and trees in the courtyard, it is really like a paradise.

However, the beautiful scenery in front of him was only a quick glimpse, and Wu Di followed Lan Xue into the corridor with a hundred turns.

I don't know how many turns I turned, how many courtyards I passed, and finally stopped in front of a house.

Walking down such a circle, Wu Di's heart was even more shocked, where is this mansion, it is completely a labyrinth, if no one leads the way, it is estimated that he will really get lost in it.

The leader brought them to the door, then saluted Lan Xue again and retreated.

Before Wu Di could react, suddenly a soft and glutinous hand got into his palm, pulled him up and walked forward.

Crunch

The quaint wooden door opened, and a smell of books and ink came to my face.

In this day and age, such a smell is rarely smelled, after all, now that network communication is so developed, there is no need to find ways to obtain knowledge from books.

But in this house, the beams and walls are neatly arranged and arranged ancient wooden bookshelves, on which are displayed thick books with yellowed covers and old years.

Lan Xue pulled Wu Di like this, walked through the rows of bookshelves, and came to the innermost.

At this time, I saw a person with his back to them, this is a middle-aged man, dressed in a gray-blue ancient robe, standing proudly.

In front of him, there is also an ancient wooden table that reaches to his waist, and on the table, there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

I saw him clenching his fist in the back of one hand and holding a brush in the other, ignoring the footsteps behind him.

Lan Xue and Wu Di stopped three meters behind the man and stood quietly.

In the entire large room, only the faint friction sound of the brush touching the rice paper could be heard.

In this way, a quarter of an hour passed, the man stopped with the pen in his hand, raised the pen and watched, and it was a long time, and the pen was closed, and the pen fell.

At this time, Lan Xue, who had been standing quietly behind, called out, "Daddy." ”
