Bailuan is a big seaside city, a hundred miles to the north of the fertile field, to the west of the mountain plain rich, the water system is accessible, the geographical position is superior, it is a paradise for noble businessmen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info What's even more surprising is that it does not have a nearly straight coast like other seaside cities, Bailuan's ports are as many as hundreds, large and small, densely formed; it has a semicircular bay, the harbor is distributed on the bay, and the sea water pours into this continent to open a mouth and a basin of the belly, like a mouth, open the lip and fill the water, full, like a lake, but one side of the lake borders the land, and the other side is connected to the endless sea. Hence, it has a beautiful name, Crescent Bay.
There is a small island in Crescent Bay, not big or small, the area is only the size of a forest, the island is lush with grass and a high slope. In the most central part of the island and on the highest hillside, there is a building, which is an ancient castle, unlike the houses divided into courtyards in this era, each room was built separately.
There is no wall, there is no Jumen lion, it is hidden in the middle of the forest, with a pond next to it. The walls are gray and gray, the wooden doors and windows are painted teal, and the roof is stacked with black tiles.
The castle is surrounded by soft turf, there is a garden near the pond, but in winter, the garden is evergreen, always green, the outer wall is covered with moss, one wall is occupied by creepers, and even spreads to the window sill on the second floor and the balcony railing that extends outward, the flower pavilion on the side of the house is connected to the house, the white columns are arched in a circle, supporting the ceiling, the pavilion is full of flower plates, two couches are placed on both sides of the center, and in the middle is a white marble table with several teacups on it, and a round-necked vase with new flowers in Dongyueli.
There is no doubt that this is a stately and romantic building, and one cannot help but wonder what kind of genius it takes to go beyond the traditional specifications to create a dreamy building.
The people of Bailuan City know the island, who owns it, and who inhabits it. It is a private possession, a family belonging to a family with a surname.
Golden Empire, Han Family. If you don't know the second of these two names, it's understandable, but if you don't know the first name, I'm afraid that the emperor will also fall on his heels.
This island is named Huyue Court by the Emperor of the Great Yin Emperor Jun Shangliu himself, five years ago officially classified as the Han family's private land, it is the pride of the merchants of Bailuan City, is unmatched noble land.
Everyone in the world knows that the palace is the most magnificent place, many people have never had the opportunity to enter the palace to have a look in their lives, and Huyue Court is the most mysterious island homestead, people in the world have never had the opportunity to go to the island to see the flowers and trees on the island in their lives, and even the powerful rich and noble families of Bailuan are not fortunate to see it. This island only belongs to the Han family, and even royal people must obtain the consent of the owner before they can go to the island.
In the eyes of outsiders, Huyue Court is an unreachable place, but in Han Liangxue's eyes, it is just his home.
"Uncle Wu, Aunt Nan, we're back!" Han Liangxue, who had been on a long journey, pushed open the door, shouted and fell on the reclining chair in the living room.
"Why is there no one at home, Uncle Wu, where is Aunt Nan?" Liu Changnan, who was tired, sat on the chair with a butt, and the cotton cushions were spread on the chair, sitting very comfortably.
The house was empty, the furniture was all built according to the 21st century style of Chinese and Western fusion, and even the design of the house was drawn on the sketch by Wenwen himself, so that he, an intern who had studied architectural design, built it, and it took him half a year to build the house, and he was tired and half dead.
After being away from home for a year, and now that he has come back, no one else is there, and he feels uncomfortable.
Similarly, Xiaoxue beside him is also uncomfortable. I only heard her complain: "It's been almost a year since I went out, and I finally came back, but they haven't come home yet, and they're all dead outside! Hmph, I won't say good things for them in the future, especially the old lady, who said to leave and gave us a letter to go home, and now that people are home, she hasn't seen anyone." Oops, annoying. β
Liu Changnan has been staying in the wild for recent months, feeling very tired, and he wants to fall into bed in a daze and not wake up. At this time, her ears were full of irritable self-talk, and she suddenly felt physically and mentally tired, and just wanted to hide in a no-man's place for a while.
Xiaoxue chattered a lot, her mouth was dry, and she ran to find water to drink.
The living room is very large, the ceiling is on the second floor, the stairs are facing the door, the left is the living room, the right is the kitchen and dining room, there is no door wall to isolate it, the space is large, it is very spacious. Xiaoxue walked around the stairs, directly opened the cabinet standing on the side of the stairs, took a crystal cup, poured half a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp, and then she opened her mouth to burp, feeling more comfortable physically and mentally.
Liu Changnan was still resting at the end of the stairs, she was so tired that she didn't bother him, she just drank one cup at a time to relieve her boredom.
I don't know how long later, noon was approaching, there were a few empty wine bottles on the counter, she drank two red clouds on her cheeks, her eyes were covered with water, and she was half drunk and half awake.
After the old housekeeper Uncle Wu and Aunt Nan entered the door, they saw the two of them who had been separated for a year at a glance, and their hearts were first excited, and then they were stunned.
Aunt Nan put down the vegetable basket, snatched Xiaoxue's wine glass in the past, helped her to the living room to sit down, a little annoyed her, and said: "Miss, I finally look forward to your return, how can you drink non-stop as soon as you enter the door, I really don't care about my body when I go out for a year." β
"Aunt Nan, where have you be......en? I don't care about you, I'm dying of hunger, it's noon, you can go cook, okay?" Xiaoxue drank a lot, but her brain was still quite clear, and when she saw two old men in her armor who were over half a hundred years old standing in front of her, she knew that they were the two people in the family.
Han Wen doesn't like the excessive population in the family, and hates the door of the house where there are many people and restlessness, so he only hires two elderly people to work at home. Uncle Wu and Aunt Nan were originally old people who lived in seclusion in the rivers and lakes, and when they were young, they had a chic time of fighting swords and going to the end of the world, and later the rivers and lakes were constantly disputed, and they saw the vicissitudes of life and returned to the Yuan, and retired to the mountains and forests to spend the rest of their lives silently. Han Wen went out once, met them by chance, and because he solved their troubles for many years, in order to repay the kindness, the two old men decided to use their little remaining life to protect the Han family, Han Wen couldn't shirk it, so he had to promise them to stay by her side, and served as the guardian of the Han family, protecting the safety of Huyueting and the Han family day and night.
It's been five years, and with them, the Han family is really quiet and has been free from a lot of disturbances.
Uncle Wu is a martial artist, most of his life has gone through ups and downs, his heart has long been calm and indifferent, the Han family has no more than ten people, all of whom are the best in their years, so in her and Aunt Nan's hearts, they are like their grandchildren and granddaughters, who need to be taken care of. After five years, they have developed a family relationship and a very good relationship.
Aunt Nan is old and loves to take care of things, unlike Uncle Wu, who lets the children go, she cares about the children of the Han family, and she used to always care about their physical health, meals and clothes on weekdays, and sometimes she would talk for two hours. No matter how tired the Han family is, they have to listen patiently, after all, the mother-in-law who is nearly seventy years old really treats them as their own children, and they sometimes don't like it, and they won't say it directly, otherwise it will hurt the old man's heart.
Among the Han family, it is Han Liangxue who reassures Aunt Nan the most, and she often cares about it.
Now when I go home, as soon as I enter the door, I see the young lady who I haven't seen for a year drinking, and Aunt Nan's heart that has not preached for a long time begins to bother again: "Miss, where have you been this year? I don't send a letter to my family, and I don't know where to find you, so we two old people have been worried for a whole year." You said you were back, and you didn't announce us so that we could get ready. The world is so big, there are a lot of troubles, the outside is not as good as the home, and it is difficult to judge whether people's hearts are good or bad; if you meet a bad person, how can you be in danger? By the way, is the young lady in danger? Where have you been in a year? Are you not injured? How are you eating? Are you sleeping well? When you encounter something, you must tell your family, and when you come back now, don't run outside. And Anan too, you are the elder brother, take care of the young lady everywhere, she is the youngest, you have to take good care of her, don't let her make trouble everywhere, when the time comes, the eldest lady should worry too much, and she will not be good for her body...... "chattering for an hour, it is a trivial matter over and over again, Xiaoxue and Anan are dizzy when they hear it, and they just want to bury their heads, and hope that the world will give them a peace."
Xiaoxue was dizzy and dizzy, and interjected at the moment of Aunt Nan's bitter tirade: "Grandma, I'm hungry, do you have food for your little granddaughter?"
The elderly love to eat a set of grandmothers and granddaughters, and Aunt Nan is no exception, as soon as she heard that her granddaughter was hungry, she immediately carried a basket full of fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden to the kitchen hall to cook, forgetting the words of the second half. Uncle Wu helped to light the fire and cook, and for a while, the living room was quiet.
Liu Changnan was lying on the sofa with a heavy sigh of relief, and just closed his eyes and was about to take a nap before getting up to eat, when he heard the sound of footsteps upstairs.
The world is restless again.
He was a little bored, and his already tired mood suddenly rose to the point of anger, thinking that this Aunt Nan or someone else, whoever bothered him and who made up for sleep, he wouldn't give face today.
"Sister!" The cry of surprise suddenly woke up all his thoughts, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaoxue jumping up from the chair with a look of joy. What surprised him was not her startled reaction, but the voice she screamed - sister?
He followed Xiaoxue's gazeβon the stairs, the woman in the purple dress was slim, her black curls were scattered behind her ears, and she was looking down at the two of them.
For a long time, he opened his mouth slightly and shouted: "..... Text. β
