Tonight's Ningcheng is also goose feather heavy snow, two cars one after the other off the highway caliber straight towards the direction of Hedong, the car navigation system shows that this is the boundary of the four, Zhang Jingyang then got off the county road and drove on a one-way road.

It's the complete north, not as overcrowded as the cities in the south, and it's not a particularly economically developed place, with few houses in sight on the roadside, and the snow on the road is a little thick.

But fortunately, when I was in Huludao, the two cars had changed the snow tires, and there would be no slippage and loss of control when driving on this thick snow, but this was when Li Zimu drove slowly, and it was originally planned to arrive at five o'clock in the afternoon, but now it has been delayed for more than an hour.

People began to appear in a place in front of them, and only lights could be seen shining from a distance, and after driving for about ten minutes, the black BMW in front stopped, and Li Zimu also stopped next to it by downshifting and turning off the firebrake.

"Here are four families, which can be regarded as a place belonging to Ningchengguan" Zhang Jingyang waited for Li Zimu to get out of the car with an umbrella and said to her, although it didn't rain that day, it still felt a little uncomfortable for such a big snow to fall on his body.

"Four?" Li Zimu smiled and said, four, I just don't know which four?

In these years, ordinary people really can't afford to live in the courtyard, not because they can't buy it, but because they don't lack that little money to sell, and those who can have a set of courtyard houses generally have some identity and status.

"Well, four, our Zhang family is just one of them, the other three are the Liu family, the Lu family and the Xie family" Zhang Jingyang nodded and said, walking on this path with one foot deep and one foot shallow in front to lead the way for a few people, the snow is so deep that some places can even sink to the knee position.

"So that's the case" Li Zimu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Liu Lu Xie, these four families happen to be the surnames of the four factions of the ancient thief sect, and the four families here coincide exactly, don't think about it, this village is a den of thieves, at least their ancestors are engaged in underground work.

This courtyard is the kind of ancient courtyard, the outside is the wall, the gate is a mahogany door, there is a plaque on the door with the word Zhangfu written on it, a pair of stone lions at the door, and a Tsubaki tree is planted outside.

In ancient times, the big families in the northeast, the general houses were built like this, a pair of stone lions at the door meant the auspicious atmosphere of the town, and then planted two big trees, generally pine poplar trees, and there were also planting Tsubaki trees like this. The Tsubaki tree is the ancestor of a hundred trees, with a tall crown and strong vitality, meaning longevity and eternity.

There is a slip in the north, the willow acacia does not enter the house, the pepper pomegranate is buried casually, there are many grape descendants in front of the door, and the ginkgo biloba enters the house full of wealth. Generally, there are no trees in the house, and once you enter the tree, there are many requirements for the type of tree.

Zhang Jingyang knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard an answer from inside, and after a while, he heard footsteps coming towards them.

"The young master is back, didn't you say you won't come back this time?" It was an elderly old man who opened the door, speaking an authentic Northeast dialect, and as soon as he opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Jingyang, he hurriedly called the young master.

This kind of old habits in ancient times can only be seen in the countryside or in the kind of big family that inherits the ancient heritage, this person should be a housekeeper, otherwise he would not be called Young Master Zhang Jingyang, it seems that the current Zhang family still maintains the appearance of hundreds of years ago, and the dignity and order can still be seen.

"Mmmm, is my dad back?" Zhang Jingyang put away his umbrella and shook his head and said, this door is a pavilion, and corridors have been built around both sides of the wall, and beyond there is the main courtyard, and the area of the entire courtyard should not be small.

"The old man just called and said that he would come back tomorrow," the old housekeeper bowed his back slightly and took the umbrella handed over by Li Zimu and said, he had not received any news that Zhang Jingyang was coming back.

"Cheng, tell Mother Liu to get some food" Zhang Jingyang nodded and said, ignoring him, and walked straight to the corridor on the side, Chi Ling didn't show any strange expression, but Wang Xueling frowned.

There are also many rockery potted plants in the yard, the snow is not very much, it should be the reason why someone often shovels snow, go around the corridor on the edge of this yard, and it is a yard, but now there is a room next to it.

"This is the ancestral home of the Zhang family, which has always been where my grandfather lives, and my father has two brothers, and there is also their house here, but he rarely comes back. Zhang Jingyang said while leading the way in front, he only came back during the Chinese New Year, and he didn't plan to come back this year.

"Your family looks like a big family in that kind of costume drama" Wang Xueling said in surprise, not only does the building look like it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but even the people wear the same, the previous housekeeper had a cyan cotton coat on his upper body, and his lower body was also cyan cotton pants, but there was a piece of cloth on the front and back of the pants like a skirt, which was the same as when he was dressed in modern times.

"Hehe" Zhang Jingyang smiled and didn't speak, he couldn't answer this, because it wasn't like it at all, the Zhang family had a history of hundreds of thousands of years in the rivers and lakes, and the incense had never been broken after so many years, and it had always been a big family.

A group of four people stepped through a threshold and walked inside, here is a lobby, the layout inside is also a more modern layout, Li Zimu likes this style very much.

"Rest for a while, I'll take you to your respective rooms to put things" Zhang Jingyang turned around and looked at Li Zimu and said, this ancestral house is very big, usually his grandfather lives, there is a housekeeper and a few subordinates to serve, and there are many empty houses.

A short time after the four of them sat down, the butler who had opened the door had entered the door, holding a pot of tea and some snacks in his hand. A few people sat down and chatted for a while, and Zhang Jingyang took a few more people out of the lobby.

The lobby is a cloister, and the four sides are partial rooms, which are very clean, and the snow that drifts in is still very thin.

"Do you live in this room, do you two live in one room?" Zhang Jingyang said to Li Zimu, pointed to the room next to him, and pushed it into a room, which is not small, roughly more than thirty square meters.

"I still want to live with Senior Sister Xueling" Chi Ling took Wang Xueling's hand and said, she has lived with Wang Xueling during this time, and now that she is here, it is no exception.

"Then you go in first to put things and rest, I'll take them to the room, and I'll call you to eat later" Zhang Jingyang nodded and said, then took Wang Xueling and Chi Ling and went to the front, he had to go to his grandfather to report in a while.
