After this fruitful trip to the Peach Blossom Spring, Ryan and they met with his parents in Qiantang, but according to Ryan's grandfather, it may take a while to hold an engagement ceremony, so during this time, the four parents were busy with their own work first, and he rushed over with the two younger generations first, and by the way, they could take a look at the collection of books at home.

"Our family is also a Fangshi family with a history of five or six hundred years in Chang'an. On the plane, Ryan's grandfather said proudly. "Our family has been engaged in the cultivation of various magical plants for hundreds of years, and now 1/3 of the raw materials for herbal potions in the northern part of the Celestial Empire are supplied by them. ”

"The magic family of the Celestial Empire, this must be something to look forward to. Hermione said happily through the phoenix mark on her arm. "At least in England, I don't have a chance to visit those wizarding family estates, let alone invite my parents. ”

After the plane landed, they stayed in the People's Building for one night. As the hometown of Lane for two lifetimes, Chang'an in the mid-90s was far less prosperous than 20 years later. In the early morning, everyone was still woken up by the sound of traffic bells on the street. The motorway is empty against the backdrop of bicycles, and although there are private cars at this time, the cars on the street are still scattered.

Riding in a rented old jeep, everyone drove all the way to the south. After more than an hour, they saw a series of magnificent mountains appear in front of them.

"We're almost there. Ryan's grandfather, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Qin Ling in front of him and said, sure enough, the car stopped after driving for more than half an hour. Hermione got out of the car and found a beautiful little mountain village in the valley below the shoulder, with smoke curling from the village, and even a man with a cow working in the fields of the riverbank.

"Here we are, but I don't think it's any different from a normal village. Hermione said, looking at the mountain village.

"Of course it doesn't make a difference. Ryan's grandfather walked up from behind. "In the Celestial Empire, there was no such thing as a traditional wizard's manor inhabited by pure alchemists, where traditional alchemists were accustomed to living in the same area as people who were related by blood. If it has a long history, then it will form a village of ethnic groups. ”

"It's incredible. Hermione looked excitedly at the village in the valley below. "It's a completely different world!"

After entering the village, Lane, guided by his grandfather, began to greet many villagers. It was only at this time that Ryan found himself in the middle of the ranks in the village. The number of people in my age who are two generations older than me and twice as small as me is basically the same.

Eventually, they came to the big house that was used as the village council. The house is unpretentious, and the only difference compared to other houses in the village is that the walls of this house are large tiled houses made of blue bricks, not adobe tiled houses like most of the houses in the village.

"What are we doing here?" asked Ryan curiously. Because the layout of the house is not different from that of most local village committees in this era: a coffee-colored desk is placed against the window, and a large iron lock locks the two drawers. On top of the desk were several file bags and notebooks, and behind the chair there was a small cabinet of the same color. Other than that, the house was empty, and when you entered the door, you found that there was a wooden frame with a washbasin in the blind spot in front of the door, and a small pile of farm tools behind the door.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Ryan's grandfather looked at Ryan who was a little anxious at this time and said. "You have to learn to wait, slow work can do fine work. ”

With that, he took out a hoe from the corner of the wall, and pressed the hoe down on a mark on the wall. The back wall of the house immediately resembled the wall of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and the bricks began to move around the center of the depression, first a small hole in the wall, and then slowly expanding into a brick arch that allowed two people to pass side by side.

"Come in. Ryan's grandfather beckoned. "Inside is the ancestral hall of the family, where your marriage ceremony is held. The elders helped calculate the day, and twenty-one days later happened to be a good day, which coincided with your birthday. During this time, the two of you lived in the wing on the east side. Come out to eat at noon, and when your uncle comes in the afternoon, let him take you to Chang'an, which is the core area of the Heavenly Empire. ”

"By the way, you take this. When Grandfather saw Ryan and Hermione about to go to the side room to put their luggage, he handed Ryan a wooden card: "This is the ID card, you can go to the library in the back to read the book." However, your little daughter-in-law will not be allowed to enter for the time being, and these restrictions will not be lifted until her name is added to the family tree after the engagement ceremony. ”

Ryan's name was recorded in the family tree when he was first adopted as a child. That's why, even if he is just an adopted son, the treatment is no different from his own child.

After saying goodbye to his grandfather, who was in a hurry to go to the village to chat with his old friends, Ryan went into the room that had been arranged for him. The décor is very similar to the style of the inn outside, except that everything like the two wooden beds and the coffee table and stools look old and beautifully made.

But unexpectedly, there was an old TV of more than ten inches on the table. Of course, this old TV refers to the comparison with the more than 40-inch rear projection large color TV in Ryan's last life. In this era, this small color TV can be regarded as a fashionable product. And what is even more shocking is that there can be a color TV in such a place.

There is a button on the side of the TV, and if you turn to the left, you can see the TV program of ordinary people, and if you turn to the right, you can see the program of the Celestial Dynasty Fangshi TV. However, in this era, in addition to news and lectures, the programs of the alchemists also interspersed popular science programs and movie videos of ordinary people from time to time.

"There's no such thing in the UK. Hermione said with some depression after watching the TV show. "Muggles in England live in better and more advanced conditions than here. But the life of a wizard seems to be stuck 100 years ago. The only thing that I find strange is where does the electricity come from for the wizards of the Celestial Empire?"

"As far as I know, they've learned how to use magic to generate electricity. "It's a lot less difficult than modifying a TV set, and I think the only reason there isn't a wizarding TV station in the UK is because there are so few people and there's less demand for it." Whether you open a wizard TV station or sell a TV set to a wizard, you will only lose money. You have to know that if you can make a magic radio that can be used in Hogwarts, there is technically no possibility that you can't make a TV that can work in the wizarding world, so the only possibility that the British wizarding world doesn't have this thing is because it is not needed. ”

After going out to the village for lunch, Ryan and Hermione visited the ancestral hall together. The main room, where the tablets and other things are usually kept, was closed, so they just looked at the layout outside. Aside from the fact that many of them have magical defenses, many houses can't be seen for what they are used for.

Originally, they were going to take a break after their visit, but it was at this moment that Ryan's grandfather walked in with an old man who looked like her.

"Our Liang En has grown so big, and you used to look at your photos when you were still a little guy who was not as tall as your grandfather's waist. Now you're getting married. Ryan's uncle said.

Uncle is the younger brother of Lane's grandfather, and unlike his grandfather, who doesn't know magic, he has a very good talent for magic. After graduating from Kunlun College, he went to the Celestial Dynasty Fangshi Academy in Chang'an for three years to study, and then stayed on to teach. According to the previous plan, Ryan and their engagement days will follow him to enjoy the scenery of the Celestial Empire's magical world.

"Are you ready?" said Ryan's uncle, who was a crisp man. "If you're ready, let's go. ”
