Tiancheng Continent Southland. Great Liang Country. Liangxing Province. Kyoto. Crepe flat. West Street, West End.

Time has not yet come out of midnight, the endless inky sky is still full of stars, and the cold and bleak first quarter moon in the distant sky has always hung obliquely, making this already dark and cold night more and more dark and cold.

A magnificent mansion stood beside the bluestone paved road, atop a very wide gate, and the black tiles emitted a hazy silver-gray halo in the bright moonlight.

In front of the door, there are two thick vermilion lacquer columns that require an adult to hug with his arms together, to support the weight of the eaves on the roof of the door.

Because the night was deep, at this time, under the eaves of this imposing mansion, two huge red gauze lanterns had already been hung, which could illuminate the world in front of the mansion. And the bright moonlight in the sky reflected the two stone lions on both sides of the stairs in front of the mansion with their feet on the hydrangea a little hideous.

Walking up the stairs in front of the mansion, you can see through the candlelight and moonlight of the lanterns hanging under the eaves that the gate of the mansion is a two-leaf vermilion lacquered wooden door.

On the left and right doors, there is a gilded copper pavement. The two shops are gilded and round in shape. The main pattern is the animal face pattern, and the beast's head is frowning. The wide mouth is wide open, the sharp teeth are full, and the tongue is rolled with copper rings. The face is vicious and hideous.

Above the vermilion lacquer gate, there is a plaque with red gold on a black background, and if you look closely, the two red gold characters are the words "Zhu Fu".

Since Zhu Zimo was born, the huge Zhu Mansion has been able to enter Zhu Zimo's heart and let Zhu Zimo treat the Zhu family sincerely. That is, Zhu Zimo's grandfather Zhu Jing, who is already Zhu Zimo's mother-in-law Liu Ruyun.

However, just two months ago. Following the death of Zhu Zimo's grandfather Zhu Jing more than ten years ago, the only remaining Zhu family member in this world who makes Zhu Zimo remember - his mother-in-law - Liu Ruyun has finally left Zhu Zimo......

Since two months ago, Zhu Hui, Zhu Ziyao, Chen Rou, and Liu Ruyun have passed away one after another. Now in the huge Zhu Mansion. It seems that there is only one master left, Zhu Zimo.

Zhu Zimo's biological mother Liu Ruyun, let's not say much, although Liu Ruyun has never fulfilled the responsibilities of a mother, and has never given Zhu Zimo a certain amount of protection and care, but all this is not done by Liu Ruyun on purpose, but because Liu Ruyun is weak and helpless.

However, Liu Ruyun's heart has always loved and cared for Zhu Zimo.

Regarding the above point, Zhu Zimo is clear in his heart. Therefore, Zhu Zimo never blamed Liu Ruyun for giving birth to him. But he never took on the responsibility of raising him. On the contrary, the mother-son relationship between Zhu Zimo and Liu Ruyun is still cut by no one!

Therefore, Liu Ruyun's death is undoubtedly a huge blow and stimulation for Zhu Zimo! Otherwise, after Liu Ruyun's death, Zhu Zimo would not have been depressed and vomited blood in front of Liu Ruyun's grave.

As for Zhu Hui, Zhu Ziyao, and Chen Rou......

It is true that for Zhu Zimo, Zhu Hui has never been a good father, and he is not even considered "qualified". For Zhu Zimo, in addition to Zhu Hui being Zhu Zimo's biological father, Zhu Hui is no different from a stranger to Zhu Zimo.

Chen Rou is not a good mother-in-law, not only because Chen Rou was born in the land of smoke and willows, and she is not clean, but also because Chen Rou has been thinking about how to calculate Zhu Zimo's concubine all day long, and how to make Zhu Zimo die silently.

And Zhu Ziyao ...... Leaving aside Zhu Ziyao's true identity, he said that Zhu Ziyao was Zhu Hui's bloodline, and Zhu Ziyao was not a good brother. Although Zhu Ziyao didn't think about killing Zhu Zimo, in other aspects, Zhu Ziyao didn't stumble on Zhu Zimo, make trouble, and harm Zhu Zimo.

For these three people whose fathers are not like their fathers, their mothers are not like their mothers, and their brothers are not like their brothers, Zhu Zimo really has no friendship for them.

However, no matter what, if Zhu Hui, Zhu Ziyao, and Chen Rou were still alive, then the huge Zhu Mansion would not be as silent and lifeless as it is now!

If Zhu Hui, Zhu Ziyao, and Chen Rou were still alive, at least Zhu Zimo could still feel the feeling of being disliked, calculated, and harmed by others every day, and his life would not be as unchanged as it is now.

Since Zhu Hui and Zhu Ziyao, Chen Rou, and Liu Ruyun passed away one after another, Zhu's Mansion has lost its original vitality, and the lively atmosphere surrounding Zhu's Mansion in the past has also disappeared with the successive deaths of Zhu Hui, Zhu Ziyao, Chen Rou, and Liu Ruyun.

However, at that time, after losing all his relatives one after another, Zhu Zimo did not feel hopeless.

At that time, Zhu Zimo felt that although his mother had left him, although his father and eldest brother, as well as his disgusted grandmother, had gone to serve his grandfather, at least he still had Leng Qing by his side!

Although the marriage between him and Leng Qing was just a transaction because of his mother's parents, and he and Leng Qing didn't even enter the cave room, Leng Qing was still nominally his young lady Zhu Zimo at that time!

As long as Leng Qing is in Zhu's Mansion for a day, he Zhu Zimo can't be completely alone.

However, since the day when Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing sent Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu south more than a month ago, Leng Qing actually disappeared from the Zhu Mansion, so since then, Zhu Zimo can only face the empty Zhu Mansion all day long......

Although there are hundreds of maids, maids, and nurses in Zhu's mansion, some of whom have been in Zhu's mansion for decades, none of these people can become the object of Zhu Zimo's chat. And in the huge Zhu Mansion, the only person who can sit side by side with Zhu Zimo and talk about the world, Lin Zhiwu, has already accompanied Lin Xiaoyang to the south.

Now, Zhu Zimo's current situation is probably -

Zhu Zimo's most intimate subordinate, Lin Zhiwu. accompanied Zhu Zimo's favorite third junior brother Lin Xiaoyang to Nanling County in the south of the Yangtze River......

Although, in the middle of this. Zhu Zimo's little Mu Ziru, who had disappeared for more than seven years, suddenly came back, bringing Zhu Zimo endless joy, but after a few days, Mu Ziru went south to Nanling County, Jiangnan.

As for the four of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird, Zhu Zimo had arranged things for the four of them earlier, and now. The things that the four of them were dealing with were on the right track, and it was when the four of them were so busy that none of the four of them could distract themselves from Zhu Zimo's side at the moment.

So much so that now Zhu Zimo is by his side. I really can't find anyone who can chat with Zhu Zimo to relieve my boredom.

The empty Zhu Mansion, the empty Han Courtyard, and even the surroundings are empty, such a lonely life. If Zhu Zimo doesn't feel lonely. That's lying to himself!

However, no matter how lonely you are, you still have to do what you need to do, and you still have to live the days you should live!

In the past, when Zhu Jing was still alive, all the properties and granges under the Zhu Mansion were taken care of by Zhu Jing. No matter how big or small, Zhu Jing never fakes his hands. It's hands-on almost everywhere.

It is true that Zhu Jing, who is the head of the family, does not need to work so hard, but Zhu Jing thinks that it is more reassuring to handle his own business.

Zhu Ziyao and Zhu Zimo, the two grandchildren, skipped not mentioning it, and said that Zhu Jing's only son, Zhu Hui, when Zhu Jing was still alive, Zhu Hui was purely an idle rich boy, not only did not do his job all day long, but also often looked for joy and drinking, and fell in love with various flower streets and willow alleys.

In the business field, Zhu Jing has an amazing talent, which is why the Zhu family business, which has been passed down tepidly for more than 100 years, has become bigger and bigger after it has been passed down to Zhu Jing, and it has become more and more prosperous, and finally even hooked up with the imperial merchants.

It is true that Zhu Jing's business talent is praised by everyone in the business field, but Zhu Hui, who is Zhu Jing's only son, has not even inherited Zhu Jing's business talent!

Compared to his father Zhu Jing, Zhu Hui is simply useless.

The only thing that Zhu Hui is good about is that if Zhu Jingruo tells Zhu Hui to take care of any business, Zhu Hui can take care of it obediently. But if Zhu Jing didn't tell Zhu Hui to take care of his business, Zhu Hui would be able to fall in love with the flowers all day long, without asking about the Zhu family's industrial situation.

Later, after Zhu Jing passed away, and no one could take care of the properties and granges under the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Hui had no choice, so he took over the properties and granges under the Zhu Mansion.

Although Zhu Hui did not inherit Zhu Jing's business talent, how can he say that he is a tiger father without a dog, even if it is not good, the son of a mouse will still make a hole!

Relying on his only little bit of business ability, although Zhu Hui failed to continue to carry forward the status of the Zhu Mansion in the commercial field like his father Zhu Jing, Zhu Hui did not lose the properties and granges of the Zhu Mansion, which is already excellent.

Unlike Zhu Hui, who has mediocre qualifications in business, although Zhu Zimo is the son of a mindless concubine, Zhu Zimo has been talented and extremely intelligent since he was a child.

Zhu Zimo's intelligence is not only in business, but in many aspects, Zhu Zimo is very smart, such as academics, martial arts, and so on.

Zhu Zimo was born smart and talented, and because of Zhu Jing's preference for Zhu Zimo, and because Zhu Zimo was taken by Zhu Jing since he was a child, Zhu Zimo more or less learned a lot of business methods and business experience from Zhu Jing.

Over time, in business, Zhu Zimo is better than Zhu Jing!

It's just that when he followed Zhu Jing's side, the industries and businesses in Zhu Mansion didn't need to worry about Zhu Zimo, a grandchild; Later, although Zhu Jing passed away, because Zhu Hui had been pressing on Zhu Zimo, Zhu Zimo has never been able to find the opportunity to show his business talent in the business field.

But because of the relationship with Zhu Jing's grandson, even if he was suppressed by Zhu Hui everywhere, Zhu Zimo's determination to continue to make all the industries and granges under the Zhu Mansion the best and biggest has never changed!

What's more, from the year Zhu Zimo's grandfather Zhu Jing died, from the day Zhu Zimo saw the suicide note left by his grandfather in the study of the Han Academy, and from the moment Zhu Zimo lived in the Han Academy, Zhu Zimo had already understood-

From now on, this Zhu Mansion will eventually be his Zhu Zimo's Zhu Mansion, and all the industries and granges under the Zhu Mansion will eventually be his Zhu Zimo's industries and granges!

Because he understands the meaning of Zhu Jing's leaving the Han Academy to him, since Zhu Jing drove the crane to the west, no matter how outsiders judge him, Zhu Zimo has always been wholeheartedly in charge of all the properties and granges under the Zhu Mansion. Since then, Zhu Zimo's talent in the commercial field has begun to gradually show.

It wasn't until now that even Zhu Hui passed away, and Zhu Zimo was finally able to let go of his hands and feet and show his strength in the commercial field without any scruples!

And taking care of all the properties and granges in Zhu Mansion is also one of the only things that Zhu Zimo can talk about now......

Let's talk about it, in the people of Daliang, there is a saying that there is no longer a lamp when there is a Hai, perhaps because of the high cost of candles and kerosene, in short, in the people of Daliang, ordinary people, and even the descendants of noble and wealthy families, if there are no special circumstances, generally when there is no Hai, the lights and candles will be extinguished, and the lights will no longer be lit.

The Zhu Mansion already covers a wide area, and even if there are lights and candles in every house where people live, there are many places that are pitch black. At this time, it was already midnight, and the subordinates who had worked all day had already extinguished the lights and candles and gone to bed, so in this dark Zhu Mansion, a courtyard that was still lit with a candle flame at this moment looked so dazzling without accident.

In the vast night, in this quiet and empty courtyard, a maze arranged by rockeries and strange stones occupies most of the courtyard, and the other half is the location of the two-story pavilion in the courtyard, and a four-corner pavilion is built on one side of the pavilion.

This seemingly simple but very complex courtyard belongs to Zhu Zimo and is located at the highest place in Zhu's Mansion - Han Courtyard.

Right now, under the reflection of the moonlight, every rockery and strange stone in the Korean courtyard is like a black ghost, which makes people's scalp tingle when they look at it. And the four-corner pavilion built on the side of the pavilion also looks dark and shadowy under the reflection of the moonlight, which is very terrifying.

With the slight sound of insects chirping from an unknown corner of the courtyard, a black shadow suddenly and silently fell from the sky in front of the twelve-step bluestone steps in the courtyard.

Under the support of the ghostly rockery in the courtyard, the black shadow from head to toe is even more ghostly! )
