The inner courtyard of the Cheng family.

Although the inner courtyard has the word 'courtyard', it is not as simple as a simple courtyard.

The Cheng family is located in the northwest corner of Yunfeng City, occupying almost one-fifth of the ground in the entire Yunfeng City.

And in such a large territory, seven have become the outer courtyard of the Cheng family, and three achievements are the inner courtyard of the Cheng family.

The outer courtyard is vast, and it can already be seen as a faintly independent small town, and even the outer courtyard is surrounded by a wall that is not too small.

And the people who live in the outer courtyard are roughly the nurses, the chariot and horse servants, the bookkeepers who settle the rents and sales of the various fields, and the servants who work as coolies.

As for the inner courtyard, it is naturally the Cheng family's relatives and their personal servants who live.

The Cheng family has been thriving and multiplying in Yunfeng City for five generations, and as a large family of the Wang family, there are naturally a lot of Dingkou, but most of the collateral families with distant blood ties have been sent out of the Cheng family and live in other parts of Yunfeng City.

Only three generations of relatives are still in the inner courtyard of the Cheng family.

This is the head of the previous generation of the Cheng family, and Cheng Qingfeng is still in the world.

Just like many other big families, as long as the eldest and strongest person in the family is still alive, then the relatives of his generation are still his own family and will live together.

But as long as the old family owner dies, then a major clean-up will begin, leaving only the close relatives of the current family owner at home.

It's also a way for big families to keep their populations from being so large that they can't make ends meet.

Therefore, in today's inner courtyard of the Cheng family, there are nearly two hundred children of the Cheng family in the three generations alone.

It's just that the status and identity of this are far behind.

Those who are close to the contemporary head of the family will naturally have a higher status, and those who are slightly far away in blood will not be taken very seriously, and sometimes even the status is not as good as a big girl like Cong Zhu.

However, even the relatives of the Cheng family with the lowest status and the least valued will more or less have one or two envoys, so that the population in the inner courtyard of the Cheng family should be no less than five hundred.

And the large and complex structure of the inner courtyard will often make people who come back for the first time dizzy.

Countless houses and towers, endless flower gardens and water pavilions.

Strange mountains and strange rocks are covered, and the trails are secluded and secluded, and the end can be dazzling.

Of course, as a big family that stands by martial arts, there are more cultivation venues here, including quiet Qing cultivation places and empty martial arts arenas. "Boy, are you stunned?"

Cheng Yuan dragged Cheng Hao all the way inward, seeing that he had not been very angry, nor did he sweep left and right, he was also quite satisfied, and was ready to mention him a few words.

"Remember in the future, don't trespass where you shouldn't go, and don't provoke people you shouldn't. Your world is just around Young Master Ziang, serve a good young master, and the young master may be rewarded when he is happy, enough for your family to eat and drink for several years!"

Cheng Hao nodded slightly.

is different from what Cheng Yuan said, he really didn't faint, not only did he not faint, but he also remembered the structure of the inner courtyard of the Cheng family very clearly in his mind.

Now, even without Cheng Yuan leading the way, he can easily walk back to the east gate of the inner courtyard by himself.

That's the benefit of being a powerful soul.

followed Cheng Yuan around for a while, and finally arrived at the center of the inner courtyard.

He stopped in front of a house full of green bamboo.

"This is Young Master Ziang's house, I'll go to the door to give you a message, you have to go in by yourself." ”

Cheng Yuan dragged Cheng Hao aside and whispered: "If you also make a career in the future, don't forget that I took you into the inner courtyard today." ”

"Naturally, I don't dare to forget, even the process family was selected by you. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, is there such a thing?

As a subordinate steward, when was he in charge of selecting people? It was all the work done by his subordinates.

"Steward Yuan, you may not remember, but I am the little beggar you brought back from the street last year. ”

Hearing Cheng Hao say this, Cheng Yuan really had a little impression.

It was on the third day of the New Year's Festival at the beginning of last year, and it snowed heavily, and as the steward of the next service, he could rarely have a day off and return to his home in Yunfeng City to accompany his relatives.

That year, Cheng Bozhan, the head of the Cheng family, was happy, so he rewarded almost all the stewards in the inner and outer courtyards of the Cheng family with a large amount of reward, and allowed each of them to have a day off.

So the excited Cheng Yuan drank a few sips of wine with several inner courtyard stewards at noon, and left Cheng's house at ten o'clock at dusk and paced towards his home.

It was at that time, in the thick snow of the long street, that he saw Cheng Hao, who was squatting among the beggars and begging.

Because he was in a good mood, he was kind for a while, so he took Cheng Hao back to Cheng's house to do a service.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise with the cold and heavy snow at the beginning of spring that year, Cheng Hao, a thin teenager, is afraid that he will not survive the next year.

From here, Cheng Yuan can really be said to have saved Cheng Hao's life.

But of course, the current Cheng Hao is no longer the Cheng Hao he used to be, and he doesn't really have any gratitude to Cheng Yuan because of this. The reason why I say this is mainly because of the relationship with Lala, the steward of the outer court.

In order to facilitate his cultivation in the future, Cheng Hao must still leave the Cheng family to go out to exercise.

After entering the inner courtyard, it is naturally different from when you stayed in the outer courtyard.

When he was still in the outer courtyard, he stayed in the lower house on the side of the stable.

In fact, the so-called subordinate house is not a place to live in a centralized manner, but is scattered in various locations in the outer courtyard according to the work of the subordinates.

And Cheng Hao's stable house is located in a large open space outside the wall of Cheng's outer courtyard because he wants to raise horses.

To investigate carefully, in fact, the stable and the service room cannot be regarded as within the Cheng family, and it is precisely because of this that he can leave and go outside at any time.

Otherwise, with Cheng Hao's current means, it would be a problem to leave the gate of Cheng's house.

gave a soul mark to the big girl Cong Zhu, the steward of the east gate of the inner courtyard, and then wooed Cheng Yuan, then it will be much less difficult for him to leave the Cheng family in the future.

It's not that Cheng Hao doesn't want to plant a soul mark on Cheng Yuan, it's really impossible to do it at present.

Cheng Yuan, as a steward, also has the cultivation of a martial artist, and he is also a middle-level martial artist, which is not something that Cheng Hao can control now.

Cheng Yuan's heart also moved slightly when he heard Cheng Hao's words, this little soldier was obviously grateful to him, if he could use it properly, then maybe there would be a place where he could use it in the future.

Don't look at Cheng Ziang as a wasted person, but that is just a waste person in the eyes of the Cheng family, and in front of him, a little subordinate steward, he is still the master!

One sentence can decide his life and death, the master of wealth and wealth!

And Cheng Hao is now Cheng Ziang's little servant, this ......
