If you want to find a place with the highest housing prices in Jiangnan, then the houses around West Lake are undoubtedly the most expensive. But many Jiangnan people know that if they want to buy a commercial house next to the West Lake, as long as they pay the money, they won't have to worry about not being able to buy a villa.

But if you want to buy a private villa on both sides of the lakeshore around the West Lake. Especially the kind of house with the classical style of Jiangnan, it is not something that money can do, and it must have some status and power.

Liu Siya, who finished the semester exam of the college, also did not return to the home where she could not feel the warmth for her. Instead, he returned to the old house of the Liu family, who also did not want to live with his children, to accompany the elderly grandfather.

Although it is an old house, many people know that the older the house next to the West Lake, the more precious it is. Most of the people who can live in this kind of old house are not easy to mess with. Moreover, most of these houses are forbidden to idle people.

As the head of the Liu family, Liu Mingyuan is over eighty years old. In the eyes of many people, this is an old man with the same elegant scholarly temperament as his father. And his title was also inherited from the last imperial minister.

In the past, when he was in power, whether it was the magnates on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River or some magnates in the empire, they all had a trace of respect for the Liu family. But as he took refuge with this, the old nobleman of the Liu family seemed to be gradually forgotten.

Especially in the current Yanhuang Empire, the parliament controlled by civilians has increased its discourse. With the rise of emerging families and young aristocrats, the Liu family is already an old noble family in the eyes of many people.

It is said that 'there are no more than three generations of wealth', and the biggest problem of the Liu family at present is not that the family does not have the support of the elderly. What's more, there is still no one in the Liu family to carry the Ding. In addition, the eldest son did not succeed and became a businessman, and he was even more despised.

In fact, Liu Siya's father has not been in politics. It's a pity that this son of the Liu family has no talent for politics at all. Not long after he entered the political arena, he was designed to ruin his path to politics, and he had to embark on the road of doing business.

If you don't work hard in politics. A merchant with the status of an earl will also not be taken seriously by the powerful. In many cases, officials at the provincial and ministerial levels can ignore his existence.

If it is General Liu Mingyuan, he will be honored. If it is not passed on to Liu Siya's father, then according to the imperial aristocratic inheritance system, his title will be reduced by two levels. The title of a viscount will also not bring much benefit to the Liu family who are engaged in politics.

In a word. No matter who Liu Mingyuan's title will pass on to in the future, in the eyes of many people, the Liu family is destined to decline. With the extension of time, the Liu family, an old family in the south of the Yangtze River, will also slowly sink into the development wave of Yanhuang and be forgotten.

For the granddaughter who returned to the old house to live with him after the end of his studies, Liu Mingyuan naturally likes it in his heart. But he also knew that when he grew old that day, the future of this granddaughter was worrying.

looked at Liu Siya, who walked outside the house and chatted with people with her mobile phone. As a grandfather, Liu Mingyuan seems to be curious about who she is chatting with. Especially the expression on his granddaughter's face made Liu Mingyuan even more curious.

So much so that Liu Siya, who walked into the living room and continued to drink tea with her grandfather, soon heard Liu Mingyuan smile and say, "Girl, who are you chatting with?" Still hiding from grandpa, don't you want grandpa to know? Is it a boy? ”

Three questions in a row made Liu Siya blush slightly: "Grandpa, it's a classmate!" Drink tea, if you don't drink it, it will be cold. ”

'You girl. Don't change the subject, if grandpa lives here, he won't know anything? The last time your second uncle came to see me, he mentioned a boy to me. I heard that it was your classmate. That kid, what kind of family background? ’

'Grandpa! I really have nothing to do with him, it's just an ordinary classmate relationship. The second uncle is too, how can you guess! ’

Listening to Liu Siya's coquettish expression, Liu Mingyuan also smiled and said, "Really? Ordinary classmates, really ordinary classmates. Then why are you afraid of what your second uncle says? You know, the novels he wrote, grandpa also read! ”

After saying something, Liu Siya also said helplessly: "Grandpa, I really have an ordinary classmate relationship with him now." It's not that you don't know that in my current situation, there are some things that can be decided by yourself! ”

Thinking that as the granddaughter of the Liu family, Liu Siya, who is bound to be unable to choose freely in her future marriage, also looked a little lost. And these words made Liu Mingyuan see that this granddaughter with an indifferent appearance was afraid that her heart was budding.

So he continued to smile and said, "So, do you really have a crush on that boy?" ”

Faced with this inquiry, Liu Siya wanted to continue to explain. But she knew that in front of this grandfather, there were some things that could not be hidden. If she doesn't even support her grandfather, she is afraid that she will really have no nostalgia in this family.

Looking at Liu Siya, who was silent with a hint of shyness, Liu Mingyuan, who was very old-fashioned and cold in front of his sons, smiled like an old naughty boy at the moment: "It seems that I guessed correctly, our maid is really cute!" ”

'Grandpa! ’

Liu Siya, who was teased, seemed to know that this grandfather was a little different in front of her than in front of the rest of the family. If grandpa is really old-fashioned and cold, I'm afraid that she won't have a holiday, so she lives with this grandfather.

As a result, Liu Mingyuan was still very interested and said, "That kid, do you know your situation?" ”

Seeing that her grandfather didn't seem to be strict with her preaching, Liu Siya, who also wanted to know this old man's opinion on this kind of thing, thought for a while and said, "You should know!" However, he never expressed himself in front of me, and always treated me as an ordinary girl. ”

What is the reasoning? ’

Liu Mingyuan, who was very curious and asked again, soon heard Liu Siya say: "Grandpa, the boy who lives with him is the granddaughter of the Mongolian Teng family. Although he is not a son-in-law, he is also the son of the lieutenant general of the Teng family.

My guess is that guy must have told him something about me. Even, Tian Tian's situation was sued by that guy. It's just that he doesn't seem to care much about my identity and Tiantian's identity.

When he got along with us, he really only treated us as ordinary classmates. Even when it comes to signing a contract with Tian Tian, he seems to be very businesslike. didn't give Tiantian any discount just because she was Uncle Zhao's daughter.

Although he is only a little older than me, he still has a bit of a literati arrogance in his bones. I've also heard him say that if you take identity too seriously, it's sometimes a burden. I think he knows my family background! ”

Did he confess to you? ’

Liu Siya, who said such a call, didn't expect her grandfather to suddenly ask such a sentence. But she ended up blushing and shaking her head slightly. In fact, she sometimes feels a little regretful.

Just when Liu Mingyuan was about to speak, Liu Siya said with rare boldness: "Grandpa, I know what you want to ask." He and I are really ordinary classmates and friends now. If you like it, it's a bit premature.

I don't deny that when I was in contact with him, I felt very comfortable. Although this guy sometimes seems a little arrogant, he is really a very considerate and gentlemanly boy. Unlike the boys I knew before, they only valued my family background or beauty.

And I can feel it somewhat, he should have a crush on me. If it weren't for the fact that some time ago, I collaborated with him to shoot a MV, I guess I would still keep my distance from him and get along as classmates!

Although we are not officially in a relationship now, I think he should know that with my status, it is only difficult to want to be in a free relationship. If he wants to pursue me, it probably won't be so easy. ”

If he confessed to you, would you say yes? ’

Another ridiculous inquiry, Liu Siya was stunned, and said a little tangled: "I don't know!" But I knew that if I agreed to have a relationship with him, it would not do him any good.

Grandpa, you should know that the vixen will not allow this kind of thing to happen. In her eyes, I am a flag for her to climb to power. If you hadn't protected me, I guess I would have been sold by her to someone else by now. ”

Knowing who the so-called 'fox spirit' in Liu Siya's mouth was, Liu Mingyuan also said with a hint of anger: "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet!" This Liu family, she can't be the master yet. But what do you really think of that kid? ”

From these words, Liu Siya heard a hint of agreement, and said happily: "Grandpa, don't you think he is a commoner?" ”

As a result, Liu Mingyuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with the civilians?" Didn't your grandfather also be a civilian scholar? Our Liu family has the current status, isn't it because your grandfather has the support of the common people?

Now these nobles of the empire feel that their status is superior. But counting back three generations, how many real nobles are there? Without these commoners of the Empire, these nobles are nothing. You're a grandfather, you're so old and confused.

It's just that you have to know that there are really few people in this family who are worthy of grandpa's attention. You girl, kiss me. As long as you can live happily, grandpa will smile even if he closes his eyes. But only if he can really give you happiness.

If you want to marry such a beautiful and virtuous granddaughter as me, if you don't have any real skills, I won't agree. So, if he really wants to marry you, he also needs to make some achievements to show me.

With his current achievements alone, grandpa still doesn't look at it. Still, Grandpa recognizes your current attitude towards love. If he really loves you, give him a little time to test, and it should be. You tell me? ”

The words made Liu Siya feel shy, but also very moved. As Liu Mingyuan said, if this big Liu family, how many people are worthy of Liu Siya's attention?

As long as grandpa doesn't object, Liu Siya is fearless. Even if in the end, what if everyone in the Liu family opposes it? The identity of the granddaughter of the Liu family, in fact, she does not cherish it very much. If she leaves Liu's house, she will not starve to death.

But she also understands that Yu Wenle wants to pass the test of this grandfather, but she is afraid that she will have to continue to work hard. With his current achievements alone, he really won't be valued by an old marquis like Liu Mingyuan. Is he willing to accept the test of the family for himself? (To be continued.) )
