In the southeast of the Tianshuang Empire is a hill, in this not towering mountains, there is a city with a white body, because of its abundant water sources, the climate is also very suitable, so the food is abundant, and the mineral resources are also very rich, so it is very rich, is one of the five main cities of the Tianshuang Empire.

Half a month later, Duke Xue, who was about to return to his territory after participating in the old city lord's seventieth birthday, entered the jurisdiction of his own territory after half a month.

Compared with the group of five people when they went, Duke Xue and Duchess and the two maidens and their butlers had one more Ling Meng at this time.

After being rescued that day, because the housekeeper man planned to adopt him, he left with Ling Meng.

At first, due to his weak body, Ling Meng lay in the carriage for a few days, until under the influence of medicine and food, it didn't take long for him to get out of bed and walk around.

The duke was very elegant and handsome, and he was very peaceful, with snow-white neat hair and blue eyes, which seemed to be peculiar to their family. And Madame was very dignified and atmospheric, and when she looked at Ling Meng gently, she would give him a feeling of being watched by his mother. The two girls seem to have inherited the characteristics of the family, both have long snow-white hair and blue eyes, one is very sweet and lovely, and the other is very dignified and beautiful at a young age.

After knowing what happened to Ling Meng, when he and the duke met each other, the duke would always smile back, while the lady was much kinder and would always shush him and ask for warmth, but this made Ling Meng very uncomfortable, so he spent most of his time sitting outside with the man silently watching the route of the carriage.

Because of the official road that has been walking, and there are four strong horses, the speed is very fast, at noon you can already see the white city wall in the distance, and behind the city wall is also a piece of white brick and stone houses, very delicate, without the rough feeling of the north.

"How do you feel?" The man began to feel happy as he looked at the town ahead.

"Very beautiful......

The noon sun made the city whiter and whiter, and the white town made the sky bluer, and every house was planted with a kind of vine vegetation that was dark green even in winter, and it was full of white flowers, so that even though it was still winter, the city had begun to exude amazing vitality, which made Ling Meng, who was still in a very low mood, also feel a little comforted......

Under the salute of a column of guards, the carriage passed through the tall city gate, and Ling Meng noticed that in addition to the guards, many passers-by would also salute the carriage. I am a very respectable person, can I stay with them? Although I knew that their status was very noble at the beginning, I didn't feel it too intuitively, but now it's too intuitive......

"This flower is unique to Baiyu City, it will only bloom in winter, the colder the climate, the more vigorous it will bloom, and it will not wither all winter, do you see those bees, they will only collect the nectar of Snow Gladiolus, this honey has a very significant effect on cold resistance and refreshment......"

Smelling the faint and unique fragrance of the Snow Sword Flower, and listening to Uncle Wang's (housekeeper)'s calm and enthusiastic words, Ling Meng's nervous and uneasy heart was soothed......

After entering the city, the speed of the carriage was not very fast, and after running along the main road for an hour, a large river dozens of meters wide appeared in front of it, which was connected to the opposite side by a bridge, and the houses on that side were obviously taller and more ornate, graceful and magnificent. At the end of the high road was a graceful iron gate forged into a collection of snow sword flowers, and next to it was a group of ten guards, and next to the guards was a towering iron fence covered with snow sword flowers, and behind the fence was a hill, and on the side of the hill was a magnificent castle...... It was a castle that Ling Meng couldn't have imagined even in the story, the whole body was snow-white, that is, magnificent and beautiful, like a giant on that mountain, looking down on the entire White Jade City.

When the guards saw their carriage, they opened the iron gate and entered the manor, which was a small world of its own, with rivers, small lakes, evergreen trees, and even many animals, and a large number of tall and orderly houses and playgrounds on this side, and a huge horse park on the other......

"Pilot-" Grabbing the reins in his hand, the carriage stopped at the gate of the castle, Zhencheng jumped from the driver's seat, handed the reins to the attendant on the side, and hugged Ling Meng down. The door of the carriage next to him also opened quickly, and the Duke also got out of the carriage and stretched, "Ah, it's back, it's not so far out of the door." ”

"Yes. The Duchess said as she helped her lively daughter to arrange her clothes, "It must have been fifteen years." ”

"yes, fifteen years. ”

At Zhencheng's signal, Ling Meng followed them with some cringe.

The castle is very large, the base has four floors, there are two halls, one for banquets, and one hundred guest rooms, the main colors of the castle are white and red, and the lighting is very good, but although the castle is large, there are not many servants, so that it is a little deserted.

After entering the door, a group of people went straight up from the circular staircase next to it, the stairs were very wide, and several people side by side would not seem crowded, from time to time through the window Ling Meng could see a large number of houses under the mountain and the mountains beyond, and the slightly cold breeze blew through the window was also very comfortable.

After ascending to the top floor, the top of the castle is divided into three areas, in a stepped shape from low to high, which are the area where the five-story servants and some guards and members of the side line of the Snow family live, the area where the important management and important members of the Snow family live on the sixth floor, and the area where the direct family of the Snow family lives on the seventh floor.

The houses of the fifth were relatively dense and cramped, with only two floors, and the houses of the six floors began to have a common garden, and the houses began to spread out and were relatively wide and three storeys high.

There are seven houses, and in addition to their own garden, there is also a bridge that connects to the top of the hill next to it, where you can rest and look.

"Fortunately, Zhencheng has suffered, and while there are not many things recently, let's sit down more. ”

"Good. ”

"Ling Meng, goodbye, if you have time, you have to come over to play. The sweet-looking and lively girl named Xue Ling, who was also the duke's daughter, smiled and said goodbye to Ling Meng.

Ling Meng was a little embarrassed, so much so that he didn't dare to look at her.

After the Duke and the others left, Zhencheng took Ling Meng and walked towards his house, which was a house on the side of the sixth floor, in a position with a good view.

At the link between the seventh and sixth floors, there is a long staircase to go down, without the cover of the wall, Ling Meng looked into the distance in a daze, it was a completely different scenery from his hometown, it was impossible to say who was superior and who was inferior, but at this moment he was fascinated, and Zhencheng did not urge him, but looked into the distance with him.

"I'm sorry......" Ling Meng, who came back to his senses, hurriedly apologized to Zhencheng.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" said Quakejo with pride.

"Yes. ”

"Miss is very cute, isn't she?"

“......”

"Do you want to be by her side?"

"I don't really understand ......"

"Hehe, it's too early to say that, let's go. As if seeing Ling Meng's shyness, Zhencheng didn't continue to tease him.

Along the way, Zhencheng met a lot of acquaintances, and they separated with a few casual greetings, as the security manager of this manor, his strength is also one of the best, and he is a figure that cannot be ignored in this second district.

Pushing open the house, which had been uninhabited for more than a month, in addition to being deserted, a layer of dust that was not thick was piled up.

"Sit down, I'm going to find someone to clean the house, and you're waiting for me here. ”

After instructing Ling Meng, Zhencheng left the room again. Since he was used to living alone, he didn't hire a maid of his own, but now that there was one more person, he had to find a maid to take care of him.

After finding the head maid in the room on the fourth floor, let her help call the two maids to help get rid of the hygiene, and by the way, let her help him find a more experienced exclusive maid, in addition to three meals a day, I thought I had to teach Ling Meng to read.

"By the way, help me prepare some food, I just came back and haven't come here in a hurry, and I'll have to see if there are any things that need to be dealt with during this time. Didn't have time to do it yourself. ”

"No problem. As for the experienced maid you need, there is no one for the time being. But there is one who can teach and read, and people are also smart and clever, but they are not very old and may lack some experience, what do you think?"

"Uh- I need her to help me with my child, a six or seven year old, do you think she can do it?"

"If it's six or seven years old, I don't think it's too much of a problem. ”

"Okay, then you look at the arrangement, I'll go back first. ”

"Okay, this child's name is 'Summer Night' and I'll let her pass later, she's my sister's child, please take care of her. ”

"Yes, since it's your loved one's child, it would be nice for her to make it her home. ”

"The adult's reputation has always been very good, so I'm here to thank you for the child on a summer night. ”

"You're welcome, everyone who lives here is a family, we serve the Duke's family together, and only when we are in harmony with the Duke's family will it be stable. ”

The head maid nodded in agreement.

Leaving the head maid's office, Zhencheng returned to his room, while Ling Meng sat there and hadn't moved much since Zhencheng left.

"Relax little one, no one will do anything to you, treat this place as your home, you're going to spend the next year. As he spoke, he came to Ling Meng's side and put his hand on Ling Meng's back......

"Well—you're very good, and you're very talented. Opening his eyes, Zhencheng said happily. Just as he felt at the beginning, Ling Meng's compatibility with spiritual power was very good, and like him, he was the kind of talent that was unique in a million, you would definitely shine like me......

"There is a strange energy in this world that can be absorbed by living beings to exert unimaginable power. Because Ling Meng looked a little confused, Zhencheng began to explain to him. "This ability is not available to everyone, and the efficiency of obtaining it is also very slow, but there are some places where there will be more energy and people can absorb it more easily, but this kind of place is very rare, and it is very dangerous. ”

"Roughly speaking, only one out of 10,000 people can get it, and it needs to be led to start this kind of practice. ”

"I'm going to train you to be my successor, but in the end it depends on your ability, do you want to move in this direction? ”

"If I can help you, it's all up to Uncle Wang's arrangement. ”

"I just think it's better for you, and if you find what you want to do in the future, you can tell me, don't think it's your only way out. ”

"Then I'll lead you through the door now. "There are some things he didn't say, for example, even if he didn't take Ling Meng to the entrance, the aura around him was already leaning towards him, even if he didn't do anything, sooner or later he would be able to comprehend it himself......
