The closer the car was to the Ye family's mansion, the calmer Lingse's heart became, and the calmer his demeanor became. No longer as flustered and helpless as when I first learned that I was going to see the old man. She has this trait, the more difficult it is, the more calm she is. You can't hide horizontally or vertically, so what's the meaning of trembling? It's better to accept it openly.

In danger? It can barely be described by this idiom.

On the other hand, Bai Jingjing, the closer she was to the Ye family's mansion, the paler her face became, and her expressionless face looked a little scary. Of course, it can also bluff people. Anyway, from the outside, Bai Jingjing also has a little bit of Taishan collapsing in front of her and her face does not change. It's just that Lingse knows her very well.

Secretary Bai, the more nervous she is, the more expressionless she becomes. Use disguised composure to hide your inner uneasiness.

"Young lady, Miss Bai, please get out of the car." The driver opened the door for the two of them and stood respectfully next to the door.

Lingse shook Bai Jingjing's right hand, and his calm voice revealed a reassuring aura.

She said: "It's okay, you've seen the old man at the auction, he's not the kind of dictator. I think the old man will come to you, but appreciate your performance. Jingjing, believe me, you just have to be the usual you, and you'll be fine. ”

"Really?" Bai Jingjing looked over suspiciously.

Lingse nodded with special certainty, "Really! You trust me! ”

"Director......" Bai Jingjing sighed slightly, and said softly: "I also relied on the large number of people at the auction that day, and there was a power director by my side, so I dared to talk to the old man." Now I was called to meet at home by the old man alone, to be honest, my heart is really bottomless. ”

Lingse smiled bitterly, Jingjing has no bottom in her heart, does she have a bottom in her heart? What is Jingjing worried about, she is not the granddaughter-in-law of the old man, and the person who married Ye Chengshu is not Jingjing. What can the old man do with her? It is estimated that she admired Jingjing's performance at the auction that day, so she was called here today.

But what about her?

The bitterness at the corners of Lingse's mouth deepened a lot. The old man deliberately chose to meet her when there was no Ye Chengshu, she was the one who should be most worried. When the old man came to her, in addition to talking about the punishment of the Gu and Zhao families after the auction that day, more importantly, the old man would definitely test whether her grandson-in-law was qualified enough.

At the auction that day, the old man's gesture had done enough. He did admit that she was the granddaughter-in-law. Acknowledging and accepting are two different things. If you want the old man to fully accept her and treat her as a member of the Ye family, I'm afraid she still has a long way to go.

Today's meeting is a difficult road!

But now, it's useless to talk about these things and think about them. I just don't want to. What should come, will come. She couldn't hide. Seeing the old man, she will have to go through it sooner or later. As Ye Chengshu said, it is better to come early than late, and it is the best policy to solve it at one time.

"Okay Jingjing, stop talking nonsense. Let's hurry up and get in, don't make the old man wait for a long time. ”

When I raised my wrist, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. They were already late. Bai Jingjing sighed and said faintly: "I was late for the first time I officially met the old man." Director, I'm afraid it's not good for you. ”

Without waiting for Lingse to speak, the driver smiled and said, "Young lady, you don't have to worry about this. The old man won't blame you. ”

Lingse nodded, they arrived at the military compound at half past two. However, there is no pass, and it has been checked many times. Even the driver spoke, saying that she was the young lady of the Ye family, and it was useless. The orderly had to check three times and recheck anyone who didn't have a pass. After checking the ID card, not to mention, but also to make a record. If it weren't for the old man personally calling the door to let them go, I'm afraid they would still be being inspected at the door.

So being late at this point, Lingse wasn't too worried. What she is worried about is the question that the old man will say after she goes to see the old man.

Back then, the old man could use a few words to lightly force away Ye Chengshu's first love, so that the relationship that they had been in love for so many years collapsed and was crushed overnight. You can imagine how powerful the old man's mouth is. She really doesn't have the confidence to withstand the old man's 'indiscriminate bombardment'!

After getting out of the car, I still have to walk some distance to reach the main residence of the Ye family's mansion, which is where the old man is.

It is worthy of being the Ye family's mansion for a hundred years, and the Ye family's mansion is a bit outrageous. At a glance, there is no end in sight. To put it simply, the Ye family's mansion is divided into five parts. They are all separate villas. A Ye family mansion is composed of a group of villas.

The main house in the center is where the old man lives. With the main house as the center, on the left hand side is the independent villa where Ye Nanchuan and his wife live. On the right hand side is Ye Chengshu's independent villa, but because he is not in Jiangnan Province all the year round, this villa has been vacant for a long time, and only servants clean it every day, and no one lives there. Next to Ye Chengshu's villa is Ye Chenghuan's villa. But she doesn't often live in her own villa, and outside, Ye Chenghuan also has her own apartment. And if she goes back to the Ye family's mansion, she will accompany the old man to live more in the main mansion. The last detached villa, relatively small in size, is directly behind the main house. That's where the domestic servants live. It is close to the old man's main house, which is convenient to take care of the old man.

The place where the car stopped was the door of Ye Chenghuan's villa. From here, you want the main house of the Ye family, and it takes about five minutes to walk briskly. It is conceivable how vast the Ye family's mansion is.

"Young lady, I will send you here. Once inside, a butler will take you to meet the old man. The driver stood in front of the doorway of the house and went no further.

"Thank you." Lingse greeted the driver, and then stepped into the Ye family's main house with Bai Jingjing.

As soon as I entered, I first saw a rockery, which was very large and very high. It has to be about three or five meters. There is also gurgling water meandering down from the rockery, full of antique flavor. On the rockery, there are two big characters on the book, the Ye family. The majesty is natural, elegant and fragrant, and it is also blowing in the face.

It seems that the old man is a vassal and elegant person. The design style of the main house is completely different from the two villas they saw just now. Ye Chengshu and Ye Chenghuan's villas have been extensively modified. It is the most common kind of Chinese garden-style villa. The main house is no longer like a villa, but more like an ancient royal garden.

Quiet and elegant, chic atmosphere.

The rockery is located in the middle of the vestibule, and there is a small lotus pond on the right-hand side. It is said to be small, but in Lingse's opinion, its area is also the size of a basketball court. On the left hand side of the rockery, there is a pavilion with a red roof, a dark red column, and a gold-edged pavilion. In the pavilion is a stone table with five stone chairs next to it. From the heights, it is in the shape of a plum blossom. Faintly, there seems to be a word engraved on the stone table. Lingse didn't go out of his way to look at it, and he could probably guess what the word was. What else could it be besides leaf characters?

After passing through the rockery, you can see the outline of the main house. Why Silhouette? That's because, in front of the main house, there is also a screen. Lingse reached out and touched it, and knew that it was a screen made of the most expensive sandalwood. Moreover, it is also the best Indian old sandalwood among them. In the early years, Quan Zimo made a group of friends with antique jade and gemstones. At that time, the price of sandalwood was about 100,000 US dollars per gram. By now, the price must have multiplied.

According to Lingse's visual inspection, this screen runs through the left and right sides of the main house. At least a ton of sandalwood is used. This is not to mention the exquisite pattern carved on it, this carved pattern, but also a lot of sandalwood. The most conservative estimate is that the price of this sandalwood screen alone can buy at least two villas in the South Palace. And it is also the calculation of the lowest price of sandalwood.

Before he officially entered the main house, Lingse's legs and stomach were already trembling. At first glance, there is no gold at all, and there is no exaggerated and expensive furnishings. But everywhere, it reveals the depth of the Ye family's foundation and the strength of the family.

In the past, she only thought that the Ye family was a big family in Jiangnan Province. Ye Chengshu is only a special assistant in the province and the eldest son of the Ye family. But it wasn't until Lingse really entered the Ye family's mansion that she understood. What a real wealthy family looks like. What a real scholarly family, and what a style.

Nowadays, the media always advertises some giants, but have they really seen giants? At least, the aura had not been seen before today. She followed Quan Zimo, and she can be regarded as having seen a lot of the world. There are big people in Jiangnan Province, and she has also dealt with them. It's not like she's never seen a mansion. But after seeing the Ye family's mansion, she really understood that a wealthy family with a deep heritage should be like this.

The South Palace is luxurious enough, isn't it? Compared with the Ye family's mansion, it looks like a rough house. Shabby to the extreme. No wonder Ye Chengshu always said that she was making too much of a fuss, and she was scared half to death in just one southern palace. When she really went to the Ye family's mansion, she wouldn't faint on the spot. Now, Lingse also understood Ye Chengshu's words.

Living in such an environment since childhood, let alone the South Palace, it is ten hundred South Palaces in front of him, and Ye Chengshu will definitely not even raise his eyelids. It's too petty.

The impact of this house on Lingqi was not small, and for Bai Jingjing, the attack was even more violent. In any case, Lingse is still from the Gu family, and he is barely a big family in Jiangnan Province. But Bai Jingjing, that is definitely an ordinary person from an ordinary well-off family. When she went to the South Palace as a guest, she also tried her best to restrain herself, so she was not ashamed.

If you don't experience it yourself, and you are in such an environment, I am afraid that the sense of shock will not be experienced by one thousandth. It's like if you've never been to Huashan, just look at the pictures on the Internet and hear people say that you won't know the steepness and beauty of Huashan. You can only understand it by experiencing it yourself.

"Director, I kind of want to escape......" Bai Jingjing held Ling's hand tightly, and she didn't know what to do or expression on her shocked face.

Lingsehui held Secretary Bai's hand, pondered, and said strongly: "Jingjing, what are you afraid of?" Why run away? We are not thieves who come to steal things, we are guests invited by the old man. Since you are a guest, then take on the appearance of being a guest. Jingjing, remember, you can't embarrass Bu Meiya, let alone Quan Dong. ”

Secretary Bai, who has always been smart and clever, didn't react a little this time, frowned, and looked over in confusion, "Why do you embarrass Director Quan?" ”

Lingse lifted his lips and smiled, looking ahead, his back straight, step by step, walking very firmly.

Her calmness and composure also relieved Secretary Bai's nervousness to a certain extent.

She said, "Jingjing, have you forgotten?" I'm a groggy person who remembers, if you forget, it's really a hit. At the auction that day, Quan Zimo praised you to the sky. He praised you in front of the old man like that, you can't embarrass him. ”

Bai Jingjing bit her lip, and silently recited Quan Zimo's name in her heart to cheer herself up.

"Yes, I just embarrass myself, and I can't embarrass Quan Dong!" It's only about Quan Zimo, no matter how afraid Bai Jingjing is, then he won't be afraid.

Is this the power of love great?

Lingse smiled and shook his head, who knows. She wasn't sure if Bai Jingjing really liked Quan Zimo. This news was still what she heard from Ye Chengshu. As for whether it is true or not, she has reservations. If Jingjing really likes Quan Zimo, how could she not feel it at all?

Quan Zimo's name was silently recited a few times, and then recalled the frivolous and merry face in his mind. Bai Jingjing was indeed not so afraid, she hid the doubts at the corners of her eyes, lowered her voice and asked: "Director, didn't the crash just now say that there will be a housekeeper to lead the way when we come in, why are we all about to walk to the door of the main mansion, but we haven't even seen a mouse?" ”

Lingse shook his eyelids and looked around. Indeed, it was a little too quiet. It stands to reason that there must be birds or something in such an ancient royal garden-style house. But she didn't hear any birds.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

She never dared to forget this sentence. The only explanation, I'm afraid, is only that.

Dismount.

The old man must be secretly watching their every move. Talking face-to-face can understand the other person's personality to a certain extent. But what if the other party is prepared and disguises himself with perfection? Then, by observing in the dark, you can see through a person's personality and character more accurately.

The old man would behave like this, and Lingse didn't find it strange at all. If not, she would be wondering.

smiled indifferently, and the aura did not break, but said: "Jingjing, if you see a mouse in the Ye family's mansion, you will die." Patting the back of Bai Jingjing's hand, she said comfortingly: "Just like I told you just now, it's good to be normal." Because the usual white secretary is already very good, isn't it? ”

Bai Jingjing slowed down, tilted her head sideways and looked at Lingxi for a long time. Lingse didn't ask, just let her watch.

After a long time, Bai Jingjing retracted her gaze and said softly: "Director, you are very different from before. ”

"What's the difference?" Lingse asked casually.
