About seventy or eighty kilometers southwest of the suburbs of Felton is a huge complex of buildings built next to a small lake. Red bricks and porcelain tiles, corner towers and cornices, layers of antique buildings, live out of the ancient palaces. On the periphery of these palaces, there is actually a huge city wall tens of meters high and more than ten meters thick, which surrounds these palace groups by the small lake. If it weren't for the scattered hovering chariots that sped back and forth over the city walls, and the occasional melee fighter that flew over the palace complex, anyone would have thought they had traveled back in time.

This is the palace that Bertleme, the new owner of St. Prolis, built for himself and his family on the outskirts of the city. Bertreum gave it a very retro name, called Zhangtai. The origin of the name is said to be based on a summer palace built for himself by the king of an unusually powerful country in ancient times.

Zhangtai was built in a low-lying river valley, and the "small lake" was not actually a lake in the real sense, but a small river beach that flowed through this valley and converged in the low-lying area next to Zhangtai Palace. Bertelem ordered the beach to be expanded into an artificial lake, and an almost completely retro palace complex was built next to the lake.

In addition to facing the lake on one side, the other three sides of Zhangtai are wide and flat grassland terrain. Obviously, these "steppes" are also artificially formed. The grassland on three sides extends in the shape of a bowl to the surrounding areas, followed by a dense jungle. A wide locomotive track, like a barber's razor, plows through the jungle to another high-speed locomotive beyond the valley. With mountains and rivers, complex jungle terrain and the natural cover of river valleys, Zhangtai Palace is also unique, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Within the tall walls of Zhangtai Palace, there are a total of 9981 palace pavilions of different sizes. Centered on the two huge circular buildings in the middle, one black and one white, the remaining palace pavilions are densely arranged with a labyrinth-like building formation, so that the people in it are dazzled and unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. If there is someone who knows how to look down on this Zhangtai Palace from a high altitude, he will definitely be surprised. Because the entire building complex of Zhangtai Palace is actually arranged in a long-lost formation called Bagua Formation.

If you study it more closely, you will find that there is still some place in this chapter of Taigong that is in line with the theory of Feng Shui. The river valley where it is located runs east-west, high in the north and low in the south, no matter at any time, as long as there is the sun in the sky, it can shine on the Zhangtai Palace, plus the south faces the water, and the north faces the mountain, which has a saying in feng shui, called negative yin and yang, is an excellent feng shui treasure land, which can gather the aura between heaven and earth invisibly.

All in all, in any respect, the fact that such a palace can be built at least shows that Bertreum himself is quite accomplished in all kinds of ancient theories that are secretly in line with heavenly principles. In the highly developed human society of modern science and technology, there is almost no one who is as proficient in various ancient and quite idealistic doctrines as Bertreme, not to mention that he is still a high authority.

The palace was built only after Bertreme slowly gained de facto control of the entire St. Proli district. It took nearly ten years to build, and the pace of construction was extremely slow, but it can also be called quite delicate. After it was built, Bertrem moved his immediate and collateral family members, as well as some of his clansmen, into this palace.

After he became the veritable owner of St. Prolis's district, Bertreum moved into the new Prime Minister's House in downtown Felton. Most of his people also moved into the city with convenient transportation and life, but the palace was not abandoned. Many people still live there, even Bertreme's mother, wife, and youngest daughter, who have remained in this palace. As a result, Bertreum has developed a habit of returning here every weekend and holiday to reunite with his relatives and share some family fun.

The black round palace in the center of Zhangtai Palace has a huge plaque that reads Jiaofang Palace. This is where the Bethleum ladies live.

"I don't do it, why do you have to ask me to marry that Jeff, I don't know him well!" At noon on this day, a young woman's shrill roar suddenly came from the Jiaofang Palace. The roar of "Sound Vibrating the World" seemed to be faintly filled with great resentment: "So many cousins and cousins, weishenme won't let them marry?" If you say that if I don't marry, I won't marry, don't force me to run away from home! ”

This "bold remark" attracted the sideways glances of the servants who were wandering inside and outside the Jiaofang Palace, but they were obviously accustomed to such a scene, so they just smiled at each other and went about their work.

"Lin'er, can you stop being so careless all the time?" In a huge and antique dormitory in the Jiaofang Palace, a middle-aged woman with a haggard face half-lying on the couch frowned at a young woman sitting at a round table not far from the bed, and whispered reproach: "Seeing that you are almost twenty years old, it is time to find a good family to marry." How could your father and I hurt you, although this young man Jeff has a slightly bad temper, he is still a promising young man. If you want to marry him, it will be considered a ......" As she was speaking, the middle-aged woman suddenly coughed.

"Mom......" The young woman originally had an angry look, and she could see the sickness of the middle-aged woman, probably because she couldn't bear it, twisted her body like a little girl coquettishly, and said in a long voice.

"Lin'er, you have also seen it, Mom's sick old bones, I don't know how long it can last. You should do a good job, so that before your mother leaves, can you see you happily marrying, and then give your mother a chubby little grandson? The middle-aged woman relieved herself, sighed softly, and nephrite begged, "Is it okay for mom to beg you?" ”

"Okay, let me think about it first, okay?" Seeing that all the words had come to this, the young woman reluctantly gave in and said, "Give me some time to think about it, Mom!" Besides, I've just turned nineteen this year, and I don't want to get married so early, so can you just let me play for two years? Also, don't talk nonsense anymore, what can last as long, be careful that I sue Dad! The doctors have said that you are just an old cold disease, as long as you take care of it and recuperate! ”

"Hey, okay!" The middle-aged woman probably knew that she couldn't force this young woman anymore, so she sighed lightly and said, "But then again, you should also need some time to change your eldest lady's temper!" Don't run away from home all the time, do you know how worried you and my father were last time! We ......"

"Mom, you're here again......" The middle-aged woman was interrupted by the young woman before she finished speaking, she got up and sat down on the edge of the middle-aged woman's bed, took the middle-aged woman's somewhat thin hand, and said coquettishly: "I'm not forced by you, my nineteenth birthday hasn't come yet, and I was forced by you to get married." How can there be parents like you? It's so bad that I can only spend my birthday alone outside, and you have to compensate me! ”

"Okay, compensate you, compensate you!" The middle-aged woman smiled comfortably, gently took the young woman's tender hand in her hand, and asked kindly, "Come, tell your mother how you spent your birthday outside by yourself?" How's it going, are you doing well? Have you ever met any bad guys? Didn't get bullied, right? With that, the mother and daughter chatted with me one by one.

The mother and daughter were none other than Bertreme's wife, Monica, and his daughter, Irene. Monica is the daughter of Admiral Lucas, the former deputy commander of the local garrison in the St. Prolis District, and because of her special status, her marriage with Bertreum has a somewhat political flavor in the eyes of outsiders. However, in fact, Monica and Bertreme's acquaintance and love were not deliberately arranged by outsiders, and the final union of the two can also be said to be a fate destined by God.

When she was young, Monica's temper was also quite hot, although she had a delicate face, her temperament was incompatible with her appearance. At every turn, he is out of order, and when he says a word that he doesn't get along with others, he scolds at best, or he directly rolls up his sleeves and staging a good show of shrew fighting. Therefore, the young and beautiful Monica made many young masters who wanted to worship under her pomegranate skirt "flee from the wind". Zuihou, Admiral Lucas had no choice but to send Monica to the local army, hoping to sharpen her fiery temper.

After enlisting in the army, Monica happened to meet Bertreme, who was serving in the same unit. At that time, Bertreum was also going to the army for two years to hone in the army, according to the wishes of his fathers. The two first fought because of a misunderstanding, and then they didn't know each other, and slowly got to know each other, and then there was a spark of aiqing.

After marrying Bertrane, Monica's temper has subsided a lot, especially after having Irene. However, not long after leaving little Irene, Monica had a serious illness, and since then she has fallen ill, not only can she not have children again, but her health has even deteriorated. However, Bertrim did not alienate the two mothers and daughters because of this, but loved them even more. And in order not to let them be wronged, Bertreum even rejected the advice of the family elders to marry another daughter and give birth to a "dragon seed".

As the only daughter of Bertrane, after Erin became sensible, not only was she not inferior to her mother in beauty, but she even had a temper. Erin, who has a more fiery temper, has become Monica and Bertrim's heart disease, but because she is an only daughter, both of them are reluctant to discipline strictly, and in addition to scolding and scolding on weekdays, they are reluctant to even slap them.

A while ago, Bertreum decided to marry Erin to Jeff, a young right-hand man he had always admired. However, Erin didn't like Jeff and resented the marriage that her father had appointed. In a fit of anger, this eldest lady actually ran away from home and actually ran to the Poole Star Zone tens of millions of light years away to take a walk.

"What? You said you were actually bullied by a few street thugs? Hearing Erin say that when she was in Eder Planet Sadler City in the Poole Star District, when she met a few street thugs who tried to do something to her, Monica, who had been sick and bedridden for a long time, was like a different person, screaming and scolding, and wanted to struggle to get out of bed: "Holy shit, I don't want to live anymore!" No, I'll ask your father to send some people to arrest those life-threatening thugs!" actually bullied the old lady and girl! ”

"Mom, don't get excited! Listen to me! Erin grabbed Monica in a coquettish voice, and then said: "At that moment, two young men, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, came to my rescue!" They ......," said Erin, who recounted in detail how she had been saved.

"Oh? Do you remember the names of the two young men who saved you? After listening, Monica breathed a sigh of relief and asked again with a smile.

"They seem to be called...... Uh, Mom, I don't even think I even forgot to ask their names! Erin tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, but she never remembered.
