The castle's dining room is not large, but the interior of the hall is very beautiful and elegant, with beautiful paintings on the walls, and a rectangular dining table in the center, which can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.

When Fang Shi and the others walked into the restaurant, there was already a dazzling array of food on the table, which looked extremely rich, and the tableware had been neatly arranged, just waiting for the meal, obviously all this had already been prepared.

Looking at the tempting food on the table, Fang Shi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, although he was not very hungry, but when he smelled the aroma of the food, his stomach was like a wave of hunger, which couldn't help but make him a little helpless.

Under the greeting of the old man Huang Shujian, Fang Shi and the others sat down one after another.

There were only six people in the small hall who sat down to eat, and there was no one else. Regarding the situation of the teacher Huang Shujian and the old man, Fang Shi heard from his senior sister Ye Zhiqiu in the snowflake company. When the old man was young, he once had a woman he loved, and at that time she was a mecha pilot of the empire like him, but unfortunately he died in the battle with the alliance, and then the old man devoted almost all his energy to the empire's mecha career, and until now he is still alone.

Fang Shi still admires his teacher Huang Shujian very much, and it is absolutely rare to see a person like him who can almost dedicate his life to the mecha vision, and the teacher Huang Shujian also has an extremely deep background - the Huang family, the head of the five major families of the empire.

The lunch was light-hearted, and a few people just had a brief exchange.

Fang Shi put down the utensils in his hand unsatisfied, and I have to say that the food tastes excellent, and it can definitely be compared to the food in those high-end restaurants. Even won by a few points.

Enjoying lunch, Fang Shi and the others sat down in a green grassy rest area outside the castle, sitting on comfortable seats, bathing in the mild sunshine, and the maid prepared afternoon tea and fruits next to them.

Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu accompanied the old man Huang Shujian to talk, and they did not talk about things related to mechas, but chatted about some light topics in daily life, such as the old man's recent living situation. Another example is the big manor where the old man lives.

Time flowed slowly, minute by minute.

The old man Huang Shujian looked at the blue sky with a pair of sunglasses. With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he said unhurriedly: "By the way, it will be my birthday in a few days, and the family is going to hold a birthday party for me." I also agreed. The event will be held at the Château de Manor. How about a few of you just stay in the manor for a few more days, and you can be regarded as spending more time with me, a lonely old man? ”

Su Feichen replied with a smile on his face: "Hehe." Absolutely. I still wish I could stay here with you for the rest of my life, the life here is extremely comfortable, and staying here is definitely enjoyable, as for the snowflake company, I just take a few more days off. ”

Old Man Huang Shujian glanced at Fang Shi, Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Lingyun, and asked, "What about you?" ”

Fang Shi and the three of them nodded immediately, after Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu completed the phantom mecha test, there was nothing urgent now, and it was naturally no problem to ask for a few more days off from the Snow Flower Company. As for Xiao Lingyun, it can be regarded as having enough time, when she left the Eastern Front before, she had already applied to her unit for a gap of nearly half a year, so naturally she didn't need to worry about anything.

Seeing this, the old man Huang Shujian showed a slight smile of satisfaction.

After resting for nearly an hour, Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu, under the leadership of the housekeeper Zhou Cang, got into a sightseeing-like car in the manor and walked around the manor where the teacher Huang Shujian lived.

The manor is indeed very large, if you take the castle as the central point, the surrounding radius can be several kilometers covered by the manor, and the various scenery inside the manor complement each other, and the environment is comfortable and beautiful.

Most of the manor is green meadow, only a small forest to the northwest, and two clear rivers run through the manor, the river is not wide, about three or four meters, and there are small bridges every 100 meters. In addition, there are some plantings in the estate, such as crop planting, flower planting, etc., of course, these plantings are not for any economic benefit, but purely for hobbies.

Visiting the whole manor, Fangshi and a few people almost spent nearly two hours, because the four people also got off the car to play for a period of time along the way, I have to say that this manor is really good, very suitable for the elderly to spend their old age here, so a few people can also rest assured.

In the next few days, Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu stayed in the manor.

The life of the manor is very comfortable and leisurely, but Fang Shi still has appropriate arrangements every day, for example, the morning exercise in the morning is not the slightest relaxation, first run on the green grass of the manor for about an hour, practice boxing, and then rush back to the castle to enjoy a delicious breakfast with the master.

As for the rest of the time, Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu will mainly accompany the teacher Huang Shujian and discuss some mecha-related topics. Although he is now a junior mech designer, there are still many areas of knowledge and experience that he needs to work, and there is still a long way to go. Of course, in addition to discussing mecha-related topics, there are many other topics, such as the war between the empire and the alliance, according to the judgment of teacher Huang Shujian, the current situation between the empire and the alliance seems to be becoming more and more tense, and the warships of the alliance have appeared in the hinterland of the empire, which is an extremely unusual thing, maybe the alliance has developed some new warships or found some special star field channel, otherwise how could the alliance's warships appear in the hinterland of the empire, It is very likely that there will be a new round of fierce war between the Empire and the Alliance.

The manor is also equipped with a variety of leisure facilities, including swimming pools, courts, fitness courts and other activity areas. Fang Shi occasionally spends some time in leisure sports, and there is a slight surprise that there is also a miniature machine combat simulation room built in the castle, although there are only two simulation control cabins, but he is quite surprised. He went in and tried a few times, including a few battles with Huang Jingqi, I have to say that Huang Jingqi's machine control level is very good, and Fang Shi narrowly won several battles. Of course, he has also fought against his senior brothers and sisters several times, but they all ended in misery, and he can't help but secretly make up his mind that after returning to the snowflake company this time, he will improve his machine control strength, and he is still quite confident in this, with Nana's strong data analysis ability, he believes that he still has a lot of room for growth.

The relaxed and comfortable time always seems to pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and it has also ushered in the birthday of the teacher Huang Shujian.

Three or four days before the old man's birthday, the housekeeper Zhou Cang was already busy, actively preparing for the birthday party, and the servants in the castle were also busy with their duties.

At noon on the day of the old man's birthday, Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu celebrated the old man first, and it was a simple celebration, and there was nothing fancy.

At dusk, the lights in the manor were almost all turned on, and the road leading to the castle was lined with white night lights, which stretched to the gate of the wall in the distance, like a long dragon. The castle is completely shrouded in all kinds of lights, and the matching and arrangement of various lights is quite exquisite, and there is no dazzling and incongruity, giving people a comfortable feeling of colorful ice powder.

As night wore on, the castle lights brighter and brighter.

Soon, the castle welcomed its first guest, an old man of about eighty years of age, whose white hair on the top of his head was already a little thin, and the wrinkles on his face were like rolling mountains, and he looked like an old man. Next to him was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, with fair and smooth cheeks that were very angular, very handsome, and carefully supporting the old man.

Seeing the old man and the young man coming, the housekeeper Zhou Cang walked up as soon as possible, said a few words respectfully, and then led the two into the castle hall.

Fang Shi, who was dressed in a formal suit in the corner of the hall, glanced at it from a distance, he knew the young man, he had seen it in the Military Hospital of the Headquarters of the 32nd Army of the Wolf Tooth Star, it was Huang Jingqi's brother Huang Yelei, as for the old man beside him, he seemed to be somewhat similar to the teacher Huang Shujian, and it seemed that he had seen it there before.

"Little junior brother, do you know who that old man is in Lu Dao?"

Su Feichen walked to Fang Shi's side with a wine glass, patted him on the shoulder, and his eyes were staring at the old man who had just walked into the castle hall.

Fang Shi thought for a moment, then shook his head gently, although there was a trace of familiarity in his mind, he still didn't remember to see the old man there after all, "I don't know." ”

Su Feichen took a sip of wine lightly and spit out a few words unhurriedly, "Huang Qingcang." ”

"Huang Qingcang!"

Three simple words, but it reminded Fang Shi of who the white-haired old man was, no wonder he seemed to have seen it there before, it turned out that he was Huang Qingcang, the former president of the Imperial Council, the father of the President of Huang Runshan, and he was definitely a super big man standing at the top of the empire. Huang Qingcang quit the parliament six years ago and resigned as the president of the imperial parliament, and his son Huang Runshan became the new president of the imperial parliament.

Hearing Huang Qingcang's three words, Fang Shi was slightly shocked in his heart, he knew that behind the teacher Huang Shujian was the Huang family, the head of the five major families of the empire, as for the specific position of the teacher in the Huang family, he was not very clear, after all, he only got some information from his senior sister, and he had never heard the teacher say it himself, but what he didn't expect was that this first guest turned out to be Huang Qingcang, the former head of the imperial parliament, and such a big man really surprised him.

Huang Qingcang walked slowly with a cane in one hand, and every step seemed to be very calm. Huang Yelei followed step by step, gently supporting the old man with one hand.

The two walked through the hall and went straight to the third floor of the castle. (To be continued......)
