Walking into the garden house at the bottom of the alley, Mu Zishan's eyes lit up, this courtyard is very different from the grace of the Jiangnan garden. The neatly trimmed shrubs stand along the neat symmetry of the central axis, and several simple and elegant stone carvings stand on both sides of the central axis, and there is a fountain in the middle of the path, which is delicate but spectacular.

Over the years, Mu Zishan and Yang Qianji have been together, and he has an understanding of a lot of Europa's humanities and customs. The whole courtyard here is divided into four parts, which are French, English, Italian and Chinese Jiangnan style courtyards.

The French garden design advocates romance and exudes a strong humanistic and classical atmosphere. At the same time, the style of the French courtyard is very regular, and the flower beds and shrubs repaired into symmetrical patterns show a luxurious and elegant temperament.

The English garden pursues nature, with solitary trees and patches of flower path vegetation as the mainstay, showing the natural scenery of trees and grasslands. There is also a lawn tennis court in the courtyard, and the fence around the court is crawling with vines and colorful vegetation, which makes this court blend into the natural environment, and this court is also a good demonstration of the utilitarian nature of the English people.

The Italian-style garden has strong characteristics of ancient Roman architecture, and the materials used to pave it are mainly natural masonry. Beautiful hedge flower beds, changing artificial streams, stone staircases, terraces, sculptures. The courtyard is made of ochre yellow, terracotta brown, olive green, lime green, flax white, dark earth yellow, extremely rich in color, vanilla and a variety of spice plants, which add a sensory stimulation to all who are there.

The Chinese garden is on the left side of the house, the pavilion looming between the bamboo forests, the small and exquisite lotus pond, the majestic Taihu Lake stone, and the euphemistic nine-curved bridge. In addition, there is a medicine garden, although the sparrows are small, but there are many scenes. A small piece of Jiangnan garden makes people linger.

At this time, Mu Zishan and several others finally understood what the essence of a real Chinese family was.

When the door was closed when walking into the house, Muzishan had a trance-like feeling, here and outside were simply two worlds, and in an instant everyone returned to Huhai a hundred years ago.

"Some people say that Huhai has no characteristics at all, and some people will ask what is the characteristic of the city of Huhai, the characteristics of Huhai lie in his tolerance to all rivers, the mind that accommodates all things, as long as it is good enough, it will be absorbed and integrated by Huhai. It's like the garden you see on the outside that blends the four national styles."

Xiang Shaoqin, who returned home, seemed to be in much better spirits, or he saw the hope for the Xiang family in the eyes of Mu Zishan and others, which inspired him to have a certain sense of pride in the family. He began to talk.

"You may not believe it, but this house is 90 years old this year, and all the decorations in the house are almost the same as they were back then. Every 10 years, our family will do a complete restoration as it was back then."

"So, this house is a work of art in itself, isn't it?"

"Yes, so to speak...... Originally, it was going to be overhauled this year, but something happened to the family."

Saying that, several people came to the reception area of the hall on the first floor.

After everyone sat down on the sofa, Xiang Shaoqin in a wheelchair said, "This is our Xiang family's housekeeper, called Xiang Rong."

Xiang Rong looked in his early forties in a long robe, and his appearance was outstanding, if he didn't say it, he couldn't imagine that he was a housekeeper, and no one would doubt that he was a Chinese painter or calligrapher.

Xiang Rong nodded to everyone and said, "Young Master Zhang, you can come to me if you have any needs during your stay in the Xiang family."

Mu Zishan also began to introduce Mu Xiaoshan and Liu Shilong. After that, the housekeeper Xiang Rong took Xiaoshan and Silong to their room. Mu Zishan pushed Xiang Shaoqin to his study.

Mu Zishan felt that although it was very luxurious, it seemed like something was missing.

Xiang Shaoqin seemed to know what Mu Zishan was thinking, and said a little depressedly, "Originally, there was no such desertion here, before my two daughters were unconscious, the children of those side branches would revolve around them, and there were hundreds of people coming in and out here all day long. Since my two heirs stopped showing up and my health was in trouble, there haven't been a few guests here in a few years."

"Uncle Shi, are your clansmen so realistic? As far as I know, your Xiang family is at least a big family that has existed for thousands of years. There should also be self

Your own rules."

"I really should explain the situation at home, but before that, I want to ask if you are a friend of Qilu, is Qilu okay?"

"You've long recognized that I'm not going astray."

"Yes, his qi is thick and warm, and yours is also strong, but the middle is peaceful."

"I'm a friend of Qilu, my name is Mu Zishan, don't worry, Qilu is fine."

"It's okay."

"Don't you doubt me at all?"

"I recognize that Wudang girl next to you. When my two daughters were kidnapped, she rescued them with Qilu. I can trust you with her."

"There's a lot going on today, and he's worried about you. So let me come over first and see if there's anything I need help with."

Xiang Shaoqin bowed his head and said that he knew, and he sorted out his thoughts and began to tell the past of the family.

"Our Xiang family has existed for more than 2,000 years and has always been a big family here in Jiangnan. As for the reason for the current situation, we have to talk about it from 10 years ago. The battle with the Zhang family ten years ago was actually not what everyone saw on the surface. The Zhang family seems to be ambiguous with the power of the United States on the surface, and the United States does contribute money and efforts to help them, but their core is towards China. On the contrary, our side is not so pure, and the family at that time has been corroded to the point of being full of holes. Sometimes the larger the organization, the more likely it is to have problems, especially in this kind of great change, Huaxia has been weak for a long time, although our big families still have the background, but compared with those foreign chaebol forces, we are still too weak. Many people in the family could not resist the temptation and fell to them. At that time, I had just taken power, and under the banner of denouncing the Zhang family, I used external forces to clean up these moths in the family. The grandmother in charge of the Zhang family also seemed to see my intentions, and we maintained a certain tacit understanding, and things went smoothly."

"That's the grandmother who went astray."

"Yes, I know, the one is very wise, and he warned me not to be so radical, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Ay! I didn't expect the backlash to come so quickly. If it weren't for the fact that I had fallen victim to a plot and my body was getting weaker and weaker, if it weren't for the fact that my two heirs were unconscious......

Speaking of this, Xiang Shaoqin seemed to have some feelings.

"Over the years, some of Xiang's family members have not been willing to be caught between us and have chosen to go abroad for development. The Xiang family who stayed behind formed a ***. Xiang Shaoqi is the strongest force except for me, he manages most of the Xiang family's business in Shanghai, and the Xiang family's people in the rivers and lakes. The Xiang family who supports Xiang Shaoshu is the most, and in the past few years, when I have been sick, he has eaten away at the share of the main family and distributed it to those side branches and peripheral members of the family, so if I am really gone, then he should be able to get the most support. Xiang Shaohua seems to be light and light, but he is the most calculating one, he is good at finance, borrowing strength, using the strength of the Xiang family to attack the city and plunder the city for himself, his goal is actually only one, that is, to split the Xiang family."

Xiang Shaoqin let out a sigh of relief after speaking, if it weren't for his physical problems, he wouldn't want to publicize the affairs of his family everywhere.

"Shibo, there's something I want to ask, your wife."

"Speaking of my wife, who has worked hardest over the years, she has been taking care of the Xiang family's property for me. I also had to look around for medical advice and find a way to heal my daughter and me. She should be in Guinan at the moment, and I heard that there is a Miao doctor there who specializes in treating soul sickness."

Mu Zishan just wanted to say that the sisters of the Xiang family were not divorced, but after thinking about it, they still didn't speak, who knows if this is the so-called soul disorder. Only Zhang Qilu knows their affairs best.

"Uncle Xiang Shi, I know roughly about the affairs of the Xiang family, something actually happened today." Then Mu Zishan told the events of this day in detail. In the middle, the analysis results of himself and Zhang Qilu and several others were also added.

"Uncle Shi, I agree with the analysis of Qilu and Qin Dao, there may be danger here today."

Xiang Shaoqin's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, "The Xiang family is already chaotic enough, I didn't expect foreign forces to spy on my two precious daughters."

Suddenly, Xiang Shaoqin felt that the atmosphere of the entire study seemed to be changing

It has changed, in mid-October, in Shanghai, in fact, the heat has not yet dissipated, and there are still some hot flashes. But as soon as he was in an ice cave, Xiang Shaoqin couldn't help but shiver, and the temperature suddenly dropped by more than 20 degrees.

Xiang Shaoqin just wanted to put the blanket covering his lap on his body to keep warm, but for a moment he felt it again, and a warmth hit. Xiang Shaoqin is a lot weaker at the moment, but he is still insightful. At this moment, he knew that in the whole room, the two qi engines, one cold and one hot, were constantly rotating, and after disappearing, they were magically regenerated.

"What I cultivate is the Innate Mixed Yuan Yiqi, Yin and Yang are born and extinguish each other, as long as I want, the temperature of this space can rise by dozens of degrees Celsius, or drop by dozens of degrees Celsius. Of course, the application of Yin and Yang Mixed Yuan is far more than that."

Xiang Shaoqin suddenly felt that the qi in the room had changed again, he felt vigorous vitality, and the blanket in his hand grew clumps of mushrooms in an instant. Xiang Shaoqin looked up in surprise and just wanted to ask something, only to see two potted plants in the study, one was growing rapidly, and the other was withering rapidly.

Xiang Shaoqin's face was full of surprise, and immediately he saw an even more incredible scene, seeing that the plant that was about to die suddenly came to life again, and the tip of the vigorous plant began to decay.

"We call this aura realm, and the scope of my realm is large enough to cover the scope of your entire Xiang family. Don't worry, Uncle Shi, no matter what happens the next day, I will do my best to protect your Xiang family."

Xiang Shaoqin shook off the mushrooms on the blanket, and his demeanor was obviously a little more comfortable.

"Uncle Shi, take me to see Xiang Xuanyang and Xiang Ningxue first."
