After getting off the car, Xu Yuelin held Chen Hua's arm and looked at the scene in front of her in stunned silence, "Are we traveling through time?"
What you see in front of you is not the tall buildings you usually see, but a green mountain.
The mountain is not high, but has a continuous trend behind it.
The trees on the mountain are lush and green, and an ancient house can be seen on the mountainside, with green tiles and white walls.
"This is our ancestral home."
Gu Jingzhou explained, "Because the elders in the family don't like noisy environments, so our family all lives in the ancestral home."
"Ancestral House" Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua looked at each other.
They also had ancestral houses, but the former was a blue brick house in the countryside, which was later directly bulldozed for development.
As for the latter, which was a courtyard house in an alley, it was simply not enough to compare with others.
Look "Do you want to walk up or take a car?"
Gu Jingzhou asked.
Because the residence is halfway up the mountain, there are two roads to walk on.
One is for vehicles, which goes up the mountain in a circle, and the other is from the foot of the mountain using steps.
"Let's walk" and "Let's go" all agreed.
Facing such a beautiful scenery, we naturally have to appreciate it slowly.
Because the foot of the mountain is some distance away from the main road, a few people walked on the path between the lotus ponds and slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain.
It's already May, and coupled with global warming, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are almost stretched, but they have not yet been stretched out.
They are half-rolled and have a certain style.
"It feels like there are more lotus flowers in the river than in the West Lake," Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua discussed.
"The lotus flowers in the West Lake are just a few on the Fenghe side of Quyuan, but they disappear after a few steps.
This lotus pond is covered in patches.
Yes, it will be beautiful when the lotus blooms in summer.”
Cheng Chu, who was behind, joked after hearing this: "It's a pity that I came at the wrong time.
If I catch up with late autumn, I might be able to go back with a bag of lotus roots."
"I'll just have someone deliver it to you then."
"I'm just waiting for your words.
By the way.
Don't give away the lotus heart tea.
Last year you gave some as a gift.
My old man liked to drink it, so forget it.
You forced me to drink it, which almost made me suffer.
This year you But please don’t give it away, I’m begging you.”
"Then how can the lotus heart purify the heart and improve the eyesight?
It is a bitter medicine.
I will give you more this year."
"Then what.
Can I ask a question?"
Xu Yuelin said weakly, "Doesn't the lotus pond and fields around here belong to your family?"
Otherwise, why would you give away the things here?
"You finally discovered it."
Cheng Chu touched Xu Yuelin's hair, "Everything you see is what you see now.
Don't doubt it, people are just like this."
"This is the ancestor's sacrificial field."
Gu Jingzhou saw that they were looking at him as if they were trying to defeat the rich, and he couldn't help but said, "These mountains were bought by our ancestors.
We can only say that we admire our ancestors' Yin De." ” “Is this the legendary focus on buying land for a hundred years?”

"" After knowing that the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain belonged to the Gu family, several people were mentally prepared.
But as you walk up the mountain along the verdant stone slabs.
When I looked at the trees on both sides that covered the sun, I still felt a little shocked.
Judging from the age of these trees, they cannot grow like this in a short period of time.
In addition, the old houses on the mountainside must have been bought by the ancestors of the Gu family for at least a hundred years.
The most important thing is.
People also said it was a sacrifice to the field.
What is a sacrificial field?
Generally speaking, in ancient times, after a large family became prosperous, they would buy land in their hometown or in a place with rich products, as a retreat after the family declined.
Xu Yuelin burst into tears.
With that kind of superpower, when can I push Gu Jingzhou down?
But when she finally climbed up the mountainside and walked into the Gu family mansion.
But found that he cried too early.
The ancient house in front of you has been properly repaired and remains the same as before.
The blue bricks under your feet are all carved with uniform patterns.
If you are careful, you can also see the carvings on the walls and tiles on the eaves.
After walking around the screen wall and entering the second door, someone was waiting for them.
"Master, I asked someone to take the guests to the main room."
Gu Jingzhou looked a little surprised.
He originally wanted to take the guests directly to his yard.
Not knowing what the old man was thinking, he had no choice but to lead a few people to the left.
On the left is a corridor with many flowers and trees planted on both sides, and above the head are layers of rattan plants, which are densely packed and block all sunlight.
Occasionally, there are some hanging down, which is very artistic.
After passing through the hall and entering a door, your eyes suddenly opened up.
Oncoming is a cross corridor paved with green bricks, with some green cypress and ironwood planted on both sides.
After all, the corridor is the main room with five rooms, and it seems to be the main hall for entertaining guests.
Xu Yuelin's eyes have special powers.
Through these houses and buildings, it feels like there is light everywhere, but some are weak and some are strong.
For example, the main hall in front of me is a bit blinding.
As soon as she entered the house, before Xu Yuelin had time to look around, she heard someone laughing and saying, "We're here now."
"Grandpa, Wang, Grandpa, Mom" Gu Jingzhou greeted the elders, turned around and introduced several people one by one.
"So you are Chen Qing's grandchildren, yes, yes."
Gu Mingquan stroked his beard and looked at Chen Ya a few more times.
He used to be from the military system, and he was not from the same system as Chen Qing.
He only knew about Chen Qing, but had never had any contact with him.
Later, after he retired, he lived a semi-reclusive life and became even more isolated from people.
Now that I see his grandson, I feel that the Chen family will have a successor in the future, so we might as well get in touch with him more.
After looking at the Chen brothers and sisters, and then at Gu Duan and Xu Yuelin behind them, Gu Mingquan also nodded secretly.
He is so old and has met a lot of people, so he can judge people fairly accurately.
These young men each have their own characteristics.
Most of them act calmly and in a measured manner.
In addition, their eyebrows are broad and bright, and they don't look like cunning people.
They are all worthy of friendship.
Compared to her father-in-law, the beautiful woman paid more attention to the two girls among them.
Seeing that both of them were generous, the beautiful woman couldn't help but like them, but then she became a little worried.

She didn't know if her son would like them among them.
I thought I'd ask, knowing my son's character, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell.
After making up her mind, the beautiful woman had no choice but to observe it carefully in the past few days.
After meeting the elders, Gu Jingzhou took them out.
The two old men left behind are relatively energetic.
"How about which one do you like more?"
Gu Mingquan asked his old friend.
Wang Jian snorted and said, "I wonder if you're happy too early.
They're just here to visit you.
Why are you being so sentimental?
But I think the taller one is more suitable for Xiaozhou.
I just don't know if the two of them are calling or not."
This time, Gu Jingzhou had already led them to his yard.
Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua are no longer able to complain.
They have a room at home, and their home is a yard.
There is such a gap.
“The rooms here are all ready, girls have priority in choosing rooms.”
Seeing that the boys were all so elegant, the two girls were not polite.
After looking at them, they chose a small pavilion next to the lotus pond.
Because there is a lotus pond at the back of the yard that is connected to the outside of the wall, this room was set up directly next to the lotus pond.
There is a hollow floor-to-ceiling window on the wall next to the lotus pond.
There is a roller blind on it.
When you roll it up on a sunny day, you can see the pond full of lotus flowers when you get up.
Especially on summer nights, the breeze blows and the room is filled with the fragrance of lotus.
After Gu Jingzhou showed them the room, Chen Hua and Xu Yuelin ran into the back room and rolled hard on the bed.
"Wow, I like this room so much" "I really wish I had a room like this."
After rolling a few times, Xu Yuelin suddenly stopped, turned over and took a look at the quilt.
She saw that the bed below was different from the modern bed.
This one was more like an ancient couch with carvings on the edge.
The quilt on top is also very soft and silky, I don't know what material and fabric it is.
As for the pattern on the quilt, it is even more beautiful.
The stitching is smooth and dense, and it is very exquisite.
Looking up at the furnishings of the room, apart from the piano table on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was also the ink landscape painting screen opposite to separate the line of sight and the tall flower stand with flowers in the corner.
After getting up and going to the flower stand, she picked up the blue and white porcelain beauty dendrobium and took a look at it.
Xu Yuelin saw a line of small characters written on it: "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty".
"I'll go, it's an antique."
Chen Hua also came over, "Is it from the Kangxi period?
What should I do if I suddenly want to take him with me and run away?"
Xu Yuelin gestured, "It's too big to fit in."
"Ahem."
Cheng Chu, who walked in from behind, heard their conversation and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "That's all you can do."
Seeing that they had been seen, the two people couldn't help but blush, "Everyone has a responsibility to defeat the rich."
"Except for Cheng Chu, while the rightful owner is not here, can you tell me who the boss of their family is?
This behavior doesn't look like that of an ordinary high-ranking official at all."
Xu Yuelin hugged Mei Renhu and pulled Cheng Chu to sit down on the bed. , looking like a curious baby.

"That's right," Chen Hua also said, "I used to think that our family's financial situation was pretty good, but today, compared with others, it's like heaven and earth.
I've wanted to ask you this question since I got off the bus today.
Back then, Isn’t it the Cultural Revolution?
So many monuments were smashed, how come this place is still so intact?”
The reason why I came here was to remind the two of them to act more carefully.
After all, there were other people living in this house.
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Chu selectively spoke, "Do you believe we still have aristocrats in modern times?"
""The two girls looked at each other.
"Actually, I don't know much about the specifics.
But you should have noticed along the way, including the trees along the road and this house, that they are not modern things.
And the style of the house has some elements from the Qing Dynasty.
But some are from earlier, such as the couch we are sitting on.
So, at least before the Qing Dynasty, this house existed.
"To be continued. s: This chapter took more than four hours.
It may be a bit dull, but I still couldn’t help but want to write it.
In my heart, I firmly believe that there are ancient nobles, but they are very low-key.
