Chapter 761 Commander's Mansion (1)

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

In the courtyard, Wang Siyi played with a machete.The light of the knife is flickering, and the sky is filled with snow shadows, which is too beautiful to behold.

Zuo Xuanyan watched intently and kept waving her little hands, very excited.

Little children change quickly.

It's only been a few months, and the kung fu has grown, and the appearance of powder carving and jade carving is really cute.

Now this little doll has become the biggest treasure in the Commander's Mansion, and everyone's life begins to revolve around her.

Even when Wang Siyi came back for vacation, she had to perform martial arts for her.

After playing, Wang Siyi came over and hugged Zuo Xuanyan in her arms, feeling very rare.

"Good girl, when you grow up, mother will teach you how to practice martial arts."

Zuo Xuanyan couldn't understand either, she was bouncing and giggling in Wang Siyi's arms.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ruolin really had a headache.

"This girl, I read a story to her, and she kept crying. It makes me very happy to see you juggling a knife. I really don't know if it's my own?"

Wang Siyi laughed out loud, and gnawed Zuo Xuanyan's cheek twice.

"My daughter from the Zuo family must be able to catch tigers in the mountains and dragons in the sea, of course."

Seeing her daughter and Wang Siyi having fun, Xu Ruolin didn't know who to talk to about her depression.

"Hey, look at my niece, what did uncle bring you?"

Zhang Haogu leaned over with a cheap smile, holding a shining white jade horse in his hand.

Obviously this is a gift for Zuo Xuanyan.

But seeing his face, Zuo Xuanyan immediately burst into tears.

"Hey, girl, I'm your father's sworn brother, your dearest and most beloved uncle."

Zuo Xuanyan refused to listen and cried even more vigorously.

Zuo Menggeng mocked: "Look, look, even children know that you are not a good person."

"Second from the left, there must be evidence for what you say. Why am I not a good person?"

As a result, Wang Siyi was unhappy.

"What kind of a good person are you? Which kind of good person took my father to the brothel?"

Zhang Haogu blushed and tried to defend himself.

"My aunt, it's really not that I want to take Wang Shishu there. He is an elder, and he gave the order, what can I do? I can't blame me for that."

But when it comes to brothels, Zhang Haogu is excited.

"Hey, the second from the left, I saw the songs and dances you made last time, and I thought they were very good. I contacted Director Li, asked her to be a teacher, and taught a group of them. Now I am partnering with Wang Shishu I ran a performing arts company, specializing in performances for various events, celebrations, weddings and weddings. Don’t mention it, it’s very popular and makes a lot of money.”

Zuo Menggeng's head was full of black lines, and he knew that this guy was only promising.

But at any rate, what he and Wang Shizhong did was serious business.

While talking here, Mrs. Huang came over.

While walking and watching, the eyes are nostalgic, quite reluctant.

"I've lived in this house for more than ten years, and I'm used to it. If you want to go to Jinan, you can go. I'm fine here."

Zuo Menggeng couldn't laugh or cry.

"We are all far away in Jinan. How can we rest assured that we leave our mother here alone? Besides, Ruolin still has work to do, and the child will need you to take care of her in the future."

Huang also knew that it was impossible for her family to leave her alone in Linqing, but it was hard to leave her homeland, so she nagged a bit.

That day, Zuo Menggeng's family packed up their bags and began to move to Jinan.

After one year and eight months of construction, the brand new Commander's Mansion has been completely completed and ready for occupancy.

Before that, most of the functional departments in Shandong had been relocated.

Before leaving, Zuo Menggeng handed over the house to Old Qin.

"Old Qin uncle, you don't want to leave your hometown, and we don't force you. This house is generally sound. You can live here in the future and enjoy the blessings. If you want to go back to Zhuangzi, it's not too far away. It's good to go with you."

The person who can't leave his homeland the most is actually the old Qintou.

A man in his seventies has lived here all his life, and every plant and tree in his hometown has been integrated into his bones and soul.

Once he leaves here, his life will be meaningless.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Zuo Menggeng stopped insisting and left Zuofu to live in him.

Outside Linqing City, standing on the side of the road, watching Zuofu's family go far away, Old Qintou muttered to himself.

"No matter where the young master has gone, the root is here. The old man has to take good care of him. Only with the root can a person stand firm and go far."

From Linqing to Jinan, it takes only a day and a night along the waterway.

Finally, the family arrived at their new residence.

Hou Xun, Li Banghua, Zhang Zongheng, Huang Zongxi and other civil and military officials have already gathered here. Even if they are congratulatory guests, they still come to visit.

Zuo Menggeng expressed his gratitude to one person first.

"Mr. Nanyuan, thanks to you, the Commander's Mansion can be built so well."

The person Zuo Menggeng thanked was the famous garden architect Zhang Lian.

This man is well-known in the history of Chinese architecture. The Lejiao Garden and South Garden of Wang Shimin in Taicang, the Yunheng Thatched Cottage and Xijiao Garden of Li's father and son in Songjiang, and the Fushui Villa by Qian Qianyi in Changshu are all his masterpieces.

Therefore, when it was decided to build the Commander's Mansion, Xu Ruolin tried her best to invite this powerful man over.

And under the leadership of Zhang Lian, with the support of Zuo Menggeng's ideas, it can be said that the Commander's Mansion is the first of its kind in Chinese architecture.

Hou Xun and the others were curious.

Apparently, they all made up their minds. After the visit, they must absorb good things from the Commander's Mansion, and then use them to build their own houses.

Received Zuo Menggeng's thanks personally, Zhang Lian's face was radiant.

"The old man has built a manor all his life, and he thinks that he is skilled in skills. He never wanted to benefit a lot from the commander. The old man should be grateful. The commander is a good teacher and friend!"

Seeing that the famous Zhang Lian was full of admiration for Zuo Menggeng, everyone was even more curious about what the Commander's Mansion was like.

The auspicious time has come, everyone is looking forward to it, Zuo Menggeng finally speaks.

"Open the door and welcome the distinguished guests."

People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already taken over here. Under Zuo Menggeng's order, the main gate of the Commander's Mansion slowly opened, revealing the tip of the iceberg inside.

Considering security issues, the main entrance of the Commander's Mansion is made of fine steel and plated with brass on the outside, so it looks golden and dignified.

And such a gate, even if it is bombarded with infantry artillery from the new army, it is impossible to break it.

Under the special structure, even a battering ram is powerless.

On the inside of the main gate, near the wall, there is a tall watch tower on the left and right.

The sentinel stands on it, and can see everything within [-] meters in front of him.Anyone who wants to get close can't hide from the eyes of the sentry.

This area is a small square, but it is not open to the public.

Only people from the Commander's Office, as well as staff from the opposite cabinet and the Legislative Council can walk around here.

The walls of the Commander's Mansion are made of reinforced concrete. Although they are not thick, they are absolutely solid, and they are twelve meters high.

Not only is a sharp barbed wire fence pulled up on it, but tall and dense trees are also planted.So that no matter from any angle, no matter how high you stand, you can't spy on it.

These things are all the insistence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There is only one requirement, and the safety of the Commander's family is more important than anything else.
