family circle of friends

Chapter 5
The old house of the Shang family in Donghai City.

This is a huge manor stretching tens of thousands of square meters, with garden villas, rockery lakes, well-arranged, and the stretching buildings are like ancient palaces, magnificent.

Being able to own such a place as a house in Donghai City, where every inch of land is expensive, is enough to show the strong financial resources of the Shang family.

On the road leading to the manor, a row of luxury cars was driving slowly, the black hollow gate opened automatically, the car bypassed the manicured lawn, and finally stopped in front of the main hall.

Liu Yong got out of the car first, bent down to open the car door, Shang Chengjun stepped down, followed by Zhao Xuan.He raised his head and looked curiously at the palace-like house made of white marble in front of him, as well as the servants standing on both sides bowing and saluting.

Shang Chengjun took him by the hand and walked into the magnificent hall. Various precious oil paintings and some precious porcelain were hung on the walls on both sides. In the center was a bright yellow sofa with a simple design, surrounded by a rectangular glass coffee table, which was comfortable and generous.

Going forward, the hall divides into three corridors, leading to different places.

Shang Chengjun sat on the sofa, and the servant quickly brought the tea set, bright red tea poured out from the purple sand teapot, clear and bright.

After riding all the way in the car, Zhao Xuan was indeed a little thirsty. She picked it up and tasted it. The tea was neither hot nor cold, the temperature was just right, and there was a sweet fragrance in the mouth.

"Are you hungry?" Shang Chengjun asked.

Zhao Xuan shook her head: "Grandpa, where should I sleep at night?"

"I've already had someone tidy up your bedroom, Liu Yong, take him there to wash up, and have someone deliver food in half an hour!"

Liu Yong agreed: "Young master, please follow me!"

Going in along the corridor on the left, you come to a spiral staircase. Liu Yong takes Zhao Xuan up to the second floor, and then passes through three doors and two living rooms before arriving.

Along the way, Zhao Xuan didn't pay much attention to the display of those precious objects, but was a little dizzy looking at the densely packed doors.

"Master, this is your bedroom!"

When Zhao Xuan walked in, the first impression was that it was big.This is a suite, the outside is the living room, and the inside is the bedroom. The total area is hundreds of square meters, and the furniture is fully furnished.

Liu Yong opened the bedroom door, and Zhao Xuan looked at it with his head. The decoration was warmer. There was a huge five-meter-wide bed in the center. Even if he rolled ten times on it, he would never fall off. It was a floor-to-ceiling window. At this time, the window was fully opened, and the soft sunlight came in, illuminating the entire space.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the maid brought a brand new set of clothes. Liu Yong put the clothes beside the bed: "I'll wait for you outside the door!"

Zhao Xuan sat on the spacious bed in a daze.

In his last life, he was an orphan. He was often hungry when he was a child. He survived the hard times. When he grew up, he started working and earned a decent income, but he didn’t change his habit of saving. to an orphanage.

After passing through, although he is full and warm, he is still an ordinary person, so he has never enjoyed the life of a rich man, and now looking at this strange and luxurious room, he is really uncomfortable.

But he has to adapt again, because his current status has changed!
Sighing, Zhao Xuan stood up slowly and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Liu Yong seemed to know his height and size, and the new clothes were not too big or too small. Zhao Xuan came out after changing his clothes, and wiped his hair with a towel. Liu Yong stepped forward and said, "There is a hair dryer here, and I will dry it for you!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, young master, this is what I should do!"

The wind blew through her soft short hair, and Zhao Xuan asked suddenly: "Butler Liu, were you also taking care of my mother when she was young?"

Liu Yong paused slightly, he didn't expect him to ask this, and then he said: "Before the young lady was ten years old, it was the madam...that is, your grandmother, who took care of the young lady herself. Unfortunately, the madam was weak and fell ill, and unfortunately passed away. The master let me take care of the young lady's daily life!"

"What was mother like when she was a child?" Zhao Xuan asked curiously.

Memories flashed in Liu Yong's eyes: "Miss was very naughty when she was a child, she climbed trees to catch birds, went into the water to catch fish, she did all these things, like a little boy, Madam never restrained her, when she was around, the old house was always very busy. It's lively. It's a pity that after Madam passed away, Miss suddenly became silent and seldom laughed anymore!"

Liu Yong turned off the hair dryer, helped him cut his hair, and said, "Master, dinner is ready, let's go there!"

Zhao Xuan nodded and followed him downstairs.

In the large dining room, Shang Chengjun was already waiting, sitting on the main seat, reading documents.

"Grandpa!" Zhao Xuan called obediently.

Shang Chengjun looked at him, the hand-made suit was extremely appropriate and exquisite, and the boy wearing it was handsome and extravagant at the same time.

He nodded and put down the file: "Let's eat!"

The long dining table was covered with a layer of white tablecloth, and the servants came in orderly with the dishes, and put all kinds of dishes on the table, exuding a tempting aroma.

Shang Chengjun ate very quietly, no matter what he ate, he had no expression on his face, no joy or anger could be seen, coupled with the majestic aura exuding from him all the time, the servants became cautious and even dared not breathe loudly.

For a moment, only the slight crisp sound of chopsticks was left in the restaurant, which seemed deserted.

Zhao Xuan thought for a while, then suddenly picked up a shrimp, put it into Shang Chengjun's bowl with the servant's eyes widened in shock, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is delicious, try it!"

With calm eyes, Shang Chengjun ate slowly.

Zhao Xuan continued to work hard and continued to cook for him. The chefs of the Shang family were no worse than those of star-rated hotels, and the dishes they cooked were delicious and delicious.

The relationship between people takes time to cultivate, and family relationship is no exception. He and his grandfather have a natural blood relationship. Zhao Xuan believes that as long as he takes the initiative to get close, he will eventually respond.

After dinner, it was already late, and Shang Chengjun was going to the study to deal with the documents. Before leaving, he asked Zhao Xuan, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Zhao Xuan shook her head: "No, I'm used to sleeping by myself!"

Shang Chengjun nodded: "Call the servant if you have something to do, or call Liu Yong!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was rare.

After Zhao Xuan had breakfast, he proposed to go around, Shang Chengjun asked Liu Yong to accompany him.

Walking out of the front hall, there is a vast grassland in front of you, full of greenery. Walk to the left along the stone path and enter a garden where various flowers are planted with pleasant fragrance. In the center of the garden, a small river flows slowly and the water quality is clear. , You can see small fish swimming slowly.

There was a cleaning servant on the side of the road, and when he saw him bowing and saluting, he obviously knew his identity.

Zhao Xuan walked across the wooden bridge, not far away was a lake, and two townhouses were built along the lake, with a simple design.

Liu Yong introduced: "The garden was designed by the madam. When the madam was alive, she often took the young lady to the lake to go fishing, and she rested in the villa in summer!"

Zhao Xuan listened carefully, and the two of them walked by the lake and came to the back garden of the old house, surrounded by a large forest, with a flat grass in the center.

"For a while, the lady was clamoring to learn how to ride a horse. The place was originally intended to raise horses for her. Later, the lady fell ill and passed away. The lady didn't mention it again, and it has been abandoned!"

There is a small playground next to it, and in the distance, there are dense trees and a tall wall can be seen.

Zhao Xuan walked for a whole morning before finally walking around the whole old house. This place is really too big, it doesn't look like a home at all, but like a manor, and there are many servants encountered along the way, each performing their duties.
