The imperial capital and Diancheng are two completely different cities. Diancheng's life pace is slow, and the roadsides are full of classical beauty, which is more charming. It is a city suitable for retirement. The skyscrapers in the imperial capital can be seen everywhere, and people's life pace should be faster and more suitable for hard work.

Fenqiao was always only seventeen years old. When he suddenly arrived in a new city, he still felt fresh. When he saw different scenery outside the airport, his mood was no longer as deep as before.

There were already picking up vehicles outside the airport waiting quietly.

In the car, Liang Ze handed an IPAD to Fenqiao, and the interface was drawing a complex character relationship map.

Liang Ze smiled and explained to Fenqiao, "This is the relationship map of the characters in Mr. Gu's family that I compiled last night. Miss, just take a look. Just match the title and the picture."

This is because she is afraid that she will be embarrassed by calling the wrong person.

Fenqiao's fingertips slid a lot on IPAD, and was surprised to find that the page was not yet at the end.

"How many people are there in the Gu family?"

Liang Ze pushed his glasses, "There are 76 people in the three existing servers, and there are more in the five servers, but the Gu family has only one direct line. In this generation, there are only two members of Mr. Gu's compatriots and Mr. Gu. The Gu family's side branches depend on the Gu family to survive, but they have achieved some achievements in their respective fields. The relationship between them is intricate and difficult to explain at this time."

"Oh." Fenqiao nodded.

Seeing Fen Qiao's confused expression, Gu Yan said, "You just need to remember the person above and call him great-grandfather. It doesn't matter if you can't remember the others. They don't live in Gu's house. It's good that they won't be rude when they meet them in the future."

When Fenqiao stepped into the Gu family's old house, he realized that the Gu family's nobleness was far beyond her expectations. That was something she had never imagined when she was in Diancheng.

It is not so much an old house, but rather a strong palace. It is a mansion of the royal palace of the former dynasty. The living facilities are very modern, but they retain the majesty and beauty of the mansion itself.

The residence is located at No. 98 Taiping Bridge, Xicheng, on the streets of Chang'an Street. The entire residence is like a giant in the city, which should be incompatible with the surrounding modern buildings, but Fenqiao seems to be unexpectedly harmonious.

There was already someone waiting for the main entrance of the mansion. The old man in charge was thin, his hair was neatly combed behind his head, and his formal attire was meticulously tied to the last button, looking very serious. Seeing Gu Yan get off the car, he saluted him.

Gu Yan sideways to avoid this tribute, and the voice of "Bo Shen." was extremely respectful.

"This is the butler, and he is also the Gu family's retainer. He has a high status in his family." Liang Ze quietly reminded Fenqiao in his ear.

"Fenqiao, call me." Gu Yan interrupted the two of them.

"Hello, Butler Shen." Fenqiao saluted respectfully.

Butler Shen still had a serious expression on his face. He waved his hand and came up from behind and took out the gift box.

"For the first time we met, Fenqiao, I prepared a gift, I hope you like it." The gift box was handed to Fenqiao.

Fenqiao took it with both hands. Butler Shen's eyes showed a look of satisfaction and welcomed the person into the door.

Occasionally, they met servants in uniforms in the mansion. They did not talk to Gu Yan, but just stood aside quietly, bowed their heads and bowed. After Gu Yan passed by, they went to do their own things.

A feeling of strict hierarchy came to my face. If it weren't for the modern living equipment that existed everywhere, Fenqiao would almost think he had returned to his previous dynasty.

"Did they sign a contract for selling their bodies?" Fenqiao suppressed his voice very low and asked Liang Ze behind him quietly.

Butler Chen looked back at Fenqiao and quickly turned back. If Butler Chen hadn't been following Gu Yan all the time and was a little far away from Fenqiao, Fenqiao would have almost thought he had heard it.

Liang Ze burst into laughter, "Fenqiao, they all get off work. How can they sell their bodies in this era? Do you think it was filming TV series from the previous dynasty?"

Fenqiao was stupid again, closed his mouth in annoyance, and decided in his heart that he would never ask questions again if there was any problem.

Gu Yan's grandfather, the current leader of the Gu family, lives in the main courtyard of the mansion.

The main courtyard is naturally the most dignified and elegant courtyard among all the yards of the mansion. The top of the red vermilion door is hung with a black nanmu wooden plaque, and the gold powder, iron and silver painted with silver hooks are mentioned. The four corners of the building in the courtyard are raised high, and they look like swallows spreading their wings and flying.

Fenqiao only saw a Gu family and a butler, with a cold face and a serious face. He deeply felt that Gu Yan's grandfather would be an upgraded version of the two. Will he not like her? Will he have any objections to Gu Yan's adoption?

After all, Gu Yan is not married, and he adopts a child as old as her...

If Gu Yan's grandfather stopped Gu Yan, would he leave her behind?

Fenqiao thought, and became even more nervous.

Instead of stopping in the front yard, Gu Yan walked onto the veranda leading to the back yard.

Even though hundreds of years have passed, the fine carvings that can be seen everywhere in the corridor are still beautiful and well preserved. Under the corridor is a pool, and many koi are swimming in it. The pool is a living pool, which is extremely rare in the north.

After passing through a white marble arched stone door, the view became wider. The source of the pond was a large lake, with two rows of extremely tall ancient trees planted on both sides of the lake, which I don’t know how many years have passed.

At the center of the lake is an octagonal pavilion with one floor and one bottom, a green pavilion with flying eaves and corners, decorated with dragon heads, covered with yellow and green glazed tiles, and the top of the treasure is inlaid with porcelain pieces, which is very beautiful.

Gu Yan took her through the bridge on the lake and into the attic.

As soon as Fenqiao entered the door, he smelled the faint fragrance of wood. He carved beams and painted pillars in the attic. Fenqiao resisted his curiosity and restrained himself from looking around.

An old man sat on his back in the attic by the window. Fenqiao could see the wheelchair under him at a glance.

"grandfather."

Hearing the sound, the old man slowly controlled the wheelchair and turned around.

His face was covered with the ravines of the annual rings. He looked a little unsatisfied, but his eyes were wise, as if he could see through everything in the world. The old man looked at the Changsun in front of him, and gently pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth and called out: "Jing Heng."

Jing Heng is Gu Yan's name.

Fenqiao stood behind Gu Yan, and she couldn't tell why. She always felt that after the old man spoke, Gu Yan's body was a little stiff, and he was much nervous than usual.

Fenqiao has never seen Gu Yan like this before.

"You did a good job in Diancheng." The old man slowly said, and the praise came very plainly.

Only Gu Yan knew how rare it was. He nodded slightly and said solemnly, "It was also my grandfather who gave me a chance."

The old man waved his hand, "I understand in my heart that your father is a useless person, and I don't have many days," he manipulated his wheelchair to the desk and pushed a bag of bright yellow satin cloth in front of Gu Yan. "——Your seal."

"I started carving this print for you many years ago. Jing Heng, I didn't see the wrong person."

The old man sighed a long sigh and said, "In the past century, the Gu family has survived countless wars and artillery fire. I have taken it for half a century, and I know how difficult it is. And now, I have handed it to you."

"The rise and fall are the success and failure of you alone. You must take care of it."

Gu Yan took the bright yellow silk bag very solemnly, and Fenqiao clearly saw his knuckles turn white with force.

The explanation came to an end, and the old man looked behind Gu Yan.

"Fenqiao, is that right?"

Fenqiao glanced at Gu Yan unconsciously, and Gu Yan gave her a soothing look with encouragement.

After giving a big gift respectfully, Fenqiao called out: "Great Grandpa."

"It's the child brought back by Jing Heng..." The old man nodded slightly, "It's true that he has a bit of spiritual energy. I don't have any gifts suitable for girls. I have collected some antiques and calligraphy and paintings, so I will leave them all for you. I will contact the lawyer to record them in the will."

Fenqiao clearly heard Liang Ze behind him take a breath. Liang Ze has always been very steady.

She was not very clear about the meaning of those antique calligraphy and paintings, but judging from Liang Ze's reaction, it should be very precious.

She looked at Gu Yan for help, but Gu Yan pretended not to see the request for help in her eyes and said, "Fenqiao, don't thank you yet."

But... she is not a child of the Gu family, but just a child of a different surname. Why did she give her such precious things?

Before Fenqiao spoke, Gu Yan intercepted the words she had not said, "Fenqiao, the elders can't refuse." The dark black eyes could not be rejected.

Fenqiao had no choice but to accept the gift. After thanking him, the corners of the old man's mouth curled up with satisfaction.

"Butler Shen, take Fenqiao around the house to get to know her. After all, it's her first time here. Jing Heng and I still have something to talk about."

Butler Shen responded and took Fenqiao out of the pavilion.

Mr. Gu has always been a person who doesn't like being disobedient. Once he makes a decision, no one can shake his decision. Gu Yan asked Fen Qiao to accept those, but he was afraid that Fen Qiao would mess with the old man.

In fact, Gu Yan knew what the old man meant. He gave Fenqiao things for his own sake and raised Fenqiao's status in the Gu family. But at the same time he also positioned Fenqiao there and warned him that Fenqiao could not be treated better than this, could not change his surname, and could not surpass Gu Yan's own biological children.

The old man still knows Gu Yan. Gu Yan grew up in an environment with weak family affection, so he is naturally cold. Maybe it is difficult for him to get close to his children in the future, let alone adopt a child who is not related by blood.

This was almost unimaginable to the Gu family before, so in everyone's eyes, this child is special to Gu Yan.

...

Fenqiao followed Butler Shen, but once again opened his eyes.

Many of the ancient buildings of the previous dynasty were damaged in the war a hundred years ago. Only some of the remaining ones were transformed into museums or scenic parks, which always brought a commercial atmosphere and lacked a little charm.

So when she learned that Mr. Gu actually ordered her to give her a yard, she was shocked.

Are rich people so big?

Fenqiao deeply felt that the chaebol families I had seen before were all nouveau riche.

Before coming, Gu Yan had already said that he did not live in Gu's house, and he would only come back occasionally, so Fenqiao would usually live outside like him.

But when she came back occasionally, she even set up a special yard for her. Fenqiao could only say that she was flattered.

The yard assigned to Fenqiao was built against the water, and the butler in the sun was pointed out to Fenqiao through the corridor, "That is Jinrong Pavilion."
