Maybe this house is not particularly large, but it is really exquisite.

They came to the cliff behind the house and had a panoramic view of the house. The layout was very reasonable and even had defensive functions...

"Has this house also been handed in?"

It’s a pity for Zhang Wan, this house is really of commemorative significance.

"No."

Zhang Changshun’s words startled the two sisters.

There isn't any?!

"This place is too remote. It's not in the old city. It was almost a mountainous area. Moreover, after my father passed away, my brothers went their separate ways. This old house has been basically abandoned. No one has lived there for many years. I didn't bring it up, and the higher-ups didn't care."

Zhang Changshun looked puzzled. “This old house was built by our Zhang family a hundred years ago. It is the only residence that can be called an old house besides the old house in our hometown.”

Zhang Changshun looked back at the past.

“In the beginning, the three of us brothers were born here.

At that time, the Zhang family's business was booming. Although the overall environment was not good and there were events that shocked the world, the impact on the business here was not too great. In fact, because of the opening of the port, our family even had some private businesses..."

The three of them chatted as they walked towards the old house.

This time, it was Zhang Lin and her sister who learned about the Zhang family’s former glory most directly from their grandfather.

The industries that are in the open alone cannot be underestimated in the southwest. In addition, the ancestors were very far-sighted. Many industries were not made public and they all found public spokespersons, making it impossible for people to understand the full details of the Zhang family.

In order to keep a low profile, the door is not exaggerated, but it reveals a low-key luxury.

The house is over a hundred years old, so this door must be at least a hundred years old, so it can barely be considered an antique.

However, in this era, no one cares about the value of these things. If it were a few decades later, this place would be remote, unattended and without surveillance. Not to mention the furniture in the house, even this door could be removed.

This time the three of them finally didn't have to climb over the wall. Zhang Changshun pushed open the door. The heavy wooden door creaked due to years of disrepair.

As the gate gradually opened, the three of them walked into the yard step by step, feeling as if they had traveled through time and space.

Zhang Lin had a very strong feeling of returning to ancient times.

This courtyard was built in the feudal dynasty and is full of ancient style. Although it has been renovated and has undergone some changes after the Republic of China, most of it remains authentic.

Because Zhang Changshun has never been abroad, his appreciation level is still relatively traditional.

The main courtyard is quite large, especially the main house, which is very grand and you can tell at first glance that it is the house of a wealthy family.

Zhang Lin and Zhang Wan did not disturb Zhang Changshun. They followed him silently and watched him push open a mountain gate...

Zhang Changshun touched the table and chairs in the main room with excitement in his eyes.

It has been twenty years since I last set foot here. I thought this place might have been occupied by someone.

Fortunately, although it is abandoned, dilapidated and gray, there are no traces of outsiders.

After half an hour, Zhang Changshun took Zhang Lin and her sister around the whole courtyard and told them one by one which courtyard it was, who lived there at the time, and what stories the pavilions had...

Gradually, a picture of a large family in the late feudal era and the Republic of China period gradually emerged in the minds of Zhang Lin and her sister.

It makes people sigh, but also makes people fascinated.

But they know very well that it is because the Zhang family has a good family tradition, the head of the family also has WeChat, and there are no disgusting things such as brothers fighting each other or sisters-in-law conflicts, which makes people yearn for it.

If it's a mansion full of intrigue and theft, it's better not to live in it.

Finally, the two came to a small courtyard.

This courtyard is where Zhang Changshun lived when he was a child.

In the most inconspicuous utility room in the courtyard, Zhang Changshun fumbled around for a while, and after moving the locker, the sound of a mechanism rang out...

Zhang Lin and Zhang Wan looked at each other, somewhat excited.

This is the secret room I have seen on TV. I didn’t expect that the Zhang family also has one.

However, unlike what they imagined, there was no secret door on the wall behind the cabinet, but...

The entire wall began to move slowly!

The entire wall was literally moved away and retracted into the mezzanine wall between rooms!

After moving it away, there was no secret passage, but instead a row of densely packed shelves and thick drawers appeared, and the shelves were filled with things.

Layer upon layer, densely stacked...

The mezzanine of the secret room is not wide, only half a meter wide and several meters long.

The bottom layer was full of small boxes. Seeing Zhang Changshun start to pull the boxes, Zhang Lin and Zhang Wan also went up to help.

Because the box was not big, only 40 centimeters wide, there were no large antiques inside.

Zhang Lin saw a box of Yuan Datou coins, a box of gold bars, and three boxes of gems in various colors, all of very good quality.

There is also a box of calligraphy and paintings, and a box of various strange things, such as tripods, bowls, small vases, luminous wine jugs, these very unique things.

The upper level also had boxes. When I opened them, I saw that they were all ancient books, including rare copies and works by famous teachers...

The upper floors are filled with antiques.

I climbed up the ladder to the upper floors and saw a large drawer half a meter thick filled with all kinds of very exquisite jewelry.

One of the headpieces was covered with imperial emeralds. Not to mention the largest one, even the small gems in the circle would be worth a lot of money if any one of them was taken off.

The top layer is all jade.

"Look for yourselves, take whatever you like, you can take them all."

Zhang Changshun just sighed for a while and lost interest in these things.

Now he has enough food and clothing, and he is already in his seventies. It would be more useful if these things were left to young people.

Zhang Lin and Zhang Wan shook their heads at the same time.

"Grandpa, please put it away first and go back to show it to my parents and eldest brother."

Zhang Changshun glanced at the two sisters silently, then burst into laughter, his eyes full of light.

As expected of a child of the Zhang family, he has such good character!

Except for the good-for-nothing second brother and his family, there are no cowards or greedy and immoral people in their Zhang family.

A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Good, really good!

Knowing that it was impossible for the two sisters to accept the property, Zhang Changshun did not persuade them. Anyway, after returning, the eldest couple and Guosheng would give the property to them.

At worst, let Guosheng keep some for convenience whether he gets married in the future or not.

The two did not take any property, but some precious furniture, such as the exquisite huanghuali wood bed and the red sandalwood cabinet...

Afterwards, Zhang Changshun brought the two of them to the main courtyard.

On the side wall of the wing room in the main courtyard, a pitch-black hole was revealed after the mechanism was opened.

Zhang Changshun turned on the flashlight, lit a piece of paper and threw it in. After it burned out, the three of them went down one by one.

The passage was very deep, and after walking for a few meters, another door appeared.
