Chapter 51 See the Elders

The Fang family mansion is located on the mountainside of Qinglong Mountain, with an area of ​​more than 20 mu. It was originally the courtyard of a party official hundreds of years ago. After more than a hundred years of vicissitudes, it came into the hands of Mr. Fang.When I was young, Grandpa Fang started a business with passion, and gained a foothold in the turmoil and national turmoil. When he took over the other hospital, he was just a small businessman with a fair value. It can be seen from the other courtyard that the old man's methods are amazing.

The other courtyard has been repaired many times, retaining the antique flavor and adding modern elements at the same time.Since the old man was 60 years old, he and his grandmother lived in the other courtyard, and the other courtyard officially listed the square house.

Because of the Bodhi Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple, on Qinglong Mountain, there are many large and small temples in the mountain. It may be a place for monks to walk.

In addition to building houses for dignitaries and dignitaries, there are also many sanatoriums, resorts, fitness clubs... The villas in the mountains are very hot, and the price of one square meter is not much different from the housing prices in the city center. It will be sold out in a short time.

But all the properties with the Daqingshan brand are flocked to.

In order to maintain the ecological environment and maintain the peace and tranquility in the mountains, the Nanzhou Municipal Government put forward the slogan of limited development 20 years ago. The idea was advanced in the overall environment of pursuing economic development at that time. Looking at it now, it was curbed in advance With the momentum of real estate development, Qingshan can maintain the benign development of today.

Because of this, the houses in Qingshan are getting more and more expensive, but the key is that they are still unavailable.

The Fang family's mansion with [-] acres of land can be described as a luxury real estate built on Huaxia coins.

On the way to Daqingshan, the car stopped by a high-end pastry shop.

The car door next to Fang Chengyan opened, "I ordered the blessing and longevity gift box for Xituan in advance, and I'll come as soon as I get it."

Jiang Yuan, who was in a state of nervousness, tensed his nerves instantly, put his hand by the door, and looked at Fang Chengyan eagerly, "I'll go down with you to get it."

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was pitiful and helpless like a puppy in the heavy rain, with drooping ears and drooping tail. Fang Chengyan couldn't help rubbing his head, "I'll be there soon."

After Fang Chengyan finished speaking, he walked out. Jiang Yuan was eager to follow, but found that the car door couldn't be opened. He looked down at the buttons on the door for some unknown purpose, "..." High-end cars can't operate anymore.

You can’t stop on the road. After 2 minutes, the traffic police came to salute and give you a ticket. The driver Si Wei started the car and drove to the nearby parking lot. If you buy it, it’s out of stock, I’ve lived for 2000 years and I’ve seen such an awesome store no more than one hand.”

Xituan sells all kinds of handmade dim sum. It has a history of 50 to 31 years. Since its opening, it has taken the high-end route.In addition to the packaged gift box, there is a retail window in the store. Driven by curiosity, Jiang Yuan came to buy the lotus cake with lotus paste filling. The handmade lotus paste filling tastes sweet but not greasy, just right. If you don’t like sweet food, you can still eat Buy the reduced sugar version.There are [-] lotus flower cakes the size of duck eggs, and after trying it, you will know that it is worth the money.

The store advocates that whoever orders will pick up the goods, peddlers and wealthy sons are treated equally, and the gift box of the wedding party has to be walked in on two legs to get it.

"The old man likes to eat Xituan's jujube cake, osmanthus cake, and pine nut candy. Every once in a while, the master will come over and buy it for the old man to eat." While waiting, Wei Wei knocked on the steering wheel and looked through the mirror. Seeing that Jiang Yuan pinched his fingers nervously, he said: "The old man is a good man in ten generations, otherwise he would not be blessed to be the grandfather of our lord."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "The owner of Xituan should also be a good person, otherwise there would be no one who would come to buy things."

Jiang Yuan was just joking, he didn't expect Si Wei to nod his head and say in agreement: "It must be like this, otherwise how can it match."

Jiang Yuan looked at himself, why did he deserve it?

"I went to the book of life and death to read it." Probably because he wanted to go together, Si Wei said, "The little boss has been a good person for many lifetimes, and he is a very pure and kind fetal element. No wonder he can be with the Lord."

The Lord of the Underworld fell in love with an ordinary person, and all his subordinates were very curious about how Jiang Yuan and He De could be worthy of the Lord of the Underworld.If you have doubts, look for the answer. What is easier and more convenient than directly inquiring the book of life and death in the ghost world?As the headline king of the ghost world, Si Wei is absolutely well-informed. According to the records in the book of life and death, Jiang Yuan was a kind-hearted person in his previous life and past life. .

Being able to be selected by Kunwuju and become the owner of Kunwuju must be because of this. This is the conclusion drawn by Si Wei and others.

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he still had hidden buffs. He smiled, "It's my honor. I have practiced for thousands of years just to have a lifetime relationship with Fang Chengyan."

Si Wei's eyes widened, "Good Su, can I post a headline?"

Jiang Yuan was puzzled: "Huh?"

Si Wei hurriedly covered his vest to prevent his identity as headline king from being exposed in front of the little boss of Kunwuju. What should I do if I become angry and don't let myself post?Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, Si Wei works hard for his headline career, and can't tolerate any mistakes or omissions.

Five minutes later, Si Wei restarted the car to pick up Fang Chengyan.

When the car arrived at Xituan's door, Fang Chengyan just happened to walk over with a gift box.The gift box was placed on the passenger seat, Fang Chengyan took a small box and sat in the back seat, and handed the small box to Jiang Yuan, "The newly baked pineapple cake and almond tofu are half-sugar, you like them taste."

The small box is no bigger than a palm, and through the transparent glass top cover, you can see that there are two small and delicate snacks inside. The mahjong-sized pineapple crisp is yellow and tender, and the two pieces are placed side by side on the black cloth. If you don’t eat it, it will be expensive. The breath rushed over.Next to the pineapple cake is almond tofu in a white porcelain bowl. The almond tofu is white with a slight milky yellow, and the surface is dotted with a delicate jasmine flower.

The seemingly ordinary snacks are packaged so that ordinary people can't afford them.

"Let's eat, it's still early when we get home." Fang Chengyan said, "Jiang Yuan, you really don't have to worry. I wanted to give you a little surprise before, so I didn't tell you."

When you are nervous, do other things to enrich yourself. Jiang Yuan does not intend to stop his mouth, and is trying to unpack the package.The transparent top cover is made of acrylic board, which has the light transmittance of glass and is lighter and safer than glass. Finally, I found a buckle and flipped it open. Small pineapple cakes and tender almond tofu appeared in front of me. Quiet fragrance, not strong but very fragrant.

Jiang Yuan, who was obsessed with opening the box, looked at Fang Chengyan, "?"

Fang Chengyan said: "In fact, I have already told my grandfather that the lover I want to bring is of the same sex."

Jiang Yuan looked at him suspiciously, "Liar."

Fang Chengyan assured, "Really."

Jiang Yuan didn't believe it, so he raised his hand and patted Fang Chengyan's shoulder, "I know, you just said this to comfort me because you saw that I was too nervous. I must be full of confidence at the gate of your house, and I'm not nervous at all, it's just warming up now. I care about you, this time I'm meeting your most important relative, and that's why I'm so nervous."

"I actually told Grandpa."

Jiang Yuan had an expression of "I understand, I understand", "Ann, don't worry, I won't be nervous anymore. Come, eat pineapple, one piece is just right for each person."

Holding a piece of pineapple in one hand, Jiang Yuan touched it, "Cheers."

Fang Cheng said: "..."

Xituan’s pineapple cakes are crispy on the outside, sweet but not greasy on the inside, and the fibers of the pineapple can be clearly seen after biting open. Thoughts on pineapple cake.As for the almond tofu, Jiang Yuan has not only eaten it, but also made it himself. The tofu-like tofu is the best, with a silky taste and a pleasant fragrance.Now some merchants use gelatin to make almond tofu directly for convenience. The finished product is the same as jelly. Although the taste is not bad, it is far inferior to the bowl I eat now.

Jiang Yuan: "Woo~ It's so delicious that I cry."

Fang Chengyan laughed and shook his head, not arguing with Jiang Yuan, "You will know when you get to the place."

There is only a mountain road enough for two cars to go in and out of Daqing Mountain. Jiang Yuan still remembers this, especially remembering that he met Li Youfu's family when he was delivering peanuts to Xiong Benxiong of Bodhi Temple. The closure of the mountain on that day made Jiang Yuan I have been complaining about the only way in and out for a long time.

"What if the road is closed again? And if something bad happens, won't the people in the mountain be unable to get out?" Don't blame Jiang Yuan for thinking too much. I would think less, the mountains and forests are complicated, mudslides, heavy rain, earthquakes... I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. "Some time ago, there was a forest fire somewhere, and it burned for several days and nights. There are too few escape routes in Daqingshan, which is terrible."

Fang Cheng said: "..." I don't know what to say, just keep silent.

Jiang Yuan was still worried, "There are so many people in the mountain, if you accidentally throw a cigarette butt or drop a lighter... it will be a horror and disaster movie."

A wooden sign happened to appear on the side of the road. At a glance, it was known that it was made by the residents of the mountain. It said "set fire to the mountain, and sit in prison".Look, the residents in the mountains know the horror of wildfires.When he got closer, Jiang Yuan suddenly found a line of slightly smaller characters under the eight big characters, which said, "If you want to play with fire to your heart's content, come to xxx farmhouse, where you can have campfire parties, roast lamb, and fire barbecues."

Jiang Yuan: "...haha, so optimistic." The slap in the face came too fast, and he was not used to it.

"There is more than one way out of the mountain."

Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded, "How is it possible?!" He has lived in Nanzhou City for so many years, and he still has a little understanding of Daqingshan.

This is the first time I saw trolls criticizing this point on the Internet. It is not wrong to make a mistake and spray the fart on the beautiful and livable Daqing Mountain.Having said everything he knew, Jiang Yuanyi clenched his fist and waved it a few times in indignation, "Just because Daqingshan has this problem, we can't stand it if we spray it back."

Fang Chengyan, who was sitting next to Jiang Yuan, hadn't said anything yet, but Si Wei, who had been pretending to be a set board and kept silent, spoke up, and he said with a strange face: "There is not just one way in and out of Daqingshan, it's just that we go now. This road is more convenient and quicker. Many farmhouses and temples in the mountains are opened along this road, which creates an illusion. There are more than 20 roads in and out, and there are dedicated fire exits. Helicopters are on standby at any time. Once found, it will be contained in time, and there are 24-hour patrols on the mountain. The weather forecast is monitored around the clock, and soil erosion is impossible on the mountain. Geological experts must thoroughly patrol the mountain every six months to detect changes in the soil layer, etc. .”

In the end, I concluded, "The rich cherish their lives."

Jiang Yuan was speechless and could only express that poverty limited his imagination.If he sees trolls on the Internet in the future, he will definitely not be angry again, but he is just a frog in a well who has never seen the world, and he has the ability to buy a house on Daqingshan!

It took only half an hour to reach the road to Shangfang’s mansion. The road was directly dug out of a small section of rocks. There are three or four meter high mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road. They are covered with large bluestone and cement, adding a lot of indescribable low-key luxurious.Street lamps with simple and elegant shapes welcome you, and there are large flower vats under the lamps. The beautiful aquatic plants in the flower vats are still green and tender in autumn.

At the end of the asphalt road, there is a horizontal road. The road goes around the mansion, and the two ends lead to nowhere.Get off the bus here, there are still [-] steps to climb, and the wide gate of Fang's house is only after walking.From the outside of the gate, there is no trace of modernity at all, and the simplicity reveals the charm of a long history.The front door opened to welcome the distinguished guests. Jiang Yuan crossed the vermilion threshold and stepped into the square house with his head held high, full of fighting spirit, his confident face glowed, his clear eyes could speak, and there was no restlessness in the car.

After getting off the car, Jiang Yuan is different, he is not Jiang Yuan 1.0 now, he is Jiang Yuan 2.0 full of confidence, no matter how difficult or insulting Grandpa Fang is, he will bear it one by one, abducting the old man's favorite grandson , Scold a few words what's wrong, it won't lose a piece of meat.

Follow Fang Chengyan all the way through the corridor, pass the garden, and pass through the moon gate to see the main hall.The Fang family is very rich, but it is still an ordinary family. There are no complicated rules for children and grandchildren to abide by. They usually see guests in the flower hall or the waterside pavilion by the lake. Today, they came to the main hall solemnly, which shows the importance they attach to Jiang Yuan.But Jiang Yuan didn't know that he was still strutting, ready to welcome the storm.

While walking, Fang Chengyan introduced to Jiang Yuan, "The mansion lives with the grandfather, my sister-in-law and his wife, the unmarried daughter of my sister-in-law's family, and the nephew and grandson of my grandmother's family."

Grandma Fang worked hard to start a business with her grandfather, and suffered a lot, but died suddenly when she was about to enjoy the blessings. Grandpa would lament for a long time whenever he mentioned his wife.Grandma and grandpa had three children together, the family of Fang Chengyan, the eldest room, and the family of Fang Chengyan, the second room, the family of uncle Fang Chengyan. The daughter suffered from a disease when she was young, and her legs and feet were not flexible. The bodyguard fell in love afterwards, and the two got married.My uncle is a veteran. The year I met my aunt, he had just retired from the army and changed jobs. He had only been a bodyguard for his grandfather for a month.

For such an important matter as the daughter's marriage, the grandfather will definitely check it strictly. After layers of inspections, the possibility of intentional approach is ruled out. It is determined that the acquaintance of the two people was an accident. After the proposal, the uncle knew that the aunt was the daughter of this family, not the daughter of the family. Cleaners.

Jiang Yuan memorized the personnel structure of the Fang family, and when he entered the main hall, he saw the old man of the Fang family sitting at the head, a hale and hearty old man, every wrinkle on his face told a wealth of life experience, and his eyes were full of wisdom. .

Seeing Jiang Yuan, the old man smiled kindly, not intending to serve him with sticks at all.When I saw the old man, I seemed to see Fang Chengyan when he was old (something that couldn't happen), with the same eyebrows and eyes.

Below the old man, sat a middle-aged couple. The man had a tough face and an upright sitting posture. Although he was in his middle age, he did not show any sign of gaining weight. Both his appearance and figure were in good condition.The woman is intellectual and gentle, and the good genes of the Fang family can tell at a glance that the woman is from the Fang family.

They are Fang Chengyan's aunt and uncle.

Jiang Yuan looked over, and they smiled kindly at him.There was doubt in the aunt's eyes. She probably was very puzzled that her nephew brought a man back. What was even more puzzled was that the father actually agreed and did not lose his temper.My aunt looked at Fang Chengyan. She couldn't understand this nephew, but she knew that after Fang Chengyan took over the Fang family, her family would not be driven away, so she didn't have any worries.

Behind her aunt and uncle stood a long-haired woman who was less than thirty years old, with light makeup on, and the shadow of the Fang family could be vaguely seen on her face, but she inherited more from her father genetically, and was less gentle and heroic. Jiang Yuan nodded, he didn't see any closeness, but he didn't hate it either.

A good start, Jiang Yuan's heart fell, and the burning flame called fighting spirit was put away, and the clear and optimistic young man stood there. As long as he accepted Fang Chengyan's setting that he likes men, the two stood together It's a couple.

As for the disharmonious factor, ignore it, it's just that people with foreign surnames living in Fang's house have no right to show hostility towards Jiang Yuanmu, Fang Chengyan showed a distressed look.

This person either has a bag in his head or deliberately attracts Fang's family's attention. It's not a good thing anyway.

He was talking about the late Grandma Fang's natal nephew and grandson, a man over 1.8 years old standing beside Mr. Fang, wearing a yuppie-style suit, trying to stand upright, but unfortunately not tall enough, the most typical southern man's height , much shorter than Jiang Yuan, even if he tried his best, he was not [-] meters tall.

Fang Chengyan yelled, "Grandpa." After yelling, he solemnly introduced the person standing beside him, "I brought the love I want to spend my whole life with, and his name is Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Fang Chengyan to introduce it so directly.It doesn't matter if you are stupid, the subconscious instinct is still there, shouting after Fang Chengyan, "Grandpa." He also bowed very carefully, and said loudly: "I will be good to Fang Chengyan, forever."

The sudden loud sound drew the lips of his nephew and grandson to sneer, but he didn't know that the old man was very happy, and he said "yes" three times in a row, as if he had got a male granddaughter-in-law, and he was very happy.Grandpa Fang prepared a red envelope, and when Jiang Yuan finished shouting, he let Jiang Yuan go over, took Jiang Yuan's hand and said, "Good boy, take the red envelope. Grandpa wishes you peace and beauty and happiness for a long time."

Grandpa has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen anything. When he was young, there was a teacher in a private school and a butcher in the town. The butcher’s family had meat every day and ate meat every day. Those messy rumors couldn’t affect it at all The butcher raised his husband to be fat and rosy, and he secretly envied too many people.

Jiang Yuan took the big red envelope, his head was in a mess, and he was still in a state of confusion and couldn't get out.Later, Fang Chengyan called aunt and uncle lightly, and Jiang Yuan called after him, and got two more red envelopes.

As for the younger sister of the same generation, she was the only one who stepped forward to call Fang Chengyan and Jiang Yuan, so there was no need for Jiang Yuan to chase him to get close.

Before entering the main hall, Fang Chengyan told Jiang Yuan that as long as the entire Fang family is nice to grandpa, everyone else is just a foil, and if there is anything unpleasant to say, just go straight to it, without taking any face into consideration.

No need!

Fang Chengyan's detached identity is destined to be different in the Fang family, and others will depend on him to survive.

The time card is quite accurate, it will be lunch time soon after arriving at Fang's house, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and family banquet, although the main event is at night, the lunch at noon is still good.The table is full, not just superficial dishes that look good or not, but real dishes that are full of color, flavor and taste, such as braised pork with thick oily red sauce, green and sweet rapeseed heart, and crispy amber Shrimp, plump and delicious steamed sea bass... are all authentic local dishes of Nanzhou City.

Grandpa Fang, "Xiao Jiang, you're welcome. It's the first time you come to the house and you don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared a table of home-cooked dishes. Don't be disgusted."

Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hand, "Why, I like anything delicious, let alone local dishes, which are delicious from snack to adult."

Grandpa Fang smiled. He likes children who are not picky eaters and have a good appetite. "Okay, eat more if you like. Treat yourself like your own home. From now on, this will be your home."

Jiang Yuan smiled back, sitting upright, fully embodying obedience, "Good grandpa, the place where Fang Chengyan is located is my home."

Grandpa Fang liked to hear these words even more.

After the meal, grandpa asked Fang Cheng to say a few words, and Jiang Yuan, in order to show his appetite, ate a little and went outside to digest.

Standing under the porch, the yard is full of flowers, lush vegetation, and rockery flowers and trees complement each other. Looking beyond the courtyard wall, there are tall trees revealing shaded canopies. Standing on the trees are snow-white water birds with only black feet.When you look back, you can see the orchids placed in the corridor with your head down. They are not expensive species, but they are dense, slender and charming in leaves, and they are the best green plants to decorate the corridor.

There were footsteps behind him, Jiang Yuan turned around and called out politely, "Uncle, aunt."

Uncle was reticent, nodding his head was regarded as a greeting. During the meal, he did not speak more than five times, which did not add up to a hundred words.My aunt is friendly and rarely expresses any objection. She has been attached to the authority of the man in the family all her life. After talking to Jiang Yuan with a smile, people who are not familiar with her don't have to force her to show intimacy, and leave with a few polite words.

Jiang Yuan continued to wait until Fang Chengyan arrived, and Fang Chengyan took him to his room, which would also belong to Jiang Yuan from now on.

On the way, Jiang Yuan finally asked the question that he had held back for a meal, "Say, tell me quickly, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour grandpa on?"

Fang Chengyan let Jiang Yuan pull his arm but didn't say anything.

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "If you don't say anything, you will be punished and punished to sleep on the sofa!" After speaking, he burst out laughing, and when his parents quarreled, his mother would rush his father to sleep on the sofa.For the "convenience" of Dad sleeping on the sofa, the sofas bought at home are single or double small seats, not for sleeping at all.Dad often nestled on the sofa until midnight, and then he would go back to the room, and the next day, Mom and Dad reconciled_(:3ゝ∠)_.

Fang Chengyan reached out and rubbed Jiang Yuan's smiling face, and finally announced the answer, "Grandpa and I met in a dream."

Jiang Yuan was surprised, "You know that you exposed your big vest to grandpa! How did grandpa react?"

Fang Chengyan couldn't help laughing when he thought of his grandfather laughing with arms akimbo in his dream, "Very proud."
