"You flower-picking thief! Ruolan! Help me catch him!" Kaixin grabbed Bai Lian who was about to run away and greeted Ruolan who was holding back laughter.

Under the moonlight, the three of them cast their figures laughing and playing on the road.

When we returned to Anping City, it was already late at night, and the number of pedestrians on the streets began to gradually become less and less.

Turn left along the main road of Anping City and pass by a closed bank. About a hundred meters ahead, you will find Lin Mansion.

Magistrate Lin is the parent official of Anping City, and has been a wealthy family in Anping for generations.[

I used to often listen to my neighbor's doctor Hu recite: "The wine and meat of the rich family smells bad, and the roads are frozen to death." I have never understood the essence of the period, but now I understand it.

People in Anping City have been in panic ever since it was said that bandits were infested. I was happy to see that the houses in Anping City were slightly taller and grander than those in the village. When I saw the Lin Mansion, I realized that it was indeed ridiculously big.

Kaixin didn't know what style an official's residence should be, but Lin Mansion obviously occupies a very large area, like an ancient castle:

The center of the building is the mansion, which is surrounded by high walls and has double-story turrets at the four corners of the building.

The entire layout is divided into east and west parts. The west side is the house, and from south to north are the main door, the middle door, and the hall. The east side is the front and rear courtyards, surrounded by corridors. There is a well in the front yard, and a watchtower stands in the back yard.

Passing through the middle gate is the back hall, where the servants' quarters, stables and warehouses are located. What's more, there is an arsenal with all kinds of swords, crossbows, and spears.

This Lin Mansion can be called a royal palace, and the clothes of the servants who come and go during this period are much brighter than those of ordinary people outside.

Seeing it happily, I secretly marveled in my heart, thinking of my father who had just passed away. When his father's clothes were broken, he mended them again and again but couldn't bear to buy new ones. Aunt Hu, the wife of the neighbor Dr. Hu, sent a new one.

Thinking that a kind and upright man like his father was in poverty and had only a short grave when he died, yet he came to live in such a high bed and soft pillows shortly after his father's death. I couldn't help but feel sad. But I also thought of the villagers' treatment of me and myself.

My father's care also filled my heart with a warm current.

While they were thinking about it, the servants had led them to the living room, where Magistrate Lin and his son Lin Hai were waiting for them.

Seeing Ruolan's safe return, County Magistrate Lin hurriedly greeted her: "Oh! Ruolan, where have you been and why are you back now?"

Ruolan quickly replied: "Uncle, two friends and I went to the back mountain to check."

"God! Why are you so disobedient!" County Magistrate Lin was so angry that the two beards on his mouth were about to fly: "I told you there were robbers, you, you are so young and beautiful! What if that Ling Xiao plots something evil against you?

,Then how can I be worthy of your dead father?"

Kaixin and Bai Lian couldn't talk, so they had to stand aside. While Magistrate Lin spoke, others naturally did not dare to speak out.

I was happy to see that Magistrate Lin and Ruolan had some similarities in their facial expressions, but Magistrate Lin was now an official, so he naturally became blessed, and with the look of anxious blowing his beard and staring, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

Suddenly he felt his arm being hit by someone, and Bai Lian whispered softly: "Hey, Ruolan's cousin, why are you looking at us?"
