These are the rules of the Xiao family. All the children of the Xiao family must follow the rules here if they want to enter the courtyard where the head of the Xiao family lives.
The level of inspection is no less stringent than that of any confidential unit in the United States.
Xiao Chang looked out the window indifferently, looking at the vast courtyard, the towering ancient trees, the gurgling trickle, and the elegant pavilions, and felt incomprehensible.
Soon, he will move in here and become the head of the Xiao family that everyone envies. He can sit on the pineapple chair that has been around for hundreds of years and calmly point out the Xiao family's affairs and manage the Xiao family's affairs.
All living things.
For this top position, the children of the Xiao family fought overtly and secretly, each using dirty tricks and even harming their own flesh and blood relatives, just like Xiao Situ.
Thinking of the tragic death of his parents, Xiao Chang couldn't help but feel that the huge courtyard of the Xiao family was filled with a strong smell of blood, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
He doesn't like it here very much.
Really don't like it.
If he had a choice, he would rather be an ordinary person, like all the white-collar workers in the world, munching on bread while squeezing the subway, busy and fulfilled, and only eager to create a world of his own through his own efforts.
It's a pity that he happens to be a member of the Xiao family. He carries the hatred of his parents and the earnest expectations of his grandfather. He can't simply give up and leave...
When the car drove to an underground stone chamber, he said to Ah Wei calmly: "Let them put Xiao Situ and Wu Xiaobo into the stone chamber temporarily! I'll go see Grandpa first."
"Yes." Ah Wei nodded and called the car following them. After making arrangements, he continued to drive Xiao Chang and finally stopped in front of an antique pavilion.
In fact, the entire Xiao family's house was built by the Xiao family's father based on the Xiao family's ancient house in Zhongzhong. It is a typical garden that has both the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River and the simplicity and majesty of the north. The combination of the two complements each other.
.
There are many courtyards here. The Xiao family used to live here in separate courtyards.
But as the times changed, as people's hearts changed, and after the incident where the old man of the Xiao family, Xiao Zimo, killed his younger brother with his own hands, Xiao Zimo ordered all the children of the Xiao family to go out and buy their own homes.
settle down.
And this place has actually become the fixed residence of the head of the Xiao family.
Of course, it is also the place where all decisions of the Xiao family are made.
Xiao Chang opened the door and got out of the car, raised his head and glanced around briefly, and then walked in.
"Young master, you are here!" As soon as he entered the hall, Uncle Fang, the Xiao family's housekeeper, hurriedly came forward and said, "The master is reading in the study. Please sit down for a while and I will go and report."
Xiao Chang raised his hand and said, "No need! I'll go see Grandpa in person."
As he spoke, he strode upstairs with his feet up.
Uncle Fang was a little stunned, because this was very against the rules. In the past, anyone who wanted to see Xiao Zimo had to notify him and get Xiao Zimo's approval before he could see him.
Xiao Chang, as the grandson of the Xiao family, is very familiar with this.
Moreover, his temperament has always been calm and steady, and he has always behaved well in front of the old man, but today he acted so recklessly, it seems that something serious has really happened!
Uncle Fang looked at Xiao Chang's hurried back with some uneasiness, feeling vaguely that the Xiao family, which had been peaceful for many years, was afraid of another bloody storm.
