In Haicheng, at the entrance of a large mansion in a high-end residential area, a taxi stopped, the door of the back seat opened, and a girl got out of the car.

He is about 1.68 meters tall and has a well-proportioned figure. He is dressed in a white T-shirt with nine-point black cloth pants and white shoes. His long ink hair tied with a high ponytail and is still as long as his waist.

It was noon when she got off the bus, and the sun was very sunny. She raised her hand slightly to cover the sunlight and looked at the mansion ahead. Under the fierce sunlight, the girl's appearance could not be seen very clearly, but her temperament could not be hidden.

The elegance is quiet, giving people the feeling of being a lady from a noble family in ancient times.

She glanced at the mansion in front of her and withdrew her gaze, walked around the back of the taxi and opened the trunk to get the luggage. The taxi master thought that a girl with small arms and legs could not be taken. As soon as she got off the car and was about to help, she saw her easily take out the suitcase.

"The little girl is very strong!" the taxi master praised.

The girl smiled slightly in response.

Only then did she see her face clearly.

It is very beautiful, but not the kind of ostentatious beauty. She is very restrained and special. Her upright appearance is like the dignified look that comes from the picture of a lady, which makes people feel very comfortable.

After saying thank you and paying the fare, he was about to drag his suitcase toward the mansion not far away, and a person came towards him.

"May I ask, is it Miss Shi Yan?"

The person who came was in his fifties looked like a very kind old man.

Shi Yan smiled slightly: "I am Shi Yan, hello."

When the old man saw Shi Yan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was very knowledgeable and quickly came back to his senses: "My name is Jiang Hai, and I am the housekeeper of the Jiang family in Haicheng. The old lady has gone out for a while and has not been in Haicheng these days. Let me receive Miss Shi."

"I'm sorry for you."

"Don't bother, don't bother, I learned that Miss Shi was admitted to Haicheng University, and the old lady has been talking about you for a long time and has been looking forward to you. If it weren't for the old friend who suddenly became sick, the old lady would go to visit her, I'm afraid she wouldn't leave when you came."

Shi Yan smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I miss her."

"It is worth thinking about you, you saved the old lady's life."

"It's just a coincidence that I can't take the word "save"."

"Miss Shi is too modest. If you save the old lady, it is a great kindness for the Jiang family in Yu Haicheng. I will help you get the suitcase."

Before Shi Yan could answer, he took the suitcase.

Shi Yan didn't argue with him. Although the suitcase was a bit heavy, it didn't take much effort to drag it around like this.

She smiled and thanked her.

The Jiang family in Haicheng is worthy of being a big family in Haicheng. The house is very large, and the gate is a long stone path. The stone path is very wide and can accommodate two cars in parallel. On both sides are rows of trees that can only be hugged by one person with his arms open. It is obvious that it has been many years.

The stone slabs were cleaned very clean and there were basically no fallen leaves.

"Often the car is driven in directly. Miss Shi, you don't let us send a car to the airport to pick it up. The taxi can only reach the door, so we have to walk a while." Jiang Hai explained patiently.

"I'm here to help you." Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Miss Shi, you should have more exercises in my old bones. It's nothing to walk some roads. I'm afraid you find it difficult to walk."

"I'm fine. I've lived in the countryside for many years and worked a lot. It's no problem to walk some roads."

Jiang Hai smiled and said, "Since you saved the old lady three years ago, you have to take care of you at your house for half a month. When I came back, I have been talking about how outstanding and sensible you are. Now when I see you, I know that the old lady has not exaggerated it."

"You are too rewarded." A faint smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Hai praised him in his heart.

No wonder the old lady kept reading, who doesn’t like such a sensible, well-behaved, decent and not humble or arrogant child?

Just looking at it like this, it is really hard to believe that she is a country child.

From words and deeds to behaviors to smiles, everything is appropriate, and it is even more elegant than a real lady.

"Ms. Shi and I will introduce the situation of the members of the family."

"good."

Listen quietly with a faint smile.

"In addition to the old lady, the Jiang family in Haicheng also has the old man and the eldest wife. However, the eldest son officially took over the family's business. After the old man gradually retreated, he and the eldest wife did not live in the old house forever. Only the old man and the eldest wife's children were the eldest son and the eldest wife, that is, the eldest son and the eldest wife."

"The second master and the second wife are not in contact with the family's business. They are engaged in scientific research. They often either work overtime or go on business trips, and do not live in old houses. They only have one son, the second-ranked young master in the family. They live with them and rarely go back to old houses."

"The third master is an actor and is determined to devote his life to his acting career, but he has never gotten married. He is very busy with work, often runs around the world, and rarely lives in old houses."

"Only the fifth master lives in the old house. He is in poor health and has been recuperating at home."

"This is the same composition of the members in the family. Miss Shi doesn't need to remember them deliberately, just have a count in your heart."

There are all the old man, second man, third man and fifth man, but what about the fourth master?

Thinking of this, Shi Yan did not ask rudely.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Miss Shi, you have to be polite. Even if I don't say anything, you can figure out these things out for a few days in your old house. The members of the family are not complicated. I suddenly remembered and told you so that you can know what you want and don't feel too strange and scared when I first came here."

What a caring and kind person.

"You have trouble."

Jiang Hai smiled and continued, "Miss is a month older than you. Just like you, I just finished the college entrance examination and got the admission letter. If I can't stay at home, I will accompany the old lady to visit my old friend. It is said that the lady is also admitted to Haicheng University, and you will still be in the same school in the future."

"I heard Grandma Jiang mention this on the phone."

Shi Yan smiled and said, "But in terms of grades, I am not as good as Ms. Jiang. I just happened to be on the admission line of my major. Ms. Jiang's major admission line is much higher than mine. She is even a few tens of minutes higher than her major admission line. She has passed the admission score line of Kyoto University. Grandma Jiang said that she didn't want to be too far away from home to choose Haicheng University."

"Each person has his own strengths, and our eldest lady just happens to be good at learning. Perhaps the things that Miss Shi is good at are those that our eldest lady is not good at." Because he is just a housekeeper, Jiang Hai did not judge the lady of the master's family too much, but he is already very good at speaking.

"I'm looking up to you."

"The old lady and the eldest lady are not at home. The eldest young master is in the company, but he will come back tonight. Miss Shi should be able to see him. As for the fifth master, he usually stays in his own yard and rarely goes out. Miss Shi should have no chance to meet him, but he doesn't like others to disturb him. Miss Shi will try to avoid the fifth master's yard in the old house in the future."

The last sentence was silent, but in fact it was a reminder to Shi Yan.

I have to say that Jiang Hai is indeed a very good person.

"Is there anything else to pay attention to in the old house?" In fact, I wanted to ask if there are any taboos.

But Jiang Hai said it tactfully, and Shi Yan asked a little more tactfully.

"No more, but the eldest young master has always been talking little and is relatively deserted. If he is too cold to you, I hope you don't take it to your heart and just pretend that he doesn't exist."

Finally, Jiang Hai added with a smile: "It was the old lady who asked me to tell you this."

"The old lady said she finally coaxed you to come to your house for a while before school starts. She didn't want you to live unhappy, and she didn't want you to stay for two days. She said that in the half month she lived in your house, you treated her as her grandmother. She once regarded it as her own home, and hoped that you could also treat the Haicheng Jiang family as your home."

After hearing his words, Shi Yan did not have long-term gratitude words, but only smiled and said: "Grandma Jiang is a very loving old man, worthy of respect."

Don't be arrogant or impatient.

Jiang Hai looked up to her a little more.

I felt more and more that she was not like a child who grew up in the countryside.

But she is.

According to the old lady, she lived in Miss Shi’s house for the half month. When she heard from her neighbors that Miss Shi used to live with her grandmother, she had been living alone when she was thirteen years old.

From the age of thirteen to nineteen, we graduated from the first grade to the third grade of high school, and lived alone for six years.

He is a miserable child.

But no matter how she looks, she doesn't look like a poor family can raise it, nor does she look like a poor family who becomes an orphan and lives alone at the age of thirteen.

Perhaps some people are born with good temperament?

After coming out of the tree-lined stone path, it is a large garden. In addition to all kinds of flowers, there are also rockery lotus ponds. This season is the lotus flowers blooming, which is very beautiful.

Jiang Hai pointed to a building over there and introduced: "There is the main building over there, and there is no one living there. The first floor is the main hall where guests are usually served; the second floor is the restaurant, where everyone usually eats; the third floor is arranged more elegantly. If the wife and young ladies need to wait for guests, they are all there, and they usually hold some tea parties."

"People at home will be separated into a yard and live alone when they are ten years old. Everyone has their own yard in the old house, even if they don't live here often. The yard arranged by the old lady for Miss Shi is next to her yard, and the yard of you and the eldest lady are closest to the yard of the old lady."

"I will take Miss Shi to the yard prepared by the old lady for you first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Hai was surprised again.

According to the old lady, Ms. Shi lives in the countryside with a tiled house, and the vegetables she eats are planted by herself in the yard, and the conditions are very difficult. Why did she not react at all when she first entered such a big house?

Her expression didn't look like she was afraid of being looked down upon and pretending to be calm.

She was really calm. It seemed that in her opinion, this huge house was no different from the earthen walls and tile houses in her home.

It is really rare to have such a mind at this age.

It's no wonder the old lady loves her so much.

After walking along the way for more than twenty minutes, I finally arrived at the yard arranged by the old lady for Shi Yan. The yard is separated by a wall and is not very large. It only has a two-story western-style building and a small garden.

She was sent into the yard, but Jiang Hai did not follow her into the house again.

"It's not convenient for me to get in. Next, Xiao Zhao will take Miss Shi. If you have any needs, Miss Shi will just tell Xiao Zhao that she will arrange it, or call me directly. This is my business card."

Xiao Zhao is a female servant called by Jiang Hai. She is in her thirties.

Shi Yan took his business card with both hands and smiled: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work and you will pick me up in person."
