Another day, on the streets of the royal capital, officers, soldiers, and girls on the arms of officers and soldiers were coming and going.

The same scene occurs in cities large and small on the east side.

A new custom was accidentally created. They made a marriage contract before the war and got married after the war.

Countless men and women are doing this kind of extremely romantic thing. The best criteria for choosing a mate for women is that they must be soldiers on the first day. If they are more reckless, those who are already married want to abandon their wives and children and marry a soldier.

.

Nearly four-fifths of the recruits in the Taihe platoon took the girl to Yu Lian's home. When they arrived, everyone's mouths were as wide open as they had ever been in their lives.

The manor outside the royal capital of the Yu family covers an area of ​​​​calculated in hectares. The outside is an iron fence. Looking in from the fence, you can only see lawns, endless lawns, as if this is a pasture.

There is also a river in his house, which is connected to the river used by the residents of the royal capital for domestic water. You can go boating on this river.

Because of this river, many structures were built around the river, such as a pavilion built on the river, and high-end products such as fountains.

The gate is also made of iron. From the gate to the residence, the entire road including the branch roads is planted with trees.

The moment the recruits arrived together, they already had serious suspicions that they were driving to the wrong place.

The ladies were even more ecstatic and kissed their male partners desperately.

Da Zhuang looked at the greeting gift in his hand and was considering whether to take it in or not.

The door of the manor slowly opened, and the tall old butler put one hand behind his back and politely invited the new recruits to come in, not forgetting to introduce them while leading the way.

"The master never invites guests to visit. You are the first visitors in several years. I'm really sorry. The carriage in the manor has been donated, so we can only walk there."

The new recruits did not dare to challenge him and followed the housekeeper obediently.

Xiang Du thought he had seen good accommodation before, but this was the first time he had seen one like this.

He tiptoed close to Know-How and asked in great surprise: "Have you ever done this before? That's amazing. The brothers will be counting on you later. If there is any etiquette problem, be sure to remind him."

"I'll try my best."

Bai Shitong touched his forehead, sweating like rain.

The growth positions of the street trees on both sides should be calculated. When planting, each hole must be parallel.

The recruits were shocked by the huge manor. If this was considered abjection, what would it look like if it was not abjection?

Da Zhuang asked quietly: "Brothers, what kind of nobleman do you think Lao Yu is? Second-class Marquis? First-class Marquis? Not the Grand Duke, right?"

The other soldiers discussed it in various ways, but they still couldn't explain it clearly, and there was no convincing reason.

Everyone focused their attention on Bai Shitong, who simply ignored these glances and acted as if he had nothing to do with this moment.

In the end, I was really annoyed by the new recruits and said anxiously: "You don't know how to ask yourself? Isn't there someone who understands in front of you?"

The old butler of the Yu family manor had an extraordinary aura and a straight back, giving people an absolutely unapproachable feeling. No one dared to take the initiative to talk to such a person.

Perhaps it was the responsibility of the housekeeper, so he took the initiative to talk to the recruits: "I came here when I was fourteen years old. Counting Master Yu Lian, I have served three masters before and after. If you have any questions about the manor, you can ask me. Including everyone in the manor.

What a facility is used for, everyone’s name, etc.”

The recruits nodded, anxious in their hearts, and had only walked half the distance.

After walking not far, they saw a bloated man leading sixteen dogs, walking proudly on the lawn with the dogs.

The butler introduced again: "That's Mr. An, who trains hounds for the master. Before the autumn harvest, the master will go out hunting. This is the tradition of the Yu family."

In the eyes of the recruits, the image of the dog trainer grew taller, and the sixteen dogs became extremely extraordinary.

There are endless trees on the street. At the last intersection, you can see a fountain if you go forward. If you go both ways, you really don't know where you will end up.

The old housekeeper can always give you explanations when you have doubts.

"In front is the main building of the manor, where the master lives. From here, go to the left and you can reach the residence of the servants. To the right, you will see the river and a cliff. The river can be used for fishing, boating, swimming, and the cliff.

Can be used for rock climbing.”

He led the recruits around the fountain and directly to the main building of the manor.

The recruits looked up and saw that there were four floors. Each floor had about twenty windows, and all of them were larger than a human being.

Facing the main entrance is a twenty-meter-wide staircase with fifty-four steps.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for you. Please come in."

The old housekeeper pushed open the brown wooden door and invited the guests in.

Xiang Du was thinking about whether he should step his left foot first or his right foot first. He had never felt his own insignificance like he did today.

I have heard people say that there may be many wealthy people in your platoon in the army. They live in seclusion and do not reveal their identities.

However, money has its limitations. Being able to own such a huge mansion on the outskirts of the royal capital is really not something ordinary people can do.

Because of this, they were even more curious about how many mistakes Yu Lian, a down-and-out nobleman, had made to lose such a huge family fortune.

He must be a grandfather.

The recruits confirmed their suspicions and filed in.

The living room of the main building is very high. It should be connected to the first and second floors. It is supported by four beautifully carved stone pillars. If you want to go upstairs, you still need to walk up a very wide staircase.

Yu Na dressed in a maid outfit greeted her in the living room and bowed slightly to salute.

The old housekeeper did not follow the others into the house and disappeared after closing the door.

"Why did you bring something with you?" Yu Lian accepted the meeting gifts brought by several recruits, "My young master doesn't like to be polite, so you don't have to be so reserved next time."

The artist blurted out: "Can you be less formal?"

After Yu Na accepted these gifts, the recruits felt obviously much better.

"It turns out that there are paintings hanging here. The young master didn't like them, so he took them all down." Yu Na pointed to the empty walls around her, "Actually, I don't like those paintings either. They are old and very troublesome to clean every time."

.”

The walls must have been repainted, and there are no traces of paintings that were once hung.

The artist asked: "Who is Lao Yu? Sorry, where is Mr. Yu? Aren't you his sister? Why are you dressed like this?"

"I have always been a servant." Yu Na smiled happily, "The young master is in the underground wine cellar. He wants to personally select wine for you. If you are willing, you can go and have a look. It will give me some suggestions for my young master."

The recruits felt uncomfortable staying where they were, so they happily headed to the wine cellar.

The humidity in the wine cellar is very high and the temperature is not high, which makes people who enter the wine cellar feel chilly and shiver unconsciously.

At this time, Yu Lian was holding an oil lamp covered with glass and used the light of the oil lamp to examine the age of the wine.

The wine stored here is available in barrels and bottles.

He took a small glass of wine and handed it to Know-How behind him.

"Come on, how about you try this?"

Bai Shitong smiled at first, and then took a sip of it in a pretentious manner. The wine was particularly mild and flowed slowly down his throat.

After he finished the small glass, he said, "Okay, not bad."

"As long as you like it."

Yu Lian smiled, then looked at Yu Na: "The ladies don't wear much and can't adapt to the temperature down there, so we'd better take the ladies up."

"Yes, Master." Yu Na saluted and replied, "Ladies, please come with me."

Later, Yu Lian took the recruits to select in the wine cellar. The recruits did not dare to make mistakes at all, and they drank and smelled as they were told.

It took them almost half an hour to choose the drinks. In fact, they didn't even understand it at all.

They were amazed by the magnificence of this manor, and even more amazed by Yu Lian himself, who did not have any arrogance that a noble should have.

Xiang Du still remembers being subjected to the arrogance of the servant and housekeeper in front of the house of a certain second-class marquis.

Although he was equally uncomfortable here, it was much better than being shut out.

Before leaving the wine cellar, the artist couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yu Lian, what is your identity? What level of nobleman were you once?"
