Xu Yunyuan lowered her head, feeling sweet in her heart, but with a slightly sad look on her face.

She knew as clearly as a mirror, how could things be so simple?

Having grown up in the Xu family, she naturally knows the Xu family's rules and the temper of the patriarch.

If your grandfather was a man who could be forced into submission by force or emotion, then he would no longer have the reputation of "contemporary Fang Xiaoru".

But now that Chen Tianhua insisted on visiting him in person, she had no choice.

Seemingly sensing Xu Yunyuan's worry, Chen Tianhua stretched out his hand to pull the beauty into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything!"

"Um!"

Xu Yunyuan responded in a low voice, nestled herself into the man's broad chest, closed her eyes slightly, and listened to his strong heartbeat. At this moment, she only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is located in the south of Qingpu County, Shanghai. It is nearly a hundred miles from Huaihai Road to the ancient town. The ruts of the carriage keep moving forward on the bluestone road. The horses' hooves hit the stone slabs with a crisp sound, and in the quiet fields

It looks extremely crisp inside.

The whole journey was silent and everyone had their own thoughts. Around noon, the horse team entered the ancient town of Zhujiajiao. After a while, the team stopped in front of a huge manor.

"Major General, we're here!" Feige leaned in front of the car window and whispered.

In the carriage, Xu Yunyuan's body suddenly shook. Chen Tianhua clearly felt the trembling of the woman in his arms. He held her slender hand slightly tightly, opened the curtain and said loudly to the outside of the car:

"I went to inform him and send him a greeting card. I told him that Chen Tianhua, an old friend from Zhejiang, came to visit Mr. Xu Haitao."

"clear…"

Fei Ge jumped off the horse and made a gesture, and Yu Yang and others immediately spread out around the carriage and surrounded it.

Meiyuan is actually the residence of Xu Haitao, the great silk king in the south of the Yangtze River.

They are all mansions. In the north, they are named after a certain country's Duke's Palace, Gaofu, and Yang's Palace, while in the south of the Yangtze River, they like to call them a certain garden or a certain garden.

In later generations, you can get a glimpse of the Humble Administrator's Garden, Liuyuan Garden, and Yiyuan Garden in Suzhou; He Garden, Ge Garden, and Yayuan Garden in Yangzhou.

It can be seen from the naming of the Di Di that most wealthy families in the north are officials, while most wealthy families in the south are businessmen.

The wealthy families in the north use power to seek money, while the wealthy families in the south use money to seek power.

Although they are only separated by a river, their cultural heritage, customs and customs are quite different for thousands of years.

But in the final analysis, no matter whether you are leaning to the left or to the right, in the endless river of history, the words power and money can never be washed away. The past, present, and future seem to be eternal.

A huge mansion appeared in front of me, shaded by green trees, undulating walls, and an unfathomable courtyard.

Chen Tianhua looked out from the curtains and saw that the walls were covered with green and black moss, indicating that the house had some memories of the past.

There are two stone braves in front of the house, which are said to be evil spirits. It is customary in the north to place two stone lions, said to show authority.

But these two stone Pixiu statues are also a bit old, with a history of several decades. Facing everyone on the steps is the four-door tangled red lacquer door.

There is a plaque hanging above the gate with the large round seal character "Meiyuan".

The door is closed tightly, and there is no servant guarding the door. This is very different from the Li Mansion's official residence.

The flying pigeon came forward and knocked on the big brass ring on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

After pausing for a moment and seeing no movement, he knocked three more times.

After a while, the sound of wooden slippers came from the courtyard. It could be judged that a servant wearing wooden slippers came out.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside, and then the door opened a crack, and an old man with white hair poked his head out and looked at Fei Ge warily, "Excuse me, this strong man, who are you looking for?

"

Fei Ge clasped his fists and said, "Please tell Mr. Xu Haitao that our old friend from Zhejiang, General Chen Tianhua, is coming to visit." With that, he handed over the greeting card.

"Chen Tianhua, this...isn't this our girl...oh, I'm going to report it now, I'm going to report it!" Old Cangtou said in surprise. He stretched out his head and glanced at the luxurious carriage and guards parked in front of the door.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Among them, the elders of the Xu family, the word Chen Tianhua is particularly harsh, equivalent to the concept of the eldest uncle of the Xu family.

"My master and the eldest lady are in the car, please go and report them quickly!" Fei Ge said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, General Chen and everyone, I'll go right away." Old Cangtou quickly agreed and left quickly.

In the car, Xu Yunyuan's face was already filled with tears, "It's Old Xu who is looking at the front door of the Xu Mansion." She whispered.

Chen Tianhua knew very well how she was worrying about gains and losses at this time. Ever since the accident in Meishan Town, Changxing, she had never returned to Meiyuan, Xu's Manor in Zhujiajiao. She had only met her parents in private many times in the city of Shanghai.

, but she has never seen her grandfather, family elders, or even other brothers and sisters again.

It's really nostalgic to hear a familiar voice suddenly.

Chen Tianhua wiped away the tears on her cheeks with pity, "Okay, I'm going to cry now. Wouldn't it be even more sad to see my grandparents and relatives in the clan later? I should be happy today!"

Her body twitched slightly, and Xu Yunyuan forced a smile, "Yes, I should be happy, but I don't know if they still recognize me as their granddaughter?"

"Of course I will recognize it." Chen Tianhua smiled and said:

"Who is Xu Yunyuan? She is a big shot in our Jiangnan Meiguang Autonomous Region. She is a snow fox that makes the whole Jiangnan land tremble when she stomps her feet. Think of Chen Er, Song Xiaoniu, Gu Zhunian and others, when they see you, they are like mice.

Like a cat, you should have this confidence."

Hearing Chen Tianhua's joking remarks, Xu Yunyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yes, Xu Yunyuan is no longer the sentimental and weak woman she once was. Instead, she is a person who holds great power and can change the situation with just a flip of her hand. Several years of experience have allowed her to

A lot has changed, how could I have imagined the changes I have had today?

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps in the Xu family courtyard, and Xu Chengzhou, the chief steward of the Xu family, walked out nervously.

The Xu family was preparing to have lunch when they suddenly saw a greeting card coming in from the old man. Xu Haitao's face changed drastically when he saw it, and he felt both happy and worried inside.

Fortunately, the famous young master Chen Tianhua, who was the savior of his daughter Xu Yunyuan, is willing to pay a formal visit in person this time, which means that he has figured it out or cleared all the joints and is ready to officially marry his eldest daughter Xu Yunyuan.

What worries me is the attitude of his father, Xu Zhengyin, the current patriarch of the Xu family.

If the Chen family wants to marry through a matchmaker, with eight large sedans and a grand ceremony in the Xu family compound in Zhujiajiao, they must obtain the consent of the Xu clan chief and other clan elders, and must perform a ceremony such as kowtows at the Xu clan's ancestral hall.

But even Xu Haitao is worried that his old father may not agree with this.
