"Haha, madam, don't worry. Reads;.( .しw0. Now that I'm here, I will naturally do my best. But everything must be seen by Mr. Ling."
Yang Ji comforted him.
"That's, that's..."
Hearing this explanation, the third lady felt much better. With people here, everything would be easier.
"Leave everything to Mr. Yang."
"Madam, it's rare for Mr. Yang to come to our house, so we'd better welcome him in first. This is the way to treat guests."
At this moment, a mellow voice came from behind. The second master, who had been silent until now, spoke.
The third lady stood at the front when welcoming the guests. The second master never said a word or objected. It was only then that he spoke up to show his background.
"That is, that is."
The third lady nodded repeatedly.
"Could this be the second master?"
Yang Ji stepped forward and said.
"Haha, do you know me? I heard that this is your first time in Zhoufu."
The second master smiled and said, but he glanced at the ghost alchemist behind Yang Ji without any trace. The ghost alchemist just didn't see it and lowered his head. He didn't care, as if he was following Yang Ji's lead in everything.
.
Just kidding, if the second master of the Ouyang family takes care of him, he, the ghost alchemist, will no longer have to hang out in the city.
"Haha, who doesn't know the reputation of the second master? Even though it is the first time for Wan Sheng to enter the city, he is still like thunder."
Yang Ji smiled and said, "I just do everything but don't know."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk, Yang Ji secretly looked at the real steward of the Ouyang family.
The middle-aged man in front of him has a swollen belly and is a little rich, but he is not as majestic as the head of a large family. When he spoke, he kept his hands behind his back, his sleeves were fluttering, and his face was smiling and full of kindness.
When anyone sees such a person, they will almost all take off their guard and not be hostile towards him.
"It's exactly the same as what the ghost alchemist described."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
Although the second master of the Ouyang family tried his best to make people forget his existence, he behaved in a friendly manner, so that no one could be wary or hostile towards him.
But this kind of harmony itself is abnormal.
Based on Yang Ji's experience, this kind of character may be more difficult to deal with than the legend says.
"Haha, he's just a freeloader, he doesn't have any reputation."
The second master smiled and looked at Yang Ji deeply when he spoke. He seemed to have a deep meaning. But I have to say that everyone likes to hear good things. [Please read the latest chapter of this book]
Yang Ji's flattering words obviously made the second master feel very comfortable.
"By the way, when I received the letter this time, I heard that the reason why Mr. Yang chose our Ouyang family is because there is an old friend in our Ouyang family. I wonder who it is?"
The second master stretched out his palm and guided Yang Ji to follow him inside, seeming to say casually.
As soon as he said this, the third lady on the side also slowed down and looked at Yang Ji with concern.
Yang Ji did not choose other noble families, but chose the Ouyang family. To be honest, both the third lady and the second master were quite curious.
No one thinks this is just luck, and almost no one in the big family believes this.
And considering that Yang Ji himself said in the letter that it was because of an old friend in the Ouyang family, this is even more curious. There is no doubt that if he knows who it is, he can tie Yang Ji firmly to
On the chariot of the Ouyang family.
If the Ouyang family can have this promising upstart in alchemy to assist them, then not only the third young master, but also all the other disciples of the Ouyang family will have an extra layer of security.
"Haha, it's a long story. Let's wait until the Third Young Master is cured. Don't you think so, Third Madam?"
Yang Ji said without leaving any trace.
"That's, that's..."
The third lady kept saying. Although she was curious, but compared to Saburo's injury, what were these trivial matters?
The second master may value these things, but she, a woman, would not care.
With the two in front and Yang Ji behind, the group passed through the open red door and entered the mansion of the Ouyang family. This was the first time for Yang Ji to enter the interior of a large family.
The interior of the Ouyang Family is very grand and vast. Directly opposite the gate, a huge blue stone statue of more than 20 feet stands tall and majestic.
The stone statue's clothes are fluttering and its expression is extraordinary. A large stone sword in its right hand seems to be about to shoot out of the sky at any time and pierce the sky.
Looking at the face of the stone statue, it is majestic and solemn. It is very similar to the second master next to Yang Ji. It seems to be an ancestor of the Ouyang family.
Inside the stone statue, there are various gardens full of exotic flowers and plants, clear pools with all kinds of strange sea fish, hundreds of rows of them, antique flying horn pavilions, and majestic, beautiful and carefully carved rockeries...
, even though Yang Ji has been to many places and seen many things, he still felt a great shock when he saw the luxury and magnificence inside this kind of aristocratic family.
Within the courtyard wall of Ouyang Family, it is a self-contained whole, just like two worlds from the Zhou Mansion outside.
"I heard that fish in the sea cannot grow in fresh water. I don't know how the Ouyang family did it. They raised these sea fish in the pond."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
I have long known that the aristocratic family has considerable financial resources, which cannot be compared with that of local wealthy families and small families. However, at Yang Ji's level, he no longer pays much attention to money.
In a place like the Jade Ax Inn, Yang Ji didn't think it was anything if he spent thousands of dollars every day. But when he got to the aristocratic families, he realized that these wealthy families didn't think the money was nothing, but completely regarded the money as water.
It is unimaginable to imagine how much money this noble family has spent on this mansion. With mountains of gold and silver, they are underestimating them. A wealthy family may not be able to build even one corner of this kind of manor with all their wealth. As for Yang Ji, it is even more so.
It's impossible.
"It takes thousands of years for the pavilion to grow into golden nanmu. Each piece of wood is only taken from the core of the tree, which consumes countless trees. The atmosphere of the rockery is not from this world at all... This is jade from another dimension, even underground
The stone slabs all seem to be steel black stones with extremely difficult shapes and hardness comparable to gold and iron."
Yang Ji's mental perception is meticulous and extraordinary. It is comparable to that of the Great Wuzong at the eighth level of martial arts, so he can see much more things than others.
Each of the wooden textures of those pavilions is taken from the core of the tree, and no materials from other parts are used. The amount of golden nanmu used in hundreds of pavilions is simply staggering, not to mention those magnificent ones.
The main hall, the building.
And the smell of those rockeries is not from this world. No rockery can exude this kind of smell. It is incompatible with the surrounding space, but it is perfectly integrated into the scenery of the manor, embellishing the manor with the beauty of some alien space.
As for the underground stone slabs, even Yang Ji's mental power felt a slight sluggishness when passing through it. This kind of thing can no longer be bought with money.
Obviously, the Ouyang family did this not just for luxury. They also guarded against attacks from underground, similar to the underground boats.
Under the guidance of the second master and third wife of the Ouyang family, Yang Ji walked all the way through numerous gardens and corridors, heading deeper.
Along the way, the second master of the Ouyang Family made subtle insinuations, testing Yang Ji's attitude, and wanted to invite him to join the Ouyang Family. He also hinted that he would be given special generous treatment.
However, Yang Ji smiled and said nothing and avoided them one by one.
Just kidding, he is going to take part in the martial arts examination and gain fame in his official career. No surprise, gaining fame as a martial arts examiner this time should not be a big problem.
Isn't it a joke that a high-ranking martial arts expert joins an aristocratic family as an alchemist?
It is true that he has a friendship with Ouyang Zishi, but wouldn't it be ridiculous to join the Ouyang family because of this? Moreover, his relationship with Ouyang Zishi will become a superior and subordinate, which is even more inappropriate.
In short, Yang Ji was dealing with this second master in a secretive manner all the way.
Despite the second master's subtle temptation, the scenery in this aristocratic family's mansion is quite good. It's like a scenic garden.
Along the way, he passed many gardens and ponds, but when passing one of them, Yang Ji suddenly stopped.
This is a huge training ground, where the blood energy vibrates and roars. A disciple from the Ouyang family is practicing enthusiastically on it.
The atmosphere of the aristocratic family is completely different from that of the place. The temperament of the family is more vigorous and sharp, and it is definitely not the showy showmanship of the place.
Yang Ji took a quick glance and found that all the disciples from these aristocratic families were attacking the vital parts of the body. Such unique skills from aristocratic families were obviously created for actual combat.
In fact, it is not only practiced for actual combat, but also used for actual combat.
The disciples of these aristocratic families did more than just practice martial arts. Yang Ji discovered that every time they practiced a secret skill, a family guard would fight with them.
The expressions of these guards are quite harsh, stern, and extremely heavy-handed. They show no mercy when facing the disciples of aristocratic families. This is completely different from the mercy of ordinary local wealthy families and families.
Where Yang Ji was looking, there was a bang, and a disciple from an aristocratic family who seemed to have pretty good skills immediately flew out heavily and hit the ground, spitting out blood.
However, this disciple of the aristocratic family did not dare to complain at all. He stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared for the next battle.
"Haha, these are the military guards of our family. They don't have to worry about anything else. They are only responsible for training the disciples of the clan. Anyone who dares to stay in the battle will be cleared out immediately. Those brats, whoever dares to do anything secretly
Anyone who bribes someone below to allow the military guards to keep their hands will definitely be punished severely."
Seeing that Yang Ji was interested in these things, the third lady quickly explained enthusiastically. In the eyes of the powerful third lady of the Ouyang family, in the entire Ouyang family, except for her own son, Yang Ji is the one who looks most favorably now.
Comfortable.
However, the third lady obviously doesn’t know much about these men. Although she knows some things, she doesn’t know much. (To be continued. (lw0.))
