Ouyang Manor is located on the bank of G River, the largest river in G City. Most of the houses here are relics left from the last century. Years ago these large houses were sealed as landmarks of feudalism. Many were destroyed at that time. The Ouyang family"s manor was fortunate.
Only a small part was damaged in such a situation; most of it was preserved.
After the reform, the government did not list ancient houses as cultural relics. Instead, the properties were returned to their original owners. It reflected the importance the country placed to its people and culture.
Walking here gave people the illusion of traveling through time in a s.p.a.ce shuttle… as if they returned to the streets of the Republic of China.
Therefore, it"s the most beautiful scenery in G City. Naturally, it has become a symbol of knowledge and talent in G City. The people who live here were well-known scholars in China, and some even had a good reputation both here and abroad.
G city love culture, although not to the point of fanaticism, but they advocate knowledge. Hence, it is also a city with a rich literary tradition and heritage. Compared with most other big cities full of material desires, it may come across as somewhat pure. This is mainly due to the vigorous promotion of civilization and knowledge from the local government.
Two large stone lions stationed at the entrance added a bit of royalty to this originally mysterious house.
People parked their car on the other side of the river and then walked all the way to the gates.
“Gu Shi, Mrs. Gu, Gu Shaoye, welcome, please.” Ouyang"s housekeeper w.a.n.g Heng stood at the door of the big house to welcome today"s visitors. When he saw the family, he hastened his steps and rushed towards them. Gu Shuji is the newly appointed Secretary of the G City Party Committee, but of course, he can not be neglected.
However, when w.a.n.g Heng saw Gu Yubai, he was stunned. After Miss Meng followed the young master and left the family, this young master had never set foot on the door of Ouyang household. Today, his sudden appearance left w.a.n.g Heng was baffled.
Gu Shi did not miss the panic in w.a.n.g Heng"s eyes. He looked back at his son. In the past, he would never have come. Today, he actually offered to come. He was willing to come to partic.i.p.ate in the birthday celebration of Mrs. Lin.
In fact, even he was surprised. According to him, Gu Yubai wouldn"t come but now that his child had grown up, he would not pursue the matter.
Let him make his own decisions.
