The three of them worked all day in the clinic, and finally tidied up. Except for the two large treatment tables and rest sofas that have not been replaced, everything else is basically ready.
"This refrigerator should be replaced with a new one. It is an old model from ten years ago." The industrious son took the small refrigerator and went around, noting down all the inappropriate places.
Xia Yuzhou was stacked with his younger brother like a rag, one horizontal and one vertical, and spread out on the children's anti-fall foam mat. Hearing his son say this, he raised his head with difficulty: "Our family is out of money, let's change it later."
Zhou Shu put his face on the ground and said in a muffled voice, "I'll lend you first."
Xia Yuzhou yawned: "It's fine if you want sponsorship, but you can just borrow it. It's unlucky to be in debt right after opening."
Zhou Shu snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The son was busy, walked over and stared at the posture of the two elders for a while. I probably calculated the best angle to stack the arhat, took off my shoes, stepped on it, cut in from a 45-degree angle, stretched my arms, and pounced.
Xia Yuzhou felt fine, but the younger brother at the bottom made a "cheep" sound and kicked his legs to express his protest.
When Zhan Da Knight came to find him, he saw three guys stacked together to form a hexagram, and asked uncertainly, "Is this the formation of your Eastern species?"
"..."
The big knight came in a small car and took the three of them to Yuanyue Lake.
Xia Yuzhou stuffed his younger brother, who was not very friendly to the Grand Knight, into the back, and he sat in the co-pilot, chatting with the Grand Knight all the way: "What do you call you? Grand Knight?"
"My surname is Zhan, and my full name is Zhanlong." The big knight drove without looking sideways.
"Oh," Xia Yuzhou was a little disappointed, the name was so localized, he thought he would be called Zhan Musi like Ron, "Does the big knight mean the lord's guard?"
Zhanlong: "It can be understood in this way."
Xia Yuzhou: "Then I should call you... Zhanwei?"
Chen Mo grabbed the back of the seat and poked his head over: "Are you guys playing Kaifeng mansion cospy? Is the lord called Lord Bao?"
Guard Zhan replied solemnly: "A great knight is not a position, but a title. Only the lord can award a great knight."
The great knight didn't talk much, but when he talked about the lord, he immediately started talking. The Zhan family has served the Si family for generations. He is the most outstanding child of their generation, so he was sent to the young new lord and directly named a great knight. He is also the only great knight in Yanjing Territory.
The Zhan family and the Luo family are the longest vassals of the Hanshan clan.
"The vassals," Zhou Shu, who was sitting in the back row, sneered, "You really have a strict hierarchy, and those who don't know think it's a slave society now."
Xia Yuzhou raised his hand and gestured for his younger brother to shut up: "What about the butler? He is also the most outstanding old man of the Luo family's generation?"
Speaking of the butler, Zhanlong sat up straight involuntarily: "The butler is the head of the generation of the Luo family, and was originally the butler of the old house. Because when the Yanjing territory was just taken over, the lord was still in school and couldn't be too busy. The big butler I came to help myself."
This help has lasted for five years, and I have not returned until now.
Therefore, this housekeeper's status is very high, and he should not only manage the one-acre land in the big house.
Can't see it at all. After deciding to join the Hanshan Clan last night, the housekeeper smiled and wanted to add him on WeChat, saying that it was easy to contact, and asked him what snacks he usually likes to eat. Xia Yuzhou clicked on WeChat and looked at the head butler's profile picture, a pot of black tea and a piece of chocolate cake. All the food recipes were shared in Moments.
"Squeak—" Suddenly, Xia Yuzhou slammed on the brakes, and was pulled back by An Shengsheng, strangling him so much that he coughed.
"Ahem, what's the matter?" Xia Yuzhou picked up the phone that fell on the ground and looked up.
The car has already traveled to the outskirts. This road is deserted, with artificially planted woods on both sides. The road is narrow, barely enough for two cars to run side by side. On the right side of the middle of the road, there is a big black dog squatting.
The dog didn't look well, with matted hair and saliva dripping from its half-open mouth. The eyes were illuminated by the headlights, emitting a piercing red light. Just standing motionless in front of the car, staring at the people in the car.
"Don't open the window." The big knight said this, his voice was obviously very tense. Back up slowly, ready to go around the big dog.
Xia Yuzhou leaned his elbows on the car window, put his fists on his lips, and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the dog.
The car reversed a body behind and turned to the left to change to the side lane. The dog got up, moved to the left in an instant, stood in front of the car squarely, and sat down again.
"A good dog doesn't do the right thing!" Zhou Shu looked annoyed, "Just drive over, and it will dodge by itself."
"No." Zhanlong immediately vetoed the proposal and backed up again.
Xia Yuzhou moved his finger to the tip of the bloody tooth, touched it lightly, and blood beads came out immediately. He took out a tissue and wiped the blood on it. When Zhan's guards looked over, he had already covered his nose with a tissue, blew his nose loudly, and opened the car window very naturally and threw it forcefully.
"Don't open the window!" Zhan Long immediately stepped on the brakes and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Yuzhou to this side.
The ball of paper went with the wind, and it just so happened that it hit the dog's head. Guard Zhan's face turned pale, and he pressed the driver's control button hard, and quickly raised the window.
The smashed dog immediately bared its ferocious teeth, grabbed the piece of paper in one bite, and made a terrifying threatening sound. Then, he suddenly spit out the ball of paper, turned around and ran away.
Zhanlong immediately turned around and quickly left the place, gasping for breath: "How dare you throw something out of the window!"
"Oh, there is no way, we country people are used to it." Xia Yuzhou apologized without sincerity, asking the big knight to forgive him for his lack of quality.
Chen Mo lay on the rear window, looking at the running dog. The paper towel left in place was stained with the dog's saliva, blending with the bright red. The snow-white paper towel gradually turned black as if it had been picked up by flames.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Mo stretched out his finger on the tip of the tiger's tooth thoughtfully, and took a bite: "Oh!"
Seeing his elder nephew biting his finger, Zhou Shu leaned over in surprise: "Hungry?"
The child cried and said, "It hurts."
"Nonsense, can it not hurt if you get bitten?"
"Toothache," Chen Mo licked that tooth, "it seems to be moving."
Zhou Shu looked at his mouth and poked it with his hand: "Good thing, this tooth is about to fall out."
Chen Mo looked at Uncle A in shock: "What's the good thing about falling?"
Zhou Shu patted his nephew's dog's head: "If this tooth falls out, bleeding teeth will grow. If two blood teeth grow together, you are a real blood!"
I see! The child was immediately happy, and began to shake it with his hands from time to time, hoping that the teeth would fall out quickly.
On the next journey, there were no accidents, and the car stopped outside the mansion smoothly.
The neatly dressed butler greeted them at the door: "Welcome home. The young master hasn't come back yet, let's have dinner first."
Xia Yuzhou pulled his younger brother and son back to salute: "Isn't it training?"
The butler smiled and invited them in, and went straight to the restaurant: "It's not training, just showing you around."
The master was away, so the butler sat with them for dinner. In theory, these new vassals who joined the clan did not have a higher status than the steward. But Ron politely invited Xia Yuzhou to take a seat, and served him an appetizer himself.
The guard Zhan seemed a little surprised: "Grandpa Ron?"
The butler just smiled, without any intention of explaining, just talking to Xia Yuzhou in a gentle voice: "I heard that you have been studying abroad in the past few years, which country are you in?"
"Iceland." Xia Yuzhou cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. It was tender and juicy, and it was delicious.
There was no steak in front of the butler, only a bowl of thick soup and a few slices of bread. After taking two small bites, he picked up the crystal cup and slowly took a sip of blood plasma: "Why did you go to such a cold place?"
Xia Yuzhou ate another piece of steak: "Stop sunbathing."
Iceland is close to the North Pole, so it is cool all year round, there is no scorching sun and the sky is extremely hot. In winter, there will even be polar nights, and the sun will not be seen for a long time, which is very friendly to the vampires who are afraid of the sun.
Zhan Da Knight frowned: "But, in a place with such a long winter, it will hibernate for a long time."
"Hibernate..." Xia Yuzhou suddenly understood something when he heard this word, and looked at his younger brother, "We don't hibernate."
The housekeeper was also a little surprised: "So that's the case, that saved a lot of time."
Western species have a hibernation period, and they don't sleep for several months like the temperature-changing animals, but they are sleepy for at least 20 hours a day.
"Too low." Zhou Shu muttered in a low voice, winking at his eldest nephew.
"Indeed." Chen Mo answered.
"Cough," Xia Yuzhou kicked his younger brother under the table, put down the knife and fork, "I'm done."
After dinner, Si Jun still didn't come back. The butler picked up a candlestick and led them to the third floor.
The long back-shaped corridor is covered with soft silver carpet. The simple curved dome depicts complicated and delicate lines. It looks like a castle's antique gallery, with no windows, paintings on one side and lamps on the other.
Beautiful crystals, etc., illuminate the place brightly. The candle in the butler's hand could not be used for lighting, but it was still held steadily with a sense of ritual, and invited them to watch the paintings on the corridor.
Every few steps is an oil painting with characters on it and text descriptions next to it.
"This is the portrait of the Hanshan clan's past dynasties, and their life stories. The original version is at home, and these are reprinted versions." The housekeeper solemnly introduced them, and detailed the great achievements of each generation of patriarchs.
Everyone has a title in addition to their name. According to Western tradition, there will be a title according to the famous deeds of this person, such as dragon slayer, king killer and so on. Xia Yuzhou listened in the rain, and didn't remember anything. All the oil paintings looked similar, but the last one was very different.
Because the last one is not an oil painting, but an ink painting. It depicts a man wearing a western-style narrow-sleeved riding suit, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and a pair of blue eyeballs. He looks like a foreigner. It's just that he is holding a volume of very Chinese-style books in his hand, and beside the bamboo forest, he looks half-done, which is very weird.
"This is the ancestor, Sinan."
His original name was Stuart, he was a European nobleman, and he was also a bard. About three hundred years ago, he took a lyre and wandered to the East with a group of Arab merchants.
Like all fairy tales, he was appreciated by the king and married the princess. The king gave him fiefs and bestowed them on the marquis.
Because he is a poet, he was granted the title of Dangtu, the place where the poet is fishing for the moon. The fief includes Hanshan Mountain near Dangtu. Dangtu was called "Danyang" at that time. As a vampire, he doesn't like the word "sun", so he uses Hanshan as the title.
Call it, Hanshan Hou.
"Dangtu, where is Hanshan...?" Zhou Shu didn't quite know the location of these two cities.
The son with an excellent memory quickly answered: "In Ma'anshan."
Xia Yuzhou rubbed his chin: "Choose one of the two places, you shouldn't choose this way. Besides, your titles are all Western-style, and you should be like the Count of Monte Cristo. You shouldn't be called Marquis of Hanshan, you should be called..."
Chen Mo: "The Marquis of Ma'anshan."
When Si Jun, who was going up the stairs, heard this, he stepped on the ground.
