Chapter 337 Beiming Old House
"Sorry, we don't accept visits from outsiders, please go back."
The butler said indifferently, without any room for negotiation in his tone.
After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave with a resolute step, as if Ming Nanjin's arrival was just an insignificant episode.
"Wait a minute, look at this."
Ming Nanjin's tone also turned cold, with a hint of urgency and unquestionableness in his words.
He took out the jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the butler in front of him. The jade pendant shone with a warm light under the sunlight.
The butler looked at the pendant in Ming Nanjin's hand and was completely stunned.
His eyes widened instantly, and the expression on his face changed from initial indifference and disdain to shock and disbelief.
"You...you are...the eldest lady's son?"
The butler stuttered a little when he spoke, and his voice was full of trembling and surprise, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.
Ming Nanjin nodded coldly, and the arrogant attitude on the housekeeper's face just now was now completely gone.
The expression that was originally full of disdain and arrogance seemed to be blown away in an instant by a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
Instead there was a complex expression of flattery and awe.
"Master Jin, please."
The butler became extremely respectful to Ming Nanjin. He bent slightly, stretched out a hand in an invitation gesture, and had a flattering smile on his face.
Ming Nanjin just glanced at the butler, turned and left the door with firm and steady steps.
His figure appeared particularly tall and straight in the sunlight, yet with a hint of loneliness and determination.
He walked towards Xiao Chengcheng and Jiang Shiyu and the others who were still waiting for him there.
Xiao Chengcheng tightly pulled Jiang Shiwen's clothes, her little hands were so tense that her knuckles turned white.
Her eyes were full of anxiety and anticipation. When she saw Ming Nanjin coming over, she quickly let go and ran towards Ming Nanjin.
Her steps were a little staggering, but it did not affect her eagerness to run towards Ming Nanjin at all.
Ming Nanjin squatted down and held Xiao Chengcheng in her arms, gently stroking her hair, trying to calm her nervous heart.
Xiao Chengcheng hugged Ming Nanjin's neck tightly, as if that was her only support in this strange environment.
Jiang Shiwen looked at Ming Nanjin and asked, "Jin, how is it? Did they let me in?"
There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on Ming Nanjin.
Ming Nanjin nodded slightly, without much change in her expression, but a hint of barely perceptible ease flashed in her eyes.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Shiyu patted his chest and said, "That's great. Finally, this trip was not in vain."
Yan Zeyu also showed a relieved smile, and his tense body relaxed.
Everyone's mood seemed to be relieved for a moment at this moment, but they all knew that the real challenge might still be ahead.
Ming Nanjin led everyone back to the manor.
The butler had been waiting for everyone at the door, still with a respectful smile on his face.
"Master Jin, please."
The butler opened the door and made way.
When everyone stepped into the manor, they were instantly shocked by the scene before them. The decoration of this manor was completely different from the outside world, as if it was a mysterious world independent of the world.
The first thing that catches your eye is a wide bluestone avenue with tall sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
Under the paulownia trees, there are exquisite stone sculptures, some of which are lifelike mythical beasts, and some of which are fairies with elegant postures. Each one seems to be telling an ancient story.
Walking along the bluestone avenue, a magnificent fountain appears before your eyes.
In the center of the fountain is a huge sculpture. The image of the sculpture is the ancestor of the Beiming family. He holds a long sword and looks firmly into the distance, as if guarding the family's territory.
The water of the fountain is crystal clear, the splashes are reflected in colorful light under the sunlight.
Around the fountain is a wide garden filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, colorful flowers competing for splendor and emitting bursts of charming fragrance.
There are also some small and exquisite pavilions among the flowers. The tops of the pavilions are carved with exquisite patterns and there are comfortable chairs in the pavilions for people to rest and enjoy the scenery.
Continuing forward, everyone saw the main building of the manor. It was an ancient and solemn castle, the walls of which were built of huge stones, which were engraved with mysterious runes and patterns.
The castle's gate was tall and heavy, inlaid with golden rivets that shone with dazzling light.
Entering the castle, the hall has a high ceiling with exquisite murals depicting the glorious history and great achievements of the Bei Ming family.
The floor of the hall is covered with gorgeous carpets, which are as soft as walking on clouds. Precious antiques and artworks are placed around, each of which is priceless.
Going up the stairs, there are spacious bedrooms on the second floor.
The bedrooms are decorated in different styles, some are full of classical charm, while others are full of modern fashion. Each bedroom is equipped with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery outside.
Further up, there is a huge library. The library is filled with rows of tall bookshelves, which are filled with all kinds of books, from ancient classics to the latest scientific works.
In the center of the library is a huge desk, on which are placed pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as if waiting for someone to come and write at any time.
After passing through the library, we came to an observation deck.
From the observation deck, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire manor. The rolling mountains in the distance contrast with the blue sky and white clouds. The lake in the manor is sparkling, like a huge mirror.
Everyone walked around the manor, as if they were in a dreamlike world. Ming Nanjin was filled with emotion. He did not expect the Beiming family's manor to be so luxurious and unique. Xiao Chengcheng looked around curiously, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Jiang Shiwen and others were also impressed by the spectacular sight and gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the Beiming Family.
However, Ming Nanjin knew that behind this beautiful decoration, there might be countless secrets and conspiracies hidden.
eHe must remain vigilant and uncover the truth behind it all.
