Chapter 4: Exploring the Secrets of a Wealthy Family’s Mansion

Lin Yuwei stood in the courtyard and looked around. This wealthy family's mansion was truly amazing.

In front of her was an exquisite rockery, with a trickle of water flowing down from the rockery, falling into the small pond below, splashing crystal water. There were several colorful koi in the small pond, swimming leisurely in the water. Next to the rockery were several pine trees with strange shapes, which were vigorous and upright, adding a touch of ancient atmosphere to the whole courtyard.

Walking along the bluestone path, you will see a garden. In the garden, flowers of various colors, red, pink, purple, and yellow, are in full bloom, forming a beautiful picture. Butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and bees are busy collecting nectar. There is also a small pavilion in the garden, with exquisite patterns carved on its pillars and glazed tiles on its roof, which sparkles in the sun.

Walking into the house, there is a different world inside. The hall is spacious and bright, with a gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the high ceiling, and the bright light falls on every corner of the hall. The walls are covered with exquisite wallpaper with elegant patterns. There are several carved armchairs and coffee tables in the hall, which look particularly elegant.

At this time, two maids walked by, and one of them said softly: "Look at the decoration of this house, it is really luxurious." The other echoed: "Yes, the master and the mistress are really particular, every place exudes nobility."

After walking through the hall, I came to the study. The study was filled with tall bookshelves, which were densely packed with various books. A huge desk was placed in the center of the study, on which were placed the four treasures of the study and some unfinished calligraphy and painting works. A pot of Clivia was placed next to the window of the study, and the green leaves exuded a faint fragrance.

I went deeper into the house and came to the kitchen. The kitchen was steaming hot, and all kinds of ingredients were neatly arranged. The cooks were busy preparing dishes. The sound of pots and pans colliding and the conversations of the cooks were intertwined, full of the breath of life.

When we arrived at the backyard, there was a quiet bamboo forest, with the breeze blowing and the bamboo leaves rustling. There was also a winding stone path in the bamboo forest, leading to a small Buddhist temple. The temple was filled with incense, solemn and dignified.

Lin Yuwei kept walking around in this wealthy family, and she was more and more impressed by the exquisite and luxurious life of this ancient wealthy family. She seemed to have gradually integrated into this environment, and began to be full of curiosity and desire to explore everything here. Lin Yuwei continued to wander in this mansion, and unknowingly came to a side yard. There was an ancient stone well in the side yard, surrounded by a circle of exquisite carved stone railings. She approached the stone well and looked into the well. The water in the well was deep and calm, as if it could reflect the traces of time.

Just as she was staring in fascination, she heard a conversation between two servants not far away.

"How many years do you think this well has been there?"

"It's been a long time. I heard from the older generation that this well has many stories."

"Oh? What's the story?"

"It is said that a young lady once made a wish beside this well, and it really came true. It's amazing."

Lin Yuwei listened to their words and became more and more curious about the well. She walked around the well a few times, constantly imagining the stories that had happened here. She reached out and gently touched the stone railing of the well, which felt cool and smooth.

At this moment, a breeze blew past, blowing her hair. She looked up and saw a few white clouds floating in the sky, moving slowly. She took a deep breath, feeling the unique tranquility and mystery of this wealthy family. And she knew that under this seemingly peaceful appearance, there must be more unknown secrets waiting for her to discover. She became more determined to continue exploring and to understand everything about this wealthy family...
