Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

While Gao Meiyu and Qin Huairu were talking, Li Tianyou also boarded the boat to Hong Kong.

The ship was a merchant ship, not an official ship for smuggling or inland transportation.

Li Tianyou was lying in his bedroom on the boat.

As the boat swayed, Li Tianyou sighed. Compared with myself in another time and space, I now know the value of life.

Being praised, being noticed, shining, and honored, this is the life that people should live.

Li Tianyou also bought a set of clothes that were more suitable for Xiangjiang from the system.

He wore a beige windbreaker with a white shirt underneath, a pair of neat trousers, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine.

Li Tianyou was lying on the bed thinking, 2000 kilometers away, it would probably take until tomorrow to reach Hong Kong.

Li Tianyou was used to having Gao Meiyu by his side, and now he was suddenly not used to being alone.

Li Tianyou fell asleep in a daze.

The next day at noon, Li Tianyou also took a boat to the dock.

Li Tianyou got up, got off the boat, walked out of the dock, went to the roadside, hailed a taxi and went to the Governor's Mansion.

Li Tianyou looked at Hong Kong in the 60s along the way. Compared with later generations, it was still much simpler, but compared with the inland, don't be ridiculous, there is no comparison at all, okay?

In 59, Hong Kong was already full of skyscrapers, and its prosperity was much greater than that of the inland areas.

Despite such a gap, the Oriental Pearl Tower, the prosperity of Shenzhen and the majesty of Kyoto in later generations cannot be compared with a tiny place like Hong Kong.

The reason why Hong Kong is prosperous today is because it is a small place and has experienced fewer wars.

Our country has been living a peaceful life for eight years, fighting rats for three years, and is now in the process of post-war reconstruction.

Li Tianyou was stopped before he arrived at the Governor's Mansion. The guard who stopped Li Tianyou also said in fluent English: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" (English will not be prompted in the future)

As a senior otaku, Li Tianyou can understand English but cannot speak it.

But Li Tianyou was not panicked, and shouted in his heart, "System, how much does it cost to learn English proficiency."

[Ding~Five large yellow croakers. ]

Li Tianyou said in his heart, "Study."

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for gaining proficiency in English. 】

Li Tianyou looked at the guard who stopped him and said, "Please tell the guard that Li Tianyou wants to see the governor."

The guard frowned and looked at Li Tianyou carefully. He was well-dressed, had an extraordinary temperament and was handsome. He also asked carefully: "May I ask what you want to see the governor about? Who are you and what is your relationship with the governor?"

Looking at the guard who was looking at him carefully, Li Tianyou smiled in his heart. Fortunately, he changed his clothes, otherwise, wearing that tacky clothes, the guard would probably have chased him away.

Sometimes, people are just like this, they serve food to others.

If you wear tattered clothes, no matter how noble your status is or how rich you are, others will definitely have a bad first impression of you.

Not everyone knows your identity and wealth.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Please tell them that my name is Li Tianyou and I am a relative of Governor David. You just need to say that."

The guard frowned after hearing what Li Tianyou said. He didn't know whether what Li Tianyou said was true or not. But what if it was true? But what if it was false?

Li Tianyou saw the guard's entanglement and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not running away, just say it like this, if there is a problem, I'm still here, right?"

When the guard heard this, he thought it was true and asked another guard to pass the message.

Soon the guard came back and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. The Governor's wife has sent a car to pick you up. Please forgive my impoliteness just now."

Li Tianyou waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you are also doing this for safety."

The guard smiled upon hearing this.

Soon an old Mercedes drove over.

When the Mercedes-Benz came closer, the guards saluted hurriedly.

After the car stopped, an old woman about 60 years old got out. She was white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Although her face was full of wrinkles, she was full of energy and walked with great vigor.

The old woman found the guard, listened to the guard's explanation, looked at Li Tianyou and walked over quickly, grabbed Li Tianyou's hands with both hands and asked: "Are you Li Tianyou?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said: "Hello, I am Li Tianyou."

The old woman was surprised to hear this and said, "Child, let's get in the car and go home first. Grandma wants to have a good chat with you."

Li Tianyou followed the old woman into the car and drove all the way to the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion is built in a neoclassical style. It is quite large and complex. There is a large auditorium in the basement where many people can gather. There are several large and small living rooms, dance halls and sitting rooms for women on both sides. There is also a waiting room near the gate. A large restaurant that can accommodate banquets is located in the dungeon. As for the upper floor, in addition to the room where the Governor and his wife live, there is also a small living room for gatherings and meetings, and three VIP suites with luxurious furnishings and elegant decorations. Many British royal dignitaries and foreign dignitaries have stayed here when they visited Hong Kong or passed by here and were entertained by the Governor.

The Governor's Mansion is so large that it has a large number of staff, including: one adjutant and one personal assistant, one confidential secretary and one protocol secretary, and five shorthand and typing clerks. The Governor's Mansion also has one general manager, one housekeeper, four telephone operators, five car drivers, five cooks, four gardeners, six messengers, one mechanic, and one waiter. There are more than 20 male and female workers, and this type of staff alone is close to 60 people, all of whom are paid by the Governor's Mansion's daily expenses.

After Li Tianyou followed the old woman to the Governor's Mansion, he was also served by many people.

After the servant put the tea down, the old woman raised her hand to signal the servant to leave.

However, the bodyguard beside him still stood there sternly.

The old woman no longer had the excitement she had just now. Instead, she looked at Li Tianyou coldly and said in a cold tone: "Who are you?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Grandma, I am really Li Tianyou. My father's name is Li Jinli (a real fan of Jinli's book), my grandfather's name is Li Mingfan, and I don't know my great-grandfather."

After hearing what Li Tianyou said, the old woman frowned deeply and started to murmur in her heart.

"My name is Rose Fleck," the old woman said.

Li Tianyou said nothing after hearing this.

Rose said, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Grandma, I don't know how to prove my relationship with you, but I have a jade pendant that can prove that I am telling the truth." As he said that, Li Tianyou took out the jade pendant from his neck.

Rose's eyes lit up when she saw the jade pendant Li Tianyou took out. This jade pendant was an exact match to the one her husband was wearing.

Rose already believed it 80% of the time, but still asked: "How do you know our relationship? Logically, it is impossible for you to know our relationship with you."

Li Tianyou sighed in his heart, how could I not know about the relationship arranged by the system? But I can't say that.

Li Tianyou said: "Grandma, my mother's brother, that is, my uncle, is the top leader of the inland magic city. Because he got separated from my mother, when he was looking for me, he happened to know the secret of the past and told me. At first I didn't want to believe it, but now I have something to ask of you, grandma, and I came here with the mentality of trying my luck."

Rose frowned when she heard this and asked, "Could it be that David leaked the news when he was looking for you some time ago?"

Li Tianyou was too lazy to explain. It was difficult to tell lies. He was a otaku from later generations, not Aquaman who could tell lies easily.

However, Li Tianyou was not worried, because the system said that with this kind of character summoning card, the summoned relatives would have a 100-point favorability towards him. I believe Grandpa David will be able to recognize me the first time he sees me.

This is also the reason why Li Tianyou dared to come directly to the Governor's Office.

Li Tianyou said: "Grandma, can my grandfather David come to see me? From what you said, you should have asked about me and know some information about me. If we meet, won't everything be clear?"

After hearing what Li Tianyou said, Rose also nodded.

She raised her hand and called a bodyguard over. The bodyguard stood in front of Rose. Rose gave him a few instructions and the bodyguard quickly left.

Rose looked at Li Tianyou. Now Rose's face was no longer cold, but with a faint smile.

Rose said to Li Tianyou: "Have a cup of coffee first. I have asked someone to call David over."

After listening to Rose's words, Li Tianyou nodded calmly, picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was slightly bitter at first, then sweet, and finally sweet, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth. This could be said to be the best coffee Li Tianyou had ever tasted.

Rose smiled and said, "How is it?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said: "It tastes good. This is the first time I have had such delicious coffee. Thank you."

Rose was very satisfied when she saw Li Tianyou, who was polite and well-spoken.

The two chatted about nothing for about five minutes, and then a white man in his 60s walked in.

The first time Li Tianyou saw the old man, he felt that he was full of energy and tall, at least 1 meters tall, much taller than Li Tianyou. His face was majestic without anger, and he exuded the temperament of a superior.

The old man also looked at Li Tianyou, feeling an inexplicable sense of intimacy and fondness in his heart.

It seemed that the first time I saw Li Tianyou, my mood became happy. It seemed that I was born because of this young man, and I wanted to give him all the help I could.

But when he saw the jade pendant in Rose's hand, he also took out his own jade pendant, quickly walked to Rose, grabbed the jade pendant in Rose's hand, and merged the two jade pendants together.

When the two jade pendants were put together, the expression on the old man's face was complicated. There was joy, pain, regret, hope, excitement and all kinds of inexplicable emotions could be seen on the old man's face.

Finally, the old man looked at Li Tianyou and said excitedly in Mandarin: "Are you Tianyou? My grandson."

When Li Tianyou heard this, he felt like he was scolding me, but I had no evidence.

(The third update is here. Please urge Zidong to update. The recent performance is not very good. This book will soon usher in a domineering scene of the male protagonist.)
