Chapter 215 The House of Good Deeds

While everyone was talking, the beautifully decorated carriage in front slowly turned a corner and drove into a narrow alley. This alley was narrower and could only accommodate one carriage.

The three carriages at the back were connected end to end and entered one after another.

In the blink of an eye, they quickly reached the end of the alley.

When the carriage in front stopped, the three carriages behind it also stopped steadily one after another as if they had telepathy.

The escort jumped off the carriage and said respectfully, "Doctor Zhu, we have arrived. This is the Yang family."

Upon hearing this, Father Zhu swiftly jumped off the carriage first, then carefully opened the curtain and reached out to gently help Mother Zhu get out. Soon after, the Zhu sisters and Wu Di followed suit, looking around curiously.

Although the alley looked narrow from the outside, once inside, one discovered a whole new world inside. It turned out to be quite spacious and open deep inside, like a small square. Four carriages could be parked side by side there, without feeling crowded at all.

The most eye-catching thing is the tall and majestic lintel of the Yang family. It is like a crane with its head held high and chest puffed out among the surrounding low and old bungalows. It is particularly conspicuous and prominent, demonstrating the unique status and style of the Yang family.

Zhu Yingying blinked her bright eyes and asked the escort curiously, "I heard that the Yang family also has the merit of following the dragon, but why don't they live in East City?"

The escort smiled slightly and said slowly: "This is a long story! Back then, the late emperor originally intended to confer an official position on the old man of the Yang family, but the old man Yang refused to accept it. He said that he was just an ordinary farmer, and thanks to the late emperor's kindness, he was able to follow the emperor in his campaigns and pacify the world. Now that the world is at peace and the world is stable, he feels that he is incompetent and cannot bear the responsibility of being an official. It would be better for him to return home and continue to farm the land. Seeing his firm attitude, the late emperor agreed to his request, allowing him to return to his hometown to spend his remaining years in peace, and also granted him a mansion in Dongchen.

However, the old man of the Yang family said that he was born in a peasant family and did not know the rules. He was not comfortable living in the East City, so he chose a spacious courtyard in the South City.

The late emperor agreed and personally wrote this plaque for the house."

As he spoke, the escort raised his hand and pointed forward. Everyone looked up and saw a massive black-and-gold plaque hanging above the tall, vermilion gate. In the sunlight, four powerful, bold characters shone brightly: "A Family of Good Deeds."

Father Zhu nodded secretly and said, "Old Master Yang is a wise man who knows how to advance and retreat."

The escort said, "Today, among the Yang family, only the eldest master has secured a leisurely job in the palace, while the other members of the Yang family are mostly engaged in business or farming."

He pointed to the clusters of bungalows around him and continued, "Look, the houses here are occupied by relatives and friends of the Yang family, or ordinary people who rely on the Yang family for their survival.

Although no one from the Yang family currently holds official positions at the imperial court, their caravans have expanded their business to every corner of the Great Zhou Empire. Whether it's wealthy merchants or ordinary citizens, they all feel immensely honored to be associated with and rely on the Yang family. Even our escort agency is happy to cooperate with them.

Because of this, in this southern city, in terms of power and prestige, the Yang family is undoubtedly the most powerful family.
