Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 278: Chapter 269: You’re not young anymore, you should enjoy your peaceful life at home.

The Lan family estate was truly vast, with pavilions, towers, gardens, ponds, and the like in no short supply, but its layout was quite different from that of ordinary residences.

Normally, a residence would be divided into a front and a back courtyard. The front courtyard was where the men lived, containing the halls for receiving guests, study rooms, guest rooms, and the family school, among other things.

The back courtyard was where the family members lived. Larger estates would be divided into a residential compound and a separate compound, while smaller houses would be divided into the main house, and east and west wing rooms, and so on.

The Lan family estate was also divided into a front and a back courtyard, only its front and back courtyards were much larger.

The front courtyard alone had over a hundred various rooms, divided into six smaller courtyards, and there was also a very large practice field for martial arts.

The back courtyard was even more extravagant, with a very large garden at the center. The garden had connected corridors, pavilions, artificial hills with flowing water, and countless precious plants and trees. Even though it was winter now, the scenery was still exceedingly beautiful.

In fact, this was no longer just a garden; it was more akin to a park in a previous lifetime, covering a good six to seven acres of land.

And around the garden, there were eight courtyards, each one no smaller than the Yang family’s residence in An Yuan City.

Yang Zhenshan took a stroll around the entire Lan family estate, spending about two hours, which shows just how vast the Lan family’s residence was.

Originally, Yang Zhenshan had no intention of taking over the Lan family’s estate, but after visiting the Guardian Department government office, he had to take possession of the Lan estate.

After the stroll, Yang Zhenshan briefly sketched a layout of the Lan family estate and called over Yang Mingcheng, Xie Yuan, Song Dashan, and others.

“Ming Cheng, take our family to this courtyard later, this courtyard will be ours from now on. Over the next couple of days, see if there’s anything unsuitable and arrange for someone to modify it!”

Yang Zhenshan pointed to the largest courtyard, which originally belonged to Lan Buqi, but now it was under the Yang family’s possession.

Of course, Yang Zhenshan wouldn’t claim this courtyard for his private use but would attribute it to the assets of the Guardian Department.

“Dad, I understand. I’ll make arrangements right away!” said Yang Mingcheng.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, “Go and make the arrangements. We won’t be staying in tents outside the city tonight!”

After Yang Zhenshan left, Yang Zhenshan then pointed to the neighboring courtyard and said to Song Dashan, “This courtyard is for you, let your family go over there and tidy it up!”
