There are many old houses left in S City, most of which were built in the 1920s. These old houses, which are lofty, exquisite or plain, almost all have their own stories. They are intricately intertwined with the development, humiliation and prosperity of s city. They participate in the painting of s city today. In fact, the old houses are a kind of symbol, which can symbolize a lot of things, Thought, spirit, life, attitude, most importantly, it also represents the history and glory of a family.

Xi's villa is the classic representative of these old houses, located in the poetic Fenyang road of s city.

Fenyang road has many trees and elegant environment. When passers-by inadvertently step on the fallen leaves here, behind the rich Wutong tree, this French garden house looms. It consists of a main building and two auxiliary buildings. The auxiliary buildings are located on both sides of the main building. They are the residences and studios of attendants and security personnel. The main building faces south, and is composed of East and West buildings It is composed of three units, West and middle. The area is quite large. It is ancient and modern. It is very retro in 1920s and 1930s.

To the south of the main building is a large garden with an area of more than 30 temples. Dozens of steps along the garden, there is a pool of water. Next to the pool, there are two rockeries, one front and one back, one big and one small. On a sudden rockery stone, there are two big characters "Xi Di" inscribed by Xi Shiyi himself when he was young. After decades of baptism, the red characters are still clear, It shows the long-standing of the family.

When he drove here, the two huge scarlet letters came into his eyes through the carved iron gate.

She had been here when she returned home, but she didn't go in. She just took a look at it from a distance. No matter how reluctant she was, it was an indisputable fact that the blood of the Xi family was flowing on her body. She would only come back to have a look on behalf of her mother Xi Shutong. After all, this was the place where her mother had lived since she was a child. But after that, she found that she didn't fit in with it and left soon, I never thought I would come here again.

The Xi family has been an official for generations, and they are also high-ranking officials. Different from ordinary families, there is a guard room in front of the iron gate, which is about four square meters in size and surrounded by glass. At first glance, the watchmen inside are veterans. They stand straight and do not squint. If it is not for the fluctuation of their chest due to breathing, people will think it is a wax statue.

He drove to the gate and honked his horn.

The guard immediately looked over and wondered who was in the car?

He rolled down the window and poked out his head. "I want to see Xi Shiyi!"

The guard was obviously surprised. After he retired from the army, he came here to work as a guard. In seven or eight years, it was the first time that anyone who dared to call the former foreign minister's name so taboo met such a young girl today.

Who is this girl?

"Didn't you hear me? I'm looking for Xi Shiyi! " She will not call Xi Shiyi grandfather because he is not qualified at all.

The guard came out of the guard room and came to the car, "girl, this is Xi's residence. Please don't come in unless you want to!"

If there is a visitor in the Xi family, the Housekeeper will give him a list of visitors in the morning.

He got out of the car and said, "then please give me a notice!"

"May I have your name, miss?" The guard has been working for so many years, and he has already understood the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance. Before the matter is clear, he can't rush people to avoid offending the distinguished guests.

"Duanmu Hu!"

"OK, just a moment!"

The guard ran back to the guard room and dialed the phone of the inner house, but no one answered the phone. He frowned, hung up and dialed again, but no one answered.
