About seventy or eighty kilometers southwest of the suburbs of Felton, there is a huge building complex next to a small lake, red bricks, porcelain tiles, corner eaves, and layered antique buildings, just like ancient palaces. On the outside of these palaces, there is actually a huge city wall dozens of meters high and more than ten meters thick, surrounding these palaces. If it weren't for the scattered one or two floating chariots flying back and forth on the city wall, and the near-Earth fighter jets that swept over the palace communities, anyone would have thought they had traveled to ancient times.

This is the palace built by Bethlem, the new owner of the St. Proli Star District, on the outskirts of the city. Bethlem gave it a very retro name called Zhangtai. The source of the name is said to be based on a summer palace built by the king of an extremely powerful country in ancient Earth.

Zhangtai was built in a low-lying river valley. The "small lake" was actually not a lake in the true sense, but a small river flowing through this river valley, a small river pool gathered in the low-lying area next to Zhangtai Palace. Bertram ordered people to expand the river beach into an artificial lake, and built this almost completely retro palace community next to the lake.

In addition to facing the lake, the other three sides of Zhangtai are wide and flat grassland terrain. Obviously, these "grasslands" are also artificially formed. The grasslands on three sides extend in a bowl shape, followed by dense jungles and a wide motorcycle lane. Like a razor in the hand of a barber, they plowed through the jungles and led directly to another high-speed motorcycle lane outside the valley. There are mountains, water, complex jungle terrain and natural cover of the river valley. Zhangtai Palace is unique, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are 9981 palace pavilions of different sizes within the tall city walls of Zhangtai Palace. The center is centered on two huge circular buildings in the middle, one black and one white. The remaining palace pavilions are densely packed with a maze-like building formation, making those in it dazzled and unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north. If anyone who knows how to watch the Zhangtai Palace from a high altitude, he would definitely be surprised, because the entire building community of Zhangtai Palace was actually arranged with a long-lost name called the Bagua formation.

If you study it carefully, you will find that there are still some places in this Zhangtai Palace that are in line with Feng Shui theory. The river valley where it is located is high in the north and low in the south. No matter at any time, as long as there is a sun in the sky, it can shine on Zhangtai Palace. In addition, it faces water in the south and backs the mountain in the north. This is a saying in Feng Shui, called carrying yin and embracing yang. It is an excellent Feng Shui treasure land that can invisibly gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

In short, no matter from which aspect, being able to create such a palace at least shows that Bethlem himself has accomplished all the ancient theories that imply the laws of nature. In modern human society with highly developed technology, almost no one can be as proficient in various ancient theories as Bethlem. It can be said that he is a very idealistic theory, not to mention that he is also a high-ranking ruler.

This palace was newly built after Bethlem slowly grasped the actual control of the entire Saint-Proli Star Zone. It took nearly ten years to build it. The construction speed was extremely slow and quite meticulous. After it was completed, Bethlem moved his direct, side-line relatives, and some of his tribesmen to live in the palace.

After he truly became the veritable owner of the St. Proli Star District, Bethlem moved into the new Prime Minister's Mansion in the center of Felton. Most of his tribesmen moved into the city with convenient transportation and living, but the palace was not abandoned and many tribesmen still lived in it, including Bethlem's mother, first wife and young daughter, who also stayed in this palace. Bethlem developed a habit of returning to this place when he was on weekends and holidays, he would return here to reunite with his relatives and share a family happiness.

The black round palace in the center of Zhangtai Palace is hung with a huge plaque with the words "Pepper House" written on it. This is where the women of Bethlem live.

"I don't do it, why do you have to marry me to Jeff? I'm not familiar with him." At noon that day, a young woman's roar suddenly came from the Pepper House Hall. The roar of "sounds vibrate the world" seemed to have a faint resentment: "So many cousins ​​and cousins, why don't they let them marry? If I say I won't marry, don't force me to run away from home."

This "bold words" attracted the servants who were wandering inside and outside the Jiaofang Hall to look at each other, but they were obviously used to such a situation, and just smiled and went to work hard.

"Lin'er, can you stop doing this all the time?" In a huge and antique bedroom in the Pepper Room Hall, a middle-aged woman with a haggard face frowned and frowned at a round table not far from the bed and scolded her: "I see you are almost twenty years old, and it's time to find a good family to marry. How could your dad and I harm you? Although this young man Jeff has a little bad temper, he is still a promising young man. If you want to marry him, it's also considered..." As he was speaking, the middle-aged woman coughed suddenly.

"Mom..." The young woman had an angry look on her face, but when she saw the middle-aged woman's sickness, she probably couldn't bear it. She twisted her body and acted like a little girl acting coquettishly, and said in a long tone.

"Lin'er, you have also seen this sick old bone of mom. I don't know how long it will last. Just think it's good. Before leaving, you can see you happily marrying and giving birth to a fat little grandson for mom." The middle-aged woman recovered and sighed softly, begging her, "Is it okay if mom asks you?"

"Okay, okay, let me think about it first, okay?" Seeing that all the words were about this, the young woman gave in helplessly: "Give me some time to think about it, Mom, let's talk about it, I'm just nineteen years old this year, and I don't want to get married so early, so just let me play for two years? Also, don't you be allowed to talk nonsense anymore, how long can I last? Be careful that I will complain to my dad, and the doctor said that you are just an old cold disease, just take good care of yourself."

"Oh, okay." The middle-aged woman probably knew that she could no longer force the young woman. She sighed again and said, "But then again, it should take some time to change your young lady's temper. Don't run away from home at any time. Do you know that last time you made me and your father worry, we..."

"Mom, you're here again..." The middle-aged woman was interrupted by the young woman before she finished speaking. She got up and sat down on the middle-aged woman's bed, holding the middle-aged woman's somewhat thin hand, and said coquettishly: "I'm not forced by you yet. Before my 19th birthday came, I was forced to get married. How could there be parents like you? I can only celebrate my birthday alone outside, and you have to compensate me."

"Okay, I'll compensate you, I'll compensate you." The middle-aged woman smiled comfortably, gently held the young woman's tender hand in her hand, and asked kindly: "Come on, tell me, how did you celebrate your birthday alone outside, how, whether you are doing well, have you met any bad people and not bullied?" As she said that, the mother and daughter started chatting one by one.

The mother and daughter are nothing else, Monica, the wife of Bethleme, and his daughter Erin. Monica is the daughter of Admiral Lucas, the former deputy commander of the local security forces in the St. Proli Star Zone. Because of her special identity, her marriage with Bethleme is somewhat political in the eyes of outsiders. However, in fact, the acquaintance and love between Monica and Bethleme was not deliberately arranged by outsiders. The final union of the two can also be said to be a fate destined by God.

When she was young, Monica's temper was quite hot. Although she had a beautiful face, her temperament was incompatible with her appearance. She often spoke in an unconvenient manner. At the least, she cursed her, and at the worst, she rolled up her sleeves to stage a good fight with a shrew. Therefore, the young and beautiful Monica made many young men and men who wanted to fall under her pomegranate skirt "escape". In the end, General Lucas was extremely helpless and had to send Monica to the local army, hoping to temper her hot temper.

After joining the army, Monica happened to meet Bethlem who served in the same unit. At that time, Bethlem also had to go to the army for two years according to the wishes of his parents. The two first fought because of a misunderstanding, and then they did not fight and met each other, and then they gradually got to know each other, and then sparked love.

After marrying Bertleme, Monica's temper became much more restrained, especially after having Erin. However, shortly after leaving Little Erin, Monica fell seriously ill and fell into the root of the disease. Not only could he not have children again, but his physical condition became worse. However, Bertleme did not alienate the two mothers and daughters because of this. Instead, he loved them more and more. In order not to let them suffer grievances, Bertleme even rejected the suggestions of the elders of the family to marry another daughter and give birth to a "dragon seed".

As Bethlem's only daughter, after Erin became sensible, she was not inferior to her mother in terms of beauty, but even had a less temper. Her even more popular temper became a heart disease between Monica and Bethlem. However, because she was the only daughter, both of them were reluctant to discipline her. On weekdays, she couldn't bear to even slap her apart.

A while ago, Bertlem decided to betroth Eileen to Jeff, a young and capable man she had always admired. However, Eileen did not like Jeff and was very disgusted with the marriage designated by her father. In anger, the daughter of the daughter actually started running away from home and actually ran to the Poole Star Zone tens of millions of light years away for a walk.

"What, you said you were bullied by a few street gangsters." When I heard Erin say that in Sadra, the city of Edel planet in Poole, he met several street gangsters who tried to touch her, Monica, who had been bedridden for a long time, shouted and cursed as if she had changed her own, and wanted to get out of bed: "Damn it, I don't want to live anymore, no, I'll ask your father to send some people to catch those gangsters who were disgusted with life, and actually bullied my mother and daughter."

"Mom, don't be excited, listen to me." Erin pulled Monica in a delicate voice, and then said again: "At that time, two young people, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, came. They both took action to save me, they..." Erin talked about the scene of her being rescued in detail.

"Oh, then do you remember the names of the two young men who saved you?" After hearing this, Monica breathed a little relieved and asked again with a smile.

"They seem to be called... Uh, mom, I seem to have forgotten to even ask their names." Erin tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't remember it.
