Chapter 0345 – The Mansion

“Damn it, this dead girl!”

After shouting the waiter to pay the bill. Zhuang Rui only know, dare to Miao Fei Fei also called a noon directly to the police station to black pepper steak takeout, needless to say, the account is naturally also credited to the head of the self.

Zhuang Rui is not really angry with her, in Zhuang Rui’s friends, in addition to other people’s wives, there are really few female friends, is to Miao police officer’s friendship, Zhuang Rui is still very cherish. Of course, just male and female friends, but also to explain? Well! Is the pure friendship relationship.

Out of the restaurant, Zhuang Rui drove to the courtyard, looking out the window of the traffic, Zhuang Rui has a kind of into the feeling of this place, to say that the climate of Beijing and Pengcheng, that is similar, but the old Beijing this strong cultural heritage, is Pengcheng can not be compared.

Driving on the streets of Beijing, the modern road and sometimes appear in the roadside of the ancient buildings. People will have a very strange feeling in their hearts, the thousand-year-old city and modern civilization is very harmonious intertwined together, the roadside those white-collar workers hurrying to work, and the old man carrying a birdcage to walk the birds, is also a vivid picture.

Car into the cultural reserve, Zhuang Rui intentionally slowed down the speed of the car, into the protected area of the road is not very wide, but a historical vicissitudes of the humanities came, every time through here, Zhuang Rui heart have a share of the feeling of simplicity and gravity.

This is just ten o’clock in the morning, vendors on both sides of the road full of stalls, a lot of foreigners are there and vendors gabbled about the price, high brick walls, and inadvertently from the yard out of the leaves and branches, the road corners of the dark moss in the shadows, all do not reveal the accumulation of history and precipitation.

Zhuang Rui this time did not park the car to the entrance of the alley there, but directly to the side door, from the car window can see, the original was built by some small traders illegally shacks, have all been demolished, replaced by an ancient corner of the building, both sides of the eaves, like a bull horn in general.

Maybe they got a warning from the leaders of the protected area, or the location under the corner building is a bit remote, extending a little bit inward from the main street, and without the shacks, the stalls could not get close to the roadside. So those vendors didn’t set up their stalls here, leaving a large piece of empty space.

“Huh? Wasn’t it said that it was going to be converted into a garage here?”

Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled, I didn’t see any side door opened! Below that corner building is still the same brick wall as the side, after thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui parked the car next to the corner building, pushed open the door and walked down.

“This …… is a roll-up door?!”

Walked down and stood under the corner building, Zhuang Rui realized, just looked at the wall from afar, actually is a roll-up door, don’t know what method Gu Yun used, will be the appearance of dress up and the surrounding walls in general, the distance is a little far away, are very difficult to find the difference between the two.

“Hey, I said that kid, what’s going on? Private place, touching again I’ll let the dog bite you!”

The sudden voice startled Zhuang Rui, turning around and twisting his head to look, Gu Yun was standing a dozen meters away, looking at himself with a bad smile on his face.

“Brother Gu. Open the roll-up door first, I’ll park the car in ……”

Zhuang Rui was a little impatient to see his new residence, to know, just this set of mansion, he threw more than eighty million dollars into it before and after, his heart is still very big expectations for it.

Gu Yun smiled, and after approaching Zhuang Rui, he threw over a remote control that was slightly smaller than a matchbox, and said: ”Hang it on your car keys! Right, park your car and hurry out, don’t enter the yard from that door, I’ll take you to the front door to see …….”

“Good le!”

Zhuang Rui also excited up, with the remote control to open the roll-up door, will be parked in the car, the garage area is not small, like the Grand Cherokee models can be put down five or six, even if the future and then add a number of cars, the garage is also enough to use.

“Don’t look, that door is fingerprint controlled, turn around and set it up for you, you can only use my fingerprints to open it, this makes there is no fear of someone entering the inner courtyard from the garage, by the way, this anti-theft door is specially ordered by me, it can only be verified by five people’s fingerprints, it is very troublesome to cancel it, you should think of who to give permission to go in and out at that time!”

Gu Yun also walked into the garage and saw Zhuang Rui staring at the garage side door. Speaking out to explain to him, although this cultural reserve has a very tight grip on law and order, but with such a large mansion, making the anti-theft facilities a little better is always a precautionary measure.

“Fingerprint control?”

Zhuang Rui was a little curious as he glanced around at the thick gate, this term seemed to have only been seen in movies, and he didn’t expect it to be applied to the folklore so soon.

“Let’s go! It’s your home anyway, are you afraid of not seeing enough?”

Gu Yun pulled Zhuang Rui, and the two of them went out of the garage and walked along the alley toward the main entrance.

“Brother Gu, is …… this still my mansion?”

Zhuang Rui walked to the front door and was dumbfounded, the fence on all four sides hadn’t changed, it was still those old green bricks, but the whole of this gate had changed.

On both sides of the gate, there are two teeth and claws of the stone lions, the four-meter-high gatehouse below, is three meters high, heavy and simple door, coated with bright baking paint, eight bowl-sized door nails neatly listed in two factions.

In addition to the original gatehouse is larger than a circle, the rest of the doorway, doorway, door frame, waist square, plug Yu board, go horse board, door pillow, even threshold, threshold, door hairpin, big side, wipe head, through the band, the door heart board, door cymbal, insertion of the shutter, animal face is a lot.

Looking at all this in front of him, Zhuang Rui how to have a feeling of coming to the Palace Museum ah! This is not called a mansion, called “luxury” door is not too much.

“Usually open the small door on the line, open the door so big, is some decoration of the object can not move in, but this is also grand is not, by the way, that pair of stone lions, but I asked the masters in Shandong to build, counting the freight cost a whole 200,000 it!”

Gu Yun words let Zhuang Rui laughed bitterly, this buddy really do not take their own money as money to spend ah, a pair of stone lions spent two hundred thousand. But this does look grand enough, the craftsmanship seems to be much better than those stone lions that Zhuang Rui often sees in front of the bank.

“Well, that door lock is a pendulum, to be opened like this.”

Seeing Zhuang Rui to fiddle with the antique door lock, Gu Yun hastily stopped, lifted the door lock upwards, which reveals a keyhole, and then took out a bunch of keys from his body, and after gesticulating for a while, he found one and inserted it.

After walking into the concierge, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but see a bright light, the layout here is exactly the same as before, the large lapis lazuli paved floor, permeated with a sense of atmosphere, everywhere is wooden doors and windows, to say that and the first time I came to make a difference, is that everything is brand new, revealing a bright luster.

That with a pattern of blessing and happiness on the pendant door, painted very beautiful, eaves rafters rafters oiled into blue-green, looking at the wood oiled into red, round rafters oiled into a blue-white-black sets such as halo of the pearl pattern, square rafters is a blue background of the gold word stranded or diamond flower pattern.

The most let Zhuang Rui excited is, Gu Yun do not know where to transplant over some grape vines, around the pendant door winding a circle, appears to be so green and vibrant.

“Zhuang Rui, the carving pattern of this courtyard is still the same as before ah! This bat, the character for longevity composed of ‘Fortune and Longevity’ to insert the moon season dining vase means ‘police officer’ and also, ‘the age of cold three friends’, ‘Yu Tong rich and noble ‘, ‘Fortune, Longevity and Happiness’ and so on, each courtyard represents a symbol, you can see it slowly later!”

Passing through the hanging flower gate, Gu Yun casually introduces the architectural style of this courtyard to Zhuang Rui, during Zhuang Rui’s last visit, these carving patterns were all broken and hard to recognize.

“Boy! Brother Gu, don’t tell me. If you don’t do the construction business, and you go to get creative ideas for other people, it’s absolutely first class.”

Walking to the middle courtyard of the mansion, Zhuang Rui was immediately stunned by the beauty in front of him, this large garden in the middle courtyard, is the entire courtyard covers the largest area, in front of the pavilion, corridors, ponds, rockery, fish play in the pond, next to the planting of flowers, plants and trees Zhuang Rui can’t call by name.

And the most beautiful scenery, but that occupies a large half of the pond lotus, September is the season of the lotus in full bloom, pink lotus gracefully floating up from the water, fragrance far away, such as the Lingbo Cui cover, in the fan leaves of the size of the lotus leaves backing, appears to be so graceful and noble.

Lotus has eight months of blooming season every year, and adaptability is very strong, since ancient times, is the palace court and private garden of the precious aquatic flowers, their own garden of these lotus, obviously is the ancient cloud from somewhere else transplanted over, can will be so thoughtful of these details, Zhuang Rui know that the ancient cloud on his set of mansion, really is a big effort.

“Brother Gu, you, you’re not going to tell me that this house is finished now, are you?”

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Zhuang Rui stumbled and asked, saying that the construction period was three months, this is only just one and a half months, but it’s a whole half time ahead of the construction period ah!

“Finished the day before yesterday, waiting for you the boss to acceptance, by the way, spent a total of more than 13 million, there are still about 1.2 million left, that money I can not give you ah! Sort of to the workers to pay bonuses, the detailed account I turn back to show you …….”

Gu Yun looked at these buildings in front of him, is also heartfelt, to know, this more than a month, he ate and lived here, basically every day and workers to catch up with the night work, do some not very noisy work, otherwise, I am afraid that the delivery of the house will have to be a week at night.

“Well, well, those Gu brother you look at it just fine, how the bonus is distributed, that’s all your business ……”

Zhuang Rui’s mind pressed on the money above, walked to the door of a room that should be a living room, pushed open the door and walked in.
