The Tang Family Manor, also located in the small town of Perrin in the Seine-et-Marne department on the eastern outskirts of Paris, covers an area of nearly 300 acres, which is almost as large as three Prince Gong's palaces in the capital.
If all is used to build a courtyard, the inner garden will certainly be large enough and magnificent. Think about the description of the Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions, how big is the area?
But when building a modern manor on overseas land, it should include various arenas, gardens, ponds, wine cellars, swimming pools, racecourses, helipads, parking lots, etc. in addition to the main residential villa.
In fact, the area of three hundred acres is just that!
Although he was dissatisfied with Tang Jinxue's cunning, Jing Gao still decided to follow Dong Youwei's original plan and take everyone accompanying him to Tang's house for lunch at noon.
It’s really uncomfortable to go to the small town of Peilan in the middle of the day and deal with someone casually.
Tang Jinxue had two drinks with Jing Gao, and arranged for the housekeeper Lao Jiang to take Jing Gao and his party to a secluded guest room in the back garden for a lunch break.
Tonight's "Thank You Banquet" is about to begin. Chinese businessmen from all over Europe are coming one after another. It should be quieter in the garden.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Gao took a nap and then got up. The body is the capital of profligacy, and he always pays great attention to maintenance and exercise. After taking a nap for more than half an hour at noon, he will be full of energy.
Outside the window were several tall ginkgo trees in the backyard. Listening to the chirping of birds, Jing Gao looked at this tiled house that looked antique on the outside but was actually a modern layout inside. He took a look at the hangings in the house.
After reading the landscape painting, I went out for a walk.
This is a courtyard. The place where Jing Gao rests is three connected tile houses. Next door is the residence of Ouyang Wan and Chen Qingshuang. Jing Gao listened to their long breathing outside the window of their respective rooms and knew that they were still alive.
He was sleeping. He stopped calling them and walked out of the courtyard.
The entrance to Mr. Jing’s small courtyard is guarded by two of his bodyguards.
Jing Gao waved his hand and refused the bodyguards to follow him, "What can happen at the Tang family? Besides, the danger in Paris has long been eliminated. I have a mobile phone with me."
Dismissing the bodyguards, Jing Gao walked along the tree-lined path behind the small courtyard to the depths of the Tang family garden to admire the beautiful scenery of the garden. Exotic flowers and plants, mountains, rocks, trees, ponds and flowing water were all available.
But after all, the traces of axe-cutting are very strong. It is not a pure Chinese taste. As for the natural pastoral scenery, in his childhood memories, he saw it in his hometown of Haizhou.
His father worked as a worker in a factory in the city all his life. It was a good job at that time! Otherwise, he would not have married his mother who worked in the street office. After all, my mother was still a civil servant!
Of course, his father also experienced the wave of layoffs from state-owned enterprises at the turn of the new century.
In my hometown, there are still some relatives of Grandpa Jinggao's generation. However, with the death of grandpa and grandma in the past ten years, the relationship between these relatives has faded.
It is now 2018. In the small town of Haizhou, which is not sure whether it is the fourth or fifth tier, a large number of people are moving into the city to buy houses, expand the city, and attract investment. Most of Jing Gao’s relatives are in Haizhou City.
However, when he was a child, he also went to the countryside to play for a while. It was so fun that there was nothing interesting about it. There were cattle, mud and dogs. The rapeseed flowers in April and May were all over the mountains and fields, and they were extremely beautiful.
What’s more, it’s really quiet in the afternoon. It’s just like here now. Especially now at the end of June in the Gregorian calendar, it’s almost the “double rush”. The cuckoos flying overhead in the afternoon keep calling: “It’s better to go back! It’s better to go back!”
"
Jing Gao walked casually, his thoughts divergent. After taking two steps, he suddenly found that he came to a stone bridge and in front of the Crescent Gate. His sight to the front, back and left were blocked by pavilions, houses and trees. "Here I go, I'm actually lost!"
When I first came here, I thought the Tang family's manor was not big enough. I was careless."
Jing Gao picked up his phone and tried to open Google Maps, but it was useless. The layout of the private estate would never be released to Google.
He thought again, searched for WeChat friends on his phone, and felt relieved. When he first visited the Tang family, Tang Jinxue's granddaughter Tang Wenxin asked to add him as a WeChat friend. Now it can come in handy.
"Miss Tang, please come and pick me up. I'm here." Jing Gao roughly described the place where he was. He didn't believe that the Tang family manor would be so evil, making several identical stones in the back garden.
The bridge exists.
About twenty minutes later, Jing Gao saw Tang Wenxin, who was slender and naturally beautiful in a light orange dress and midi skirt, appearing in a quiet and beautiful garden.
She was twenty-one years old, with her hair tied casually in hairpins, hanging down on one side of her shoulders. She was walking along the bank of the artificial river wearing high-heeled sandals. Her light orange short-sleeved dress had a waist-cinching
Design, with waist and hips. White calves are slender. The whole person looks slender, elegant and beautiful.
A tall, slender, youthful and charming girl.
"Mr. Jing, good afternoon. Let me take you out!" Tang Wenxin was very smart and never mentioned that Jing Gao got lost. With a smile on her delicate and pretty Guazi face, she asked Jing Gao for his opinion in a soft voice.
This is not because she is acting coquettishly, but because her speaking voice and habits have this soft, moist flavor, which adds to her feminine feeling.
Jing Gao did not shy away from anything, and said mockingly: "I was thinking about something, and I ended up getting lost at your house. Miss Tang, please don't tell anyone. Oh, I didn't waste your time, did I?"
Tang Wenxin glanced at Jing Gao out of the corner of her eye in slight surprise. She didn't expect Jing Gao to admit that he was lost. A road idiot might look cute to a girl and make people want to protect her, but for a man, it probably means he has incomplete life skills.
.
And when Jing Gao asked her to help lead the way, wasn't it for his own sake? But he admitted openly in front of her that he was indeed a very unique man.
Tang Wenxin smiled slightly and said: "I won't tell anyone! Mr. Jing, you can call me Xiao Tang or Wenxin. I was just drinking tea and chatting with some friends in the pavilion. I won't waste time."
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Then it's my fault. So, Wenxin, take me back to the way you came from, just in time for you to pass by. Oh, is there a bathroom nearby?"
Tang Wenxin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, a little embarrassed, but also felt that he was so frank, so she said: "Mr. Jing, come with me!" She led Jing Gao to the Crescent Gate and took a path to the bathroom.
From the crescent gate, you pass through a small courtyard and an elegant bamboo forest, and behind it are two flower halls built on the mountain. The pillars and doors are all in classical style. Tang Wenxin and Jing Gao were going to take the path on the side of the "rockery".
Go over there. The bathroom is at the back.
But the two of them had to stop as soon as they came out of the bamboo forest.
The sounds of men and women moaning, umming, ahhh and gasping were coming from the flower hall. You can imagine what was going on inside.
