After getting out of the car, Lin Yan stood in front of the building and looked at the garden. Some scenes from Western movies flashed in her mind. Then, she turned back and looked at the building in front of her, feeling anticipation rising in her heart.

"Let's go in and take a look." Song Yuanchao was also looking forward to what kind of surprise the renovated place would give him.

According to his request, Professor Pan did not completely renovate the exterior layout of the building. Apart from repairing some of the damage caused by age, the original appearance was completely preserved.

Regardless of whether you look at it from a distance or up close, this small building that has endured for more than a hundred years seems to have stepped out of a rich history, making people so fascinated and deeply moved.

Walking up the granite steps to the front door, Song Yuanchao took the key from Zhang Jianguo and inserted the key into the door lock. There was a soft sound and the back door opened.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yuanchao pushed open the thick oak door and walked in with Lin Yan.

Entering the inside from the outside, the light was a little dim, but it did not prevent Song Yuanchao from seeing the displays inside clearly, especially when Zhang Jianguo, who followed him in, pressed the switch on the wall behind the door. As the lights in the entrance hall turned on, Song Yuanchao and

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.

"This...is our home? Isn't it too luxurious to aid Korea?" Lin Yan's eyes widened, looking at everything displayed in front of her in disbelief, she couldn't help but say.

Lin Yan is right, it is the word luxury.

Compared with the courtyard houses in Yanjing, this place feels luxurious, extravagant and exquisite.

There is a big difference between Western architecture and Chinese architecture. The character of Chinese people is introverted, while the character of Westerners is extroverted. The difference between the two can be seen from the personalities of different races, which also affects the architecture and display.

aspect.

If we look at the historical age of the house, Mu Zhang'a's Villa in Yanjing during the Song Yuan Dynasty far exceeds this house. If we compare it in terms of future value, the two can be said to be about the same. As for the internal display and layout of the two houses,

Although the furniture in Yanjing is exquisite and full of history, the furniture here shows a more intuitive sense of luxury or luxury.

There is a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the sky in the center of the living room. When the light is turned on, countless crystals shine and refract under the light. The ground under your feet is a large piece of marble. The marble is white with exquisite lines.

, covering the entire hall all the time.

A set of dark brown leather sofas is placed on the right side of the living room. In front of the sofa is a coffee table. There is a fireplace in front of it. The abandoned fireplace that has not been used for a long time has been completely restored. The copper-colored shelves and handles shine in the light.

To the left of the living room is the dining room, with a long dining table and chairs neatly placed. A beautiful chandelier hangs above the dining table, the table is covered with a checkered tablecloth, and a silver candle holder is placed in the center.

The bathroom and kitchen in the living room are at the end of the dining room. There are two rooms on the right side of the living room. When the door is opened, one is a small guest room. The floor is all made of teak. The display of the room is simple but exquisite. All the furniture is of old Western style.

The furniture and windows have latticework, the hinges are copper hinges from top to bottom, and the handles are the heavy copper handles from a hundred years ago.

The other large one is the study room. The study room is more than 30 square meters. Both walls are covered with heavy bookshelves, but there are no books on the bookshelves. There is a wine cabinet in the center of the bookshelf. There is also a fireplace on the other wall, but it is smaller than the one in the hall.

The ones are slightly smaller, but have the same shape.

The study room is divided into two places. A huge executive desk is placed next to the south window. The south window is floor-to-ceiling. The velvet curtains are half-opened. There is an inward-opening door on one side, which can be opened directly from here.

Go to the garden from the other side of the building.

There is no stationery on the executive desk, but there is a dark green desk lamp. This style of desk lamp can often be seen in old movies. As for the executive chair, it is even more eye-catching. It is brown and black and blends seamlessly with the executive desk.

In addition, there are two single sofas and a three-person sofa placed near the fireplace, which can be used for resting between reading or meeting guests.

After exiting the study room, there is a spiral staircase to the east of the living room. Follow the stairs to the second floor.

There are three rooms on the second floor, namely the master room and two secondary bedrooms. Although the layout of each room is slightly different, the style is the same. The two secondary bedrooms can accommodate children and other family members. In addition to the master room, there is a dedicated bathroom.

In addition, there is a large public bathroom on the second floor. The color scheme in the bathroom is white and dark green, which makes it look clean and elegant.

All sanitary utensils are made of copper, and the styles are the same as those a hundred years ago. According to Zhang Jianguo, these were specially customized from the furniture and hardware factory. It cost a lot of money, but after the installation, everyone felt that

The money is worth every penny.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the large bathtub in the bathroom. The white bathtub is big enough to fit two people. It is placed near the window and can be noticed at a glance.

There are also two rooms on the third floor, which can be used as guest rooms or small living rooms. As for the fourth floor, it is the attic. It is now a storage room, and there is nothing in it...

The whole house also has a semi-basement, which used to be used as a tool room, but is now converted into a sports room. It is very large and can be used for exercise. If you buy a pool table and play billiards, there will be no problem.

After walking around from bottom to top, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan were more and more surprised as they looked at it. Although there were still many things missing in the house, including all daily necessities, even Song Yuanchao did not expect that the finished house would be so beautiful.

The result made him extremely satisfied.

"This house is too luxurious and too big..." Lin Yan was pleasantly surprised and a little uneasy at the same time. Compared with the house in Yanjing, the house here was really beyond her expectation. In her opinion, it was clearly the same house as before.

This is where big capitalists live. Is it appropriate for them to live here?

"What are you worried about? If it's not suitable now, it will be suitable later." Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "Besides, with such a high courtyard wall, who knows what it will look like inside once the door is closed? Not to mention that this house was bought with his own money.

, neither stealing nor robbing, coming in an honest and fair manner."

"You are right. You are telling the same story and you deliberately hid it from me. I thought it was just an ordinary house. Who would have thought it would be like this..." Lin Yan complained to Song Yuanchao.

"If nothing else, do you like it?" Song Yuanchao asked in Lin Yan's ear.

Lin Yan hesitated and nodded: "I like it, of course I like it, but I'm just not used to it."

"In the future, we will get used to it if we live more. There are many household items here that are not complete. How about we go to the department store to buy them all in a few days? By the way, there are also some small decorations and so on. If you like the ones, we will

Match it according to your idea? When everything is finished, we will live here when we come to Shanghai?"

Women cannot resist the temptation to decorate and decorate their homes, and Lin Yan is no exception. When Song Yuanchao said these words, she was immediately tempted, and nodded after thinking about it.

This place gave Song Yuanchao and his wife too many surprises. They lingered here for a long time, and they reluctantly left until the time was almost up in the afternoon.

After returning to the alley and putting away their luggage, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan first went to see the Zhang family's aunt.

Seeing Song Yuan come back towards them, the Zhang family's aunt was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She was even happier when she saw that Lin Yan was still wearing the old silver bracelet she gave Lin Yan on her wrist.

First, she kowtowed to the mother-in-law of the Zhang family to make up for the regret that the mother-in-law of the Zhang family could not come to the wedding in Yanjing. The mother-in-law of the Zhang family accepted this gift from the couple with a smile, and when they got up, they held hands and chanted

He was talking and even shed tears when he got excited.

Next to them, Zhang Hao and Xiao Pingping were also there, especially Xiao Haozi who was very sweet today, calling Lin Yan a sister-in-law, which made Lin Yan very happy.

"You big skin king, why didn't you go out to play with your friends today? Have you changed your temper?" Song Yuanchao asked Xiao Haozi with a smile.

"Brother, can you please talk it over? When did I become King Pi? I am a flower of the motherland. I have been innocent and lively since I was a child, okay? Don't get me wrong with King Pi." Xiao Haozi rolled his eyes at Song Yuanchao.

He said pretentiously.

Xiao Haozi's words made everyone burst into laughter. Zhang Jianguo even glared and told him to pay attention to what he said. When did he learn this trick?

"Dad, don't glare at me. You even said that my elder brother was the king of skin when he was a child. My child's childish words are not wrong." Xiao Haozi said plausibly.

"You brat, you're crazy!" Zhang Jianguo's face froze and he became angry with embarrassment.

"Brother has always been disobedient, and he also acted like a rogue to make people crazy. I am obedient, I am obedient, I am a good boy, not King Pi!" Xiao Pingping raised her hands aside, and her crisp voice made everyone laugh again.

After laughing for a while, Song Yuanchao asked Zhang Hao why he stayed at home today. At this time, Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said: "Brother, let me tell you, I will graduate from elementary school soon and will be a junior high school student soon."

, I am no longer a child."

"When I grow up, it's no longer fun to play with kids like them. It's too childish!"

"Haha, tell me, what is not childish?" Song Yuanchao asked with interest.

Zhang Hao chuckled: "Of course I am doing what adults do. I want to be a scientist and an inventor in the future! I will be a junior high school student soon, and I can't continue to waste time. I must study hard and make progress every day, and work hard.

Realize your ideal..."

Song Yuanchao was a little surprised when he looked at the serious Zhang Hao, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jianguo sitting beside him: "Uncle, little Haozi is pretty good. He has grown up and is sensible."

"That's for sure. Children should be more sensible as they grow up. In the past two months, they have indeed not been in trouble every day like before." Zhang Jianguo said with some pride. As the old saying goes, children with dysentery like themselves, not to mention that Zhang Hao, a kid like Zhang Hao, has grown up since he was a child.

Just smart and clever.

"Xiao Haozi, you have a good ambition, but it is not easy to realize your ideal. Tell me what kind of scientist you want to be? What kind of inventor you want to be?"

"I want to be a pilot! I want to build airplanes when I grow up!" Zhang Hao answered loudly without even thinking about it.

"Okay! This ideal is very good, and I support you!"

"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Hao smiled broadly, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you support me? Isn't it just words?"

Song Yuanchao was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How do you support me?"

"Of course it's action support!" Zhang Hao said matter-of-factly: "What's the point of firing cannons? Action support is real. Brother, since I want to be a pilot and build an airplane, am I going to do this from now on?"

Working towards a goal? Do you want to make progress step by step? Do you think that’s right?”

"Yes, but..." Song Yuanchao vaguely noticed that this little guy seemed to be setting a trap for himself. He was about to say a few words to change the topic, but Zhang Hao immediately rushed to say: "Brother, you also admitted it.

Isn't it? My requirements are not high, can you help me buy a plane?

What about the aircraft model? Is it the kind of model that can fly into the sky? With this model, I can study the principles of how the aircraft flies into the sky, and I can also start to get in touch with these, laying a solid foundation for the lofty ideals of the future. You

Do you think this is true?"
