After calling the waiter to pay the bill, Zhuang Rui found out that Miao Feifei also ordered a black pepper steak takeout that was delivered directly to the police station at noon. Needless to say, the bill was naturally charged to him.
Zhuang Rui is not really angry with her. Among Zhuang Rui's friends, apart from other people's wives, there are really few female friends. Therefore, Zhuang Rui still cherishes his friendship with Officer Miao. Of course, it is only between men and women.
Friends, you still need to explain? Well, it’s just a pure friendship.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhuang Rui drove towards the courtyard. Looking at the busy traffic outside the car window, Zhuang Rui felt like he had blended into the place. The climates in Beijing and Pengcheng were similar, but the rich culture of old Beijing
The foundation is unmatched by Pengcheng.
Driving on the streets of Beijing, the modern roads and the ancient buildings that sometimes appear on the roadside will give people a very strange feeling. The thousand-year-old city and modern civilization are harmoniously intertwined.
White-collar workers at work and old people walking with birds in cages are also vivid pictures.
When the car entered the cultural reserve, Zhuang Rui deliberately slowed down the car. The road entering the reserve was not very wide, but a sense of historical vicissitudes and humanities came to his face. Every time he passed by this place, Zhuang Rui felt something in his heart.
Simple and heavy feeling.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning. Small vendors had set up stalls on both sides of the road. Many foreigners were chatting with the vendors about the prices. On the high green brick and red tile walls, there were also people walking inadvertently from the courtyard.
The leaves and branches sticking out from the inside, the dark green moss in the shadows at the corners of the road, all reveal the accumulation and precipitation of history here.
Zhuang Rui did not park the car at the alley this time, but drove directly to the side door. From the car window, he could see that all the shacks illegally built by some small traders had been demolished and replaced with
It is an antique turret with raised eaves on both sides, like horns.
Maybe I got a warning from the leader of the reserve, or maybe the location under the turret is a bit remote, extending a little further in from the main street. Without the shacks, the stalls cannot be set up close to the roadside, so the vendors are not here.
Set up a stall and leave a large open space,
"Huh? Didn't you agree to turn this place into a garage?"
Zhuang Rui was a little confused. He didn't see the side door open. The bottom of the turret was still the same blue brick wall as the one next to it. After thinking about it, Zhuang Rui parked the car next to the turret, opened the door and walked out.
"This...is this a rolling shutter door?!"
After getting out of the car and standing under the turret, Zhuang Rui discovered that the wall he was looking at from a distance was actually a rolling shutter door. I don't know what method Gu Yun used to make the appearance look the same as the surrounding walls, but a little farther away.
It's hard to spot the difference between the two.
"Hey, what are you doing, kid? If you touch your private place again, I'll let the dog bite you!"
The sudden sound startled Zhuang Rui, and he turned around to see Gu Yun standing more than ten meters away, looking at him with a smirk on his face.
"Brother Gu, open the rolling shutter door first, and I'll park the car in..."
Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to see his new home. You know, he had spent more than 80 million yuan on this house, so he had high expectations for it.
Gu Yun smiled, approached Zhuang Rui, threw a remote control slightly smaller than a matchbox, and said: "Hang it on your car key. By the way, park the car and get out quickly. Don't enter through that door.
Courtyard, I will take you to the main entrance to see..."
"okay!"
Zhuang Rui also became excited. After opening the rolling door with the remote control, he parked the car in. The garage was quite large and could accommodate five or six cars such as the Grand Cherokee. Even if he added more cars in the future, the garage would still be large enough.
used.
"Don't look at it. That door is controlled by fingerprints. I'll set it up for you later. It can only be opened with your own fingerprints. This way you won't have to worry about someone entering the inner courtyard from the garage. By the way, this security door was specially customized by me.
Yes, it can only pass the fingerprint verification of five people. It is very troublesome to cancel it. You have to think about who to give access to in and out at that time..."
Gu Yun also walked into the garage and saw Zhuang Rui staring at the side door of the garage. He explained to him that although this cultural reserve is very tight on security, for such a large house, the anti-theft facilities should be better.
, after all, you are prepared.
"Fingerprint control?"
Zhuang Rui wandered around the heavy gate with some curiosity. It seemed that this term had only been seen in movies, but he did not expect it to be applied to the people so quickly.
"Let's go. It's your home anyway. Are you afraid you won't see enough?"
Gu Yun pulled Zhuang Rui, and the two of them walked out of the garage and walked along the alley to the main entrance.
"Brother Gu, this...is this still my house?"
Zhuang Rui walked to the door and was dumbfounded. The walls on the four sides had not changed, they were still the old blue bricks, but the door had completely changed.
On both sides of the gate, there are two stone lions with teeth and claws. Under the gatehouse, which is about four meters high, is a thick and simple gate that is three meters high. It is painted with bright baking paint and has eight bowl-sized door nails.
Those who were gathered formed two groups.
Except that it is larger than the original gatehouse, the rest are like gate tower, door opening, door frame, waist railing, rest board, walking horse board, door pillow, connecting sill, threshold, door hairpin, large border, wiper, and belt.
, door panels, door cymbals, plugs, and animal faces are a lot of them.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhuang Rui felt as if he had arrived at the Palace Museum. This is not called a mansion gate, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "rich" gate.
"Usually, just open a small door. Opening the door so wide means that some decoration items cannot be moved in, but it is not very impressive. By the way, the pair of stone lions were made by experts in Shandong, including the shipping cost.
A total of two hundred thousand..."
Gu Yun's words made Zhuang Rui smile bitterly. This guy really didn't spend his money as money. A pair of stone lions cost 200,000, but they looked really impressive, and the craftsmanship seemed to be better than what Zhuang Rui often did.
The stone lions you see at the bank entrance are much better.
"Well, that door lock is just a decoration. It needs to be opened like this..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui playing with the antique door lock, Gu Yun quickly stopped him, lifted the door lock upwards, revealing a keyhole, then took out a bunch of keys from his body, gestured and found a keyhole.
Got in.
After walking into the concierge, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but his eyes lit up. The layout here was exactly the same as before. The floor paved with large bluestones exuded an atmosphere, and wooden doors and windows could be seen everywhere. It was different from the first time he came here.
The difference is that everything is brand new and has a bright luster.
The hanging flower door with the Fuluxi pattern is painted very beautifully. The cornice and rafter heads are painted blue-green, the wood is painted red, the round rafter heads are painted blue, white and black, like a halo orb pattern, and the square rafters are painted blue, white and black. The head has a blue background with a golden twist or rhombus pattern.
What excites Zhuang Rui the most is that Gu Yun transplanted some grapevines from somewhere and wrapped them around the hanging flower door. They looked so green and full of vitality.
"Zhuang Rui, the carving patterns in this courtyard are still the same as before. The bat and longevity characters form "good fortune and longevity", and the Kun vase with roses means "peace in all seasons", as well as "descendants for generations", "suihan" "Three Friends", "Yutang Wealth and Honor", "Fu Lu, Longevity and Joy", etc. Each courtyard represents a meaning. You can read it slowly in the future."
Passing through the hanging flower gate, Gu Yun casually introduced the architectural style of this courtyard to Zhuang Rui. When Zhuang Rui came last time, the carvings and patterns were so damaged that it was difficult to recognize them.
"Good boy! Brother Gu, don't mention it. Even if you don't work in the construction industry and go to create ideas for others, you will definitely be first-rate..."
When he walked to the middle courtyard of the house, Zhuang Rui was immediately stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him. The large garden in the middle yard was the largest in the entire courtyard. There were pavilions, corridors, ponds, rockeries, and fish in the pond in front of him. Playing around, there are flowers, plants and trees that Zhuang Rui can't name.
The most beautiful scenery is nothing more than the lotus that occupies most of the pond. September is the season when the lotus blooms. The pink lotus floats from the water with a delicate fragrance, like rippling waves. The green cover, set against the lotus leaves the size of fan leaves, looks so graceful and noble.
Lotus has a blooming season of eight months every year and is extremely adaptable. Since ancient times, it has been a precious aquatic flower in palace gardens and private gardens. The lotus flowers in my garden were obviously transplanted by Gu Yun from other places. , being able to think about these details so carefully, Zhuang Rui knew that Gu Yun had really put a lot of effort into his house.
"Brother Gu, you, you won't tell me that this house will be completed now, will you?"
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhuang Rui asked awkwardly. The promised construction period was three months. It was only one and a half months, but the construction period was fully half of the time ahead of schedule.
"It was completed the day before yesterday and is waiting for you, the boss, to come and inspect it. By the way, it cost a total of more than 13 million, and there is about 1.2 million left. I won't give you that money. It's for the workers." The bonus has been distributed, I will show you the detailed account later..."
Gu Yun looked at the buildings in front of him and felt something in his heart. You must know that for more than a month, he had room and board here. Basically, he had to work late at night with the workers every day, doing some less noisy work. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will take another week to hand over the apartment.
"Well, well, you can just take care of those things, Brother Gu. How to distribute the bonuses is all your business..."
Zhuang Rui's mind was not focused on money at all. He walked to a door that should be the living room, opened the door and walked in.
