While Chu Long was reading "Les Misérables", Ya Heng also ended the call with the other party. Seeing Chu Long reading, he sat back on the sofa and said, "You can read it first, but don't touch my bookmark.
"
"When I read this book, it brought me back to my childhood."
"When I was a kid, I read a lot of famous books from various countries, including this one." Chu Long sat back on the sofa and said with a little sadness. He seemed to think of his parents again and the friends who had been with him since childhood.
Seeing that Chu Long was falling into sadness again, Ya Heng changed the subject and said, "Chu Long, do you understand architecture?"
"Ah, building?" Chu Long almost fell into long-lasting memories again, and was confused by Ya Heng's sudden question.
"Yeah, I'm planning to renovate the hotel in a while. Do you know anything about this?" In fact, Ya Heng was just looking for something to talk about when he had nothing to say. The key was to liven up the atmosphere and stop chatting in a low tone. He didn't do that either.
I hope Chu Long can say that he is ugly and Yinmao will come.
"I know a little bit. My father's classmate is studying architecture. He has occasionally talked about it in front of me before, but he was not very interested."
"Your hotel is built in the Renaissance architectural style. This style is not common in Britain, but it's pretty much it."
Hearing what Chu Long said, Ya Heng suddenly became interested and wanted to hear what he knew. Ya Heng said at this time: "Can you tell me what you know about building houses?"
“Then let’s talk about Renaissance architecture first!”
"When it comes to Renaissance architecture, Italian Renaissance architecture occupies the most important position in Renaissance architecture. The reason why your house style is not said to be common in the UK, but almost it, is because Britain and France are close neighbors, and many of them are in France.
The British who lived here brought French neoclassical architectural style to the UK, and also incorporated architectural styles from other European countries.”
"The hotel you have now not only has Renaissance architectural elements, but also incorporates some Gothic architectural style, but it's not very obvious."
"The British prefer Gothic architectural style, and Gothic architecture is a further development of Roman-style architecture. Gothic architecture was originally developed in Western Europe from the 12th to the 15th century, centered in France."
Chu Long looked at Ya Heng and said, "Is there any coffee?"
"Yes, do you want to add sugar?" Ya Heng stood up and said as he walked outside the house.
"No." Chu Long casually picked up the "The Times" placed on the sofa and started reading it.
After a while, Ya Heng came in with a cup of coffee, placed it opposite Chu Long, and sat down.
"Goths" were originally one of the Germanic "barbarians" who participated in the overthrow of Roman slavery. In the 15th century, the Renaissance movement opposed feudal theocracy and advocated the resurrection of ancient Roman culture, so the architectural style at that time was called "Gothic".
Expressing its negation. At that time, architecture was still
Mainly based on churches, the architectural style is completely divorced from the influence of ancient Rome. Instead, it uses pointed coupons (from the East), pointed rib vaults, steeply sloped two-slope roofs, and bell towers, buttresses, and beams in the church.
It is characterized by flowers and empty lattice." Chu Long chatted with Yaheng again.
"Westminster Abbey in the United Kingdom, as the main representative of British medieval architecture, the architectural style and characteristics of Westminster Abbey have continued to change during the Marathon construction years, from Norman to Gothic.
, to the early Renaissance style, but its basic features are still Gothic, so after more than 700 years of repairs, it can still maintain its original appearance, thanks to architects like Scott." Chu Long said as he drank.
Had a sip of coffee.
After listening to Chu Long's brief history of British architecture, Yaheng shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't understand architecture at all."
Chu Long laughed at himself: "As far as my level is concerned, I'm far from a real architect. To put it bluntly, I'm as good as a toddler."
Chu Long and Ya Heng chatted until lunch time and had lunch together in the villa. There was nothing to say about Ya Heng's cooking skills. To be honest, Chu Long always felt that Ya Heng's talent in cooking was much better than his talent in business.
If there is too much, it will be enough for a chef.
After lunch, Chu Long and Ya Heng returned to the hotel together and dealt with their respective tasks. It was not until midnight that after finishing the day's work, Chu Long returned to his room on the second floor alone.
Back in the room, Chu Long had nothing to do and looked at this room for the first time. Some time ago, he was very confused, confused about his identity and future. Now that he had figured it all out, Chu Long looked at this room for the first time.
I have lived in a room for a while, and I have to say that this room is indeed the room where the boss’s brother once lived, and it is better than other hotel rooms. It is said that after the boss’s brother left, the place has not changed at all, and it is often cleaned.
The carved brick wall skirt depicts the Egyptian Sphinx, but it does not have wings. The coffee table is made of mahogany, with harp-shaped legs and rungs under the table. The same table is placed next to the door.
It is a round table made of mahogany, with triangular columns and an inward-curved lion's claw-shaped base.
The legs are at each vertex of the triangle. This is both a card table and a dining table. On the round table is a simple rattan vase with "Forget Me Not" dried flowers. Opposite the coffee table is a solid wood sofa in the early James style.
, the sofa features curves and Elizabethan curved carvings.
The room is divided into a large living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The living room displays Baroque-style furniture from the Queen Anne period. On the one hand, it has luxurious and exquisite style of palace furniture, and on the other hand, it is influenced by the Netherlands and popular among the people.
Simple style walnut furniture. Chulong knew that Baroque furniture during the William III and Queen Anne periods presented more unique national styles, among which wood veneer technology and inlay work were the most outstanding.
Stepping into the bedroom, there are two walnut chairs placed in the corner. The black and white base is decorated with tawny wood inlays with various flower and bird patterns. Next to the two chairs is a walnut dressing table with a yellow wood base.
It is inlaid with dark brown wood and decorated with fine arabesques.
There is a small ebony table placed in the middle of the two walnut chairs. The four legs of the table are made of nude women.
C-shaped connection, silver scroll hanging under the viewing board, openwork carvings of leafy branches, and ebony wooden tabletop.
There is a lounge chair placed near the window. The chair surface is also made of rattan. The chair legs are railing-style legs with animal claw feet. The legs are decorated with scrolled acanthus leaves and the backrest is tilted backwards.
There is an openwork decoration on the outside of the file, and there are three curves on the middle vertical plate plus an openwork decoration curve.
In the middle of the bedroom, there is an English-style plank bed against the wall, and a walnut carved wardrobe next to it. The whole bedroom gives a simple and luxurious feeling. However, according to Ya Heng, this whole room
It was all decorated by his younger brother, including the decorations on very few pieces of furniture, all designed by his younger brother himself.
