The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan
Chapter 144
Chapter 144
Along the way, we also saw the Bank of China Building, one of the landmark buildings in Central. In order not to cause trouble, Chen Jisheng just took a look at it from a distance.
Then he walked around looking for a place to have lunch. Along the way, the elder sister often looked at him behind him.
Because of Zhang Yiqing, shopping is obviously not a good project for Zhang Yiqing who has limited mobility.
But Chen Sheng didn't speak, so she could only follow. Although it was hard work, it was nothing, but the big room's support from time to time made her a little trembling.
For lunch, Chen Jisheng did not dare to find a food stall, but instead looked for a hotel with private rooms.
Captain Mo and the others were arranged to sit outside, while Chen Jisheng led Lao Yang and the others into the private room.
When ordering, Chen Jisheng came by himself. The portion was five times the normal amount, and most of the dishes he ordered were seafood and meat.
Lao Yang and the others did not disappoint Chen Jisheng. Looking at the CDs that the waiter kept taking away, Chen Jisheng's lips curled up. Apart from killing people, the only thing left to do here was to enjoy life.
Lao Yang and the others had a happy meal, and Chen Jisheng stopped leading them around, and went straight across the sea to the car and headed for the house in Beacon Hill.
The driver of the minibus already knew the location, and Chen Jisheng nodded when he saw the small courtyard combining Chinese and Western styles. Dong Sheng's old house was not bad.
Mai Jie was already waiting outside the door. As a close confidant of Sister Fang, he knew a little about Chen Sheng's identity and was extremely attentive.
The house he requested in the morning was quickly completed in the face of capital. Looking at the several house deeds with the ink in his hand that had not yet dried, Chen Jisheng smiled and encouraged.
Without looking at his own house, Chen Jisheng ordered to turn around and look at the newly purchased house. As the second wife of a wealthy real estate family, Sister Fang also developed a little bit of her own influence.
Mai Jie is one of them. The real estate business is naturally well-known, and he does things properly.
After looking at three houses in each place, Chen Jisheng was not very satisfied. Beacon Hill was considered an area where rich families lived, and houses were usually built along the mountains.
The quiet environment is good, and the houses are well built, but the flow of people is also sparse. The large courtyard in the last place is the cheapest among the properties.
It's a bit far away from Beacon Hill. After getting off the bus, in addition to the large public houses in front of you, you can also see the Lion Rock. This is the right place.
This courtyard used to be a factory, but it was later renovated and turned into a dormitory area for the factory. The living conditions are average, but there are many rooms.
It is not a problem to accommodate 80 or [-] people, and there is a ready-made stove, which is suitable for Lao Yang and others.
After arranging for Lao Yang and the others to stay and for Mai Jie to buy luggage, Chen Jisheng took the Gu family, Zhang Yiqing and Zhang Yiqing to Beacon Hill above.
The second child was also left in the courtyard. He needed to learn some skills from Lao Yang, and his time was very tight.
In the future, Lao Er and Lao Yang will be two different teams. Lao Yang will be the main force, and Lao Er will be responsible for cleaning up the mess.
Lao Yang's team is Chen Jisheng's subordinate who does the dirty work, and the second one does the dirty work for Lao Yang. For some people and things that are not convenient for Lao Yang to take action, the second one has to take action.
The house Dong Sheng gave him had obviously been tidied up. Mai Jie took the key and opened the door. There was no smell of desolation at all.
This house is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It consists of two two-story buildings. There is a covered bridge connecting each other on the second floor of the building.
Except for some flowers, there are no tall trees in the yard. The soles of the feet are paved with twenty-centimeter-square stones, which feel very solid when stepping on them.
In front of the small building is a courtyard of nearly [-] square meters, paved with stones, and the antique door has been improved, so you can enter the car directly.
After looking outside the yard, Chen Jisheng entered the house again. The main room was a large old-fashioned living room, with a central hall, a table, an Eight Immortals table, and a Taishi chair underneath.
On the east side is a large dining room with a mahogany round table and round stools. On the west side is the living room with an antique sofa in the style of an Arhat bed, which is also eye-catching.
"Jisheng, is this a gift?"
Gu Yizhou, the eldest sister who followed Chen Jisheng to see the house all the way, was a little stunned. Such a house must be worth a lot in Hong Kong City, so why don't you just give it away?
"Yes! Dong Sheng gave it to me, it's just a temporary residence. Tomorrow we will go see the English-style mansion."
As he spoke, Chen Jisheng took his eldest sister and brother around and continued to walk around the house. The second floor was a bedroom, one for the east and one for the east.
It has a large study room and reception room, and each bedroom has its own bathroom and bathroom.
In the middle of the second floor is a wide covered bridge with a width of about six meters. In addition to connecting the two buildings, it should also have the function of a terrace.
Walking on it, there is a very good draft, and there are thin bamboo curtains on both sides of the covered bridge.
On a summer night, lighting mosquito-repellent incense, putting down the bamboo curtains, setting up a rocking chair, and enjoying the wind while drinking tea is also an anecdote in life.
Follow the corridor bridge into the second small building. The second floor is also a bedroom, which is slightly smaller in size but more in number. There are five bedrooms in total.
Downstairs should be the small rooms where the servants live, and there is also a large kitchen that combines Chinese and Western styles, with pots, ovens, and refrigerators.
"Sister, let's live in one room and let Gu Ting choose one?"
This time, due to Chen Jisheng's provocation, Gu Ting, who had been a loyal dog all the way, did not dare to speak and only looked at the eldest sister.
There was pleading in his eyes, but he didn't dare to move his lips. The cowardly look made Chen Jisheng happy and made Gu Yizhou extremely angry.
"Get lost! Let's not harm Yiqing. She will sleep with me in the west room, you sleep in the east room, and let Gu Ting sleep in the back."
Gu Yizhou finally understood that the little heartless man was a bad guy and his younger brother Gu Ting was a coward, neither of which made anyone worry.
She also felt pity for Zhang Yiqing inexplicably. Seeing her staggering around today, she kept thinking of the white-haired girl and Xi'er.
And the little heartbreaker who walked in front of them sometimes turned into Nan Batian and sometimes Huang Shiren, he didn't look like a good person anyway.
Several people were talking, when Mai Jie appeared at the door, and with Chen Jisheng's permission, he opened his mouth slowly.
"Chen Sheng, there's a call from Huo Sheng, asking how many guests are you bringing over tonight?"
As Sister Fang's contact person, Mai Jie must have called her just now, which brought Huo Sheng's greetings. "Two, two siblings from the Gu family."
Watching Mai Jie return the call, Zhang Yiqing also walked up to him and said that he would transfer the servants from the Huo family's foreign residence. Chen Jisheng also nodded in agreement.
I came here for urgent work this time. After settling down Lao Yang and Lao Shi, he also wanted to go back immediately. Zhuzhao Wanli was waiting for him.
The newly chosen servant doesn't fit well, and it's a bit of a waste of resources.
While the Gu siblings were cleaning up the bedroom, Chen Jisheng also found a thickly pulped bamboo rocking chair on the second floor. This thing is also a must-have for enjoying the coolness in summer.
I carried the rocking chair to the covered bridge, lay down in a windy place, and began to relax leisurely.
The Gu family siblings have all accepted a lot of new things today, and they will definitely take the opportunity to be alone to digest them.
Especially the eldest sister, there is no chance that she will see Huang Wenyu tonight, and she is too busy fighting the lawsuit.
"You take it easy. When you get up, I'll lie down while you stand and answer the questions."
Unexpectedly, the leisure was not obtained, so the eldest sister directly opened the door and obediently gave up the bamboo rocking chair.
Chen Jisheng didn't stand either. He sat on the wide guardrail of the covered bridge. This was originally a place for people to sit and rest.
"Mrs. Chen, please tell me if you have anything to say..."
Chen Jisheng, who was sitting on the covered bridge, said joking words with a playful smile. The eldest sister Gu Yizhou didn't take it seriously and faced him with the same smile.
"Invite Chen Sheng's other outer room tonight..."
Thinking of Zhang Yiqing who was staggering on the street like Xi'er, Gu Yizhou sighed helplessly and said what he didn't want to say.
"Chen is too angry, but since Gu Ting is here, I'd better bear with it, otherwise the old guy will find out and have to shoot me, this little heartless guy."
The eldest sister, Gu Yizhou, can know about the matter. After all, she is controlled by him, but the old man of the Gu family cannot know about it now. If he knows about it, their marriage will be over.
"Hmph! I thought you were fearless! Are you sometimes afraid? If not, let Gu Ting live with Lao Yang and the others."
Gu Ting's status is similar to that of Chen Xiaobao at home. See what the eldest sister means. If you can't isolate yourself, just isolate Gu Ting!
"Forget it. Our marriage is a big deal. I'll just put up with it and it's over."
Different worldviews will inevitably lead to different ideas. Gu Ting didn't like himself at all, so he made some things that didn't work.
After returning, this kid will definitely sue Lao Gu. Once the complaint is in Lao Gu's hands, there will be no threat of a dozen children, and he will have to leave if he pulls the certificate.
"Then I've wronged you..."
Seeing the eldest sister's self-satisfied look, Chen Jisheng knew that she didn't mean what she said. It would be hard for anyone to accept this matter. The eldest sister had already behaved very well.
The two just sat there and started chatting. After a while, Gu Ting also joined in, and Chen Jisheng gave some explanations to the siblings.
Both the economy and the national system were involved, which gave the sisters a certain understanding of the port city, and it was from a fundamental level.
"Gu Ting, at tonight's banquet, you have to calm down and stop talking nonsense."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Jisheng ended the chat. After all, there was a big difference in rank and world view.
Although Gu Ting was favored by his father, in the eyes of the big guys in Hong Kong City, he was just an ordinary person in terms of rank, and the more he said, the more he would be wrong.
Sure enough, after Chen Jisheng stopped for a while, Sister Fang arrived, and Gu Yizhou's eyes were wide open. The status of the little heartbreaker is really high.
Everyone went out together. Sister Fang took the minibus like Chen Jisheng, and her car followed behind the minibus.
"Chen Sheng, Bao Sheng caught a dragon on the boat this morning. Such a big fish is rare. I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, which made tonight's dragon feast feast possible."
Seeing that Sister Fang said it formally, Gu Yizhou also cast a doubtful look at Chen Jisheng. This was the first time she had heard of Long Zhe.
"Sister, grouper is just a big grouper. The bright green onion fish fillet we ate in morning tea is made of grouper. Grouper is just big."
Chen Jisheng's introduction to Long Zhen was very concise, but it also made Sister Fang's eyes light up. She had only heard of Long Zhen.
"Chen Sheng is still very knowledgeable. I thought you came from inland and didn't know about such a big fish!"
Sister Fang's photo of the horse was not for Chen Jisheng, but for Miss Gu Yizhou to see.
From today's words, Sister Fang also saw that Miss Gu didn't pay enough attention to Chen Sheng, but she couldn't say these words in person, she could only make insinuations.
"The Dragon Boat Festival became famous in Sijiu City. It should have been Lafayette in the late Qing Dynasty. He liked such auspicious big fish."
Although I don't remember it very clearly, it doesn't stop Chen Jisheng from boasting nonsense. This matter is not sophisticated.
"Miss Gu, Mr. Chen is a perfect match for Miss Gu!"
Sister Fang had already said this, and Gu Yizhou also understood the meaning and responded with a big smile. This is what the little heartless man said, to pick it up.
"Sister Fang, what was said this morning, did Huo Sheng agree?"
This is an important matter. If Huo Sheng doesn't agree, then he will have to be the lobbyist tonight. This matter affects thousands of households, so he can talk to Huo Sheng.
"You men! Which one is not full of thought, but Chen Sheng has a target. As soon as I say tennis star, Huo Sheng immediately agrees.
He also praised Chen Sheng for his ingenuity and uniqueness! "
Sister Fang said, and gave Gu Yizhou a look of sympathy. The scene was spot on.
