Chapter 755: Glory Coexists
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
Seeing the appearance of the little grandson, the two old men excitedly stepped forward and hugged the big guy in front of them.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
In the eyes of the elderly, being able to reunite as a family is naturally the happiest thing in the world.
"Oh, Mom and Dad, why did you guys get out?"
At this time, Sun Ze and Kim Sun-ah handed over Jimmy to the maid who was standing and waiting, and hurriedly walked over.
"What, can't you come out and breathe?"
Seeing his son's face, Sun Shaoye's grandfather, this stubborn old French man, instantly lost his previous smiling face.
"Okay...... Absolutely......"
When Sun Ze faced his old father, he just licked his smiling face and didn't debate anything.
"Let's go, lunch is ready, just wait for you to come back!"
After speaking, the two old men turned around and prepared to walk back, Sun Shaoye stepped forward quickly, and together with his sister Sun Shaoqing, they supported the two old men on the left and right.
Unlike other castles, the house where the D.B family has lived for generations can no longer be called just a castle. It would be more accurate to call it a palace.
However, the palace was originally originally a defensive castle that was gradually expanded.
This palace, formerly known as Scheer Castle, was finally renamed the Palace of Glory by Sun Shaoye's great-grandfather during World War II with the passage of time.
As a classicist style building, the glory palace divides the façade into three sections: vertical and horizontal, the building is symmetrical, and the shape outline is neat, solemn and majestic. Like the Palace of Versailles, it is known as a representative of rational beauty. The interior is mainly Baroque, with a few halls in the Rococo style.
To enter the palace, you must first cross the front gate of a defensive castle with a minaret and a large number of stones.
Passing under the arched gates of the castle, you can see a large garden in front of the main palace with a unique "French style", with unique trees and flowers. The gardens around the complex are also world-famous. It has a very different style from classical Chinese and royal gardens. It is entirely artificially crafted, with great attention to symmetry and geometry.
The 586-metre-long Palace of Glory is composed entirely of French gardens, a magnificent castle, a stately castle and a hall of mirrors, and the interior baroque furnishings and decorations of the palace and castle are the jewels of the world's art palaces.
More than 500 large and small halls in the palace are located and richly decorated; The multicolored marble walls are dazzling; Giant crystals poured down like a waterfall; The interior walls and the dome of the palace are covered with Western-style oil paintings that seem to tell the great military exploits of the kings of the past, and the mythological stories in the paintings are told vividly.
To the west of the palace is a neatly repaired French-style park, which stretches for 3 kilometers, and the scenery in the garden is beautiful, with flowers, grass, water and ponds, which is worthy of being called "the last art of France".
In the eyes of outsiders, it is naturally gratifying to be able to see such a magnificent and great palace in this snowy winter. But for Sun Shaoye, who grew up here and knew almost every corner of the Palace of Glory, he now wants to sit by the fireplace in the main hall with his grandparents, eating delicious croissants and drinking hot tea.
Walking through the long road, Sun Shaoye felt the warmth emanating from the inside out the moment he stepped into the interior of the Glory Palace.
"Sir, you're back."
"Lunch is ready, please give us a piece of clothing ......"
The servants who were waiting at the door also stepped forward in a measured manner, took off their clothes, and prepared to take them to the side room to remove the wet stains left by the snowflakes.
"Okay, let's go eat first, and then go to rest after lunch."
The old man spoke, and everyone naturally had to comply, so the group took off their heavy coats and walked quickly towards the restaurant.
If the exterior of the Palace of Glory gives a sense of grandeur, then its interior furnishings and decoration are even more artistic, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious and opulent.
More than 500 halls and halls are splendid and extravagant: the interior walls are dominated by carvings, huge paintings and tapestries, and furnishings of the 17th and 18th centuries with superb shapes and exquisite craftsmanship.
Sometimes it appears on the wall along with weapons and armor. In addition to decorating the interior with portraits, the interior is also decorated with animal images such as lions, eagles, and unicorns. Some of them are also cast into stair railings made of metal, and some metal fittings are also gilded with marble in various colors, which looks very brilliant.
In addition to the semi-circular arches like the Hall of Mirrors, the ceiling also has a flat and hemispherical dome, and the ceiling has both paintings and reliefs. The palace is full of precious works of art from all over the world, which is a bit overwhelming.
Walking through a long corridor made of carved patterns, the group finally arrived at a warm and cozy dining room.
The long table, which used to be too close to sitting up, is now becoming more and more full due to the increase in the number of people. But if you want to really sit full, I'm afraid you have to have Sun Shaoye's generation and make unremitting efforts to reproduce future generations.
After sitting down, the servants brought food such as roast duck breast, braised potatoes, onion soup, foie gras, and croissants one by one.
Smelling the rich aroma, Sun Shaoye already had a stomach that was about to send out a precursor of protest, which would make a louder sound.
"Let's eat, I've been hungry for a long time after making a plane all the way......"
Sun Shaoye's grandfather arrived at a small glass of red wine, and the two of them tasted it slowly with his grandmother. Seeing the elegant dining demeanor of the children and grandchildren even though they were hungry, the smile on the corner of the mouth became even brighter.
The hot onion soup flowed into his stomach, and Sun Shaoye's stomach, which had been harsh for half a year, seemed to come to life in an instant. Although he eats well in Korea, compared to the tastes he has cultivated since childhood, the spicy and salty Korean food is not very suitable for him.
After lunch, even after sleeping on the plane, the group was driven back to the bedroom by the two old men to rest.
Back in the richly decorated bedroom, Sun Shaoye didn't even change his clothes, reported to his grandfather and girlfriend, and lay down on this big bed with a history of hundreds of years, and fell asleep deeply.
While Sun Shaoye was resting, his eldest brother Sun Shaozheng also flew back from distant California.
With the return of the group, this ancient palace seems to have regained its former vitality. (To be continued.) )
