Chapter 366, no matter how pleasing it is
On Saturday, sending off the Deng family, Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin moved into the courtyard, the house has three entrances, the first into the inverted Mei Lan let the nanny's family live, the nanny is Xiao Hong's brother and sister-in-law, Hunan, originally worked in a Hunan restaurant in Beijing, Mei Lan knew and invited over, let the husband and wife be responsible for the family's meals and look at the first floor of the door.
Yu lived in the main house of the first entrance, Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin lived in the main house of the second entrance, and the third Mei Lan was changed to a back garden, saying that it was a garden, it might be more appropriate to call it a vegetable garden, because there are more vegetables than flowers planted inside, mainly because the vegetables outside are too unsafe.
There is also a small pond in the middle of the garden, where a little koi and water lilies are raised, and a small two-story building is built on the north wall of the garden, with four garages downstairs and four rooms upstairs, where the four of them live.
Early on Sunday morning, Mei Lan explained that Xiao Shan prepared two tables of guest meals that were not too spicy, and Cai Ganlin personally went to Cai's house to pick up the people, and the people from the Cai family came over at half past ten, because Cai Ganlin said in advance that it was a housewarming, and everyone brought a gift.
The old lady sent a white jade Guanyin statue, Cai Qinghe sent a jade cabbage, Zhao Jian sent a calligraphy and painting, Cai Qingmao sent a pair of Jingdezhen vases more than one and a half people high, although it is not an antique, but it is also a master's work, Cai Xiang also sent a set of Jingdezhen high-end blue and white tableware and tea sets, Fang Zhe sent an ancient sword, saying that it was bought at the auction, just the town house.
"Wow, Mei Lan, you are still comfortable, this house is so big, these furniture are all Ming and Qing Dynasty styles, or Huanghuali, you are really a local tyrant." Cai Yan sat on the high-backed chair in the hall and touched the armrest on the back of the chair and sighed.
"It's not a serious sea yellow, the sea yellow is no longer there, this is the more yellow, and it's not very expensive." Mei Lan explained with a smile.
"What do you mean it's not very expensive? It's better than it, it's really down, Brother Jian, you see that you have been busy for more than ten years, and you are not as good as a little girl in Meilan, when will you build a house like this to live in. Cai Yan hurt Zhao Jian.
"It's not difficult for Brother Jian to get a house like this, and Brother Jian still has this net worth." Mei Lan smiled, because she saw that Ye Nan's face was a little uncomfortable.
Before Mei Lan entered the door, Zhao Jian was the richest person in the entire Zhao family, the Ye family and the Cai family, Ye Nan was not very old and became a department-level cadre, and these two wives and husbands were really rich for a few years.
But now, Mei Lan has easily earned tens of billions in only three years, Cai Ganlin has only been in office for more than two years, and he is already at the right level, these two husbands and wives are rich and a few grades higher than the two of them, at this time, Ye Nan couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion about both Yu and He Shengliang.
In fact, even if Ye Qiao marries Cai Ganlin, Cai Ganlin will not have today's scenery, and the life of the two is definitely not as good as her and Zhao Jian, but who knows that Ye Qiao tossed and tossed Cai Ganlin and changed his mind, I don't know where Cai Ganlin met Mei Lan, and let him pick up such a big bargain.
Therefore, even if there is no Ye Qiao, Ye Nan will not have a good impression of Mei Lan.
But no matter how good she looked, Ye Nan had to come to this party with her, and in comparison, she was even more reluctant to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
"I don't like these old antiques, by the way, I forgot to ask when it comes to this, Xiao Er, you said that you are a good returnee from the United States, and you don't live in a good villa but you want to live in a courtyard, and your wedding vows that day are also, you don't need to put ready-made lines, just drag a few ancient poems, sour or not?" Zhao Jian pursed his lips.
"The second brother likes traditional culture, who stipulates that international students can't like traditional culture? The two are not at all at odds with each other. Shi Jingfeng said with a smile on the side.
"You don't look elsewhere, what are you doing here to fight over these useless things." Li Yunru said.
"Mei Lan, whose calligraphy and painting are you hanging on the wall?" Shi Jingfeng asked.
"I don't know, it's all Gan Lin."
In fact, Mei Lan really didn't worry about these things.
"Second brother, where did you buy it? Take me to pick a few when you want. ”
"What's wrong? Do you like it? Song An, I don't think I've heard of it. Cai Xiang asked.
"I haven't heard of it either, but this person's skills are not weak, this has to be packaged well, it is completely at the level of a master." Shi Jingfeng said.
"Let's go to the back, there's a vegetable garden in the back." Fang Zhe saw that the old lady was not interested in these calligraphy, paintings, antiques or anything, so he led everyone back.
"Mei Lan, is this where you live?" Cai Qinghe asked.
The second hall was not a Taishi chair, but a fabric sofa, which was obviously intended to be a place for himself to rest.
"Yes, I think watching TV or this sofa is more comfortable, you can lie down and sit." Merlin nodded.
"Oh my God, you actually sleep in such an ancient bed?" Cai Xiang entered the first room in the east, and this room was equipped with a stepping bed, so Cai Xiang was amazed when he saw it.
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of bed, I've only seen it on TV before, but I didn't expect you two to like these old antiques." Li Yunru also stepped forward and touched the bed.
"Grandma, what bed did you sleep in your hometown when you were a girl?" Cai Xiang asked.
"When we were young, wherever there was a bed, we all slept on the kang." The old lady also reached out and touched it, these furniture were shiny and shiny, and they were good things at first glance, and the old lady also felt it and touched it curiously.
"Grandma, there's a kang in here too." Cai Ganlin helped the old lady into the room inside.
Under the south wall of the inner room is a large long kang, the head and tail of the kang are bookshelves, and in the middle are two rosewood kang tables, on which a laptop is placed.
Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin used this kang as a desk, of course, if they were tired from reading books and computers, they could also lie down and rest at any time.
"Are all the things on the Bogu shelves antiques?" Cai Qinghe asked.
"It's not." Merlin smiled.
"By the way, Gan Lin, what about the vase you bought at the Hong Kong auction? Can I see what a vase of 100 million looks like? Cai Xiang asked.
"Eldest sister, how can those things be placed here, of course, they are placed in the bank safe." Cai Ganlin refused.
In fact, the secret of the pair of vases Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin have not been able to take a look, when they were in the Summer Palace before, there were always people at home, and the things had already been packed under Mei Lan's bed, and now they just moved here, Mei Lan hasn't taken care of it.
"When you get it back, remember to call me to take a look." Cai Xiang remembered it.
"You kid, you can't understand it if you really put it in front of you, so you better take your scalpel honestly." Li Yunru patted her daughter's back.
"That's true, but I won't watch it, my husband will watch it." Cai Yan smiled and grabbed Shi Jingfeng's arm.
"I don't know much about this, I can still say a thing or two in calligraphy and painting, but not porcelain." Shi Jingfeng smiled modestly.
"Alright, let's go and have a look." Fang Zhe led everyone out of the door, walked along the verandah to a moon gate next to it, and after entering, it was also a piece of red cabbage green.
"I said Mei Lan, why are you like grandma, what vegetables do you have to grow in a good garden? Corny, right? Cai Yan looked at the neat vegetable patches in the backyard and smiled.
"Hey, we poor people really can't understand the idea of this rich man, do you know how much your vegetable plot is worth?" Zhao Jian also sighed.
"It doesn't matter how much it's worth, it's idle, it's idle, what's wrong with growing some vegetables?" Cai Qingmao glanced at him.
Probably afraid that this would hurt the old lady, Mei Lan didn't dare to think that he was speaking for herself.
"That's right, grandma, why don't you move here, now you have something to do, and you don't have to complain every day that you can't see Xiao Er's shadow, anyway, Xiao Er has more rooms here." Zhao Jian grinned and said.
"What are these words? You are quite generous to others, and if you have the ability, you can buy a house like this yourself and invite your grandmother to live in. Cai Qinghe glared at his son.
It always feels a little awkward to hear this, Mei Lan glanced at Cai Ganlin, and Cai Ganlin spoke, "We are just trying to invite grandma to come and live for a while, but this has not been straightened out just now." ”
"Yes, Mom, it's rare that Gan Lin and Mei Lan have this piece of filial piety, you can move here for a few days and try it, it just so happens that Mei Lan is also at home on vacation now, and I can talk to you, this is also close to where Gan Lin works, and he can come back at noon to have a meal and take a nap by the way." Cai Qingruo said.
Mei Lan was full of reluctance when she heard this, but Cai Ganlin spoke first, and she couldn't help but give Cai Ganlin face, and she knew that the old lady might not be willing to come over, so she didn't speak.
Sure enough, as soon as Cai Qingruo finished speaking, the old lady glanced at him and said with interest: "When will you have this piece of filial piety." ”
Fang Zhe heard this and said with a smile: "Mom, if you want, when Xiaojian's villa is finished, we will move over together." ”
"Forget it, I'm not going anywhere, if you think it's good outside, you all move out, I can live alone."
Mei Lan can see that Cai Qingruo and Fang Zhe belong to the kind of people who don't please no matter what they say or do in front of the old lady.
"Look at what my mother said, I said it, where there is a mother, home is there, where my mother is, where my brother and I are." Cai Qingmao spoke.
"It's time for everyone to be hot after walking for half a day, let's go to the front and eat some cold powder, it is made by sister-in-law Xiao with cactus grass to clear heat and detoxify." Merlin made a round.
"This kid, it's hard for you to be so young, you are really thoughtful in talking and doing things, much better than our family." Li Yunru smiled and praised Mei Lan, and then glanced at Fang Zhe.
Of course, she could see that Mei Lan was playing a round for Fang Zhe. R1152
