Ninety-one An Unexpected Encounter
Chenglu is not an ordinary old villa, it can be said to have a great history. It is the villa of Sheng Enyi, general manager of China's first iron and steel conglomerate, Hanyeping Company, which is not the key, the key is that this villa is the former president of the dynasty Chiang in Hangzhou.
At No. 189 Nanshan Road, near the lake of Hanghu Lake, there is a chic milky yellow villa, which is Chenglu. Chenglu was built in the early years of the Republic of China, was originally the private residence of Sheng Enyi, the fourth son of Sheng Xuanhuai, a giant businessman in the late Qing Dynasty, and was nationalized during the Republic of China, and later became the residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling and his wife to Hangzhou.
In December 1927, the first stop of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling's "travel marriage" was Chenglu in West Lake; At the beginning of 1937, Chiang Kai-shek also came here to recuperate after suffering a back injury due to the "Xi'an Incident"; In the spring of 1937, Chiang Ching-kuo returned from the Soviet Union, and after arriving in Hangzhou from Shanghai, he also went to Chenglu to meet his father; In March 1937, Zhou Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek held formal negotiations on the second KMT-CCP cooperation here; Chiang Kai-shek spent the last night after leaving the mainland in Chenglu, so it is of great historical significance.
After liberation, it was originally used as a recuperation room for the lakeside kindergarten next door, and now it is an office for a certain unit, and in a few years the first floor will become a café, and the second floor will be an activity room for the elderly.
The main building of Chenglu has three floors, three rooms on the left and right, and a construction area of 250 square meters. There are many living rooms in the building, living room, dining room, wing room, etc., and all kinds of facilities are readily available. Originally, cars could reach the porch at the inner door of the villa. Climb the stairs, and the left and right stairs are made of white marble. The staircase halfway platform is cast with a copper water spray deer and a fish pond. The corridor on the second floor runs north and south. Stepping into the large balcony at the south end, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the West Lake landscape.
Such a comfortable mansion is really good for the elderly to care for, after Su Zhen and Liu Jun came to see it together, Liu Jun was also full of praise, and decided that this was the place.
After that, it's a matter of negotiating the price.
"How much?" Su Zhen's eyes widened, and the person sent by the Cultural Protection Bureau on the other side was taken aback, thinking that the price offered was too high.
So what is the price they offer? 20 million, how much? No, it's not much, it can even be said that it's too cheap, so Su Zhen will be so surprised.
"20 million, if you think it's expensive, we can still negotiate," the other party said.
"No, it's not expensive, no need to discuss, I'll write you a check now" Su Zhen hurriedly said, this is Chenglu, this is Chenglu, this number will be multiplied by ten in 10 years, I am afraid that it may not be able to buy.
So once both sides thought it would be a more time-consuming negotiation, it ended at an astonishing speed, but because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so the formalities have to be handled after the year, and after buying, it will have to go through some repairs and decorations, so it will definitely not be able to live in it for a while, and it is not in a hurry.
Soon it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after Su Zhen and Liu Jun announced the purchase of Chenglu at the dinner table, everyone was boiling, as a native of Laohang City, the family knew that Chenglu was in the Dao Dao, but they didn't expect it to become their own, and they were really surprised.
My grandfather was also very surprised, but then joked: "I didn't expect that when I was old, I could still live the addiction of living in the presidential palace."
On the fourth day of the new year, the relatives on his mother's side were almost finished worshipping the New Year, Su Zhen was going to go to his grandparents to have a look, so he asked Wang Ruolan to drive him over, the car was entrusted to Liu Jun's relationship, and the smuggled car bought from the customs was investigated and punished, and Su Zhen picked a brand new Mercedes-Benz from it.
At the same time, he also brought two leggings to the second elder, and the second elder was extremely happy to see Su Zhen's arrival, after all, in their hearts, this grandson has always been the most painful one for them, Su Zhen accompanied the second elder to have a lunch, and when he was about to leave, the second elder reluctantly sent Su Zhen downstairs.
As a result, when the three of them went downstairs, a Honda Accord slowly drove over in the distance, and Su Zhen was stunned when he saw the people coming down from the car.
It was no one else who got out of the car, officially Su Zhen's father, Su Yucheng, and the woman behind him was naturally the one who caused Su Zhen's family to break up, but what caught Su Zhen's attention the most was that she was still holding a child in her hand, a pink little girl. Is this his "sister", she should be two years old, Su Zhen thought.
Su Yucheng also saw Su Zhen and was stunned.
"Ah Cheng, what's wrong?" The woman saw Su Yucheng stunned and asked, then followed Su Yucheng's eyes and saw Su Zhen, she naturally knew Su Zhen, she used to look down at school and didn't look up, her face couldn't help but flash a trace of embarrassment, and the little Lori in her arms looked at Su Zhen curiously.
After a while, Su Yuchen took the lead to break the embarrassment, "It turned out that Xiao Zhen came, I haven't seen it for two years, it's already so high, come here and this is the New Year's money for you" said as he fumbled in his pocket and took out his wallet, took out a stack of 100 yuan bills, and wanted to hand it to Su Zhen.
With a hint of disdainful ridicule, Su Zhen flashed lightly, paced past the two without looking back, and walked towards his car. Wang Ruolan had already parked the car downstairs and waited for a long time, and when she saw Su Zhen coming, she quickly opened the car door and welcomed Su Zhen into the car.
Su Yucheng watched Su Zhen get into a Mercedes-Benz, and then looked at his Accord and the money in his hand, extremely embarrassed, he has been in the stone market in the north for the past two years, and he doesn't know anything about the situation of Su Zhen and Liu Ru, only the people of the Liu family know the situation of the two of them, but Su Yucheng is obviously impossible to ask, it's not bad if he doesn't take a stick to drive himself out, Su Yucheng naturally won't be bored.
But now it seems that after they left, they had a better life, looking at the attitude of the woman, it is obviously a person like a driver, and Mercedes-Benz is still an authentic luxury car in China in this era, although Su Yucheng has made a lot of money by opening a factory in the past two years, but if he wants to buy an imported car like Mercedes-Benz, he is still unable to do it, and he has not been able to afford to hire a private driver, which makes Su Yucheng's heart quite uncomfortable.
After the two old men sent Su Zhen away, they didn't have a good face for Su Yucheng and the women around him, especially when the old man saw Su Yucheng, he snorted angrily, and went upstairs by himself, letting Su Yucheng go is not to stay, for a long time, he still stubbornly took his wife and children upstairs, and although the woman was a little annoyed by Su Zhen's attitude, she also knew that since the other party could sit up and run, it was not something she could provoke.
On the way, Wang Ruolan looked at the silent Su Zhen from the rearview mirror, and could obviously feel that Su Zhen at this time was definitely a powder keg that exploded at one point, and he didn't dare to say much, and drove his car quietly.
Su Zhen had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, he didn't expect to meet his father in this situation, he still didn't know whether Lu Dao should hate his father or himself, if it wasn't for the reason for his rebirth, maybe the family would be the same as in the previous life, although not rich, but warm and peaceful.
