[Ask for subscription, ask for recommendation!] 】
The gatekeeper of Xiao Mo's house was naturally selected by Xiao Mo himself. For Xiao Mo and the Wang family, the three gatekeepers are naturally very familiar. Seeing a few people coming, the gatekeeper greeted him respectfully from afar.
Xiao Mo and the three of them walked into the mansion and bypassed the photo wall. Wang Ziyao and Wang Zhiming saw a very surprising and strange scene.
The layout style of the front yard of Xiao Mo's mansion was very different from any of the two Wang Ziyao sisters and brothers had seen before. In the middle of the front yard of Nuoda, there is a rather large pool, although the pool is huge, it is only made of ordinary bluestone.
It's just strange that there is a strange-looking sculpture in the middle of the pool, and around the pool, there are also some sculptures that resemble toads, and these toads all open their mouths wide and face the statue in the middle, as if they want to spit out something.
Xiao Mo saw that Wang Ziyao was puzzled, so he opened his mouth and slowly explained to Wang Ziyao: "Originally, I was going to make a fountain, which is pleasing to the eye and can also play a role in relieving the heat. It's just that I really didn't understand the problem of the difference between high and low water pressure for a while, so these sculptures can only be put first. ”
Wang Ziyao listened for a while, but she didn't understand what Xiao Mo said at all, but at this time, Miss Wang said coldly to Xiao Mo: "Miss Ben knows!" You don't need to tell me! ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ziyao turned her head to look away. It's not embarrassing to make Xiao Mo.
Then Wang Ziyao found that the front yard of this mansion was full of small trees with similar prunings, and it was strange that these small trees were planted in tile pots one by one.
Although Wang Ziyao was very curious to know what she was doing this for, at this time, Wang Ziyao restrained her curiosity and did not ask Xiao Mo.
Of course, Xiao Mo himself would not be stupid to explain that this thing is called a potted plant, and it is a landscape tree. The experience has proved that Xiao Mo is purely uncomfortable when he does this.
When a few people walked to the living room of the middle courtyard. The setting here is very different. The setting is not traditional at all, with two rows of couches next to the coffee table. Instead, a nanmu couch was placed in the middle of the living room, and on each side were some strangely shaped chairs. The living room is surrounded by a huge screen, on which are painted with light and elegant landscape pictures. The whole thing is very eye-catching.
Wang Zhiming was already speechless in shock at this moment, Wang Zhiming had never thought of such a living room. Such an arrangement can be described as too whimsical, to discuss things in such a light and elegant environment. It's much more comfortable to look at.
This parlor is a simplified version of Xiao Molong's modern parlor. The craftsmen made it entirely by hand according to Xiao Mo's design. So the effect is much better than in later generations.
On the long couch, Xiao Mo prepared and put some fine porcelain tea sets to entertain the guests.
Xiao Mo's old profession was to deal with antiques, and he knew everything about how to make white porcelain and even the blue and white porcelain that only appeared hundreds of years later. In the past, when I was poor, I didn't think about these problems at all. Now Xiao Mo's identity and status are completely different from before, so he naturally thinks about it more.
When several people arrived in the inner courtyard, the scene was different from before. This inner courtyard is a place where families live, and outsiders are not allowed to enter this area at normal times. As a result, Xiao Mo carried out a major renovation according to the small Western courtyard building, and some rooms even adopted the design of large round beds or hammocks.
Xiao Mo also deliberately upgraded the toilets in the inner courtyard. The problem of earthen toilets has always been unbearable for Xiao Mo. Although Xiao Mo's renovation is not as advanced as the automatic flushing of the flush toilet, it is no longer the dirty earthen toilet with the original environment.
As long as the toilet in the inner courtyard is next to the bucket of well water, and you can flush it manually after going to the toilet, it will naturally have the effect of flushing the toilet.
When Xiao Mo talked about the well water, Wang Ziyao also noticed. On top of the wells in the inner courtyard, a strange device was placed. These devices look a bit like miniature versions of bamboo, but they are definitely not bamboos. These devices are several in one, and they are simply strung together with ropes, which makes it extremely easy to draw water.
This is also what Xiao Mo thought of in passing when he was making a pulley, anyway, Xiao Mo had to use this pulley set, so he simply installed it on his own well. In this way, it can also save trouble and effort.
In the end, Wang Ziyao found that the place where the maidservant girl lived in the backyard also had some strange transformations, and a bunk bed that Wang Ziyao had never seen appeared in the room. The bed was actually divided into bunk beds, and it could sleep people up and down, and it was up and down by a small wooden staircase. And so it goes. In the same room, because there are fewer beds, the free space of the whole room is much larger at once.
Wang Ziyao didn't go to the kitchen and didn't know if there were any changes in the kitchen. But along the way, Wang Ziyao felt that many things in this mansion were very peculiar and practical, and they were particularly convenient.
If she were given a choice, she might prefer to live in such a place rather than a palace.
This abrupt idea also surprised Wang Ziyao.
It's just that when Wang Ziyao saw Xiao Mo's slightly smug expression, she couldn't help but snort slightly angrily. After saying a word, he threw off his sleeves and left directly.
Miss Wang's behavior also made Xiao Mo and Wang Zhiming confused.
Xiao Mo is still very satisfied with his mansion. Regardless of the rest, this floor space is enough for Xiao Mo to use. The children in the restaurant have all moved over, and it is just a small meaning for this mansion.
On the surface, there may seem to be a lot of changes to the entire mansion, but in fact, most of them follow the principle of simplicity and practicality. Xiao Mo himself mainly wants to live a more comfortable and convenient life. Xiao Moke didn't have any idea of luxury.
In Xiao Mo's mansion, many of the renovations are actually some ingenuity, and they don't need to cost much money or money. Like the fountain in the front yard, it is made of the most ordinary bluestone. The toilet renovation in the inner courtyard is only a very ordinary bamboo pipe.
Generally speaking, Xiao Mo is still very satisfied with the comprehensive renovation of his mansion, so that modernization must not be said. But it's a bit of a modernization. (To be continued.) )
