Chapter 11 Visit

What is it like to live in the picturesque Yanyu Jiangnan?

There are not only green shade surrounding, but also endless reeds, scales and feathers, blue sky and clear water, according to the popular concept of healthy life, this whole is a natural oxygen.

To be able to get a piece of land in this wetland nature reserve to develop villas, the developer's energy should not be underestimated.

Of course, being able to get one set as the Xiao family's mansion in this "community" with only sixteen sets of yards has to make people sigh:

Row noodles.

Many people will think that the difference between a family of tens of billions and assets of more than 100 million does not sound too big, anyway, it is a height that ordinary people cannot reach in a lifetime.

But in reality, the difference between the two is a little more pronounced than the difference between the average person and a billionaire.

A richest man once said that the real luxuries are private jets, yachts, and high-end hotels.

At least for Chao Gai's previous family conditions, it was easy to buy a villa, but this kind of villa courtyard was not to be considered.

The car could only be driven from the side door to the big garage, and Chao Gai, Xiao Chuling, and Secretary Tong also got off at the main entrance with a little leisure.

Old Man Xiao actually likes these children very much, but because of the complicated situation of the Xiao family, he can't show it too much.

The simplest example, if Old Man Xiao behaves too actively and closely, the other second- and third-generation members below can't guarantee that they won't doubt whether Xiao Chuling will benefit from it when they divide the inheritance.

After all, anyone can say nice things, but when it comes to billions of inheritances, people's hearts can be separated by their bellies.

Probably this is also some small troubles of the wealthy family.

For the sake of core interests, he had to tie everyone together, but he was powerless to change the suspicion and calculation among the descendants of his uncles and brothers.

If the relationship between the three old men Xiao in the first generation who created the foundation is intimate, there will be more disagreements and disputes in the second generation.

When it comes to Xiao Chuling's three generations of members of their generation, they are likely to be strange nodding friends who compare with each other.

It's because I don't want the old man to be anxious, at least to maintain the apparent harmony of the big family, and none of the thirty-six children is surnamed Xiao.

This is also to show that he is not raising children to share the inheritance.

It is in this situation that every time she goes home, she takes turns to bring one or two children back and let Old Man Xiao hug his great-grandson, which has become a tacit thing for everyone in the Xiao family.

The main gate of the Xiao family is two "ordinary" purple bronze doors of rivers and mountains, which are painted with reliefs of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, about five meters high and about ten meters wide.

On both sides of the door is a pair of Chinese table bronze lions, and the word "Xiao Fu" is hung high on the eaves of the corridor, which is very ancient.

The three steps to enter the house are also exquisite, although Chao Gai does not understand much, but he can always recognize the tone of Sumeru.

Walking into the door, there is a ceiling marble inner shadow wall, which is also painted with a pair of ink landscape paintings, implying the difference between inside and outside, peace and evil spirits.

After turning the inner shadow wall, there is a horizontal corridor on both sides, through the hollow carved wooden wall, you can get a glimpse of the foreground in the courtyard, the sunset obliquely shines in, the light and shadow are layered on top of each other, and the meaning is far-reaching.

After turning from the corridor on the right, what appears in front of you is a flat "small" lawn, behind which is a row of rockeries five or six meters high, and the white mist surrounds the clear spring water to form a small waterfall that falls naturally.

The foreground of the entire courtyard is staggered and elegant, giving people a sense of emptiness and openness with stratus clouds, and it really does not feel like being in a courtyard mansion.

Standing here and looking into the distance, you can also see the cornices and corners hidden in the green trees and jungles, and the square pavilions on all sides, and the whole garden reveals a very strong Soviet-style style.

After the foreground garden, there is a wall in the center, which is the real residence of the core members of the Xiao family.

The two-step staircase is "unpretentious", and the gate is also a circle smaller than the entrance.

However, the yellow-brown auspicious cloud pattern of the copper gate, the blue enamel door handrail, and the small plaque with the book "Cheng Huai Xiu" are quite improvised.

After pushing the door in, there was still a courtyard in the courtyard, but this time the housekeeper took them and directly pushed open the two-person high Xiangyun Ruyi door and entered the house.

After arriving at the foyer, the overall style has changed considerably.

If the outside is a pure Chinese garden, the furnishings inside are closer to the Western decoration style.

The outdoor housekeeper stopped when he arrived here, and the indoor aunt was already waiting at the entrance.

"Miss, the doctor is treating the old lady in the room."

Although Xiao Chuling is not the oldest among the three generations of descendants of the Xiao family, because Xiao Guohua is the eldest son of the ancestral hall, naturally this "eldest lady" is none other than Xiao Chuling.

It is estimated that in this era, there are some big families and very traditional families who still pay attention to these things.

The entire housekeeping team is an old man who has worked in the Xiao family for nearly twenty years, so he will definitely not talk too much.

For example, although this sentence just now seems to be just a simple statement, it actually means that the eldest lady should decide whether to wait in the living room for a while, or go directly to the inner room to visit the old lady.

The advantage of speaking in this way is that it avoids giving two options directly, as if you are forcing the eldest lady to answer.

probably figured out that the twists and turns in this Chao Gai were secretly speechless, and even with the emotion of visiting the mansion before, a thousand words turned into a sentence ", awesome".

Xiao Chuling was about to answer directly, but at this time, he glanced at Chao Gai, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Chao Gai also understood her concerns, smiled and took the initiative to speak:

"You can take your leisure time to see grandpa, I'll sit here and wait for you to come out."

As the eldest daughter of Huanghua who has "not left the cabinet", this is still Xiao Chuling's own home, so it stands to reason that she should take the child directly to see her grandfather.

But Chao Gai is a "guest" who comes to the door for the first time, but it is not suitable to go directly like this, so he can only wait for the host's family to come here to receive him.

Xiao Xiao was always worried that these "rules" would make Chao Gai feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, so he couldn't make up his mind, and at this time Chao Gai took the initiative to speak, and she nodded:

"Let the little boy accompany you, she is very familiar with this place, you can ask her if you need anything."

Chao Gai made an OK gesture, carefully put away the gifts he was carrying, and sat down on the sofa without notice, looking at the surrounding decorations on the ground.

"Wow, Brother Chao, aren't you nervous at all?"

Secretary Tong's personality is really more jumpy, looking at the comfortable Chao Gai and admiring from the bottom of his heart:

"When I came here for the first time with Mr. Xiao three years ago, I was a little scared!"

And when I went to Chuhao Group for the first time to see thirty-six babies, I was not scared, I was still so handsome, what kind of fairy is this!
