Chapter 121: Adequate Preparation
The second more
The main house in the east courtyard was not a studio for Jian Dong'er before, but an existence like a flower hall.
When Jian Donger is not at home at Chery, a place to relax and entertain. Invite two or three friends, sit there to drink tea and watch the scenery is their favorite thing to do on weekdays.
Sometimes Chery also feasts here, otherwise it wouldn't have been like this.
When she first designed it, Jian Dong'er also had this idea. As for the issue of keeping warm, Chery is a enjoyer, and he dares to open the window on the north wall, and he has made all preparations.
The design which I asked a foreigner to do here. Water pipes are placed all over the house, and hot water is boiled in winter, and cold water is used in summer, and their houses are all warm in winter and cool in summer.
Later, Jian Dong'er was tired of playing and didn't want to raise children for others, so she happened to see those masterpieces, so she finally developed a serious hobby. It was also converted into a studio.
"Rong An embarrassed Mrs. Rong An was embarrassed to give Jian Dong'er a blessing, and at this time, anyone could see that the couple lived a very peaceful life. And being sent here is a very unsightly existence.
"The princess is really, the slave doesn't know how happy she is! The princess is here, and you have friends in the future, so this place can really come in handy! Jian Dong'er sighed lightly.
She has always refused to adopt a child, and she told Chery that she does not like children because she has never had a childhood, so she wants Chery to pamper her like a child.
Chery has indeed done it over the years, she lives like a princess in Qifu. But why did she start learning to draw, she really didn't know what to play anymore.
Finally, Xianfengsai gave her a daughter, and even at the beginning, she still thought, why not Sissy? Of course, at that moment, she finally understood that she still wanted to be a little angry at home. Even if this is a princess, but there is finally a third person in the family, even if it is to make her happy, she finally has something to do.
Like a child, Jian Dong'er pulled Rong An back to the front and pulled her into the house.
When he entered, Rong An opened his mouth wide, and from the front, these were the three main rooms of the Eight Classics, and there was only the eaves and steps that proved the grade from his own house in the palace. But when he opened the door, Rong An knew that this place was not the same as his own house.
Entering the door is a row of windows, and what catches her eye is the large pond in the back garden, the rockery, and the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"It's so beautiful!" Even though Rong An is a princess, she really didn't expect that she could move the scenery into the house.
"Yes, knowing that you are coming, the minion specially modified this place, I believe you will like it." Jian Dong'er's face was happy, this was not proud, but full of happiness.
There are bonsai on both sides of the hall, and by the window are two double soft sofas, and a beautiful marble coffee table in the middle.
It can be seen that this is a place where two or three friends gather, rather than a traditional hall with a table of eight immortals and the like. In addition, the traditional hall is also dim, but because of the large windows, the hall looks bright and comfortable.
Of course, it is still divided into three sections, according to the habit of the Manchurians, the east side is generally a study, which is divided by a hundred treasure grids.
But it was clear that Jian Dong'er liked the beauty of symmetry, and the walls on both sides of them were made of large wood. The varnish, the color of the logs, and the patterns on the wood all add a little warmth and elegance to this room.
The east side is the study, which is also a large window, and the wooden wall is a bookshelf, on which are put some books, scripts, and of course, reference books to be used in the girls' school outside, these are all lists that Jian Dong'er specially asked someone to open when she went to the girls' school to register, and then went to the bookstore to pick and bring them back.
In the middle of the room is a large desk, and the four treasures of the study are all available. However, Rong An could see that this should be where Jian Dong'er painted, but the books on the bookshelf had changed.
"When we have free time, we can draw and read books together here." Jian Dong'er said happily.
Of course, against the lattice window on the south wall, there is also a normal desk and circle chair. The desk is also foreign-looking, with various patterns and baffles on it, and of course, there are all kinds of strange drawers. I don't know what it's for.
"The slave went to the girls' school to register for you, and I think there will be a lot of homework every day. This desk was chosen in the style of your principal's office. However, the adult said that the table of the foreign girl was specially made, and he had already asked people to order it, and when he came back, he changed it for you. ”
Although Jian Dong'er said that she thought this desk was weird, she still felt that since she was going to the foreign school, the things in this room had to be arranged according to the foreigners.
The West House is still a bedroom, and when I entered, there was a thick carpet on the floor, of course, there was no stepping bed, but a Western-style wooden bed with large pillars. There is a beautiful pink gauze tent hanging on it, like flowing water.
The reason why the stepping bed was popular among the nobles and the rich in the Ming and Qing dynasties was because they had their own functionality. Because the house space at this time is high, and there is no suspended ceiling, it is surrounded by a stepping bed, just like a small house, and you can sleep at ease; There is also a place to put the official room on the side, so if you are in a hurry at night, you don't have to go outside.
But Rong An knew why they had changed it this way, because there was also a big window here, so that she could see the starlight outside the window while lying on the bed. Because there is an unobstructed view from the outside.
At the entrance to the room, there is also a Western-style dresser of the girl's house, and under the window on the south side is a long Western-style spring stool. There is also a small bookshelf on the top of the spring stool, and when the door is closed, you can lean on it and read a book in your bedroom.
Rong An thought for a moment, "Is there still a house here?" ”
She had seen the whole row of houses from the outside, and the bedroom would never be so small. Then there must be room to hide.
"The princess is so smart, the princess is a girl, of course there will be a lot of clothes and shoes, so the slave dared to make a cloakroom for the princess.
As he spoke, he pushed between the dresser and the bedside table, because this wall was decorated with fine wood, otherwise, Rong An would not have failed to see that there was a door hidden here.
When I entered, it was bounded by the door, and on the right was a long cloakroom, where all kinds of girls' clothes, hats, and shoes were lined up in an orderly manner. And there is a special space on the south wall, and a one-man high diorama is inlaid with it.
And on the left is a washroom, a foreign pool for washing your face and rinsing your mouth, and there is a compartment in it, and a porcelain seat with a pattern is placed.
"What is this?" Rong An really hadn't seen this, and she had a vague answer in her heart, but she wasn't sure.
"Foreign toilets, adults have turned around in foreign countries, saying that nothing outside is as good as ours here, but this toilet that flushes itself is really excellent. There are all over the house, which is very convenient. ”
