Chapter 548: Vacation in the Mountains
This time, Ming Dai's film promotion activities were not arranged in Yanjing, but in the capital of Z Province.
The event was arranged for three days, in addition to movie promotion, there were also new jewelry activities, etc., and I was so busy that my feet did not touch the ground.
Coincidentally, there was an economic forum meeting in Province Z these days, and he was a low-key guest as a special guest, which overlapped with Mingdai's itinerary.
Both of them felt that they couldn't miss this great opportunity to take a break in their busy work, so they deliberately set aside the next few days to arrange a two-day and one-night vacation itinerary.
It takes an hour and a half to drive from the capital of Z Province to Zhuquan Mountain, which is often not far.
And Zhuquan Mountain is a well-known resort in the rich Z province, famous for "forest oxygen bar" and "cool summer retreat", and there are countless homestays located in the mountains, so the commercial area of the town under the mountain takes advantage of the situation and becomes prosperous.
But on weekends, people in the provincial capital love to drive to the mountains for outdoor vacations, so Ming Dai and Twilight drove all the way to see that the traffic on the road is not small, the silver-gray winding mountain road goes up, and the trails on both sides can also see pedestrians walking.
As a resort, Zhuquan Mountain is not a small number of wealthy people, and the appearance of the Maybach is restrained and low-key, which is not eye-catching compared with those supercar luxury cars, so not too many people look at it, and most of them are accustomed to it.
In addition, the anti-peeping effect of the window film is good, and Mingdai sitting in the car can look around unscrupulously and enjoy the scenery along the road.
"Are we going to the B&B?"
This trip was arranged by Twilight, and Ming Dai didn't know anything except the destination.
Ming Dai had also heard of the name of Zhuquan Mountain, and had been here once in her previous life, but unfortunately she only stayed for two days, and she didn't appreciate the beautiful scenery here, so she left in a hurry.
She took it for granted that she would choose to live in a certain B&B, and with Twilight's thoughtful personality, it was very likely that she would charter the entire B&B.
As a result, Twilight shook his head at her: "It's going to the house." β
"Home?"
Mingdai's surprise was quickly answered.
The "home" mentioned by Twilight is a mountain villa on Zhuquan Mountain that his father gave him 20 years ago.
Although this villa is a long time, it has been renovated and expanded three times in the next 20 years, the most recent construction was three years ago, and it was just completed at the end of last year.
In fact, Twilight rarely comes here, no more than five times in total, and it probably doesn't add up to a month.
This villa is more often lent to friends or relatives, but with Twilight's discreet personality, few people dare to talk to him.
Therefore, for the sake of vacation this time, he specially arranged for the housekeeper to come over in advance to take care of it, and sent two maid aunts over, which was very troublesome.
It's just that Twilight won't mention more than half a word to Mingdai, and just plainly talk about the villa as a gift from his father.
Ming Dai's eyes widened: "It's the first time I've heard that there are private villas in Zhuquan Mountain!" β
This Zhuquan Mountain is a protected area, and all development is subject to restrictions...... Ming Dai remembers this, when she came in her previous life, she heard the owner of the B&B complain, saying that they had to report layer by layer if they wanted to renovate the interior, which was very troublesome.
And Twilight: "In recent years, it has been relatively strict, and this villa has been around for some years. β
Naturally, being able to buy a villa in Zhuquan Mountain many years ago is a status symbol.
Ming Dai didn't think about it that much.
She only heard Twilight talk about the villa's age, and she thought of the old, mysterious, or damp and misty red brick villas in the story, perhaps the walls were covered with ivy, quiet and unique.
When the Maybach breaks away from the rest of the traffic, passes through two checkpoints, and goes around to the other side of the ridge, the front suddenly opens up, and you can vaguely see the buildings of various shapes scattered in the forest.
The trees are towering into the sky, their foliage almost obscuring the sky, the silver-grey road is scattered with small bits of sunlight, and the emerald-encrusted lakes appear like surprises at the bends of the road......
The environment on this back side is much quieter than the bustling front mountain, and it is more like a place to rejuvenate the body and mind.
The nearby supporting facilities are well repaired, and you can see trails, seats and other amenities along the road, but there are almost no people in sight, but despite this, all the facilities are still brand new, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into the management behind it.
Maybach drove all the way, and saw two houses far apart along the way, both of which were in line with Mingda's vision.
When she actually arrived at her destination, Ming Dai found that she still wanted to go wrong.
This is not called a holiday villa, it should be called a work of art -
The house is built on the mountain, and the entrance is a black-roofed bamboo corridor at the entrance, along the corridor, the streamlined houses with gray stone and bamboo as the main body creeping, sometimes embellished with black tiles and white wall elements of traditional buildings, the whole gives people a feeling of tranquility, purity, and original simple beauty.
Only on the side facing the mountains, an eight-meter-high floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall was built, which hides all the beautiful mountain scenery, which is very magnificent.
Later, Mingdai heard from Twilight's housekeeper that the architect who was in charge of designing the house won the Pritzker Prize, the highest honor in the architectural world, with this work, and the acceptance speech stated that this work was one of the most perfect works of his career.
It is no wonder that when Ming Dai saw this house for the first time, her eyes burst out with strong surprise, like a child who saw a treasure, lying on the lowered car window, pure joy.
"It's so beautiful, I really want to stay here forever......"
Ming Dai didn't think too much about it, and said what was in her heart casually.
From the side and twilight want to talk and stopβ
almost impulsively said the sentence "Then this house is given to you", and was afraid of startling Mingdai, so he suppressed this impulse with reason......
"If you like, you can come anytime."
And Twilight thought, this house probably can't be borrowed in the future.
Mingdai didn't know about Twilight's mental activity and nodded happily.
Then the two got out of the car one after another, and the housekeeper who arrived at the villa in advance also greeted him.
When she went to Hedu's private island with Xia Ling for a vacation in the past, Ming Dai met Lao Liu, the housekeeper who was in charge of taking care of the island.
But that Lao Liu can't be regarded as the real housekeeper of Hedui, he can only be said to be the person in charge of the island.
At this moment, the person in front of him is the butler who has followed and watched him grow up since he was a child.
"Miss Ming, hello, my surname is Meng, just call me Old Meng."
How could Ming Dai really be called Lao Meng?
Naturally, he shouted obediently: "Hello Uncle Meng." β
The housekeeper, Lao Meng, looked young, but according to Hedui, he was already over sixty years old, and in his early forties, he was assigned to him by Hedui's father and Jingqing.
Before this, Lao Meng was the most trusted person by Hejingqing, and the three generations of Lao Meng's family were all working with the family, which was inseparable.
It can also be seen that He Jingqing is concerned about this young man.
