Chapter 1493

This meal lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening, and Yuan Liying sent Zhou Xianqiang and his wife and Zhou Wanyu to the arranged rooms.

The old masters were very energetic, and the three old mistresses were also chatting enthusiastically, so they went to the living room of the rear building to continue chatting.

Zhou Andong lit the tea stove, put on the water kettle, and then took out tea leaves to serve the old masters tea.

The rest was for those who needed to coax the children to sleep to sleep, those who wanted to play cards to play cards, and those who had nothing to do just surrounded them to watch the fun.

Zhou Andong arranged for the old masters and old mistresses, and when he came out, he saw Xiao Qin and Zhou Qianyi, one on each side, supporting Seeing Jian Qiu as they walked over.

"Are you going out again?" Seeing Jian Qiu asked.

Zhou Andong nodded: "Something came up, you rest early."

"You go." Zhou Qianyi waved her hand: "Xiao Qin and I will keep Sister-in-law company tonight, you go sleep in another room when you come back."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Don't chat too late."

"Got it." Zhou Qianyi said: "It's too cold, hurry inside."

The three women went into the room, and Third Grandpa saw Zhou Qianyi and asked with dissatisfaction: "Qianyi, why didn't Zhou Yu come? Our whole family is just missing him."

Zhou Qianyi was very helpless: "I haven't seen him these past few days, I don't know where he ran off to."

Third Grandpa's face didn't look very good, but he didn't say anything: "I know."

He had always been thinking about letting Zhou Yu get closer to Zhou Andong, or even following by Zhou Andong's side.

But Zhou Yu never showed his face, making the third old master helpless about this grandson, only sighing that he was a pile of rotten mud.

At this time, Zhou Xianqiang and Wang Huijun were looking at the layout in the room.

"Xianqiang, have you noticed that whether it's the design of the dining room or this guest room, it gives people a very comfortable feeling. In the past, when thinking of ancient-style decoration, one would think of darkness, heaviness, and monotony.

For example, the house Father lives in, and the decoration in many elders' homes we are familiar with, are all like this. But here it's different; although it's also ancient-style decoration, the sense of order and layering of the colors is very strong."

As she spoke, she sat on the sofa: "Can you imagine that a modern sofa could also be made so antique, and placed in this ancient-style room without the slightest sense of disharmony."

Wang Huijun stood up: "This designer is very amazing."

Zhou Xianqiang nodded: "Indeed, while retaining the classical charm, the brightness of the colors is no worse than European or American decoration, and even the details fully display the essence of tradition."

Wang Huijun said with a smile: "Looking at the old master's meaning, the focus of the business will shift here in the future, why don't we also buy a courtyard like this and find this designer to design it."

Zhou Xianqiang gave a wry smile: "Just now while eating, didn't you hear Qianyi say how big this courtyard is?"

"I heard it." Wang Huijun said somewhat confusedly: "If it's big, it's big, just hire more servants."

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Xianqiang shook his head: "We can't buy a courtyard with five courtyards like this."

"Why?" Wang Huijun was stunned: "Is it because of our status?"

"No!" Zhou Xianqiang said: "Let's put it this way, separated from the Forbidden City by a wall, in this geographical location, this is the only courtyard with five courtyards that can be sold.

The others are all mansions of princes, nobles, and high officials of the Qing Dynasty, such as Heshen's mansion. They all belong to historical relics; no matter how much money we give, it's impossible to sell them."

Wang Huijun said: "So, this is the only courtyard with five courtyards in private hands."

"Yes!" Zhou Xianqiang nodded: "According to the saying of antiques, this is a unique piece, and its future value is immeasurable."

Wang Huijun asked: "What about a smaller one?"

"A smaller one should be no problem, tomorrow I'll ask Andong to help find one." Zhou Xianqiang said thoughtfully: "Because of the needs of urban development, last year, Jingcheng made an overall plan to build the East City into a central business district.

With Wang Fujing as the leader radiating to the surroundings, there are many Sihe Academy, including many former residences of celebrities that have to be demolished; at that time, some experts and scholars made a big fuss in order to protect these cultural heritages.

But the development of a city cannot be blocked, so buildings like Sihe Academy will become fewer and fewer, and those that can be preserved will definitely have very high value."

"Building a central business district." Wang Huijun muttered: "This should be the reason why Father shifted the focus of the business to the mainland."

At the same time, Zhou Wanyu left her room, intending to walk around the courtyard.

When she arrived at the third courtyard, she saw Zhou Andong and Zhou Xianyong walking out sneakily.

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Andong stopped his steps, turned his head to see it was Zhou Wanyu, and asked with a smile: "Going out to play, are you coming?"

"Why would you take a woman when going out to play?"

At this time, Zhou Xianyong's wine had already sobered up, but when walking, he still felt light-headed.

Originally Zhou Wanyu didn't want to go, but with Zhou Xianyong's opposition, she had to go.

"What place can't a woman go to?" Zhou Wanyu walked over quickly: "I'm definitely going."

Zhou Xianyong kept winking at Zhou Andong, asking him to send Zhou Wanyu back.

Why take a woman when going out to play? Can you still have fun?

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong acted as if he didn't see Zhou Xianyong's look: "Little Aunt, I'll take you to see the night of Jingcheng."

"Alright!" Zhou Wanyu nodded with a smile: "I came to the mainland this time, you have to take me to play well these few days."

The two walked in front, followed by Zhou Xianyong, who was full of resentment.

Out the gate, Wang Wentian had already driven the Coaster out of the garage.

Zhou Xianyong said dumbfoundedly: "Going out to play, and driving this big bread van?"

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes: "With such heavy snow, if we don't drive this car, can we go out in a sports car?"

Zhou Xianyong immediately closed his mouth; the snow was indeed not light, and he estimated that the snow on the road must be half a foot thick.

"Get on the car!" Zhou Andong greeted.

The three got on the car, and then Zhou Xianyong saw more than twenty bodyguards also get on the car; the originally large car was suddenly full.

There were even several people who didn't have seats and were standing in the back, which made Zhou Xianyong scratch his head.

"It's understandable to take bodyguards when going out to play, but you took so many, isn't it a bit too flashy?"

Usually he was also very flashy and always followed by bodyguards, but even in Wanwan, where gangs were rampant, he had never taken so many bodyguards.

"It's relatively dangerous." Zhou Andong said very calmly: "It's better to take more people, this can ensure our safety."

The corner of Zhou Xianyong's eye twitched violently; he suddenly didn't want to go anymore. Fuck, picking up a girl in the mainland actually has a life-threatening danger.
