money trouble

Chapter 146 Yangyun Aman (Still as quiet as a snail)
The price of just a tall golden screen is about 200 million, which is beyond the affordability of ordinary wealthy families.At the moment, the Jinshen porch in front of Wu Qian and the others needs at least as much Jinshen wood as dozens of screens, and its value is incalculable.

A woman with light make-up in plain ancient clothes walked towards Wu Qian and the others. Her facial features were upright and not coquettish. She was not very beautiful, but she had a natural affinity, which eliminated the sense of distance between people invisible. .

After simply checking the information, the woman with plain makeup guided Wu Qian and others to walk outside.

"The design of Aman Yangyun is the work of Kerry Hill, a well-known designer who has worked on many Aman hotels. Mr. Kerry uses modern techniques to naturally integrate precious wood, ancient stone and light skylight to create a An atmosphere that balances the old and the new. The hotel lobby surrounded by hollowed-out golden nanmu wood contains a touch of lightness in its thickness, which is atmospheric and comfortable..."

Walking along the way, the woman with plain makeup gave a general introduction to the situation of the hotel.After leaving the hotel lobby, the woman with plain makeup led Wu Qian and the others to a vehicle provided by the hotel.

"The hotel has a total of 13 villas and 24 suites, which are scattered within 10 hectares. The ancient house suites you booked belong to villas, which are more than a thousand meters away from here. Are you going there by car or not?" The woman with plain makeup asked, speaking in a very stable tone, giving people a sense of elegance like a spring breeze.

"Let's go for a stroll." Wu Qian said, this kind of fairyland-like place on earth naturally needs to be appreciated personally, and the two women naturally accompanied Wu Qian.

Walking along the stone road towards the depths of the hotel, turning around a wall, a towering ancient tree tens of meters high appeared in the sight of Wu Qian and his group.

"This tree must be hundreds of years old." Wu Qian said looking at the camphor tree tens of meters away.

"Yes, Mr. Wu. The camphor tree king is the oldest camphor tree in Aman Yangyun, and it is nearly a thousand years old." The woman with plain makeup said.

The woman with plain makeup led Wu Qian and the others to watch the grandeur of the thousand-year-old tree up close, while telling its story.

It turns out that this king camphor tree was not born and grown in the capital city, but came all the way from Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province together with more than a thousand old trees in the hotel. story.

Wu Qian patted the trunk of the ancient camphor tree with his hands. From the top, he could feel the weight of time, a very strange feeling. Standing under the old tree, it seemed that even the flow of time slowed down.

The story of Aman Yangyun is similar to that of the horticulturists at the West Lake Four Seasons Hotel looking for seedlings. Wu Qian especially admires this spirit of unremitting efforts to achieve the ultimate in one thing.

Saying goodbye to the ancient tree, Wu Qian and his party watched as they walked.There is green shade everywhere, and the planting position of the trees is extremely particular. More than 1000 camphor trees are sparsely or densely planted, some are planted in patches, and some are planted individually. They present a variety of planting methods and different ornamental effects, which are really amazing.

No way, it took more than 10 minutes, and the group arrived in front of the ancient house. The woman with plain makeup handed Wu Qian an old-fashioned copper key.Wu Qian took the key and looked it over carefully. It was the kind of key that only appeared in costume TV dramas. It was extremely elegant in shape, made of pure copper and polished very smooth.

"This... use this to open the door?" Wu Qian asked with a smile.

"No, sir, the copper key is just a decoration, and the room card is the leather nameplate hanging together, with a sensor chip inside." The woman with plain makeup explained.

After Wu Qian came to Aman Yangyun, he felt ingenuity everywhere, even the keys were full of design sense.After bidding farewell to the waiter at the front desk, Wu Qian pushed the door open. In a daze, Wu Qian felt that he had a close handshake with history.

I heard the introduction from a woman with plain makeup before that these ancient houses were all transported from Jiangxi, and they are really authentic ancient houses.At the beginning, the old house was dismantled by a team of professional craftsmen, and the stone materials and stone carvings were dismantled one by one, and then the parts were numbered.After being transported to Shanghai, it was carefully reorganized, and through the ingenious design of Kerry Hill, it presented the appearance it now sees.

When hearing this, Wu Qian and the three sighed with emotion. All the old houses are like this. It is really hard to imagine what kind of engineering volume it is. The billions of fakes do not seem to be much water.

It took ten years, and more than 1000 ancient camphor trees and 50 houses of Ming and Qing Dynasties traveled 700 kilometers to the magic city, where the trees and houses guard the harmony between heaven, earth and people.As recorded in "Kao Gong Ji": "The sky has its time, the earth has spirit, the material has beauty, and the workmanship has skill. If these four things are combined, then it can be good."

"Old trees, ancient wells, ancient houses, tsk tsk..."

The three of Wu Qian stood at the door for a while before walking into this large house of more than a thousand square meters.

The ancient house villa is also equipped with 24-hour personal butler service. A man in his 40s stood in the courtyard to welcome Wu Qian and the others.

After the polite greeting, the butler led several people to get to know the courtyard of this ancient house covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters. The four-bedroom structure, matching private outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and spacious courtyard are low-key and luxurious, combined with the surrounding environment. , It's really like a fairyland.

Although it is an old house, the people in front of Wu walked around and felt no discomfort at all. The designer used a large area of ​​lighting, simple and smooth lines and home decoration to break the heaviness of the space, and the greenery outside the window jumped into the space. Indoors, every stone and every tree bears the imprint of time, but there is no shortage of modern design decorations, and the modernity is well integrated with the ancient rhyme.

In order to preserve the charm of the old house to the greatest extent, the designer only made minor adjustments.Only to meet the livable needs of modern people, large glass windows are added, natural skylight and other forms are introduced, so that every guest who stays can experience the comfort of modern people and the architectural heritage with a long history.

It may be a little exaggerated to describe it as a workmanship, but it is very close to that level.

"Go and get busy, I will contact you if necessary." Wu Qian let the housekeeper go. In this kind of deep ancient house, what is needed is a quiet comprehension of feelings, and no amount of introduction is powerless.

"Living here is really like being in a fairyland, away from the hustle and bustle, and I don't want to go shopping anymore." Xiong Yali sat on the sofa, threw off her shoes, and looked at the courtyard a few meters away with a lazy expression on her face.

Luo Xiaxin brought a plate of welcome fruit from the living room, washed an apple and handed it to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian stretched his waist and said, "If you live here every day, you will really enjoy yourself. It's a pity that it's too quiet and secluded from the world, without a trace of fireworks. I'm afraid it will be difficult to integrate into society as time goes by."

Although Xanadu is good, if you get used to this kind of quiet life and want to return to the modern city, it will be even more difficult, and you will have many unaccustomed.The environment of the West Lake Four Seasons Hotel is also very good, but you can still feel the atmosphere of the world, but instead of Aman Yangyun, you live in an ancient house every day, and you really have a sense of isolation from the world.
