Chapter 405: Exquisite and Magnificent
It was still quite late, so Lin Yunxi suggested.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, eldest brother Gu Feng, and Lin Yunchuan can rest in the palace compound tonight.
They waited until the next day to return to their respective homes, because they all asked Xiao Hong to buy houses in Beijing.
All we know is that the courtyard house is near the compound where Lin Yunxi lives, but we don’t know the specific location of the house or the surrounding facilities.
Although the plane was quite fast and it only took half a day to cross half of China and arrive in Beijing from Province Z, it was still tiring to sit still for most of the day.
After hearing what Lin Yunxi said, everyone agreed. However, Mrs. Gu was a little worried that there might not be enough space at home for so many adults and children.
"Aunt, don't worry. The biggest feature of the royal mansion is that it is big. There are many rooms and it can accommodate hundreds of people." Gu Jiayan replied considerately.
"Mom, do you know who lived in this palace before?" Gu Jiahao turned his head from the front seat and asked.
Zhou Chunfen had heard Lin Yunxi say this before. She thought for a moment and replied, "Your question is not difficult for me. The palace is where the princes live."
"That's right. In ancient times, the princes were the brothers of the emperor. The places they lived in must have been large and luxurious."
Seeing her son's funny expression, Zhou Chunfen rolled her eyes unceremoniously: "Okay, okay, you are the only one who knows more."
Gu Jiahao chuckled and said honestly, "I just heard it from Yanyan and Brother Qingshuo."
Different from the lively atmosphere in the back car, Lin Yunxi was sitting in the first car with three quiet girls: Fang Qingyue, Xiaoxiao and Dani.
The three girls stared at the scenery outside the car window with some curiosity, and were full of curiosity about the place where they would live next.
Yueyue had only come here twice when she was a child, and her memory of it has long been blurred.
However, because it has not yet been opened, the development of Beijing City in recent years has not been very fast. It is far from the prosperous city that Lin Yunxi remembered.
Because of work, she often came to Beijing in recent years, so Lin Yunxi whispered to the three girls about the streets and characteristic buildings of Beijing.
After entering the main urban area of Beijing, within a few minutes, cars stopped in front of the gate of the palace.
Xiao Hong, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan's husbands had already been waiting at the gate of the palace, which was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. When they saw the car stop, they stepped forward respectfully to help open the door.
In recent years, Xiao Hong has had a lot of contact with Lin Yunxi because of her outstanding business skills and help in purchasing real estate.
The relationship between the two has long surpassed that of superiors and subordinates, and can be said to be good friends.
Because Director Lin was going to settle down in Beijing with his family, Xiao Hong rushed to the palace early in the morning to help check on the work of her two younger sisters and brother-in-law.
It is said that if you work in a comfortable position for a long time, you will easily feel burnout, but Xiao Yan and Xiao Li have been working diligently for so many years, and this is also due to Xiao Hong's supervision.
Although Lin Yunxi lives in Province Z all year round, he can see the work status of all his employees through the auxiliary management system.
After getting off the car, everyone was stunned, staring at the majestic two-meter-high vermilion gate in front of them, unable to recover for a long time.
The gate is decorated with red lacquer, gold lacquer and copper nails, making it a miniature of the imperial capital, the Forbidden City.
Father Gu and Father Lin couldn't let go of the huge stone lions placed on the left and right sides of the door. In the past, only royal nobles could place these auspicious beasts at the gates of their mansions.
Feeling the cold wind blowing, Gu Zheng hurriedly took off his coat and put it on Lin Yunxi.
He went on to say, "Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law, let's go in and warm ourselves up first."
Xiao Hong quickly winked at her sister and brother-in-law, then she took the lead in stepping forward to hold Mother Gu's arm, and said with a smile.
"Master, Madam, the food is ready, let's eat first."
Gu's mother and Lin's mother had never experienced the treatment of being supported by others to walk. Although it was a little uncomfortable, it felt really good to be valued and respected.
As the four old men took the lead, Lin Yunxi, Gu Zheng and others followed behind and walked towards the main courtyard.
After passing through the front yard, what comes into view are exquisite pavilions, rockery waterfalls, a crystal clear lotus pond, and all kinds of precious and exotic flowers and plants.
The neat layout of the buildings, the exquisite craftsmanship and the interlaced pavilions fully embody the style characteristics of the royal family's splendor and wealth. Even modern large-scale TV dramas cannot capture such exquisiteness and grandeur.
The flowers, trees, and various buildings here were all carefully restored by Lin Yunxi at a huge expense and by inviting a group of China's most famous architecture professors.
It took nearly nine years of effort to restore the originally somewhat desolate and dilapidated palace into its current state.
From now on, a considerable amount of money will be spent every year to repair the palace, but Lin Yunxi enjoys it.
She looked at her achievements with pride, and introduced every scenery and courtyard to her family as they walked.
Not to mention Father and Mother Gu, even Brother Gu and Brother Lin, who were more receptive, were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
