Shanhaizaizai Kindergarten is officially completed.
The kindergarten is not far from the shelter, on the same level, both are halfway up the hill, a little further away from the main road, backed by a mountain, with a beautiful green environment. It only takes five minutes to walk from the shelter to the kindergarten.
It is convenient for the kids to go to school.
The garden is in Chinese style, and all the roofs are triangular to facilitate rainwater drainage, but the overall look retains a lively and childlike feel. When looking at the design drawings, Lu Cijiu really didn't expect it to be so unique and beautiful. In his conception, he would just enclose a piece of land for a playground with amusement equipment, an ordinary two-story teaching building, and a staff dormitory next to it.
You can see the designer's care and skill.
The kindergarten was originally built by Wu Gao, CEO of Jingke Real Estate. Jingke is a local real estate developer in Yuncheng, and their focus is on building high-end residential communities with well-designed floor plans and well-utilized spaces, resulting in visually striking results.
Of course, the price is also expensive.
Now Lu Cijiu thinks it makes some sense that it is expensive.
Designer Irene really put a lot of effort into it.
The kindergarten's style is more lively than the formal courtyards of the shelter. Facing the main road, there's a ground-floor gatehouse and a lawn. The main entrance is a circular archway carved out from the square, with the words "Shanhai Zaizai Kindergarten" written on it.
To the left and right of the main gate were two small two-story buildings, neither very large. One served as a kitchen and storage area, the other as a teacher's dormitory. In the middle was a large playground, and behind it were two rows of two-story houses, each with a corridor leading to it on either side, so that the children could escape through the corridor when it rained.
The playground is divided into an activity and exercise area and an amusement equipment area.
Anyway, all aspects have been taken into consideration and the work is done very well.
The color of the exterior wall is also beautiful, a low-saturation yellow-pink. The outer walls are painted with monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The style of painting is very Chinese, and the colors are well used, which looks particularly high-end.
Lu Cijiu doesn’t understand painting, he just thinks it’s beautiful and looks very expensive.
"I have a friend who specializes in Chinese painting. I told her there was a project to build a Chinese-style kindergarten here. She was very interested and came to help at a friendly price," said designer Irene.
Of course, Lu Cijiu is grateful.
“It’s so beautiful.”
In fact, when the boss first asked Irene to design the kindergarten, Irene thought it was a waste of her talent. But when she really got involved, especially when she saw the building of the Shanhai Shelter, some creative designs came to her mind. She originally wanted to design it to be more gorgeous, but Mr. Lu said that there was not enough money and he wanted it to be simpler. That was the only requirement, and Mr. Lu did not interrupt or give any random opinions during the design afterwards.
Anyway, he is the most comfortable client she has ever worked with.
"Actually, I have a request, which is very presumptuous." Irene used to be a Western-style person, as can be seen from her English name, a literary and artistic bourgeois. But ever since she took this order and looked up information from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, etc., she now speaks with a certain tone.
I was even laughed at by some good sisters, who said that I had given up foreign things and returned to my original heart.
"You say." Lu Cijiu felt that Irene was too polite.
This lady is very professional and would not have asked if she was in a difficult situation. It must be a small request, but the other party is still so polite.
Sure enough, it was just as Lu Cijiu had guessed.
"It's like this. Last time I came to the yard, I saw some beautiful decorations and couldn't help taking pictures. After my friend saw it, he asked if I could come over as a guest. I'm really sorry. I'm embarrassed to talk about this. I'm so shameless." Irene felt really embarrassed after she said this.
She initially thought the fruit plate was very beautiful and quaint, like an antique ornament, so she took a picture of it and showed it to a friend. Her friend said it looked real, and she was stunned.
Lu Cijiu said: "Okay, welcome to be my guest."
I have no work to do recently, so I invited him to come over for a home-cooked meal. It’s a no-brainer.
Irene thanked him happily.
The kids are the happiest. They have already run to the playground and started sliding down the slide.
Lu Cijiu saw Boss Diao staring at the slide intently, and immediately said: ...
Daerza, don’t you want to slide?
It will get stuck.
Fortunately, Diao Zong still had his wits about him and managed to look away from the slide. For some reason, Lu Cijiu felt a little sad watching this. He wasn't a good father! Sorry, Daer Zha!
"Wow~~~" The "wow" at the end of the sound is an upward sound floating in the air.
Dalong acted like a big boss and said, "Dudu, you kittens, go first. It's fun. Don't be afraid when I push you."
"Don't be afraid." Dudu nodded.
The kitten's eyes are also sparkling. It has never liked sports, but now its little face is full of "I want to play, I want to play". It climbs up the stairs with its little arms and legs, letting Dudu play first. After Dudu slides down, the kitten sits down.
Dalong is like an older brother, helping the two little ones push the cart and play.
But at first glance, Dalong actually wants to play too.
After a while, a young woman in her early twenties came in. She had an oval face and watery almond eyes. She was wearing a peach pink short jacket with a slanting collar and a blue pleated long skirt embroidered with butterflies. Her black hair was braided and tied behind her head with a green hairpin.
He was dressed in an old-fashioned outfit, and the color of his short jacket was picky, but the woman overpowered him because of her fair skin and youthful femininity.
"Master Lu."
The woman shouted at Lu Cijiu.
Lu Cijiu was stunned. Who is this? Ai Lin beside him was also curious. She had seen many beauties, but rarely saw someone like the one in front of her. Her appearance was too traditional.
"I am Hu Sanniang."
Lu Cijiu swallowed the question, thankfully he didn't say it out loud. Hu Sanniang had always appeared as a fox, and this was the first time he had seen her in human form.
It's quite good-looking, and the temperament looks steady and dignified.
"Who is this, Mr. Lu?" Irene asked curiously.
Lu Cijiu said happily, "The teacher hired by the kindergarten is Hu Sanniang. This is Miss Ailin, the designer of our kindergarten."
Hu Sanniang, a former immortal, was known for her arrogance, but now, in front of Master Lu, she politely extended a hand. Seeing this, Irene immediately reached out, gently clasping her hands before releasing them.
"Ms. Hu."
Hu Sanniang hummed, without even looking at Irene, and said to Master Lu, "I'm going to take care of the child."
"Okay, go ahead." Lu Cijiu could see that Dalong also wanted to play. Now that Hu Sanniang was accompanying the two of them, Dalong could have fun.
The cubs were not at all surprised to see the human-shaped Hu Sanniang. They happily called her "Auntie". Dalong left his younger brothers and sisters to his aunt and went to swing on the swing, and also to seesaw with his tail.
The kids recognize people by instinct, smell, not appearance.
The kindergarten furniture, tables, benches and beds are all newly ordered. They were introduced by Irene. They are cost-effective, made of good materials, and can be customized according to the location. There will be no formaldehyde exceeding the standard. They must be made of environmentally friendly and safe materials.
Lu Cijiu knew that Irene was trying to make friends with him, which would be of great help to him, so he thanked her immediately.
After paying the deposit, it will be almost ready after the beginning of next year.
Two days later, Irene came to visit with her friends and an old man.
The three of them brought gifts, and Irene said, "Mr. Lu, this is my friend Guan Zhu, and her teacher, Professor Feng Yu."
He studied history at Guanzhu University and later pursued graduate studies in cultural relic restoration. After graduation, he continued his studies with this professor. Lu Cijiu, an outsider, didn't know Professor Feng Yu's name. When major auction houses were doing appraisals, the ability to invite Professor Feng Yu was a sign of respect.
"Since you're here, you still bring gifts. How polite." Lu Cijiu took the gift and handed it to Boss Diao, asking him to put it back. He smiled and said, "You three can look around by yourselves. This is our guest bedroom. There are bedrooms on the left and right sides of the main house. You can feel free to use other places."
Professor Feng was old, but he wasn't the type to place much importance on small talk and formalities. Lu told them to be at their own pace, and he jokingly said, "Mr. Lu, you already know the purpose of our visit."
"You're welcome. Just call me Xiaolu." Lu Cijiu didn't know the professor's fame, but since he was so old, it was okay to call him by his respectful name.
"Okay, Xiaolu, we're sorry to bother you." Professor Feng said.
After Lu Cijiu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen and made a pot of tea for the guests. As a result, he saw three people standing by the jade bed in the yard, studying the bed. They first got stuck in the yard and had not yet reached the living room.
Just put the teapot on the small jade table.
Lu Cijiu saw Professor Feng Yu's eyes widened, and he was so scared that he picked up the teapot and asked, "What's wrong?"
Professor Feng rushed over and reached for the teapot. Lu Cijiu quickly said, "It's hot, just boiled water." Then he put it on the small jade table, as he found it too heavy to carry.
"Oh, go slow, let me take a look." Professor Feng went to the jade bed, not daring to sit, so he bent over and looked at it. Lu Cijiu felt sorry for the professor's back pain and said, "Just sit here and take a look. It won't break. This bed is sturdy. Ten of us can sit on it and it will be fine."
He noticed that the professor's eyes widened as he spoke more.
"Such a good thing is exposed to the wind and sun." The old professor was full of regret and heartache.
Lu Cijiu explained weakly, "I even built a special stand for it, which cost me nearly 20,000 yuan."
Old professor: ...
Guan Zhu, who was standing nearby, knew that the teacher was cherishing valuable things, so she explained to Lu Cijiu, "This jade bed in your home is truly priceless, the kind that is out of stock. The teacher feels sorry for it when he sees it."
"I know it's valuable, but I can't sell it. We'll keep it here to keep our family memories. This jade bed is warm in winter and cool in summer. The children like to lie on it. We can invite friends to have hot pot or something. It's much more meaningful." Lu Cijiu didn't think it was a waste.
My eldest son loves lying in bed and looking at the stars.
It's impossible to sell it.
When Professor Feng heard this, he looked at Lu Cijiu, laughed and shook his head, saying, "I'm old, I'm not as insightful as Xiaolu."
"Your love is different." Lu Cijiu said.
The old professor on the other end of the line had already looked at the teapot and was surprised again, "Is this from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty?" He was still doubtful, but he was already very sure.
Lu Cijiu:!!!
Diao Zong said it was too ugly, nothing special, and if it broke, it would be fine. Lu Cijiu thought it was quite beautiful. The body of the teapot was made of white porcelain, with flowers and birds painted on it, very colorful. The lid had a brass rimmed bird relief. Plus, the teapot had a large belly, so it could hold a lot. The brass handle made it easy to carry, making it perfect for making tea. He always carried it casually.
"This is cloisonné enamelware. Xiaoguan, pick it up so I can take a look underneath."
Guan Zhu picked it up.
Feng Yu: "It's true, it happened in the later years of Emperor Kangxi's reign."
Everyone: ...
You can't believe what the eldest son said. It's still ugly. Lu Cijiu wanted to pour out the tea, clean it up, and let Boss Diao put it away. Gong Xichao knew what Lu Cijiu was thinking with just one look, and said lightly: "You just said that things have to be used, and they are valuable only when there are memories."
Lu Bijiu: ...
Memories of tea making? What can be used to make tea is not tea making.
The slap in the face came so quickly. Lu Cijiu didn't want to hear Professor Feng's estimate. He was afraid that he would never be able to treat this teapot normally again.
After the water in the teapot was warm enough to drink, the three of them finally entered the living room.
As soon as he entered the door, Professor Feng stopped again.
Lu Cijiu was carrying a pot of water. It looked like the hot tea was no longer drinkable.
"Xuande incense burner? Is this a Xuande incense burner?" Professor Feng was surprised by the incense burner on the altar and repeated it twice in an incredulous tone.
Guan Zhu also looked serious. Although Irene was not in the field, she learned from her bestie. Lu Cijiu was the only one at the scene who had a puzzled look on his face. What was this Xuande furnace?
The incense burner on the altar is dedicated to grandpa.
At that time, the house was empty, and Gong Xichao took out a lot of things from the floor and asked him to arrange them. Lu Cijiu chose things that were resistant to falling - old copper items with a greenish color.
Holy shit, could it be bronze?!
He glanced at the candlestick ornaments in the house and wondered whether to put them away.
Guanzhu gave a brief introduction to the Xuande furnace.
Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty loved to admire incense burners. In order to please Emperor Xuande, his subordinates designed various styles, referred to many documents, and made 3,000 incense burners, but none of them were circulated among the people. Until now, only a few incense burners have been passed down, and they are all placed in museums and are the treasures of the museums.
You can imagine the fame of the Xuande furnace.
"This style is even better than the one in the xx Museum. The lowest price could be over 6 million."
Lu Cijiu: ...The bowl that grandpa eats from is expensive, so it’s okay if it’s expensive.
Because of this interruption, Lu Cijiu forgot to collect the candlestick ornament that looked like a bronze artifact, and saw Professor Feng holding his heart, looking like he urgently needed a quick-acting heart pill.
Lu Cijiu: “…” Feeling guilty.
This item is the earliest one in the courtyard, dating back to at least the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Professor Feng covered his chest with trembling hands, took out a glove, put it on, and solemnly asked if he could start working.
"Sure." Lu Cijiu was stunned by the professor's attitude. He usually just cleaned and dusted with a rag. He whispered, "This is pretty sturdy and won't break. It's fine."
Professor Feng could no longer listen.
The jade bed in the courtyard was rare, after all, it was a rare piece of fine jade, and it was naturally large, but it had no historical value. The teapot surprised Professor Feng, but it wasn't very old, dating back to the Kangxi period. Professor Feng had examined and handled better-quality ones before.
I was surprised when I got to the incense burner. I didn’t expect there would be a big surprise behind it.
This long river of history spans too long.
Almost pulled the balls.
Especially the owners of these treasures just put them anywhere casually, and some even use them frequently. These things, in the hands of other collectors, are placed in safes or displayed behind glass windows.
Lu Cijiu felt that the atmosphere was a bit serious, so he said he was going to cook and left.
Hotpot is a good option for a large group, but Professor Feng's hands were shaking, and he couldn't even scoop up the food properly. Plus, since we weren't all that familiar with each other, we decided against sharing a hotpot.
He decided to have Chinese sausage rice, which he cooked in a rice cooker, along with some refreshing cold dishes and a clear soup.
Delicious.
The sausage was made at home by a netizen who bought talisman paper. Lu Cijiu bought it. The sausage is actually Sichuan-style sausage, which is less sweet than Hong Kong-style sausage and has more smoked flavor from firewood. It is sliced into thin slices and is crystal clear and beautiful red after steaming.
Not greasy at all, and the vegetables are fresh and juicy grown in my own fields.
Brother Cheng came over to help, and Lu Cijiu told him what had just happened in the living room while cooking. Zhou Cheng was also surprised, "Are the plates we used for drinking water and eating fruit antiques?"
"You know Brother Gong is old, and anything he picks up is worth a lot of money. I really didn't expect that someone would just treat antiques worth millions as such."
The road to old poverty is about human thinking, I have never thought about it.
Not to mention Lu Cijiu, Zhou Cheng is the same. He doesn't care about these things and doesn't understand the antique circle.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Cijiu found confidence in Cheng Ge. It was not his fault, and Cheng Ge did not take it seriously. So he felt a little relieved.
The meal was ready quickly. Since the weather was nice today, we all ate in the yard.
While eating, Professor Feng stared at the bowl, and Lu Cijiu quickly said, "The porcelain I bought is from Taobao, it's really not an antique."
"It's rare for me to see an ordinary person here. It's quite rare." Professor Feng joked.
Lu Cijiu: Haha.
The meal is delicious.
The kids can eat two big bowls. Of course, they are small porcelain bowls.
Because netizens suggested that stainless steel was not good-looking and artistic, Lu Cijiu later changed it to porcelain. The baby at home is sensible and has never broken a bowl.
To be honest, the sausage rice was really delicious, but because of the decorations in the room, Professor Feng did not sit down quietly to savor it. While he was eating the rice, he was still thinking about the antiques he had just seen.
It's so shocking.
After dinner and chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Professor Feng and the other two went back down the mountain.
"It was worth it. I drank tea with a teacup from the Kangxi era and touched a bronze candlestick. It was perfect." Professor Feng sighed slowly while sitting in the car.
Guan Zhu asked her best friend, "Mr. Lu, who are you? Didn't you say you were a master of metaphysics? How come you have such a deep pocket?" She met him today, and any item he took out could shock the antique circle.
Not to mention the jade bed and candlesticks, the conservative estimate is around 100 million.
Irene was also confused. "It's a master. Our boss trusts him very much. Didn't I tell you about the kindergarten project? I don't know much about the antiques you mentioned, but Master Lu doesn't seem to take it seriously. He probably doesn't care about the money."
It's not just that I don't take it seriously, I don't take it seriously at all.
"It's better to have money." Guan Zhu concluded.
Rich people say goodbye to the old: ...
Give me face.
#Sun Hao and Liu Jiaren divorce#
#Sun Hao: Separate peacefully if it's not suitable#
#Sun Hao cheats#
The internet has been buzzing with activity over the past ten days, with netizens like wild geese in the fields, gorging themselves on the gossip and unable to keep up. First, there was a rumor that a middle-aged male star surnamed S, a good husband, and his wife had divorced.
As soon as the news broke, netizens immediately guessed it was Sun Hao. It couldn't be helped, given his surname, his reputation as a loving husband, and his popularity among middle-aged male stars and actors. Netizens chimed in, saying, "Bullshit," "I don't believe it," "These two are true love in the entertainment industry," "No one's divorced could be Sun Hao," and "Sun Hao's love for his wife is obvious to all."
A day after being slapped in the face, Sun Hao stood up himself and wrote a short essay on Weibo. The gist of it was that he had loved, cherished and had beautiful memories with his wife over the years, and he respected his wife's choice. The two were not suitable for each other and wanted to divorce peacefully. It would be better for the child to stay with their mother. He gave up the family's real estate and car, and they would go their separate ways in the future. He still had his wife and children in his heart, etc.
It was a very sentimental thing.
It exploded immediately.
This short essay is well written, implying that he will leave the house with nothing and leave all the property to his wife and children. He loves his wife and children and his image as a good man remains unchanged. He says that he respects his wife's choice, but isn't this shifting the blame to Liu Jiaren?
This means that Liu Jiaren filed for divorce.
Although they repeatedly said that they were not suitable and separated peacefully, netizens still did not believe it.
During the Chinese New Year, they attended a charity gala together. The couple walked the red carpet with their children, and they were on the hot searches for several days. There were comments like "Sun Hao loves his wife", "Sun Hao is a good man", "Sun Hao's family is good-looking", etc.
Now you're getting divorced for no reason?
This generation of netizens is very malicious towards women. They started to dig up Liu Jiaren, implying that Liu Jiaren had found a new love and kicked Sun Hao out. Some marketing accounts even posted blurry pictures, showing Liu Jiaren dating a little puppy.
Then Liu Jiaren was furious and directly sent a lawyer's letter to sue the marketing account. On the other hand, many big V marketing accounts emerged, revealing that Sun Hao had cheated on her for a long time, and not just with one person. The evidence was thrown out, and Liu Jiaren was kept in the dark all the time. It was really pitiful. She was a beautiful and wealthy girl, married to a poor boy, and the result was like this?
The dog man is really a dog.
And the RV they live in was bought with Liu Jiaren's money. How can Sun Hao have the nerve to say such things? Liu Jiaren gave him face and kept silent, probably just to prevent the child from being embarrassed to have such a father. Now he doesn't have to.
Netizens: Oh shit.
Sun Hao's Weibo was criticized by netizens, and he also became the mistress of a female actress in the same crew, and a young model who changed her career to become the actor's lover. These two women are not easy to deal with. The actress said that Sun Hao had a sexual relationship with her. She tried to persuade him, but Sun Hao said that if she didn't agree, he would let her get out of the crew and threatened to drug her.
A video was also produced, showing Sun Hao being caught on camera administering drugs. However, the actress filmed it herself, knowing the drug was in the water and still drinking it, clearly just to enhance her pleasure. However, in the video, Sun Hao looked incredibly greasy and sleazy, completely different from his polite and courteous image.
The water in the pond has been muddied.
"...Are you a loser? I asked you to guide and control the comments, but how did you anger Liu Jiaren?" Sun Hao cursed.
The agent was also speechless. Can't he just keep a low profile? Why did he have to publish a short essay? His face must be swollen now, right?
"I controlled the comments and hired a group of online influencers, but there was another party trying to manipulate the situation. I suspect it was Liu Jiaren's doing—"
"No, if I get exposed in a scandal, my son and daughter won't be able to hold their heads up in front of their classmates. Liu Jiaren tacitly agreed to a peaceful divorce and won't mess with me."
That's why Sun Hao wrote a short essay to fuck up his character. Lu Cijiu had said that he would be finished if they divorced him, but he used his two children as an excuse. Although Liu Jiaren called him shameless, he still gave in.
"Liu Jiaren's brother and father." The agent reminded.
The family members are not dead yet. Isn't it normal for you to bully their daughter/sister and hit them?
Sun Hao didn't expect this, mainly because he married Liu Jiaren, and Liu's father and brother looked down on him, so he and Liu Jiaren moved to another city. The Liu family lived in Shanghai, and they only saw each other a few times a year.
Now he was anxious, "No, no, I have already made an appointment with the master, there is still hope, you quickly find a way, delay it, wait for me to come back from Thailand, there will be no problem."
Although the agent cursed Sun Hao for being stupid in his heart, thinking that Liu Jiaren had protected him too much over the years and that he only had wrinkles but no brains, he still wanted to try to save him. If he could, it would be better than taking on a new person and starting from scratch.
"Let's chill it out for a few days and find some other gossip to divert netizens' attention."
Sun Hao heard it and said, "Yes, looking for news. Lu Cijiu is a good target."
"What can an internet celebrity say?" The agent thought it was not possible.
Sun Hao: "Just say that Lu Cijiu and Dou Qinglan are homosexuals."
