Chapter 333 Got it wrong
The entire building is made of reinforced concrete and blue bricks. A large amount of solid wood is used for doors, windows, floors and decorations. Green tiles, tiles and drips are used on the roof, and Gothic style is used on the porch. The stone pillars and the ground floor adopt a Chinese pattern, but the design behind the lobby is in the style of a Baroque church and dome, and the stairs going upstairs are hidden behind it, but it has a more modern style.
This is a building in the "used-ism" style, but the magical thing is that this treatment makes the mansion still harmonious and beautiful.
It should be said that the designers back then were considered masters.
But now, in addition to the attic, the two wing rooms on the ground floor and the three main rooms on the second floor have been renovated and equipped with independent bathrooms for convenience.
Jiang Wu said: "There was another reason for the cancellation of this place at that time. The conditions were too good, but there were too few comrades who could receive recuperation. The old comrades thought this was specialization and had objections."
This is actually true. This was the norm for many old comrades in the previous era. Their high integrity was indeed something Zhou Zhi admired.
Then another magical thing happened. The door of the solid wood Baroque church, which occupied a large wall in the main hall, could actually be opened.
After opening it, you can walk to the back of the mansion. It is the same porch as the front, but the main entrance outside has become an arch decorated with marble. The stone carvings on the porch are also more complicated, and the materials are obviously better than those at the entrance. Be advanced.
There is a "back garden" here. The lawn is already overgrown with weeds. In front is a gable with white green tiles, with a moon door in the middle, flower windows on both sides, and at the ends of the gables at both ends. There are two rooms in the house, and there are all kinds of tools, tableware, and stoves stacked in them. One room has a boiler and a chimney.
Coming out of the Moon Gate is a long slope paved with stone steps, with woods covering both sides, and a path in the woods leading to a pavilion by the water.
The Qingshui River on the left hand side and the Huanhua River on the right hand side. The confluence of the two rivers is the end of the stone steps. There is a small stone pier.
There is also a simple stone bridge on the side of Huanhua Creek, which can be crossed from the small stone pier.
When he turned around and looked at the mansion on the slope, Zhou Zhi suddenly realized: "Brother Jiang, have you turned this mansion upside down?! This side should be the front!"
"Ah?!"
"Hey, it seems so." Godfather said: "This side of the mansion is much more luxurious than that side, and this side is to the south, and you can have a panoramic view of the two rivers."
"But...but this side No traffic? "Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment: "There used to be a large garage outside the mansion, but it was moved out later when we built the factory. Can't cars show off their style? Then they are not allowed to park next to the main entrance?"
"Sheng Grow up in Xinzhong under the red flag Country, this is our blessing." Zhou Zhi sighed and pointed to the other side of Huanhua River: "Regardless of host and guest, you can have two people carry the sliding pole over there."
Jiang Wu was immediately angry: "Really a big dog!"
But it's very desolate when you go out there. It can even be said that the surrounding area is very desolate now. Zhou Zhi can't understand how someone could build such a beautiful building here back then. architecture.
The advantage is that the place is big enough. Apart from the inconvenience of transportation, water and electricity have been opened and have been used for a period of time. Now it can be used after simple repairs.
Several rooms have been individually renovated to very high standards. The equipment used includes the boiler room and kitchen, which are all very good.
The roof and balcony have all been renovated. In Jiang Wu's words, if Zhou Zhi doesn't mind it, he can just move the old furniture out of the utility room and put it away, and he can move in directly.
Of course this is an exaggerated joke. There are countless places in this house that need to be renovated.
Including wiring, including walls, including chandeliers, including independent rooms, it is still far from "modern".
There are also ponds, gardens, garages, roads, street lights...
But taken together, although this is the farthest and most remote place from the central area, it is the most cost-effective place.
First of all, the place is closed and the privacy is excellent. Secondly, the place is large enough and the main building is complete.
Behind is a military vehicle repair shop, with troops stationed and big wolfdogs patrolling at night. Most thieves dare not come.
The rest are problems that can be solved with money.
My godfather is also quite optimistic about this place. Whether it is from the perspective of Feng Shui or the architectural value, he feels that it is quite worth it.
In Jiang Wu's eyes, this mansion is not valuable, but in the eyes of Zhou Zhi and his godfather, it is different.
While in the attic storage room, Zhou Zhi caught a glimpse of his godfather picking at the cracks in the furniture, and then secretly nodded to Zhou Zhi.
After looking around, both of them were most satisfied with this place. However, Zhou Zhi raised a question, that is, the original location of the mansion on the old drawing should include the garage outside, but now the location of the garage is occupied by the military repair shop. occupied, so this land needs to be compensated.
The best way to compensate is, of course, to include the tip of the peninsula in front of the main entrance of the former mansion into the scope of this purchase. Except for the part that is under the management of the river, the rest should be considered carefully and comprehensively, based on the original two hundred thousand. It's not impossible to add some money.
Jiang Wu’s action ability is also first-rate. He immediately went to the office of the auto repair shop and made a phone call. When he came out, he said: "I asked clearly, add 30,000, and we will do it for you!"
"Deal!"
Another 230,000 yuan went out. In addition to the previous 440,000 yuan, 670,000 yuan was gone in the blink of an eye.
The godfather wanted to persuade Zhou Zhi not to spend money like this, but after thinking about it, he thought it was a good deal. After opening his mouth, he changed the subject: "I don’t know whose mansion this is. It should be considered a celebrity in those days. Right? ”
"It was impossible to take the exam at the earliest." Everyone got in the car and Jiang Wu said: "It seems that some foreigner came to the capital of Shu to preach or teach. Later, it was transferred to the French consul, and then to a national counselor. . "
"Then why is it said to be a donation?" Zhou Zhi asked: "After the founding of New China, shouldn't it be a collection?"
"It's like this across the board," Jiang Wu came to see him off. The factory director paid it back With a salute, he turned the steering wheel and let the car get out of the parking space: "At that time, there was a peaceful uprising in central Sichuan. This counselor was a patriotic democrat. He had been closely related to our party for more than three years and used his status in the government to , protected many of our comrades, provided a lot of help for our cause, and even introduced many comrades to embark on the revolutionary road."
"It turned out to be an old underground party like my grandmother. "Zhou Zhi smiled.
“It doesn’t seem to be the case.” Jiang Wu said: “Although Counselor Su has been helping our cause, he has never joined the party...”
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Zhi and his godfather shouted at the same time. Jiang Wu was so frightened that he suddenly stepped on his feet and said, "What's wrong?"
"Did you just say that this counselor's surname is Su? San How many years have you started helping the revolution but never joined the party?" Zhou Zhi grabbed it. Jiang Wu's arm: "Is his name Su Huaxuan?!"
"Uh... I'm not sure about this... I have to call and ask."
"Then hurry up and get off Come on, let's go back and make a call." Zhou Zhi said, already opening the car door.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wu also opened the car door and ran to the office with Zhou Zhi: "Who is this person?"
"If this is really the person..." Zhou Zhi said as he ran: "Su Jiahua, I have to call him my ancestor!"
"What the hell...this is such a coincidence! "Jiang Wu was stunned.
