American Fortune Life

Within a garden, half of China's private life history of thousands of years is condensed, which is a metaphor for the pattern of a city.

In the Stone Worship Garden, under the explanation of Zhao Xiping, the descendant of the Xiangshan Gang, Andy learned about the beauty of Taohuayuan, the customs, construction and skills of Suzhou gardens, as well as the essence of art and humanities such as poems, operas and paintings behind them. Reprinted as it is.

Perhaps only a super-rich person like Andy Smith who has a strong interest in and research on Chinese culture and has strong financial resources can invite dozens of descendants of the "Xiangshan Gang" so extravagantly to stay at the venue all the time, stacking mountains and rivers Bar.

"Take one branch of the tree and one corner of the stone. This 4.5-meter-high main peak stone is inspired by Mi Fu's worship of stones in the Song Dynasty. Its quality is comparable to Guanyun Peak in Lingering Garden..."

Hearing Zhao Xiping's words, Andy glanced at the other party indifferently, focusing on this tall, majestic and precipitous rock with various shapes, stretched out his hand and brushed along the edge of the strange stone, with a faint smile on his face , said casually: "Mi Fu worships stones. Mi Fu is a doctor of Taichang. He knows nothing to be an army. When he first took office in the government office, he saw the unique strange stone standing in the state capital. He was ecstatic for a while, so he asked his followers to bring him a robe. Wat, put on the official uniform, hold on to the wat board, like bowing to a strange stone, and call it "Shizhang", which became a joke for a while."

As Andy uttered allusions in Mandarin, everyone in the Celestial Dynasty couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The foreign devil's understanding and research on Celestial Dynasty culture in front of him is really not superficial, it is indeed extraordinary. Looking at Andy, a young man There is a lot of kindness in the eyes of the super rich.

"Is this main peak stone the treasure that your teacher found after searching for three years?" Andy asked Zhao Xiping, who looked slightly unnatural, with a smile.

"That's right, that is, Mr. Smith has the ability and financial resources to transport it from China."

Andy didn't take it seriously when he heard that Zhao Xiping's horse PI was not too big or small. This guy is more like a businessman with long sleeves and good at dancing. Yuan Rongfu, the famous "Xiangshan Gang" master, let alone let this master build the rockery in the courtyard piece by piece according to the essence of "thin, leaky, transparent, and wrinkled" Taihu stone.

In order to put this peak rock into the garden, a 500-ton large tower crane was used, and the installation cost per day was more than 10,000 US dollars!

However, some masters are indeed very strong. This Andy has to admit that without Andy’s huge attraction of building a small Suzhou Garden Expo Park, some elderly masters may not travel to the ocean to give He, a foreign devil, did his best.

Going deep from the Stone Worship Garden, passing through the Taihu Stone Path between the bamboo forests, it suddenly becomes clear that you have come to the central courtyard on the north-south axis.

"This is a pavilion outside the bamboo...the Moon Arrives at the Wind Lai Pavilion, over there is the Lion Forest, the Little Feihong and the Furong Pavilion in the Humble Administrator's Garden... so far it is only taking shape."

Andy nodded in satisfaction, and Lima was also attracted by the beauty of the prototype here, the pool surrounded on three sides, the pavilion with upturned eaves, the windows with beautiful patterns hollowed out on the wall, corridors, small bridges and horizontal bridges. The flying bridges on both sides are really novel to her, and at the same time, she feels that all this is like a painting.

After a full circle, Andy was very satisfied. The plan of his garden museum is really a wonderful idea. When the time comes, putting his antiques from the Celestial Dynasty in it is absolutely equivalent to "collecting a future world cultural heritage." ".

We must know that at present, the real estate market is dominated by Western architectural styles, and gardens are facing a serious crisis of dynasties. The absence of master craftsmen, the loss of traditional craftsmanship, and the high cost of private gardens have all made gardens drift away. Almost extinct.

Looking at the old master craftsmen, Andy knew that his garden, which gathered the masterpieces of the masters of the Xiangshan Gang, was the masterpiece of these masters, and it could even be called the swan song.

And the value of Taohuayuan may become a fairyland on earth that many people admire, rather than what money can measure.

Even in the Celestial Dynasty, there are only single digits of gardens that can really be traded in the market.

So Andy explained to the team in charge of supervising the construction of Taohuayuan very early on, what materials these masters want to use, to satisfy as much as possible, don't be stingy with some small money, what kind of columns made of metasequoia and pineapple lattice, 50,000 US dollars per plant The Wanwan real cypresses and a pair of black pines with foot basins for $200,000 were bought according to the requirements, and they were just the finishing touches to the overall scenery of those masters.

And Andy's generous performance made these masters almost spend their whole life's pursuit of skills to complete their masterpieces.

In the returning car, Lima leaned on Andy's shoulder and said with some emotion: "It's really an amazing architectural style, which can perfectly combine the architectural environment in which human beings live and the scenery of nature, which is comparable to the seaside or Building a villa in the woods is much better."

"Hehe, after the completion next year, you will like it even more. By the way, what happened to the phone call just now?" Andy asked about the phone call that Lima went to answer when he left Taohuayuan.

"On the 16th, I need to rush back to New York to try on this year's Diamond Dream Bra. On the 17th, a press conference will be held to promote and display. This year's Bra is designed for women with the largest top circumference. Hehe." Lima mentioned by Dream She will be very happy about the BRA. This is her long-standing dream, and it is finally coming true. Although she already has a diamond BRA that Andy gave her, the meaning is different.

"34B, you can wow with one hand, isn't it the biggest? Ahem...but it's the most perfect! Tsk tsk, I definitely have the most say!"

Before Andy finished teasing, he was elbowed by Lima. He hurriedly pretended to be injured and coughed lightly, and smiled to flatter him.

"You bastard, what a nuisance!" Lima sat in Andy's arms like a swimming fish, wrapped his arms around his neck, said coquettishly, and said with a hint of reluctance on his pretty face: "However, I Some are reluctant to part with you, it's only been a few days..."

"Hehe, isn't there two days left? It's not too late to leave on the 16th. Take my plane back and I'll be there soon. I'll stay with you for these two days." Andy smiled on the red spring in Lima He pecked and said softly.

"Are you sure you want to accompany me instead of asking me to accompany you in the creation?" Lima pinched Andy's cheeks with both hands, and raised his eyebrows a little charmingly.

Andy shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face, he said: "If you want to spend these two days on Chuangshang, I have no problem, it's a big deal, I will work hard, work hard, and work harder That's it."

"Bah! Shameless! My dear, I find that you are getting more and more shameless." Lima angrily pinched Andy's nose and shook it back and forth a few times, coquettishly, then hugged Andy tightly, and put his chin on him On his shoulder, he whispered softly: "Since last week, I have been in a dangerous period. This time, I may be pregnant with a child."

"Wow!" Andy caressed Lima's back, and sighed perfunctorily.

"Bastard! What's your attitude!" Lima raised his small fist and hit Andy angrily, and said angrily with a pretty face pink.

"Ahem, I just lament that this land is very fertile, and it should be as you wish." Andy pretended to cough lightly, and continued to tease.

"You said, will our first child be a boy or a girl?" Lima squinted his eyes slightly, and asked softly with some longing.

"Girls, girls will be closer to me." Andy said without thinking.

"Really? So you like girls, my dear. Charlize Theron gave birth to a girl too?"

"Huh... huh?" Andy hummed unpreparedly at first, then reacted, rolled his eyes, pretended to be a little unclear, so he made a questioning voice, but it was obvious that Lima, who wanted to trick Andy, would not Believing that Andy was pretending to be confused, he opened his mouth and bit Andy on the shoulder.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, let go..."

Lima ignored Andy's screams, biting hard until Andy stopped talking, stroked her back, and let her xie, Lima then slowly let go, and said in a hoarse voice: "Our first child, if it's a daughter, is called Valentina, and the boy is called Leo..."

"It's a nice name, you have the final say! Let's go back later, continue to work hard, and get a few more injections to strengthen it." Andy raised his eyebrows and said to Lima who left his shoulder and met each other's eyes.

Lima's gray-green eyes were filled with mist, and he stretched out his hand to caress Andy's cheek, and whispered: "Damn it, I fell in love with a bastard and was willing to give birth to him, I must be crazy. . . ”

"Adriana Lima, I love you." Andy looked at Lima affectionately, grabbed her hand and put it on his heart, and said sincerely.

"Bastard, I love you too..." After Lima finished speaking, he sealed Andy's mouth with red spring excitedly.
