Chapter 312 The Prodigal Si Teng
Su Mingzhe and Si Teng live in Jiangnan Villa.
This Jiangnan garden was built by a businessman during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the previous dynasty. Later, other big businessmen, court officials, princes, etc. occupied and lived there.
After two hundred years of continuous improvement, it has reached its current scale of more than 100 acres.
This Jiangnan villa is not only large in area, but also has nearly thirty scenic spots arranged in the courtyard.
Such a vast and magnificent classical garden can be ranked among the top ten in China today, and is in no way inferior to the Zhongshan Garden where Mrs. Song lived.
There is no need for Si Teng to build a new villa since she lives in a place like this.
Therefore, Si Teng wanted to rebuild a new house in the Feng Shui gathering place in Yuhang City.
In Master Bai Shi's opinion, there must be a deeper meaning behind this that he is unaware of.
Unfortunately, he didn't know much about Feng Shui, and couldn't figure out what Si Teng wanted to do. He could only warn her:
"Ma'am, this place is too important to be left to private ownership."
"I don't want to occupy it for a long time, so how about leasing it to me for fifty years?"
Si Teng had never intended to occupy the place for a long time. The reason why she proposed to buy it and set up the holiday villa was actually to prepare for the current leasing plan.
But her bottom line is actually a lease for twenty years.
"Then it will be fifty years. After fifty years, this place must be returned to the government!"
Master Bai Shixuan also understood Si Teng’s strategy, but Si Teng’s identity forced him to treat it with caution.
In the end, they still got her the documents for a holiday villa, and leased it to Si Teng for fifty years at a cost of 100,000 yuan per year.
At the same time, there are two small villages within the area designated by Si Teng.
Master Bai Shi estimated that the demolition cost would be about two to three million.
"Then I'll trouble Master Bai Shixuan with this matter as well."
Si Teng achieved her goal and signed two checks for five million on the spot, handing them to Master Bai Shixuan and saying:
"I'd also like to trouble Master Bai Shixuan to build a wall around the place after the people inside have been relocated to prevent anyone from entering. I will find someone to build the buildings inside in the future."
"That's no problem."
Anyway, it's only fifty years. Master Bai Shixuan thought that if he lived longer, he might not be dead by then. He was not afraid that Si Teng would occupy this place for a long time.
Si Teng returned home with the documents in a good mood. She sat quietly in the pavilion in the back garden, holding a book and reading quietly.
When the sun set, Su Mingzhe came back from get off work and saw Si Teng staying at home. He asked curiously:
"Didn't you go shopping today?"
Si Teng and the man came to the restaurant and sat down, and replied faintly:
"It's all the same scenery, and it doesn't mean much."
Su Mingzhe agreed:
"It's true. After watching it for a long time, it's no longer fresh. In fact, there is not much difference between a busy city and a deep mountain."
Si Teng and the other maids set the table and prepared to eat before she spoke:
"I went to the Hanging Master Association today and rented the Dragon Pearl land by the Jingchi Lake. When the villa is built, we will move there."
Su Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded:
"Okay."
There are three major dragon veins in China.
The names of these three dragon veins are Xunlong (wind dragon), Zhenlong (thunder dragon), and Genlong (mountain dragon).
In addition to the three major dragon veins, there are nine Kun dragons (earth dragons) and five Kan dragons (water dragons) as small dragon veins.
These dragon veins all originate from one ancestral dragon vein.
Together, they are the eighteen dragon veins of Shenzhou.
The dragon vein to which the Yangtze River belongs is a Kan dragon, of which Taihu Lake and West Lake are the two dragon eyes.
The place where dragon veins converge that Si Teng chose is actually one of the dragon vein acupoints.
By practicing in such a place, Si Teng and Su Mingzhe's old injuries can be healed quickly.
If Su Mingzhe was the only one injured, he would not be willing to consume the dragon vein spiritual energy to help himself recover from his injuries.
However, Si Teng also needs to recover her strength now, so she might as well borrow it.
Seeing that the man had no objection, Si Teng continued:
"I have leased it for fifty years in total. Do you have any requirements for the manor?"
"It's up to you to handle this matter. If there's anything you need or any designs, you can ask Dongmei and the others to find professionals to do it."
Su Mingzhe had no objection to Si Teng's arrangement.
If Su Mingzhe were alone, it would be enough for him to have food when hungry, clothes when cold, a car to go out and a house to stay in.
But now I am not living for myself alone.
Su Mingzhe now bears the responsibilities of Master Xuan and the Kara tribe alliance, and his every move is being watched by many people.
In order not to live like a dictator, Su Mingzhe lived in a Jiangnan villa covering more than one hundred acres, with more than one hundred masters as guards and hundreds of staff members serving him.
Now Si Teng wants to change place, which is actually not bad.
The construction speed of the 'holiday villa' is not fast, after all, the workload is quite large.
The first step is to mobilize the villagers to relocate.
Although Si Teng gave five million, each household would have to pay at least ten thousand yuan in demolition fees.
But the government would certainly have taken some action, and it eventually fell into the hands of two or three hundred villagers, and each family was considered lucky if they could get three to five thousand yuan.
Of course, three to five thousand yuan is also valuable now.
A house in Yuhang City costs about two thousand yuan.
In order to speed up the relocation, the government directly bought new houses in the city, moved the villagers' household registration to the city, and arranged jobs for them.
So except for a very small number of people who were attached to their hometown and were unwilling to move, everyone else moved away very happily.
For the few families that did not agree to move, the Hanging Artists Association did not forcibly demolish their homes. Instead, after communication with them, they made them forest rangers.
Three months later, it was Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Hanging Artists Association sent people to surround the "holiday villa" with a wall.
At this time, the blueprints for the "holiday villa" designed by Si Teng were also completed. The design of the entire holiday villa was divided into six functional areas.
Si Teng asked people to build a residential area first, and when it was completed, she and Su Mingzhe would live there.
The two of them were always injured, which was very uncomfortable after all.
With overtime work and the recruitment of a large number of workers, the residential area covering more than 300 acres was built in less than half a year.
The next year, summer.
Su Mingzhe and Si Teng took half of the people in Jiangnan Villa and moved to the holiday villa.
This holiday villa covers a vast area, with the residential area alone covering more than 300 acres.
Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and red umbrella all have their own independent courtyards here.
"What a luxury."
It has been nearly a thousand years since the plum demon was transformed. It has lived in the human world since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and has a relatively good understanding of human affairs.
In her understanding, the Forbidden City where the emperor lives in this world is just over a thousand acres.
As a result, the total area of Si Teng's holiday villa is actually larger than that of the Forbidden City.
This is no longer a luxury.
The money Su Mingzhe earned was quickly consumed by Si Teng like running water.
Eight years later.
With strong financial resources, the six functional areas of the holiday villa were roughly built.
All the gold, silver, and jewelry that Su Mingzhe stored in the warehouse and his savings in the bank were used up.
As the housekeeper, Mei Yao is responsible for counting the money coming in and out.
This holiday villa cost more than 600 million yuan from leasing the land to its complete construction.
You know, last year Yuhang City’s annual tax revenue was just over 100 million.
The money in the account was gone.
Mei Yao had no choice but to come to the pharmaceutical factory and ask Su Mingzhe for money while he was at work:
"Boss, the money in the family account is empty again."
"Didn't they say that the resort has already been built and no more money is needed? And didn't they just transfer 50 million last month? It's only been a month, how come it's empty again?"
Su Mingzhe was a little dazed, and then his teeth felt a little sour.
My wife is really good at spending money.
In the TV series, Si Teng wears two sets of clothes in each episode, and the styles are never the same.
At that time, I felt that Si Teng was so beautiful. No matter what clothes she wore, she was graceful and beautiful like a dream.
With a daughter-in-law like this, it’s worth spending any money to buy clothes for her.
Now it's my turn to support this spendthrift woman.
Not only does Si Teng have to wear different clothes every day, she also has to build the most beautiful holiday villa in the world.
Su Mingzhe felt that if he didn't cheat, he would not be able to hold on.
Mei Yao didn't know what the man was thinking. When she heard the man's question, she replied:
"Madam said that the Huafeng Pagoda has been rebuilt. In her spare time, you and your husband can go boating on the lake together. So I thought about building a new pleasure boat."
Su Mingzhe was puzzled:
"How much is it worth to build a pleasure boat? How could tens of millions be spent?"
Mei Yao smiled bitterly and replied:
"Madam wants to use red sandalwood to build a new pleasure boat, saying that red sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit."
"Then let her be."
When Su Mingzhe heard that the pleasure boat was going to be built with rosewood, he knew that this would be another huge expense.
But he didn't say anything, and directly handed over one of his few secret accounts to Mei Yao, and instructed:
"Dongmei, there are about 100 million in this account. As I said before, as long as Madam needs money, there is no need to report it, just take it directly. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money."
At worst, I can go back to my old job and go to the West to rob TN!
"Understood, sir."
Mei Yao took the account and said nothing.
After work.
Su Mingzhe returned home and had dinner with Si Teng, and the two were going to rest.
Arriving at the bedroom, Si Teng suddenly said:
"Mingzhe, is there not much money at home?"
Su Mingzhe listened and said with a smile:
"Why do you care about this? Is it because you want to build a rosewood pleasure boat?"
Si Teng nodded and admitted:
"Today I asked Dongmei to buy some red sandalwood to build a pleasure boat, but she said that red sandalwood is too expensive and it would be a waste to build a pleasure boat."
“It’s a bit of a waste indeed.”
Su Mingzhe did not hide this and said directly:
"Rosandalwood is a good choice for furniture. If you want to build a pleasure boat, most people would use huanghuali. But if you like rosewood, then use it. If it's out of stock in China, you can buy it abroad. It'll just be a little more troublesome."
"That's good."
Seeing that the man's tone was calm and he was not worried about money, Si Teng changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Huafeng Tower has been rebuilt and is being finalized. We can rest there in a few days."
"Okay."
Su Mingzhe was actually quite curious about what the benefits of practicing on the dragon vein acupoints were.
