Chapter 289 Clubhouse on the Lake (6300 Votes Plus Updates)

While walking, Wei Xingyue introduced Shi Lei.

"The owner of today's party lives here. The largest house we passed just now belongs to his family. What we are going to now is a clubhouse in Lakeside Park. It is said to be a clubhouse, but it is actually his personal Buddhist scripture pavilion. The owner of the club is surnamed Bai. In Jiangdong Province, his wealth should be ranked among the top ten. However, his background is definitely the most powerful among all the rich people in Jiangdong. Even my father would call him Bai Lao when he saw him. Their family is rare and rich from before the liberation to the present, and the legend says that they are only rich for three generations, and their family is a diametrically opposed example."

Even Shi Lei didn't know anything about the Bai family, so he couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.

He believes that with the wealth of the Wei family, the so-called wealth is no more than three generations, which is nothing more than a joke. In fact, although there are not many people who have been rich for three generations in China, they are not uncommon. But the Bai family was actually a rich man before liberation. After experiencing various movements after liberation, they can still be alone. It is not easy for a wealthy family to be so far.

"Bai Lao likes calligraphy and painting, but he is by no means as arty as the current rich people. The wealth he spent on collections in his life can almost reach one-third of his net worth. In the beginning, they were gentlemen in the countryside. In the late Qing Dynasty, they started to start businesses again. During the years of war, the Bai family also made great efforts for the revolution, costing a lot of money. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, they stayed dormant for a while. After the reform and opening up, the Bai family was the first to go to sea again. The group of people. Bai Lao often said that there are almost no real scholarly families nowadays, and their Bai family is not retro, but he always has such a thought in his heart, wanting to pass on the Bai family's style. It's a pity that none of the children of the Bai family can inherit Bai Lao's mantle. Bai Lao said that all his treasures will be donated to the country when he goes away in the future. In fact, his club is now just like an exhibition If it is not a formal meeting, people from above will often ask Bai Lao to borrow this clubhouse to drink tea and chat, saying that under the influence of cultural relics, even ordinary tea will taste better."

Wei Xingyue talked eloquently, but Shi Lei remained silent, the two of them did not rush in, but walked slowly along the lake.

"Zhang Sengyou was a native of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and was good at Buddhist paintings. During the Southern Dynasties, many temples in the south of the Yangtze River had his murals. It is a pity that such a great painter did not have a single painting. It was collected by the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art in Japan, and it was later confirmed that it was a copy. It is very difficult for Bai Lao to find a copy of a Song Dynasty."

Wei Xingyue said while observing Shi Lei, this is the task Master Wei entrusted to her.

The reason why he insisted on bringing Shi Lei to this party was that today's party gathered many people of his level in the Yangtze River Delta region. He wanted to see if anyone else had contact with Shi Lei besides him. Second, Master Wei wanted to see if there was anything special about Shi Lei, especially in terms of art, because the owner of the Eye of Dark Night was rumored to be a guy who was passionate about art.

However, for what Wei Xingyue said, Shi Lei was very dazed, or indifferent, as if he didn't understand a word, and at the same time he didn't seem to be interested.

Wei Xingyue didn't know why Master Wei ordered her to do this, she just observed Shi Lei's behavior according to what Master Wei said, and seeing Shi Lei's indifferent appearance, Wei Xingyue curled her lips, thinking that Shi Lei was still the same Shi Lei, a fourteenth generation How can you expect a person who doesn't know about sake to have any interest in art from a high place?

Looking at the time, Wei Xingyue said, "It's almost there, let's go in."

Shi Lei nodded, let Wei Xingyue hold his arm, and walked towards the small bridge between the community and the club.

There is a gate at the other end of the small bridge. It is said to be a gate, but it is actually more like a firewood gate in the middle of a country fence. The symbolic meaning is far greater than the meaning of the gate. The difference is that there was no one on the bridge just now, but now, on both sides of Chai Fei, there is a middle-aged man in a black suit standing on each side.

On the bridge, the two men in black immediately came forward, bent slightly, and said, "Miss Wei."

Wei Xingyue nodded and said, "This is my male companion."

One of the men in black said: "Hi sir, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the clubhouse. If you have any fire source on your body, please leave it here for our safekeeping."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I don't smoke, and I don't have a source of fire on my body." I thought I might have to check it like a security check, but I didn't expect the two men in black to get out of the way immediately after listening to it, and bowed to Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue. let in.

"Do you really trust us? They believe me when I say there is no fire source?" After crossing the bridge and walking on the stone path, Shi Lei said casually.

Wei Xingyue said with a light smile: "The people who can enter and exit here are either rich or noble. They said that only because you are a face, so I would like to remind you kindly. Anyone who has been here before knows the rules here. People will make fun of themselves."

There was a door ahead, standing in front of the door, Shi Lei felt a little strange.

This high courtyard wall and wide gate gave Shi Lei the feeling that it was built by the lake. Shi Lei always felt that once the gate was opened, there would be Baishui Lake directly inside.

Facts have proved that Shi Lei's sense of direction is quite strong, even if the courtyard wall completely blocks the line of sight, his judgment is still accurate.

However, after the gate was opened, the inside was not the lake as he had expected, but a small yard. After crossing the threshold, Shi Lei discovered that the yard was built on water.

At the foot is a section of road built on the water. Both sides of the road are surrounded by the lake, and there is a flat land in the center with some flowers and green plants planted on it. It occupies about two acres of land, one on each side.

In front is the clubhouse, a single-storey small building. From the width, it is about 20 to 30 meters. According to the courtyard wall extending to the lake that Shi Lei saw along the way just now, excluding the courtyards on both sides, the small building The depth of the building should be about thirty or forty meters.

Even so, it is already very large, with a single floor covering nearly a thousand square meters. But Shi Lei felt a little strange, since it is a place to collect paintings and calligraphy, built on top of the lake, it's too pretentious, right? Aren't you afraid that too much humidity will ruin the calligraphy and painting?

At this time, the two had already reached the end of the path, and in front of them was the quaint small building. The steps in front of the door were actually made of pure glass, and there was a quiet lake below, without any waves.

Stepping up the steps, the feet are covered with glass. Fortunately, after crossing the threshold and entering the gate, the glass is finally over. Otherwise, if the whole house is covered with glass floors, even though you know it is very safe, you will still feel a little scared when you lower your head.

When I was outside just now, I still felt a damp air, but when I entered the door, I felt that the inside was abnormally dry. After a few seconds, Shi Lei got used to the humidity here, and he no longer felt dry. The dry feeling just now is compared with the outside. In fact, the inside should not be particularly dry.

"The clubhouse is completely built on the water. More than ten meters of cement piles have been laid, so there is no need to worry about safety. The surroundings, including the top and the bottom of the feet, are made of brick and concrete, and there is a layer of one-centimeter-thick steel plate in the middle. The clubhouse itself costs more than 100 million yuan, not to mention the security measures that are comparable to museums." After entering the door, Wei Xingyue introduced to Shi Lei in a low voice.

The addition of 6300 votes is here.

Is it surprising that it's so early?

The author Jun is just a hardworking bee. Shouldn't everyone be encouraged by 100 monthly tickets and 3,000 recommendation tickets? Oh yeah.
