Chapter 18 Take the king or not(1/4)

The previous owner of this villa must have been a hedonistic person.

Whether it is decoration or furniture configuration, or the cabinet radio, clock, gramophone, etc. that are left behind.

The most striking feature is the piano downstairs.

In that era, being rich was nothing, but having both money and artistic talent was extraordinary.

Even if Li Xuewu's family has nothing to worry about now, do you think Li Shun has any intention of letting his son learn piano?

It takes three generations to cultivate a noble. Without that spare money, where would you have the time and freedom to study art?

Since ancient times, art has been a means used by the rich and nobles to increase their worth and distinguish their status.

Of course, this does not deny the role of art and artworks in the production process of human life.

The pursuit of beauty is an indispensable driving force in the process of human evolution and progress. Otherwise, there would not be today's beautiful buildings and clothes, right?

If we didn’t pursue beauty, we would still be living in caves today, naked.

Think about it, you squeeze into the subway to go to work, and all the people in the subway are naked, what a scene~tsk tsk tsk~

It is okay to pursue beauty and art. For example, where Li Xuewu lives now, he feels that these things have their historical value and beauty.

You can criticize, but you must also know how to appreciate, you must have the vision to appreciate beauty, and you must have the mind to judge right and wrong.

But if in order to cultivate the so-called "aristocratic" consciousness and highlight the status difference, to compete for a grocery bag or a broken bucket of instant noodles at a high price, it is pure stupid behavior.

Because even in Western Europe, where artistic behavior and culture are particularly weird, the attitude towards art is to fill your stomach first, and then beep.

Gu Ning has extensive exposure to Western culture and art. From her ability to play the piano, she can tell that the people and environment around her are open-minded.

Gu Ning has shown interest and preference in this villa since she saw it, which is why Li Xuewu gave her the task of decorating the villa.

The second floor was supposed to have a study room, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

But the original owner, as Li Xuewu said, was an extremely egoistic and hedonistic person.

The study and small living room are separated from the master bedroom, and a door is used to increase the master's living space.

Without affecting the quality of life, the master room on the second floor not only has a separate bathroom, but also a dressing room.

There is plenty of sunshine, good ventilation, and high utilization of space.

This is why Gu Ning fell in love with this place as soon as he arrived, and decided to move here before getting married.

Gu Ning's favorite thing in the large study room was the big desk. Because it was so big, Li Xuewu called it the desk or desk.

During the Republic of China, this was a desk used by foreign compradors, or chief executives of banks and commercial banks, to enhance their status.

From the table and the style of the bookshelves in the study room, Li Xuewu could guess the identity of the owner of this house very well.

Of course, the desk is bigger, Gu Ning likes it, and Li Xuewu also likes it for reading.

For example, now, Li Xuewu likes Gu Ning even more when he picks her up and puts her on the desk, looking at her shy and angry little wife.

How could Gu Ning stand that kind of thing in broad daylight, but she knew from the way Li Xuewu closed the door after entering the house that this person was up to something bad.

I pretended to put away my books and sneaked downstairs, but I was caught by this bad guy.

No matter how strong she is, no matter how tall she is, she is not as strong as Li Xuewu.

Now I was in the arms of this bad guy, and I couldn't push him away no matter what.

"no!"

Gu Ning pushed Li Xuewu with her hand and said angrily: "Are you ashamed?"

Li Xuewu didn't want to waste time talking at this time. He took Gu Ning's hand hard, hugged it and went to the back room.

"No, no!"

Gu Ning just said no, looking out the still bright window, unable to compete with Li Xuewu's big hands, so she could only cover her face with the quilt in shame.

Why is this person so bad!

"Yeah~...!"



On the first floor, Li Shu, who was pulling the tumbler, moved her ears and turned to look in the direction of the stairs.

Just now... was someone shouting?

Forget it, never mind~

Li Shu only hesitated for a moment, then turned back to look at the toys dangling on the ground.

How did you unscrew the head of this thing...?

Children have sharp ears, and they can detect even the smallest sounds. Adults can sometimes hear them, but they pretend not to hear them.

For example, after preparing rice and vegetables in the kitchen, Li Xuewu and the others came down to stir-fry.

Just when he returned to the living room and planned to pack the clothes in another bag of Li Xuewu's luggage, he heard a blushing voice.

In fact, it's not that the wall is not well insulated, but that the window on the door side is still open.

Qin Jingru blushed and glanced in the direction of the sofa. Seeing the old lady squinting her eyes, smiling and coaxing Li Shu to play, she carried her clothes and went to the bathroom on the first floor.

She washes all the clothes at home, including those of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

Li Shu's clothes were washed by the old lady when she was washing her own clothes, so she didn't bother her.

In fact, it's not much. In summer, you sweat a lot and get dusty, so your clothes are washed once a day. Counting her own, there are only three sets.

It took only a few seconds for her to show off her skills. When she was at home, she didn't like to go to the ground, but she had to do all the work around the house.

Which family's clothes are more difficult to wash than this one? The villa has convenient facilities and convenient water.

It's just that Li Xuewu brought back more clothes from his business trip today, three sets, and there should be another set upstairs.

Qin Jingru thought that Li Xuewu had changed his clothes and came down so that he could wash the same set, but she didn't dare to go up and get it.

Just when Qin Jingru washed the clothes, tidied the house, and closed the curtains in each room. There was nothing left to do, but she found that the two people upstairs had not come down yet.

She has no experience, but she hasn’t done it before, so why hasn’t she seen it before?

In rural areas, there are big beds, families are crowded together, and I have seen everything.

Qin Jingru was not a child raised by a wealthy family in the city. She could ask, "Why can parents and children sleep on the same bed?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Or "The question of why grandma and grandpa can live in a house with a kang".

At this time, it would be nice to have a place to sleep and shelter from the wind and rain.

Li Xuewu lives in a villa, which is just a top-notch one. Take a look at the people living in the surrounding villas and see how many flamboyant people there are.

For example, in a courtyard house, a family living in one house can be considered relatively wealthy and have a relatively good life.

If you can provide another room for your eldest son like the Yan Fugui family, then you are considered capable.

Of course, no matter how you look at it, even if the Yan Fugui family is capable in the eyes of ordinary people, they cannot compare with the Li family.

Because Li Xuewu was taking care of him, there were more houses to look for.

It seems that in rural areas, such as Zhao Yafang's natal family, Zhao Gen's house, the house is made of earth, with only a few mud bricks on the surface.

Is this just because there is a relative of a village cadre?

Qin Jingru had had enough life in the countryside, especially after seeing where Li Xuewu lived now, she felt that her previous life had been in vain.

Even her sister's house feels bad now.

Even her sister's house is not as comfortable as the one she lives in now.

Precisely because I cherish my current life, I am much more diligent in housework.

It was even more reflected in her attitude towards Li Xuewu and Gu Ning. She was afraid that they would be dissatisfied and replace her.

In her impression, Gu Ning was aloof and cold, while Li Xuewu had a bad temper and a sour face.

But now she pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds upstairs. Thinking about this time, it was very different from what she heard at home...

She wanted to persuade the old lady to tell her whether the meal should be cooked or not, what time it was.

When I said this, I wanted the old lady not to be hungry, but I couldn't say it out loud.

A big girl blushes when she says this.

The old lady on the other side of the sofa didn't feel anything at first, but Li Shu started to think about hugging her, so she glanced at the time on the wall.

Okay, it was still bright when I got off work, but now it's completely dark.

It's great to be young, but you have to eat.

The old lady waved her hand to Qin Jingru and said softly: "Go ahead, cook."

"Hey~"

Qin Jingru agreed, glanced upstairs and went to the kitchen.

The old lady carried Li Shu back to her house.

Li Shu is very coaxable. Whenever she is tired from playing and wants to sleep, she will ask her wife for a hug.
