Chapter 1550: Oak Manor

　　 The new year is coming.
　　 Rockefeller Central Plaza is also full of flowers.
　　 People walking on the street happily, purchasing materials needed for the New Year.
　　 It's just that the Li Zitao family is no longer in the apartment and they decided to spend the winter in the warmer south.
　　It was also before the beginning of the journey that Li Zitao learned that Lao Mei also has a cellar.
　　 Most southerners have cellars in their homes, but they prefer to be called underground storage rooms.
　　 "Ah~"
　　Looking at the tall and mighty oak trees entrenching the side of the road, like a tall, burly, unchanging guard giant, Mary gave a free cry.
　　 She has not felt so comfortable for a long time, this time the decision is undoubtedly correct.
　　 This time, they went to New Orleans for a holiday. In addition to weather and environmental factors, another point is to take a look at the newly purchased manor.
　　 Located in the Oak Manor, 17 kilometers away from New Orleans, the popular shooting location of the "Gone with the Wind" is their newly acquired real estate.
　　Oak Manor has a glorious history, inherited for 4 generations.
　　From the earliest manor who planted sugarcane, to taking over the land from his brother-in-law, he built this solemn and unique luxury manor.
　　 died prematurely due to illness, his wife was not good at management, and the manor was in debt.
　　Sometimes he waited for a capable and ambitious airport man, but the Civil War started.
　　 The young heir was forced to go to the battlefield. When the war ended, he also lost everything, except for the manor that was almost plundered by the slave who had almost escaped.
　　 learned that both his mother and sister died in the hands of slaves, and suffered humiliation before he died.
　　Family's tragic death, the greatest wealth, the running of slaves and plantations, ruined, ruined, and lingering.
When 　　 was helpless, he could only take the manor out for auction.
　　 In 25 years, a couple took the manor and regarded it as a landscape.
　　The huge amount of repairs, the introduction of a modern kitchen and a water tapping system, seemingly like the former manor actually underwent a major operation.
　　Originally, it was difficult for Li Zitao to buy this manor.
　　 But it is a pity that this couple has no heirs.
　　 They originally planned to set up a non-profit foundation and gave the estate to the foundation to take care of it.
　　 During this period, the two met Mary, and she was very interested in the manor in "Gone with the Wind".
　　Finally, the two parties reached an agreement, and Mary bought the manor for US$ 5.06 million.
　　 And they can use the money to spend a comfortable old age and do whatever they want.
　　If they still want to set up a foundation and devote themselves to charity, Mary will be happy to help them.
　　 "These oak trees are so beautiful, they have been around for more than two centuries."
　　 Standing under the huge ancient oak tree, Mary looked up and said, "It's hard to imagine how the owner who planted them would be so surprised to see this scene!"
　　 "200 years, not long." Li Zitao said indifferently; "If we like it, we can plant more."
　　 "Wait until the next century, and later people will sigh for it."
　　 Speaking of here, Li Zitao suddenly remembered a joke and buried an Ultraman in the soil. Centuries later, will it become a century-old dilemma for archaeologists worldwide.
　　 "These ancient oaks are very rare, don't destroy them." Mary said angrily.
　　 "Okay!" Since she said so, Li Zitao would no longer be forced.
　　Go straight along the middle cement road, hidden between oak trees and bushes, living slave rooms, prison rooms and prison rooms filled with torture punishment slaves looming.
　　 These wooden buildings flickered between trees and shadows, giving a dark sense of darkness.
　　Li Zitao pointed to the rooms and said, "Remove them all, and clean and trim the grass and shrubs."
　　 "In addition, the old horses will be repaired and transformed, which will be used in the future." Being in the south of the country with a strong rural atmosphere, it would be boring to run without a horse.
　　 Soon, the manor house appeared at the end of the road.
　　 It is a three-story building in European style, surrounded by more than twenty Greek-style columns, elegant and solemn.
　　 Opened the door and walked into the room. The decoration is luxurious and elegant. The neat grass can be seen through the rear window.
　　Converted to more than 30,000 square meters, no matter what you want to do here is enough.
At the end is a dense forest, and over the forest is the fence of the manor.
　　 Crossing the fence is the highway, and on the other side is the dam. Standing on it, you can see the many shipyards and docks along the Mississippi River.
　　 In the room, Li Zitao and his family have visited all the rooms in the complete house.
　　The photos of the family members of the owner who built this manor hanging in the corridor have been taken away by the servants.
　　 They are familiar with the environment here under Dan's command, with a view to investing in their own jobs as soon as possible.
　　 Since arriving at the manor, Pearl ran in excitement.
　　Eden followed behind her and ran around in the courtyard with her.
　　 For Pearl, who has rarely left the reinforced concrete city since his memo, the plants and trees here are full of fun.
　　 At this time, she was staring at the ant nest on the ground without blinking.
　　 This position has been maintained for half an hour, and does not mean anything boring.
　　 It wasn't until the servants were familiar with the environment that they were ready for dinner~EbookFREE.me~ She was called away by her mother, and she looked back and forth reluctantly step by step.
　　 "Will we all stay here in the future?" While eating, Pearl looked up and his crystal-like eyes looked forward to Aiden.
Aiden, who has no resistance to his sister's cute look, can only throw this question to others.
　　 "On this point, you should ask your father." After Aiden finished, Pearl turned his eyes to him.
　　 Aiden, who successfully dumped the pan, was relieved, and looked at Li Zitao happily, waiting for his answer.
　　 "We will stay here for a while, and you will have enough time to learn about it."
　　 "I don't want to go back at all." In just half a day, Pearl has fallen in love with this relaxed and casual country life.
　　 In fact, it is exactly the same. Leisure and quiet rural life can always make people linger.
　　Especially if all the clothing, food, housing and transportation are under special care, there is no need to worry about life.
　　 The renovation of the manor was progressing quickly, but it was pushed to a few wooden houses, and the messy things inside were counted and thrown away.
　　The horse behind found the carpenter from the town, and re-framed and repaired it in the style that Mary wanted, and it was over.
　　After a whole afternoon, the renovation of the manor was temporarily over.
　　 As for other aspects of repairs, they should wait until they leave after the vacation.
　　Li Zitao wanted to replace all the floors here, so he used the calf leather floor in his apartment in New York.
　　 Sound insulation, vibration reduction, soft and comfortable, lying...
　　 Cough, walking on it is particularly comfortable.
