Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 166
After checking the dock, they didn’t stay there for long, and they were going to go back to Fort Sardinson.
Wei Wei originally wanted to bring little Anthony, but Felix felt that Anthony was already one year old, and it was a bit bad for him to stick to his mother.
It’s not that he even eats his son’s jealousy, but that the boy is too clingy to his mother, and what if he becomes the kind of mother’s treasure that Wei Wei calls him in the future?
So, it’s time to nurture your child’s independence and make him less clingy.
Wei Wei thinks what Felix said makes sense, but it doesn’t seem quite right. After all, in general, cultivating children’s independence starts when they can’t even speak clearly and can’t walk the road?
Why do you have to wait until you are three or four years old?
But this time Felix had a rare insistence, saying that he would not bring it, he shoved Anthony into Dolores’ arms, and then packed Wei Wei and brought it out.
Wei Wei was still very tangled when she left, and she didn’t know how her son would cry when he found out that his parents were gone, hoping that Dolores could coax him.
But it’s better not to bring them, after all, they are riding in carriages all the way, and there is no time to rest. If you bring your son, it is inconvenient to even prepare complementary food for him.
Therefore, the terminal acceptance work was completed, and Wei Wei felt like an arrow.
However, they did not walk the same way, but took another road from south to north, through Thrott County, to see the construction of the new city.
The architects also followed them. They were originally invited here on a temporary basis. Once the work here is over, they will naturally go back to the Xincheng construction site.
Although they had already understood the progress of the new city, the couple still asked Pierre to re-evaluate the situation there.
The construction of the new city is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. There are as many as 10,000 workers working here. Even so, the first phase of the project has not been completed after a year.
The first phase of the project includes the city hall and two residential areas for nobles and commoners. The residential area is just a general name. In fact, the city hall is the center, and banks and schools are also built around it according to the design drawings. , libraries, hotels, hospitals, parks and other public buildings, and the Chinese-style park on both sides of the link between the civilian and aristocratic residential areas in the future is one of the key projects. build up.
This is a common idea that everyone has discussed. In order to attract enough people to live and live here, the supporting facilities of the city are very important. Other convenient public buildings can attract a large number of free people with good living conditions. With exotic characteristics, the only Chinese-style garden in the whole of Europe, as long as the publicity is in place, it will be a tourist attraction, attracting countless rich and leisure tourists.
So far, only civilian residential areas have been completed. The buildings in this area are the simplest. The building area is not large and the structure is similar. The workers are used to building this kind of single-family three-story hut, and they can build a piece in a few days. So this one is also the first to be completed.
Although it is said to be a residential area, in fact, these houses are all built on the street, the first floor can be used as a shop, and the second and third floors are the formal living areas, so people who live here will have convenient shopping schedules.
In the residential area, there is also a school that has been mostly repaired. It will be one of the civilian schools in the future. In addition, although there is no large hospital built here, it is equipped with a small medical point. The fire station ensures the daily safety of the residential area and eliminates potential safety hazards.
“There are 500 houses in the entire residential area, and all the streets have been greened according to your requirements.”
Because the built area is temporarily after this one, the first place they visit is the civilian residential area. All the houses look very orderly. The streets are also extending in all directions, spacious and tidy. The windowsills of the houses here and the streets are indeed planted. When plants are planted later, you can imagine how beautiful this medieval-style street will be.
The aristocratic area I visited later seems to have a much lower degree of completion. Unlike the civilian area, the houses in the aristocratic area are all single-family villas with large gardens. The outside is surrounded by iron fences. The layout of Wei’s villas is very similar, but at present these houses are still undergoing the final exterior wall decoration, and the doors and windows have not been installed, so they don’t look very good. In addition, the open space reserved for the garden doesn’t even have turf, which looks bad. Kind of like ruins.
In the aristocratic circle, there are also small police stations and fire stations. However, the medical centers here are more ornately built according to the aesthetics of the nobles, and the layout is not much different.
After that, they went to see other public buildings. Many of the large buildings such as the City Hall were only half-built. According to Pierre, these buildings will be fully completed and will not be completed until next year at the earliest.
On the contrary, Chinese-style parks are the slowest to build. In terms of scale and construction difficulty, it is not very high, but the all-wood structure of Chinese-style buildings and the unique exotic characteristics are indeed a big challenge for them. Even if Wei Wei draws detailed renderings, it is not easy for everyone to fully reproduce the original taste.
Fortunately, Pierre can also make models. Before actually doing it, he will try to make a model. If there is any problem, he can solve it first when making a model.
However, although the problem can be resolved, it is still very difficult to actually do it. Therefore, only a veranda and a few small pavilions have been built in the Chinese-style park. The three-story pavilion originally used as a viewing point has only been built. Covering the remaining two floors, the artificial lake has been dug, and the corridor on the lake has also been built. It is connected between the two corridors, but it has not been filled with water, just a big hole. The rockery in the lake and the lotus to be planted are currently There is no shadow, and of course other greenery is gone.
In short, everything is still in preparation, if you want to see the finished product, please come back next year.
After seeing the park, Wei Wei doubts whether it will be completed next year.
Pierre affirmed: “Of course! After the other construction sites are finished, the manpower will be allocated to the remaining construction sites, so the construction will be faster and faster in the later stage. Before next summer, if we can’t finish it, you can Just punish us!”
He has said so, and naturally there is a great guarantee.
“Since you have promised so, then I can look forward to seeing what this place will look like when it is completed.”
Since it can be guaranteed that the first phase of the project will be completed next year, the publicity work should also be put on the agenda, but this is not urgent, and we can discuss it slowly after going back.
After a circle at the construction site in Xincheng, they set off again, and at Wei Wei’s request, the carriage ran as fast as possible – if not for the servants who were not able to ride, she would like to All rode back on horseback.
It’s been eight days since they came out. Wei Wei has a hard time imagining what little Anthony is doing now, especially in the flying pigeon biography every day, you can see the words “little master cried again”.
It really hurts to read it over and over again, and if she doesn’t go back, Wei Wei will complain about Felix who would otherwise take her child out of the house.
Felix couldn’t do anything either. Although he was a little selfish, he really felt that little Anthony was too clingy. For a boy, especially the future heir to the Williams family, this is not a good thing, look at other Are there any children from noble families that are so clingy? no!
If Wei Wei knew what he was thinking, I’m afraid he wouldn’t go back directly. The children of other people’s families are at least a few years old. Of course, at that time, it was the time to play the most. It’s normal not to be clingy, and Are they really not sticky? No, from Wei Wei’s point of view, they just don’t stick to their parents. They are very dependent on their nanny or nanny. It’s just this aspect that can’t be seen in public. In this way, the proper etiquette education will not be left behind.
And do babysitters dare to let their mistresses know that their children prefer them? Of course not, I am afraid that after being discovered by the hostess, what awaits them is expulsion.
“I don’t object if you want Anthony to become independent, but he is only one year old now, when he should be clinging to his parents, it is too early to start educating him to be independent.” Wei Wei warned her husband earnestly: “Independent and independent. It’s really necessary, but I learned this too early, and I haven’t even cultivated feelings. Have you thought about what to do if he has a relationship with you in the future?” She didn’t think that she would not be close enough to her son in the future, but with Felix The way of education, his father may not be sure.
Seeing that he was silent and didn’t know if he was listening, Wei Wei had to add another sentence: “Think about your relationship with your father, and the relationship between your brother and your father, what do you think? Do you want to? Will you be like Anthony in the future?”
Wei Wei had never met her father-in-law, but this did not prevent her from understanding the relationship between their father and son. The old people in the castle were happy to tell her about the past, especially the Butler Barton and his wife.
Wei Wei has heard a lot, and the final conclusion is that their father and son have a deep relationship, but the relationship is really not very good, that is, there is a feeling of the most familiar stranger.
They are father and son, and Felix loves his father very much, yes, but he was sent to study when he was very young. The time between father and son is too little. Felix respects his father very much, but Not close, which is what he regrets, but the long-term relationship has been finalized, and it is impossible to change.
And his brother Eric, in retrospect, is not very close to his father. His father did cultivate Eric into an excellent heir, but their relationship is more like a boss and subordinate than a father and a son. Obviously their father is not a strict person, but he just can’t get close.
If it were himself and Anthony, Felix would have to admit that he didn’t want them to become so alienated.
He still remained silent, but he did start to think about Wei Wei’s words, whether he was too impatient.
This kind of thinking continued all the way, until I returned to the castle, I saw the crying son threw himself into his wife’s arms, the tears and snot came out, and he hadn’t seen for a few days, and the chubby little face was thin. After a lap, he finally admitted that he had made a bad arrangement.
