Rebirth of the Starry Night Sky

  The floor was made of red wood, and the bookshelves, tables, and chairs in the study had all been replaced with ones made of purple sandalwood, carved with simple and elegant patterns, emitting a faint fragrance. Seeing the delight in Old Master Yun's eyes, Green Lotus smiled and began to introduce them to him.

  "The desk, chair and bookshelf in the study are all made of thousand-year-old purple sandalwood. There are six more bookshelves than before, and two more shelves with irregular compartments. The books and other things on the shelves were left as they were, and the master had some books, porcelain, jade decorations, and wood carvings sent over. The renovation of the music room only added sound effects and lighting, and the musical instruments are still the same as before. The instruments given to the young master by the master are all placed in the young master's music room."

  Through the room with bookshelves, all the way to the piano room, the wooden floor where the piano was placed had also been changed to purple sandalwood, and the whole piano room had undergone a transformation, making it even brighter.

  After visiting the study, Old Master Yun no longer cared about other places and stayed here to see what books were on the shelves. Yun Xiangfei and Chen Chen also chose to stay with Old Master Yun, while others continued to look at other places.

  Green Lotus led everyone to the bedroom prepared for Old Master Yun, and everyone could see that it had been renovated. The walls were painted with a light yellow color, the original wooden windows were carved with flowers, the brown wooden floor, the red wood wardrobe, and the large carved bed gave off a heavy atmosphere, suitable for the stability of the elderly.

  The green lotus pressed the switch at the door, and a circle of orange light lit up beside the bed. The two small wooden lamps on the headboard also lit up, and another wooden lamp on the beige ceiling lit up, making the already bright bedroom even clearer. She pointed to the carved hollow wood carvings that looked like decorations at the four corners and center of the ceiling, and then introduced the switch by the door to everyone.

  "There are three switches by the door, controlling the ceiling light, bedside lamp and the floor lamp beside the bed. The three switches on the headboard can also control them. Next to this LCD panel is for controlling air conditioning and underfloor heating, the air outlet of the air conditioner is that decorative wooden carving on the ceiling. You don't have to worry about electricity, all the electricity in the house is collected from solar energy, external power is just a backup." The power generation capacity was not large at this time, so power outages often occurred, and the electricity bill was not low.

  The biggest change in the house is that each bedroom now has a bathroom. Everyone gasped when they saw the bathroom, which was completely different from the old-fashioned style of the house. The bathroom had modern and luxurious decorations, with high-quality materials used throughout. The floor tiles were made of light brown matte ceramic, the walls were covered in shiny beige bricks, and there was a large ceramic bathtub. The door was made of frosted glass, and the showerhead sparkled brightly. The sink was made of creamy white ceramic, and the mirror was crystal clear. Above the sink, three large warm-toned lamps provided ample lighting.

  "The light switch in the bathroom is the same as outside, there are two kinds, one for lighting and one for heating. There's also an electric water heater, so you can have hot water at any time." Green Lotus was explaining to everyone how to use the water heater in the bathroom and the air conditioning by the door, and the floor heating control method, when she suddenly pretended to remember something, her face becoming serious: "The air conditioning in the house, don't tell others about what I just told you, these are all things researched by Master Men's disciples for their own use, they haven't appeared outside yet, not even abroad. Don't tell others too much, be careful or it will bring unnecessary trouble, after all, these are hard to explain."

  Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard what Green Lotus had to say. All of this was beyond their imagination.

  Yun Lao Tai Tai stopped visiting after seeing the bedroom where she would be staying, and went to the study room to find Yun Lao Ye Zi. Only Yun Xi, Chen Rong, and Cloud Light (Yun Qing Ran) continued to visit together.

  For the other bedrooms in the main house, they just took a rough look at the door and didn't have the previous room's grandeur. The layout was similar, but the furniture colors were different, with more youthful vitality and less stability.

  After finishing the main house, Green Lotus took the three of them to see the three small courtyards together. The stone table that connected the three small courtyards outside was moved to one side, and a corner had a small mobile water pool, with a fake mountain inside, only some small lotus leaves and flowers, and a few goldfish swimming in the water.

  Three small courtyards are of ordinary size, with different trees in each courtyard. One has only pink weeping willows, one has only maple trees, and one has only night-blooming jasmine trees. The two-story small building has a larger room and a smaller room on the upper floor, as well as two smaller rooms. Yun Xiangyan's family chose to renovate the combined garden into two bedrooms with two study rooms. The furniture in the large bedroom is mainly heavy black, while the small bedroom belongs to Yun Chenyi and was decorated in blue according to his wishes.

  After finishing, Green Lotus led the three back to the study, preparing to let everyone rest for a while before going to see Yun Qingran's courtyard. She knew that Old Man Yun and the others would only be at ease after seeing where Yun Qingran lived.

  Everyone went to find Mr. Yun and his family, just in time to see them coming out of the study as well. They all headed together to the rear living room for a rest, where Green Lotus served freshly made pastries and tea. After resting for about half an hour, everyone decided to go visit Yun Qingran's secluded retreat.

  A delicate and elegant structure with transparent crystal inscriptions on the arched white stone gate, which is carved with hollowed-out bamboo leaves. In front of the stone gate stands a lan flower stone screen, and to enter the garden, one must walk around the screen from either side.

  A small courtyard outside the main gate has a semi-circular pool, with a two-meter-high artificial hill at the left corner. The hill is topped with pavilions and winding paths, and a gentle stream flows down from the top to form a miniature waterfall. In the pool are blooming lotus flowers, their delicate blue petals glistening in the water's reflection. Underneath the lotus leaves are small blue fish, their elegant bodies shimmering like precious stones in deep blue color.

  On the other side of the small courtyard, there is a high circular stone platform. A 0.5-meter-wide stone step surrounds the platform and rises up. The edge of the stone step is surrounded by a circle of black rose handrails. On the platform, there are white jade square tables and round stools. Sitting on them, you can see outside the courtyard. Under the stone platform, there is a sea of champagne-colored roses. In the sea of flowers, there is a path made of pebbles that leads to the gate of the small courtyard, one that leads to the corridor outside the building, and another that connects to a milky white rocking chair next to it. The frame of the rocking chair is wrapped with white roses. Outside the railing of the corridor, there is a circle of blue roses.

  A two-story V-shaped small building with a living room, a dining room and three bedrooms on the first floor. There is a wooden staircase at the corner to go upstairs. On the halfway of the stairs, there is a one-meter-long platform next to which is a hidden shoe cabinet. To go upstairs, you must change into indoor shoes again.

  Upstairs are Yun Qingran's bedroom, study, music room, practice room and workshop. The bedroom is very large, with a white rose-carved bed covered in light purple silk sheets, and blue gauze hanging loosely from the ceiling, tied to the two bedside tables. On the wall above the headboard is an orchid lamp, and around the base of the bed are pink lanterns. The floor is made of light brown wood, with cream-colored walls that have a row of pink wall lamps along the edges, topped by a large rose-shaped crystal chandelier, composed of layers of flowers forming a five-sided lamp panel, controlling the brightness of the room at different levels.

  Across from the bed are two sliding doors with silver-edged mirrors, which lead to her dressing room. One wall has a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a silver border, and a dresser for jewelry boxes. Two walls have white cabinets without doors for hanging clothes. The floor-to-ceiling mirror can also slide open, revealing storage space for hats and accessories.

  Next to the cloakroom is the bathroom. The bathroom is very large, with a light-colored tone, bright lights, and a large bathtub that can accommodate two people lying down side by side.

  The bedroom has a spacious balcony facing the outside, with carved wooden doors sliding on both sides. On the balcony is a circle of green roses, one side has a small bamboo woven rocking chair, and the other corner has a round glass tea table and two metal and bamboo chairs.

  The study is next to the bedroom, also made of thousand-year-old purple sandalwood, but with a layer of milky white paint, which makes Old Master Yun exclaim that it's a waste of good materials. The balcony is similar to the one in the bedroom, with a round tea table and two chairs. To enter the music room from the study, there is only a window without a balcony, and currently, only a black three-cornered piano has been placed inside. The practice room has mirrors on three sides, and the floor is covered with white plush carpet. The handicraft room has a wide desk, and the cabinets on the wall are neatly arranged with various tools that Yun Qingran will use.
