Coquettish Rebirth

() "By the way, Hongjian, shall we buy a house in the capital?" Ye Jing asked Jia Hongjian sitting on the bed after helping Jia Hongjian make the mattress. "House?" Jia Hongjian turned his head and asked. "Well, you see, you often have to go to the capital to discuss business. You always stay in hotels. Let's not talk about spending money. It's not comfortable, it's not clean, it's not as good as your own home. Let's If you buy a house in the capital, you will have a place to live when you come, right? In the second half of the year, my parents will move to Hong Kong. I will give you a key here, and then you will live here. , our house can be used for the employees to live in anything.” . .

Although Ye Jing is only 20 at this time, although she has always been the eldest lady, but I don't know if it is because of her love relationship, but now she thinks wholeheartedly about Jia Hongjian, so she is really gentle and considerate. "Well, it's true." Jia Hongjian nodded.With his current net worth, of course he doesn't need to speculate in real estate to wait for appreciation. As an apartment for business trips, this can be considered.Otherwise, he would come to stay in the hotel every time, and there would be no place to settle for meals, and he would always go out to buy. He was really lazy.If there is a place to live, then hire an old lady or hire a few employees to live here, and usually buy groceries, and he can also eat and live here when he comes here. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than staying in a hotel?

"Okay, let's go and have a look later..." Jia Hongjian nodded and agreed, but after he agreed, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Ye Jing, "By the way, what is the price of the courtyard in the capital now?" Jia Hongjian Of course I am interested in the courtyard house, so I followed it to Shanghai.Just like those old villas built in Shanghai in the 2030s!Those old villas in Shanghai are often lived by some famous people, and the specific locations are all within the inner ring. The same is true for future generations.In later generations, if you buy a house with millions of dollars in the capital, that is not considered rich, and even if you buy a villa, you will live in the suburbs!Can a man-made villa live in such a core area of ​​the big capital?So the most domineering thing in the core area of ​​the city is the courtyard house!This courtyard house is equivalent to a villa in the city center of Shanghai.It is a place that pays attention to a quiet place.The location is quite good. Later generations are not rich and powerful, and they can't even afford a courtyard house within the second ring road of the capital in 2012.Why can't one be worth tens of millions? . .

"Siheyuan? It depends on what location you want. I called an old classmate here two days ago. He said that a relative of his family wanted to buy a courtyard near the Forbidden City, but the price was more than 100 million. His family doesn't have that much money. Forget it..." Ye Jing said.

Jia Hongjian was interested when he heard this, more than 100 million?Is this a little more expensive than his new home!His family's villa in the French Concession in Jing'an District cost 100 million yuan just to buy it.Because it was converted into seven families living together in the past, although the appearance has not changed, a lot of strange places have been added to the inside. It will cost tens of thousands of dollars to restore the original appearance, plus the imported Floor heating, redecoration and replacement of some wooden boards, etc., add up to a total of 7 to 20, and the location is only within the inner ring. It can't compare with the core position of this kind of courtyard house next to the Forbidden City! "Really? Tell me about this courtyard in detail? Where is the location?" He asked hastily.

"There are no details about this courtyard house. There are three families living in it now. There are many such courtyard houses in the capital. They were all allocated to houses in the past, and they are basically lived by workers. The courtyard house is just one The courtyard has a door on one side, and three houses on the other three sides. There is an upside-down room at the gate on the south side. Because it is a one-story house, it must be damp. This house, in my impression, is in the On the other side of Jingshan, that is, the straight-line distance of the crooked neck pine where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself is less than 100 meters..."

Hearing Ye Jing say this, Jia Hongjian almost vomited at that time!How about saying that our big capital has a cultural background, which is really incomparable in Shanghai.The most famous thing in Shanghai is the era of Shanghai in the 2030s. What is famous for real estate is the building complex of all countries at that time, but this capital is just something from the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty!According to Ye Jing, the courtyard is next to the Forbidden City, and the place where Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hung himself on the southeast branch is less than 100 meters away.This means that as long as you are willing to get up every morning, you can see the flag-raising ceremony in the world's largest square in front of the Forbidden City!Tourists from other places have to come here for the first time to see the flag raising, but as for him, Jia Hongjian, he just needs to get up early then!

"Well, let's take a look back at this courtyard house. I'm quite interested. I've never lived in a courtyard house before." Jia Hongjian became temperamental.Who knew that Ye Jing said this at this time, "What's so good about living in a courtyard house? It's tall and short, and there are a lot of mosquitoes and flies this summer, and the running water and toilets are still in the courtyard. It's still a problem to go to the toilet this winter." I have to run out. If the faucet freezes, it will be troublesome. What good is there to live in a broken courtyard? I think it’s not as good as a building.”

Indeed, according to the views of people in the 90s, isn’t this courtyard house simply a bungalow surrounded by a circle?What is there to live in a broken bungalow?But in the eyes of later generations, this is a different experience!This is all about convenience!As long as you have money, what's wrong with bungalows? Chaos?The corners of the house were sawed off, and the whole was raised by 20 centimeters. A keel was placed underneath, a reinforced concrete foundation was placed, and a ventilation channel was left. Then, the keel was lowered and covered with bamboo carbon bags, and the carbon was used to absorb super air. What is so wet?Even install floor heating, it will only be warm, absolutely not wet!

What running water toilets are in the yard?Can't it be reformed if it wants to be reformed?Renovation of the water supply and electrical wiring, these are all problems that can be solved with money, so can they still be called problems?Even, as long as Jia Hongjian wants, he can even change the courtyard in the middle of the quadrangle into a landscape garden. It is not a problem. After entering the gate, the courtyard in the middle is directly a small landscape garden. Jiuqu bridge in one direction.How tasteful is this to live with?How comfortable are you living these days?

On the second day, the two found Ye Jing's classmate, and after inquiring about it, they rushed all the way to the Forbidden City.Ye Jing's classmate is named Liu Shiyuan, and she and Ye Jing have been together since elementary school, and when they were about to part with Ye Jing, Ye Jing invited her directly to travel in Europe, so it can be said that she was Ye Jing The best girlfriend ever!This Liu Shiyuan looks slightly worse than Ye Jing, but he is tall and slender, each of them is taller than Ye Jing, wearing a pair of glasses and looks gentle, similar to Ye Jing's natural vitality and the kind of vitality influenced by American culture The sports style really has its own merits.

I drove all the way to the north of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is actually a shape similar to "A". When Grandpa Mao drove by, he stood on a certain city gate building and announced that "the Chinese people stand up and pull" The city gate building actually entered After that, it is not directly the Forbidden City, but there is also a long strip of land, where there are exhibition halls of the Qing harem, public toilets, restaurants, etc. After passing through this long and narrow area, the next step is a square The real "Forbidden City" is the Meridian Gate, which is the so-called Meridian Gate where "beheading at the Meridian Gate" is launched, and this is the place where tickets for the Palace Museum are officially sold.

The Forbidden City is surrounded by a wide moat. The entire Forbidden City also faces south. The northernmost is the Kunning Palace. The Kunning Palace is in the north, which is the north gate of the Forbidden City.After coming out of the north gate, cross the bridge over the moat, and you will arrive at Jingshan, which is the place where Emperor Chongzhen hung himself on the southeast branch.This place has now become a park, and beside this park is the courtyard that Ye Jing and the others mentioned.It can be said that this courtyard house is only a 5-minute walk away from the north gate of the Forbidden City. Basically, a 5-minute walk out of the courtyard house is the same as the distance from your own home to the gate of the community in later generations, and you will almost arrive at the Forbidden City!

This courtyard house, Jia Hongjian and the others walked in and took a look, only to see that this courtyard house is quite large, covering a total area of ​​about 300 to 400 square meters!After entering through the south door, one does not directly enter the "courtyard" of the courtyard, but directly faces a horizontal "porch" like existence.Only after passing through the porch and veranda can we walk to the real gate of the courtyard.And walking on the east-west veranda, the left side is the south side, and there is directly a south room, also called an upside-down room. It can be said that the whole courtyard is actually a similar "Si" shape.Inside the box on the top of this "si" is the main room and the east and west wing rooms plus a wall with a door, and the small tail below is the real gate to the south and juxtaposed with the south.

Entering this door and taking a look, this courtyard is really not small!At that time, Liu Shiyuan introduced from the side, "There are three main rooms in this yard, and there are east and west side rooms on the left and right, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the north main room like ears, and are juxtaposed with the main room. There are 5 rooms in total. Then there are the east and west wing rooms, which are the left and right sides that are exactly perpendicular to the main room, and there are three rooms in each wing room..."

When Liu Shiyuan introduced, the owner of the house followed them and didn't say anything. It seemed that the owner of the house was a sensible person, knowing that when the people here were talking, he couldn't ramble on about the introduction.

But who knows that after listening to Liu Shiyuan's introduction here, Jia Hongjian suddenly asked, "Does this house... have any historical value?" Yard. The so-called entry refers to several sets. In the past, the officials lived in a house with a wide and bright gate, and a house with three entrances. The three entrances, that is to say, are connected by three courtyards. You can see it in our alley. They are all oriented east-west, so the three entrances extend in the north-south direction. The southernmost one enters the courtyard, which is the outer house, which is used by the owner to work and pick up guests. The last two entrances are the inner house, which is not allowed by outsiders. The place to enter. Our small house itself has only one entrance, and there is no bright gate. Except that this house was built in the Qing Dynasty, the rest has no historical value..."

"Oh...that means I'll tear it all down and build it up according to my own ideas, so it's okay?" Jia Hongjian asked suddenly. (To be continued.)
