Chapter 420 Come out, Siheyuan



 A private room in Laifu Hotel.

The reason why Pei's mother proposed to marry her daughter and wanted to hold the wedding in the capital was not because she wanted to embarrass the groom's family, nor because she disliked the groom's family being from the countryside, but because a family like the Pei family would only hire some high-status people to marry their daughter. It is indeed inappropriate for guests to travel all the way to a rural place like Guangxi to attend a wedding.

The main reason is that they are so far apart. A round trip plus attending the wedding will take at least three days. This is based on the fact that the flight time is suitable. If the flight time does not match up, I am afraid that the days will still be Keep adding more.

How can leaders have so much time to spend so much time attending your wedding?

But if the wedding is held in the capital, it will be different. You only need to spare two or three hours to attend the wedding. In this case, as long as the relationship is good, I believe that the guests invited by the Pei family will give it the honor to attend.

After making this request, Pei's father and Pei's mother looked at Deng Shirong, mainly because they were afraid that he would not be happy.

After all, customs and habits vary from place to place. Although Pei's mother doesn't think her request is too much, she still has to consider the man's wishes. If the man is willing, then everyone will be happy. If he is not willing, then forget it. No. Force.

 At worst, when my daughter gets married, I can just go to the wedding with my family.

It is in this day and age that Pei's mother is confused about where to hold her wedding. Like many couples in later generations who get married, they usually hold two or even three weddings, one each at the man's family and the woman's home, and then at the workplace. Each show invites different guests.

 The advantage of this is naturally that it is convenient for most guests, so that they can attend the wedding nearby, without having to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to attend the wedding.

The bad thing is that it is too tiring. After three weddings, the bride and groom are almost exhausted.

Deng Shirong originally thought that the girl’s parents would make some difficult demands, but this is the result?

He immediately responded without hesitation: "No problem, let them hold the wedding in the capital!"

Father and mother Pei both smiled when they saw this. It seemed that their future in-laws were quite reasonable and did not use customs and habits to make trouble.

After Deng Shirong agreed, he continued to ask: "Relatives, do you have any requirements in terms of betrothal gifts?"

Mother Pei smiled and said: "As for the bride price, we don't have any requirements. Our family doesn't lack anything. Just follow the regular etiquette."

Deng Shirong nodded, and then said: "Since the wedding is going to be held in Beijing, I have to find someone to decorate the house in Beijing. This will take a lot of time. It is almost August now. If you choose to get married this year, the time will be I’m so nervous. I suggest setting the wedding date for next year. What do you think, relatives?”

Pei's mother was shocked when she heard this: "Relative, do you still have a house in the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the Pei family was curious, but even Deng Yunsong was curious. He really didn't know that his family also had a house in the capital.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Yes, I bought a house in Beijing a few years ago. After I finish decorating the house, I will leave it to Xiao Song and Xiao Pei."

Pei's mother and Pei's father looked at each other. The couple had already discussed that if the groom's parents agreed to hold the wedding in the capital, the wedding would be held in their old house of the Pei family and a chef would be invited to cook it. Just serve a few tables of dishes and invite a few tables of important guests.

I didn’t expect that the groom’s family also has a house in the capital, so it would be difficult to find the Pei family’s old house as the venue for the wedding.

Although their old house of the Pei family is a second-level courtyard with a relatively large area, which is suitable for holding weddings, they also have to take care of the groom's family's face. Since ancient times, unless the marriage is a bride-in-law, the groom's family has been the main party in hosting the wedding. Naturally, they cannot ignore this rule just because their family is better off than the groom's family.

 If it doesn’t work out, just hold your daughter’s wedding in a hotel!

With this thought in mind, Pei's mother said, "Relative, since you have a house in the capital, you will host the wedding."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "We can discuss these slowly next. If you, relatives, have any suggestions, please feel free to put them forward. Anyway, our purpose is the same. We all hope to organize a successful wedding for the young couple."

Father Pei and Mother Pei felt very comfortable after hearing this. There was really nothing to say about the attitude of the other party.

 After final discussion, the wedding date of Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua is tentatively scheduled for May next year. For the specific details, they need to find an auspicious date.

 After the auspicious date is decided, the two parties will discuss the treat.

 After finishing the meal, the two sides had almost finished their discussion.

Deng Shirong asked his son to pay the bill, and he handed the tobacco, wine, tea and three kinds of cans he made to Pei's father and mother, and said with a smile: "Relatives, these tobacco, wine, tea are all specialties of our Bobai County, and these cans are I made it myself, take it back and try it to see how it tastes.”

Pei's father and Pei's mother refused several times before accepting the things.

 After some more polite exchanges, the two families left.

This Laifu Hotel is not far from the family home where the Pei family lives, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.

After the three members of the Pei family brought the gifts home, Pei's mother couldn't help but said: "It seems that we have underestimated Xiaosong's father before."

Pei's father then said: "That vision and knowledge are indeed not ordinary people's!"

Mother Pei looked at her daughter and said, "Qinghua, has Xiaosong ever told you what his father does?"

Pei Qinghua shook his head and said, "I only know that Uncle Deng is in business. I haven't asked him about the specific business."

Mother Pei glanced at her: "Why don't you ask?"

Pei Qinghua blinked: "What's there to ask? Anyway, I know that Uncle Deng is in business and the family is not short of money. Why ask in such detail? I have been with Yunsong for so long, and I am even sure When it comes to dating, he hasn't asked you what you do for a living.

If you hadn’t invited him to your house for dinner, he wouldn’t even know that my dad is the boss here! "

“It seems that our Qinghua family wants to be a woman in the new era, a representative of free love!”

Father Pei joked at first, and then praised him: "However, it would be good if the feelings are pure."

 …

On the other side, Deng Yunsong asked: "Dad, when did you buy a house in Beijing?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I bought it when your second brother was studying in the capital. I saw that the price of the house was not expensive at that time, and I didn't know whether your second brother would live in the capital in the future. So I bought a suitable house first. , Aren’t you going to use it now?”

Deng Yunsong's eyes widened and he said, "Dad, you are really good at hiding things. It has been so many years since we bought the house, but you can still resist telling us."

Deng Shirong said: "After you and your second brother started working, you were assigned a house by your work unit. Since you can't use this house, there's no point telling you."

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "That's true. Dad, what kind of house did you buy?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I bought a courtyard house. How about I take you to see it first? From now on, this house will be yours. If you want to decorate it, discuss it with Qinghua later, and then I will hire someone to decorate it." "

Deng Yunsong was surprised and said: "Siheyuan? When did you enter?"

Deng Shirong said: "Three advanced ones."

 “A courtyard with three entrances?”

Deng Yunsong was really shocked when he heard this. Although in this era, the comfort of the quadrangle is not as good as the building in their unit, but the quadrangle also has the advantages of the quadrangle, especially the three-level quadrangle, which has a very large area.

In ancient times, anyone who could live in a courtyard house for three or three years was considered a wealthy family.

Unexpectedly, my father had built a courtyard house with three entrances in the capital several years ago. This was a far-sighted vision.

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's just a three-in-one courtyard house. It wasn't worth much when I bought it. But as the country develops, the house will definitely become more and more valuable. This is the capital after all. In the future This courtyard house may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.”

 “Is it worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?”

Deng Yunsong gasped. He was frightened by his father's judgment.

In this era, no matter how far-sighted people are, they would never dare to make such an outrageous judgment. If a three-in-one courtyard house is worth tens or even hundreds of millions, then how far will our country have to develop?

Thinking of the increasing international influence of his motherland before his rebirth, Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "I just made a bold guess. This is a judgment based on the rise of our motherland. As long as our country can become strong again, then what will happen to this house?" The value will naturally rise with the tide.”

 “How wonderful it would be if we could really see that day!”

“We will definitely see it. Our Chinese nation has thousands of years of history and has stood at the top of the world for most of the time. The time at the bottom is short-lived. I believe we will be able to rise again soon.”

 …

Siheyuan is a unique traditional courtyard building in my country with a history of more than 3,000 years.

A complete courtyard is a three-entry courtyard. The first courtyard is a narrow courtyard in front of the hanging flower gate and is occupied by an inverted room. The second courtyard is composed of wing rooms, main rooms, and verandahs. Side rooms can be added next to the main room and wing rooms. The third courtyard is a courtyard with three entrances. The entrance room is the back room behind the main house. A door is opened in the east side room of the main house, connecting the second and third entrances. In the whole courtyard, the old man lives in the north room (upper room), with a large living room (nave room) in the middle. The eldest son lives in the east wing, the second son lives in the west wing, the servant lives in the reverse room, and the daughter lives in the backyard, without affecting each other.

Deng Yunsong followed his father through the door of the house, and faced the screen wall.

 The screen wall has the function of blocking the view of outsiders. Even if the door is open, outsiders cannot see inside the house. It can also enhance the atmosphere and increase the momentum of the house.

The screen wall in the shape of a line inside the house door is called a screen wall. Some are independent from the gables or partition walls of the wing rooms and are called independent screen walls. Some have small wall caps built directly on the gable walls of the wing rooms and make screen wall switches. It is called a mountain screen wall.

"Praise for the Residence" says that "the opposite side is a eight-shaped screen wall with polished bricks and seams", which refers to a type of eight-shaped screen wall standing opposite the house door, which is called the Yanqi screen wall.

 Its main function is to tell others: My family is rich, rich and willful!

The screen wall in front of Deng Shirong and his son is the Goose Wing Screen Wall.

Deng Yunsong studied in the capital for four years and stayed here to work for another year. Naturally, he was no stranger to courtyards. However, the courtyards he had seen before were either super courtyards like the Forbidden City, super luxurious courtyards like the Royal Palace, or It's the courtyard as soon as you enter.

This is the first time Deng Yunsong has seen such a complete courtyard with three entrances.

After taking a look at this awesome goose-wing screen wall, the father and son walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate, which is the door between the first and second entrances. It is also the most beautiful and most prestigious door in the entire courtyard.

In the four famous works "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is described as follows when Lin Daiyu first entered the Jia Mansion: "All the women walked around and fell in front of a hanging flower door. The servants left, and the women came up to raise the curtain of the sedan chair and help Daiyu. After getting off the sedan, Lin Daiyu held her mother-in-law's hand and entered the hanging flower door. There were corridors on both sides, and in the middle was a large marble screen with a red sandalwood frame. "

Due to structural reasons, the two front eaves columns of the hanging flower door can be suspended in the air without landing on the ground. The two hanging stigmas are carved with shapes such as lotus petals, beads or pomegranate heads, which resemble a pair of buds waiting to bloom. This pair of short The column is called the "Hanging Lotus Column", and the Hanging Flower Gate is also named after this.

Most hanging flower doors use a "one hall, one roll" roof, that is, the outer part of the door is a hanging mountain top with a clear water ridge, and the inner part of the door is a rolling shed roof, and the two are connected and overlapped. The space under the roof is like a small house, with doors at the front and back, and connected to the left and right corridors.

 A hanging flower door condenses almost all the elements of Chinese architecture.

 “It’s so beautiful!” Deng Yunsong was amazed when he saw it.

There are usually four doors facing the courtyard. They are usually closed and painted green. These are the four green screens. This "second door" refers to the hanging flower door. In the past, ladies from wealthy families were described as "not going out of the front door, not stepping out of the second door", which meant that they never stepped out of the hanging flower door to go outside.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, you will enter the second courtyard. There is no need to open the hanging flower gate in rainy or snowy weather or when there are no important activities. When entering the main courtyard, you have to pass through the Chaoshou Veranda. This circle of corridors connects the hanging flower door and the east and west wing rooms along the periphery of the inner courtyard, and directly leads to the main room. It is named because it resembles the shape of a person's hands.

In addition to the main courtyards of the inner and outer houses, a quadrangle also forms some small courtyards, such as the small courtyards in front of the side rooms on both sides of the main house, and the small courtyards on both sides of the outer courtyard separated by screen doors. There are cross-shaped corridors in the courtyard of the inner house. In the past, most of the residents would plant trees in the courtyard. Except for pine, cypress and poplar, which cannot be planted because they are in cemeteries, other trees are also planted.

 In the past, there was a folk proverb in the capital: "If you grow mulberry, pine, cypress, pear, and locust tree, you will not enter the prince's house." This refers to the taboo of planting trees in the courtyard.

 The more common trees include jujube trees, persimmon trees, etc. The main flowers and trees include peony, peony, magnolia, lilac, crabapple, wisteria, pomegranate, etc. Jujube trees and pomegranate trees mean early birth of precious children and many children and grandchildren. Persimmon trees represent everything goes well. Planting lilacs and crabapples indicates that the owner has status and a certain level of cultural accomplishment.

After touring the entire courtyard, Deng Yunsong said with emotion: "It is indeed a residence of a wealthy family. It is really grand."

Deng Shirong said: "It is not convenient to live in this courtyard now. I am going to ask someone to install it with modern equipment as much as possible without changing the architectural pattern and style. At least the necessary things such as floor heating, running water, toilets, lighting, etc. must be provided." , which makes living more comfortable.

There are still places that should be repaired, and they need to be repaired. You can also discuss them with Xiao Pei later and put forward any ideas you have. "

Deng Yunsong shook his head and said, "Dad, you have already thought about it very carefully."

 …

After deciding to renovate the courtyards, Deng Shirong contacted the highly skilled decoration team through Dean Huang of the Nanning Architectural Design Institute and asked them to repair and decorate the seven courtyards in the capital according to his requirements.

 Yes, since it is necessary to renovate, it is natural not to decorate only one courtyard, but to decorate all seven courtyards.

 Because the third son’s courtyard house will be used for his wedding, he took the lead in decorating it.

After explaining everything clearly, Deng Shirong said hello to his third son and got on the infamous K3 international train.

 This K3 train is the first foreign-related train launched after the founding of our country. It started running in 1960, starting from the capital, passing through Mongolia, and finally arriving at its destination, Moscow. The entire train covers a total distance of 7,826 kilometers and runs for 130 hours and 41 minutes. It is the longest train in my country and is known as the "No. 1 train in China".

The reason why this train is notorious in later generations is that in May 1993, a major case that shocked China and the world occurred on this train. The passengers on the train were robbed by three groups of robbers in turn, and many women were also robbed by that train. What, many people were beaten and stabbed, and some were even killed.

 Actually, before this case occurred, various robberies and other cases occurred from time to time, and the reputation of this train was already very bad.

Many Chinese tourists traveling between the capital and Moscow locked the doors of their private rooms with iron chains and ate, drank and slept in them. They did not dare to open the door for six days and six nights.

Even though this train is extremely dangerous, countless dealers still take this train to Moscow. It is really very profitable to resell goods between the two places in this era. This high return makes these dealers willing to take all risks.

At this time, Big Brother is on the verge of disintegration, and many dealers are already traveling between the two places to transfer supplies.

The train was full of goods carried by trespassers, and there were very few passengers like Deng Shirong who only carried one suitcase.

After Deng Shirong got in the car, he began to think about this trip to Moscow. What could he plunder to make a fortune without leaving any trace?

 After thinking for a while, Deng Shirong identified some targets, namely gold, jewelry, US dollars, oil, grain, fine wine, poultry, livestock, edible oil, aquatic products, steel, cement, rare earths, etc.

These are things that are difficult to trace. He can safely take them into the space. As long as there are enough, they will naturally be a huge wealth.

 There are also industrial equipment, which can also be collected in small quantities.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong had a clue in his mind that he could act according to the opportunity and specifically plunder state-owned assets and the assets of high-ranking officials, leaving aside the assets of ordinary people and small businessmen.

 …

The journey was uneventful, and Deng Shirong arrived in Moscow successfully six days later.

In the next month and a half, Deng Shirong transformed into the most powerful thief in the world, constantly harvesting Big Brother's wealth.

He does not collect wealth indiscriminately, but first collects wealth that is secret and difficult to be discovered, such as gold, jewelry, dollars and other valuables stored in vaults and safes. These things are even lost unless someone happens to open them. Look, otherwise it won't be discovered for a long time.

There are also grains, fine wines, edible oils, steel, cement, rare earths, etc. stored in warehouses.

 These things will only be discovered when they are used.

 After all the wealth has been collected, we can start collecting things that are easily discovered.

At this point, a month has passed. As these easily discovered wealth were collected, huge turmoil soon occurred, making the already turbulent Big Brother even worse.

Just when the "earthquake" began in Moscow, Deng Shirong was already contentedly getting on the train back.

This trip to Moscow was really rewarding, and I achieved my goal of getting rich.

Not to mention anything else, Deng Shirong got more than 50 tons of gold alone, and several tons of other jewelry. He didn't know exactly how much it was worth, more than 10 million U.S. dollars, more than 10,000 tons of oil, and more than 100 tons of steel. million tons, including more than 800,000 tons of cement.

There are other things as well, and the amounts collected are also extremely astonishing.

 In short, the wealth harvested this time, if converted into RMB, would be an astronomical figure.

Of course, Deng Shirong will definitely not use this windfall in the short term.

Although there are no surveillance videos in this era, and his methods are mysterious and unpredictable, no one can grasp the clues, but if you rush to get rid of these things, you will definitely get angry. After all, there is too much movement.

However, as long as the timeline is extended and some supplies are sold quietly, it can be done without anyone noticing.

Back in the capital, Deng Shirong first took a look at the renovation of the courtyard house and found that the progress was very gratifying. He estimated that the renovation of his third son's courtyard house would be completed in about a month.

As for the decoration of other courtyard houses, there is no rush at all. After all, it is impossible for other children to live in the capital in a short time, and they will only be vacant after decoration.

Deng Shirong didn't contact his children for such a long time. In order not to worry them, Deng Shirong called them one by one.

The other children were fine, but when I talked to my younger daughter on the phone, I got an unexpected news.

Deng Yunzhu said: "Dad, Uncle Zhou wants to come and visit you to discuss Zhou Haidong's marriage with me."

Deng Shirong asked: "Azhu, you have been dating Haidong for some time. How do you feel?"

Deng Yunzhu said: "It seems to be okay so far."

Deng Shirong said: "Okay, I understand. Let's wait until I return to Nanning."
