The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"All my younger sisters have arrived."

Just then, a Bentley pulled up at the door. Gao Yuanyuan got out of the car, looked at Liu Yifei, Dong Xuan, Jessica, Fan Bingbing, An Yixuan, and Shu Chang, and greeted them with a smile.

Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing both frowned subconsciously at the term "younger sister".

She wouldn't mind if it were a normal form of address.

The main problem was Gao Yuanyuan's attitude; she acted as if she were the "older sister" of everyone in the Lin family, which was really unpleasant.

"He really is brainless."

Fan Bingbing glanced at Gao Yuanyuan with a hint of disdain.

With her methods, she would never stoop to Gao Yuanyuan's naive tactics.

Do you think that by taking the initiative and calling everyone "little sister," you've truly become the eldest sister?

……

"Before my husband went to film, he told me to bring my girlfriends here to take a look at the layout. If there are no objections, we'll rush to meet the deadline and try to get everyone moving in before the end of the year."

Liu Yifei led the other women through the open gate of the courtyard house.

This is a five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) that Lin Bufan signed in at. Later, because he felt it was still a bit too small, he bought the siheyuan next door, opened it up, and rebuilt it.

First, after they entered through the main gate, they entered the courtyard.

"This is the first courtyard, used for receiving guests."

Normally, the courtyard is not very big, but that is for ordinary courtyards. This courtyard is the standard of a royal courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, the layout is divided into left and right sides after entering through the main gate. On the left, after passing through a small moon gate, there is a relatively independent space.

There are three rooms in total: a reception room, a tea room, and an outer study, all used for receiving guests and chatting.

Walk to the right, and at the very back there is a small side door. Near the side door is an outer kitchen, where food is cooked, for example, when entertaining ordinary guests.

In addition, there is an entertainment room and a restaurant that can seat 20 people.

Inside the entertainment room, there are two mahjong machines and a card table. People can play mahjong for leisure or entertain guests.

"Sister Sisi, where do we park our car?"

An Yixuan looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.

The courtyard is used to entertain guests, but what about everyone's cars? Where should we park them?

"The underground parking lot!"

Liu Yifei looked at An Yixuan as a matter of course.

"Underground parking?"

Dong Xuan and the others looked at Liu Yifei with some confusion.

"Back then, due to special circumstances, air-raid shelters were dug under all the courtyard houses in Beijing..." Liu Yifei explained to the group.

Initially, Liu Yifei didn't know either, and even Lin Bufan was unaware.

It was only after the renovation company entered the site and during the initial renovations that the underground space was discovered. It was an underground space that covered almost the entire area of ​​the courtyard house.

"The parking lot entrance is right here!"

Liu Yifei led the girls to the outside of the courtyard house and pointed to a gate on the far north side: "Once this gate is opened, there will be a passage leading directly to the underground parking lot."

Of course, this parking lot is for private cars, and it's quite spacious. It can easily accommodate around a hundred cars.

If they are visitors from outside, they can park at the entrance of the courtyard house.

There is a large area in front of the courtyard house, which can easily accommodate ten cars without any problem.

The girls were relieved after finding out about the parking lot; otherwise, they were worried that since they would all be living together, they would definitely need to drive to and from the parking lot.

Where you park your car is a very important thing.

"Let's go, let's continue our tour of the courtyard houses!"

As Liu Yifei spoke, she led the group back into the courtyard. This time, they went directly through the hanging flower gate into the second courtyard.

"From the second courtyard onwards, this place has become an important location for our Lin family."

The courtyard house has three main rooms directly opposite, which is where the Lin family holds important family meetings and where major events are announced.

"Xixi, what are those two side rooms on the left and right used for?" Fan Bingbing looked around and then looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.

This was her first time visiting this courtyard house, so she was naturally quite curious, since it would be their home in the future.

"Naturally, this is where the servants live."

The courtyard house is so big, it's not realistic to expect them to clean it themselves.

Therefore, it was necessary to hire servants to clean the house and even take care of the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard.

"No wonder!"

Fan Bingbing nodded slightly.

The left and right wing rooms all have large communal sleeping areas, and each wing room can accommodate more than 10 people. There are also indoor toilets where you can use the toilet and take a shower.

"Wait a minute, why does this second courtyard look so small?" Shu Chang, who was standing to the side, suddenly looked at Liu Yifei with some doubt.

This second courtyard, though seemingly large, is actually quite small compared to the first courtyard.

"Singing, you're right!"

Liu Yifei first gave Shu Chang an affirming look, and then explained, "Our family's courtyard house is different from other courtyard houses. It doesn't have two, three, or four courtyards. Instead, the layout has been rearranged."

A typical courtyard house consists of one, two, three, four, or even five courtyards, just like when Lin Bufan first signed in.

But now, this super-large courtyard house has undergone a complete transformation.

Originally, the five-courtyard house that Lin Bufan signed for was only about 5500 square meters. Later, he felt it was too small, so he bought the two surrounding courtyard houses and combined them together, expanding the area to 18 mu, or 1.2 square meters.

At that time, it cost Lin Bufan more than 80 million.

But who knew that just three months ago, the courtyard house closest to the innermost part of this road was also put up for sale for just over 30 million, and Lin Bufan bought it.

Now, there are four courtyard houses connected together, with a total area of ​​1.35 square meters. Later, this courtyard house was not large, only about 1500 square meters.

Now, after the renovation, the first courtyard of this siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) covers an area of ​​about 1000 square meters, while the second courtyard looks to be only about 800 square meters, which is smaller than the first courtyard.

"This is because our family has demolished part of the second courtyard, the third courtyard, and the fourth courtyard, and built a total of 49 small courtyards."

Each courtyard is about 180 square meters on average. If you include the passageway, the total area of ​​each courtyard is about 200 square meters.
