Chapter 182

Chuchen said with a smile: "uncle, don't bother any more. Just like ancient people, they don't know that the earth is round. Sooner or later, someone will be able to solve the mystery. Now that we can't figure it out, just enjoy it. "

Zhao Qirui nodded and said, "ah Chen, you're right. We're not scientists. It's important to pay attention to what's going on in front of us..."

Zhao Qirui has two main properties in Beijing, one in Xishan and the other in inner city. Xishan is a villa, needless to say, and inner city is a large quadrangle with an area of more than 2000 square meters.

To tell you the truth, chuchen had planned to buy a villa in Xishan because he wanted to get close to nature. However, although the environment there was superior, the price was too expensive and the transportation was not convenient. Although the Fifth Ring Road was about to be completed and opened to traffic, chuchen still felt that the road there was really far away. The most important thing was that Liu didn't live there. It was a city East, a city west, too affect their usual communication.

Although Zhao Qirui bought the villa in Xishan, he usually lives in the inner city courtyard for more time. It's convenient for him, and he also has a show of mind. It's really impossible for ordinary people to buy such a large courtyard in the inner city these days.

Although the government has no means to buy more than two thousand square meters of scenic area, it is not the only way for you to buy more than one day.

The rarity is the most important thing, and the best thing is what you can't get. Nowadays, many noble and influential people, who have some ideas, are proud to have a courtyard in the inner city. So it's no surprise that Zhao Qirui often chooses to live here. To receive friends can also add some light to his face, isn't it?

When he got home, instead of rushing to enjoy the magical painting, Zhao Qirui first took Chu Chen around his courtyard.

Zhao Qirui's Siheyuan was originally a Siheyuan with four entrances. However, when he bought it, it was in disrepair for a long time and he could not live at all. So after he bought it, he directly demolished the siheyuan and rebuilt it.

The style of the new courtyard is the same as that of the old capital, and it uses special ancient building materials. However, because of its large area, and considering that his family is not many, even if his relatives come, it is impossible to live in dozens of houses, so he transformed it into a five entrance courtyard with a garden.

Although the courtyard was demolished and rebuilt, it was also carefully designed by architectural experts from the famous University of ancient architecture. Therefore, all the details can show the flavor of the courtyard in the old capital.

Chu Chen's eyes were first seen by two high-profile doors in vermilion color. On both sides of the door were placed a drum holding stone. The door leaf was located in the central pillar, which divided the veranda into two parts.

There are plaques on the four door hairpins, sparrows under the purlin of the front eaves column, upside down lintels on the back eaves column, half room space in front of the door, and all the beams are exposed, which looks very imposing and unique.

Seeing Chu Chen's admiration, Zhao Qirui explained with a smile: "this kind of gate is called Guangliang gate. In ancient times, only official grade houses can be used. The only one higher than it is the gate of the palace, but it's too luxurious. I didn't choose it at the beginning."

"Uncle, what's the use of the extra space outside the door?"

"It's very simple. You think that at the beginning, this kind of house was the official's house. There must be a guard in front of the door. This extra half room space was for these people. It can be guarded by four security sub stations on both sides. In addition to protection, it can also show the noble level of the owner. "

Then, Zhao Qirui introduced the characteristics of Guangliang gate to Chu Chen. After a brief introduction, Chu Chen not only developed his knowledge, but also sighed that there are so many stresses on a gate alone. It can be seen that it is very reasonable to hear people say that the courtyard contains profound cultural connotation.

Push open the gate and you will see a screen wall at the end.

Zhaobi, the ancients called it "Xiaobi". In the old days, people thought that ghosts were constantly visiting their houses, because it was said that little ghosts could only walk in a straight line and could not turn around. If they built a wall, they could cut off the way of ghosts. There is also a saying that Zhaobi is a unique architectural form influenced by Fengshui consciousness in China, which is called "shadow wall" or "screen wall".

After passing the screen wall and entering the first door is the first entrance to the courtyard. The room here is called the inverted room. In traditional Chinese architecture, this kind of room is opposite to the main room and faces north from the south, so it is also called the south room. Therefore, the lighting of this kind of house is not good, so it is generally used as guest room or servant house, but now there is not so much attention.

Opposite to the inverted room is an antique two roll vertical flower gate. Chu Chen listened to Zhao Qirui's introduction. Because the eaves column does not fall to the ground and hangs under the eaves, it is called the vertical column. There is a drop bead under it. It is usually painted in the form of petals, so it is called the vertical flower gate.

Chuihuamen is generally the dividing line and the only channel between the inner courtyard and the front courtyard. After passing here, it is the inner courtyard, that is, the second entrance. In the second entrance, there are three main halls, some wing rooms and some ear rooms. In the east of the second entrance, there are two volumes connecting the hall, which leads to the east garden.The third entrance to the courtyard is the main room courtyard, which is connected by the corner corridor. There are also several main rooms and ear rooms. The difference is that there are no wing rooms. The East corridor of the third entrance to the courtyard is connected with a horizontal corridor, which also leads to the garden. The structure and layout of each house in the fourth entrance are the same as those in the second entrance.

The last room to enter the hospital is all the back room, because it is in the last place, which is relatively secret, and it is usually the place where daughters and maids live.

Regular quadrangles, especially large ones, usually have a lot of back rooms. However, considering that his family can't use so many rooms at all, Zhao Qirui has made some changes, adding some ancient buildings that don't destroy the characteristics of quadrangles, adding some fun to the last one.

In addition, we have to mention the east garden. The garden here can be said to be a small garden. It is different from the style of Jiangnan garden like the small bridge and flowing water in chuchen. It is a garden centered on the style of northern garden. It looks quite grand and powerful.

However, some small elements of Jiangnan garden are added to the garden, and the whole garden is likely to be designed by experts. Adding these elements is not abrupt, but the whole garden is decorated with hardness and softness, reflecting the feeling of iron man and tenderness, which can be said to be just right.

The whole courtyard is spacious, sunny and has a broad vision. With its unique cultural connotation and unique style garden, living here will make people feel quiet and comfortable. This kind of living environment made chuchen really envious.

Seeing this, Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "ah Chen, do you want to find a courtyard with such an area for you?"

Listen to uncle say so, let Chu Chen can't help some idea move, but immediately reaction, smile: "uncle, I have bought a new villa, how can I buy courtyard."

Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said with a smile: "who stipulates that if you buy a villa, you can't buy a quadrangle. If you worry about the lack of money, ah Chen, I'll help you cushion it first."

Chuchen thought about it, and his uncle was right. Even if he didn't necessarily live in Siheyuan, it would be good to buy it first, and then it would be a good investment. Now ordinary commercial houses are rising so much, not to mention Siheyuan, which is a precious resource?

After all, uncle Zhao is just a person who doesn't like to borrow money from others, but it has nothing to do with him now.

"Uncle, I've been waiting for some time. I haven't thought about it yet."

Seeing Chu Chen's hesitant expression, Zhao Qirui also guessed Chu Chen's idea. He was too sophisticated to persuade him. He just made up his mind and asked ah Chao to buy the courtyard. At that time, ah Chen had already sold it to others.

"Well, if you want to buy it then, just come to me..."

Next, Chu Chen followed Zhao Qirui to the living room and saw a dignified and gentle woman about 40 years old sitting on the sofa watching TV. As soon as she saw them coming in, she immediately stood up from the sofa, walked up to them, and asked with a smile:

"is this a Chen, Qirui? I didn't expect to have grown so big. At the beginning, it was just around my waist. " Then she compared Chu Chen's height.

"Ah Chen, this is your aunt Gao Yiya. When we were in love, we often went to the park together."

"Good aunt!"

Chu Chen first said hello, and then scratched his head, some embarrassed said: "I'm sorry, I forgot all the things back then."

Gao Yiya said with a smile: "what's wrong with this? Although you were silly and cute at that time, it's better to be smart like now. Of course, smart is smart, but don't play smart like your uncle."

"Little smart?" This sentence made chuchen more or less confused and didn't understand what his aunt meant.

"Well, don't mention it. Let's get down to business first." Seeing this, Zhao Qirui quickly changed the topic with embarrassment.
