On the way to send Wang Yiyuan and Wang Yalan home, Wang Yiyuan suddenly said:

"Well Dong, there is a family that is selling a house in Xiaojiang Hutong, a little north of our house. Do you want to go and take a look?

His house is a two-entry courtyard house with a wide and bright front door, which is great. He said he was selling the house to go to relatives overseas. "

Na Zhiming felt something in his heart. He would have to walk around Yanjing City frequently in the future. It would be a problem if he didn't have a place to stay.

Although it is not particularly suitable to invest in buying a house now, it does not cost much to buy a courtyard house.

Just say:

"Go and have a look."

When he came outside, Na Zhiming fell in love with this small courtyard at first sight.

This is a courtyard house, and this family seems to have a good family background.

Although the courtyard wall looks very old, its original foundation is very good and it doesn't feel dilapidated at all.

On the contrary, the slightly tarnished brick walls and tile eaves reveal a sense of vicissitudes that have gone through years of changes.

There are a pair of copper rings on the door. They are rings made of real brass. They have been pulled and pulled until they shine.

Wang Yiyuan stepped forward and knocked on the door. He had to do this because he was Lao Yanjing.

"Who is it?"

An older man's voice came from the room.

Wang Yiyuan quickly replied loudly:

"You always open the door and talk, I'm here to see the house."

The door opened with a creak, and everyone looked at it. Standing at the door was a very good-looking old man.

A dark coat is worn close to the body, with a taupe-breasted coat on the outside and a pair of black bloomers underneath.

On her feet were a pair of old-fashioned Yanjing cloth shoes, with white soles and white edges that matched the white cuffs.

Wang Yiyuan quickly stepped forward:

"How much does this house cost for you? Can we take a look?"

The old man had a look of concern on his face, as if the people who came to see the house before had not had a good impression on him.

He didn't reply right away, so he turned around and walked inside. Without looking back, he said lightly:

"You can read it, but don't touch it randomly. If you like it after reading it, you can negotiate the price with me."

Then Zhiming was happy. Not only did this old man have a bad temper, but he was also quite hot-tempered.

Everyone made faces at each other and followed the old man in.

Although the old man had a cold face, he was very diligent:

“In the two-entry courtyard houses in Yanjing, the courtyards are basically arranged symmetrically with the houses and courtyards along the north-south central axis.

In general, a courtyard has a partition wall between the south gables of the east and west wings, dividing the courtyard into two parts: the inside and outside.

Set up a smaller second door at the closing point of the barrier wall for entry and exit.

Most of the older second-entry courtyards in Yanjing City are small quadrangle courtyards. Most of them cover a small area, with a width of no more than fifteen or six meters from east to west, and a depth of no more than twenty meters from north to south.

But my courtyard is not that small.

You see, my yard is almost twenty-five meters wide from east to west, and definitely thirty-five meters deep from north to south. "

The main buildings in the outer courtyard are the "inverted seat" of the house facing north, the gate and the toilet.

Entering the inner courtyard, the old man started talking again:

"The south-facing house is the "main house", and some people call it the "upper house." My upper house is also relatively large, with an indoor area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

The houses on the east and west sides are "wing rooms", each of which is about fifteen or six square meters. "

Looking around, the main room and the side rooms are enclosed together, forming a rectangular enclosed courtyard that is slightly longer from north to south.

The bright door opens at the southeast corner of the courtyard. There is a screen wall inside the door, preventing outsiders from seeing what is going on in the courtyard.

“Generally, the smaller second-entry courtyard houses do not have hand-held verandahs, and the second entrance is usually in the form of a screen door.

And my courtyard is a larger one with a second courtyard.

Compared with smaller ones, the layout of my yard is more particular.

The main difference is the width of the area.

Although they are composed of two sets of courtyards inside and outside, there is a "front yard" between my main gate and the second gate, and there is a row of "inverted seats" on the south side of the front yard.

These two doors are also called "hanging flower doors". Look at my decoration.

The inner courtyard of the second gate is called the "inner courtyard", "main courtyard" or "inner courtyard". Once here, it is the center of the courtyard.

In the past, girls from wealthy families "could not go out of the front door, nor step out of the second door", which meant that they could not go out of the hanging flower door.

Enter the square inner courtyard from the outer courtyard through the second gate, and then you arrive at the main courtyard of this quadrangle.

Do you know what the main house on the north side of the main courtyard is called?

Remember, it is called "Tang".

Basically, the main house has three rooms, complying with the regulations issued by the Ming and Qing dynasties that "common people's houses can only have three rooms and five shelves, and brackets and colorful decorations are not allowed."

The rooms connected to the left and right of the main room are called the wing rooms. As you can see, there is a small corner courtyard in front of the wing room, so it is often used as a study room.

This layout of one head and two ears is the standard given by the imperial court and is called "Shamao Wing".

The front edges of the wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard in front of the main house cannot cross the gable of the main house, so the width of the courtyard is moderate and the space feels good.

All doors and windows face the courtyard for security and tranquility.

In the past, the rules of this courtyard house were that the elders lived in the main room, and the younger ones lived in the side rooms.

The reverse side is used as a guest room or servant's quarters, and the side room and courtyard here are used as a kitchen and miscellaneous room. "

"Look, the main room and the side room both face the yard, and both have front porches.

This is called the "Chaoshou Veranda", which connects the "Hanging Flower Gate" to the front porches of these three houses.

Family members can walk along the corridor without going through the open air, even if it rains.

There are several benches and railings beside the corridor. When you have nothing to do, you can sit in the corridor, drink tea and drink, and admire the flowers and trees in the courtyard. "

“With this layout, the main room, the verandahs of the wing rooms, the hand-painted veranda and the hanging flower door together form the circular passage of the inner courtyard.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this kind of courtyard house with hand-curved verandahs and hanging flower doors could only be owned by people of very high status among the people.

Generally speaking, my yard can be regarded as a house of a certain scale and quite elegant. "

Na Zhiming looked at the two small gardens with an area of ​​almost [-] square meters and the two old peach trees that had grown for unknown years, and felt extremely satisfied.

The old man saw that Na Zhiming had been following him closely, and he kept nodding in agreement while listening to his speech, which felt very useful.

He put down the worry on his face and said to Na Zhiming sincerely:

“I think you’re a little bit pleasing to the eye, so I’d like to give you a reminder.

My ancestors spent a lot of money to get these two peach trees back. It is said that they were seven or eight hundred years old when they were moved here. Now they are at least over a thousand years old. "
