Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Master, long time no see. Good luck to you, old lady." After a while, Shitou led Lei Laoer in, followed by a young man about twenty years old.

After coming in, Lei Laoer saw Jiang Yan sitting under the grapevine and said hello to Grandma Lu.

Jiang Yan is now very famous in this quadrangle. He is not only an SL international student, but also the chief engineer of the steel rolling mill. There is a person working in the steel rolling mill in his own yard who highly respects Jiang Yan.

Lei Laoer, who was well-informed, could not have known that he had once thought of coming over to visit Jiang Yan, but he gave up because he had no good excuse.

Now that Jiang Yan was looking for him, he would come over without any hesitation.

Jiang Yan took a look at Lei Laoer from the moment he walked in. Compared with five years ago, Lei Laoer was much older, and his originally straight waist was actually a little bent! There are also some patches on the clothes on his body. It seems that he has had a hard time in the past few years.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle Lei. Didn't I tell you before, don't call me Young Master? In the new society, you can either call me Xiao Jiang or Comrade Jiang Yan."

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Lei Laoer said, "Then let's call you Comrade Jiang!"

"Come on, Uncle Lei, don't introduce me to the guy behind you."

"Oh oh oh! You see, I am so happy and confused when I see you. This is Lei Yuanchao, my eldest brother's child. Follow me now."

After hearing his second uncle introduce him, the child shyly greeted Jiang Yan.

"Uncle Lei, I want to repair my door again."

The small door of Jiang Yan's courtyard is equivalent to the side door of a courtyard. It is relatively small, and it is a bit difficult to push the "Wanderer" in.

He Yuzhu and the others happened to be renovating their house, so they wanted to expand the front door of their home.

Now that I have a "Wangzi" who will not be able to get a car when he reaches his level, I have to prepare for a rainy day.

“I don’t know how to repair this gate, whether to expand it based on the side gate or just turn it into a new gate.”

Lei Laoer looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

After listening to Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan thought for a while and said to him: "Let's just make it a main door! But the door needs to be wider. Give me a slope to facilitate the entry of vehicles. Leave me a space on the right side of the door. Come out to a position so that I can stop the "chaos".

"This is an easy job, no problem, it only takes a few days, but what kind of door are we installing?"

"There's something special about installing the gate." Jiang Yan asked curiously.

"That's not true."

"Uncle Lei, sit down, why are stones so dull? Hurry and pour some tea for Uncle Lei."

Jiang Yan turned around and ordered Shi Shi who was sitting next to him.

After Lei Lao's second uncle and nephew sat down. Jiang Yan spoke again: "Uncle Lei, can you explain it to me carefully so that I can gain insights?"

"No problem at all."

After saying this, Lei Laoer took a sip of the tea brewed by the stone and said, "Let's talk about this courtyard first."

"When we were building courtyard houses some time ago, we Sijiucheng people were taboo that the ground in the courtyard should be lower than the ground in alleys and streets. The reason was that as soon as you entered the house, you had to "jump into the toad pit", and when you went out, you had to go from low to high, like climbing a mountain. It is unlucky, so when building a courtyard, the foundation must be higher than the ground and the pillar base must be strong.”

"The door of a courtyard house is also very particular. It is the face of the owner and a symbol of the family's status. There was a popular saying in the past: "The higher the threshold, the harder it is to enter." "It's the gate of our Siheyuan in Sijiu City."

"The gates of our Siheyuan in Sijiucheng are divided into six types according to their styles."

After Lei Laoer said this, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Seeing Jiang Yan and the others listening carefully, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He put down the water glass, cleared his throat and spoke.

"The first type is called Guangliang Gate. "Guangliang", as the name suggests, means spacious and bright. When it comes to the level of "door", in addition to the palace gate and the palace gate, it is Guangliang Gate. Guangliang Gate is the most One of the most obvious signs is that the door is opened at the center pillar of the courtyard, and the entire corridor looks like a room."

"Excuse me, please bring me a pen and paper."

Hearing Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan gestured to Shitou, who turned around and went back into the house to get paper and pen.

After Lei Laoer took the paper and pen, he drew the appearance of Guangliang Gate on the paper.

Then Lei Laoer introduced the Jinzhu Gate, the "Manzi Gate", the Ruyi Gate, the wall-style gate and the Western-style gate.

When Lei Laoer introduced each style of door, he drew this style of door.

I have to say that Lei Laoer's painting skills are very solid, and he pays special attention to realism. Looking at his paintings is like seeing a real door.

After listening to Lei Laoer's introduction, Jiang Yan sighed in his heart: "The people in this Forty-Nine City are really particular."

Jiang Yan remembered what others said on the Internet in his previous life: "In the lives of people in Laosijiucheng, there are many etiquette and attention to detail. When dressing, you need to wear time-honored brands, when eating, you need to look at old craftsmanship, when housing, you need to pay attention to the north and south courtyards, and when you meet acquaintances on the road, you shout "you"."

Many people say that the people from Jiucheng, the fourth generation, are poor and fastidious, but in Jiang Yan's opinion, it is not so much that they are fastidious as it is that they understand the rules and have a bottom line.

Perhaps with the passage of time, Sijiucheng's long history and these rules are still making waves in the hearts of Sijiucheng people. With the development, they still maintain this kind of taste and be themselves with heart, never forget the original intention, and put this into practice. This exquisite culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Sijiucheng people.

Seeing these gates of different shapes, Jiang Yan had a hard time making a choice. To be honest, if this happened in future generations, he would definitely choose the Guangliang gate. Not only did this gate look impressive, it also had a good meaning. .

But when I think about it, ten years from now will be a period of storm. If a knowledgeable person sees the front door of my home, it will probably cause some waves. It is better for me to keep a low profile regarding my qualifications.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said directly to Lei Laoer, "Uncle Lei, you are more experienced in this. You can see which kind of gate I can install. It's best to keep a low profile."

Lei Laoer instantly understood what Jiang Yan meant. After thinking about it for about ten seconds, he said directly: "Our door is a door that opens from the wall, and it is not always due southeast. I feel that installing a Ruyi door is quite convenient." good."

"Ruyi Gate" After hearing Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan took another look at the drawing of Ruyi Gate drawn by Lei Laoer.

Jiang Yan knew this gate. Almost all alleys had gates of this style. It’s not inconspicuous to build one yourself, that’s it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said directly to Lei Laoer: "Uncle Lei, you have experience in this area, that's it."

After Lei Laoer left, Jiang Yan ate a bowl of fried noodles made by He Yuzhu, said hello to his grandma and the others, and then returned to his house.

I went back to my own space and took a shower. After I came out, I put on my pajamas and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
