Chapter 2000: Our Palace
After chatting with his sister-in-law and uncle, Ye Tian left the front yard and entered the inner courtyard along the hand-copying verandah.
The grandparents who lived in the inner courtyard had already fallen asleep, except for a few antique palace lamps hanging in the front porch in the inner courtyard, and the lights in the north room and the east and west wings had long been extinguished.
However, due to the reflection of the snow on the ground, the yard is quite bright.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian did not bother his grandparents, but bypassed the inner courtyard and went directly into the courtyard at the back, that is, the courtyard where his parents lived.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw that his father and mother were wearing pajamas and a coat each, standing on the front porch of the north room, looking at the moon gate.
Obviously, they had already learned the news from their sister-in-law that Ye Tian had returned, so they came out of the living room.
At this moment, seeing Ye Tian walking into the yard with his suitcase, a bright smile immediately bloomed on the old couple's faces, and their expressions were much more relaxed.
As he spoke, Ye Tian had already walked through the courtyard and came to his parents.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back, you two don't need to wait for me, it's good to rest early on such a cold day"
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, walked up the steps of the north room, entered the front porch, and left the snowflakes flying in the sky behind.
"It's good to come back, go inside and have a cup of hot tea, warm up, it's too cold outside"
Dad said with a smile and nodded, turned around and walked into the room.
The old mother gently patted the snowflakes on Ye Tian's shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"We're fine, we just squinted for a while, in fact, we are not sleepy, but your father-in-law and mother-in-law, because of the time difference, I was sleepy in the morning, and went back to your yard to rest.
Betty and Logan, as well as Linlin and Dongzi, are all in your yard, and when you come back, after you come back and have a cup of hot tea, you can go back to the yard over there and have a good rest."
"Okay, let's go inside."
With that, Ye Tian walked into the north room with his mother.
It was about ten minutes before he came out of the room, and walked down the verandah, toward the courtyard house where he and Betty were.
In the blink of an eye, he had come to the door of the courtyard where he lived.
Compared with the rest of the courtyards, this courtyard has the largest area and the most beautiful scenery.
Especially the garden connected to the yard, the garden has rockery pools, trees and flowers, pavilions and pavilions, all available, quite a bit of Suzhou garden flavor.
Even though it was night, darkness covered the land.
However, the light of the many antique palace lamps and floor lamps of different styles, coupled with the reflection of snow covering the entire courtyard and garden, makes the courtyard very quiet.
In a bustling modern city like Beijing, and in the heart of such a great city, such an environment is so rare!
The lights from the north and west wings of the courtyard, as well as bursts of laughter, have added a lot of popularity to this courtyard, which is full of vitality and warmth.
Ye Tian, who entered the courtyard, did not immediately walk to the north room where he and Betty lived, but came to the moon gate connecting the garden, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the garden alone with the snowflakes flying in the sky.
Although Beijing is located in the north, there are only a handful of heavy snowfall days in recent years, and it has not been a snowy day like tonight for several years.
What's more, there is also an exquisite private garden, and it is late at night, in the heavy snow, there must be a special beauty, this kind of beauty can not be missed?
In the winter in New York, heavy snowfall days are common, and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of your apartment can take in the snow scenery of Central Park.
The scenery of Central Park is beautiful, but it is more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, lacking a bit of charm, and the private garden in front of you is more exquisite and more in line with the aesthetics of Orientals.
What's more, this is your own garden, and that emotional and spiritual resonance cannot be given or replaced anywhere else!
Ye Tian put the suitcase on the ground, and then walked into the garden alone, strolling in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery here, and greedily breathing the cold and refreshing air.
While enjoying the scenery in the night, he also found a lot of messy footprints on the ground, which were almost completely covered with snow, but he could still see a little trace.
Obviously, before him, Betty and Linlin had come to this garden to enjoy the snow scene with the snowflakes flying in the sky, laugh and play, and only go back when they had had enough.
Ye Tian walked through the entire garden thoroughly, then returned to the Moon Gate, picked up the suitcase on the ground again, and walked towards the north room with the lights on.
In the blink of an eye, he had come to the front of the north room and walked up the steps.
At this time, bursts of laughter kept coming from the north room and reaching his ears.
From these voices alone, he could hear who was in the room.
Logan, Dongzi, Linlin and Chenxi are all in their living room at the moment, some are laughing and chatting, some are playing games, and everyone is very excited.
Of course, the hostess who entered the courtyard, Betty, was also in the living room.
Ye Tian paused at the door of the north room, gently patted the snowflakes on his head and body, and then pushed open the door with a smile and walked into this warm living room.
As the door opened, the guys in the living room turned their heads to look.
Seeing that it was Ye Tian who came in, Betty and the others immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
The first to come to Ye Tian's side was the little girl Chenxi.
As always, this little girl came up and hugged one of Ye Tian's arms, and directly sprinkled Jiao.
"Brother, you're back, we're almost asleep."
Ye Tian looked at the little girl, and then said jokingly:
"Don't be funny, I can really hear it outside the door, even if you have the loudest voice, you can hear it when you stand in the garden, you are still asleep, I see you playing until dawn without sleepiness"
"Hahaha"
Linlin and Dongzi both laughed, but Betty and Logan didn't know why, they still couldn't understand Chinese.
However, this did not hinder their feelings, they could clearly feel the warm family affection between Ye Tian and Chenxi, so they also smiled.
Next, Ye Tian stepped forward and hugged Betty, and greeted Linlin and the others one by one.
Afterwards, he went to the next room to wash and change clothes, while Betty and the others sat back in their seats, chatting and waiting for Ye Tian to come out.
Soon, ten minutes had passed.
Ye Tian, who changed into a casual home clothes, finally returned to the living room and sat next to Betty.
As soon as he sat down, Logan, who was sitting on a chair with a yellow pear circle next to him, immediately said eagerly:
"Steven, this courtyard of your house is amazing, it is definitely one of the most beautiful courtyards I have ever seen, and it is very comfortable and livable, it is almost like a palace.
I have decided that when I graduate from graduate school, I will refer to this set of courtyard houses of yours to build my own Chinese-style mansion, and living in such a residence is called life!"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this kid, then said with a smile:
"You're a top student in the architecture department of MIT, and it won't be too difficult for you to build such a quadrangle, and you can even build a bigger, more luxurious quadrangle with the price of land near Boston.
But the courtyard house, a classic traditional Chinese building, leaves Beijing, leaving Beijing's hutongs, there is no such taste, of course, the modernized courtyard is still very livable."
Hearing this, the kid Logan couldn't help but fall silent and fell into deep thought.
And Betty, who was snuggled up to Ye Tian's side, said at this time:
"My dear, I love this courtyard so much, I love everything about it, it is a beautiful and exquisite palace, especially the garden in front of it, it is even more beautiful and unforgettable.
Not only Logan and I, but our parents, Matthew and Evelyn, also love this quadrangle very much, and after coming here today, they have walked around the house more than ten times, and they haven't missed a single corner!"
Ye Tian gently poured Betty into his arms and whispered softly:
"If you like it, my dear, this beautiful palace is for you, this is our palace, our home!"
Before the words fell, an angry voice suddenly came from the side.
"Please, don't sprinkle dog food, it's okay, show affection also has a limit, divided into occasions, don't forget, there are two minors here!"
The voice came from Linlin, the girl, and Dongzi and Chenxi had disgusted expressions on their faces, and covered their eyes very cooperatively.
Hearing Linlin's words and seeing the expressions of the three little guys, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh softly.
