Teacher Ma sat in his seat, crossed his hands, interlocked his index fingers, rubbed it for a while, and praised Chen Wen again.

Chen Wen said with a smile: "Teacher Ma, don't praise me anymore, I'm embarrassed by your praise, hurry up, take me to see the house!"

Teacher Ma raised his hand and patted the desk: "Let's go!"

Chen Wen and Tang Jin followed Teacher Ma out of his office and down the stairs to the first floor.

"By the way, Mr. Ma, your house is so beautiful, can you show us around?" Chen Wen made a small request.

Teacher Ma naturally couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse at all.

"How about you two look at my yard, okay?" said Teacher Ma.

"Hmm!" Chen Wen and Tang Jin nodded at the same time.

"Sensei envy, this yard is not mine. "Teacher Ma is really frank.

"Huh?" Chen Wen and Tang Jin exclaimed at the same time.

"Hey, hey. Teacher Ma smiled, "I don't have any money, my money has been exchanged for antiques, how can I afford such a good yard." ”

"What's the matter with such a big yard?" Chen Wen asked.

"This is the house of a good friend of mine, who was abroad and lent me the place. Mr. Ma explained, "As for me, I use this as my own studio. ”

"Ouch, Mr. Ma, why don't you buy a courtyard? In the future, you can open your own museum, and you can directly run it in your own courtyard!" Chen Wen proposed.

"Alas, don't mention it. I also want to buy a yard by myself, but I don't have the money!" Mr. Ma sighed, "It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a yard, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate and decorate." If I had the money, I might as well exchange it for a few good things!"

Chen Wen no longer mentions this stubble, everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits. Chen Wen's wish since his rebirth is to save his parents, find Su Qianqian and make money. Mr. Ma's pursuit is to collect and protect cultural relics and antiques.

Chen Wen thought about another thing, since Mr. Ma didn't have enough spare money to buy a courtyard house for the time being, then Chen Wen didn't mind vacating a set of courtyard houses in the future and partnering with Mr. Ma to open a museum!

Anyway, he wants to buy a lot of courtyard houses, and although he makes money by opening a restaurant and a homestay, his taste is not up to grade. If you can catch Mr. Ma's cultural relics protection train, at least you can follow a little cultural atmosphere!

Teacher Ma led Chen Wen and Tang Jin around the large courtyard where his studio was located.

The entire courtyard covers an area of more than 500 square meters. The row of single-storey houses at the root of the east wall has a construction area of more than 70 square meters. The north and south buildings each have a floor area of 150 square meters, a total of 300 square meters, each with two floors, and the usable area is twice the building area, that is, 600 square meters.

To put it simply, it is a yard covering an area of 500 square meters, and the actual usable area of the house is more than 670 square meters!

It's great value!

Chen Wen took the time to ask: "Teacher Ma, how did this build a two-story building?"

Teacher Ma smiled: "This is not easy to do, but it is not absolute. You, buy the yard first, and then figure it out later. ”

Of course, Chen Wen is a clever person, listening to Mr. Ma's prompt, he understands it. Build an extra layer of this, don't rush to do it now, and slowly look at the opportunity in the future. Since someone has done this, it means that there is a drama in this matter.

After visiting the courtyard of Mr. Ma's studio, Chen Wen liked it in addition to envy, and he liked it even more than Brother Huan's studio.

Teacher Ma led the two of them out of the studio and went to the courtyard he had found for Chen Wen.

Tang Jin asked curiously, "Teacher Ma, don't you need to make a phone call beforehand?"

Teacher Ma said: "No, the owner must be at home." ”

After walking a few steps, the three of them arrived at their destination, which was also in the Arrow Factory Hutong!

Chen Wen was happy in his heart, it turned out that the other party was Mr. Ma's neighbor.

Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Mr. Ma did not knock on the door immediately, and deliberately gave Chen Wen time to take a closer look.

The location of this courtyard is very similar to Mr. Ma's studio, but the door direction is different.

The east side of the courtyard is next to the west side of the outer wall of the Guozijian Scenic Area, and the gate of the courtyard is not in the arrow factory alley, but in a small alley that is turned horizontally. Walking into the alley more than ten meters, on the left hand side is the courtyard gate of this courtyard.

Chen Wen judged the direction, and the courtyard gate here was facing south. He immediately sensed that this was a good layout.

The courtyard gate is made of wood, and the two doors are double-opened, painted red. In front of the door is a two-step stone staircase with a stone threshold running across the steps. The door is inlaid with two brass knockers, and the lock is a large, antique-shaped pin lock.

Chen Wen glanced up at the lintel, on which were hung four doors. On the side of the far gate, a lantern hangs. When I got closer, I saw that there was an electric light bulb hanging in the lantern, and a wire was hidden from it, and it entered the courtyard through the crack in the door.

On the body of the lantern, the word "Fu" is written in black font.

Chen Wen remembered that when he used to watch costume dramas, many wealthy families or eunuchs also hung lanterns in front of their doors, with the surname of that family written on them.

"Teacher Ma, is this family's surname Fu, or is it simply a blessing word to pray for?" Chen Wen asked curiously.

Teacher Ma smiled and explained, "It's half of it." The current owner's surname is Qin, but the owner of this house in the former Qing Dynasty was surnamed Fu. ”

Chen Wen sighed and felt a kind of historical weight.

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Wen's expression, smiled slightly, did not speak, raised his legs to the door, and buckled the door knocker.

After a while, the far door creaked open.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s appeared inside the door.

"Yo, Mr. Ma, you're here!" the middle-aged man greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, come, let me introduce you, these two are Mr. Chen and Miss Tang, they are what I mentioned to you before, they want to see your yard. Teacher Ma bowed to the other party.

Chen Wen looked at the way these two people greeted each other, and felt quite ancient, he also learned to behave, and bowed his hand and said: "Mr. Qin, hello, I take the liberty to disturb, please don't be surprised!"

Tang Jin was also brought up by the three people in front of him, and bowed his hand: "Hello Mr. Qin!"

Mr. Qin returned the salute to the two: "If you come, you are a guest, no matter if the transaction is successful, you will be friends in the future!"

When he entered the door, Teacher Ma gave a serious lecture: "Miss Tang, I have to correct the way you bowed just now." ”

Tang Jin said curiously: "Please ask Teacher Ma for advice." ”

Teacher Ma explained: "This bow is a way of greeting men in the old days. You're a girl's family, and your way of doing it has to be a blessing. Look, that's it. ”

Teacher Ma said, and made a posture of Yingying Wanfu himself, and Tang Jin imitated it again.

"Hey, Mr. Ma is so serious, if he gets involved with ancient things, he can teach you a lesson, regardless of whether it is an object or an action. When you two come to me, everything is natural, don't be restrained!" Mr. Qin led the way with a smile, and the atmosphere was very relaxed by him.

Mr. Qin led the three of them to visit the entire courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, just as Mr. Ma introduced to Chen Wen before, this is the front yard of a large quadrangle.

It covers an area of only 150 square meters, which is a quarter smaller than the yard that Chen Wen bought in the morning. The yard is very neat, and there are no privately built simple houses.

The courtyard sits north and faces south, and the courtyard door opens in the south direction. Chen Wen was very satisfied with this direction, and the door of the courtyard he bought in the morning was open to the west.

After entering the gate, there are no gatehouses on the left and right, and it is purely a south wall. There is a row of houses in each of the three directions of the courtyard, which are the north, east and west wings.

It is a single-storey house, with a total of 9 rooms, evenly distributed in three directions, with a total floor area of 100 square meters. The north house is the largest, covering an area of 40 square meters. The east and west wings are 30 square meters each.

The layout and function of the room are very similar to that of the sister's courtyard, except that the area of each component has been reduced by one. The north and west wings are two-bedroom and one-bedroom, while the east wing is a small bedroom, kitchen and toilet.

The houses are all old houses, and there are many traces of decay, but they are not dilapidated houses, and they are definitely not like the courtyard that Chen Wen bought in the morning, which looks like a ruin after a war.

All 9 rooms were neatly cleaned and cleaned.

Mr. Qin introduced that he currently lives here, and after the house is sold, he will be given a week to move, and the new owner will be able to move in directly.
