Chapter 1982: The Gate of the Super Mansion

A few minutes later, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived in front of their house.

However, this is no longer the old mansion that Ye Tian grew up in, but a wealthy mansion with a five-entry courtyard and a private garden, which is the number one in the whole of Beijing.

Counting all the courtyard houses in the capital, except for a few famous palace compounds, such as Prince Gong's Mansion and so on, there is no courtyard house that can compare with this mansion gate.

This is the most famous and well-preserved mansion gate in Lishi Hutong, No. 129 Lishi Hutong, which was the residence of the prefect of Wuchang in the late Qing Dynasty, and later lived in many celebrities.

When he returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival last year, Ye Tian spent 1.24 billion yuan to take down the door of this mansion of more than 1,200 square meters!

Another courtyard house with an area of more than 600 square meters adjacent to it was also taken down by him and included in his pocket.

Next, the two quadrangle courtyards were opened up and connected into one, and the area of the quadrangle at No. 129 Lishi Hutong also increased from more than 1,200 square meters to more than 1,800 square meters.

Soon after Ye Tian and his family left Beijing, an ancient construction team from the Forbidden City moved into this courtyard house and began to renovate and repair it, and modernize it to create the most comfortable living environment.

The change of hands and the renovation of this super mansion has caused a sensation in the city of Beijing, and it has also made countless people envious to the extreme, including many people who are so jealous that their eyes are red.

However, when those guys learned that the gate of this mansion belonged to Ye Tian, they immediately dispelled all their wishful thinking, and they didn't even dare to think about it!

After the mansion was modernized and vacant for half a year, Grandpa and his family moved into this super mansion and began to live here and enjoy family fun.

At this time, Ye Tian was standing in front of this super mansion, admiring this magnificent mansion.

In front of him, is a magnificent bright gate, built on the five-level double-hanging marble stamping, the gate gate tower above the carved beams and paintings, antique, vermilion door panel on the four carved brass hairpins, very eye-catching.

The eight-character walls on both sides of the courtyard gate and the courtyard walls along the street are carved with exquisite brick carving patterns, which look pleasing to the eye.

And these brick carving patterns have their own meanings, such as the wealth of the jade hall, the peace of the four seasons and so on.

The brick carving of the courtyard of No. 129 Lishi Hutong is also a unique and famous scenery in all the courtyards in the capital, and Ye Tian naturally can't bear to destroy it.

In addition, on both sides of the gate of the courtyard stands a stone lion about 1.5 meters high, stepping on a hydrangea, the image is realistic.

On the outside of the two stone lions, there is a large bonsai, although it is winter, these two large bonsai are verdant and full of vitality, bringing people a strong sense of spring.

Although he has not yet entered the door of this mansion, and he doesn't know what the internal situation will be after the reconstruction, the appearance of this super mansion gate has already made Ye Tian very satisfied.

It can be seen that the situation inside the door of this mansion must be very good.

While standing at the door admiring the bright gate in front of him, Ye Tian also used the corner of his eye to sweep the other two quadrangle courtyards on the left and right.

During this period, he also turned around, looked at the courtyard on the opposite side of the alley, and thoroughly saw through the courtyard.

In addition, he also looked through every surveillance probe installed near the door of this super mansion, as well as the hidden pinhole camera, and did not let go of any of them.

When he had done all this, he said to David, who had followed him:

"Guys, please come in, this is my home in Beijing, my family has prepared dinner, you can taste it later"

With his words, David and Jason, who had fallen into a sluggish state, came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, these guys launched an emotion, and their words and expressions were quite exaggerated.

"Wow, Steven, this is a palace, so beautiful, so charming, just like the Forbidden City we visited in the morning!"

"I can't believe it, in just one year, this courtyard has undergone earth-shaking changes, and I can't even admit it"

In the midst of this exclamation, Ye Tian and the others had already walked up the steps, and then walked into the door of this super mansion.

As soon as you enter the gate, you are greeted by a tall shadow wall.

The shadow wall wall is carved with exquisite patterns, which is slightly different from the brick carving style outside the door, which is a nine-fold spring color picture, giving people a sense of vitality.

In front of and on both sides of this shadow wall, there is a simple and elegant solid wood flower stand, on which are placed several pots of bonsai, with different shapes, all of which are very beautiful!

In particular, the two pots of plum blossoms placed on both sides of the shadow wall are blooming delicately at this time, not afraid of the cold of winter at all, bringing people a refreshing fragrance of flowers and decorating life.

Coming to the front of this shadow wall, Ye Tian and the others all stopped and began to admire.

After a few moments, they turned around and walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate, strolling along and admiring the palace-like grand mansion gate.

Dongzi, who followed the side, took on the responsibility of explaining and introduced the house to Ye Tian.

"Brother, from the shadow wall, it is the first to enter the courtyard, and on the side of the alley is the south room, that is, the inverted seat room, there are five rooms in total, and the nanny and driver who take care of the grandparents live here.

There is no main house and east and west wings in this courtyard, and the opposite side of the inverted seat room is the hanging flower door, and entering from the hanging flower door is the second courtyard, that is, the front yard, and our family lives in the front yard,......"

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the door of the weeping flowers.

This is a one-hall roll-type hanging flower door, also built on five marble steps, compared with the outside of the bright gate, although not so atmospheric, but more exquisite, more gorgeous.

In front of this hanging flower door, there is also a pair of stone beasts, but it is not a stone lion, but a pair of unicorns, which are relatively small, and there is no fierce appearance, but they are cute and cute!

What's more, this is a pair of unicorns from the early Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and they are also a pair of valuable antique relics, which were once placed in the mansion of a prince in the early years.

After the fall of the prince's family, the pair of stone qilin went to the people, and more than a hundred years ago, they were exiled to the United States, but they were discovered by Ye Tian in Philadelphia and then taken into their pockets.

When the door of this mansion was rebuilt and arranged, he sent someone to transport the pair of stone unicorns back to China and placed them in front of this hanging flower gate.

On the wall on both sides of the hanging flower door, that is, on the verandah, there are several assorted windows with unique shapes, some are crescent-shaped, some are hexagonal, some are like fans, and the window frames are brick carvings, which are very exquisite.

Through these assorted windows, the person who stands outside the door of the hanging flower and enters the yard first can see the scene of the second courtyard, and the person who enters the courtyard of the second can naturally see the situation of the first courtyard.

Without exception, in the middle of the two layers of tempered glass inside and outside these assorted windows, there is a small bonsai that dots the courtyard and the wall.

In addition, at the west end of the courtyard, there is also a blue and white goldfish bowl, but more than a dozen colorful goldfish in the fish tank have been put into the fish tank in the upside-down room.

It's winter after all, and it's very cold at night, so obviously you can't keep the goldfish outside, otherwise you will have to freeze to death.

Like the pair of stone unicorns in the early Kangxi period, this blue and white goldfish bowl is also an antique cultural relic, a blue and white fish bowl fired in the early stage of Daoguang, imitating the blue and white tank of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, which is also worth a few silver!

In addition to these, on the walls on both sides of the pendulum gate, as well as on the doors, windows, and walls of the five inverted houses, there are carved beams and paintings everywhere, and various exquisite ornaments and patterns are carved.

Even the steps in front of the Hanging Flower Gate are carved with the patterns of the four gentlemen of 'Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum', and the patterns of each step are different, each with its own characteristics and different meanings.

As before, Ye Tian and the others stopped again, admiring everything in front of them.

Especially David and Jason, they were all lying on those assorted windows, looking at the exquisite brick carved window frames, looking at the small and delicate bonsai inside, their eyes were straight!

"Steven, this is a residence, it's a magnificent palace, even the Forbidden City we visited today doesn't seem to be as beautiful here, everything here is a work of art"

Jason exclaimed directly, his eyes full of envy, and his expression was quite exaggerated.

David: They all performed the same, they were all completely shocked and fascinated by what was happening in front of them.

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, and then said with a triumphant smile:

"This is just the beginning, folks, and when you enter this splendid hanging flower gate, you will really see and really understand what a real palace is.

Compared with the Forbidden City we visited in the morning, this mansion gate is not as magnificent as the Forbidden City, and there is no other residence in China that can surpass the Forbidden City in this regard.

But in terms of sophistication, this mansion can still be compared, and in terms of livability and comfort, it is definitely far more than the Forbidden City."

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already walked up the steps, and then walked through the hanging flower gate into the second courtyard of this mansion gate.

At this moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was another beautiful scene.
