Approaching 9 o'clock in the morning, the alley became more lively, with constant traffic and people.

It can be seen that almost everyone who enters and exits this alley has a bright smile on their faces, and everyone is full of expectations.

The guests invited to Ye Tian and Betty's Chinese wedding have rushed to Lishi Hutong one after another and entered the gate of this mansion located in the middle of the alley.

At this time, Ye Tian had already changed into a dress, and the whole person was very neat and meticulous, standing at the door of the house to greet the guests who came to congratulate him.

However, Betty, the heroine of this wedding, was not with him and did not come out to greet the guests, but stayed at home.

The reason is very simple, Betty is pregnant, and it is freezing outside, so naturally she can't come out and stand at the door to blow the wind, and the elders in the family can't allow it.

Most of the guests attending the wedding today are relatives of the Lao Ye family, and old neighbors who live in Lishi Hutong, who basically know that Betty is pregnant, and they won't mind.

In addition to his family, friends and neighbors, Ye Tian also invited some of the rest of the guests.

These guests are all well-known figures in the field of antique art collection, such as Shan Lao of the Forbidden City, as well as Ma Ye and others, adding up to just one table.

As for the other people in the field of antique art collection, as well as Ye Tianfa's friends, and classmates, they will be invited to a banquet tomorrow, and it will be in a Beijing hotel, not at home.

While speaking, Ye Tian sent a few relatives from the family into the gate, and then asked Dongzi to take these relatives into the courtyard.

When Ye Tian came out of the door, as soon as he walked down the steps, he saw Shan Lao and several other old men from the Forbidden City, walking towards the door with a smile.

Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately greeted them, and those old men also waved at him.

After everyone met, it was natural to be polite and greetings, greet each other and so on.

Next, Ye Tian took these old men to the door of his house, ready to take them in person.

Walking to the door, these masters in the field of antique art collection stopped in unison and looked at the two stone lions placed on both sides of the door, as well as the four octagonal palace lamps hanging above the door.

Without exception, at this time, everyone's eyes were shining and flashing with surprise.

In a blink of an eye, they could see that the two stone lions placed at the door of this mansion and the four octagonal palace lamps hanging on the gatehouse were genuine antique cultural relics, and each one was of great value and quite rare.

After confirming this, each of them secretly gasped, and was also shocked by Ye Tian's generosity.

"Ye Tian, I have been to this mansion gate of your house before, and more than once, at that time, this courtyard has not fallen into your hands, to be honest, the changes in this mansion gate are so great that I almost can't recognize it.

In the past, there was another pair of stone lions at this door, and a pair of stone drums, which were all things from the Republic of China period, and the pair of stone lions in front of them could not be compared at all, which could be described as a heaven and an underground.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a pair of stone lions carved in the middle of the Qianlong period, and they are from the Qing Palace Office, which is worth a lot of money, and I don't know where you got such a pair of treasures?

Such a pair of valuable stone lions, you actually put them at the door of your house in a grand manner, I have to say, your kid's heart is really big enough, aren't you afraid that this pair of treasures will be stolen?"

Ma Ye pointed to the two stone lions in front of him and said, his eyes full of envy.

As soon as his words fell, Jin Lao, who came from the Forbidden City, said:

"Not only this pair of stone lions, but also the four octagonal palace lamps hanging on the gatehouse, also from the Qing Palace Office, made in the early Jiaqing period, such a well-preserved octagonal glazed palace lamp, we do not have a few pieces in the Forbidden City.

Once these palace lamps are lit, they will slowly rotate and project the patterns on the palace lanterns, like a flowing painting, very beautiful, such a precious treasure, you are willing to hang it at the door!"

Not only the two of them, but also several other old men nodded, and even a little painful.

Ye Tian glanced at these old men, and then looked at the two stone lions and the four octagonal glazed palace lamps at the door, and then said with a smile:

"Your eyes are really sharp, you can see at a glance, that's right, the pair of stone lions at the door and the four octagonal glazed palace lamps are all from the Qing Palace Office, and they are valuable antique cultural relics.

These two stone lions were treasures that I found in the United States, and then I shipped them back to China and placed them here, and the stone lions and stone drums that were originally placed at the door of this mansion were all received by me in the warehouse.

The four octagonal glazed palace lamps hanging on the gatehouse are treasures that I found in Portebelu Market in London, England, and bought them and sent them back to China.

These four octagonal glazed palace lamps are usually not hung at the door, but in the courtyard, and this pair of stone lions has always been placed here, as for safety, there is no need to worry at all, I have my own way to protect them"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, several old men chuckled lightly, and looked at the security guards standing not far from the side.

Who can take advantage of this kid Ye Tian? I have never heard of it, no matter who wants to fight the idea of this pair of stone lions, it is tantamount to killing themselves.

Don't think about it, the current Lishi Hutong must be under the control of Ye Tian, this kid, and anyone who enters this alley can't escape the eyes of his security guards.

And this kid is also interested in buying and renovating the entire Lishi Hutong, if this real estate deal does come through, then there is no doubt that this Lishi Hutong will become his private domain.

Standing at the door and admiring these antique relics for a while, Ye Tian took Shan Lao and Ma Ye into the gate and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, the eyes of these old men were immediately attracted by the various furnishings inside the door, and they were amazed.

And it is such a huge brick carving shadow wall, which is rare in Beijing today, and it is really an eye-opener today!"

"There are also these two colorful flower pots planted with plum blossoms, both of which are antique porcelain from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and they are a pair, which also has a certain value"

"Even this solid wood shelf with bonsai is mahogany furniture from the late Qing Dynasty, and these bonsai are also very good, giving people a feeling of spring."

Several old men admired the various furnishings in front of them, while admiring and discussing, and their eyes were almost exhausted.

Ye Tian stood aside, smiling at these old men with shiny eyes, with a somewhat smug look in his eyes.

After a moment, he smiled and said:

"A few old men, let's please, there are a lot of good antique artworks in the yard, and the scenery is also very good, you can enjoy it slowly"

With his words, Shan Lao and Ma Ye suddenly came to their senses, and turned their heads to look at Ye Tian.

Next, Ye Tian took these old men to turn left and bypass the shadow wall, and walked towards the hanging flower gate that led to the first courtyard house.

As before, as soon as they entered here, the eyes of several old men were attracted again, and they looked at the various furnishings in front of them.

At this time, on the doors of several inverted seats on everyone's left, there is a big red word of happiness pasted on them, and several palace lamps are hung on the eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings, which are full of festive flavor.

On the verandah opposite the inverted room, there is a happy word pasted on each assorted window, which complements the bonsai between the two layers of tempered glass in the assorted window.

At the west end of the inverted room, there is a large mackerel tank with sparkling water and a few brightly colored goldfish swimming freely.

Because of the distance, it is impossible to identify the mackerel tank for the time being, but Shan Lao and Ma Ye know very well in their hearts that the mackerel aquarium must also be a valuable antique cultural relic.

The various delicate patterns carved on the walls, on the verandah, and even on the floor tiles, as well as the 'plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum' carved on the steps in front of the hanging flower gate, are also very attractive.

Look at the hanging flower door leading to the first courtyard, there is a spring couplet on both sides of the door that means auspiciousness, and there are two big red happy words pasted on the hanging flower door.

The red carpet that stretched from outside the gate stretched all the way here, and then through the hanging flower gate in front, and then extended into the courtyard inside.

While speaking, everyone had come to the door of the hanging flowers, and stopped in front of the steps and looked at the courtyard inside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of emotion at the scene.

"Ye Tian, you kid is really too good at enjoying life! There is no doubt that this is definitely the most beautiful courtyard house I have ever seen, although the area is not as good as several palaces, the degree of exquisiteness is far beyond it!"

"The pomegranate tree in the ceiling fish tank, the fat dog and the fat girl, this is the real life of the old Beijing courtyard! Compared with this mansion gate, our yard is not worth mentioning at all, and it can be thrown away!"

While sighing with emotion, the eyes of these old men all flashed with envy, and even a little jealousy.

All this in front of you, the antique artworks that can be seen everywhere, this kind of leisurely life, can you not make people feel envied?

Looking at the performance of these old men, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

"The people who live in this mansion gate, mainly my elders, grandparents, parents, etc., the environment here is really good, and it is indeed a pleasure to live in this mansion.

I don't dare to live here for a long time, for fear that the comfortable environment here will wear down my fighting spirit, after all, I am still young, I am not yet old enough to let go of everything and enjoy life, I have to continue to struggle!"

Hearing this, several old men couldn't help but roll their eyes angrily, and secretly complained to themselves one by one.

You kid still have to continue to struggle? You don't have enough money to make money! Do you want to let others live?
