The city of Kyoto is like a huge creature, and the people in it are cells that belong to it or not. As the sun sets, it rises and falls rhythmically. It's a fast-paced city, and it's a different kind of city than the laid-back, slow-paced city of Seremban.

Jiang Chao took a taxi, and then handed over the note with the address written on it: "Master, get here." ”

The taxi driver is a bald head, but he looks very cute at his age. He looked at the address carefully, and then looked at Jiang Chao curiously, "Yo, are you looking for relatives?"

"Well, no. ”

The taxi driver put the gear on, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove forward without hurrying.

It didn't take long to drive.

"Little brother, the people who live there are not ordinary people. The bald master laughed as he opened it, and then glanced at Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao thought of Grandpa Ding, and estimated that his identity was not ordinary, and after listening to the bald master's words, he also became interested: "Master, are you familiar with it?"

"Are you familiar with it?" the bald master smiled, "Remove that word!"

"It's ripe, it's ripe. Little brother, it's not the old brother who is blowing with you, I have been driving a taxi for so many years!" As he spoke, the bald head gave Jiang Chao a "yes" gesture.

"Two ...... Two years?"

The bald head glanced at Jiang Chao, "You unlucky boy." Twenty years! Dude, I've been driving for 20 years. In Kyoto City, there is no place where I am not familiar with my old brother. ”

Jiang Chao sighed slightly and thought for a while: "Then brother, son, tell me who lives in that area." ”

"People with status!" As soon as the bald head finished speaking, a sports car next to him sped along the highway line, and the bald head was startled, and quickly shook the steering wheel to avoid it.

"Hey, who's going to mourn your family?" the bald head pulled his neck out and scolded. I slowly rolled up the window.

"These people have no quality, they think they drive a broken sports car, and they drag it like 28,000. The bald head glanced at Jiang Chao and smiled.

Jiang Chao could only nod in agreement and smile awkwardly.

"Anyway, it's still far away, and my brother will have a good chat with you. ”

"You know the courtyard houses in Kyoto, right?"

Jiang Chao thought about it for a while, and unconsciously thought of the movies he watched when he was a child, so he nodded: "Hmm...... I heard that the people who can live in the courtyard houses in Kyoto are rich people. ”

The driver smiled, looked inscrutable, and shook his head.

"This quadrangle, score grade!"

"Grade?"

"Let me tell you this, in some courtyards, from the alley, there are more than ten or twenty families living in a courtyard, what do you want, and the house is dilapidated, you say, this is a rich man?"

"I heard that the demolition fee ......"

Before Jiang Chao finished speaking, the bald master laughed: "Demolish and move." The grade I told you is the lowest grade, and it takes advantage of a good location. There is a sum of money for demolition, but what can you do with this money? If you want to buy a house with this money, you have to go outside the Fifth Ring Road. What will happen to the children going to school in the future? How to get a job? So, the people who live in this courtyard are really not as rich as you think. ”

Jiang Chao blinked, and sure enough, the uncle who opened a rental in every city was very know-it-all.

"But it's different if we're going there. Among the grades of these quadrangles, that one is the highest grade!"

"Oh?" Jiang Chao's eyes moved.

"The courtyard where people with status live, it has to be a courtyard. In people's yards, don't look at old houses, in fact, they have been renovated a long time ago, and there is everything. You have to pay attention to what you do in each room!"

Jiang Chao thought of Grandpa Ding, a little surprised, but also a little expected. Grandpa Ding taught him such a magical way to exert force, which shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Exquisite?"

"Exquisite!"

The taxi continues to drive through reinforced concrete, high-rise buildings...... The surrounding houses gradually became shorter, and after a while, patches of old houses came into view.

"See, further on, the former palace is located. ”

Jiang Chao looked out the car window and frowned slightly. It's not as ...... as it seems. Good.

Nowadays, most of the courtyard houses have lost their former charm due to disrepair and lack of management.

Looking through the alley, it looks a little messy.

"Hehe, this courtyard is the kind of low-grade one I told you. At the beginning, the owner of the courtyard here rented out the east and west wings, and then the courtyard began to build east and west, and look, how chaotic. There are small carports and kitchens inside, and it is a large yard. ”

Jiang Chao nodded thoughtfully.

The taxi continued ahead.

"Actually, that is, outsiders are too mythical courtyards, and they always talk about hundreds of millions of ...... There are indeed hundreds of millions of courtyards, but the people who can live there, the identity of the family, where do they care about the money?"

"People, what they pay attention to is their identity! How much face does it take to live in a courtyard house? Now we don't have many better courtyards here, and there are fewer sets to sell one. Can those big guys sell? No!"

The bald master was driving and chatting at the same time, and his mouth was never idle. The strange thing is that Jiang Chao doesn't think he's noisy yet. The bald head spoke one by one, full of Beijing flavor, and told Jiang Chao about the local customs of Kyoto, Jiang Chao listened to it, and felt that the bald head of the speech had also become a part of the customs.

Jiang Chao thought to himself, the taxi driver in Kyoto is really interesting, if you bring this kind of person to the party, there will definitely be no lack of chatting atmosphere.

It was at this time that Jiang Chao began to like travel a little bit, and he liked the feeling of going to a strange place.

The taxi continued to drive through the cluttered territory, and the surrounding houses began to become regular, although they were still old houses, and the feeling gradually began to change.

After a long drive, the taxi finally stopped in front of an old house.

"Little brother, this is it!"

"How much?"

"Look at the table here, there are 88 in total, I can't charge you any more points!"

Jiang Chao smiled slightly, handed over a piece of Grandpa Hong, and said with a smile: "No need to look for it." ”

The bald head was slightly stunned, and he was a little happy: "Hey, little brother, I should know that you can't be an ordinary person when you come here, so I won't be polite to you, thank you!"

Get out.

Jiang Chao was in a very good mood at this time, standing at the door of Grandpa Ding's courtyard and looking. There were two huge statues at the gate, Jiang Chao took a closer look and found that there was a big stone ball in the mouth of the fox. The stone ball is larger than the gap between the teeth of the fox, and I don't know how to put the stone ball in it when carving.

The door is a solemn and solemn ancient style gate, and there is a bronze beast head knocker on the door. Grandpa said that this thing is called the auxiliary head, and the auxiliary head should be used when knocking on the door, which is exquisite.

So, Jiang Chao grabbed the auxiliary head and prepared to knock it. He found that the animal on the auxiliary head resembled a lion...... But grandpa also said that this fierce beast is not actually a lion, this animal is one of the nine sons of the dragon, just like the two fierce stone carvings. The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom was in a different position in the house, which was also exquisite.

Jiang Chao knocked and waited patiently.

There was no response for half a day.

Jiang Chao frowned. At this moment, a passing aunt said coldly: "What is this child doing, there is a doorbell that does not ring." ”

Jiang Chao was stunned.

The aunt walked away, still laughing: "What age are you still knocking on the door...... These children really don't know how to keep up with the times at all......"

When Jiang Chao heard this, his eyes blinked, he looked to the side, and sure enough, he saw a bright doorbell button in the corner.
