Chapter 210: Viewing the House (2) (1st Update)
And the murderous mansion, at the westernmost end of the north of Cangxia Street, the main gate is facing the square in front, and the length of the courtyard walls on both sides is a hundred meters. The two-zhang high blue brick Bogu ridge gable, the wall cap is carved with exquisite patterns.
The gate was wide enough to accommodate about five carriages side by side. The two wide, heavy red sandalwood doors were closed at this time, and the red paint on them had fallen off a lot. A pair of exquisitely carved stone lions, majestic and lifelike, are located on both sides of the door, making the whole house invisibly have a momentum that should not be underestimated.
Next to the main entrance, there was a closed side door that could walk two carriages side by side, and no copper locks were found on the door, probably inserted from the inside.
From the outside, in Jiaozhou City, the house is big enough, and you can imagine the scenery of the original owner of the house. It's just that with the murder of the owner of the house, the scenery of the house is no longer there. After five years of erosion by wind, frost, rain and snow, both the walls and the wooden doors are a little dilapidated and mottled, and the original glory can no longer be seen.
Huang Ren'an looked at the desolate and dilapidated house with some gloom, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. He sighed quietly, took out a key from his arms, stepped on the high bluestone slab steps, opened the rusty copper lock, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and said to Mei Yixuan and the others who followed, "Go in." ”
Mei Yixuan was also in a heavy mood, nodded silently, and followed Huang Ren'an into the house.
Entering the house, the first thing that catches your eye is a rectangular blue brick shadow wall carved with orchid patterns, and the eaves at both ends of the wall inlaid with gray tiles are slightly warped, which makes the whole shadow wall extremely low-key and simple.
Bypassing the shadow wall, a relatively open place appeared in front of me, with blue brick horizontal walls on the left and right, and next to the horizontal wall, there were several spacious one-line spire tile houses, such as the lower room, or the carport, Ma Peng, and the like.
The ground is paved with green bricks, there are few flowers and trees, only one south and one north, two sycamore trees with many years and luxuriant branches, like two giant umbrellas standing at both ends.
In front of the open field, on top of the bluestone slabs on the steps, is a tall gatehouse, flanked by two-zhang high blue brick walls. At the north end of the east and west sides of the blue brick wall, there is a room such as an east and west wing, a thatched house, and a firewood house, which should be a room for the next person who waits in the front yard.
This space is a prelude to entering the outer courtyard, and a wide passage paved with bluestone slabs leads directly to the outer courtyard. On both sides of the passage, there are rockeries and strange rocks with different scenery and various flower beds, forming a small garden. In front of the east and west wings, there is also a one-person high flower wall and wooden door, so that the rooms under the east and west wings are hidden behind the garden and become an independent space.
Entering from the gatehouse, it is a courtyard with three main rooms, three wing rooms, two ear rooms, inverted seat rooms, thatched houses, firewood rooms, and wells.
Passing through the side door next to the ear room, and following the bluestone-paved road, Mei Yixuan followed into the second courtyard, that is, the inner courtyard.
Facing is a small garden, on the left is the pavilion water pavilion, rockery and strange stones, a pool of clear lake water, on the green lotus leaves, the lotus flowers are slim and elegant. On the right is a patchwork of various flower beds, and a bamboo forest swaying in the wind, bringing a touch of coolness.
A few gravel paths lead to several small courtyards hidden deep in the woods.
Passing through the garden, a hanging flower gate appeared in front, and the vermilion doorpost and the glazed tiles on the gatehouse all showed the extraordinary identity of the former owner.
After passing through the Hanging Flower Gate and walking through an open field in front, there is a courtyard courtyard with three rooms and two corridors, that is, the inner courtyard where the master lives.
The whole courtyard sits in the north and faces south, three main rooms, three wing rooms on the left and right, ear rooms, warehouses, inverted seat rooms, two sides are copying hand verandahs, plus the courtyard courtyard composed of patios.
There is a cross-courtyard on the left and right sides of the main courtyard, and the cross-courtyard on the left is also the east cross-courtyard, which has a large and small kitchen, as well as firewood houses, thatched houses, wells, people's houses and other buildings, and there are several vegetable fields, flower beds, gardens and other scenery in the open area.
The cross-courtyard on the right is the west cross-courtyard, the main building has a three-storey embroidery building, carved beams and painted buildings, red walls and green tiles, antique, very exquisite, chic.
On both sides of the embroidery floor, there is a slip and a word pointed tile house, and there are both firewood houses, wells, thatched houses, which should be the rooms of the next people.
The courtyard is very spacious, with a variety of flower beds and ornamental forests scattered around a small lake, among which there are several exquisitely designed pavilions located around the small lake, and several stone roads extend from the embroidery building to the pavilions.
From the side door in front of the main courtyard to the back of the main courtyard, there is also a slippery pointed tile house of the lower room, which is a small courtyard and has its own pattern. You can get there along a gravel road, which is very close.
There is a gatehouse at the courtyard gate and the side door, which is guarded all the year round, and the door will be locked at the hour, unless there is an order from the master, otherwise, no one will open the door at night.
There is another path leading to the outer courtyard in the lower room, which is clearly distinguished from the inner courtyard, so there is no need to worry about irrelevant outsiders appearing in the inner courtyard.
Several people looked at the whole house from the beginning, and then Huang Ren'an found a lantern out of nowhere to light it, and only then did he finish the whole house.
Fortunately, the weather seems to be terrible, but it doesn't rain when it thunders, otherwise, you have to look at the house in the rain. This is the first time Huang Ren'an has done such a thing since he was engaged in buying and selling houses. Generally, guests look at the house during the day, so they can look carefully and find some flaws and bargain.
Today's actions made him feel embarrassed, feeling that he was too eager and completely lost his impartiality and objectivity as a broker.
However, when he found that Mei Yixuan did not show any impatience or impatience, but looked at the house with great interest, he felt less guilty in his heart.
Actually, Mei Yixuan didn't realize the problem of not being able to see clearly when it was late. Because since she drank the space water and lotion, she has long been able to see things at night, and she can see the corners and corners clearly, so she will not pay attention to the unreasonable act of coming to see the house so late.
Besides, she was more anxious than anyone else to settle down quickly and give her mother and younger brother a stable environment, so how could she complain about Huang Ren'an's abnormal behavior?
Looking at this circle, Mei Yixuan found that the courtyard of the main house in the central axis position is a total of five courtyards, and the building structure and layout of the other third, fourth, and fifth courtyards are roughly the same as those of the second courtyard.
What really surprised Mei Yixuan was that starting from the second courtyard in the center, there were two independent three courtyards on the left and right, and there were bluestone slabs paved with partitions between the three courtyards, and there were high blue brick walls on both sides of the corridor, which could not only communicate with each other, but also not disturb each other. Moreover, the three courtyards have their own subordinate rooms, small gardens, livestock sheds, carports, wells, kitchens, firewood sheds, warehouses, etc., which really amazed Mei Yixuan.
