There are six seas in the capital city.

The first three seas, the middle sea and the North HN sea.

Beihai is open to the public as a park.

However, there are armed police standing guard in Zhonghai and Nanhai, and tourists are strictly prohibited from entering, because they are collectively called: Zhongnanhai!

The last three seas: Qianhai, Houhai, and West Sea, collectively called: Shichahai.

It's said to be the sea, but it's just a few lakes.

The reason why it is called the sea is actually a continuation of the name of the Yuan Dynasty.

Nomads live in the plateau area, the water source is extremely scarce, after the Yuan Dynasty built the capital to go to Beijing, in order to show the value of the water source in the capital, so the sea is used to describe the waterhole.

To put it bluntly, I haven't seen a real sea ......

The West Sea at the top of Shichahai is also called Jishuitan.

There is a good saying: there is no Yuan Dadu without ponds.

Without Yuan Dadu, there would be no today's urban pattern of Shangjing.

Jishuitan is the end point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which used to be the main wharf of Caoyun in Shangjing City, and is also the royal elephant washing pond.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, elephants from Siam and Burma have been used as means of transport and palace honor guards, and on the day of summer ambush, the trainers will lead the elephants to the pond to bathe, so it is also known as the elephant washing pond.

Today, Shangjing has become a super first-tier city in the world.

However, here, the original folk culture is still retained, and the traditional folk buildings with the characteristics of the old city are in stark contrast to the high-rise buildings outside the Third Ring Road.

Dongming Hutong is located next to the West Sea, and you can see Shichahai not far away when you open the door.

The summer waves here are as flat as a mirror, the weeping willows are clinging, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is fragrant.

In winter, Shichahai turns into a natural skating rink.

The beauty is like dai, and the scenery is beautiful.

If you want to describe it more intuitively, it can only mention the house price.

The prices here are ......

Two hundred and fifty-one square meters!

Chen Xi walked into Dongming Hutong with the little guy in his arms.

Although the little guy has been playing in Beijing for a few days, Chen Xi has taken her to some big scenic spots, how have she ever been to this kind of old street with a very folk flavor?

So when she saw the rows of high-walled compounds, she immediately felt very novel, and she chattered non-stop.

Feng Mintai walked in front and led the way.

The alley is not deep, and after walking a few hundred meters, he stopped, then pointed to the deep mansion compound next to him, and said with a flattering smile: "Boss, this is it...... Guangliang gate, or a big family......"

The so-called courtyard is that there is a house in the south, east and west, and the courtyard is surrounded in the middle.

Because there is only one gate in the courtyard, the style of the gate is very particular, so that the identity of the family can be seen from the gate.

There are six main styles of gates, Guangliang Gate, Golden Pillar Gate, Barbarian Gate, Ruyi Gate, Narrow Gate, and Wall Gate, and the grades are from high to low.

Guangliangmen, also known as Guangliangmen, is a form of house door adopted by the eunuchs with a certain grade, and the scale of the light gate is larger than the houses of ordinary people, so it will be very prominent in the houses along the street in the alley.

Chen Xi stood in front of the gate and hesitated.

But when he took a closer look at his surroundings.

But his heart slowly sank.

There is a lock on the knocker, indicating that no one is at home, otherwise the door would have been locked from the inside with a wooden latch.

On top of that, he didn't hear any movement in the compound at all!

"Whew"

Chen Xi let out a long breath of turbidity, and then came directly to the gate with the little guy in his arms.

Although he knew that there was no one in the room, he still gently held the door knocker and knocked on it.

"Bang, Bang, Bang"

Every time there was a sound, Chen Xi's heart would beat with it.

However, he knocked for a while, but there was still no movement behind the door.

There was no way, Chen Xi had to gently touch the iron lock on the door knocker and use Zhenyuan to open the iron lock.

After putting the iron lock in the corner of the wall, Chen Xi held the little guy in one hand and pushed open the door with the other.

may be because he knows that this is his mother's hometown, so the little guy's little face is very tight, and his hands are tightly wrapped around Chen Xi's neck.

The door opened.

The first thing that catches your eye is a shadow wall.

The shadow wall is very ordinary, but there is a big 'Qin' character engraved in the middle.

The Qin family.

This is a two-entry quadrangle.

The door of the house is in the southeast corner, and there is the front yard after entering the door.

There is a gate in the middle of the front yard, also known as the Hanging Flower Gate.

The hanging flower gate is the dividing line between the front yard and the inner courtyard, the front yard is used to receive guests, and people outside the inner courtyard are generally not allowed to enter and exit at will.

The so-called 'the door does not go out, the second door does not step', the two doors here refer to the hanging flower door.

Since he had already broken down the door, Chen Xi naturally would not be polite, so he walked to the inner courtyard with the child in his arms.

Passing through the weeping flower gate, Chen Xi saw two locust trees planted on the left and right in the inner courtyard.

It is the golden autumn of October, and the two locust trees are flourishing, opening up a good place to enjoy the cool in the courtyard of the owner's house.

The sun was warm after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the courtyard was full of golden light, which couldn't help but make people feel comfortable.

The yard is neat and tidy, there are not many fallen leaves on the ground, and it doesn't look like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

Chen Xi carried the little guy through the courtyard and stood directly outside the door of the main house.

This is not a bedroom, but the main hall of this courtyard, which is equivalent to the living room now.

Chen Xi gently pushed the door in, and the first thing that appeared in front of him was a large red sandalwood carved case, and there were two rows of chairs in front of the desk.

There are eight chairs in total, four on each side.

Above the desk, a couplet hangs.

It is also inappropriate to say that it is a couplet, because what is written on it is clearly a poem:

The gate of heaven interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flowed eastward to this point.

From Li Bai's "Wangtianmen Mountain".

Chen Xi carefully inspected the room, and Feng Mintai also jumped in, like a sycophant master with a mustache, following Chen Xi to look around.

"Boss, who are you looking for? The furnishings in this house don't look ordinary, and it used to be a rich and noble family......

Chen Xi ignored him, but carefully inspected the room by himself.

When he walked to the table with the big red sandalwood carving, Chen Xi was suddenly stunned.

There was a necklace on the table.

It's the one he gave to Yingying at the beginning!

Chen Xi held the little guy in his right hand, and gently picked up the necklace from the table with his left hand.

He rubbed the pendant of the necklace.

At this time, the little guy suddenly reached out and grabbed the other end of the necklace, and then raised his little head and asked, "Baba, what is this?"

"This is my mother's necklace, I gave her. ”

Hearing this, the little guy pouted and thought for a while.

Immediately after, she pulled the necklace off Chen Xi's hand with all her might, and then hid it in her arms like a hidden treasure.

"The one that's Ma Ma is mine! I want this!"

Chen Xi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's yours in the future...... Come on, Daddy put it on for you. ”

He gently lowered the little one to the ground and took the necklace from her.

The little one was as happy as the kindergarten teacher wore a little red flower on her head.

Chen Xi squatted on the ground, ready to put a necklace on her.

But at this time, the little guy saw the strange look on Chen Xi's face.

Almost without any hesitation, she stretched out her little hand and wiped it on Chen Xi's face, and then said a little cowardly: "Don't cry, I don't want it...... I don't want a necklace anymore......"
