Houhai, a feng shui treasure in the capital, is so leisurely and peaceful all year round. It is only separated from Qianhai by a silver ingot bridge, and the water flow under the bridge is still connected, but it is very different from Qianhai, and there is a difference in character.

Qianhai is more like Han Xue, extroverted, more attractive to bees and butterflies, there is a swimming area in summer, an ice skating rink in winter, the back door of Beihai Park in the south, cars come and go all day long, tourists are weaving, the back of the Di'anmen shopping mall in the east, there is a free market, next to the barbecue season restaurant. It's gorgeously decorated, but it's inevitably a little trivial, eye-catching, and ostentatious.

Houhai is more like Han Yan, introverted, can't beat a fart with three sticks, and doesn't like to wear gold and silver, all day long, plain face, stuffy in the house, you don't pay attention carefully, you can't remember that after crossing the silver ingot bridge, there is such a large lake surrounded by big poplars and big willows.

There are no traders here, not a single one! If you go around the coast of Houhai, you won't be able to buy anything for a few kilometers. Hey, don't say it, you can't say that you can't buy anything, you can spend 1 yuan to buy a ticket to Song Qingling's former residence and go in and visit it.

It is also the most conspicuous mansion on the coast of Houhai, which was first built by the scholar Mingzhu during the Kangxi period, and then lived in it with adults, and later became the residence of Emperor Guangxu's father, Prince Yiyun, and when the last emperor arrived, Puyi's father, Prince Alcohol Zaifeng moved in again. In writing, this place is called the Regent's Mansion, on the map it is called the former residence of Song Qingling, and the common people call this place the Alcohol Prince's Mansion.

This big mansion has come to the afterlife. I am afraid that it is one of the few royal gardens in the capital that still retains its original flavor, except for the Forbidden City, except for those royal gardens that have become parks. It's not a place for people to live, and it can't be said to be a private house. If you want to see what the homes of the dignitaries and nobles in the past were like, then don't go to the Forbidden City, come to Prince Alcohol's Mansion to see, if it's not enough, then go to Prince Gong's Mansion on the south bank of Houhai to go around, and basically see it all.

It's a little regrettable that the east side of Prince Alcohol's Mansion is half pulled. It became the yamen of the Ministry of Health, after decades of flipping. Except for the gate, which is still authentic, there are basically no old houses left in it, and even if there is, you can't see it. I won't let it in.

Hong Tao likes Houhai before the mid-9o, it is very quiet, cars are basically invisible, there are not many bicycles, in summer it is known that it is playing with the howl of life, and in winter there is only the howling of the northwest wind. There are a lot of courtyard houses here, and most of them are built in a regular manner, for the simple reason that it has been here since the Qing Dynasty. It's a high-end residential area. You think, several princes live here, and the peddlers, pawns, and ordinary people will definitely not dare to come forward to make do. The people who can build a house here are officials or wealthy businessmen, and the houses they build must be regularized.

Then again, in that sense, the area is really good for life. To have a landscape, to have an environment. The most important thing is that it is located in the center of the city, the transportation is convenient, and it is a quiet area, so it has to be said that those dignitaries and nobles have poisonous eyes, and that place is good, they immediately go over to lay eggs and occupy a nest.

Hong Tao's small courtyard is in the bungalow area on the north shore of Houhai, and there is an alley away from the back coast, which is not a sea-view house, even if you stand on the roof, you can only see the thick poplars on the shore.

In his last life, Hong Tao lived here until he graduated from college, more than a year of primary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and four years of college, almost more than ten years, with his character as a string of alleys, he has basically walked around this area, and he can't say that he is particularly familiar with this place, but he is also relatively familiar, so he doesn't have to adapt to it at all, and he doesn't have a feeling of moving in a new way, as if he went home after half a year on a business trip.

But now his home has a little taste, and the time bomb planted during the renovation and renovation has gone off.

After entering the rainy season, as soon as the two heavy rains passed, the sewers in the yard immediately went on strike, and the dirty water continued to gush out from the toilet and sewer eyes, basically flush with the ground.

In summer, that means high temperatures, and high temperatures mean that the insects are lively. Unlike humans, they like the smell of stinky baking, so the yard has become a paradise for all kinds of small insects and small animals, more than a foot long big water rats, shaking their shiny fur, dragging chopsticks thick tails, near the toilet from time to time to show a small face, it is estimated that they live in the dark gutter all year round, also need to come up to bask in the sun.

Swarms of flies fly aimlessly, and even if someone comes, they are not afraid and pounce on you in the face. That is, they can't speak, if they can, you can definitely hear them all shouting: this community is elegant, the property is first-class! Brothers and sisters, come quickly, this is heaven, and I want to report a good news to everyone, there is a lot of dung!!

"I'm x! Three flies are stacked together! This Nima is too shameless, you dare to group p in broad daylight, I can't bear it, you have the ability to wait, see how I clean you up!" "My father is going to enroll again, he is expected to be promoted to the professor level this year, so he is full of enthusiasm, and he left just a few days after the summer vacation.

Mother didn't have a summer vacation, so Hong Tao was left alone at home, he didn't go anywhere, from time to time he lay on the window of his house, watching the business in the yard full of business, couldn't help but be happy, and used the air gun bought by his uncle to beat rats and flies, which was regarded as practicing marksmanship.

Because during the renovation, Hong Tao's house walked alone on the water and power supply lines, so as long as the doors and windows in the yard were closed, and then sealed with rubber strips, his house was isolated from the yard, even if the sewage in the yard was half a meter deep, it could not affect his house, the foundation of those big stones was not spent in vain, usually it looked good, and it was a waterproof highland when it was waterlogged.

And Hong Tao's family doesn't have to go through the courtyard door to enter and exit the room, let alone step on the bricks that the Sun family put in the sewage, tiptoe in and out, and then the small door that Hong Tao deliberately opened on the back wall outside the courtyard worked.

"Oops...... This Nima is where people live!Hong Tao!Hong Tao!Get out!" Just as Hong Tao was looking at the three mung bean flies that were passing on the lineage through the crack in the window and preparing to get rid of the four pests, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and the second master appeared.

"Second master, close the door, don't let our living creatures run away, you can't afford to pay, go a few steps inside, enter through that little red door!" Hong Tao hurriedly put down the gun, for fear that the second master, a living person, would scare those big water rats away, they are the main force of harassment at night, Sun and Lin families dare not go out of the house after dark, maybe the horn will come out of one, staring at you with two blood-red little mice, guaranteed to scare you screaming.

And these cute little creatures are also very pioneering spirit, they are not satisfied with just wandering in the yard, they will often visit human houses, wander around, by the way bite your clothes, face pockets, leather shoes, etc., and then leave some black, oval granular souvenirs on your table and cupboard, this is called sensible! Talk about old etiquette! Have face! Resolutely not go to the door empty-handed.

"I said, where did your brother-in-law find the construction team? They are at this level? It's only been built for a few days, and it's become a big dung pit!" The second master saw Hong Tao at the back door of Hong Tao's house, and he was still pushing his German warrior's tricycle, on which was placed a large flower pot like a small water tank, and a small seedling was covered with a plastic bag in the pot, which was only less than a foot high.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, you're resting in the room, there's the tea I just made on the table, go to your ...... It's really heavy!" Hong Tao smiled and let the second master into the house, then picked up the big flower pot from the tricycle, followed it with a grin, and with a hook of his foot, the door was closed.

"Oh, this house is really good, it's your yard, why don't you spread it easily, and no one cares about the sewer?" The second master walked through the kitchen, came to the main house, stood in front of the window, looked at the stagnant water in the yard, and was very puzzled.

"You really blame my aunt-in-law, you can also see from this house, it's all good, that yard is not allowed to be paved, do you know why? Hong Tao put the flower pot in the kitchen, then went back to his room and brought out the teacup, and gave the second master a cup of tea.

"Hey, don't mix it for me! How can you drink this tea, you make me a new one!" The second master has a lot of stinky problems drinking tea, his teapot never lets others move, Hong Tao doesn't give it, and he never drinks the tea in other people's cups, let alone drinks it.

"What's wrong with drinking such hot tea on a hot day!" Hong Tao muttered and poured the tea again, and then re-brewed the new tea.

"I said, why are you more and more lacking in virtue! Who did you learn this from? That sewer was blocked by your heart, right? If you don't go to the yard, you have to let others run all day long, you are too lacking in virtue! They are all neighbors, what big things can you use to be so ruthless, let me tell you, this person has to be kind, you can't ......" Just when Hong Tao was making tea, the second master understood it, and began to educate Hong Tao with his old-fashioned principles of life. (To be continued)
