Chapter 374: The Big Bed and Culture

"Brother Tie, is this place inhabitable now?" Zhang Tianyuan really wanted to move in immediately, if such a beautiful yard didn't live with people, it would be a pity.

"The yard was completed the day before you returned to the imperial capital, and it's not been a few days, my building is to be on board for a week, and then move in after the paint is dry and smellless." Tie Ruisheng thought for a moment.

"That's okay, I thought I would have to board at least half a year to move in, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"I'll be honest with you, it's all overtime. But I used some of the money you gave to give bonuses and subsidies to the workers, you wouldn't mind, would you? Tie Ruisheng asked.

"No, how could it be, that's as it should be." Zhang Tianyuan doesn't care about money, but where he should spend money, he still won't be stingy.

Let's talk about the construction of this quadrangle, if there is no overtime for the workers, who will build it for you so quickly? Isn't that a dream? The key is to do it quickly, the quality is good, which is even more rare, not to mention Tie Ruisheng's bonus, he wants to give those workers a good treat, and everyone will send a red envelope of 10,000 yuan!

Zhang Tianyuan went to see the house after looking at the yard.

The first room in his head is the main wing of the middle courtyard, in addition to the main hall used as a festival to worship the ancestors at the entrance of the year, there are two rooms on both sides of the house. Zhang Tianyuan originally planned to learn from the ancients to get an ancestral hall or something in his courtyard, since he has money, he always has to put up a score, restore the family tree, and put the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, which is also a good thing.

I didn't have any money before, so I didn't dare to think about these things. In fact, in their village, the Zhang family is a big family. More than half of the people in the whole village were actually members of the same family in previous generations, and this relationship is not far away. It's just that later everyone is trying to make a living, and the relationship gradually fades, although the genealogy is still there, but there is no patriarch or anything like that, and the genealogy is already a little dilapidated.

Zhang Tianyuan found the genealogy back when he was in Shaanzhou last time, and asked the old people in the village to help repair it, I can't remember the things that are too far away, but the things of recent generations, these old people still remember it in their hearts. It can also be repaired.

There is a tall incense table on the wall facing the door of the room, and under the incense table is a table of eight immortals, and on both sides are two Taishi chairs, both on the table and on the chair, there are exquisite carvings.

These furniture should be left by Xu Yue's family, although it is not the ancient furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it is also the furniture of the Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is better than the antique furniture now.

Xu Yue, if they hadn't been able to put so much at home, they would never have put this thing here.

Zhang Tianyuan used to like to watch Qing palace operas. Judging from the furnishings and structure of this room, it really looks like the furnishings in the palace, and when Tie Ruisheng placed the furniture and designed the structure of the room, it seemed that he was going in this direction.

Tie Ruisheng led Zhang Tianyuan to the side of the room. It startled Zhang Tianyuan.

"This is the room, how do I feel like the hall?"

"This room is fifty square meters, of course you look big! That's magnificent. Didn't you watch those aristocratic rooms on TV? That's called a bright one, since you bought such a big yard. Don't grieve yourself in the room, the whole is bigger. Wouldn't it be good to marry a few more wives in the future and enjoy the blessings of others like Wei Xiaobao? I've got you covered! Tie Ruisheng pointed to a huge bed in the room.

When Zhang Tianyuan saw the bed, he couldn't cry or laugh.

This is the largest bed in ancient China, the scientific name is the step bed, also called the eight-step bed.

The stepping bed is listed as "big bed" and "cool bed" in "Luban Jingjiang Family Background", which is actually the complex and simple form of the stepping bed. The stepping bed is a kind of large bed popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The unique feature of the Pull-out Bed is the addition of a "cabin" outside the shelf bed, which looks like the shelf bed is placed on an enclosed wooden platform.

The platform grows out of the front of the bed two or three feet, the four corners of the platform are inlaid with wooden fences, and some also install windows on both sides, so that a corridor is formed in front of the bed, although it is small but people can enter, people step into the corridor as if stepping into the room, a foot pedal is placed in the middle of the corridor, and small furniture such as tables and stools can be placed on both sides to place sundries.

This kind of bed is very large, and there is a relatively independent range of motion in front of the bed, although it is used indoors, it is like an independent small house. The bed is mostly used in the south, because the south is warm and there are many mosquitoes and flies, and the role of the bed frame is to hang mosquito nets. Furniture models excavated from the tomb of the Pan family in Shangpu, the Liao tomb in Fucheng in Beihe, and the tomb of the king of Huqiu all belong to this category.

In the north, it is different, because of the cold weather, people generally sleep on the warm ondol, even if the bed is used, in order to make the room spacious and bright, only need to install a lower bed circumference on the left, right and rear sides. The overall layout of this bed creates an environmental space like a small house in the middle of a room. There is a floor under the stepping bed, with a door railing, which has the meaning of "bed in bed, cover in cover".

But this is ancient times, modern rooms either have heating or air conditioning, in fact, I don't care about these anymore, now in the north except for the countryside, few people will go to the pankang.

To be precise, the full name of the bed in Zhang Tianyuan's room should be called "Beech Wood Gathering Begonia Flower Wrapping Bed".

The beech tree and begonia flower enclosure step bed is a popular bed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, this bed is 233 cm high, 250 cm long and 220 cm wide.

This bed is ten columns, placed on the flat ground, the size of the whole body is surrounded by begonia flowers, and the hanging flowers and teeth are also out of the begonia flowers, the style is unified, ethereal and sophisticated, and the decorative effect is excellent.

According to the "Popular Common Sayings", "Jing Hai Ji" is cited: "You can move the warm winter and summer cool gold lacquer step-up big cool bed to the twelve transparent upstairs", and said: "Today's rural people are still cloud-pulled, and urban people are anti-cloud-stepping beds, not also." The stepping bed is set up with a step outside the bed, and the step is set up as a house, that is, there are eaves, a step and a flower board. There is a "big bed" with a shelf outside the shelf.

With such a big bed, you can really sleep together, and if you put a cover on the outside, it's really convenient to do something inside.

"I remember that Xu Yue doesn't seem to have such a bed in their house, where did you get it, don't mention the bed that others have slept in. I don't like it, and neither do antiques. "Zhang Tianyuan is not clean. But the place to sleep should be used by others. He didn't feel well, especially if it had been used by a dead person, and it was even more uncomfortable.

"You just put a hundred hearts, this bed is a newly created antique bed, in order to meet the requirements of modern people's aesthetics and comfort, have been transformed, I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Tie Ruisheng said with a thumbs up.

"This bed must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Money is a fart, as long as you can satisfy your brother, you can marry a few more brothers and sisters for your brother." Tie Ruisheng quipped.

"I said Iron Brother. Why are you not serious again, don't forget that we are now a monogamous society, not to mention that even if I want to marry so much, others may not be willing to marry, now there are more wolves and less meat, which woman is willing to share a man with other women! Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly.

"Don't say that! If women were as good as you said, there would be no little three or two mothers in this world, so don't be too naΓ―ve, this world. Rich and powerful men, a few women are no problem, and those who have no ability can only make friends with their left and right hands. ”

"Alright, man. Let's not talk about this, women or anything, it's not for rough people like us to talk about. ”

"I'm a rough man. But you're not, you're a real reader. Tie Ruisheng smiled: "You smell this room, right?" ”

"Hmm. It's a bit fragrant, not like the smell of formaldehyde. Actually, I like to ask about the formaldehyde smell in the paint, although that thing is really harmful to the human body, haha. ”

"You and I have a fight, brother, when I was a child, I liked to smell the smoke coming out of the tractor chimney, it smells very good." Tie Ruisheng said with a smile: "But seriously, although you can't smell it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, the formaldehyde contained in the paint is in line with safety standards, but you can't move in immediately, that's why I let you live in a week." ”

"Oh, that's right."

"You'll be glad that some people have renovated their houses and only dared to move in after a few months. This time I used the paint, which is the best in China, and it is also in the forefront in the world, especially the formaldehyde degree is very low, which I am very satisfied with, but it is a little more expensive. ”

"You are not afraid, the key is to be safe." Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, no matter what, safety is always much more important than money, people die, money is still a fart.

Zhang Tianyuan noticed that there was a lot of activated carbon in the room, which is also something that can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, after all, it is impossible for any paint to contain formaldehyde at all.

"Well, not bad! It's really good! But I heard that there doesn't seem to be central heating equipment in the courtyard here, so there is no heating in winter? "After all, the imperial capital is a northern city, and it is very sad to have an unheated winter.

Of course, if not, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't care, when they are in the countryside, there is no heating, the house is burned with charcoal stoves, the pollution is a little bigger, but it is also very warm, in this big city, it is always possible to use air conditioning.

"You can rest assured, the heating supply is absolutely there, you haven't been to the imperial capital a few times, so I don't know, now the old city is renovated, and you can have central heating here, of course, you can also do it, you can use air conditioning yourself." Tie Ruisheng said.

"Where are the radiators installed?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"You didn't find it? See that porcelain vase on the wall, right? Take a closer look! Tie Ruisheng pointed to a porcelain vase by the wall and said.

Zhang Tianyuan took a closer look and found that what kind of porcelain bottle was there, it was simply a very exquisitely designed radiator guardrail.

Now even if it is an ordinary apartment in the city, it will not let the radiator be exposed, because it is too ugly, when the house is generally decorated, it will be made of wood and other things to make a protective fence, which is both beautiful and generous, but it is really rare to make a porcelain bottle like this, I don't know, I really think there is a big porcelain bottle.

"Also, can you find a light in this room?" Tie Ruisheng asked with a smile.

Zhang Tianyuan really couldn't find it, there was no switch, no lamp, he thought there were no these things in this room.

"At that time, when Designer Lin designed, he took into account the need to closely combine the modern lighting equipment with the cultural atmosphere of the room itself, so he played a little trick, you can actually find it if you look carefully, the switches are in a very convenient place, and the plugs, network cables, telephone lines and other jacks are also in a very convenient place, but they have made some cover-ups."
