Chapter 87: The Scholar's House

This house, that serious is a good house under the root of the imperial city, this Zhou Yaren immediately found the Guan family, asked the price or something properly, transferred to Xia Qing's "Yunlai Inn", left the news of the house to Er, and decided, he came to wait for someone at the beginning of every day! ☆→☆→☆→☆→

As soon as Zhou donor saw Xia Qing's eyes lit up, he sat down and drank tea while detailing the origin of this house: this house is in the sweet water well alley between Chongwen Gate and Dongbian Gate in the inner city, and the house of this sweet water well alley is a large large courtyard house, which was originally built by a university scholar in the Han Dynasty, which is very generous and famous for its elegance. It is famous for its landscaping. The current owner of the house is a third-rank official of the Ministry of Works. Because the house is too big and violates the regulations, a house that is specially separated from it covers an area of one and a half points, about twelve acres.

Xia Qing sighed in her heart, twelve acres, how big is this! This is the imperial city of the national capital, not a casual rural boundary, an inner city where every inch of land is valuable. The house in the inner city can really only be described as a sought-after item, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not stained with dust on the ground, generally speaking, the original owner has not moved, and the new owner is guarding the gate, you must know that the most central place in the inner city lives the Son of Heaven!

A twelve-acre house in the inner city is obviously his biggest opportunity so far.

The miscellaneous books I bought a few days ago were not bought in vain, and Xia Qing knew from the book that since the founding of the country three hundred years ago, until now, most of the houses were built in accordance with the system of "customizing eight acres of land for one point", and the rich families at that time. I will customize this into a homestead for one point and buy two or three points to build a house. Since the beginning of the dynasty, the specifications of this house have basically not changed much. After the completion of the yard, it is generally divided into three categories: large and medium according to the number of rooms in the house. What grade of house to live in, how high the status is with how high the threshold, how many nails can be installed on the door, what color of paint can be painted, and how many layers can be raised on the steps in front of the door, there are rules in the open and in the dark! If you trespass, it is a big sin to put anyone on your head! Even if you are a prince, you can't do it.

Xia Qing stood at the mouth of Tianshuijing Hutong with the same week. At a glance, I understood that what this weekly donor said was true, and it was indeed a rare house.

As far as Zhou donors know. It turns out that the whole house has seven entrances, and the north and south nine occupy a tenth of the large mansion, and from a distance, I see the layers of houses separated by green woods. Scattered buildings and pavilions occupy the middle. All the big houses are carved and painted, which is the highest level of craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the previous dynasty. Anyway, there are a lot of exquisite mansions that Zhou Donor has seen, and this house can be called one of the best.

"Xia Keguan, this kind of large courtyard is alternately set, and with such a large scale, except that the number of stages at the gate of this courtyard is not enough, it is okay to do Beizi Mansion. Now there is such a courtyard separated by this. Sincerity is rare!"

"I understand this, it's all your care!" Xia Qing smiled. I really think that this is the credit of Zhou Donor.

From his mouth, Xia Qing knew some things about the owner of this house. The current owner of the house is a waiter officer surnamed Guan of the Ministry of Works, because he is an official in charge of the official house, how can this house not be counted as an official house, then there is some fame, but no matter what, if this house is all used, according to the regulations of the current court, his official position is higher, even if it is counted according to a product, it is against the system, if someone reports him, he will wait to dismiss the official and cut off his head, but his old mother has taken a fancy to the scenery in this house, the original owner is a bachelor of the previous dynasty, and he prides himself ** Extraordinary understanding of life, that is not the general two kinds of toss, their own house to be refined, with the idea of thousands of generations, the ups and downs of the construction time will be years, not counting the windows, door frames or something, the exclusive person has been doing it for five years, who would have expected that the change of dynasty would come so quickly, and this house would change hands immediately. It's a pity that the university scholar repairs this house, the front and back gardens are open and exquisite, the fish pond inside is clear, the rockery piled up by Taihu Lake stone is exquisite, the pavilion is three steps and a scene, the peach blossom forest, the osmanthus garden, the plum forest, the lotus pond and so on are really nothing down, all the window lattices, gatehouses, cabinet wall carvings are old, the materials are exquisite, the pendulum of the hanging flower door verandah zigzags step by step is the scene, I didn't live for a few years before I changed the owner, I had the fate to get this yard Guan Lao, invited my mother to see, this look at Guan Taijun is very unavoidable,

There is no way, the old lady has taken a fancy to it, and the only way to be a son is to find a way to eat this house, and the filial son Guan thought about it, and finally came up with a way, and also divided the family on the bright side, and the three brothers set up their own households, so that they could each occupy their own share of the yard. But the house is too big, the three brothers each according to the upper limit of the regulation, a total of five points of land, the old lady has a property under her name, it is considered a dowry occupies an area of one and a half points, and the three ladies also occupy a total of two points of land in the name of the dowry, which is already the maximum value within the scope of the regulation, but the grandchildren can not use it, and the family that is not divided is not counted in the share, and finally, it is forced to divide the house, covering an area of one and a half points.

This method is very popular in the inner city, and there is no one who does not know how to do it. The official of the Ministry of Industry is also a big official, and it is the department in charge of the official house, and there are many talents under him, so he divided the original mansion into two in three or two, and rebuilt the front door of a house towards the mouth of the alley, the shadow wall is very complete, between the two houses, the partition wall is erected high, and there is a garden interval, and the traces of division are not very heavy. also takes into account the feng shui of the two houses, although you can still see the traces of separation, but it is really a common thing.

"How can this house be left for a year and no one will buy it?"

Xia Qing was not dazzled by this opportunity, this is a good house, it is true, because it is good, it is impossible to leave it for a year without selling it, right?

"At first glance, Xia Keguan is a discerning person, how about we look at the house?"

Naturally, Xia Qing followed him and entered the house through the side door. A man dressed as a butler stood by on the side. Seeing that Zhou Donor was coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, there was no way, the master confessed, this house was going to be shot as soon as possible, and there were already colleagues who couldn't see it muttering in front of their bosses!

Xia Qing looked at the steps of the courtyard gate, it was not high, the threshold was not high, the courtyard wall was very new, and there was not much dust in the tile eaves ditch. It can be seen that it is really newly separated.

"The shopkeeper's fellow guest officer, please come in!"

Xia Qing smiled and went in with the mood of a day trip! )
