Chapter 88: The Mansion at the Root of the Imperial City

PS: There is silver willful buying, buying, buying, hey, it's good to be so capricious in the realistic version, the house prices of the Celestial Empire, in a daze!

The housekeeper of the Guan family took it, and while walking, he introduced, Xia Qing calmed down, looked carefully, and looked at the whole courtyard, the front yard was shallow in depth, with three houses as the gatehouse, plus a row of six inverted houses. It's all brand new, and then the shadow wall turns into the inner door and enters the outer courtyard, but it can be seen that it has been a few years, and sure enough, the building is exquisite and exquisite, completely different from the so-called antique buildings that Xia Qing saw in later generations. The garden of the outer courtyard is smaller, planted with a few magnolia trees and other trees, there are big fish tanks in the four corners, three halls in the middle, this one stands a big offering table in the middle, the housekeeper introduced, this is the place for the ancestors, the left and right two open high doors, according to the rules set up for the outer study, the living room, the left and right ear rooms have a hall, along the hand-copying verandah into the main courtyard, the ear room can be used as a pulp washing room, with the use of the storeroom. The six wings on the east and west are set up as guest rooms. The east ear room is a thatched house, and the west ear room is a large kitchen.

"This way, please!" the housekeeper of the Guan family led the two of them towards the hanging flower gate to the east.

"This one opens on the edge of the east chamber and hangs through the door. It is the only passage between the backyard and the main courtyard, and it is very quiet to live! There is only one road from the main courtyard to the backyard, along the verandah, along the verandah, along the east hall, through the hanging flower door into the backyard. ”

Steward Guan pointed to the road again: "The hall that goes straight along here is an inner hall closed by the daughter wall, and then you will be in the back cover room." The implication is that there is a difference between inside and outside, and it is easy to manage.

The back cover room, that is where the servants lived, this Xia Qing knew.

The main courtyard is a residential room, and there are five neatly repaired and bright north rooms. There are 3 rooms in the east and 3 rooms in the west wing. There are large gardens, rockeries, flower stands, and grape trellises. During this season, you can also see that the plants that have survived the winter are still vigorous.

The best thing is that the main courtyard should have been built into an ear room, but it was built with three north houses, all of which have exquisite small gardens, exquisite moon gates, and bluestone lotus ponds in the east courtyard. There are five old plum trees in the west courtyard. The two cross-courtyard houses can be opened to the back garden, which is really a sight. It is really a good place for self-cultivation, and the east and west ear rooms are naturally divided into toilets and stove rooms. There are five south rooms in a row, but they are very spacious. At first glance, it looks like a storeroom.

I followed the housekeeper to the backyard, but I saw that this was more exquisitely repaired, and at first glance it was specially repaired for my daughter, and the window railings and the like were all whole Ruyi peony flowers, and the five north rooms were neatly organized! There are four rooms in the south room, which is also a storeroom style, and there is a big back garden in the middle, the backyard garden is also big enough, and there is a daughter wall more than one person high in the east, and there is a gazebo in the corner of the plum forest, although it is late autumn and early winter, there is no greenery, but you can also expect the beautiful scenery when the plum blossoms bloom. The east and west ear rooms are the same as the toilet and the stove room as usual.

The rooms in the back room are exquisitely small and divided into many rooms. There is a long and narrow courtyard paved with bluestone, which is large enough for servants to live, and the bathroom and toilet are opposite each other. Behind the gable of the back cover room is the garden of the Guan family, Xia Qing went in to see it, it is also a row of houses behind the garden, it should be the place where the female dependents live, the west gable is separated from the Guan family by two feet of dripping, but there is the east wing of the Guan family. The gable to the east is the Chessboard Alley.

After looking at the yard, Xia Qing was not satisfied, so she said goodbye to the housekeeper. I said I would go back and discuss it. This is certain, the housekeeper of the Guan family did not point to the fact that he could make up his mind immediately, everyone laughed and broke up, and Xia Qing still went back to the inn to explain the origin of the Guan family's mansion in detail.

"Officer Xiake, what you're worried about is why this house is so good. But it can't be sold, in fact, we are all clear about the reasons inside, you look good at this house, but others don't necessarily look at it, you see. Because the whole house is tightly re-regulated by the highest level of Guan Daren, the part that is separated is a little embarrassing, the whole yard looks square and square, and there is no lack of feng shui, and it is good to build a house for one and a half minutes, but the courtyard that comes out is a small house and a large garden! If you want to build it well, you have to destroy part of the garden. Mrs. Guan didn't allow it, so she didn't build a new one, but just separated it. ”

Xia Qing, who comes from modern times, really didn't think that this horse ring carriage house was necessary, but if you think about it carefully, this is really the reason, at this time, how can the family of the official slaughterer not have horses? Besides, as long as it becomes an official family, who is not a lady and aunt, and more than 20 people with children and daughters, plus servants or something, can easily be a population of hundreds or something. This makes it impossible for small officials to live in it, and not enough for big officials, and the location is here, surrounded by households, and it cannot be expanded, which is also one of the reasons why this courtyard is difficult to sell. Xia Qing thinks this is a reason!

"So it's been almost a year since Mr. Guan's family happily moved into the new house, and no one has come to buy this house. When Zhou Donor said this, his saliva was really dry, and he hurriedly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, it was really not easy, when did he start to introduce the house in the inner city?

Xia Qing didn't want any horse rings, saying that there were slightly fewer houses, but in Xia Qing's opinion, so many rooms were completely enough, and even more, there were eleven rooms in one courtyard, not counting the cross-courtyard kitchen or something. The house is sandwiched between the mansions of these great officials, and the safety is guaranteed. As soon as you enter this sweet water well alley, you feel very quiet, which is a perfect hit.

Zhou donors don't know, in fact, the Guan family has not bought this house for a year, and there is another key reason, this Guan Daren has a very good heart, and it is not easy to sell the officials of the same dynasty, and he does not want to sell it, you know, the feng shui of this house was specially visited by the master. Very good, a good house for prosperity and promotion, the most selfish idea can not be prosperous competitors in the first place, the ideal buyer of Guan Daren is a merchant, or a noble scholar. And Mr. Guan didn't know, but Mrs. Guan secretly calculated that if her son's official hat could be bigger, the merchants would be able to handle it and buy it back. This, but Mrs. Guan's careful thinking. Guan people don't know, but it doesn't prevent the Guan family from agreeing on this house.

This is not something that Xia Qing could have expected, it is said that people's hearts are not ancient, and when Mrs. Guan tossed it later, Xia Qing was speechless, if it is really such a big thing as buying a house, you must be in a hurry, you must be steady. Of course, now Xia Qing only thinks that she has picked up a bargain.

"How much does this house cost?"

"The actual price, two thousand three hundred taels!" (To be continued.)
