Chapter 125: The Courtyard (End)
Although the colors on these doors have faded slightly after the erosion of time, it can still be seen that the prosperity of the year has also witnessed the rise and fall of the times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, the history of the courtyard is very long. Since the Yuan Dynasty officially established the capital of Kyoto and planned the construction of the capital on a large scale, the courtyard houses appeared at the same time as the palaces, government offices, blocks, alleys and alleys of Kyoto. According to Xiong Mengxiang's "Analysis of Jinzhi" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty: "The Dadu street system, from the south to the north is called the meridian, and from the east to the west is called the weft. The street is twenty-four steps wide, three hundred and eighty-four long lanes, and twenty-nine lanes are open.
Zhang Junyi walked through the screen door and formed a small transition space with the gate. From there, turn west into the outer courtyard.
The south room of the west of the gate facing the central axis of the house is called "inverted seat", which is used as a guest room, and there are male servant rooms and kitchens and toilets in the outer courtyard; From the outer courtyard, through a central gate in the style of a hanging flower gate, you will enter the spacious inner courtyard.
Director Zhang followed closely beside Zhang Junyi and said: "Mr. Zhang, this is the middle door, which is generally not opened, in fact, it is just a scene, in ancient times, there was a holy decree or a distinguished guest came to the door, the so-called big open middle door is to open this door, more as a courtesy." “
Zhang Junyi listened to Director Zhang's introduction, Director Zhang at this time is a government cadre, but more like a tour guide, he knows this set of courtyard well, from the feng shui pattern of the courtyard to the inconspicuous decoration on the hanging flower door, which can be quoted from the classics and eloquently, so that Zhang Junyi can listen to it with relish.
Zhang Junyi kept shuttling in the courtyard, passing through the exquisite hanging flower door and gatehouse, this is the front yard, a very ordinary small courtyard pattern, the main house, the east and west wings, a hanging flower door in the east leads directly to the middle courtyard, after entering the middle courtyard, it is a garden that covers a large area, but it has been left unattended for a long time, and it has been deserted.
From the outer courtyard into the inner courtyard of the middle gate, into the eye is a small gate house called the hanging flower door, Shi Hanging Mountain "hook and tie" the top of the two double slope tops are connected, the shape is exquisite.
The south room has a verandah through the mountain, which is a corridor that is opened with a gable wall and connected. In this way, several courtyards are formed that are connected to each other in the east, west, north and south.
After the middle courtyard and the backyard, these three courtyards, are places for people to live, generally the next person lives in the front yard, the younger generation lives in the middle yard, and the longest generation lives in the backyard, some of the wings are changed into a study, living room and kitchen, the big family in ancient times is each room separately opened, there are several kitchens.
Zhang Junyi went all the way, roughly calculated, this can be used as a living room, there are more than 20, it is enough to open a small hotel, and these rooms are only half of the entire courtyard, there is a garden in the front and back, there are ponds and pavilions, it can be seen how luxurious the life of those officials in ancient times.
"Director Zhang, the environment of this house is quiet, and the layout is quite good, to be honest, I like it, but it seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, and it will be a trouble to decorate it at that time."
Seeing the weeds growing everywhere in the courtyard, some of them along the stone road, and even extending to the door of the house, Zhang Junyi couldn't help frowning, if he bought it, he probably wouldn't be able to live in it for a while.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Zhang, this house has been vacant since the office was moved to another place, you see that such a large area, it is too troublesome to maintain, and our government finances have been relatively tight in recent years, so the fixed maintenance of this house has been put on hold," Director Zhang couldn't help but say with a wry smile.
If such a large house is maintained and repaired every year, it will take a lot of money, and the national government's finances are so tight that there are places where money is used everywhere, and the limited finances must be used on the cutting edge.
"But please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, if you really buy this house, it will be much better if I send a few people to clean up the house at that time." Director Zhang also knew that Zhang Junyi would definitely return to Xiangjiang in the near future, and Zhang Junyi, as the top tycoon in Xiangjiang, would definitely not have time to deal with these miscellaneous matters, so he took the initiative to take over the job.
This is Director Zhang's cleverness, after all, Director Zhang knows that he can't stay in the ministry all the time, and at a certain time, Director Zhang knows that he will definitely be delegated.
Now he can help Zhang Junyi deal with some miscellaneous things to form some good fate, a top rich man like Zhang Junyi, he can't use it now, and he will definitely use it when he goes to the place in the future.
Zhang Junyi hesitated a little in his heart, this big house has not been lived in for a long time, it looks a little dilapidated, and it lacks a little popularity, the whole yard is overgrown with grass, Zhang Junyi is a little uncomfortable to see, and all the rooms are empty, and the roof is still a little leaky, this is not a small project to be renovated.
"I don't know if Director Zhang knows an expert who is proficient in the decoration of ancient buildings, otherwise if I buy it and find a general decoration company to decorate, after the decoration is completed, the appearance of the courtyard will definitely be out of taste!" Zhang Junyi stood in place, thought about it for a while, and asked Director Zhang.
In the memory of Zhang Junyi's previous life, it was exposed on the Internet that a foreigner bought a set of courtyard houses, and after the decoration, the whole one or four was not like it, and the foreigner didn't see any difference at that time, but Zhang Junyi bought it to live by himself, and he must have to invite people who professionally repair ancient buildings, but in this era, the restoration of ancient buildings is relatively unpopular, and it is not easy to find talents in this area.
"Of course, Director Zhang, please rest assured, if you can help me invite a few university professors who are proficient in ancient architecture, I will definitely satisfy them in terms of material!" Zhang Junyi added.
Hearing Zhang Junyi's assurance, Director Zhang was relieved, he himself worked in the Ministry of Education, so there was no problem with this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, I will definitely find you a few professors in this area when the time comes!" “
Director Zhang is not afraid that Zhang Junyi will find him to do things now, but hopes that the more things he will do, the better, so that the more favors between the two will accumulate, and they will be delegated to the local government in the future, and Director Zhang believes that Zhang Junyi will definitely be able to support him at that time.
Zhang Junyi heard Director Zhang's assurance, and no longer hesitated, after all, there would be no such shop in this village, Zhang Junyi knew the tightness of the 21st century courtyard in his previous life, "Then please Director Zhang, I won't look at the house in another place, just this courtyard, I want it!" Zhang Junyi didn't bother to go shopping anymore, and said to Director Zhang.
