Chapter 229 [Liu Family Courtyard III]
Through the front yard, I came to the main house where the master lived, which is also the main house of the main yard sitting north to south. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is sunny and covers an area of 200 square meters, very high-end, and the foundation is also made of bluestone bars, there are seven steps.
After entering the main room, there is a living room in the middle, a study on the left, and a master's bedroom on the right, but there is a large bathroom inside. Due to the very high terrain and the sun is shining from north to south, even though it is late autumn, the indoor temperature has reached about 15 degrees Celsius with the doors and windows open.
The house is full of antique furniture, but it is all ordinary red pine furniture. There are no precious furniture furnishings such as red sandalwood and yellow pear, but the living room is very bright, and the area is also large.
After sitting down at the Eight Immortals table, Liu Qingyun's wife brought a pot of freshly brewed Maojian tea from outside, and the tea was very good. The aroma surrounded, a few people sat down, and after drinking the tea, Qingyun asked Lefu with a smile.
"Mr. Lefou, if I hadn't known in advance that you were a foreigner, it would have been hard for me to imagine that you were a Chinese American."
Lefou's facial features are slightly like Westerners, but with black hair, yellow skin and black eyes, it is easy for others to recognize him as an Oriental. This is not the first time someone has asked him this, so Lefu said with a grin.
"Mr. Liu, you see it well, if I am based on the blood relationship of our race, I am indeed very close to you Orientals. Because I am an Indian, tens of thousands of years ago, due to the freezing of the Bering Strait, some Asians from the Mongolian Plateau came to North America through the Bering Strait. Life has formed the Indian headquarters today, so it is not surprising that I look like an Oriental. ”
This is already an open secret in the world, because the Indian race is very close to the Mongolian race of the Mongolian plateau by blood or genetically. It migrated to North America through the Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago, and to really count the kinship of the Indian race. Similar to the Chinese, the two sides are like a pair of very distant cousins.
This time Liu Qingyun was relieved, to be honest, this Liu family compound was built by Liu Qingyun's father and several uncles when he was a child. It was for his grandfather's pension, but before the house was built, his grandfather drove the crane to the west. Then the Liu family also began to separate, and Liu Qingyun's father was the main funder when he built the Liu family compound because he was the eldest son, so the Liu family compound was left to Liu Qingyun's father.
The construction of this Liu family compound cost more than 6 million yuan, which was built by the joint efforts of the entire Liu family. To be honest, it is representative of the family, although Liu Qingyun wants to sell the Liu family compound, but in his heart he is unwilling to sell it to those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners.
Although Lefu is an Indian race, everyone is yellow-skinned and black-eyed, and they are born with a sense of intimacy. So selling the Liu family's compound to an Indian like Lefu, Liu Qingyun didn't have a little psychological burden, and after a cup of hot tea, Liu Qingyun took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile.
"Time is pressing, presumably Mr. Lefu can't wait to see the whole picture of the Liu family's compound. Now I will take Mr. Hu and Mr. Long to visit the Liu family compound, and then the Liu family compound will be a new house built 30 years ago. ”
"However, whether it is the materials or the design, they are all built in accordance with the style of the courtyard house in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. This house is a little shorter, and it is the most classic courtyard house, which Mr. Lefu likes very much. ”
Waiting for your words, I'm here to buy a house, not to drink tea. Instead of listening to you tell the history of the Liu family, finally got to the point, Le Fu quickly put down the teacup in his hand and stood up to tidy up his clothes, and then followed Liu Qingyun and Long Aotian to visit the Liu family compound.
Liu Qingyun didn't lie and was still a relatively honest person, except that the Liu family compound was built a little shorter. Whether it is the materials or the design, they are all built using the design scheme of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and there is an antique flavor everywhere, and even the windows of the houses are one by one, and the inside is inlaid with glass.
Since the size of a house is different, the bed room is very comfortable. Regardless of the size of the area, they all have their own independent bathroom, the east and west spans are quadrangles, there are four houses before and after, the main house is generally the master's house, and the east and west wings are also the rooms where the master's children live.
These owners live in a room with a variety of living facilities, and the area is of course not the same, with their own independent living room. The study, bedroom, and even the bathroom, the south house is basically a room where the servants live, all of which are 20 cm independent bedrooms with a small bathroom and a shower.
Although the house is vacant now, the inside of the house is very clean, there are any insect and rat bites, and there are no weeds in the yard. A courtyard house is composed of five sets of courtyard houses, with more than 56 large and small rooms, as well as four warehouses, a kitchen and two storage rooms. There is also a small underground cellar with a volume of twenty tons, which is now empty. It is made of bluestone, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the thermal insulation effect is very good, and it is a good place to store wine.
It took half an hour to visit all the rooms, and Lefu said he was very satisfied. Clean, bright, tidy, the room is filled with the fragrance of fresh wood, the lighting is very sufficient, coupled with the high terrain and ventilation conditions are very good, there is no trace of mold and rot.
After visiting all the rooms, there are moon gates on both sides of the main house, which can inform the back garden, the back garden, although it is late autumn. Many plants have begun to lose their leaves and dormant, but the scenery in the back garden is very beautiful, it can be said that there are rockeries, there are many ponds, and there are all kinds of plants planted, and Lefu even saw hundreds of bamboos in a corner.
The four gentlemen in the traditional Chinese cultural food, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, can be found in this back garden. There is also a pond covering an area of more than ten acres, and there is a small pavilion in the pond, where you can take the whole family to rest and enjoy the lotus flowers in the pond and various koi swimming around.
The three-meter-high stone courtyard wall built at the back of the back garden was introduced by Mr. Liu Qingyun to know that the Liu family compound was in the innermost part of the small mountain village. Liujia Village was originally a small mountain village on the top of the mountain now, with only one passage, surrounded by mountains on three sides, after turning over the courtyard wall, there are cliffs of dozens of meters below.
In the past, it was very inconvenient to draft water, because it was impossible to dig a well on top of an earthen platform tens of meters high. Twenty years ago, the Liu family compound dug a pond and built a pavilion in the pond to increase the landscape of the back garden.
The entire Liu family compound, the area of the front and back together exceeds 150 acres, and there are ten acres of mountainous land in the cultivated land of Liujia Village. More than fifty acres of barren mountains and forests are the property of the Liu family, and if Lefu buys the Liu family's compound, then these sixty acres of land are also included. Although it is cultivated land on the hillside, the output value is only 60% of that of the plain, but ten acres of land is enough for the Lefu family.
