Chapter 299: The Courtyard of the Capital

Chapter 299 Capital Courtyard

Everyone here knows Chu Yao's money, and Qin Zihe is still brought up by her, so it is appropriate for Qin Zihe's marriage to be handled by her, so she didn't say anything, which can be regarded as acquiescence. Chu Lao and Bai Lao drank a glass of wine and put down their chopsticks after eating some food, and everyone quickly put down their chopsticks. Chu Lao said: "You eat slowly, I haven't seen Lao Bai for many years, go to the study to chat." ”

Everyone sent Chu Lao and Bai Lao to the study, and after they came back, no one had any worries to eat anymore, and they simply put down their chopsticks after a few bites. Bai Lao didn't leave, Bai Jingshan and Bai Ling couldn't go, Chu Shijie invited Bai Jingshan and them to sit in the living room for a while and chat casually, Liang Xueqing was reluctant to participate in their man's chat, and wanted to take her daughter Bai Ling out to breathe, Chu Yao said: "Minister Bai, I'll go with you."

Bai Jingshan saw that his wife was accompanied by Chu Yao, so he went to the living room with Chu Shijie, the military and the political circles seem to have no business contacts, in fact, they are inextricably linked, he also wants to exchange opinions with Chu Shijie on some things that are usually difficult to communicate, although Liang Xueqing is also a deputy minister in the political circles, but with her next to some questions, he really can't open his mouth, that is, he himself does not taboo his wife, Chu Shijie is not necessarily.

Chu Yao pulled Qin Zihe to accompany Liang Xueqing's mother and daughter to walk beside the artificial lake in the backyard while talking, of course, the topic revolved around the marriage of Qin Zihe and Bai Ling, and walked to the pavilion in the middle of the artificial lake through the trestle bridge, Chu Yao said: "Minister Bai, let's sit here for a while, it is cool and good here." ”

"Okay" Liang Xueqing saw that it was indeed quite cool here, much stronger than in the living room, so she agreed, in addition, just now she and Chu Yao only talked about her daughter's marriage, and she wanted to continue to discuss this issue, so she agreed and pulled her daughter Bai Ling to sit down on the stone bench in the pavilion. There were exactly four stone benches in the pavilion, Chu Yao and Liang Xueqing sat opposite each other, and Qin Zihe sat opposite Bai Ling.

The service staff in Chu Lao's Home saw Chu Yao and them sitting down in the pavilion from a distance, and immediately made four cups of tea and brought them up on a tray, Chu Yao nodded and expressed her gratitude, and after the service staff retreated, she said: "The marriage between Zihe and Bai Ling, the first thing to solve is the house problem, Bai Ling, I don't know what kind of house you like?" ”

Bai Ling was very reluctant to get married, and he didn't think about some questions about marriage at all, the house was not a problem at all for people of their level, Chu Yao didn't have any idea in his heart at all, so he said: "Any house, you can ask him" said, pouting to Qin Zihe.

Qin Zihe saw Chu Yao turn his gaze to him, thought for a while and said: "Auntie, I want to buy a courtyard house in Beijing as our new house, I like the antique style of the courtyard, of course, this courtyard is not the kind of miscellaneous courtyard that can be seen everywhere in Beijing, I want the kind of compound left by those dignitaries and nobles in the former Qing Dynasty, with gardens, green spaces, artificial lakes, and corridors." ”

Chu Yao saw that Qin Zihe didn't want an apartment or a villa, but wanted this kind of old-fashioned courtyard house, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Zihe, why did you think of wanting a courtyard?" ”

In fact, what Qin Zihe wants is not the old Beijing courtyard in the traditional sense, but the courtyard of the former Qing Dynasty's palace, or the kind of compound where officials above the third grade live, although this kind of compound is not well preserved, but at this time, with the energy of the Chu family, it is not a problem to buy such a courtyard at all, if after 2000, this kind of courtyard is kept as a cultural relic, even if you have money and power, you can't buy it.

But Qin Zihe wouldn't say that, he pondered for a while and said: "I think so, Beijing is developing at a very fast speed now, it can be said that it is the same every day, and if it continues to develop at this rate, we can imagine what Beijing will be like at that time?" Undoubtedly, there are many high-rise buildings, densely populated, now this kind of quadrangle is not much, at that time if you want to find a yard with green space, gardens and artificial lakes, it is simply unimaginable, the most important thing is that I like to be quiet, I don't like to live in the same building block with many people at all, even if it is some villas developed now, one by one, the spacing is very small, then such a compound, with a wall is their own quiet world"

"Okay" Chu Yao just wanted to know Qin Zihe's thoughts, there was no intention to stop him, marriage was a major event in Qin Zihe's life, not to mention that he wanted a courtyard house, even if he wanted a palace in the Forbidden City, as long as there was a price, Chu Yao would not hesitate to buy it for him. After agreeing to this, she felt that marriage was a matter for Qin Zihe and Bai Ling, and she had to ask for his opinion, so she looked at her and asked, "Bai Ling, what do you think?" ”

Bai Ling had an opinion on Qin Zihe in her heart, when Chu Yao asked her what kind of house she wanted to get married, she could have no idea in her heart, but she objected to what Qin Zihe agreed, and immediately said when she heard this: "What's so good about that kind of dilapidated courtyard, it's old and broken, there is no air conditioning in summer, there is no heating in winter, how far you have to go to the toilet, how can you use such a house as a wedding room?"

Qin Zihe smiled and said: "What you said is not a problem, we can redecorate and renovate after buying the courtyard, for the appearance of the courtyard, we ask professionals to repair it in the original style, maintain the original appearance, and decorate the interior of the house in accordance with the most advanced modern home model, what heating, air conditioning, and bathroom are not a problem at all." ”

"But......" Bai Ling instinctively objected, but he couldn't find a proper reason for a while, and said in a hurry: "That's not good, even if these are not a problem, but the kind of courtyard house you want to buy must be very big, usually you work in Songjiang, how afraid I am to live alone in such a big place."

Qin Zihe smiled and said: "How can we buy such a big yard and let you live alone, usually the maintenance of the garden and artificial lake, the sanitation of the yard, laundry, cooking and security will require a lot of manpower, and I will hire some reliable people to serve us at that time, you don't have to worry." ”

Bai Ling was a little anxious when he heard this: "It takes a lot of money to hire so many people, how much is your and me's salary a month, how can you have the money to hire people?" ”

Chu Yao smiled when he heard this and said, "Bai Ling, you don't have to worry about this problem, as soon as you get married, I will give you a sum of money that you can't spend in your lifetime."

"Ah......h

Liang Xueqing heard that Qin Zihe wanted to buy a courtyard house to get married, looking at the beautiful scenery around the artificial lake, she was very moved, in the capital in addition to the older generation's ** family needs to recuperate after retirement, the country is equipped with such a house, it is really difficult to find such a beautiful courtyard, seeing her daughter's strong opposition, she finally couldn't help but say: "Ling'er, I think it is more appropriate to buy a courtyard house, so it's decided"
