Chapter 60: The City of Beijing

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing has gathered a variety of cultures, leaving behind many places of interest and cultural landscapes, and is the center of national politics, culture, education, finance and international exchanges.

Geographically, it is located at the northern end of the North China Plain, connected to Jincheng in the southeast, and surrounded by Hebei Province in the rest, with an area of more than 16,000 square meters. The west is the west mountain of the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountain Range, and the north is the Jundu Mountain of the Yanshan Mountain Range, and the two mountains intersect in the Nankou Guangou, forming a semicircular mountain bend that spreads out to the southeast, and also forms a plain.

"The land of Youzhou, the left is surrounded by the sea, the right is Taihang, the north pillow is Yong, the south is the river, and the country of Chengtianfu is the capital city, which is definitely a piece of feng shui treasure land of the treasure of the sky.

This is because Beijing is located at the intersection of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, the northern end of the North China Plain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, Taihang Mountain and Jundu Mountain form a natural semicircular barrier.

To the south, there are large rivers, mainly the Sanggan River from the Loess Plateau and the Yanghe River from the Mongolian Plateau to form the Yongding River.

The Yongding River is surging, rushing out of the valley in the west of Beijing after passing through the deep mountains and old forests, and then stretching and flowing in the small plains of the south of Beijing, forming many large and small rivers, shaped like bead nets, and scattered with a large number of lakes.

Such a geography is a model of mountains and rivers, and it is also a treasure land for Tibetan wind and qi.

The plane landed slowly, Zheng Tianlong walked out of the airport with Xu Nianzhen, and a car had been waiting next to him for a long time.

"Mr. Xu, please."

Xu Nianzhen nodded, but she didn't get into the car immediately, but said to Zheng Tianlong, "Master Zheng, please." ”

The driver next to him saw Xu Nianzhen's attitude towards Zheng Tianlong so respectful, and a strange and shocked expression appeared on his face - he had never seen Xu Nianzhen so respectful to a person, especially this person was still so young.

Xu Nianzhen's respect came from the heart, Zheng Tianlong found her last night, handed her a small wooden plaque and said to wear it. As a result, the "strange sight" that has been bothering me for a while since the moment I put it on first became blurry, and then completely disappeared within half an hour.

When I go to bed at night, I sleep until dawn, and my insomnia and nightmares disappear.

Xu Nianzhen knew that he had met a superior - although Zheng Tianlong was younger than himself, he had gained her respect.

The car slowly left the airport and entered the street, this was Zheng Tianlong's first time in Beijing, and he kept looking out the window with curiosity.

"So that's what Beijing looks like?!"

Zheng Tianlong looked at the high-rise buildings on both sides, and sighed silently in his heart, this time he came to Beijing City at the invitation of Xu Nianzhen to find out the source of the evil qi on her body.

"Master Zheng is here for the first time?"

Xu Nianzhen and Zheng Tianlong sat in the back seat together, and when they saw him with such an expression, they knew that it was the first time they came.

Retracting his gaze, Zheng Tianlong nodded and said, "Yes, the first time I came, it was even more majestic and beautiful than I imagined. ”

As early as when he was studying, Zheng Tianlong had read countless descriptions of Beijing in textbooks, and of course he was very impressed to be in such a place at this time.

"In the future, Master Zheng is welcome to come to Beijing as a guest, and I will definitely do my best to be a landlord."

Xu Nian's invitation was sincere, she knew that a master-level figure like Zheng Tianlong would sooner or later ascend to the clouds and turn into a dragon, not to mention that Zheng Tianlong had helped her a lot this time.

"Well, I should come to Beijing often in the future."

Feng Shui master is a flying profession, Zheng Tianlong understands that he will definitely go everywhere in the future, everywhere to show people feng shui or look for magic weapons, and this place in Beijing will definitely be a place he often visits.

"When you come, be sure to call me."

"Okay."

After driving for a while, the car turned into a very quiet area, and Zheng Tianlong found that there were no high-rise buildings outside the window at this time, on the contrary, some ancient buildings began to appear, and there were gradually fewer pedestrians and vehicles.

After another half an hour, the car stopped.

"Master Zheng, here, this is where you rest, let's go in and have a look, if it's not suitable, we'll change places."

After getting out of the car, Zheng Tianlong was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this was a courtyard house. He really didn't expect Xu Nianzhen to arrange for himself to live in such a place.

This kind of building has four houses, the main house (north room), the inverted seat (south block), the east wing room and the west wing room, which are enclosed on all sides, and finally form a mouth shape, and there is a central courtyard inside, so it is called a courtyard house.

There is a slight difference between the courtyard houses in Beijing and those in other places.

First of all, the shape is basically square, and the courtyard of the courtyard in the area of Shanxi is a longitudinal rectangle that is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, and the courtyard in the middle of Shu is mostly a horizontal rectangle with east and west and north and south narrow.

Second, the east, west, south and north of the courtyard in Beijing are each read, the wing room is not connected with the main house and the inverted seat, and they are all one floor, and finally connected by a verandah, which looks like a building composed of four boxes from the air.

The courtyard in front of you knows that it is an old courtyard at a glance, and now this thing is quite rare in Beijing, and it is not something that ordinary people can have, especially the old courtyard.

As far as Zheng Tianlong knows, in a certain period of time, for one reason or another, many courtyard houses were demolished, and not many remained. In addition, the location of such quadrangles is mostly in the center of the city, not to mention anything else, the price of this land alone is already incredible, so each one can be sold at a sky-high price, and it is priceless and marketable, so having a quadrangle has become a symbol of wealth and power.

But Xu Nianzhen used such a place to entertain guests, which shows that she is definitely a character in Beijing.

Would you be dissatisfied with such a place?

"Let's go inside."

Xu Nianzhen first stretched out his hand and signaled, and then stepped forward and led Zheng Tianlong to walk inside.

After entering, Zheng Tianlong found that it was a duplex large courtyard house, which is commonly known as the "mansion gate" door, which is even more rare.

The general small courtyard house is a private residence, and only high-ranking officials and nobles can and have the financial resources to build a large courtyard house, which is generally a mansion and an official house, so Xu Nianzhen's courtyard house definitely has a background.

"How's it going, do you think it's okay?"

"Miss Xu, you are too polite, I don't think anyone will be dissatisfied with such a place."

Zheng Tianlong understands that using such a place to entertain himself shows that Xu Nianzhen respects himself very much.

Seeing Zheng Tianlong's satisfaction from the bottom of his heart, Xu Nianzhen was also quite happy, and said: "Master Zheng, it's still a little early, and I'm a little tired after taking the plane, why don't you take a break, and I'll pick you up later to eat?" ”

"Good!"

After Xu Nianzhen left, Zheng Tianlong did not go to rest, but walked slowly in the courtyard, the courtyard is a cultural inheritance, but also a manifestation of feng shui, since he came, of course he had to study it carefully.
