Chapter Eighty-Three: The Courtyard (I)
Early the next morning, Guo Yi received a call from his father, saying that Wang Yuanguang had arrived in the capital and asked Guo Yi to go over and take the rhubarb away.
Wang Yuanguang entered Beijing by train, he doesn't like to fly, of course, a large part of the older generation has a phobia of airplanes, and Wang Yuanguang, a master of chemical strength, is no exception.
Guo Yi shouted Chen Jun, who was sleeping with Sister Bing in his arms in the suite next door, took the car key from him and went downstairs, Chen Jun has no shortage of cars, except for the Audi that was still in Ziyu Villa last night, there are three cars of different brands in the clubhouse, and I don't know how many other places there are.
After receiving the villa last night, Guo Yi, Liu Jun and Chen Jun came to Chen Jun's Beijing suburb club to drink, Liu Jun finally hugged a sexy star to his private room, if it weren't for the arrival of Sister Bing, Chen Jun might have hugged the star who was sitting next to him and went upstairs.
The star who sat next to Guo Yi to accompany the wine, when he saw Guo Yi's handsome appearance, his heart was itchy and uncomfortable, and he frequently flattered him, but in the end they all went up, and Guo Yi didn't call her, which made him disappointed, and scolded Guo Yi as a "eunuch" in his heart.
After Guo Yi went downstairs, he found the security guard on duty at the door, and asked him to take him to the garage that belonged to the third child of the Song family and Chen Jun alone, picked up the remote control and pressed it, the sound of "Didi" sounded, Guo Yi looked in the direction, a gray Bentley was parked at the edge of the garage, and the rest of the place was either a cool Ferrari or a civilian coupe Lotus, which was not practical at all in Guo Yi's opinion, and did not fit his character, it seems that Chen Jun also understood Guo Yi's habits and did not give him the keys to other cars. Rather, it was given to the Bentley.
Guo Yi took out two pink old man's heads from his wallet and handed them to the security guard who led the way, and in the envious eyes of the security guard, he pulled the car door and sat on the driver. Plug in the key and start it, and slowly drive towards the outside of the clubhouse.
Guo Yi did not drive to the city, but went directly to Wang Yuquan Mountain, Wang Yuanguang hung up the phone to Song Lao before entering Beijing, and was picked up by the Song family as soon as he got off the train, Song Lao was his old chief, and there was no reason not to see him in Beijing. Of course, Wang Yuanguang's entry into Beijing has also attracted a lot of attention.
Wang Yuanguang is not a toothless tiger, where his teeth are still growing, the older generation knows how terrifying he is. Although now he does not have any position.
After the car drove into Yuquan Mountain, Guo Yi called his mother and asked him to find someone to come down and pick him up the mountain, although many people knew Guo Yi in Yuquan Mountain in the past two days. But rules are rules, and they are not easy to break. Unless Guo Yi's car has a pass on it.
At the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, after a while, my grandfather's chief guard drove to the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, handed his documents to the sentry, Guo Yi registered before letting him go up the mountain, of course, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and got into the car driven by the chief guard.
"Guo Yi, buy a car, and I'll ask someone to get you a pass. There will be no such trouble going up the mountain in the future. The chief guard said to Guo Yi after Guo Yi got into the car and started the car
"Thank you, Uncle Ming," Guo Yi said to the chief of the guard. The chief of the guard has been following Chen Mingsheng for more than 20 years, and after he returned to Beijing after being rehabilitated, Chen Mingsheng chose him by himself, and he was loyal to Chen Mingsheng, a few years younger than Guo Yi's father
"No thanks" Hearing Guo Yi call him uncle, a happy smile appeared on Zhang Ming's face, what Guo Yi has done in the past two days, he has been there the whole time, knowing that Guo Yi is different, Guo Yi calling him uncle proves that Guo Yi recognizes him, and she is still quite happy to be recognized by such a top person.
Zhang Ming drove Guo Yi to the gate of Song Lao's courtyard, Guo Yi got out of the car and said hello to him before leaving.
Seeing the upright guard Guo Yi standing at the door without a military uniform, looking at his empty hands, he couldn't help but smile, it was rude to come to the door for the first time without a gift.
However, Guo Yi didn't think much about it, when he reached his kind of realm, he didn't care about this, if others cared, let them care.
Guo Yi walked to the door and explained his intention to the guard who was standing at the door and watching him, and the guard directly made a gesture of invitation, Guo Yi knew that this was the person who was photographed by the Song family to pick him up, nodded, and walked into the courtyard under the leadership of the guard.
The small courtyard where Song Lao lives is not much different from Chen Mingsheng's, the only difference is the delicacy of the building and the strong Jiangnan style, it can be seen from here that Song Lao is not a Jiangnan person that is built to commemorate.
"Brother Guo, it's so hard for me to hide it, it's been a long time since we were a family."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Song Laosan said while greeting him, Guoyi knew that he was talking about his uncle's ancestor, and before Guo Yi could speak, he saw a yellow shadow pounce up, Guo Yi did not hesitate to stretch out his hands to catch the yellow shadow and hold it in his hand.
"Rhubarb! You are heavy" After holding the yellow shadow, Rhubarb's tongue added to Guo Yi's face, Guo Yi dodged and looked at Rhubarb and wanted to lick it again
"Wangwangwang" After hearing Guo Yi's words, Rhubarb screamed a few times dissatisfied.
"Third brother, don't blame."
Guo Yi gently stroked the rhubarb's hair, and in just a few days, he didn't see that the rhubarb had grown from a small point to about thirty centimeters at that time, and only then did he raise his head and look at Song Laosan who was standing on the side and looked at this person with a smile.
"Brother Guo, this is the outside, if I hadn't seen Grandpa Wang today, I wouldn't have known that we were a family, and you hid it so deeply." Song Laosan complained softly
"Hehe, the three of them laughed, didn't I know at the time? If I knew, I would have made it clear a long time ago," Guo Yi said with a smile, accepting the kindness expressed by Song Laosan.
"Come Brother Guo, let's go into the house, Grandpa and Grandpa Wang are still waiting for you?" Song Laosan saw that Guo Yi accepted his kindness, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Guo Yi went to the door of the main hall under the guidance of Song Laosan, and before he entered the main hall, he heard the hearty laughter of Song Lao and Wang Guangyuan, as if he was saying something interesting.
"Grandpa Song."
After "Uncle Shizu" and "Uncle Shi" entered the main hall, Song Laosan automatically stood aside and stopped talking, Guo Yi saw that the three people sitting in the living room all looked at him and shouted at them
"Okay, okay, since it's a family, I didn't know it before, but now I know it, in the future, you juniors will be more affectionate and affectionate" Song Lao stared at Guo Yi for a while and said with a smile
Guo Yi nodded and replied, not to mention Wang Guangyuan's relationship, even the relationship between the Chen family, Guo Yi will not hurt the Song family, so as not to cause a crack in the relationship between the two families.
"Brother Guo"
After Guo Yi accompanied the three of them to chat briefly, and then under the greeting of Song Laosan, he apologized to the three people who were chatting, and then walked out of the living room that was a little depressing for Song Laosan.
"Listen to Chen Xiaowu, my brother is looking for a courtyard?" After walking out of the living room, Song Laosan said directly without nonsense
"Fifth brother, please come to the third brother, he will really be lazy." Guo Yi said with a smile, which can be regarded as admitting.
"It just so happens that my sixth child is working at the Beijing Real Estate Bureau, and he told me yesterday to ask Xiaoliu to check the courtyards in the capital that have not been sold or backlogged." Song Laosan looked at Guo Yi and said with a smile on his face
After finishing speaking, Song Laosan took out a stack of Wen Jiàn from behind him and handed it to Guo Yi.
Looking at Wen Jiàn, Guo Yi was a little stunned, what he said yesterday has been done today, Guo Yi obviously needs to re-understand the strength of these Yanei.
The number of courtyard houses in Beijing is really not very much, and the number of demolition and relocation has greatly decreased in successive years. But there is still a lot left. A few years ago, the government divided the courtyard houses in Sijiu City into more than 40 historical and cultural reserves, all of which were preserved as cultural heritage.
Thirty of these sanctuaries are located in the inner city. That is, the place where the princes and generals lived in ancient times. Around the Forbidden City, the location is relatively good, and these quadrangle houses are protected by the policy, in the absence of extremely special circumstances. Generally, it will not be demolished.
In more than 40 hutong areas, the old mansions left behind are really not few, and there are sitting tigers like Chen Jun and Song Laosan, so it is not very difficult for Guo Yi to buy a set of courtyard houses.
After Guo Yi came up with the idea of buying a courtyard house again, he specially checked the courtyard houses in the capital, the kind of courtyard houses where the old Beijingers live in small doors and small households and enter a small courtyard She can't look down on, what he wants is a compound courtyard with several courtyards before and after, that is, where the rich and noble lived in the past.
The ordinary small courtyard house, including a main house facing north, plus the east and west wings to form such a courtyard, is relatively simple, and it is also the most common courtyard now, that is, the ordinary people in Beijing live.
In addition, there is a middle courtyard, which is separated by a courtyard wall. The curved moon gate connects the front and back courtyards. The main house and wing room of the middle courtyard house are naturally twice as many as the small courtyard house, in ancient times. It is generally inhabited by people with relatively well-to-do families.
What Guo Yi wants to buy now is the kind of large courtyard house, which in ancient times was generally the mansion of high-ranking officials and nobles, with many courtyards before and after, and was extremely particular about the architectural pattern, and it was generally a composite courtyard. That is, it is formed by a number of quadrangle courtyards connected in depth. There are many courtyards of large quadrangle, there are front yards, back yards, east courtyards, west courtyards, main courtyards, partial courtyards, cross courtyards, study courtyards, enclosed courtyards, horse numbers, one entry, two entrances, three entrances, etc., there are hand verandahs in the courtyard to connect everywhere, covering a huge area.
It is like the place where Bai Laoqi lives in the TV series "Mansion Gate". A wealthy mansion with rockery and garden. (To be continued......)
