Chapter 524: Old Man Wang won't commit suicide
The other party's appearance is not like a social person, there are all kinds of dresses and faces, and it doesn't look like he wants to make trouble, because he doesn't have anything in his hand.
Chen Wen understood, the other party's intention was just to block the door and prevent Old Man Wang from running away.
The two walked through the gate of "Fuwangfu", walked forward more than ten meters, and turned left into the narrow alley.
After continuing to walk more than ten meters, the two stopped in front of a smaller courtyard gate.
The courtyard gate is made of wood, and the two doors are double-opened, painted red. In front of the door is a two-step stone staircase with a stone threshold running across the steps. The door is inlaid with two brass knockers, and the lock is a large, antique-shaped pin lock.
This is the small courtyard house that Chen Wen bought from Mr. Qin.
Take the key to unlock it and push open the wooden door.
Mr. Qin has moved away, and it is estimated that he should go to the United States to join his children.
Chen Wen and Tang Jin visited around, and their moods were very different.
The last time I came here, Chen Wen was a seeker/buyer, and many things were just a rough look, so it was inconvenient to take a closer look.
This time it's different, the yard is already Chen Wen's own, he is the owner here, so naturally he can go around casually, his own home!
After entering the courtyard, there is no gatehouse on the left and right, and it is purely a south wall. There is a row of houses in each of the three directions in the courtyard, which are the north room and the east and west wings. There are 3 rooms in each row, making a total of 9 rooms.
The layout of the house is very similar to the courtyard of the sister's house. Mr. Qin's master room is located in the north room, the west wing is the guest room, and the east wing is the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and storage room.
All the furniture and furnishings were cleaned up by Mr. Qin. All 9 rooms are completely empty.
It is commendable that all the rooms are cleaned!
Some of the walls and floors have signs of different colors and conditions from the surrounding area, which is obviously the result of a certain piece of furniture that has been fixed for many years, and has nothing to do with hygiene.
Although the house is very old, as long as it is repainted and decorated, it is completely possible to move in as soon as possible, and buy a little more furniture.
Judging from the living experience alone, this courtyard house is far more like the warm courtyard of the aunt's house in Nanluoguxiang.
Chen Wen really wanted to give Tang Jin a better courtyard to live in, but he knew his own affairs, if he could buy the big courtyard of the old man Wang next door, then in the future, he would definitely tear down the wall and merge the two courtyards into a large courtyard. This small courtyard was originally the front yard of King Fu's mansion, and the courtyard of Old Man Wang was the main courtyard and the side courtyard.
If he can become the new owner of the "Fu Wangfu", then Chen Wen will set this place as his base camp in the imperial capital.
With his relationship with Su Qianqian, he is going to get married! So in the future, Su Qianqian will live here with Chen Wen, and it will be inconvenient for Tang Jin to live here!
Chen Wen sighed lightly, he didn't want to think so much for the time being, and found a way to climb over the wall to see Old Man Wang.
The wings on both sides are not connected to the north room. On both sides of the north room, there is a 3-meter by 3-meter open space, sandwiched between the north room and the wings on both sides.
Behind the north house is a wall that extends on either side of the north house, right across the two small open spaces.
Chen Wen sketched that in the future, if the wall on the north side of one of the vacant lots is demolished, you will be able to enter the main courtyard of the "Fuwang Mansion", and a beautiful arch can be built in the dismantled place.
The height of the wall is about two and a half meters, which is difficult for Chen Wen.
Take a few steps back and add a run-up.
Chen Wen rushed to the wall, stuck to the wall with the help of inertia, stepped on the wall with both feet, and the forward rush of his body turned into the momentum of climbing, and his hands smoothly grabbed the wall.
With a force, he did a pull-up, and Chen Wen's head poked into the wall. Twisting again, he lifted his right foot up against the wall.
The whole body cooperated with force, and the whole person climbed over the wall!
"Handsome!" Tang Jin stood in his yard and cheered for Chen Wen.
"Sister Tang, you are guarding here, if you need it, I will call you for help!" Chen Wen advised.
"No problem! You can go!" Tang Jin said with a smile.
Riding on the wall, Chen Wen looked at the big courtyard next door and didn't see the figure of Old Man Wang.
"Old man Wang, are you at home?" Chen Wen shouted.
After waiting for a while, there was no response, and Chen Wen shouted twice.
Still no response.
Chen Wen felt a little strange, even if this old man Wang hid outside as a creditor, why did he even pretend to be deaf and dumb when he was greeted by the neighbors?
Well, go into his yard and see!
Chen Wen didn't care about illegal entry into the house.
Going over the wall to the neighbor's house, this matter can be big or small, and you are not afraid of trouble when you go to the police station. Anyway, he has connections in the imperial capital now!
With a hey, Chen Wen jumped from the two-meter-and-a-half-meter-high wall and landed in the courtyard of Old Man Wang's house.
Last time, I came to visit at night, and I couldn't see a lot of things, but this time Chen Wen came during the day, and the more I watched, the more I liked it.
Chen Wen thought that the courtyard of Old Man Wang's house was two courtyards, and the gate opened from the side courtyard on the west side, and after entering the door, he passed through the side courtyard and entered the main courtyard.
This time, Chen Wen understood that Old Man Wang's courtyard was actually three courtyards!
In addition to the side courtyard and the main courtyard, there is also a backyard on the north side.
Chen Wen, who jumped off the wall, landed in the main courtyard, and he walked up the cobblestone trail with his feet, bypassing the rockery, and came to the north room where he had been last time.
The door of the north room was closed, and Chen Wen stood outside the door, shouting "Old man Wang" a few more times, but no one answered.
Chen Wen tried to push the door, but he actually pushed it open, but the door was not locked from the inside.
The three large rooms in the north room were searched by Chen Wen, but he didn't find Old Man Wang. He exited the north room and looked around the east and west wings, but did not find Old Man Wang.
Leaving the north room, Chen Wen went to the side courtyard again, looked at the gatehouse and wings, but still didn't find Old Man Wang.
Chen Wen was very puzzled, and returned to the main courtyard again, thinking, this old man Wang should be blocked at home by the creditors and couldn't get out, where can he hide?
After walking around the main courtyard, Chen Wen found that there was a path on the side of the north room, and when he walked in, he was pleasantly surprised!
Walk through a small arch and enter another courtyard!
Backyard!
A delicate small courtyard house with an area similar to Chen Wen's own front yard, the area and pattern are very similar!
Only then did Chen Wen understand that the whole of "Fuwangfu" should be such a scale.
Historically, this mansion had 4 courtyards, the gate was open on the south side, and the entrance was the front yard, which was the courtyard that Chen Wen had bought.
Passing through the front yard, heading north is the main courtyard, which is the core part of the "Fuwang Mansion".
The east wall of the main courtyard is next to the Guozijian, the west is the side courtyard, and the north is the backyard.
After historical changes, the 4 courtyards have been shared by dozens of households.
Old man Wang spent half his life and bought the main courtyard, the side courtyard and the backyard, but because he was on the verge of bankruptcy, he could no longer buy the front yard, and he missed the dream.
Due to the huge debts, it is difficult to keep most of the "Fu Wangfu" that Old Man Wang has saved, and he cannot escape the fate of being liquidated and auctioned by the court to pay off the debts.
While deciphering and restoring the history of the house, Chen Wen quickened his pace and entered the backyard from the small arch, which was the last possible hiding place for Old Man Wang.
The south side of the backyard is next to the back wall of the north house of the main courtyard, and there are no houses built, and there are 9 rooms in the east, west and north directions.
Chen Wen went straight to the north room in the backyard, didn't bother to knock on the door, and pushed the door directly.
It didn't open it, and the door was locked from the inside.
Someone locks the door, which means that there is someone in the room!
Chen Wen shouted, "Old man Wang, are you inside?"
After waiting for a while, no one answered.
Chen Wen shouted twice, but still didn't respond.
The door is carved in wood, and the hollow part is pasted with clear glass.
Chen Wen looked inside from the glass, and the bedroom on the left side of the main hall had an open door, although the room was dim, it was not very real. But it would be morning, and the sun would be shining.
Through the light of the sun, Chen Wen could vaguely see that there seemed to be a person lying on the wooden bed in the bedroom.
Chen Wen slammed the door hard, but the man on the bed didn't move at all.
Chen Wenxin said that it was bad, Old Man Wang wouldn't have committed suicide, right?
With more than 4 million debts, and in 1992, it was entirely possible to commit suicide!
Think about the stock market crash in 1992 in the previous life, those shareholders who jumped off the building can understand Chen Wen's worries!
Chen Wen shouted: "Old man Wang, don't die!"
Seeing that there was no response, he hurriedly found a brick from the yard and smashed it into the glass of the door.
