This is the Nine Dragon Screen Wall that was only found in ancient royal buildings. It can be said to be one of the highest standards. There is a similar Nine Dragon Screen Wall in the Forbidden City.
It's okay to say that in modern times, but in ancient times, no one except the emperor could use such high-standard things.
Once discovered by the royal family, it would be a crime of treason and could even kill the Nine Clans.
Moreover, this courtyard has four entrances and four exits. The entrance courtyard is actually a miniature version of the Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens, with rockeries, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.
There were only a few loyal servants of the Gu family in the courtyard, so Gu Qiuyi had no scruples. She took off her mask, took Ye Chen's arm, and said to him: "Brother Ye Chen, do you still remember this courtyard? When we were young,
I often play hide and seek here."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I remember, but I always feel that it doesn't match up with my memory."
Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "This has been renovated. There are some changes compared to before."
As she said that, she pointed to the frozen water and said: "There have always been many good koi here. Some have been raised by the Gu family for more than 30 years, and some of them are the ones you have seen before! But now it's raining
It's cold, the koi have been moved to the side room to be raised, and they will be released when spring comes. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Ye Chen said in surprise: "How long does a koi fish live?"
Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "The lifespan of koi is about sixty or seventy years. If it is raised well and taken care of well, it can live for a few more years."
As she spoke, Gu Qiuyi clapped her fingers seriously and said, "Look, there are several kinds of pets. If you raise them well, they may live longer than you. Another kind is koi, and there are turtles and...
Parrots, macaws and sunflower parrots can live to be sixty or seventy years old."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Ye Chen and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see them. See if you can recognize them!"
Afterwards, Gu Qiuyi took Ye Chen to a wing next to the yard.
This wing room is very large, and more than half of the area is used as a constant-temperature fish pond, with a lot of huge koi carps swimming around in it.
Gu Qiuyi pointed to one of the koi fish, which was about one meter long, and said excitedly: "Do you still remember it? You used to name it Nobita, the same Nobita in Doraemon."
Ye Chen smiled and nodded: "I remember, in my childhood, it seemed to be the biggest one."
Gu Qiuyi nodded and said: "It is a Taisho three-color koi. My dad said that the price he bought it for was worth a three-bedroom apartment in the third ring road of Yanjing."
Ye Chen was slightly startled. Although he was a little surprised, he was not too shocked.
Koi carp is actually very expensive. Some time ago, the eldest lady of the Zhong family spent more than 10 million to take a photo of a koi carp. Ye Chen had also seen the news.
Therefore, the value of precious koi cannot be measured in the same way as ordinary ornamental fish.
At this time, Gu Qiuyi bent over and squatted by the fish pond, waved to the huge koi carp, and called Daxiong. Unexpectedly, the koi carp swam directly over. Gu Qiuyi reached out to touch it, but it did not hide at all.
.
Gu Qiuyi touched the koi and said, "Nobita, look, brother Ye Chen came to see you. Do you still remember him? He still remembers you."
Although Koi is not afraid of people and may have some familiarity with Gu Qiuyi, it is not human and cannot give Gu Qiuyi any response.
Gu Qiuyi was also talking to herself, then raised her head and said to Ye Chen: "My dad said that Nobita is only thirty years old this year. If he is taken care of well, he can live for another forty years. We played with him when we were young.
Son, when we have a child, the child can also play with it!"
