"Sister Xi, I want to ask something." Guan Lang suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask Qin Yanxi.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Qin Yanxi had also calmed down and sat on the swivel chair in front of the desk and turned towards Guan Lang.
"Yesterday, I went to Jingyang Village, the renovation project that Dean Qin was responsible for last year."
"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing." When it came to business, Qin Yanxi sat up straighter.
"Well, I saw a large courtyard in the northwest corner of the village. It was well preserved and no one seemed to live in it. I just wanted to ask you to find out if the owner would consider renting it out." Guan Lang explained his request in detail.
"Uh." Qin Yanxi's head paused, and a special look appeared on her face: "In the courtyard in the northwest corner, is there a plaque that says "Qingyu Residence"?"
Guan Lang recalled it and nodded. He vaguely remembered that these words seemed to be written on the door.
"If what I'm thinking of is what you're talking about, it should be the yard that was bought by my family." Qin Yanxi looked a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"When we were renovating an old house, a family happened to immigrate abroad. My dad saw that the yard was a hundred or two hundred years old and felt that it would not be good to demolish it, so he simply spent some money to buy it."
"Do you want to live there? It just so happened that my dad made some repairs at that time and connected water and electricity. There should be no problem if we live there." Qin Yanxi held her chin and thought.
Dean Qin bought it four years ago when the project bidding was finalized. He didn't think much about it at the time, but someone just happened to be selling it and the price was not too high, so he bought it.
In recent years, as Jingyang Village's reputation has become more and more prosperous, and it has a tendency to become an Internet celebrity village, the value of the yard should have increased a lot.
It's an unintentional act.
When he heard that the courtyard belonged to Qin Yanxi's family, Guan Lang was a little confused as to what to say.
He was quite satisfied with the condition of the yard itself, but he had the idea of lowering the price, otherwise he might not be able to afford the rent.
How can I have the nerve to lower the price now, when I can't afford to rent it at the market price.
"I should still live upstairs. I just plan to rent a yard and do other things there. How much is the monthly rent?" Guan Lang asked weakly.
"Why are you giving me the money? I'm looking for the key. It should be in my drawer." Qin Yanxi waved her hand grandly, turned over and opened the drawer to rummage around.
"The rent should still be paid. After all, it is Dean Qin's property." Guan Lang felt a little frightened when he thought of the serious and old-fashioned Dean Qin.
If it was just Qin Yanxi, it wouldn't matter much. With his "good buddies" relationship with Qin Yanxi, he wouldn't be so polite.
"It doesn't matter, the old man probably doesn't even remember such a thing, and the name on the two certificates is my name. I found it, it should be this one." Qin Yanxi handed the keychain to Guan Lang.
Of course she hoped that Guan Lang would live there, so she was the landlord after all, so it would be normal for her to go for a walk frequently, even though she had not set foot there for a year or two before that.
It’s great to have money!
Guan Lang took the key blankly.
It seemed that Guan Lang still had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, so Qin Yanxi continued: "Don't feel like you are taking advantage of me. After all, no one lives here. If you go around from time to time, you will also help me clean."
Guan Lang finally received the key, and after negotiation between the two, Qin Yanxi accepted a symbolic rent of one thousand yuan per month, and Guan Lang paid for the water and electricity bills himself.
There was a projector in Qin Yanxi's room. The two of them watched a movie, and the rain stopped not long ago.
"Guan Lang, come and play at home next time." Qin Junning stood in the yard and waved.
"Okay, Aunt Qin, I'll come and play when I have time." Guan Lang responded quickly, but everyone knew that he was always very busy, so this was destined to be just a polite word.
I still took a golf cart when I went out. The villa area is quite big and it takes quite a while to walk to the gate.
The golf cart beeped and drove Guan Lang to the gate and put him down.
Under the envious eyes of the security guard, Guan Lang slowly walked towards the subway station again.
The drizzle has just stopped, the air has been washed a little clearer by the rain, and there are a few small puddles on the ground, reflecting the blue sky.
Guan Lang crossed the puddle and felt relieved. The yard matter that he had been considering for two days was solved smoothly.
I took the subway and got off at the stop before home.
At the supermarket on the street, Guan Lang bought two brooms, mops and other cleaning tools, then slowly turned into the alley and walked to the Qin family courtyard.
Under the plaque with the words "Qingyu Residence", the thick wooden door was cold and cold. It turned out that the dusty layer on it had been washed away by the drizzle.
Guan Lang put on a mask and put on gloves.
The yard has not been taken care of for many years. Today's cleaning work is not easy.
Use the key to open the big iron lock on the wooden door.
He had already seen the layout of the interior when it was hung on the exterior wall last time. It was the smallest one upon entering the courtyard, but this was small for a family, and to him, it was already a large space.
Siheyuan, also known as Siheyuan, is a traditional courtyard-style building in China. It has a history of at least more than 3,000 years. There are many types across China, of which Beijing Siheyuan is a typical example.
Generally speaking, a complete courtyard house has three courtyards. The first entrance is the gatehouse, the second entrance is the hall, and the third or rear entrance is the private room or boudoir, which is an activity space for women or their dependents. In terms of layout,
It is in the shape of "eye".
As for the first entrance, it is in the shape of "口", and the second entrance is in the shape of "日".
However, the depth of the courtyard does not stop at the third courtyard, it can reach up to the fifth courtyard. The courtyard of the Jia family in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is the fifth courtyard.
The gate is located in the southeast corner. When Guan Lang pushed the door open, he was greeted by a screen wall that looked very ancient. It was used to block the sight of pedestrians on the street outside the gate looking inward, and it was used to protect people.
Go around the screen wall and walk into the yard. In the corner of the yard is a dry pond. Filtration equipment has been installed among the rocks, water and trees.
Two podocarpus trees, common in Jiangnan gardens, stand like a canopy, and the courtyard is covered with weeds and fallen leaves accumulated over the years.
The courtyard was not as airtight as Guan Lang had imagined. The wind was blowing from nowhere, and standing in the courtyard felt unexpectedly cool.
Guan Lang nodded with great satisfaction. The open space in the center of the courtyard had enough space for him to practice martial arts, and it was also relatively private.
He doesn’t even need to make many changes, he just needs to clean it up and it can be lived in. Friends who read books, you can search for "" and you can find this website as soon as possible.
