"No way! I came to the capital to study, and you have to buy a courtyard for me to live in?" Yang Ruoyi must have not listened carefully, and she exclaimed in disbelief, her voice not suppressed for a while.
"I bought the courtyard not for you to live in, but for us to come and visit you and live there while visiting the capital." Yang Han heard this and turned around and said to his daughter with a smile.
"When you don't come up, don't I stay? What's the difference between living with me?" Yang Ruoyi was confused.
"You live on campus! You are already a college student, why do you still live at home? You have to go to the dormitory to experience the dormitory life with multiple people, and you have to learn to be self-reliant. You can't still think about living at home and relying on your father and mother!" Yang Han deliberately teased her.
Su Xuexuan could see this guy's bad heart, so she pulled his clothes funny and signaled him not to bully her daughter.
"It's not like I've never lived in a dormitory. When I was recording a program in Wusu Ancient Town, didn't I live in a dormitory?" Yang Ruoyi curled her lips.
However, just as the two men were bickering, the owner of the courtyard came back. Gao Yuankai saw him riding a tricycle and waved hello from a distance: "Professor Kang!"
The owner of the house, Kang Funian, is an old man in his sixties. There is nothing special about his appearance. You can't even feel the professor's learned temperament on his body. Look at the retro belt he wears on his head.
Wearing a cotton military cap with ear protection, wearing a gray down jacket, and riding a tricycle, he has the carefree and carefree attitude of the old capital!
Shouldn't such an old man be the common old man from Beijing who walks birds in the park and sells antiques in Liulichang? Why is he a professor?
Fortunately, Old Man Kang quickly vindicated himself!
"This door was called Guangliang Gate in ancient times!" After listening to Gao Yuankai's praise that the door in their house looked very impressive, Mr. Kang didn't even raise his head. He unlocked the door and said leisurely with a Beijing accent, "If
In the Qing Dynasty, if you wanted to live in a house with a wide and bright gate, you had to be at least a high-ranking official!"
"Then did your house have a very powerful official living in it?" Yang Ruoyi listened, and the names of Zhang Zhidong, Li Hongzhang and other famous people in the late Qing Dynasty came to mind, and she couldn't help but ask.
Old Man Kang turned his head, glanced at Yang Ruoyi with his glasses lowered, and smiled slightly: "That's not true. If it were a celebrity's former residence, it would have been protected long ago. How could it be my turn to live in it and you guys to buy it?"
Yang Ruoyi lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Although the Guangliang Gate can only be owned by officials of certain grades, you can't stand up to the number of officials in the capital, right?" Old Man Kang smiled slyly.
The Guangliang gate is indeed more imposing than the ordinary courtyard gates. It leaves almost half a room in front of the gate. It is more than enough for Mr. Kang's tricycle to park in front of his house!
Perhaps because he saw that Yang Ruoyi was not very young, Old Man Kang felt a little bit like he was teaching in the university before, so he couldn't help but want to say a few more words: "Look at the stone you're looking at, it's on both sides, you know what it means.
?”
For books, read zhuishukan.com Xixi. Yang Ruoyi lowered his head, but he didn’t pay attention just now. Only now did he realize that there were two large square stones on both sides of the door, with carvings on them! However, they have also been baptized by the years.
These carvings can’t be seen clearly!
Of course, if you test her on this, Yang Ruoyi will definitely not be able to answer it! She studies music, not history or ancient architecture!
"Professor Kang, I remember this is a drum stone, right? The drum stone from the civil servants' house is square like yours, just like a bookcase. The drum stone from the military officer's house is a round stone drum. And then there is that idiom
"Well-matched" means "well-matched", right?" Gao Yuankai answered helpfully with a smile.
"Look, you just heard it from hearsay, so you just come here and pretend to know!" Old Man Kang snorted, and then said slowly, "This is the Baogu Stone. Yes, it's a good match for everyone inside, including the Baogu Stone, but
But we can’t say that the Baogu stone is the right door! Why do we say that the door is right? For example, the door of the official family has the Baogu stone, the stone pillow, and the door pillar. These are different from the ordinary people who only have the door pillar, the stone pillow, or the poorer people who only have the stone pillow.
Can they be compared with each other?"
Gao Yuankai nodded repeatedly, and Yang Ruoyi also nodded, but she hesitated because she sounded a little confused with these words! There were too many new terms. It was the first time she came into contact with them, and she couldn't remember them...
"I just said that the Guangliang Gate used to be used by high-ranking officials, but the Guangliang Gate is still a lot worse than the Wangfu Gate that can really be opened on the central axis of the courtyard. Look at our courtyard gate, it is still open on our
Isn’t this the one who sits at the top of the house? Nowadays, people are not so particular about it, and the courtyard door is always opened in the middle, but it couldn’t be done before. If we didn’t have this level before, you shouldn’t think so beautifully!”
Old Man Kang really got into the mood. When he opened the door to let Yang Han and the others in, he kept introducing them to the historical features of this big house!
Yang Ruoyi didn't quite understand what the "Prince's Palace Gate" was and what the "Reverse Seat Room" was, but I have to say that when you listen to this Beijing opera speaking these historical common sense, you still find it particularly charming and want to hear it.
Go down!
…
It was not obvious from the outside, but after entering inside, the scale of this courtyard was slowly revealed to Yang Han and his friends.
This is a two-entry courtyard. Everything maintains the style and appearance of the original building. It is not even like other large courtyards that destroy the original building structure and add crazy buildings to fill the yard!
This courtyard is still very beautiful. The spacious inner courtyard also makes people feel the vast sky and warm and bright sunshine that wealthy families could enjoy in the past. However, in the past 20 years, after Professor Lao Kang passed away, the courtyard has not been repaired.
It's so frequent and not that professional, so it still looks a lot older.
The two-entry courtyard is very large. According to Old Man Kang, his courtyard covers an area of 1,000 square meters and has a construction area of more than 700 square meters!
Although the price hasn't been discussed yet, Yang Han has learned about the world. In this era, the price of courtyard houses in Beijing, based on the transaction prices in the past two years, is between 100,000 and 300,000 per square meter! The most expensive price tag
More than one billion yuan is a government residence with an area of more than 3,000 square meters! The cheapest one costs tens of millions, which is just a single courtyard with less than 100 square meters.
Considering that their location is very good, if Yang Han wants to buy a courtyard house, several hundred million will definitely be needed!
