The changes in the appearance of the entire courtyard are actually not very big. In addition to the relatively large transformation of the courtyard landscape, traces of past history can still be seen on the exterior of other houses!
For example, the zigzag corridor that used to surround the inner courtyard has also been preserved, and this zigzag corridor has been demolished in many courtyards and transformed into houses. After all, land in the capital is precious, and one more room can accommodate people.
A house means a lot more money...
Of course Yang Han doesn't want to change like this. He is not short of money, and he doesn't want to change his courtyard house into ugly bungalows. The original simplicity and elegance of the house have not been lost. But in order to cater to their modern living habits, the houses
The interior transformation is still very big!
In addition to adding a steel structure inside and replacing the original decayed wooden beams, the layout of the rooms, as well as the lighting, ventilation, water supply and drainage design have been re-considered and designed.
"It's much brighter than before! Are there more windows?" Yang Ruoyi followed her parents into the main room. The living room in the middle, which was used for entertaining guests, gave her a completely different feeling than before.
“There aren’t too many windows. We just changed the big mahogany doors into the current electroplated glass sliding doors. These doors are usually left open, or electricity is turned on to make them transparent, so that outside light can be introduced into the room.
And Yiyi, have you noticed that we don’t have those many bookshelves now, and the visual transparency is much better than before." Yang Han said with a smile.
"It's great to keep it on the bookshelf. In the past, Grandpa Kang's scholarly family gave people the impression of being very cultured!" Yang Ruoyi felt a little regretful.
In fact, this is not the first time she has said this. The last time she came, she also felt that it was a pity that Mr. Kang wanted to donate all those books.
Yang Han remembered what his daughter said. He smiled slightly and said, "The study is still reserved for you. Come and see here."
The courtyard they bought is of high quality and covers a very large area. The main room alone can be divided into three large rooms. The living room in the middle, the master bedroom where Yang Han and Su Xuexuan live in the east, and the same bright and clean windows in the west.
The big study room!
Of course, there is a mystery in Yang Han's study room. In addition to Yang Ruoyi's favorite large bookcase that takes up the entire wall, there is also a complete set of high-end audio-visual equipment!
"Wow! You can actually watch movies! This study is so cool!" Sure enough, Yang Ruoyi, not a real nerd, couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration when she saw the large projection screen that could be raised and lowered electrically.
"Watching movies is the next best thing. The most important thing is that our sound system is very effective! If you want to listen to music, you can lie down and listen to it all day long!" Yang Han demonstrated with a smile.
He casually played a song from his daughter's new album, and the top-notch audio equipment hidden around the house came out with rich and pure music, wonderful sound effects, and surround effects that even made you feel as if you were in a high-end concert hall!
"Comfortable!" Yang Ruoyi sat on the first-class seat with a massage effect, lay down, closed her eyes and listened to the music, sighing with pleasure.
"Will it disturb the people? It's so loud." Su Xuexuan asked worriedly.
"No, this study and the recording studio next to it are all very well soundproofed. You can listen to music or watch movies in it, but you can't hear anything while standing in the yard." Yang Han laughed.
road.
The west ear room next door was converted into a "home" recording studio by Yang Han.
When he was in Yangcheng, Yang Han had the idea of setting up a recording studio at home. Their family were all musicians and they didn't have a recording studio. If they wanted to record some accompaniment at the last minute, they would have to go back to the company for the demo, which was really inconvenient!
However, the house in Yangcheng was "too small" and it was difficult to fit a piano in it, let alone use a relatively large room as a recording studio.
Beijing can finally set up a recording studio at home. It just so happens that Yang Han has no plans to open another company in Beijing. He just asked people to set aside an office area on the first floor in Hengke Building (where the company of "Weitoutiao" is located) for
Dong Yixia is used as the company's Beijing office.
"A lot of the equipment in the recording studio is abroad and we haven't had time to transport it back. There's not much to see now. Let's go visit our room first!" Yang Han led Su Xuexuan and Yang Ruoyi through the living room again and came to the east room.
The master bedroom on the east side is not particularly large, similar to the study room on the west side, except that its bathroom is set inside, which is equivalent to a suite.
"I thought your master bedroom would be the house on the right when we entered just now! Why did you choose this place? It feels a bit small." Yang Ruoyi asked doubtfully.
"It's not too small if you include the living room outside. Anyway, we don't stay in the room very often. We just watch TV in the living room when we have nothing to do, and come in when we go to bed at night, so it doesn't matter if it's a little smaller." Yang Han waved his hand and said with a smile.
, "And there is something hidden here, can you find it?"
In fact, this room is not too small. Compared with the master bedroom of Yang Han's building in Yangcheng, it is a bit larger and has a separate bathroom. It doesn't have to be like when the father and daughter often fought over each other in Yangcheng.
Go to the toilet.
However, as for hidden things, Yang Ruoyi and Su Xuexuan looked around and found nothing special. Yang Ruoyi also rummaged through the cabinets and searched, but found no mechanism.
"Watch carefully, don't blink!" Yang Han smiled, walked to the aisle between the wardrobe and the bedside table, and muttered a mantra like a magic trick, "Mah, la, la, sesame, sesame, open sesame!"
Then he pushed open the hidden door that looked like a background wall and walked in first.
"Hey, isn't it just that the door is hidden here? Why is it so mysterious!" Yang Ruoyi had long passed the age where she still believed in magic. She curled her lips and then walked in with her mother.
"Wow! The cloakroom! Why is it so big!" But after going in and seeing the scene inside, the girl couldn't help but marvel, and she couldn't hide her envy at all.
The inside is actually the east wing, but Yang Han built this wing into a super dressing room that is not much smaller than the master bedroom!
You know, the ear room on the other side has been transformed into a recording studio, while the ear room of the same size here has been made into a walk-in cloakroom. You can imagine how big this cloakroom is!
"This is too beautiful, too exaggerated!" Su Xuexuan couldn't keep calm. She walked happily inside, touching the empty wardrobes, and couldn't help but imagine herself buying clothes, bags, and shoes.
Stuff them all!
"There was no dressing table in the room just now, was there? In fact, the dressing table is here, and there is also a very beautiful jewelry cabinet here." Yang Han smiled and introduced it to his wife.
"I'm so envious, I really want to change rooms with you! This is every girl's dream!" Yang Ruoyi murmured to herself with emotion.
"Yiyi, don't be so anxious to envy us! There must be a dressing room in your room. From what I know about your father, he will definitely not leave you the best!" Su Xuexuan took her daughter's hand and smiled.
"Then hurry up and see my room, I can't wait!" The girl also hugged her mother's arm and laughed.
