Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth: the courtyard of Shichahai
Lan Sheng and Zheng Jun really enjoyed the fun of waiting for someone this time. Not to mention anything else, Lan Fei alone wouldn't go out without an hour. Well, these two people waited in the car for a long time. If it were normal, these two people would definitely be furious, especially Lan Sheng, a straight man. But now...
The other party is Lan Fei. What dares Lan Sheng and Zheng Jun? Wait for it. Half an hour passed. The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. An hour passed. Lan Sheng looked at the watch every 2 minutes. Well, I won’t say anything anymore, just bear it.
"I said, Junzi, are women so troublesome?" Lan Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"How do I know? Anyway, I always ask women to wait for me." Zheng Jun said with a stinky face.
"Come on, don't blow it anymore, okay? There are no outsiders here." Lan Sheng obviously didn't believe Zheng Jun's words. This kid knew how to show off and asked others to wait every time. According to Lan Sheng's understanding of him, this kid's urinary nature, if he was a beauty, no matter how long he waited, this guy would be willing. When he was in school, in order to wait for the school beauty, he dragged himself in the cold wind at the school gate for 2 hours. In the end, he had already gone home, which made him catch a cold the next day.
"Ha, Shengzi, it's not my brother who is bragging to you. Now I have set a time. No woman dares to be late. Otherwise, I will definitely throw her a big mouth and let her remember it well."
Just as Zheng Jun was blowing the snail, the rear door was opened: "Oh, Mr. Zheng, who are you going to slap?" Lan Fei's tone was not good, little bastard, this is so bold, right? Do you dare to say bad things about your sister behind her?
"Sister Lan, you are here. Look at what you said. Didn't I say I'm going to give myself two mouths?" As he said that, Zheng Jun really shook his face twice, with a flattering smile on his face. The speed of changing face was amazing.
Lan Sheng shook his head and knew that the dog could not change his shit. This guy still had no change in urine. Haha, he knew that he was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Zheng Jun glared at Lan Sheng fiercely, "You boy, you're unfaithful. Sister Lan is here, and I don't know that she can only say a brother. This is a joke that she is sincere in her own eyes. Lan Sheng shrugged, brother, you're thinking too much."
Lu Ning also got into the car at this time and looked at Lan Sheng's dark circles. Well, it's a solid idea. This guy just didn't sleep all night.
"Brother-in-law, where will we go to see the house first?" Zheng Jun asked hurriedly. His expression of a terrifying expression made the Lan family contempt.
"Let's go to the Shicha Haiyaoer Hutong first." If you want to see it, just look at the biggest one, Lu Ning ordered.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll ask the landlord to wait at the door now." Zheng Jun immediately took out the phone and called the other party. Not to mention, Zheng Jun was still in good condition. He contacted the other party yesterday and asked him to wait for him these days.
Lan Sheng started the Mercedes-Benz g63 6x6 and drove towards the Shicha Haiyaer Alley on the 2nd ring.
Shichahai belongs to the imperial capital historical and cultural tourism sub-scenic area, the imperial capital historical and cultural protection area. It is located in Xicheng District, the central urban area of the city. It is adjacent to the central axis of the imperial capital. It has a water area of 336,000 square meters and is connected to the waters of Zhongnanhai. It is the only open scenic spot with open water in the inner city of the imperial capital. It is also the largest and most complete historical district in the imperial capital city with the most complete style. The courtyard we are going to see today is uniquely located and belongs to a pure land that is quiet in the midst of chaos.
Speaking of the history of Shichahai, it will last until the 13th century. Emperor Shizu of Yuan decided to build a new capital. Shichahai was one of the most basic basis for the planning and design of Yuandu. The central axis of the whole city from north to south was selected close to Jishuitan. Later, in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Shichahai was also the core of the water system of urban planning, and later it gradually formed the West Sea, Houhai and Qianhai.
Shichahai has a profound historical and cultural heritage. In history, there were more than 30 royal palaces, temples and temples in this area. There are still 10 still existing in Shichahai’s 34 hectares of water, which is naturally integrated into the city blocks. Relying on the water body, as well as weeping willows on the lakeshore, lotus flowers in the water, etc., it has also become the most distinctive natural landscape of Shichahai.
The "Yinding Guanshan", known as one of the "Eight Small Scenerys in Yanjing", is also in Shichahai. The most famous Prince Gong Mansion is also located in the northwest corner of Shichahai. There is also the Qing Mansion in Qianhai, as well as the famous bell and drum tower, Guanyue Temple, Guanghua Temple, Yinding Bridge, Huitong Temple, Stick Bezi Fengtao Beile Mansion, Prince Chun Mansion in Houhai, etc., which were regarded as places where high-ranking officials and nobles gathered at that time.
In modern times, Mei Lanfang’s former residence, Guo Moruo’s former residence, and Song Qingling’s former residence are also here. It can be said that the thousand-year-old historical charm and unique hutong culture of Shichahai are also worth seeing.
Of course, such a unique environment will have a slight inconvenience in terms of transportation. At least, on the way to this courtyard, Mercedes-Benz g63 6x6 is always walking and stopping. There is nothing we can do about it. This is considered a tourist attraction in the imperial capital. There are many people and cars, which is inevitable.
"Brother-in-law, I have heard that the road here will be widened soon, so don't worry, the transportation in the future will definitely improve a lot." Zheng Jun explained with a smile. For the second generation, there are still a lot of news about urban reconstruction, and the credibility is also very high.
Lu Ning nodded, but there was not much. Looking at the surrounding environment, this popularity is really great.
Lan Sheng’s Mercedes-Benz g63 6x6 barely stopped at the entrance of the Siheyuan. Since it has not been renovated, it still maintains its original appearance. The car should not want to go in.
The owner of the Sihe Courtyard is surnamed Cao. As Zheng Jun introduced, his ancestors did have a high-ranking official. It is impossible to verify how big it is. However, being able to own such a huge Sihe Courtyard in Shichahai and living with so many high-ranking officials and nobles has already shown the glory of this ancestor.
As for this person, due to the failure of investment, he almost lost all his family's fortune. Now, this person owed a lot of money outside and came to his house every day to collect debts. There was no way, so he thought of selling this ancestral home, which was also his last hope to make a comeback.
This is also the house left by his ancestors for emergency relief for his descendants. When Mr. Cao saw Zheng Jun, he immediately greeted him with a smile. It is true that if this courtyard house is sold successfully, then he can at least pay off his debts and make a comeback with his extra money. This is also Mr. Cao's only hope.
However, Mr. Cao was also a little sad. After all, this was the only thought left by his ancestors. Now, he had to bear the reputation of being a "prodigal son".
