    Chu Chen smiled and said: "Uncle, don't bother thinking anymore. Just like people in ancient times, they didn't know that the earth is round. Sooner or later, someone will be able to solve the mystery. Since we can't figure it out now, then  Just appreciate it." Zhao Qirui nodded when he heard the words: "Achen, you are right, we are not scientists, the most important thing is to pay attention to the things in front of us" Zhao Qirui mainly owns two properties in Beijing, one is in Xishan,  One set is in the inner city. Needless to say, the one in Xishan is a villa, while the one in the inner city is a large courtyard house with an area of ??more than 2,000 square meters.  To be honest, Chu Chen originally planned to buy a villa in Xishan because he wanted to get close to nature. However, although the environment there is superior, the price is too expensive and the transportation is not convenient. Although the Fifth Ring Road has  It was about to be completed and opened to traffic, but Chu Chen still felt that the road there was too far away. The most important thing was that Mr. Liu did not live there, one was in the east of the city and the other was in the west, which greatly affected their daily communication.  Although Zhao Qirui purchased the villa in Xishan, he still spends more time living in a courtyard in the inner city. Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, he also has a mentality of showing off. In these days, he can buy such a large place in the inner city.  A courtyard house is really not something ordinary people can do.  Although the environment in the inner city is indeed not as beautiful as the scenery in the scenic area, who can't let others buy it? Let alone the two thousand square meters of courtyard houses. There are not many in the first place, and the property rights of a large part of them are still with the government.  In your hands, if you don¡¯t have any extraordinary means, it¡¯s really not something you can buy with money.  ?Things are rare and valuable, and what is not available is the best. Nowadays, many optimistic and powerful people have some ideas.  They are all proud to have a courtyard house in the inner city.  Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhao Qirui often chooses to live here. When it comes to receiving friends, it can also add some light to his face, right?  After arriving home, Zhao Qirui was no longer in a hurry to appreciate the magical painting. Instead, he took Chu Chen around his courtyard.  This courtyard house owned by Zhao Qirui was originally a courtyard house with four entrances.  However, when he bought it, it was already in disrepair and could no longer be lived in. So after he bought it, he directly knocked down the courtyard and rebuilt it.  The style of the newly built courtyard house is still that of the old capital city. It also uses specialized ancient building materials, but because of its large area.  Moreover, Zhao Qirui initially considered that he did not have many family members, and even if all his relatives came, they would not be able to fill the dozens of houses at home, so he transformed this place into a five-in courtyard with a garden.  Although this courtyard house was demolished and rebuilt, it was also carefully designed by architectural experts from the famous University of Ancient Architecture, so every detail can be said to present the flavor of the courtyard house in the old capital.  The first thing that caught Chu Chen¡¯s eyes were the two tall and majestic vermilion doors.  There is a drum-holding stone placed on both sides of the door. The door leaf is located at the center pillar, dividing the door verandah into two.  Plaques are hung on the four door hairpins, there are sparrows on the front eaves and under the purlins, and there are upside-down lintels on the back eaves. In addition, there is half a room in front of the door, and all the beams are exposed.  It looks very majestic and distinctive.  Zhao Qirui saw Chu Chen's admiration and explained with a smile: "This style of gate is called Guangliang Gate. In ancient times, it was generally only used by official-level residences. The only gates higher than it were the palace gates. However,  That was too luxurious, so I didn¡¯t choose it at the beginning. " "Uncle, what is the use of the extra space outside the door? " " This is very simple, you think, but this kind of house must be in front of the door.  Guarded by servants, this extra half room is for these people. Four guards can be stationed on both sides. In addition to providing protection, it can also show the noble rank of the owner."  , Zhao Qirui once again introduced to Chu Chen the characteristics of Guangliang Gate based on his own gate.  After the introduction, Chu Chen not only gained knowledge, but also couldn't help but sigh. There are so many details on just a gate. It can be seen that it makes sense to hear people say that courtyards contain profound cultural connotations.  Pushing open the door, you will see a screen wall at the end.  Zhaobi, the ancients called it "Xiao Qiang".  In the old days, people believed that ghosts were constantly visiting their houses, because it was said that ghosts could only walk in straight lines and could not turn. Building a wall would cut off the ghosts' path.  There is also a theory that the screen wall is a unique architectural form in China influenced by Feng Shui consciousness, which is called "screen wall" or "screen wall".  After passing the screen wall and entering the first door, you will enter the first courtyard. The room here is called the reverse room. This kind of room is opposite to the main room in traditional Chinese architecture. It faces south and faces north, so it is also called the south room.  .  Therefore, this kind of house does not have good lighting, so it is usually used as a guest room or a house for servants to live in. However, nowadaysFor example, there is not so much emphasis on it.  Opposite the inverted room is an antique two-volume hanging flower door.  Chu Chen listened to Zhao Qirui's introduction. This kind of door is called a hanging pillar because the eaves pillars do not fall to the ground and hang under the eaves. There is a hanging bead under it, which is usually painted in the form of petals, so it is called a hanging flower door.  The hanging flower gate is generally the dividing line and the only passage between the inner courtyard and the front yard. After this, there is the inner courtyard, which is the second entrance.  There are three main halls in the second entrance, as well as several wing rooms and wing rooms. To the east of the second entrance, there are two hook-up halls that lead to the east garden.  The third entrance to the courtyard is the main courtyard. The courtyard is connected by a corner corridor. There are also main rooms and several side rooms. The difference is that there are no side rooms. The east corridor of the third entrance is connected to a horizontal corridor, which also leads to the garden.  The structure and layout of the houses in the fourth courtyard are the same as those in the second courtyard.  The last room entering the courtyard is all the back room, because it is at the end and relatively private. It is usually the place where daughters, maids and other female family members live.  Regular courtyard houses, especially such large ones, usually have many back rooms. However, Zhao Qirui considered that his family would not use so many rooms, so he made certain changes and added some ancient buildings that did not destroy the characteristics of the courtyard.  Being the last to enter adds some spice.  In addition, I have to mention the garden on the east side.  The garden here can be said to be a small garden. It is different from the style of Jiangnan gardens like the small bridges and flowing water in Chuchen. It is a garden built around the style of northern gardens. It seems to be quite large.  Magnificent and powerful.  However, some small elements of Jiangnan gardens have been added to the garden, and the whole garden is probably designed by experts. The addition of these elements is not obtrusive, but embellishes the whole garden.  The softness reflects the tenderness of a tough man, which can be said to be just right.  The entire courtyard is spacious and open, with plenty of sunlight and a broad view. Coupled with its unique cultural connotation and the unique style of the garden, living here will give people a sense of elegance, tranquility, and leisurely contentment.  This kind of living environment really made Chu Chen feel a little envious.  Seeing this, Zhao Qirui chuckled and said, "Achen, do you want to find a courtyard with this size for you?" Hearing what his uncle said, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Uncle  , I have already bought a new villa, why would I buy a courtyard house?¡± Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said with a smile: ¡°Who said you can¡¯t buy a courtyard house after buying a villa? If you are worried about not having enough money, Achen, I will help you first.  "Chu Chen thought about it and realized that his uncle was right. Even if he might not live in a courtyard house, it would be good to buy it as an investment when he first arrived. Now ordinary commercial housing has risen so much, let alone one.  Siheyuan as a cherished resource?  But Chu Chen is the kind of person who particularly hates borrowing money from others. Although Zhao Qirui has a good relationship with him and is his uncle, after all, they have only been in contact for more than a month. If it is just a small sum of money, it doesn't matter.  , but now that tens of millions of dollars are involved, Chu Chen will definitely not be able to open that mouth now.  "Uncle, we'd better wait until some time has passed before discussing this matter. I haven't thought about it yet." Zhao Qirui saw Chu Chen's hesitant expression and guessed Chu Chen's thoughts. He was so sophisticated that he didn't try to persuade him anymore, but he just felt sad in his heart.  After making up his mind, he asked Achao to buy the courtyard house later, but by the time Achen wanted to buy it, it had already been sold to someone else.  "Well, if you want to buy it then, just come to me" Next, Chu Chen followed Zhao Qirui to the living room and saw a dignified and gentle man who was about forty years old.  The woman is sitting on the sofa watching TV.  As soon as she saw Chu Chen and the others coming in, she immediately stood up from the sofa, walked to Chu Chen and the others, and asked with a smile: "Qi Rui, is this A Chen? I didn't expect that she has grown so big.  At that time, it only reached my waist." As she said this, she compared Chu Chen's height back then.  "Achen, this is your aunt Gao Yiya. When we were in love, we often went to the park to play together." "Hello, aunt!" Chu Chen first said hello, and then scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.  She said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have forgotten what happened back then." Gao Yiya chuckled and said: "What's wrong with that? Although you were a little silly and cute at the time, it's better to be smarter than you are now.  Okay, of course, you are smart, but don't be clever like your uncle. "" Clever?" This sentence made Chu Chen somewhat confused and didn't understand what his aunt meant.  "Okay, this isDon't mention it, let's get down to business first!  "Seeing this, Zhao Qirui quickly changed the topic with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
