Chapter 1982: Super Mansion Door

A few minutes later, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at their door.
However, this is no longer the old house where Ye Tian grew up, but a grand mansion with a five-door courtyard and a private garden, which is numbered throughout Beijing.
I have counted all the quadrangle courtyards in the capital, except for a few famous palace complexes, such as Prince Gong's Mansion, etc., there is no quadrangle courtyard comparable to this mansion gate.
This is the most famous and best-preserved mansion gate in Lishi Hutong, No.129 Lishi Hutong, which was once the residence of the prefect of Wuchang in the late Qing Dynasty, and later lived in many celebrities.
When he returned to Beijing for Chinese New Year during the Spring Festival last year, Ye Tian spent 1.24 billion yuan to set up the door of this large mansion of more than 1,200 square meters!
The neighboring courtyard with an area of ​​more than 600 square meters was also taken down by him and included in his bag.
Then, the two courtyards were opened up and connected together. The area of ​​the courtyard at No.129 Lishi Hutong also increased from more than 1,200 square meters to more than 1,800 square meters.
Soon after Ye Tian and the others left Beijing, the ancient construction team from the Forbidden City entered the courtyard and began to rebuild, repair, and modernize to create the most comfortable living environment.
The change of hands and reconstruction of this super-mansion door caused a sensation in Beijing, and it also made countless people envy to the extreme, among them there were many people who were so jealous that their eyes were red.
However, when those guys learned that this mansion gate belonged to Ye Tian, ​​they immediately dispelled all their wishful thinking, and they didn't even dare to even think about it!
After the door of this mansion was modernized and rebuilt and left vacant for half a year, Grandpa and the others moved into the door of this super mansion and began to live here and enjoy the family happiness.
At this time, Ye Tian was standing in front of this super mansion, admiring this magnificent mansion.
In front of him, there is a magnificent and bright gate, built on five-level double hanging marble treads. The upper part of the gate is carved with beams and paintings, which are antique in style. The vermilion door has four carved brass door hairpins, which are very eye-catching.
The eight-character walls on both sides of the courtyard gate and the courtyard walls along the street are all carved with exquisite brick carving patterns, which look pleasing to the eye.
And these brick carvings have their own meanings, such as Yutang wealth and peace in the four seasons.
The brick sculpture of No.129 courtyard in Lishi Hutong is also a unique and famous scenery in all courtyards in Beijing, and Ye Tian naturally cannot bear to destroy it.
In addition, there is a stone lion about 1.5 meters high on each side of the gate of the courtyard, with its feet on hydrangea, which looks vivid.
On the outside of the two stone lions, there is a large bonsai. Although it is winter, these two large bonsai are green and full of vitality, bringing a strong spring.
Although he has not yet entered the gate of this mansion, I don't know what the internal situation will be after the renovation, but the appearance of the gate of this super mansion has already made Ye Tian very satisfied.
It can be seen that the situation inside the gate of this mansion must be very good.
While standing at the door admiring the bright gate in front of him, Ye Tian also took advantage of the corner of his eye to scan the other two courtyards on the left and right.
During this time, he turned around, looked at the courtyard house opposite the hutong, and thoroughly looked through the courtyard house.
In addition, every surveillance probe and hidden pinhole cameras installed near the entrance of this super-mansion, he also looked through one by one, without letting go of any one.
After doing all this, he said to David and the others who followed:
"Guys, please come in. This is my home in Beijing. My family has already prepared dinner. You can taste it later."
Following his words, David and Jason, who had fallen into a sluggish state, just woke up.
Immediately afterwards, these guys started to sigh, their words and expressions were quite exaggerated.
"Wow! Steven, this is simply a palace. It's so beautiful and charming, just like the Forbidden City we visited in the morning!"
"I can't believe it. In just one year, this courtyard house has undergone earth-shaking changes. I don't even dare to recognize it."
In this exclamation, Ye Tian and the others had already stepped up the steps, and then walked into the door of this super house.
As soon as you enter the gate, you face a tall shadow wall.
The screen wall has exquisite patterns carved on it, which is slightly different from the brick carving style outside the door. It is a nine-fold spring color picture, giving people a feeling of vitality.
In front of and on both sides of this shadow wall, there is a simple and elegant solid wood flower stand with a few pots of bonsai on it, all of which are very beautiful!
Especially the two pots of plum blossoms placed on both sides of the shadow wall are blooming beautifully at this time. They are not afraid of the cold of winter at all, sending people a refreshing fragrance of flowers to decorate life.
When they came to the front of this shadow wall, Ye Tian and the others stopped and began to appreciate it.
After a while, a few of them turned and walked towards Chuhuamen, strolling forward while admiring this grand palace gate-like grand mansion.
Following Dongzi next to him, he assumed the responsibility of understanding and introducing the house to Ye Tian.
"Brother, from the shadow wall, it is the first to enter the yard. On the side of the alley is the south house, which is the inverted house. There are five rooms. The nanny and driver who take care of grandparents live here.
There is no main room and east and west side rooms in the courtyard. Opposite the inverted house is Chuhuamen. Entering from Chuhuamen is the second courtyard, which is the front yard. Our family lives in the front yard...."
While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to Chuihua Gate.
This is a one-hall-one-volume hanging flower gate, which is also built on five marble steps. Compared with the Guangliang gate outside, it is not so atmospheric, but more refined and gorgeous.
In front of this hanging flower gate, there is also a pair of stone beasts, but it is not a stone lion, but a pair of unicorns. They are relatively small, not fierce, but naive!
More importantly, this is a pair of unicorns from the early Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. They are also a pair of valuable antique cultural relics. They were placed in the mansion of a prince in the early years.
After the prince’s family was defeated, the pair of Shiqilins fell to the people, and to the United States more than a hundred years ago. They were discovered by Ye Tian in Philadelphia and then they were taken into the bag.
When the reconstruction of the gate of the mansion was completed and the decoration was made, he sent someone to transport the pair of stone unicorns back to China and placed them in front of the Chuhua Gate.
On the side walls on both sides of the Chuhua Door, that is, on the veranda, there are several unique assorted windows. Some are crescent-shaped, some are hexagonal, some are fan-shaped, and the window frames are carved with bricks. Exquisite.
Through these assorted windows, the first person entering the yard standing outside the Shuhua Gate can see the scene of the second entry into the yard, and the person entering the second yard can naturally also see the first entry into the yard.
Without exception, between the two layers of tempered glass inside and outside these assorted windows, there is a small pot of bonsai, dotted with the courtyard and the wall.
In addition, at the western end of the courtyard, there is a blue and white goldfish tank, but a dozen brightly colored goldfish in the fish tank have been put into the fish tank in the inverted house.
It is winter after all, and it is extremely cold at night. Obviously, you cannot keep the goldfish outside, otherwise you will have to freeze to death.
Like the pair of stone unicorns in the early Kangxi period, this blue and white gold fish tank is also an antique relic. It is a blue and white fish tank fired in the early Daoguang period. It is an imitation of the Ming Wanli blue and white tank, which is worth a few silver!
In addition to these, on the walls on both sides of the vertical flower door, as well as the doors, windows and walls of the five inverted houses, there are carved beams and paintings ~EbookFREE.me~ with various exquisite patterns and patterns.
Even the steps in front of the Suihua Gate are carved with patterns of the Four Gentlemen of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum". The patterns of each step are different, each with its own characteristics and different meanings.
Same as before, Ye Tian and the others stopped again, admiring everything in front of them.
Especially David and Jason, they all squatted on the assorted windows, looking at the exquisite brick carved window frames and the small and exquisite bonsai inside, their eyes were straight!
"Steven, here and there are residences, it's simply a magnificent palace. Even the Forbidden City we visited today does not seem to be as beautiful here. Everything here is a work of art."
Jason exclaimed directly, his eyes full of envy, his expression was quite exaggerated.
David and the others behaved the same, they were all completely shocked and completely fascinated by everything in front of them.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled triumphantly and said:
"This is just the beginning, folks, when you enter this gorgeous weeping flower gate, you can really see and understand what a real palace is.
Compared with the Forbidden City we visited in the morning, the gate of this mansion is not as grand as the Forbidden City, and no house in China can surpass the Forbidden City in this respect.
But in terms of exquisiteness, this mansion door can still be compared, and in terms of livability and comfort, it is definitely far beyond the Forbidden City."
With that said, Ye Tian had already stepped up the steps, and then through the Chuhua Gate, walked into the second courtyard of the mansion gate.
What appeared before his eyes at this moment was another beautiful scene.
