As nine o'clock approached, Lishi Hutong became more lively, with vehicles constantly coming and going and people buzzing.
You can see that almost everyone who goes in and out of this alley has a bright smile on their face, and everyone is full of expectations.
The guests invited to attend the Chinese wedding of Ye Tian and Betty have arrived at Lishi Hutong one after another and entered the gate of this mansion located in the middle of the alley.
At this time, Ye Tian had already put on a formal dress, tidied up neatly and meticulously, and was standing at the door of his home to greet the guests who came to congratulate him.
However, Betty, the heroine of this wedding, was not with him. She did not come out to greet the guests, but stayed at home.
The reason is very simple. Betty is pregnant and it’s freezing outside. Naturally, she can’t come out and stand at the door to enjoy the breeze, and the elders in the family can’t allow it.
Most of the guests attending the wedding today are relatives of the old Ye family and old neighbors who live in Lishi Hutong. They basically know about Betty's pregnancy and won't mind.
In addition to his family, friends and neighbors, Ye Tian also invited some other guests.
These guests are all well-known figures in the field of antique art collection, such as Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City, Mr. Ma and others. They add up to just one table.
As for other people in the field of collecting antiques and art, as well as Ye Tian's childhood friends, classmates, they will be entertained tomorrow, and it will be at a Beijing hotel, not at home.
While talking, Ye Tian sent several relatives at home through the gate, and then asked Dongzi to take these relatives into the yard.
When Ye Tian came out of the door and just walked down the steps, he saw Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City and other old men walking towards the door of his house talking and laughing.
Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately greeted them, and the old men also waved to him.
After everyone met, there was naturally a lot of politeness and greetings, New Year greetings to each other, etc.
Next, Ye Tian brought these old men to the door of his house, preparing to take them in personally.
As they walked to the door, these masters in the field of antique art collection stopped in unison and looked at the two stone lions placed on both sides of the door and the four lamps hanging above the door. Octagonal palace lantern.
Without exception, the eyes of each of these old men at this time were shining with surprise.
In a blink of an eye, they could see that the two stone lions placed at the entrance of the mansion and the four octagonal palace lanterns hanging on the gate tower were genuine antique cultural relics, and each one was worth a lot of money. rare.
After confirming this, each of them secretly took a breath of air-conditioning and were shocked by Ye Tian's generosity.
"Ye Tian, I have been to your mansion before, more than once. At that time, the courtyard had not yet fallen into your hands. To be honest, the changes in this mansion have been so great that I can hardly recognize it. Out.
Before, there was another pair of stone lions and a pair of stone drums placed at this door. They were both from the Republic of China period. They were incomparable to the pair of stone lions in front of me. They were like one in the sky and one on the earth.
If I read it correctly, these should be a pair of stone lions carved in the middle of the Qianlong period. They came from the Qing Palace Building Office and are worth a lot of money. I don’t know where you got such a pair of treasures?
You actually place such a pair of priceless stone lions at the door of your house in a grand manner. I have to say that you are really big-hearted. Aren't you afraid that these treasures will be stolen? ”
Master Ma pointed at the two stone lions in front of him and said, his eyes full of envy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Jin from the Forbidden City continued:
“Not only this pair of stone lions, but also the four octagonal palace lanterns hanging on the gate tower are from the Qing Palace Building Office and were made in the early Jiaqing period. There are not many such well-preserved octagonal glazed palace lanterns in our Forbidden City.
Once these palace lanterns are lit, they will slowly rotate and project the patterns on the palace lanterns, like a flowing painting. They are very beautiful. You are willing to hang such a precious treasure at the door! ”
Not only the two of them, but also several other old men nodded incessantly, even feeling a little pained.
Ye Tian glanced at these old men, then looked at the two stone lions and four octagonal glazed palace lanterns at the door, and then said with a smile:
"You guys have really sharp eyesight, and you can tell at a glance, yes, the pair of stone lions and the four octagonal glazed palace lanterns at the door are all from the Qing Palace Building Office, and they are valuable antique cultural relics.
This pair of stone lions were treasures that I found in the United States. I then transported them back to China and placed them here. The stone lions and stone drums that were originally placed at the entrance of this mansion were all received by me into the warehouse.
The four octagonal glazed palace lanterns hanging on the gatehouse were treasures I found in the Portobello Market in London, England. I bought them and sent them back to China. They came in handy today.
These four octagonal glazed palace lanterns are usually not hung at the door, but in the yard. This pair of stone lions have always been placed here. As for safety issues, there is no need to worry at all. I have my own way to protect them."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, several old men chuckled and looked at the security personnel standing not far away.
Isn’t it? Who can take advantage of this guy Ye Tian? I have never heard of it. No matter who it is, if you want to take advantage of these stone lions, it is tantamount to asking for death.
Don't even think about it. The current Lishi Alley is definitely under the control of Ye Tian. Anyone who enters this alley cannot escape the eyes of his security personnel.
Furthermore, this kid also intends to purchase and renovate the entire Lishi Alley. If this real estate deal is really completed, then there is no doubt that this Lishi Alley will become his private domain.
After standing at the door and admiring these antiques for a while, Ye Tian led Shan Lao and Ma Ye into the door and walked into the yard.
As soon as they entered the door, the eyes of these old men were immediately attracted by the various furnishings inside the door, and they were filled with admiration.
“Nine spring scenes! And it’s such a huge brick screen wall, which is rare in Beijing today. It’s really an eye-opener today!”
"There are also two colorful flowerpots with plum blossoms. They are antique porcelain from the mid-Qing Dynasty. They are a pair and have a certain value."
"Even this solid wood shelf with bonsais on it is also mahogany furniture from the late Qing Dynasty. These bonsais are also very good, giving people a feeling of spring"
While admiring the various furnishings in front of them, several old men were admiring and discussing, and their eyes were almost exhausted.
Ye Tianze stood aside, looking at these old men with shining eyes with a smile on his face, a somewhat proud look in his eyes.
After a moment, he smiled and said:
"Senior gentlemen, please come inside. There are many good antiques and artworks in the yard, and the scenery is also very good. You can enjoy them slowly"
With his words, Mr. Shan and Mr. Ma suddenly woke up and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Next, Ye Tian led these old men to turn left around the screen wall and walked towards the hanging flower door leading to the first courtyard.
Same as before, as soon as they entered the place, the eyes of several old men were drawn away again and they looked at the various furnishings in front of them.
At this time, on the doors of the rooms on the left side of everyone, there is a big red word "happiness" on each door, and there are several palace lanterns hanging on the eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings, full of festive atmosphere.
On the Chaoshou verandah opposite the inverted room, every assorted window has a word "happy" on it, which complements the bonsai between the two layers of tempered glass of the assorted window.
At the west end of the inverted room, there is a huge mackerel fish tank with sparkling water and several colorful goldfish swimming freely in it.
Because of the distance, it is temporarily impossible to identify the mackerel fish tank, but Mr. Shan and Ma Ye both know very well that the mackerel fish tank must also be a valuable antique cultural relic.
The various exquisite patterns carved on the walls, the corridors, and even the floor tiles, as well as the 'Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum' patterns carved on the steps in front of the hanging flower door, are also very interesting.
Looking at the hanging flower door leading to the first courtyard, there is a Spring Festival couplet meaning auspiciousness posted on both sides of the door, and there are two big red words "happy" on the hanging flower door.
The red carpet extending from outside the gate extends all the way here, and then extends into the courtyard inside through the hanging flower door in front.
While talking, everyone had arrived in front of the hanging flower door, stopped in front of the steps, and looked at the courtyard inside the door.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of emotion on the scene.
"Ye Tian, you are so smart and enjoy life! There is no doubt that this is the most beautiful courtyard house I have ever seen. Although the area is not larger than that of several royal palaces, the level of exquisiteness is far beyond it! ”
"The fish tank on the ceiling, the pomegranate tree, the old man, the fat dog, the fat girl, this is the real old Beijing courtyard life! Compared with the gate of this big house, our courtyard is not worth mentioning at all, we can just throw it away!"
While sighing with emotion, the eyes of these old men all flashed with envy, and even a bit jealous.
Can we not feel envious of all this, the antique artworks everywhere, and this leisurely life?
Looking at the performance of these old men, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
“The people living in this mansion are mainly my elders, grandparents, parents, etc. The environment here is really good, and living in this mansion is indeed a kind of enjoyment.
But I don’t dare to live here for a long time, for fear that the extremely comfortable environment here will kill my fighting spirit. After all, I am still young, and I am not yet old enough to give up everything and enjoy life, so I have to continue to struggle! ”
Hearing this, several old men couldn't help but rolled their eyes angrily, and they all secretly complained.
Do you want to continue to struggle? I can’t make enough money! Are you going to let others live?
