A few minutes later, Ye Tian and the others arrived in front of their home.
However, this is no longer the old house where Ye Tian grew up, but a luxurious mansion with a five-yard courtyard and a private garden, which is one of the best in Beijing.
After looking through all the courtyards in the capital, except for a few famous palaces, such as Prince Gong's Palace, there is no other courtyard that can compare with this mansion gate.
This is the most famous and best-preserved mansion gate in Lishi Hutong. No. 129, Lishi Hutong, was once the residence of the prefect of Wuchang in the late Qing Dynasty, and later housed many celebrities.
When he returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival last year, Ye Tian spent 1.24 billion yuan to sell the door of this mansion with an area of more than 1,200 square meters!
Another adjacent courtyard with an area of more than 600 square meters was also taken over by him and included in his pocket.
Next, the two courtyards were connected and connected into one. 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.
Not long after Ye Tian and the others left Beijing, the ancient construction team from the Forbidden City stationed in this courtyard and began to carry out renovations, repairs, and modernization to create the most comfortable living environment.
The change of hands and renovation of this super mansion caused quite a stir in the city of Beijing, and made countless people extremely envious, including many who were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
However, when those guys learned that the gate of this mansion belonged to Ye Tian, they immediately gave up all their wishful thinking and didn't even dare to think about it!
After the modernization of this mansion was completed and it was left vacant for half a year, grandpa and his family moved into this super mansion and began to live here and enjoy family happiness.
At this time, Ye Tian was standing in front of this super mansion, admiring this magnificent mansion.
In front of him was a grand and bright door, built on a five-level double-hanging marble tread. The top of the door was decorated with antique carved beams and painted beams. There were four carved brass door hairpins on the vermilion door panel, which was very special. Eye-catching.
The eight-character walls on both sides of the courtyard entrance and the courtyard walls along the street are carved with exquisite brick carving patterns, which are pleasing to the eye.
And these brick carving patterns have their own meanings, such as wealth in the Yutang, peace in the four seasons, etc.
The brick carvings in the courtyard of No. 129 Lishi Hutong are also a unique and famous scenery among all courtyards in the capital, and Ye Tian naturally cannot bear to destroy them.
In addition, on both sides of the courtyard gate stands a lifelike stone lion about one and a half meters tall, with hydrangeas on its feet.
A large bonsai is placed on the outside of the two stone lions. Although it is winter, these two large bonsais are green and full of vitality, giving people a strong sense of spring.
Although he has not yet entered the gate of this mansion and does not know what the internal situation will be like after the renovation, the appearance of this super mansion gate 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 and bright door in front of him, Ye Tian also used the corner of his eye to scan the other two courtyards on the left and right.
During this period, he also turned around and looked at the courtyard across the alley, and thoroughly looked through the courtyard.
In addition, he also looked through every surveillance probe and hidden pinhole camera installed near the entrance of this super mansion, and did not miss any one.
After doing all this, he said to David and others who followed:
"Guys, please come in, this is my home in Beijing, my family has prepared dinner, you can taste it later"
With his words, David and Jason, who had fallen into a sluggish state, just woke up.
Immediately afterwards, these guys started to sigh with emotion, their words and expressions were quite exaggerated.
"Wow! Steven, this is simply a palace, so beautiful and charming, just like the Forbidden City we visited this morning!"
“I can’t believe it. In just one year, this courtyard has undergone earth-shaking changes. I can’t even recognize it.”
Amidst the exclamations, Ye Tian and the others stepped up the steps and walked into the door of this super mansion.
As soon as you enter the gate, you are faced with a tall screen wall.
The screen wall is carved with exquisite patterns, which are slightly different from the brick carvings outside the door. It is a picture of nine spring colors, giving people a sense of vitality.
In front of and on both sides of this screen wall, there is a simple and elegant solid wood flower stand, with several bonsais placed on it, with different shapes, and they are all very beautiful!
In particular, the two pots of plum blossoms placed on both sides of the screen wall are blooming beautifully at this time. They are not afraid of the cold of winter, sending people a refreshing fragrance of flowers and decorating their lives.
When they came to the screen wall, Ye Tian and the others stopped and began to admire it.
After a while, they turned around and walked towards the Weeping Flower Gate, strolling forward while admiring the grand gate of this palace-like mansion.
Dongzi, who followed next to him, took on the responsibility of explaining and introduced the house to Ye Tian.
"Brother, after passing through the screen wall, you will enter the courtyard for the first time. Next to the alley is the south room, which is the reverse room. There are five rooms in total. The nanny and driver who takes care of the grandparents live here.
There is no main room and east and west wing rooms in this courtyard. Opposite the reverse room is the hanging flower door. Entering through the hanging flower door is the second courtyard, which is the front yard. Our family lives in the front yard..."
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at the Chuihua Gate.
This is a one-hall, one-volume hanging flower door, also built on five marble steps. Compared with the Guangliang door outside, it is not as grand, but more exquisite and gorgeous.
In front of this hanging flower door, there is also a pair of stone beasts, but they are not stone lions, but a pair of unicorns. They are smaller in size, not fierce in appearance, but rather naive!
More importantly, these are 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 once placed in the mansion of a prince in the early years.
After the prince's family fell into decline, the pair of stone unicorns wandered among the people, and then to the United States more than a hundred years ago. However, they were discovered by Ye Tian in Philadelphia and kept in his pocket.
When the door of the mansion was renovated and decorated, he sent people to transport the pair of stone unicorns back to the country and placed them in front of the hanging flower door.
On the viewing walls on both sides of the hanging flower door, that is, the corridor, there are several assorted windows with unique shapes, some are crescent-shaped, some are hexagonal, some are like fans, and the window frames are made of bricks. Carved, very delicate.
Through these assorted windows, the first person who enters the yard standing outside the hanging flower door can see the scene of the second person who enters the yard. The second person who enters the yard can naturally also see the scene of the first person who enters the yard. Case.
Without exception, between the two layers of tempered glass inside and outside these assorted windows, there is a small bonsai placed, dotting the courtyard and the wall.
In addition, there is a blue and white goldfish tank at the west end of the courtyard, but the dozen or so colorful goldfish in the fish tank have been put into the fish tank in the back room.
It is winter after all, and it is extremely cold at night. Obviously, you cannot leave the goldfish outside, otherwise it will freeze to death.
Like the pair of stone unicorns from the early Kangxi period, this blue and white goldfish bowl is also an antique cultural relic. It is a blue and white fish bowl made in the early Daoguang period, imitating the large blue and white goldfish bowl of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It is also worth a few silver!
In addition to these, the walls on both sides of the hanging flower door, as well as the doors, windows and walls of the five inverted rooms are carved with various exquisite patterns and patterns.
Even the steps in front of the hanging flower door are engraved with the patterns of the Four Gentlemen of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum". The patterns on 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 were all lying on the assorted windows, looking at the exquisite brick-carved window frames and the small and exquisite bonsai inside, their eyes were straight!
"Steven, there are residences here and there, it is simply a magnificent palace. Even the Forbidden City we visited today does not seem to be as beautiful as here. Everything here is a work of art."
Jason immediately exclaimed, his eyes full of envy and his expression was quite exaggerated.
David and the others behaved the same way. They were all completely shocked and fascinated by what they saw in front of them.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled triumphantly and said:
"This is just the beginning, guys. Only when you enter this gorgeous hanging flower door can you truly see and truly 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. There is no residence in China that can surpass the Forbidden City in this regard.
But in terms of sophistication, this mansion can still be compared, and in terms of livability and comfort, this place definitely far surpasses the Forbidden City."
As he spoke, Ye Tian walked up the steps, passed through the hanging flower door, and walked into the second courtyard of the mansion.
What appeared in front of him at this moment was another beautiful scene.
