Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 43 Minwa
Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in to check the situation of the courtyard house, the treasure hunting mouse kept squeaking again. Du Kang was taken aback, hearing it seemed to mean that there was something to gain.

Du Kang was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to be rewarded.

Following its guidance, it came to the gate of a courtyard on the left, and the treasure hunting mouse kept squeaking, indicating that it was there.

Unfortunately, his IQ is not high, he can't speak, and the meaning he expresses is not clear.

But it didn't bother him. When Du Kang trained the treasure hunting mouse, he had already expected this kind of situation and prepared various methods for testing.

Put the treasure hunting mouse down and let it go in to explore the way. After several tests, I finally figured out the situation.

There is a huge secret room under the courtyard, the area is not small, it is as big as several rooms.

It has been a long time since no one went in, and even the entrance has collapsed.

This is an unused secret room!
It's a pity that I don't know if there are any treasures in it. Judging from the performance of the treasure hunting mouse, there should be none, at least not on the surface.

But this is also enough for Du Kang to be excited, a huge unused secret room, it is not an extra space for nothing.

Whether it is used to hide property or keep it for yourself, it is a good choice.

The most important thing is that he doesn't need money, even the owner doesn't know that there is this secret room, as long as he buys the upper courtyard, the lower secret room can be obtained without spending a penny.

The only pity is that the secret room is in the courtyard next to it, not the one to be sold.

Isn’t this ridiculous, you want to use this secret room, or use it secretly, or you can only buy the courtyard above it.

"What are you doing?"

It may be that he stayed for a long time and attracted others' attention. A 50-year-old man in the courtyard next to him came out to ask questions.

Du Kang pointed to the courtyard next to him and asked, "I heard that there is a courtyard for sale here. I came here to inquire about the situation. Is it this?"

"It's me who wants to sell."

The man answered, and then looked at him suspiciously. After all, Du Kang didn't look like a rich man.

Du Kang's face was a bit dark, but there was nothing he could do. He was young and had no hair on his mouth, so he couldn't do things well. In addition, he was dressed at home, so he didn't look like someone who could take out tens of thousands of dollars at once.

But he didn't explain it, and directly passed the information in his hand to him, saying, "I'm going to buy a courtyard house. I've shopped around a few today, but unfortunately none of them are suitable. I don't know how your set will meet my wishes."

The other party took the information and flipped through it, and was surprised to find that there were several sets of courtyard houses for sale, including his courtyard house.

There is not only a brief introduction of the courtyard house on it, but also an explanation of the price, which immediately stands in awe.

At present, there are not many courtyard houses for sale, and most of them are sold through their own channels. Most people can't know the situation even if they want to inquire.

After all, it is ordinary people who can spend thousands or even tens of thousands to buy a courtyard house.Even if the publicity is known all over the world, those are the only ones that can be bought with money.

How can it be ordinary people who can find these sets of materials all at once.

Especially when he saw the seal of the public house at the back, he knew that the other party was of extraordinary status, and might really be able to buy his courtyard house.

"I am Zhang Weiming, the owner of this house."

"I am Du Kang, I'll call you Uncle Zhang, I wonder if I can go in and have a look around."

"Please come in."

This time Zhang Weiming didn't stop him, he opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed him in.

As he went in, there was a carved screen wall facing him. The screen wall was exquisitely made of a whole piece of marble, with plum blossoms blooming on it, and there were two auspicious words "auspicious" and "peace", which made people feel good when they saw it. Feeling.

There are two large vats in front of the screen wall, where lotus flowers are planted. At this time, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is too beautiful to behold.

When the lotus flowers fall and the lotus pods appear, you can still eat the freshest lotus seeds.

Turning to the left, there is a door with hanging flowers, which leads to the second entrance courtyard, where the east and west wing rooms of the main house of the courtyard house are located.

This is also the second door in the legend. The ancient girls did not step out of the second door, so this is the door they are talking about.

Entering the second courtyard, there are five main rooms, the main wall with a ridge of [-] meters and [-] meters, which looks magnificent.

There are several large flower beds on the green brick ground in the courtyard, at least they were flower beds back then, but now they are already full of vegetables.

There are still two pomegranate trees, which are full of pomegranate flowers at this time, and will be covered with pomegranates in autumn.

There are Chaoshou verandahs around, that is, corridors with a roof on it, so you don't have to worry about getting wet when you walk in it in wind and rain.

With the layout of this courtyard house, when it is windy and rainy, you don’t have to worry about getting wet without an umbrella. There are corridors connecting the places where you cook, eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.

Following him to the study room, several bookshelves were placed in it, which gave off a scent of books.

Looking at the window again, it is not glass, but a translucent object - Mingwa.

In ancient times, paper was used to paste windows, and paper-cut window grilles were pasted on them, which has a different kind of beauty.

But that was just a helpless choice, the paper is so thin, even if the window is sanded, stretched and painted with tung oil, it can be used to keep out the wind and rain, but it is not cold-proof and not transparent.

In summer, it’s okay, but in winter, the north wind howls, and when the windows are closed, the room is dark. Although there is no light, it is not bright, and when the windows are opened, the cold wind blows into the bones.

Close the window like it is dark, open the window to freeze the dog to death.

Don't feel too good about it.

But this kind of suffering is only suffered by poor people.

The really rich people use Mingwa.

Mingwa is not a tile invented in the Ming Dynasty, but a translucent object, each piece is only the size of a palm, which is perfect for matching wooden lattice windows.

In the middle of the wooden lattice window is a square lattice composed of wooden strips, and a pane is embedded with a tile, which is neat and beautiful.

And there is another advantage. The transparency and lighting of Mingwa cannot be compared with glass.

It is conceivable that even if the sun is shining outside, in the closed room, only a little light from the sky shines in through the bright tiles on the wooden lattice windows, giving people the feeling of setting sun and dusk.

The artistic conception is very good.

"You are Mingwa, but it is a pity that it has been in disrepair for a long time and has been seriously damaged."

"You can find a craftsman to repair it later."

Du Kang looked at him strangely and asked, "Are there still craftsmen who can make Mingwa?"

Zhang Weiming smiled brightly and did not answer. He also wanted to restore Mingwa before, but unfortunately there are no craftsmen who know how to make it.

With the prevalence of glass, the original Mingwa no longer exists. If you want to restore it, you can only replace it with glass, but that will lose the charm of Mingwa.

Du Kang didn't care if he could find a Mingwa craftsman, because he was a ready-made Mingwa craftsman.

The horns are boiled into a transparent liquid, condensed and pressed into sheets, which are called Mingwa; lampshades are made, which are called horn lamps.

That's right, it's a ram horn lamp. By using another method, you can get Mingwa.

You can even add colors to it to make bright tiles of various colors.
