There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 10
Shen Fang's house is on the other side of Yangchang Hutong, near Deshengmen Street, and it's still a bit of a distance to walk from the bar. They were afraid that the two girls would quit after walking, so they planned to drive there.

Shen Hui led the way from Houhai to Deshengmen Street, and then turned into an alley. The alley was not big, and only two cars could drive side by side. After walking along the alley for about 400 meters, she came to a three-way intersection. Hui pulled over and stopped the car, and got out of the car with the two maids.

Shen Fang also parked the car in the parking space behind Shen Hui's car, got out of the car, looked around, and said, "Is this here? Why has the neighborhood changed so much?"

Shen Hui pointed to a house in the northeast corner of the three-way intersection and said, "This is the yard. Go... go in and have a look."

The courtyard faces south and is more than 30 meters wide. Counting east along the corner of Sancha Road, there is a row of inverted houses with as many as five or six rooms.

"I asked someone to convert the upside-down house into a garage, and opened a rolling gate on the west wall. You can drive your car in from this intersection." Shen Hui pointed to the roll-up gate on the north side of the upside-down house. "Come on, let's go in through the main entrance today." Then he pulled the two girls and led Shen Fang forward.

The main entrance of the courtyard is the second from the east of the inverted room. It is a gate of gold pillars, nearly three meters wide, with five bluestone steps going up. There is a stone lion on the left and right of the steps. Zhifushou, the gate of the gate is overhanging, and the gate opening is nearly two meters wide.There are auspicious clouds engraved on the lintel, and carved decorations on the left and right gables.

Shen Hui stepped forward and turned the assistant head on the right, revealing a keyhole in the door, then took out the key from Kun's bag and said, "I asked someone to change this door into a security door for you. Change it to a fingerprint lock, if you need to tell me, I will find the manufacturer to replace it for you."

The door is very thick and has electric power. With a slight push, the door opens to both sides.The first thing that catches the eye after entering the door is a huge green brick screen wall. In the middle of the screen wall is a round stone carving of "two lions holding a ball".

The two maids stood in front of the screen wall in surprise, even if they raised their feet, they couldn't reach the hydrangea between the two lions.

Passing through the screen door, you can see a hanging flower gate in the middle of the inner courtyard wall. The two front eaves columns of the hanging flower gate hang in the air, and the upside-down column heads are carved as "lotus petals", which were called "two gates" in ancient times. , After entering the second gate, it belongs to the inner courtyard.

Shen Hui pointed to an iron gate on the opposite side and said: "That is the entrance to the garage. The two inverted rooms on the west have been converted into garages for you. They can park five or six cars in total, which should be enough for you. The rooms on the east As a servant's room, I will hire a nanny for you in the future, and I will be responsible for cleaning it for you."

There was a wooden door on the north side of the inverted room, which was not locked, and Shen Hui opened it with a light push.There are only a few bay windows along the street in the entire inverted house. The garages on the west side have all been sealed, and the few rooms on the east side are still reserved to enhance daylighting.

On both sides of the vertical flower gate is a veranda more than one meter wide, which connects the vertical flower gate and the east and west wing rooms, and leads directly to the main room. There are more than a dozen pots of bonsai on the aisle of the corridor, which are located on the incense table. Vibrant.There are three rooms in the east and west rooms, three rooms in the main room on the opposite side, and two side rooms on the left and right sides.

The garden in the inner courtyard is about ten meters wide and about 15 meters deep. The corridors paved with bluestone in the middle form a cross, leading from the vertical flower gate to the main room and the east and west wing rooms respectively.The corridor cuts the inner courtyard into four pieces. On both sides of the gate of the main room are two big trees with bowl-thick mouths. The one on the right is a Chinese toon tree, and the one on the left is a ginkgo tree. A bamboo recliner is placed under the ginkgo tree. , a few golden ginkgo leaves sprinkled on it, very beautiful.

In the middle of the two trees is a descendant tank chiseled out of bluestone. The edge of the tank is engraved with the pattern of twining branches. The water is eight percent high, with two water lilies and a few fallen leaves floating on it, and a few koi swimming under the water lilies without haste.

In the southeast corner is a grape arbor made of anti-corrosion wood, covered with green bricks underneath, an iron tea table and four arm stools are placed under the arbor.It’s almost mid-autumn, the grapes have almost been picked, and the leaves of the vines have fallen all over the place; the southwest corner is a flower bed, which is made of green bricks about 20 centimeters in size, with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and a circle of plants is planted near the outer circle. Phalaenopsis, there are several white roses planted inside the Phalaenopsis, the petals are white, the flower center is light yellow, and the wind brings a refreshing fragrance of flowers.In the innermost part is a wisteria, entangled on the flower stand, but the gray-brown branches are winding like dragon snakes, occupying nearly half of the entire flower bed. The flower spikes should hang from the branches, purple with blue, as bright as clouds.

Shen Fang brushed off the fallen leaves on the rocking chair, lay on it, looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, and felt peaceful in his heart.This is exactly: don't be shocked by honor or disgrace, just watch the flowers bloom and fall before the court.Going or staying has no intention of following the clouds and clouds in the sky.

After stopping the two little girls who wanted to enter the flower bed to pick flowers, Shen Hui continued to introduce: "The one to the south of the east wing is the kitchen, the remaining two can be used as restaurants, and the west wing is the guest room. God; the main room is the master room, the left side room is your bedroom, and the right side room is your study room. I have hired a special person to build the furniture for you, and the electrical appliances have been prepared for you. You can live in with some bedding; The main room, the side room of the main room and the west wing room have been rebuilt with independent bathrooms and toilets. All rooms are heated by floor heating. The boiler is in the annex room to the south of the east wing room. I asked them to install independent air conditioners in the back room."

Shen Hui led Shen Fang to visit the rooms one by one. The furniture in the wing room and the main room has been fully equipped, including antique mahogany furniture, Chinese sofa, coffee table, Eight Immortals table, official hat chair, incense table, antique shelf, and couch.The bedroom is slightly more modern, with a huge solid wood bed, a delicate dressing table, and a separate cloakroom, which looks natural, relaxed and casual.

There is a moon door next to the east ear room, which leads directly to the backyard.The backyard is a little narrower, only more than five meters wide. There are a few rockery piled up with Taihu Lake stones near the gable wall, and a clump of green bamboo and two wintersweet trees are planted beside it.In addition, a few begonias on the edge are at the end of the flowering period at this time, and the petals have turned purple, which is just a cluster of light and thick clusters.

The backyard is paved with square bricks. There is a wall-mounted door in the northwest corner of the backyard hut. Outside the door is the Dama Street alley. This is the back door of the house. The original two wooden doors have been replaced with metal anti-theft doors.There are three bluestone steps at the main entrance of the house. Pushing the door open, there is a large space inside. The depth of the house is five meters. The original windows on the back wall have been replaced with glass windows.There are seven rooms on the left and right sides of the back cover room, and a basement, about 40 square meters. The exit is near the eastmost one. Shen Hui has already asked someone to convert it into a constant temperature wine cellar, but it is empty and has not placed wine.

Shen Fang pointed to the back room and said: "Sister, you still understand me, this arrangement is too satisfactory. From now on, this place will be a place to entertain friends. I will make a tea room in the west rooms, and a show room in the east rooms." , there is a liquor store below, and I will have a party with some friends in the future, drink wine, taste tea, play music, don't be too happy."

After looking at the whole courtyard for nearly an hour, it was getting late, Shen Fang and Shen Hui returned to Zijin Villa together with the reluctance of the two little girls.

After staying overnight in the hospital yesterday, and after another day of shopping today, Shen Fang was already exhausted, so he went upstairs to rest not long after dinner.
