Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 140, Auspicious Gate
"Master, long time no see. You are auspicious, old lady." Not long after, Shitou led Lei Laoer in, followed by a young man about 20 years old.

After entering, Lei Laoer saw Jiang Yan sitting under the grape vine and said hello to Grandma Lu.

Jiang Yan is very famous in this courtyard now. He is not only an overseas student from SL, but also the chief engineer in the rolling mill. There is a person who works in the rolling mill in his yard, and he highly respects Jiang Yan.

It is impossible for the well-informed Lei Lao Er to know that he once wanted to come and visit Jiang Yan, but he didn't have a good excuse.

Now that Jiang Yan is looking for him, he will come here without being a dick.

Jiang Yan sized up Lei Lao Er from the moment he entered the door. Compared with five years ago, Lei Lao Er was much older, and his straight waist turned out to be a little bent!There are also some patches on the clothes on his body. It seems that he has had a difficult life in the past few years.

"It's been a long time, Uncle Lei. I didn't tell you. Don't call me Young Master. This is a new society. Either call me Xiao Jiang or Comrade Jiang Yan."

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Lei's second son said, "Then let's call you Comrade Jiang!"

"Whatever, Uncle Lei, don't introduce anyone to the little brother behind you."

"Oh oh oh! Look, I'm so happy and confused when I see you. This is Lei Yuanchao, a child of my elder brother's family. Now follow me."

Hearing his second uncle introduce him, the kid shyly greeted Jiang Yan.

"Uncle Lei like this, I want to repair my door again."

The small door of Jiang Yan's small courtyard is equivalent to the side door of a courtyard house. It is relatively small, and it is a bit difficult to push the "Kuzi" in.

It happened that He Yuzhu and the others were decorating the house, so they wanted to expand the gate of their house.

Now that I have a "baby", I can't guarantee that I will be able to get a car when I get up to my level, so I have to plan ahead, right?

"I don't know how to repair this gate, whether to expand it on the basis of the side gate or directly make it a new gate."

Second Lei looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

After listening to Lei's second son, Jiang Yan thought for a while, and said to him: "Let's just make it a main gate! But the gate should be wider, and make a slope for vehicles to enter. Leave me on the right side of the gate. Come out to a position so that I can stop the "Kuzi".

"It's an easy job, there's no problem, it only takes a few days, but what kind of door are we installing?"

"There is still a lot of care in installing the gate." Jiang Yan asked a little curiously.

"That's not it."

"Uncle Lei, sit down, why is the stone so blind, pour tea for Uncle Lei quickly."

Jiang Yan turned his head and gave a command to Shi Shi who was sitting beside him.

After Lei's second uncle and nephew sat down.Jiang Yan said again: "Uncle Lei, what's going on here. Can you tell me about it so that I can learn more?"

"No problem at all."

After saying this, Second Lei took a sip of the tea made by the stone and said, "Let's talk about the courtyard first."

"When we built courtyard houses some time ago, people in Sijiu City tabooed that the ground in the courtyard is lower than the ground in alleys and streets. It is not auspicious, so when building a courtyard house, the foundation should be higher than the ground, and the plinth should be solid."

"And the gate of the courtyard is also very particular. It is the facade of the owner and a symbol of the family's status. In the past, there was a folk saying: "The higher the threshold, the harder it is to enter. "It's the gate of our Siheyuan in Sijiu City."

"The gates of our Siheyuan in Sijiu City are divided into six types according to their styles."

After Lei Laoer finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Seeing Jiang Yan and the others listening carefully, a smug flash of eyes flashed in his eyes. He put down the water cup, cleared his throat, and then spoke.

"The first type is called Guangliang gate. "Guangliang", as the name suggests, means spacious and bright. When it comes to the level of "gate", it must belong to Guangliang gate except for the palace gate and palace gate. Guangliang gate is the most One of the notable signs is that the door opens at the central pillar of the courtyard gate, and the entire corridor looks like a room."

"Excuse me, a pen and paper, please."

Hearing what Lei's second child said, Jiang Yan gestured to Shitou, Shitou turned and went back to the house to bring paper and pen.

After Mr. Lei took the paper and pen, he casually drew the appearance of the Guangliang gate on the paper.

Then Lei Laoer introduced the Jinzhu Gate, "Manzi Gate", Ruyi Gate, Wall-style Gate and Western-style Gate respectively.

This Lei Laoer drew each style of door when he introduced each style of door.

It has to be said that Lei Laoer's painter is very solid, and he pays special attention to realism. Looking at his paintings is like seeing a real door.

After listening to Lei's second brother's introduction, Jiang Yan sighed in his heart: "The people in Sijiu City are really particular."

Jiang Yan remembered someone saying on the Internet in his previous life: "In the life of the old people in the four or nine cities, there are many etiquettes and attentions. Dressing should be time-honored, eating should be based on old craftsmanship, housing should be based on the north and south courtyards, and acquaintances should shout when they pass by. "you"."

Many people said that these old people from the four or nine cities are poor and fastidious, but in Jiang Yan's view, they are not so fastidious as they know the rules and have a bottom line.

Perhaps with the passage of time, the long history of Sijiucheng and these exquisite rules still set off waves in the hearts of the people of Sijiucheng. This kind of exquisite culture has deeply penetrated into the hearts of every person in Forty-Nine City.

Seeing these gates of various shapes and colors, Jiang Yan had a hard time choosing. To be honest, if this was placed in later generations, he would definitely choose the Guangliang gate. .

But after thinking about it, ten years later will be a period of storms. If a knowledgeable person sees the door of his house, it will probably cause a little disturbance. It is better to keep a low profile on your qualifications.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said directly to Lei's second son, "Uncle Lei, you are more experienced in this kind of work. You can see which kind of gate I install. It's best to keep a low profile."

Lei Laoer understood Jiang Yan's meaning in an instant. After thinking about it for about ten seconds, he said directly: "Our gate is opened from the wall, and it is not all in the southeast direction. I feel that installing a wishful gate would be very convenient good."

"Ruyi Gate" Hearing Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan took another look at the drawing of Ruyi Gate drawn by Lei Laoer.

This gate Jiang Yan knew that almost all the alleys had gates of this style.Build one yourself and be unobtrusive, and that's it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said directly to Lei's second son: "Uncle Lei, you have experience in this area, so let's do it."

After Lei's second child left, Jiang Yan ate a bowl of fried sauce noodles made by He Yuzhu, said hello to his grandma and the others, and returned to his room.

I went back to my own space and took a shower. After I came out, I put on my pajamas and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
