Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 813: Childhood playground
In the voice of Ye Tian explaining the scenery along the way, three cars drove through the bustling streets, and finally came to the intersection of Dongsi Lishi Hutong.
Lishi Hutong is located in Dongcheng District of Beijing, starting from Chaoyangmen South Street in the east, Dongsi South Street in the west, Zhixiang Tongyanle Hutong and Dengcao Hutong in the south, and Tongqian Guabang Hutong in the north.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this was a market for selling donkeys and mules, called ‘Lose Hutong’. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty when the livestock market was abolished and people cleverly renamed it ‘Lishi Hutong’ according to the homophony.
The courtyard house of Ye Tian's grandfather's house is located in this ancient Lishi Hutong, not far from the TV drama filming location and the mansion of the prefect of Wuchang in Qing Dynasty.
Of course, the two houses are simply incomparable. The house of Ye Tian's grandfather's house is just an ordinary courtyard house, far from a luxury house.
If you don't look at the situation of the house, and in terms of market value alone, the grandfather's house can be regarded as a luxury house in the capital city where every inch of land is rich.
Not only this house, but every quadrangle courtyard located within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, one is counted as one, and in terms of market value, it is considered a luxury house!
As for how bad the house is, how bad the situation is, whether it can live in, it does not affect its value, who will let it be located in the second ring of the capital, this is the value.
The width of Lishi Hutong is not bad, there is no problem for vehicle traffic, and there is an open space not far in front of the grandfather's house, and parking is no problem, provided that there are not full cars there.
Under Ye Tian's instructions, the three vehicles drove into Lishi Hutong one after another, slowly driving towards the middle section of the Hutong.
Seeing the courtyard houses constantly appearing outside the car window, Betty said excitedly:
"Steven, this is what you call the Beijing Siheyuan. It looks really strange. Why are the windows of these houses facing the street so small? Will this not affect the lighting?
Also, why one can only see one wall when looking through the open courtyard gates and no other buildings? What is the reason? What's the point? "
Ye Tian can only answer the endless questions of this curious baby. Mom and Dad’s brains are a bit painful to be asked.
"Yes! This is what I call Beijing Siheyuan, one of the most distinctive traditional buildings in China, and one of Beijing's very famous features.
Beijing Siheyuan pays great attention to the protection of personal privacy. The windows facing the street are generally very small, but the doors and windows in the courtyard are very large, very bright, and there is no problem with lighting.
The wall in the gate is called the shadow wall. The purpose is to block the eyes of people on the street and protect the privacy of the owner of the yard from infringement. There are also some special features of Feng Shui.
When you arrive at your grandfather’s house, you can enter the courtyard and take a look at the situation inside. At that time, you will have a more specific understanding of the courtyard and you will like this kind of architecture! "
"I see. I am looking forward to seeing the whole picture of the Beijing Siheyuan, and even more looking forward to seeing your grandparents and other family members!"
Betty chuckled and nodded, her eyes full of expectation.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued emotionally:
"I grew up in an ordinary courtyard in front. This hutong is my playground and adventure park! I didn't move out from here until I was in junior high school.
This alley carries the memories of my entire childhood, full of joy and laughter, which is unforgettable. No matter where I go, this is my spiritual harbor and my home! "
"Listening to you, I want to know everything more here. This is your home, and it will also be my home in the future!"
Betty shook Ye Tian's hand lightly, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
Seeing the sensational performance of the two of them, the father and mother shivered together, but there was a gratifying smile on their faces.
After clearing up his emotions, Ye Tian whispered to Betty again.
"My dear, my grandparents live in the front courtyard. You will see them later. Do you remember the names and etiquette I taught you before?"
Betty nodded for sure and said triumphantly:
"Of course I remember! Isn't it just kneel down and kowtow and call grandparents? I have practiced in New York. Don't worry, there will be no problems!"
At the end, Betty said in broken Chinese:
"Grandpa and grandma, hello!"
How awkward to hear this though! Ye Tian gave a huge affirmation, smiled and nodded in approval:
"That's right! It's this taste, a lot better than the previous days!"
The parents who were in the car were completely stupid, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded, and at Betty who had just spoken out a lame Chinese sentence.
After a long while, the old couple woke up.
Immediately afterwards, they burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Xiaotian, what did your kid do to you? It's all about asking Betty to follow you as grandparents. Why does your kid kowtow?
Don't say she's a foreigner, even if we are Chinese, how many kowtows to the elders now? Few people kowtow during the Chinese New Year, why do you think of this? "
Dad laughed and asked curiously.
It's the same with my mother, she was a little puzzled while laughing.
Ye Tian didn't smile, but said to his mom and dad.
"Dad! Mom! Just leave it alone. This is my decision and a way for me to express my feelings. Not only will Betty kowtow, I'm also going to give my grandparents three noises!
You are all in Beijing, and you can see your grandparents at any time. The feelings may not be deep, but I am on the other side of the earth and I meet very few times. Shouldn't I knock my head a few times?
As long as my grandparents like it, I'm willing to knock as many as I want, and I'm full of joy. Betty is the one I plan to marry with, so she will knock her head with me."
Hearing these words, Mom and Dad fell silent, the smile on their faces disappeared, and their expressions became much more serious.
After a while, Dad said admiringly:
"This is a beautiful thing! You really should give your grandparents a few heads. This is an old gift, and you must not forget it. It is rare that you still have this heart! Good! Grandparents didn't talk about you for nothing!"
When Dad said this, Mom also nodded appreciatively, her eyes were a little moist.
While talking, the convoy had driven to the clearing not far in front of Grandpa's house.
Fortunately, there are still a few vacant parking spaces here, just in time for parking.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately instructed the driver to park the GMC commercial vehicle into the parking space, and the two Range Rover Range Rover at the back parked in two adjacent parking spaces.
The car quickly stopped and everyone got out of the car one after another.
But Ye Tian did not immediately take out the luggage from the car, but walked up to the two lawyers and smiled and said a few words to them.
After speaking, the two lawyers left here with their own things and documents, went to the alleyway to take a taxi home.
When leaving, both of them were very excited with big smiles on their faces.
There are a lot of lucrative commissions to earn, and whoever changes will be happy!
Next, several drivers arranged by the car rental company were also sent away by Ye Tian. If they need to be used, just call them to come over. There is no need to stay here.
I believe that within two days, Raymond and the others will be able to quickly master the Chinese traffic regulations, and then they will be able to drive fast in Beijing.
They all have an international driver’s license and have no problems on the road.
Besides, Ye Tian himself is an aboriginal in Beijing. He has a clear understanding of the road conditions in the city. These drivers are not needed at all, which will only increase some unnecessary hidden dangers.
While he was arranging these things, many people in the hutong had already seen them, and recognized him at a glance, and discussions followed.
"Lao Ye's grandson is back, he is the demon king who has become a billionaire who has been mixed up in New York, USA, and is constantly causing trouble!
My grandson showed me the online video of this kid, what is it called on the YouTube website, this kid is called a cruel, murderous like slaughtering a chicken, watching it makes people tremble! "
"Yes! The troublesome autumn is here! Fortunately, the eldest son and his family can't live here, otherwise you just watch, the whole Lishi Hutong will not be safe, even the rumors!"
While talking in a low voice, people stopped and looked at this side, full of curiosity.
Among them, as long as the old residents in this hutong know their father and Ye Tian, they are all greeting them.
"Brother Ye, I haven't seen you some days, come back to see your old man!"
"I haven't seen you for some days, soldier, how are you doing now? Isn't this my son coming back from abroad? Come and see the old man together"
"Xiaotian, your boy is doing well right now. We often hear from you in the country. It's awesome! Give us Beijing men a long face!"
"Uncle Liu~www.ltnovel.com~ It’s been a long time since I saw you, and his complexion is so good! Don’t praise me anymore. You know, I have had that problem since I was a child. !"
Ye Tian coughed and teased with these neighbors in the neighborhood, while carrying luggage under the car, very relaxed.
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tian and Betty’s luggage and two boxes with gifts were all moved down.
Raymond left their luggage in the car and took them directly to the hotel.
Later, Dad and Ye Tian bid farewell to the neighbors in the neighborhood, took Betty and the others, pushed their luggage, and walked to the grandpa's house 100 meters away.
At this moment, no one in the yard of Grandpa's house came out to greet him, not because everyone didn't pay attention to Ye Tian, but because everyone didn't know that Ye Tian had already entered the alley.
While on the road just now, my dad wanted to call his family to inform his family, but Ye Tian stopped him.
He wanted to surprise his grandparents and everyone in that yard.
Seeing them leaving behind, people talked more enthusiastically, and several even took out their mobile phones and started to notify other people in this alley.
While discussing, everyone's eyes, without exception, have a somewhat worried look.
There is a demon king in his alley, who can not worry?
