Sure enough, Song Da came to report the news at noon and made an appointment with the other party to meet at the gate of the courtyard at two o'clock this afternoon.
Song Jin arrived on time in the afternoon. Song Da and another thin young man were standing and talking at the street corner. When he saw Song Jin, Song Da introduced the two to each other.
The young man said his name was Monkey and he was here to show them the house on behalf of his cousin.
Song Jin knew that this man couldn't make the decision, so he didn't say much and asked him to take him to see the house first.
Her house is said to be a small courtyard house, but in fact it is not a proper old courtyard house. At most, it is a large courtyard with rooms on all four sides, which cannot be compared with a proper courtyard house.
So she still longs to own a courtyard house of her own.
Song Jin followed the two of them towards the house.
The courtyard is located on Chang'an Avenue, one of the main transportation arteries connecting the east and west cities of Beijing. The sidewalks on both sides of the road are lined with lush Sophora japonica trees and shaded by green trees, making it a beautiful and quiet street.
When you enter the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is three steps. The ancients, who were very particular about architecture, believed that the three steps could symbolize three consecutive ascensions.
There is a screen wall at the entrance of the main gate and a screen wall at the entrance of the second gate. Both the screen wall and the screen wall are engraved with patterns of various shapes. There is a stone drum below the lintel and carvings above the lintel.
The main room is slightly higher than the wing rooms. Entering the main room, you will see tall and majestic crossbeams, five-beam beams, and wooden lookout boards, which make it feel cool and pleasant even in the hot summer. The cloud-shaped and Pisces-shaped carved patterns symbolize good luck and happiness, and abundance every year.
A siheyuan is a courtyard shaped like a U, formed by the main house, the south wing (back of the house), the east wing, and the west wing. Each brick and tile evokes a sense of time, revealing the charm of the old city.
The yard can have the scenery of "flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter".
You can have the mentality of "smiling at the light wind and thin clouds, and leisurely listening to the quiet flowers and birds singing".
Living in a courtyard is a poetic and artistic life.
Perhaps the beauty of the courtyard house, as described in the poem, is elegant and unconventional, a world of its own, full of wisdom and attitude towards life.
The courtyard's overall design exudes an antique charm, with its ancient trees and cobblestone paths highlighting the elegant simplicity of home living. The refined beauty of the East is embodied in this courtyard.
The courtyard design allows for a clear view of its privacy and tranquility. The seemingly random greenery and gravel paths, set against a tranquil backdrop, unbridled expression of the beauty of Eastern culture.
The interior design exudes a sense of leisure. Large areas of white, elegant walls, complemented by lighting, create a gentle and stylish atmosphere.
The five-story house has been preserved so well. It seems that both the original owner and the later owner have taken good care of it.
Song Jin took a walk and returned to the yard. She was very satisfied with everything.
Standing in the yard, looking at the grass and trees, I suddenly felt very emotional.
In the courtyard, she felt the breath of nature and the unique charm of Chinese courtyards, where architecture, flowers and plants are integrated into one.
It is so quiet here that you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can forget all the complicated things and just enjoy the sky that belongs to you.
The courtyard is deep, and the flowers in front of the hall bloom and fall several times; the years are like a song, and the clouds roll and unfold on the eaves again.
The quiet and narrow alleys are full of traces of wind erosion, and the layers of tiles are polished with marks of rain and snow. The blue bricks, gray tiles, green windows and red doors exude the breath of time.
These courtyards must hold the memories of generations.
The courtyards, alleys and wisps of smoke are filled with the joy of life.
Here you can find both the tranquility of life and the mundane affairs of life.
The strong oriental ancient charm of "How deep is the courtyard" is overflowing in every corner of the quadrangle courtyard, silently making Song Jin unforgettable and yearning for it.
Without further hesitation, she turned to look at the monkey: "How much?"
The monkey behaved almost the same as Grandma Song along the way. It seemed that this was also his first time entering the Grand View Garden.
When he heard Song Jin ask him, he looked away, scratched his head and said, "My cousin said fifty thousand, no bargaining."
Song Jin calculated the price in her mind. Although she felt that fifty thousand yuan was a bargain compared to this large courtyard house with five entrances, she still had to bargain.
Although they said no bargaining.
However, before she could open her mouth, the other party seemed to see through her intention.
He raised his hand and said, "My cousin said fifty thousand, no bargaining. If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he wouldn't even sell it for a hundred thousand. That's why he didn't come. Hehe, because I don't have the final say. Don't bargain with me."
Song Brocade...
"Okay, then did your cousin tell you that all the furniture isn't included? Also, when can we complete the paperwork? Will you still be the one to handle it, or will he come in person?"
Monkey didn't expect that the young girl in front of him was so courageous and rich. She could actually afford 50,000 yuan.
"My cousin said that the package price is 50,000 yuan, and nothing inside is touched, so there is no bargaining. If you are sure you can come up with the cash, he can take you to complete the formalities at any time."
"Then go contact him. It's probably too late today. Maybe tomorrow morning."
The monkey ran away happily. Although the house was good and many people came to see it, they all wanted to bargain for the price or get some other advantage. The boss thought those people were annoying and refused them all.
Fortunately, this little girl is straightforward enough.
The next day, Monkey came with a man in his thirties. Song Jin felt at first sight that this man might not be simple.
If she also wanted to be in the black market, she would definitely want to make some friends, but she had no worries about food and drink, and even less about money, so naturally she had no idea of taking risks in the black market.
After saying hello to the other party, several people went together to handle the formalities.
Although house buying and selling was not allowed in that era, transfers between relatives were possible, and it was obvious that they had found someone in advance. As soon as Monkey entered, he greeted an older sister warmly.
Song Jin noticed with his sharp eyes that the elder sister took something and put it into her pocket, then she processed the procedures for them with a smile on her face, without a single word of nonsense during the whole process.
After coming out, the other party raised an eyebrow and looked at Song Jin. Song Jin took people to the entrance of an alley and asked them to wait for a moment. She went in alone and came out again, holding a large handbag in her hand.
There was no other way. The largest denomination these days was the Great Unity 10 yuan note. Fifty thousand yuan, and it had to be in cash. She counted them for a long time in her space last night.
Fortunately, when I was taking boxes from those stores before, I finally sorted out several boxes of big unity, all of which were placed in bundles.
She counted them and found that one bundle was worth one thousand yuan, so she counted out fifty bundles.
She took the house deed and the other party took the handbag, and the money and the house were settled.
She finally owned a courtyard house of her own in the true sense.
