Chapter 429: Oh my god, a three-entry courtyard!

noon.

The old residence of the Pei family in Beijing.

After lunch, while sitting in the yard drinking tea, Deng Shirong discussed the wedding banquet with Pei's father and mother.

"Relative, how many guests do you have coming to attend your wedding?" Deng Shirong asked after taking a sip of tea.

As the organizer of the wedding, he must of course know how many guests will come from the bride's side so that he can arrange the banquet in advance.

Upon hearing this, Pei's father and mother began to estimate on the spot.

Three minutes later, Father Pei said, "I have about three tables of guests here."

Deng Shirong nodded, and then continued to ask: "Dear relative, among these guests, are there any guests whose tastes need special care? Or what kind of cuisine do these guests like to eat?"

Father Pei smiled and said, "Not all of the guests I invited are from Beijing. Several of them are from different provinces. It is very troublesome to cater to the tastes of all the guests. So, my dear, you don't have to worry about this. Just arrange some dishes."

Deng Shirong pondered and said, "Then we will mainly serve our hometown dishes, and then arrange some signature dishes from other cuisines. At least we can ensure that there is at least one dish that suits the taste of the guests attending the wedding."

Mother Pei continued, "Relative, is this too much trouble?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We just need to hire two more chefs. I'll take care of the details."

After hearing this, Pei's father and mother said nothing more. Since the in-laws were willing to make the wedding better, they were naturally happy to see it happen.

After discussing the wedding banquet, Pei's mother asked, "Relatives, where is the wedding room you prepared for them? I'm afraid I need to ask for an address first, which will be used when I write invitations to the guests."

Deng Shirong reported the address of the courtyard house, and then said, "Now that everyone has nothing to do, why don't we go and see their wedding room together? Is there anything else you want to add about the decoration and furniture?"

Mother Pei glanced at her husband, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."

So, led by Deng Shirong, the group headed straight to the courtyard.

…

An hour later.

Deng Shirong and others came to this newly renovated courtyard.

After entering the door, Pei's father and mother showed satisfied expressions. It seems that their guess was correct. The wedding room prepared by the future in-laws for their son was indeed a courtyard house with two entrances.

At this time, this courtyard house had been repaired and refurbished, and modern household appliances were incorporated into the decoration, as well as various beautiful flowers, plants and trees. It looked much more beautiful than their old Pei family house, and Pei's mother couldn't help but become more and more satisfied the more she looked at it.

Pei Qinghua was also watching intently. In fact, when the house was still being renovated, Deng Yunsong had told her to come over and take a look and give some suggestions.

But even though the two of them were dating and their parents had met to discuss their marriage, the wedding date had not been set yet. And even if the date was set, she couldn't really go and give suggestions while the man was decorating the house.

Because every construction step in the decoration involves money, she would feel embarrassed if the other party spent more money because of her suggestion. In addition, she didn't know much about decoration, so she rejected Deng Yunsong's suggestion and did not come to see the house.

Now that the couple’s wedding date has been set and the house has been renovated, their mood will naturally be different when they come to see it again.

As for Pei's father, given his status and position, he certainly wouldn't care about these things, but it was naturally a good thing that his daughter's husband's family was well-off.

Soon, Mother Pei saw the hallway leading to the backyard and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This... is this a quadrangle with three entrances?"

Upon hearing this, Pei's father and Pei Qinghua also looked over and showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Although there is only one word difference between the second courtyard and the third courtyard, the gap between them is still quite large.

In the old days, the first and second courtyards were the residences of ordinary people. People who lived in the second courtyard were at most slightly richer than those who lived in the first courtyard, but that was all. The third courtyard was the most typical and standard Siheyuan, which was a qualitative change compared to the first and second courtyards. Those who were qualified to live in the third courtyard were wealthy and powerful families with official positions and status.

Of course, today things are not as sophisticated as they were in the old days, nor are the hierarchies as strict as they were in the old days, but the price of a three-courtyard house is still far beyond the reach of a one- or two-courtyard house.

Precisely because the three-courtyard house is very expensive, the three members of the Pei family showed surprised expressions when they saw that it was a three-courtyard house. They really did not expect that the Deng family would be so generous and bought this three-courtyard courtyard in Beijing several years ago.

It seems that the Deng family is richer than they imagined.

At this moment, Pei's father and mother began to re-evaluate the Deng family's financial resources in their hearts.

It's a long story, but it only took a moment. Hearing Pei's mother's exclamation, Deng Shirong smiled and replied, "Yes, it's the third courtyard. It's not far from where your relatives live, or from the workplace of the young couple. Giving it to them can be regarded as making the best use of it!"

Mother Pei was extremely satisfied, with a smile on her face.

Although she had agreed to her daughter's marriage after learning that the prospective son-in-law's second brother had reached the rank of deputy director and had a father-in-law of a relatively high rank, she was even more happy now that she found out that the prospective son-in-law not only had a powerful second brother, but also his family's financial resources were better than she had imagined.

It took about ten minutes for the Pei family's three members to finally finish touring the three-in-one courtyard.

Throughout the viewing process, Pei's mother was filled with admiration.

This three-courtyard house was originally better than the two-courtyard house in the Pei family's old house. In addition, Deng Shirong was willing to spend money on decoration, so it is naturally very attractive.

After touring the house, Pei Qinghua lowered his voice and said, "Section Chief Deng (my cousin mentioned the problem of addressing before. Different addresses and different contexts express different meanings). You are really good at hiding things. The house is a three-story courtyard. You didn't tell me?"

Deng Yunsong said innocently, "Chief Pei, please be reasonable when you speak. I invited you to come and see the decoration of the house before, but you refused."

Pei Qinghua said coquettishly: "That's because you didn't explain it to me clearly. If you said the house was a quadrangle with three entrances, I would definitely come over to take a look."

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "Okay, it's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. But anyway, what do you think of this house? Are you satisfied with it?"

Pei Qinghua rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are asking even though you already know the answer. How many people in the entire capital dare not take the three-entry quadrangle courtyard seriously?"

As the daughter of a high-ranking official, she had naturally seen mansions of kings, princes, generals and ministers with five or seven courtyards. Compared with these mansions, the three-courtyard courtyard was naturally not on the same level. However, in today's capital, most of the old mansions of kings, princes, generals and ministers have been confiscated, and only a handful of them are left in private hands.

Therefore, for private individuals, a courtyard house with three entrances is already a very good house.

Seeing that his future father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were all satisfied with the house, Deng Yunsong was happy and proud to have such a father.

He knew that the supermarket chain run by his elder brother had an annual profit of more than 13 million.

Although the second sister is not as successful as the eldest brother, her hotpot chain restaurant has an annual profit of two to three million.

My eldest sister and Xiaohua also have their own careers.

And all this is thanks to their father. Without their father, how could they, the brothers and sisters, be as successful as they are today?

…

After touring the courtyard, Deng Shirong asked, "Dear relatives, do you think there is anything else you want to buy here?"

Mother Pei smiled and said, "We already have everything we need, so why would we need to buy anything else?"

Father Pei also nodded and said, "All kinds of facilities are available. Living here is more comfortable than living in a building. There is really no need to buy anything else."

Deng Shirong looked at Pei Qinghua and asked with a smile: "Xiao Pei, if you need anything, just tell your uncle and he will buy it for you one by one. We are all family, so don't be polite!"

Pei Qinghua said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, uncle, but my parents are right, there is really nothing missing here."

"That's it for now. It won't be too late to buy more if you need it later."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at the time and said with a smile: "Dear relatives, this place is not too far from where you live. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, stay here. I will go buy some vegetables and come back to cook for you to taste my cooking skills."

Upon hearing this, Mother Pei quickly said, "What are you talking about, relative? You came all the way from Guangxi to the capital, how can we let you cook for us?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite."

Deng Yunsong smiled and continued, "Yes, auntie, my father's cooking skills are very good. Everyone who has tasted it praises it. The beef brisket, beef brisket and canned spicy crab we ate before were all made by my father himself. I haven't eaten his cooking for a while, and I'm craving for it!"

Pei's father and mother politely declined a few times before agreeing.

So Deng Shirong went out for a walk and came back with a lot of vegetables.

Because coal is burned here, the firepower cannot compare to firewood, so the dishes Deng Shirong chooses to cook are mainly stewing, braising, and boiling, and those dishes that require high heat stir-frying are not considered.

Despite the limited conditions, as an excellent chef, Deng Shirong naturally knew how to make use of the existing conditions and give full play to his culinary skills. He made several delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste, which won the praises of Pei's father, mother and Pei Qinghua.

After the meal, they sat down to drink some tea before Father Pei stood up and said goodbye, "Dear relative, it's getting late, so we'll go back first."

Deng Shirong also stood up and said, "Well, you all have your own work to do, so I won't keep you here!"

Mother Pei looked at her daughter and said, "Qinghua, are you going home with us, or going back to work with Xiaosong?"

Pei Qinghua said: "I'd better go back to work with Brother Song, so as not to be late for work tomorrow."

"Be careful on the road."

Mother Pei gave some instructions, then looked at Deng Shirong and said, "Relatives, we will go back first!"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Okay, take care!"

"Dad, Qinghua and I will go back to work first!"

"Well, go ahead!"

"Goodbye, uncle."

"goodbye!"

…

The next day, Deng Shirong began to inspect the remaining six courtyards.

This time, the renovation of the courtyard house was not only for the third son, but also for the other six.

And this decoration team was also very capable. They started the decoration of seven courtyard houses at the same time. However, according to the request of the boss Deng Shirong, the decoration efforts were focused on Deng Yunsong's courtyard house first. This made the decoration progress of this courtyard house faster than the other six courtyard houses.

Now the decoration of the remaining six courtyard houses has been mostly completed. It is expected that these six courtyard houses will be completed successfully before the wedding of the third son.

This made Deng Shirong very satisfied. Since all the courtyard houses had been taken out, he naturally would no longer hide them. He planned to take out the remaining six courtyard houses and divide them among his other children when his third son got married and all his children gathered in the capital.

The reason why I bought this courtyard house was to leave some security for my seven children. Even if their business fails, with this courtyard house with three entrances, they can easily become billionaires in the future.

However, this is a different time now. Now their family is developing smoothly, and he has led the whole family to create the giant Deng Group. In addition, he has got enough good things from his big brother. The courtyard house left as a backup is nothing. The family treasure house he envisioned is the real guarantee for future generations.

This time when he went to Beijing, after setting the wedding date for his third son, Deng Shirong did not stay long and returned after only a few days.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for the festive decoration of the wedding room, it is not too late to do it when the wedding date is closer.

…

When Deng Shirong returned from the capital, he received news that his youngest daughter was pregnant.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong's two daughters both gave birth to several children. Because the sisters both married poorly, they did not have much nutrition to replenish their bodies from pregnancy to childbirth, which led to severe physical damage. In addition, after they got married, they had to do hard work, which made them age very quickly.

Before Deng Shirong was reborn, both daughters looked a little old.

Deng Shirong realized these problems only in his later years. To be precise, it was after he read countless online novels and absorbed countless knowledge that he understood these things. Unfortunately, it was too late at that time, and the physical damage to his two daughters could not be repaired.

Because he knew the importance of pregnancy and childbirth to women, after Deng Shirong was reborn, he started to nourish both his daughter-in-law and daughter from the beginning of their pregnancy, and after the children were born, they had to be nourished intensively.

And the effect is obvious.

Whether it was the eldest daughter-in-law who gave birth to two children, or the eldest daughter and second daughter-in-law who each gave birth to one child, their bodies recovered very well, and the damage caused by childbirth had little impact on them.

Now that his youngest daughter is pregnant, Deng Shirong also takes it very seriously. He called his in-laws directly and sent his fourth son to Guangzhou to bring his youngest daughter back to take care of the pregnancy.

At the same time, Deng Shirong returned to his hometown of Bobai and purchased a batch of local chickens from various towns and villages.

In the past few years, Deng Shirong has been purchasing many local chickens. With this wave of acquisitions, the number of local chickens he has in the system space has exceeded 100,000.

Chicken is good for replenishing your vitality, especially the free-range chickens in the countryside. The nourishing effect of these chickens is unmatched by those raised on feed.

In later generations, many experts made comments, which simply meant that the nutritional value of free-range chickens and feed chickens is the same, and the same is true for eggs.

Anyone who believes these words is really stupid.

The free-range chickens in the countryside are far superior to those fed with feed in terms of both taste and nutrition.

The reason why Deng Shirong is buying so much now is naturally to ensure that people in the future can still eat free-range chickens raised in the countryside.

Although there were free-range chickens in the countryside in later generations, their numbers were relatively small, and most of the free-range chickens in later generations were not as good as those today.

Because many native chickens in later generations are directly bought from chicks and raised here. These chicks are most likely hatched from eggs laid by feed chickens, and then raised for a year using the native chicken farming method. The taste is indeed very good, which is incomparable to that of feed chickens.

However, this kind of local chicken is still quite different from the local chickens of today.

Because the native chickens nowadays are all hatched from native chicken eggs, their ancestors have been native chickens for generations, and they are inherently better than the native chickens hatched from eggs of feed chickens.

It was for this reason that Deng Shirong purchased these native chickens in advance, so that even if he had money in the future, he would not be able to buy native chickens with such pure bloodlines.

While buying the native chickens, Deng Shirong also told his relatives and a few clan members about his third son's marriage.

Needless to say, all the relatives were invited, but Deng Shirong, a clan member, only invited a few. It was not because he did not want to invite more, but the wedding venue was far away in Beijing, and it was really not easy to make a round trip. After all, a letter of introduction is still required to take a plane, and the country will not abolish this rule until next year.

There is really no need to attend a wedding and make others go through the hassle of going back and forth.

Therefore, Deng Shirong only invited a few villagers with whom he had a good relationship, and ignored the others.

…

afternoon.

Sui Feng Hotel.

Deng Shirong was drinking and chatting with Zhang Guangzong.

When the restaurant first opened, Deng Shirong invited old man Zhang Guangzong to come over and provide him with delicious food and drinks every day. The main purpose was to ask him to protect the restaurant and prevent those bad guys in society from disturbing his business.

The purpose was obviously achieved. Since the opening of Suifeng Hotel, no one has ever dared to cause trouble here.

After spending some years together, drinking and chatting every day, Deng Shirong and Zhang Guangzong had already become true friends.

For his third son's wedding, in addition to his own relatives and a few clansmen he was on good terms with, Deng Shirong also planned to invite a few friends, and Zhang Guangzong was one of them.

Therefore, after chatting for a while, Deng Shirong said, "Uncle Zhang, I have something to tell you. On May 14, my son Yunsong is getting married. The wedding will be held in the capital, and I want to invite you to attend the wedding."

"Time flies by so fast. A few years ago, Xiaosong was still studying in Bobai, and now he's getting married!"

Zhang Guangzong sighed, and then asked, "Uncle Jiu, where is Xiaosong's partner from?"

Deng Shirong said, "His partner is from Beijing and is also his colleague. The reason why we chose to hold the wedding in Beijing is that my Xiaosong is busy with work and can't spare enough time to go back to his hometown to hold the wedding. Secondly, it is also to accommodate the woman."

Zhang Guangzong nodded and said, "It is indeed much easier to hold a wedding in the capital."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you will go with my Ah Zhen and the others. Master Zhang will also go with us. Because I plan to serve our Bobai hometown dishes at this wedding, I have to bring Master Zhang along."

Zhang Guangzong said with a rosy face, "Okay, I haven't been out for a long time, especially the capital. This time I will take advantage of Xiaosong's help and go to the capital to take a walk and have a look."

…

The next day.

Deng Shirong came to County Magistrate Song’s office in person.

After greeting each other, Deng Shirong took out an invitation and handed it over, saying, "Brother Song, my son Xiaosong is getting married on May 14th, and I sent you an invitation specially."

"Then congratulations to Uncle Nine first!"

County Magistrate Song took the invitation with a smile, opened it and looked at it. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Holding the wedding in the capital?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Well, the woman is from Beijing, and the couple both work in Beijing, so holding the wedding in Beijing will be much more convenient and will not affect their work."

"If there is no emergency, I will definitely make time to go to the capital to attend the wedding."

"Thank you. If Brother Song can spare some time, please go with my daughter and son-in-law!"

…

In the following days, Deng Shirong prepared delicious food for his youngest daughter while preparing for his third son's wedding.

Time passed unknowingly and it was already the fifth month of the lunar calendar. There was less than half a month left until his third son's wedding, so Deng Shirong naturally had to leave for the capital in advance to make preparations.

Firstly, he needed to decorate the courtyard. As for how to do it, he had already discussed it with Director Huang of the Architectural Design Institute, and asked Director Huang to draw him a rendering. Then he could follow the same pattern and decorate the courtyard to make it festive and full of ancient charm.

Secondly, we need to invite a few chefs who are good at making various cuisines.

Thirdly, the other six courtyard houses had already been renovated, and he had to inspect them one by one.

Therefore, after arriving in the capital, Deng Shirong became busy.

The first thing was to inspect the courtyard house. This was the simplest way and just involved visiting a few more places. After the inspection, Deng Shirong paid the balance to this very reliable decoration team.

The next step was to hire a chef, which was also not difficult. As long as one had money, one could hire a chef anywhere. Deng Shirong only took one day to solve the problem.

A little more complicated is the festive arrangement of the courtyard house.

However, with the reference of the renderings and the magical power of the system space, Deng Shirong could do the work of at least a hundred people in the layout, so it only took him one day to complete the layout of the courtyard.

Of course, Deng Shirong temporarily stored all the colorful flowers used for decoration in the space, preparing to take them out on the wedding day, so that they can remain freshest and most beautiful.

At this point, everything is ready.

…

PS: I was interrogated again. It was just a simple sentence. I was speechless.
