Chapter 217: The whole view of the courtyard
I arranged everything I could think of and then handed it over to Zhou Jing to handle.
Song Tang dismissed everyone and told them to go about their own business and not to stay by her side.
I put Song Da's head on the ground and let him play by himself, then took the three curious roommates to visit the entire yard.
You know, she had never been here since she and Zhou Jing came here once before. She was also very curious about some places.
Everyone has just seen the courtyard after entering the gate.
The grand vermilion gate and the screen wall inside the gate are worth seeing. There is a circle of houses in the yard, with a large open space. There is another big gate next to it that allows you to drive directly into the yard. Of course, there is also an entrance and exit to the underground garage.
From the front yard, you can walk around the hanging flower arches on both sides and enter the second courtyard.
The second courtyard is naturally the courtyard where Song Tang and her family’s main house is located.
In addition to Song Tang's main house, there are also east and west wing rooms on the left and right sides. The overall construction specifications of the houses in this courtyard are larger than those in other courtyards. You can tell at a glance that this is where the master family lives.
There are flowers and grass in the middle of the yard, but now it's winter and it's cold and they've all turned yellow.
There is a hanging flower arch on one side of the east and west wing rooms, and after the arch is the east and west courtyards.
The house on the west side of the courtyard seems to have been converted into a large kitchen and dining room. There are vine racks and pergolas, as well as stone tables and chairs in the yard. It seems to be a great place to cool off and barbecue in the summer.
As for the east courtyard on the other side, it is simple, with a few side rooms, a pond with flowers, plants and fish, and a small rockery pavilion. There is also an east side door on the east courtyard wall, and outside the door is East Street, which is only a few steps away from Nanluoguxiang.
The second and third courtyards are connected by corridors on both sides of the main house. The third courtyard is basically the same as the second courtyard. Both have a main house and east and west wing rooms, but the building specifications are lower than those of the second courtyard.
Song Tang and his three roommates went into every room in every courtyard and took a careful look.
Basically, they are all similar, with modern interior decoration style and modern appliances, making daily life very convenient.
Song Dabo had been following Song Tang and the others, running freely all over the ground. When he got here, he probably ran out of energy, so he climbed up along Song Tang's trouser legs.
Ye Jin and the others around him were staring at him with their eyelids throbbing. Song Tang's pants were worth tens of thousands of yuan each, but now Song Dabo was using them as a cat climbing frame, scratching them loudly.
Wherever it crawled, it left tiny nail holes, and some even dug out the threads.
Song Tang didn't care about these things. He reached out and picked up Song Datou who had already climbed up to his thigh. Fortunately, it was cold now and he was wearing thick clothes. If it was warm and he was only wearing a pair of pants, he would probably be grabbed by Song Datou.
The few of them walked and talked, bypassing the main house in the third courtyard and arriving at the fourth courtyard, which is the backyard.
The specifications of the houses here are similar to those in the front yard, and none of them are taller than the houses in the second and third courtyards.
In contrast to the front yard, the back house built against the courtyard wall in the front yard has become a back house against the back yard wall here.
There is an ancient well in the middle of the yard, and it seems that water can still be drawn from it.
In addition to the backyard's rear porch, some of the side rooms on the left and right sides have been converted into tool rooms, storage rooms, and the like. The gardener mentioned earlier lives in the backyard, and of course, two security guards also live here.
Behind the back room is an entire back garden with a rockery and a pavilion in the middle, as well as a huge koi pond. There are also many fruit trees around the courtyard wall, but Song Tang doesn't recognize most of them.
It was winter now, and the whole garden was yellowish, not much to look at. The only thing with some color was the persimmon trees, with some unpicked fruits on them like little lanterns.
At this point, Song Tang and his roommates had looked at the entire courtyard from beginning to end.
Of course, there are still some places that I haven't seen, such as the huge underground garage, the underground storage room, the wine cellar, and the basement in the main house.
After seeing all this, the few people who were already a little tired of visiting no longer had the mood to continue visiting. They carried Song Dabo directly back to the main room and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.
"Tangtang, why don't you come and live here?" Zhao Zihong, who was taking a break, asked the question that everyone was wondering.
Song Tang stroked the cat in his arms, thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the Siheyuan is not as convenient to live in as the large flat in Manhe. Especially in winter."
"Manhe's place is a big flat. In the winter, no matter which house I want to go to, I just walk around the house."
"It's different here in the courtyard. If I want to leave this main room and go to another room, I have to go out and pass through the courtyard."
"If I'm only wearing pajamas, I can run around at Manhe's place, but here I'll be freezing if I go out."
The other three people suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Song Tang had never mentioned the courtyard house. It turned out that she felt that it was not as comfortable to live here as in Manye's house in winter.
"Look, if we want to have a meal in Manhe, we can just go to the restaurant. If we want to have a meal here, we have to go out of the house and go to the west wing. Rainy and snowy weather is really frustrating." Song Tang's words were deeply agreed by the three people.
"That makes sense, it has to be you~" Zhao Zihong started to act funny again.
Song Tang put Song Da's head directly into Zhao Zihong's arms and let them fight among themselves.
"However, it should be nice to live in the Siheyuan in the summer. There are many places to do activities. And the Nanluoguxiang commercial area is not far away, so it is more convenient to have fun."
The other three were fascinated. Yes, this huge courtyard with a quiet environment in the middle of a bustling city is really wonderful in the summer.
…
After having dinner at the restaurant in the west courtyard, a few people strolled around the yard. Song Dabo was so bold that he climbed up a small tree in the yard. He didn't dare to come down and meowed at everyone in a hurry.
Zhao Zihong was tall, and smiled as he stepped forward and took it down. Song Tang poked its forehead and scolded, "We've installed a cat climbing frame here for you, but you insisted on climbing the tree. You're not capable and you're not going to save trouble."
Song Dabo was scolded so much that he kept burying his head in Zhao Zihong's arms, which made everyone laugh. No one expected that the one who saved the cat's life at the critical moment was Zhao Zihong, his enemy.
The group followed Zhao Zihong's advice and took a look around the underground garage. Inside the underground garage, where the lights suddenly lit up, a number of exaggerated supercars lay dormant, their bodies illuminated by the lights.
This is no longer just a garage; it's almost become a supercar show.
But everyone just came down to see the garage. They were already used to Song Tang's car.
However, the Apollo IE and Aston Martin Valkyrie were so unique in shape that several people couldn't help but take a few photos of them together with their cars.
In the wine cellar, the shelves are filled with all kinds of world-class precious red wines, including red wines from Song Tang’s own winery. The air in the entire underground wine cellar is filled with the smell of wine.
Of course, there is not only red wine here, but basically all kinds of wine and brands that can be named can be found.
Vodka, brandy, even liquor and champagne are all available.
After visiting all these, Song Tang and his three companions stayed in the main room tonight, including the naughty boy Song Da Nao Tou.
There is more than one bedroom in Song Tang’s huge main room.
