She doesn't know much about this place, but the Song family is different. They have been living in Beijing before, and their sources of information must be more than her.
Lu Fang's eyes flashed with surprise, "Do you like a yard like this?"
Gu Baozhu nodded, his eyes shining, "I like courtyards like this, Aunt Lu, Aunt Lu, why don't you help me see if anyone is willing to sell it nearby?"
She wants to buy one. Who would think that a courtyard house is too much?
Moreover, she is not short of money.
"Okay, I'll ask when the time comes."
Lu Fang was very happy, which meant that her daughter did not regard her as an outsider.
The old man listened nearby and directly interrupted the mother and daughter, "Buy whatever you want. Our Song family doesn't have much of anything, just a lot of houses. If you want a courtyard house, grandpa will give it to you. You don't have to buy it."
The old man looked proud, as if he had finally been able to use it.
"Our Song family was a wealthy family in the Xia Kingdom during the Republic of China. Our ancestors even had high-ranking officials. They bought a lot of real estate in Beijing and a lot of shops. However, after the liberation, a lot of it was handed over, but some of it was left behind.
There are several courtyard houses and many small Western-style houses. If you like them, grandpa will give them to you."
The old man thought for a while and then said, "If I remember correctly, our family also has three houses with three entrances next to the Forbidden City. If you want them, I will give them to you."
Gu Baozhu's mouth twitched, "Old man, you are so arrogant."
The courtyard next to the Forbidden City is a large house with three entrances, so it must be extremely expensive.
Even now, housing prices there are not cheap.
"Grandpa, I don't want it. You can leave that house to my eldest brother and the others. Whatever I want, I can buy it with my own money."
At this moment, her heart was bleeding.
But she also knew the value of this courtyard in future generations. It was definitely worth thousands of gold, and she could never accept it.
The old man was unhappy, "Give them whatever you want, let them earn it, and it will be reserved for my good granddaughter."
"It's not just you, there are pearls as well. Our old Song family values raising children from the poor and raising daughters from the rich. If I give it to you, take it, otherwise you don't regard me as your biological grandfather."
The old man had a fierce look on his face and insisted on her accepting it. If she didn't want to, he just didn't regard him as his biological grandfather.
Lu Fang and Song Xiangdong were also there to persuade them. It was hard for their daughter to get what she wanted, and their family was not short of it. Of course, she had to give it to her and transfer the ownership. The ownership transfer would be completed in a while.
"Baozhu, just accept it. Our family has returned a lot of real estate over the years. If you don't want it, keeping it would be a waste."
Gu Baozhu, with a black eye on his face, couldn't help but analyze the trend of housing prices for them.
Especially this kind of courtyard house with a strong cultural heritage, it is absolutely sky-high.
Who would have thought that they didn't care at all, they really embodied the word "Hao" vividly.
Even my sister-in-law, Tong Limei, was trying to persuade her, as if it was God's fault if she refused.
In the end, Gu Baozhu could only accept it reluctantly. She did not expect that the Song family would be so generous when they made the offer. She could not take advantage of it for nothing, she had to give some gift in return. This would have to wait until later.
Author: You reluctantly accepted the courtyard next to the Forbidden City. Why don’t you go to heaven? Don’t give it to me!
Gu Baozhu: Give it to you, give it to you, give it all to you!
Author Jun:......
Siheyuan is a characteristic of Beijing. Rich families in ancient feudal society were extravagant and could build three or four courtyards, which were connected from front to back.
Plant flowers, fruits and trees in the courtyard for viewing. The back wall of the wing room is the courtyard wall, and brick walls are built at the corners.
The large courtyard is surrounded by walls from the outside, with tall walls and no windows, showing a defensive nature.
No matter what the family does in the yard, outsiders cannot see it. This is in line with the habits of Xia people.
The courtyard houses are divided into rooms. The elderly live in the north room (upper room), with a large living room in the middle (nave room). The eldest son lives in the east wing, the second son lives in the west wing, the servants live in the opposite room, and the young lady and daughter live in the backyard.
Influence.
The Song family did not make their fortune only during the Republic of China; their ancestors were famous gentry several generations ago.
During the Republic of China, it was even more remarkable. It was the home of the richest man in the north, so the old house of the Song family was naturally not small.
The large house in Sanjin is roughly estimated to be more than 2,000 square meters, and it also has a small garden, which is really not small.
"Baozhu, there are many rooms in the old house. You can choose whatever you want. You can live wherever you want."
The old man waved his hand and was very generous to this newly recognized granddaughter.
Especially if the granddaughter looks very much like his deceased wife, it would be even more embarrassing.
Gu Baozhu was not polite and walked around before finally choosing his room.
When the Song family saw this, they were extremely happy.
They like that Baozhu is rude to them. The more Baozhu is rude to them, the more it shows that Baozhu approves of them in his heart.
Gu Baozhu stayed in the Song family's old house for one night. After breakfast the next morning, he said goodbye to the reluctant Song family and went to work in the physics laboratory.
She has not forgotten her half-modified electric car, and school will start in less than half a month.
She wants to speed up the progress and try to build the electric car before leaving.
After sending her to the scientific research institute, Song Xiangdong's family of three also drove back to the compound.
"Mingzhu!" As soon as Fu Zhi saw Song Mingzhu coming back, he rushed out without thinking.
God knows how worried he was yesterday.
When he was about to rush forward, he stopped suddenly, took a breath, and then said hello, "Uncle Song, hello Aunt Lu!"
Lu Fang nodded, with a flash of satisfaction in her eyes. Apparently, she became more and more satisfied with Fu Zhi as her son-in-law. She patted her daughter on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead."
It is no secret in the compound that their daughter was hugged by the wrong child.
They also knew that many people were talking about this matter behind their backs, but as long as it was not brought to the forefront and Mingzhu was not in front of Mingzhu to make irresponsible remarks, she was always unwilling to pay attention to it.
If they go too far and hurt Mingzhu, she will never be merciful.
She can be regarded as having watched Fu Zhi grow up. She is also friends with Fu Zhi's grandmother (Lu Fang and Mrs. Fu have been friends for many years, they are more than ten years apart, and will be introduced later.), and they have protected this little guy since he was a child.
Mingzhu, she is also happy to see the outcome of her two children.
Song Mingzhu's face turned red, she clenched her fists, and glared at someone with an angry look, but it was a pity that Fu Zhi didn't see it at all.
When Song Xiangdong and Lu Fang walked away, Fu Zhi couldn't wait to ask, "Mingzhu, how was yesterday?"
"That guy didn't bully you, did he?"
"I thought Jianye would go with you, but who knew that guy actually escaped and didn't dare to go? Are you okay?"
As a good friend of Song Jianye, Fu Zhi knew something about this.
He feels a little sorry for his good brother, but compared to his younger wife, he decisively chooses his younger daughter-in-law.
"No." Song Mingzhu seemed to have thought of something, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled cutely.
"Sister Baozhu is very nice and treats me very well. I like her."
