Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 813 Childhood Playground
In the voice of Ye Tian explaining the scenery along the way, the three cars drove through the bustling and noisy streets, and finally arrived at the intersection of Dongsi Lishi Hutong.
Lishi Hutong is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. It starts from Chaoyangmen South Street in the east and ends at Dongsi South Street in the west. There is a branch alley leading to Yanle Hutong and Dengcao Hutong in the south, and a branch alley leading to Qianguaibang Hutong in the north.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a market for selling donkeys and mules, and it was called "Lvshi Hutong". It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the livestock market was abolished here, and people cleverly renamed it "Lishi Hutong" according to the homonym.
The courtyard house of Grandpa Ye Tian's family is located in this ancient courtesy alley, not far from the filming location of the TV series and the mansion of the prefect of Wuchang in the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, these two sets of houses cannot be compared at all, the house of Grandpa Ye Tian's family is just an ordinary courtyard house, far from being a luxury house.
If you don't look at the condition of the house, but only in terms of market value, in the capital city where every inch of land is expensive, this house of grandfather's house can be regarded as a luxury house.
Not only this house, but all the courtyard houses located within the second ring road of the capital count as one. In terms of market value, they can all be considered luxury houses!
As for how bad those houses are, how bad they are, and whether they can be lived in, it doesn't affect their value. Who makes them located in the second ring road of the capital, this is the value.
The width of Lishi Hutong is not bad, there is no problem for vehicles to pass through, and there is an open space not far from the grandfather's house, so there is no problem for parking, provided that it is not full of cars.
Under Ye Tian's instructions, the three cars drove into Lishi Hutong one after another, and slowly drove towards the middle of the Hutong.
Seeing the courtyards constantly appearing outside the car window, Betty said excitedly:
"Steven, this is what you call a Beijing courtyard house. It looks really strange. Why are the windows facing the street in these houses so small? Will this not affect the lighting?
Also, why do you only see one wall and no other buildings when you look in from those open courtyard gates? What is the reason? What's the point? "
For this curious baby's endless questions, Ye Tian can only answer them. Parents' brains are a little hurt from being asked this time.
"That's right! This is what I call the Beijing Siheyuan, one of the most distinctive traditional buildings in China, and one of the very famous features of Beijing.
Beijing Siheyuan attaches great importance to the protection of personal privacy. The windows facing the street are generally very small, but the doors and windows inside the courtyard are very large, very bright, and there is no problem with lighting.
The wall inside the gate is called the shadow wall, and its purpose is to block the eyes of people on the street and protect the privacy of the owner of the yard from being violated.
When you arrive at Grandpa’s house, you can enter the courtyard house and see what’s inside, then you will have a more specific understanding of the courtyard house, and you will also like this kind of architecture! "
"I see, I am looking forward to seeing the whole picture of Beijing Siheyuan, and I am looking forward to seeing your grandparents, and other family members!"
Betty smiled and nodded, her eyes full of expectation.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued emotionally:
"I grew up in an ordinary courtyard house in front of me. This alley is my playground and adventure paradise! 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, and it is unforgettable. No matter where I go, this is my spiritual harbor and my home! "
"Hearing what you said, I want to know more about everything here. This is your home, and it will be my home in the future!"
Betty gently shook Ye Tian's hand, her eyes were filled with tenderness and sweetness.
Seeing the jaw-dropping sensational performance of the two of them, both parents shivered, but there were gratified smiles on their faces.
After clearing up his emotions, Ye Tian whispered a few words to Betty.
"Honey, my grandparents live in the courtyard in front,
You'll see them later, remember the salutation and etiquette I taught you earlier? "
Betty nodded affirmatively, and said triumphantly:
"Of course I remember! Isn't it just kneeling down and kowtow, calling grandpa and grandma! I practiced it in New York, don't worry, there will be no problems!"
At the end, Betty also said in broken Chinese:
"Grandpa, grandma, hello!"
No matter how you hear this, how awkward! But Ye Tian gave a huge affirmation, smiled and nodded in approval:
"That's right! That's the taste, it's much better than the previous days!"
The parents who were also in the car were completely dumbfounded, staring at Ye Tian and Betty who just uttered a bad Chinese sentence in dumbfounded.
It took a long time for the old couple to wake up.
Immediately afterwards, they burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, Xiaotian, what are you doing so badly? Just let Betty call you grandpa and grandma after you, why do you still let others kowtow?
Not to mention she is a foreigner, even if we are Chinese, how many of us still kowtow to our elders now? Few people kowtow during Chinese New Year holidays, why do you think of this happening? "
Dad laughed and asked curiously.
The same is true for my mother. While laughing, she was also a little puzzled.
Ye Tian didn't smile, but said seriously to his parents:
"Dad! Mom! Just leave it alone, this is my decision, and it's also a way of expressing my feelings. Not only will Betty kowtow, but I'm also going to give my grandparents three rings!
You are all in Beijing, you can see your grandparents at any time, you may not have deep feelings, but I am on the other side of the world, and the number of times I meet is very small, shouldn’t it be a few kowtows?
As long as my grandparents like it, I am willing to kowtow as many times as I want, and I am full of joy. Betty is the one I am going to marry, so I let her kowtow with me."
Hearing these words, Mom and Dad fell silent immediately, the smile on their faces disappeared, and their expressions became much more serious.
After a short pause, Dad said appreciatively:
"It's a beautiful job! You really should give your grandparents a good kowtow. This is an old gift. Don't forget it. It's rare that you have such a heart! Not bad! Grandpa and grandma didn't talk about you for nothing!"
When my father said this, my mother also nodded in appreciation, and her eyes were a little moist.
While speaking, the convoy had already driven to the open space not far from the grandfather's house.
Luckily, there are still a few vacant spaces, just in time to park.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately instructed the driver to park the GMC commercial vehicle in the parking space, and the two Range Rover behind him were parked in two adjacent parking spaces.
The car stopped quickly, and everyone got out of the car one after another.
But Ye Tian didn't take out the luggage from the car immediately, but walked up to the two lawyers, smiled and said a few words to them.
After speaking, the two lawyers took their belongings and documents and left here, went to the Hutongkou to take a taxi and went home.
When they left, they both had big smiles on their faces and were very excited.
There are huge and lucrative commissions to be earned, and everyone will smile!
Next, several drivers arranged by the car rental company were also sent away by Ye Tian. If you need them, 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 grasp the Chinese traffic regulations, and then they can drive around Beijing.
They all have international driver's licenses and have no problem getting on the road.
Besides, Ye Tian himself is a native of Beijing, and he knows the road conditions in the city, so he doesn't need these drivers at all, and it will only increase some unnecessary hidden dangers.
While he was arranging these things, many people in the alley had already seen them and recognized him at a glance, and discussions ensued.
"Lao Ye's eldest grandson is back, he is the devil king who became a billionaire and keeps causing trouble in New York, USA!
My grandson showed me the online video of this kid, what is it called on Youtube website, this kid is so ruthless, killing people is like slaughtering chickens, watching it makes people's liver tremble! "
"Okay! The troubled season is here! Fortunately, Ye's eldest son's family doesn't live here, otherwise you just watch, the whole Lishi Hutong will be unsafe, and there will be even panic!"
While discussing in low voices, people stopped and looked at this side, eyes full of curiosity.
Among them, as long as they are old residents of this alley, they all know Dad and Ye Tian, and they all greet them.
"Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a while, come back to see your old man!"
"I haven't seen you for a while, Junzi, how are you doing now? Isn't this son back from abroad? Let's come and see the old man together"
"Xiao Tian, you're doing well now, we hear about you all the time in China, you're so awesome! Let us Beijing men look good!"
"Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look so good! Please don't praise me again. You know that I have had that problem since I was a child. When I praise, I become proud. Once I am proud, I can't find my way!"
Ye Tian laughed and coughed with these neighbors, while carrying luggage under the car, very relaxed.
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tian and Betty's luggage, as well as the two boxes containing presents, all moved down.
Raymond and the others left their luggage in the car and took them directly to the hotel in a while.
Afterwards, Dad and Ye Tian bid farewell to the neighbors in the neighborhood, took Betty and the others, pushed their luggage, and walked to grandpa's house 100 meters away.
At this time, no one came out to greet Ye Tian in the courtyard of the grandfather's house, not because everyone didn't pay attention to Ye Tian, but because everyone didn't know that Ye Tian had already entered the alley.
When he was on the road just now, 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 their leaving backs, the discussion became more lively. Several even took out their mobile phones and started notifying other people in this alley.
While discussing, there was a bit of worry in everyone's eyes without exception.
Who wouldn't be worried that a demon king came into his alley?
