The couple made a living in the 1950s.

When Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye saw Wang Laidie coming, they looked at each other tacitly.

"Laidi, sit down and have some tea."

"Ah."

Wang Laidie picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea.

Then he smiled and spoke.

"Auntie Yu, the owner of the courtyard house next to ours just came back from the countryside."

"Now I am anxious to go abroad to live with my relatives and want to sell the yard."

"It's the courtyard next door, No. 21 Yandaixie Street?"

"Correct."

When Lin Hanyu heard what Wang Laidie said, she thought that the area and layout of the courtyard No. 21 next door were almost the same as the courtyard where they lived now.

After pondering for a while, he asked what he wanted to ask.

"Laidi, our No. 20 Courtyard and the No. 21 Courtyard next door are both five-courtyard quadrangles with east-west cross courtyards."

"There's nothing special about this, but the room is really too big and doesn't conform to the traditional courtyard regulations."

Wang Laidie suddenly felt a little heavy.

"Auntie Yu, you don't have to worry about anything fishy going on here."

"These two courtyards were somehow burned down when the British and French allied forces occupied Beijing and burned down the Old Summer Palace."

"There are rumors that this was the prince's villa at the time, and the British and French coalition forces secretly set it on fire."

"Everyone has always said that these two courtyards are the prince's villas, and the housing management office also recorded them as the prince's (name unknown) villa."

"It's probably because it has five courtyards and two east and west courtyards."

“In fact, the new government was established after a careful census.”

"After these two courtyards were burned down, the previous dynasty's rulers allocated them to the two princes to build separate courtyards."

"The royal family of the previous dynasty built courtyards according to their ranks, and the other courtyards cannot go beyond the rules."

“It’s just that when they build houses, they leave open space around them.”

“Wait until it is sealed before expanding.”

"Later, the two princes sold their villas before they were given titles."

“At that time, the space left inside the high walls of the Beile Mansion was still vacant.”

"The owners of these two courtyards changed one after another until the Republic of China period."

“Who still cares about the previous dynasty’s house-building regulations?”

"Each owner of the house built a few houses on the vacant land, and the houses built according to the regulations of the Beile Mansion in the previous dynasty were also demolished and rebuilt."

"Gradually it became the two courtyards like now."

“These things were recorded by the government during the housing census after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

"The property certificates for Courtyard No. 21 next to it are also complete."

“Sales and transfers can be processed at any time.”

"only……"

"After hearing what she said about the house, Lin Yuyu had already thought about buying it as long as the price was not outrageous."

"Now, I'm afraid there is no third courtyard house of this size and specifications in the entire Beijing city."

"Its location is just right. It will be the perfect place for their family to live in Beijing."

She saw that Wang Lai Di seemed to have something to hide, and looked at her with a smile.

"Is it that the tenant inside hasn't moved out yet?"

"Well, the landlord went to talk to him once."

"No one has moved by the time, and the landlord is a little anxious to go abroad."

"Ah."

"Laidi, how much does the landlord want?"

Wang Lai Di looked a little embarrassed.

"Auntie Yu, he wants 12 large yellow croakers."

The current transaction price of a courtyard house in Beijing is between 8000 yuan and yuan.

Most of the courtyards have one, two or three courtyards.

At present, the price of gold is about 20 yuan per gram, and the yellow croaker weighs 312.5 grams.

12 large yellow croakers cost RMB .

The adjacent Courtyard No. 21 also has five courtyards with east-west extensions.

It is really worthwhile to be able to buy three five-courtyard houses with RMB.

Considering the special regulated area of ​​this courtyard house, they are buying a courtyard house covering an area of ​​5625 square meters with yuan.

Lin Hanyu calculated these quickly in his mind.

If this courtyard house was in the hands of one person, it would be divided into a slum.

In a few years, it will be spectacular in the entire Xicheng District.

"Laidi, help aunt to make an appointment with the landlord."

"Auntie Yu, the landlord said before that he can come and see the house anytime."

"So we're going to watch it today?"

"Ah good."

When Wang Laidie walked out of the Bai family's courtyard, she still felt that her body was light and unreal.

She always knew that the Bai family was rich, but she never thought that they could just give away 12 large yellow croakers.

On the other side, Lin Manyu and Bai Ye looked at their eldest son who was sitting on the sofa and smiling.

Too lazy to even look at him, the two of them turned around and went upstairs to change clothes.

The three children in the family learned calligraphy, Chinese painting, Go, tea ceremony and martial arts since childhood.

They use "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child" for enlightenment, and their bedtime stories are ancient books such as "Zizhi Tongjian", "Strategies of the Warring States" and "The Art of War".

At that time, everyone was learning new things, and few people would stick to the old rules.

When their three children grew up, they had no doubts about their family.

She and A Ye didn't believe it.

When Wang Lai Di brought the landlord over, Lin Han Yu and Bai Ye were already waiting at the gate of Yard No. 21.

They saw from afar a tall and thin man walking beside Wang Lai Di.

When they came closer, they could see the elegant temperament hidden beneath the man's vicissitudes of life.

Still, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye easily caught it.

"My surname is Lu. What's your surname?"

"Your surname is Bai."

Bai Ye shook hands with the landlord, and everyone walked into the yard together.

Seeing that the landlord handled things efficiently, Lin Hanyu also felt relaxed.

There are many people living in Courtyard No. 21.

Many small houses have been built on the vacant land next to many houses.

The neat and tidy courtyard house became messy due to the additions made by the tenants.

However, this does not affect Lin Manyu's good mood at all.

This yard, except for the east wing, has no small garden behind it but the fourth courtyard and the back house.

All other specifications and layout and area are the same as those of Courtyard No. 20 where he lives now.

From the moment they entered the courtyard, the residents who saw them looked over here intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye didn't care, even though they didn't live in the same yard for years.

After all, the two courtyards are adjacent to each other and share a wall, so even if the relationship between the people is not very close.

When talking about the person in charge of the family, they all know which family each other comes from.

"Why did Officer Lin come to our hospital?"

"I'll just take a look."

Lin Hanyu looked at the old lady who suddenly jumped in front of him from the small house next to him.

I tried hard to remember who she was in my heart.

She really couldn't remember whose old man it was for a moment, and she didn't force herself to smile at him.

Together with Aye, they continued to walk towards the third courtyard with the landlord and Wang Laidie.

An hour passed by the time they had looked around the entire courtyard while talking.

Lin Hanyu stood at the entrance of the courtyard again, looking at the Guangliang gate which was also located in the southeast corner.

Hide the fluctuating emotions in your heart.

This courtyard house is a bit old, but for Aye and I, we will definitely choose to renovate the house.

It's not affected at all.
