In general, this house is divided into three courtyards and two courtyards, one for the outer courtyard, and the second and third for the inner courtyard.
There is a simple courtyard on both sides of the entrance, which is for the male servants and servants of the family.
The other is that there are still several sets of small courtyards inside, which are for the housekeeper and the more decent servants with family members.
Inside, there is a large hall facing the main entrance, which is where the man entertains guests and conducts affairs.
Behind the hall is a courtyard where the man has a study and a rest room in the outer courtyard.
Further inside, under the division of the garden and the landscape, it is divided into three separate courtyards, which are for the young masters who are over seven years old.
As the old saying goes, men and women don't sit at the same age at the age of seven, and the young masters of large families have to move out of the inner courtyard after they are seven years old.
Of course, there are also some children's children who live in the inner courtyard when they are seven years old because of physical reasons or because the elders in the family can't give up, but at most they have to move out at the age of ten.
Like Jia Baoyu, who is still in his teens and messes with his sisters and sisters in the Grand View Garden, he will be laughed at when he is outside.
These courtyards can also be reserved for the reception of male guests who stay overnight on weekdays.
Walking inside, through a wide road paved with bluestone slabs, is the second entrance, and from here there is the inner courtyard.
People say that in ancient times, women did not go out of the two gates, which means that these women generally could not go out of the two courtyard gates.
These two entrances are the residences of the lords and wives of the family, and of course, if there is a concubine's family, the concubine also lives here.
Therefore, the three courtyards of the two entrances are particularly large, and the courtyards also have different small courtyards according to the size, which are estimated to be for young children or concubines.
However, each yard is built more beautiful and luxurious, and ladies and women usually can't go out, so only by making the yard where they live beautiful can they live in it for a long time.
There is also a large hall directly opposite the second gate, which is usually the place where the hostess handles household affairs and manages the slaves.
Walking along this hall to the east side of the capital is a large diagonal courtyard, and the old housekeeper Shen said that it is the location of the large kitchen.
And they did not go to look.
Anyway, the kitchen looks pretty much the same, and there's not much reads to see.
The west side of this hall passes through the shadow of a rockery, and is another seemingly inconspicuous small courtyard, according to the old housekeeper Shen.
It was the storeroom of the house.
Walking down the storehouse is the family's stable, which is where the carriages and horses are kept.
There is no door from the second to the third, everyone walked over and suddenly opened up, it turned out to be an artificial lake built by the family, this lake has an area of about two acres, the lake is also sporadically distributed this rockery and pavilions, what Ruoyun likes the most is that the center of the lake actually built a warm pavilion, there are three houses, very exquisite and quiet.
Ruoyun couldn't help but think that if it was summer.
You can take a nap in this warm pavilion, and when the time comes, open the window, and the cool breeze on the lake will definitely be very pleasant.
According to the old housekeeper Shen, the water in this lake is living water.
It is connected to the river that runs through the village.
This ensures that the water is clean and clear.
Bypassing this lake, it is three in, here is generally the residence of the girls in the family, so the three small courtyards are very exquisitely built, and the landscape is much more than the first two courtyards, it is simply surrounded by gardens, it is estimated that the original owner Shen is thinking about letting his daughters live in the same garden as flowers.
There is also a courtyard behind the third entrance.
However, the door is a small door in the middle of nowhere, and you won't notice it unless you look closely.
The old housekeeper Shen said that it was a subordinate room for the maids and mothers-in-law of the family.
Everyone went to see it, the house was built simple and practical, but it was also relatively spacious and bright, and there were several small courtyards separated separately, each courtyard was two or three rooms.
It was said that it was for the mothers in charge.
After visiting the circle, Ruoyun likes this house very much, even if people ask for two thousand taels now, she will not hesitate to buy it.
I can't help but praise myself for my good luck, I didn't expect to meet such a complete and beautiful house in this small mountain village, is this the role of the legendary protagonist's aura. ad And it seems that the main courtyards of this house.
It should be cleaned soon, the room is very clean, no one has lived in the house for a few years, and there is no smell.
The furniture is quite complete, if you buy it, you can save a lot of trouble, Ruoyun feels that a thousand taels is worth a lot.
It is estimated that Chu Ziheng also thinks so, he has already planned to live in a village house, but he didn't expect to meet such a good house, it is really hard to find.
Both of them looked at each other in surprise, and then nodded slightly.
"Old housekeeper Shen, I don't know when we will be able to move in as soon as we buy this house," Chu Ziheng asked.
As soon as the old housekeeper Shen heard this, he knew that there was a door for this matter today, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "Tomorrow, as long as you pay all the money, you will be able to move in tomorrow."
There are still more than a dozen people in our Shen family staying here, I asked them to collect things overnight, and we can vacate the house early tomorrow morning."
In fact, Old Butler Shen is also quite anxious, he thinks that if he leaves home early tomorrow morning, calculate the days, before the Chinese New Year's Eve, he should be able to go to the house to reunite with his relatives, and when he is older, he still yearns for family happiness, and he doesn't know how the grandsons and granddaughters at home are doing now after three years.
Ruoyun was overjoyed when he heard this, then it meant that they only needed to make do with tonight in the Li family.

Then she nodded at Mama Liu, who took out fifty taels of gold from the burden she was carrying and handed it to Chu Ziheng.
This gold is still the gold that Wu Zhangyang planted against them last time, and now it just comes in handy.
When I went out today, Mama Liu felt that she might have to buy a house today, so she brought this gold with her.
Mama Liu's action startled Li Manshu, who was still dizzy until now, he always felt that one thousand taels was an astronomical amount, Ruoyun and they would definitely not buy this house, so when the old housekeeper Shen took him to see the house, he was very anxious, afraid that it would be very embarrassing if he didn't buy the house after working for a long time.
But he didn't expect this old lady to carry so much gold with her, and it wasn't until Mama Liu took out the gold that he was sure that Ruoyun and they were indeed going to spend a thousand taels to buy this mansion, and he was even more shocked in his heart.
At the beginning, he still wanted Mr.
Yinzhen to be the doctor in the village, but now it seems that he has to dispel his thoughts, people with so much silver, will they scarce the few dollars for medical treatment for the people in the village, not to mention that some villagers really don't have the money, and taking a few eggs and a bundle of firewood can also be used as medical expenses, will Mr.
Yinzhen care about this idea Li Qingxiu, who followed Jiang Yurong on the side, was even more shocked and her eyes widened, she had seen such a beautiful garden for the first time in her life, she felt that her own eyes were not enough, just now when she followed the garden, she also visited purely with an appreciative attitude, she and Li Manshu also felt that there were so many silver for a thousand taels, and they would not buy a house.
I thought in my heart that this was the last time I saw such a beautiful garden in my life, and I could take a look at it more, but I didn't expect that after visiting the garden, Ruoyun and they really paid for the house, and they still used gold, God, there was a lot of gold, she had never seen so much silver in her life, how could she have ever thought that she could see so much gold.
No matter what others thought, Chu Ziheng took the gold handed over by Mama Liu, and said, "Old housekeeper Shen, we like this house very much, so we decided to buy it, and we won't bargain according to the price of one thousand taels offered by Lord Shen."
This is fifty taels of gold, which should be worth five hundred taels of silver, and we will count it as a deposit and give it first, and tomorrow when you pay the deed, we will give you the remaining five hundred taels."
Old housekeeper Shen looked at the gold handed over by Chu Ziheng, an old face smiled, and his heart finally fell to the ground, after three years, the house was finally sold, and he could finally go home, "Yes, yes, thank you Zhou Gongzi, I'll write you a receipt now" Although it is said that one tael of gold can be worth ten taels of silver, it is only a popular saying, because it is more valuable than silver today, so it can rarely be exchanged according to this ratio, generally one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least eleven taels of silver, so Chu Ziheng gave him fifty taels of gold, which is actually worth more than five hundred taels of silver, and they also take advantage of it.
So the old housekeeper Shen didn't say a word, and asked the porter Xiao Fang on the side to take the four treasures of the study, and wrote down a cashier contract, in duplicate, with one copy for each party, and Li Manshu, who was still in shock, became a Chinese in a daze.
After completing the formalities, seeing that it was not early, everyone said goodbye, leaving time for the old housekeeper Shen and they hurriedly packed their luggage and things.
Then I made an appointment, and I came to collect the house early tomorrow morning, and I went to Li Li's family.
Halfway through, Li Manshu woke up like a dream, "What do you say, this is to buy the Shen family's house" "Yes, I bought it, we will live in this village in the future, and please take care of you, the village chief, Grandpa Manshu" Chu Ziheng said with a smile, in fact, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, buying a house actually made Yun'er spend money, but who let him not bring a penny with him when he came out, and after seeing his father, he was in a complicated mood at that time, and he forgot to ask his father for silver, it seems that he can only wait until he returns to the capital in the future and must compensate Yun'er well.
Ruoyun doesn't care about this, it's because she's so rich.
And along the way, although they were cousins who had turned a few corners, she subconsciously regarded Chu Ziheng as her own.
Getting back to the point, Li Manshu listened to Chu Ziheng's words, and immediately said, "This is easy to say, as long as it is useful to your grandfather Manshu, even if you open your mouth, you call me Grandpa Manshu, and I can't let you call it in vain." s： Friends have gone out.,Here is the author's background automatic upload system.,Please forgive me for any inconvenience.
