There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 087

He no longer has expectations for the yard of his new home.

But Wu Er saw that the master was disappointed, and quickly explained: "This is the outer wall.

"Outer wall?" Wu Youwei was taken aback.

"Yes, the outer wall. There are ten acres of vegetable fields inside, two circles of apricot and sand fruit trees, and the yard surrounded by it is the place for you to live." Wu Erdao: "It's because there is only your family here, and the wall is also to prevent Some unnecessary troubles.

Only then did Wu Youwei breathe a sigh of relief: "I was shocked, I thought this is the way it is here!"

He knows that in ancient times, all kinds of insecurity, it is better to be in the suburbs of Beijing, if it is in other places, such a place with no neighbors, isn't it a place frequented by bandits, road tyrants and green forest tyrants!

Even if the law and order situation is good, the beast cannot be stopped!

Surrounded by such a high wall, even if it is an earthen wall, at least it is safer.

After entering the outer gate, um, this place has been called the outer gate since then.

It is a road paved with bluestone slabs, extending to the gate.

The earthen wall surrounds a large square yard with a gate and a small side gate. To the east of the yard is a row of apricot trees. Passing the row of apricot trees is a bluestone road, which winds and connects to the small side gate. , Passing by the Qingshiban is a vegetable field, which is now full of various vegetables, all of which have grown to half-grown.

To the east of the gate is an inverted house, and to the east of the inverted house is the wall. Wu Er told Wu Youwei that there is a garden.

Not big, very small and exquisite.

There is a corner gate on the west side of the garden, leading to the east. A large area is enclosed by a fence on the east side. Inside, there is still a row of almond trees planted next to the wall, but there are also a few sand fruit trees mixed in. The fence is closest to the garden. The earth wall on the east side is a row of small corridors, which are made of wooden frames covered with vines. The earth wall is directly to the north of the fence, but next to the earth wall are stables, cattle pens, chicken coops, and duck cages. A place where poultry and livestock are housed.

And there is a stone mill next to the courtyard wall to shelter from the wind, which is used for shelling and milling rice.

At first glance, it was full of peasant atmosphere, and Wu Youwei felt very kind.

As soon as their car arrived at the door, they heard dogs barking.

It turned out that there were two dog houses facing the gate inside the gate, and the two puppies inside heard the movement outside, and immediately barked happily.

Because Wu Youwei is a Juren, he can live in a larger room, and there are two steps in front of the door, and he uses the golden pillar gate.

Since the 26th year of Hongwu (1393 A.D.) in the Ming Dynasty, there are three rooms and seven shelves in the official halls of the sixth to ninth ranks, and three rooms in the main entrance hall; the main hall of the common people should not exceed three rooms and five shelves.In the 30th year of Hongwu, it was reiterated that there can be as many as one or twenty houses, but the number of rooms and frames cannot be increased.

In the 12th year of Zhengtong (AD 1447), some modifications were made, and the number of frames could be increased, but the number of rooms still could not be changed.

The hierarchical system of residential buildings in the Ming Dynasty mainly limited the number of rooms and frames, while the number of floors could be adjusted according to local conditions.

Just the facade has a lot to pay attention to.

If it is white, even the door has to be made of white wood, or a black door, no other colors.

Jinzhu gate is a house-style gate in ancient architecture, which is lower than Guangliang gate in grade and higher than Manzi gate and Ruyi gate, and is used by officials and officials.

In terms of scale, the Jinzhu gate is obviously smaller than the Guangliang gate, and the gate is also narrow, and some have only half-opening.Other aspects, such as the structure, roof and carvings of the gate, are the same as those of Guangliang gate.

The wooden frame of the Jinzhu gate generally adopts the five-purlin front corridor style, and some individuals adopt the seven-purlin front and rear corridor style, with three or four rows of columns on the plane, namely the front eaves columns, front eaves gold columns (rear eaves gold columns), and rear eaves columns. column.Three or five beams are supported on the golden pillars, and interspersed beams or beams are placed between the eaves pillars and the golden pillars.

Like the Guangliang Gate, sparrows are also used as decorations under the eaves and eaves outside the Jinzhu Gate.

Just looking at the gate, I feel that this house must be too small!

Wu Youwei went up two steps, and he was the first to push open the door, which was a bit heavy, but he pushed it open with all his might, and saw the dog house and the puppy.

Wu Youwei was still not doing well, so Xiaoxiao stepped forward and petted the two puppies vigorously. The two puppies looked like they had just been hugged, and they didn't remember who their owners were, but they were no strangers to anyone. Bite little.

Opposite the gate is a screen wall, on which a word "Fu" is made of red bricks.

Wu Youwei came here for the first time, and he will live here from now on, so he raised his legs and walked in with great interest.

After passing the screen wall, there is the second gate.

Only then did Wu Youwei discover that the main house of this house is a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances. Opposite the second gate is a row of three-room upside-down houses.

Xiao Lian's grandparents went in without being told, and this will be the place for the old couple from now on.

The east side of this room is the front door, and the west side is the side door, both of which can be seen and guarded.

After passing through the first narrow courtyard and entering the second gate, it is indeed a quadrangle courtyard with a "ten" on the ground paved with bluestone slabs, three main rooms on the north side and one side room on each side.

There are three wing rooms on the east and west sides, and a small side room on the south side of the east and west wing rooms.

Wu Youwei couldn't be more excited!

He was really suffocated, he had the final say on everything in the Wu Mansion, so he never said anything; it was just that it was not easy to come to ancient times, and finally he had a family, a business and land!

In his era, this courtyard house had to be at least the price of a villa in Yangmingshan!

The house does not talk about carved beams and painted buildings, but it is rich enough, and because it is very new, it looks much better than Wu Youwei's small courtyard in Wu's house!

"Master, this is the front yard." Wu Erdao: "The living room is in the middle, your resting place is in the east, and the study is in the west."

Wu Youwei raised his leg and went in to look around, very satisfied.

The resting place in the east is still the kang made of bricks and stones, and the living room is in the middle. Some people have already started to move things into the living room. They are all the furnishings of his original living room, so they will naturally be displayed again.

The study room is especially important, Wu Youwei told Xiao Xiao: "I will come to the study room by myself, just move the books in first."

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao started with all her strength.

Accompanied by Wu Da and Wu Er, Wu Youwei continued to visit his new home.

Open a door in the side room on the east side of the main landlord, and you can go out from here and reach the back.

Behind is an independent courtyard.

There is a separate door, but it looks like a vertical flower door, and the inside is only a narrow courtyard in size from the front courtyard, and there is no inverted room.

To the east of this inner courtyard are two side courtyards, both of which open to the east. The south courtyard is next to the garden with an inverted room, west wing room and main room, while the north side only has the west wing room and main room, and the two yards have no side rooms. .

On the east side of the inner courtyard, there is a courtyard next to the side door. There are three inverted rooms in a row in this courtyard. There are only two main rooms in the back yard, and there are no doors. If you want to enter and exit here, you must pass through the front living room.

On the northeast corner behind the east courtyard, there is another courtyard, also [the door faces west, there are only two rooms, there is no inverted room or wing room.

The ancient rules were strict, and Mr. Wu built the best and largest building here without violating the rules, and it was big enough for his youngest son to live in.

In the future, even if they marry a wife and have children, and the son marries a daughter-in-law, it will be enough to live there.

The place is really big, Wu Youwei initially estimated that it would be at least [-] ping!

And they are all well-decorated!

Wu Er looked at the master and asked worriedly, "Master? Is there anything wrong?"

"No, no!" Wu Youwei came back to his senses, pointed to the courtyard to the east and asked, "What is this for?"

"Master, this is the guest house." Wu Er introduced: "If you have guests, you can live here, there is a courtyard behind, and it doesn't matter if you have female relatives.

Oh, Wu Youwei understands.

In this era, it is very necessary for men and women to defend themselves.

The inner courtyard at the back is a place for the hostess and hostess to sleep, and the inside is...blank!

Wu Youwei looked at Wu Er, his eyes filled with two words: explain!

He remembered what he said, let them fix this place, and he moved in directly with his bag, and it turned out that the front was done well, but what happened to the back, it was all empty for him?

"My lord, it's better to leave this place empty." Wu Er explained dumbfoundingly: "After all, you haven't got married yet, and the future wife has entered the house. Naturally, the wife's natal family will come to measure and make furniture in this backyard. Now you will use this place If it is full, it will be empty in the future.”

Wu Youwei choked, he really didn't think so far!

In ancient times, it was true that the woman’s dowry included furniture, and in ancient times, all the more particular families started to save wood after their daughter was born, and when they were engaged, they would send someone to the man’s house to measure the size and order furniture. style.It’s better in the north, they sleep on heated kangs, but in the south they all sleep on beds, and it is said that the most time-consuming work will take three years to complete!Therefore, girls get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and don't get married until they are sixteen or seventeen.

Among them, the three or four years are for the two parties to make preparations, and the woman's furniture is also finished and sent over during this time.

Therefore, the inner courtyard of his new house is blank!

There is only a new house, new walls, new window frames and screens, and a new bamboo mat is laid on the kang.

"No, let people... Forget it, I will draw the blueprints, and then let the carpenter follow suit!" Wu Youwei said: "My inner courtyard must have furniture, and I also want to live here, the house cannot empty."

....yes. " Wu Er had no choice but to agree, but after agreeing, he reminded Wu Youwei: "Master, you are already dead, shouldn't you tell the old lady about a marriage?You are so old, the old man's filial piety is also out... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wife and children.However, Wu Youwei got goosebumps after hearing this!

As I said before, women from rich families in ancient times were all out of doors. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, it was already the peak of feudal society. In the Qing Dynasty, at least Manchu women did not bind their feet. , is the foot of heaven.

It is what one grows up to be.

Only Han women have their feet bound.

Now it is the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is a family with some money, the daughters will have their feet bound, so that they can marry a good husband in the future.

Even the brothel Chu Guan is proud to comment on playing with little feet.

The aesthetics of men in this era is also very deformed. When looking at women, they don't look at the face first, but whether the feet are small enough.

At the thought of a woman with such deformed feet, Wu Youwei lost all "sex".

Not to mention, the generation gap between the two.

People in later generations say that there is a three-year gap between generations, how many years have passed between them?

Is the generation gap as deep as the Mariana Trench?

Moreover, divorce is not popular here, and once married, it is a lifetime.

He is going to live to be more than 100 years old in this life, is he going to be aggrieved?

No way!

He would rather not get married than live in aggrieved life.

What's more, he has separated from the family, and the old lady can't control him anymore.

As long as he is not willing, who can force him to do so?

He won't get married, if you have the ability, bite him!

After looking at the new home, everyone started to get busy. The things they brought had to be put away, and there were many things that needed to be organized. In the past, there was no way to do it in the mansion. They could only use the east wing as a warehouse. Now there is a warehouse , is the semi-drawn courtyard in the northwest corner, the main room is for food, and the north and south are transparent and dry;
