Chapter 399
But when he entered the courtyard, Yang Dongsheng couldn't help being disappointed.

The house is not small, the courtyard alone is over a hundred square meters, but it is too dilapidated, not to mention the red paint on the pillars peeling off in large pieces, the tiles are also incomplete, and the steel bars on the windows are very abrupt, and they are almost broken due to rust. It was gone, and all kinds of junk were still piled up in a corner of the yard.

A very old tree was planted in the middle of the yard, and the ground beside the tree was raised into a big bag by the top of the tree roots.

Not to mention how dilapidated it is!
The old man opened the door of one of the rooms, and the tables, chairs, and wooden cabinets placed in the room were very cheap at first glance, and the styles were definitely not old items.

Yang Dongsheng and Yang Huai looked at each other, and saw the old man pointing upwards, and said in a godlike manner, "The rafters on this roof are all made of golden nanmu, which were replaced by my ancestors when they were repairing the house. It will be passed down!"

The electric light in the house is already broken, and Hei Bulongdong can't see clearly!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Yang Huai looked disbelieving, "Is the house in Lei's family built with golden nanmu? Don't lie, okay. In ancient times, golden nanmu was only used by the royal family! The ancestors of the Lei family used golden nanmu. He Do you think you didn't die fast enough?"

"You are a sage, you know even this!" The little old man smiled, "Then you must also know that Emperor Qianlong built Yuling and demolished the Yongling of Emperor Jiajing of the former Ming Dynasty? Tens of thousands of people were killed! My ancestor was the first-class bodyguard of Emperor Qianlong at the time, with the official title of the third grade! At that time, there was a leak in one of our houses, and the foreman gave some scraps to my ancestor in order to curry favor with him! Look at the main girders that have been replaced one crop after another, but these rafters have never been replaced!"

The little old man was proud when he talked about Qianlong's demolition of his tomb.

"Did Qianlong really demolish the Yongling Mausoleum? When I was in Hong Kong, I heard from Ah SIR that the time of the two did not match!"

"Anyway, that's what everyone said! Hehe..." The old man smiled, opened several other rooms, and pointed to the room, "This big cabinet is also made of nanmu, and the tea table is made of red sandalwood. That official hat chair is from Huanghuali, and these are all my ancestors!"

"Then what about these furniture? So blue that your ancestors used leftover materials to make such a big cabinet?" Yang Huai asked.

"Of course it's not made of leftovers! Puyi left the palace in 1924, you know about it? In fact, before that, he knew he wouldn't be able to stay in the palace for long, so he poured out things in private. The fun things thrown out of the palace, it’s really gone!" Speaking of Puyi, the little old man looked contemptuous, "At that time, my grandfather happened to be an imperial guard in the palace, and many of these things were transported by him. .My grandfather is a real person, he didn't dare to bang good things, so he left these few pieces of furniture!"

Seeing what the old man said about the nose and eyes, Yang Dongsheng stepped forward and looked at it. The furniture does look old, the wood looks very thick, and the workmanship is also quite exquisite!
It looks really good!
"How much does Lei want for these things?" Yang Huai asked.

"These golden nanmu rafters cost 2000 yuan each, don't you think so? As for these pieces of furniture, this amount..." The old man stretched out his hand while speaking.

"Ask him, does this house belong to him?" Yang Dongsheng suddenly said in English.

Yang Huai was taken aback, but immediately translated Yang Dongsheng's meaning into awkward Mandarin.

Hearing the words, the little old man seemed to be insulted, and he jumped up, "Of course this yard belongs to me! My ancestors were transferred from the first-class guards in front of the imperial court to the green camp, and directly became the second-rank lieutenants! At that time The green battalion is not like the later generations. Lord Kangxi quelled the chaos of San Francisco, and Lord Qianlong used the green battalion every time. They are veritable elites! My ancestors made many military exploits and were rewarded by Lord Qianlong! Apart from this courtyard, there are Half a street away, there are several Zhuangzi outside the city, but then my family fell into ruin, and now there is only this yard left..."

The old man rambled on and on about the glory of his ancestors. Yang Dongsheng was in no mood to continue listening to him. "Ask him, is this house for sale and how much do you want to sell it for?"

Looking at it like this, the house should have been unoccupied for a long time.

The courtyard house in the 90s is not the mansion of the later generations, which is used by celebrities and rich people to show off.

Most of the courtyard houses in this era had no heating, no gas, and no toilets. Usually, several families shared the same yard and shared the same faucet. There were constant conflicts between neighbors, and they were called "big courtyards".

Moreover, many courtyard houses have been built for 200 years, and they have already become dilapidated buildings!
In this era, there is still a welfare housing system. Those who can move have already moved to the tube building, and those who live in the courtyard are the lower class!

A famous female singer lived in a courtyard house with her boyfriend in Huajing, emptying the spittoon, and going to the public toilet. She was photographed by Hong Kong reporters and became the laughing stock of the Hong Kong media.

After Yang Huai translated the words, the little old man yelled as if his tail had been stepped on, "This yard of mine is not an ordinary yard! Don't think it's a bit broken now, but the location is good! It's next to the Forbidden City. I think I could Those who live here must be at least Shangsanqi, or relatives of the emperor! Our family was born in Zhenghuangqi, and there have been several empresses in our ancestors..."

"..." Yang Dongsheng didn't know why the little old man became so excited all of a sudden, and watched the little old man's performance with Yang Huai with his arms folded.

Half an hour later, the little old man finally called Tired A, and said, "Last month, a yard next to this was sold for 80 yuan. His yard is not one-third as big as mine. How can my yard be so big?" ...It must be more than 200 million!"

"Lei Hao knows how to do business! Okay, it's only 200 million, I admit it!" Yang Huai said.

"I mean more than 200: [-]!" said the little old man.

"Do you want more?" Yang Huai rolled his eyes, "Then let's go and see how his yard is, and then discuss the price, Lei said, okay?"

"This……"

The little old man finally agreed to sell the furniture and the yard together. His yard has long been a dilapidated house and cannot be compared with others, otherwise he would not even be able to rent it out!
The little old man looked very happy, thinking that he had slaughtered a fat sheep.I don't know if he will cry in a few years!
In 2004, a media tycoon bought the largest courtyard house in the vicinity, and it is said that it cost about 1000 million yuan. In 2013, when the media tycoon divorced, it is said that the price of the courtyard had already risen to sky-high.

"Brother, do you think this house will increase in value in the future?" Yang Huai asked after getting into the car.

"The location here is great. In 20 years, your yard will be worth 2 million yuan, believe it or not?"

Many celebrities in later generations like to show off their courtyard houses, each of which is often claimed to be worth hundreds of millions. Both the area and the location are far worse than here!
