"Youngsheng, I believe you said you are my lady's colleague." After hearing Chen Jian's words, the old man said, "But you must be unfamiliar with my lady."

"Uncle, what do you mean?" Chen Jian asked in confusion.

"People who are familiar with my lady know my lady's temper and always say the same thing." The old man said, "Since you don't have her phone number, she doesn't want to give it to you, so don't waste your energy here anymore. What I told you is the truth. My lady has really gone on a long trip. As for where she goes, she doesn't even know. Do you think I will know?"

The old man's words left Chen Jian with nothing to say.

After all, Chen Jian didn't know what Liu Ning looked like at home, or was it like an old man saying it at a glance.

However, Chen Jian vaguely remembered that Liu Ning seemed to have told her that she was also a spoiled person at home.

"Uncle, I'm going to be honest. I'm a doctor and Liu Ning is my patient." Chen Jian looked at the old man and said seriously: "During the treatment stage, she suddenly left without saying goodbye, and then she could no longer contact her. It was a coincidence to see her in Binjiang this time. I took a lot of effort to find this place. I was worried about Liu Ning's condition, so I took the initiative to come to my house."

"Are you a doctor? What disease did you treat my lady?" the old man looked at Chen Jian suspiciously and asked.

"Clean obsession!" Chen Jian said.

Liu Ning's male phobia is a secret. As for her obsession with cleanliness, it is definitely not a secret for her family.

Sure enough, when he heard Chen Jian's words, the old man's face turned serious and asked, "Are you saying true?"

"Really." Chen Jian nodded and said, "Besides, I came to Binjiang to open a clinic, and the name is Huichuntang. It is almost finished with decoration. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."

"Wait a minute." After saying this, the old man closed the door again.

Chen Jian could vaguely hear the old man's footsteps heading inside.

Not long after, the old man appeared again. This time, the old man opened the door and let Chen Jian in, saying, "My master promised to see you."

From the outside, it can be concluded that the courtyard inside must be large, and it is impossible to have only entered the courtyard, because the huge storefront highlights the difference between this courtyard.

In ancient times, there were several rows of houses in front and back, and one row was called Yijin.

Enter, that is, the level of old-style house courtyard.

The courtyard is also called the basic courtyard. This is a courtyard composed of houses on four or three sides.

The second courtyard is formed by expanding longitudinally on the basis of the first courtyard.

When the courtyard is expanded from the first entrance to the second entrance, a barrier wall is usually added between the south gables of the east and west wing rooms, also known as partition walls, which divide the courtyard into two levels: inside and outside.

n,

Two doors are set up at the closing of the barrier wall for entry and exit.

The second courtyard is a small courtyard with a footprint, generally small, with a width of only fifteen or sixteen meters from east to west, and a depth of only twenty or thirty meters from north to south. However, among the courtyards of the second courtyard, there are also large scale and more particular layouts. The main difference from ordinary second courtyards is the difference in the width and narrowness of the land.

The northern room can be separated by seven rooms, namely three rooms in the main room, two rooms on both sides, making it three, four ears.

This kind of courtyard house can be equipped with an outer corridor in the wing room, and the outer corridors are connected by a saber veranda.

This kind of courtyard with hanging flower doors with a hand-papered veranda is no longer a small residence for ordinary people to live in, but a courtyard with a certain scale and quite particularity.

When Chen Jian followed the old man in, he was already in the second courtyard. The courtyard of Liu Ning's family belongs to the courtyard with a hand-paper veranda. It covers a positive ground and has a beautiful environment.

But before this was finished, the old man led Chen Jian through the scribbling veranda and entered another courtyard.

In other words, this courtyard of Liu Ning’s family has three entry points!

The third-entry courtyard of Liu Ning's family was formed by developing in depth based on the second-entry courtyard. It adds a row of rear-enclosed rooms at the back of the main room, and the rear-enclosed rooms and the main room form a narrow and long backyard.

This layout of adding a row of back covers to the back of the main house is considered to be a relatively ideal three-entry courtyard layout. It is called a "typical" or "standard" Siheyuan. The Siheyuan of the three-entry courtyard is a medium-sized residential house and has a considerable scale.

It is conceivable that if the Liu Ning family has such a courtyard in the downtown city, their identity must be not simple.

The old man led Chen Jian to an outside of a room in the third courtyard, stood still, signaled Chen Jian to walk in by himself, and then turned around and left.

The door of the room was closed, and Chen Jian knocked on the door, and an old voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Chen Jian pushed the door and walked in, and found that there was a huge study room, with mahogany bookcases placed beside the wall, full of books.

In the middle is a huge desk. An old man stood behind the desk, and a middle-aged man stood beside him with his hands hanging down. The desk was covered with rice paper, and the old man was writing calligraphy.

On the other side of the bookcase, there is a unique Kung Fu tea table. You can tell at first glance that it is a tea table carved from huge tree roots. This kind of tea table is extremely expensive on the market and may not be able to buy it. The tea table in the room is dark in color and looks like an object that has been around for a long time. Naturally, there is no need to doubt its authenticity.

A middle-aged woman was brewing kung fu tea at the tea table. When she saw Chen Jian looking over, the middle-aged woman smiled at Chen Jian and said hello.

Chen Jian nodded to the middle-aged woman and greeted her silently. He had already made a judgment in his heart that the middle-aged woman should be Liu Ning's mother because she looked very similar to Liu Ning.

The middle man standing beside the old man should be Liu Ning's father, because Liu Ning's shadow can also be seen from his face.

In other words, Liu Ning's appearance combines the advantages of her parents.

No one asked Chen Jian to sit down or greet Chen Jian over, so Chen Jian had to stand at the door.

Fortunately, the door was not far from the desk in the middle, and Chen Jian could clearly see the words written by the old man.

Now, it doesn’t matter what you write with a brush, what is important is what font is written.

The old man wrote regular script, used Liu style, and used good handwriting.

After the old man finished writing, Chen Jian then spoke: "Good words!"

The old man smiled and placed the brush on the pen holder, asking, "Do you understand calligraphy too?"

"I know a little bit about it. The old man wrote the Liu style." Chen Jian said.
