In East Mianmian Alley, Old Man Fu took out a key and opened the door himself.
With a creaking sound, the door opened, but a lot of dust fell from the door frame, indicating that no one had been to the house for a long time.
Old Man Fu took the lead into the yard and made an introduction:
"This house is not a standard courtyard layout. You see, there is no small courtyard for the servants to live behind the screen wall. Turn left and enter the courtyard directly. It lacks a second courtyard door, which is the hanging flower door.
Lin Sanqi walked to the yard and looked around, feeling quite satisfied. There were three main rooms in the main room, with two side rooms on the left and right next to it, three east and west wing rooms each, and five side rooms facing the street.
This is actually a complete and ordinary courtyard layout, but it may not be elegant enough in the eyes of wealthy families.
The courtyard in the middle is almost 200 square meters. Compared with the large courtyard, this courtyard is already very spacious. The key is a high degree of privacy. There is no need to guard against thieves when eating delicious food.
It was the dead grass on the roof that drifted in the cold wind that told Lin Sanqi that this house would need major repairs if it was to be inhabited.
Old Man Fu took Lin Sanqi to visit each room while telling stories about his family:
"My mother secretly bought this house back then and raised an actor here. Then one day my mother-in-law caught me and showed up. Only then did I know that we still have this house in our hands. Hey, it will be confiscated immediately. .
But don't worry, my mother didn't kill the little actress on the spot, she just gave her to her maternal cousin, which made my father miss her, so the house is clean and there was no drowning in the well. Extraordinary. ”
Speaking of the well, Lin Sanqi suddenly became interested. In front of her were the children of the royal family. They should know a lot of secrets in the palace, right?
"Old man, was Emperor Guangxu's concubine Zhen really thrown into a well on the order of Emperor Guangxu?"
"No, I've even seen that well. It's inside the Zhenshun Gate at the north end of the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City. That place is eerie in the daytime. When we were kids, we would scream in fear every time we went there to play. Even the people in the palace screamed.
It was the eunuch Cui Yugui who did it himself. Concubine Zhen struggled fiercely, so Cui Yugui tied her up, tied two big rocks to her body, and threw her headfirst down the well like a green onion, giving her no chance to survive. Poor Concubine Zhen's body was not recovered until a year and a half later. It was so tragic. ”
"Wow, after being soaked in water for a year and a half, the body will be destroyed, right?"
"It's strange to say that when Concubine Zhen's body was retrieved, the body was not destroyed, and one of her legs was still curled up. At that time, Concubine Zhen's brother straightened her legs and put them in the coffin."< br>
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Concubine Zhen is too miserable."
"It's tragic. What's even worse is that in 1938, Concubine Zhen's tomb was stolen by a group of local bandits. My eldest brother was so angry that he almost vomited blood."
"Then Emperor Guangxu should be your uncle, right?"
"I have to call uncle, he is my dad's brother."
"Then what do you think of the Guangxu Reform at that time? If the Hundred Days Reform succeeded, would we also become a developed country?"
Mr. Fu suddenly snorted:
"Shit, even though the Six Gentlemen of 1898 only talked nonsense and ruined the country, they were still full of passion. The man named Kang was definitely a treacherous official and a complete villain. Lord Guangxu was deceived by him.
If you want to really reform, it's not like Lafayette doesn't support it, even if you coax the old lady, but the man surnamed Kang said that he would kill Lafayette as soon as he came up. Isn't this trying to sow discord between mother and son?
As a result, the reform failed. Kang himself went abroad and used fake clothes and imperial edicts to swindle money everywhere. He only married six wives. But not a penny of foreign money was transferred to China for construction, and it all went into his own private pocket.
Such treacherous ministers will definitely bring harm to the country and the people. Poor Guangxu, he mistakenly believed in the villain's words and ended up being imprisoned until death. Had it not been for the opposition from the foreigners, that boy Fu Jun would have almost usurped the throne. ”
Lin Sanqi was surprised when he heard this: "Who is Fu Jun? What does he have to do with this?"
Old Man Fu took Lin Sanqi around the old house and continued to tell him stories:
"Fu Jun is also a cousin of mine. After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Lafayette wanted to depose Emperor Guangxu, so in December of the Year of Jihai, he convened a meeting of princes and ministers to formally appoint Pu Jun as the "eldest brother", that is, the emperor's younger brother. .
It was planned to hold the abdication ceremony for Emperor Guangxu in the second month, which was the New Year's Day of the Gengzi year. At that time, the reign name was even chosen, and it was called Baoqing. Later, everyone at home and abroad strongly opposed it, and Pu Jun and his son also failed to live up to expectations. That's why I didn't get the upper hand. ”
"Oh~~~"
Lin Sanqi understood. It turned out that before the last emperor Fu Yi came to power, there was another eldest brother who almost ascended to the throne. Very few people knew about this history.
"Old man, where is your cousin Fu Jun now?"
"Where is he? He has returned to the West a long time ago. This man is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He is very prodigal. Fortunately, he did not ascend the throne, otherwise our country will probably suffer even more."
Speaking of this, Old Man Fu said softly: "My brother is also coming out this year."
"Your brother? Which brother?"
"Who else? The last one."
Lin Sanqi had a very strong sense of curiosity and wanted Old Man Fu to take him to see the last emperor with his own eyes, and then find out how much had been deleted from the book "My First Half of Life"?
But if you think about it more carefully, this man is a sensitive person. He has not been cleared of suspicion as a spy, so he cannot get involved in seeking death.
The two of them walked to the backyard again while chatting.
"Brother Lin, this is the backyard. The houses in the last row were originally occupied by servants. There are 5 rooms in total."
The backyard is much smaller than the front yard, but it is more quiet. Lin Sanqi is very satisfied with this yard.
From now on, just sitting in front of your home, you can see the beauties in the drama walking by. How convenient.
When Mr. Fu saw Lin Sanqi's expression, he felt relieved.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with this house?" Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly:
"I'm satisfied. Now my family is still living in the ruined courtyard of Gege Mansion. My brother and my parents can only live in one room. In the end, I can only live in a house renovated from the waterside pavilion in the back garden. It's miserable."
< br>
"Okay, as long as you are satisfied. No one has lived in this house for more than 10 years. It will be yours from now on. Here, here is the key. We will go out in a while and we will go to the street to change the household."
Historically, Fu Zuo lived until 2001, and did not suffer much at that time. All this was because he listened to the advice and dispersed his family wealth early.
Just like now, he listened to Lin Sanqi's words and planned to donate or give away all the houses and company shares in his name.
He has even decided that if there is any trouble, he will not want to live in the Prince's Mansion now, and the whole family will move to a small house.
So now he doesn't feel bad at all when he gives Lin Sanqi a courtyard house, not to mention getting Lin Sanqi's future promise.
It was already afternoon when the two of them arrived at the Jiaodaokou Street Office.
"Sorry, two comrades, the state does not allow private buying and selling of houses, and our street cannot handle transfer procedures."
A middle-aged male staff member returned the house deed and land deed to Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu became anxious:
"Comrade, this is a private house. You see, I have all the certificates and certificates. How come I am not allowed to transfer the ownership?"
The staff was a little impatient: "Why can't I transfer the ownership? Who can I ask? If it doesn't work, it won't work."
Old Man Fu wanted to argue for a while, but Lin Sanqi stopped him and took out his work ID:
"Hello, comrade, I am the chief of the purchasing department of the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We are all our own people, haha."
At first, the staff thought that Lin Sanqi was just an idle member of society, but now they saw that he was also part of the system, so their attitude changed a lot.
"Comrade Lin, right? According to policy, the country does not allow private transactions of houses. In principle, all houses belong to the state and must be uniformly subject to the state's distribution."
Lin Sanqi thought, why should I hand over my own house for unified distribution?
But he wasn't prepared to bear it forcefully. Aren't the so-called principles meant to be broken?
Lin Sanqi saw that there was no one around, and closed the office door directly. In the surprised eyes of the staff, she opened the drawer of the other party as if she was familiar with it, stuffed two paper packages from the backpack, and whispered ：
"We are all on our own, so for convenience, here is a pound of Longjing tea and a pound of brown sugar..."
The street staff was a little anxious: What do you mean?
Lin Sanqi: It’s not interesting, it’s interesting.
Street staff: You are not interesting enough.
Lin Sanqi: It’s trivial, it’s trivial.
The street worker smiled and said: You are really interesting.
Lin Sanqi also smiled: Actually, there is no other meaning.
Street staff: Then I'm sorry.
Lin Sanqi: I’m sorry.
The idea was understood, everyone understood it tacitly, and the street staff gave guidance:
"Comrade Fu, you should immediately write a house transfer agreement on a blank piece of paper and state that you are voluntarily transferring it to Lin Sanqi."
Old Man Fu nodded, lowered his head and started writing.
The staff took out two more blank house ownership certificates from the cabinet and filled in Lin Sanqi's name in the homeowner's column.
Then he took out a blank "Private Property Certificate" registration book and filled in all the information about the courtyard house in East Mianmian Hutong.
"Here, you two sign and then put your fingerprints on it."
Then the staff took all the documents and went out. When they came back, the official official seal had been stamped on them.
"Okay, this is considered a transfer of ownership. Comrade Fu's old house deed and land deed are left, as well as the voluntary transfer agreement on file. This proves that the transfer of the house is the voluntary consent of both parties, and I am the witness.
< br>
Comrade Lin, please take this house ownership certificate and private real estate certificate. Having these two certificates means that this house belongs to you personally. Don't worry, no one will be allowed to live in your house on our street. ”
After speaking, the staff blinked.
Lin Sanqi also blinked to show that he had received it, and the two of them had a tacit understanding.
In the era when there was no computer network for office work, it was completely filled in by hand, and the transfer and filing work was completed in less than half an hour.
From then on, Lin Sanqi had a real home of her own in Sijiu City.
Although the waterside pavilion is quiet, it is a public house after all. Although it is generally not taken away, who can say what will happen in the future... (End of Chapter)
