The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

According to Lu Yuan's investigation, this courtyard originally belonged to a prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was his residence for keeping mistresses.

Later, before his death, the old prince left a will bequeathing the courtyard to his favorite concubine.

Because this concubine had given birth to two sons and a daughter for him, and this concubine was naturally the deaf old woman in front of him.

According to Lu Yuan's investigation, the deaf old woman's eldest son is named Jin Wenjun, and he is currently serving in the bald man's army, where he has now risen to the rank of major.

Her youngest son, Jin Wenhua, is extremely mysterious, and no detailed information about him has been found yet.

Her daughter's name is Jin Wenzhu. Fifteen years ago, she married a wealthy businessman from Shanghai and has long since moved to Shanghai with her husband's family.

"Are you the Li family who bought the east wing?"

"Yes!"

Li Xiao took the house sale contract out of his pocket and handed it to the deaf old woman.

She took the property deed, looked at it, and saw that it had her own signature and fingerprint on it. She nodded and handed the deed back to Li Xiao.

"The main gate to the east wing is in the back courtyard; you can go there yourselves!"

"OK!"

At this moment, Xu Fugui said with a smile, "Little Li, Wang's sister, after you've finished packing, come to the central courtyard for the feast!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu!"

Wang Xia smiled and nodded to the neighbors around her, then took Liu Qianqian's hand in one hand and Li Qian's hand in the other, and walked towards the backyard.

Li Xiao and Li Feng, pulling a cart, also went to the east courtyard to see what their future home would look like.

Wang Xia took out the key, opened the gate to the east courtyard, and the whole family went inside.

What comes into view is a courtyard with an area of ​​about 700 square meters.

Li Xiao had already learned from Lu Yuan that the entire No. 95 courtyard had two side courtyards. The west side courtyard was originally a garden, which used to have artificial hills, pavilions, and other courtyards.

After the old prince died, the courtyard gradually fell into disrepair due to long-term neglect, and some of the pavilions and towers inside were damaged or even collapsed.

The east wing he bought was originally the residence of the descendants and servants of the original owner of the mansion. It was divided into two sections, and Li Xiao and his group entered the back courtyard.

This second courtyard is the main courtyard, with a total area of ​​approximately 500 square meters.

Although the house in the second courtyard looks old and dilapidated, it is not in danger of collapsing for the time being because of the high-quality materials used.

The main house, with two side rooms, has an interior area of ​​about 180 square meters.

In the center of the main house was a living room, about seventy square meters in size. It was now empty, with all the furniture gone, leaving only some stools with missing legs and a broken desk, which were placed crookedly inside.

On the east and west sides of the main house, there was a bedroom on each side. Li Xiao went in and took a look. In each bedroom, there was a kang (heated brick bed) that was still in relatively good condition.

The kang (heated brick bed) was covered in dust. After checking it, Li Xiao found no cracks and it shouldn't be leaking smoke.

The side rooms on both sides, each about seventeen or eighteen square meters in size, were filled with some broken boxes and some tattered rags that were so dirty that their original color could not be discerned.

This used to be a storage room, but it can be converted into a study later.

There is a side room on the east and west sides of the second courtyard, and an ear room on the south side of each side room, with a total area of ​​more than 80 square meters.

The east and west wing rooms were each divided into two bedrooms, providing extremely spacious living environments. The south side room of the east wing room was originally the kitchen, while the south side room of the west wing room was originally the bathroom.

In the middle of the backyard, a cross-shaped path was made of stone slabs, with the ends of the path connecting the main house, the east and west wing rooms, and the moon gate leading to the front yard.

Li Xiao stepped towards the front courtyard, where there was a row of bungalows on the east and west sides, each of which was divided into six bedrooms.

Li Xiao roughly estimated that each bedroom here was only about fourteen or fifteen square meters in size.

The front yard covers an area of ​​about 300 square meters. The central open space is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are drainage ditches on both sides, so that there will be no water accumulation in the yard during the rainy season.

Li Xiao immediately used his telepathic ability to contact Lu Yuan and instructed him to find some reliable craftsmen the next day to tidy up the place a bit.

Although we are currently under Japanese occupation, life must go on.

At that time, although there was already a water company in Beijing, only about 30% of the total population had access to tap water, and most people still did not have access to tap water.

In this courtyard house at No. 95, there happens to be a water pipe that runs to the backyard. This was arranged by the resourceful deaf old lady to make her life easier.

Li Xiao planned to spend some money to have workers connect another water pipe from the backyard, which would make water use more convenient in the future.

In addition, he also plans to clear out a room in the front yard to turn into a bathroom. In his space supermarket, there is a brand new squat toilet.

It's not that he doesn't have brand new flush toilets in his space supermarket, but these things are currently a rare item in the entire city of Beijing. If he installed one in his home, it would attract too much attention.

To avoid trouble, I'll just install a squat toilet and make do.

Li Xiao's whole family worked together to clean both bedrooms in the main house.

Soon, Lu Yuan and Wang Xiuying, Li Xiao's two subordinates, had arranged for someone to transport their necessities over.

Li Xiao paired up his twenty subordinates, and they lived as husband and wife in public, which made things seem more normal.

Lu Yuan and Wang Xiuying, these two super soldiers, are now vendors in Beijing who specialize in selling fruits and vegetables.

Li Xiao's spatial supermarket is filled with a large quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are refreshed daily and can be described as inexhaustible.

To avoid suspicion, they would also regularly purchase goods from farmers who sold vegetables.

Lu Yuan and Wang Xiuying walked into the east courtyard, followed by seven or eight men carrying furniture, quilts, pots and pans, and other household items.

Li Xiao introduced Lu Yuan and his wife to his mother. Although Wang Xia didn't know when her son had met the two, she didn't ask any further questions.

She knew very well that her son was capable, and that she only needed to take care of the household affairs. As for the outside world, her eldest son would handle it.

Li Xiao helped these guys move all the commonly used furniture into the bedroom and living room.

Wang Xia went to the kitchen to put away the household items.

This time, Lu Yuan and Wang Xiuying also brought Li Xiao's family a lot of potatoes, Chinese cabbage, white radishes and other vegetables that are commonly used in winter. Of course, they also provided all the daily necessities such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and grain.

This time, the group of huskys even brought them a thousand kilograms of coal, specifically for cooking and heating.

Lu Yuan was carrying a piece of pork belly weighing at least five pounds and two slaughtered roosters. Liu Qianqian and Li Qian, the two little girls, happily took these mouthwatering meat dishes to the kitchen.
