Chapter 141: Acceptance
As the two of them spoke, they came to Duan Dehai's General Tower.
This is a villa building specially built for generals, nicknamed the General Tower.
Duan Dehai was standing at the door to greet him, and Zhang Lang hurried forward to say hello, "Grandpa Duan, how can you come out to greet him!"
"Ha...haha! I'm fine if I stay at home! Come out and do activities!" Duan Dehai's voice was still loud.
"Let's go! Come into the house, your grandma Duan has cooked you something delicious!" Duan Dehai took Zhang Lang's hand and walked in.
After living in Xilong Villa for more than two months, it can be said that Zhang Lang lived in Zhang Lang, and even the tiger bone wine that he treated his wife was brought by Zhang Lang.
Duan Dehai felt that he owed him a great favor, and he always wanted to entertain him well when Zhang Lang came to the capital to show his gratitude.
"Grandpa Duan, I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. This is a jar of tiger bone wine and a jar of deer blood wine. Don't dislike it!" Zhang Lang handed the gift to Duan Hu next to him.
"Come on here! What else do you have to bring?" That's what, but Duan Dehai's smile on his face became even more intense.
He knew that tiger bone wine and deer blood wine were all good things, which not only cure wind and cold, but also replenish qi and blood.
My precious grandson, because I was delayed, has these two jars of wine, although I cannot make up for the foundation of my youth, I can make up for it.
He enthusiastically let Zhang Lang into me, "Little Huzi, go and soak the tea I took back from the leader!"
"Okay!" Duan Hu agreed and ran to Duan Dehai's study to look for tea.
"The wolf cub is here!" Duan Dehai's wife also walked out of the kitchen to greet Zhang Lang.
"Hello Grandma Duan, are your legs better?" Zhang Lang hurriedly stood up and said hello.
Duan Dehai's wife slapped her legs with her hands and said, "It's much better, I'm so excited to walk! I won't feel uncomfortable when I sleep at night."
"That's good! I brought another jar of tiger bone wine. You drink it every day. After you finish drinking, let Hu Zi go and ask me for it!"
…………
The enthusiasm of Duan Dehai and his family made Zhang Lang feel a little uncomfortable and a little flattered.
The tea given by Duan Dehai was given by the leader, and after Duan Hu had soaked it, he realized that it was the legendary Dahongpao.
This is a tribute, and it produces a little every year, and only a few people in the country can drink it.
After lunch, Zhang Lang told him about asking Duan Dehai to help him get married in advance at the Tang family.
Duan Dehai naturally agreed and immediately ran into the study, found a perpetual calendar, and started to check the days, "Wolf cub, I think tomorrow will be a good day! Then I will go and propose marriage for you tomorrow!"
"Okay, Grandpa Duan, please see what the arrangement is! My parents are far away and I can't get through. I can only trouble you, Grandpa Duan." Zhang Lang handed Duan the prepared Geng Tie to Duan Dehai with both hands.
This has saved a lot compared to ancient rituals.
The ancient rituals focused on the three books and six rituals. The three books refer to: the letter of appointment, the rituals and the welcome letter. The six rituals are Nacai, Ask for Names, Naji, Nazheng, and ask for a marriage to welcome the marriage.
Tomorrow Duan Dehai will go to propose marriage, which is actually the Nacai in the Six Lessons.
However, with the development of the times, it has been simplified a lot. For example, the ancient rites need matchmakers to come forward for the proposal tomorrow.
Now it has been changed to a prestigious person who comes forward to propose marriage to show respect for the woman and set the date of engagement based on the birth date of the man and the woman.
That is, the Nazheng among the Six Rites is also called the Great Li.
It is the man who delivered the letter of appointment and the bride price to the woman's house.
The marriage was confirmed only at this point.
After the serious matter was said, Zhang Lang refused Duan Dehai's attempt to stay and said goodbye to leave.
The guards have come to see them twice, and it will be annoying if they don’t leave.
The elderly need a lunch break. Zhang Lang continued to stay here, which will only affect Duan Dehai and his wife's lunch break.
Duan Hu also followed Zhang Lang away from the military yard, and he wanted to take Zhang Lang to see the yard.
Duan Hu rode a bicycle with 28 bars and carried Zhang Lang and walked towards the back sea.
The country has just reformed and opened up, and it would be great if a third-generation red generation like Duan Hu could have a bicycle.
First, he came to Ya'er Hutong. Under Duan Hu's leadership, Zhang Lang walked into the courtyard.
The yard was originally a warehouse of a unit and it was well preserved!
At least there is no random construction.
"Brother, is this yard OK?"
Zhang Lang wandered around the courtyard and nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Duan Hu took Zhang Lang to Xiaojinsi Hutong. The courtyard here is larger than the one just now. It is also a yard with three in and three out, but there is also a large back garden behind it.
The garden has an area of more than 1,000 square meters after visual metering.
Of course, the back garden has also been built on the house.
This is also the case not only in the back garden, but also in the front three yards. The whole yard looks very crowded and messy.
Zhang Lang also understood that the houses in Beijing were still relatively tense, how could the family of five and six live in two or three houses?
What to do? Build yourself in the yard with your own place.
Seeing Zhang Lang and Duan Hu looking around in the yard, the residents of the Siheyuan looked at them vigilantly.
An aunt came over and asked, "Who are you looking for? What are you doing?"
Zhang Lang did not answer and asked back, "Auntie, how many families live in this yard?"
Perhaps seeing Zhang Lang's handsome appearance, the aunt told him the situation in the yard very readily, "What about this yard? There are thirty-eight families living in this yard, and there are more than one hundred and forty people!"
Zhang Lang was shocked. The large courtyard house with three entrances and three exits was only more than forty houses, and there were actually so many families living in. "So many people! Are they open?"
The aunt was washing clothes just now, rubbing her hands on her body and chatting with Zhang Lang, "Then you can live there! Isn't that possible! I can only make do with it! I always have a burrow."
"Yes! There must be a burrow!" Zhang Lang repeated with emotion.
…………
After chatting with the aunt for a while, Zhang Lang asked, "Auntie? If the country gives you money and asks you to move out and find a place to live, would you like?"
"Of course I'm willing, but there's a way, who's willing to squeeze in here! By the way, young man, what are you doing?"
"Auntie, I am a cultural relics work. The courtyards here are all left by our ancestors! They are of great research value and should be protected! This matter has not been decided yet, so don't spread it to the outside!" Zhang Lang explained.
The aunt patted her chest and promised, "Young man, don't worry, the aunt's mouth is the strictest, and I promise not to spread it to the outside."
After chatting with the aunt for a while, Zhang Lang took Duan Hu away from the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhang Lang told Duan Hu: "Huzi, go and contact me! I bought this yard, the left and right yards, and the yard behind! Money is not a problem."
Duan Hu made a mistake. This is not a yard with three in and three out. This is a large yard with five in and five out. Moreover, the two yards on the left and right are also one of this.
The back garden Duan Hu mentioned is not the back garden but the middle garden.
