It was already noon when Tang Han walked out of the Imperial Capital University. He ate a bowl of fried noodles and then started strolling around the school, preparing to find a house to settle his residence first.

It has been almost a month since school started, and all the houses around the school have been rented out. Tang Han has seen several houses along the way, but they are all very dissatisfied.

He walked forward for a while, suddenly his vision widened, and the tall buildings disappeared, and what he saw was a courtyard residential area in front of him.

The imperial capital is a kind of courtyard building, the so-called courtyard building, which is a courtyard building with houses on all sides of the courtyard. The four-house houses are the courtyard in the center, and this is the courtyard building.

Rich families can build three or four courtyards to connect front and back. Plant flowers, fruits and trees in the courtyard for viewing.

The large courtyard house is surrounded by walls from the outside, and all have tall walls without opening windows, showing a defensiveness.

With such a building structure, the whole family is very comfortable in the courtyard. The door is closed at night and is very quiet, suitable for a family-centered reunion life.

During the day, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are very beautiful, with flowers fragrant at night and the air fresh. At night, the family sits in the yard to cool off, rest, chat, drink tea, and have fun together. The family talks about what outsiders can’t see in the yard. This is in line with the habits of Chinese people.

The most representative residential building in the Qing Dynasty was the palace-style house, which was the large and medium-sized courtyard house where bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy businessmen lived. It can also be said that the Qing Dynasty was the peak period of the development of courtyard houses in the imperial capital.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has gradually become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and the development of the imperial capital Siheyuan has also begun to decline gradually.

The Japanese invasion of China caused great changes in Chinese society, and the economic conditions of citizens were getting worse and worse. Many residents who used to live in separate courtyards were no longer able to maintain more houses, so they had to rent out their excess houses and subsidize their lives with rent.

Residents have fewer and fewer houses, and there are more and more tenants in the courtyard. The unique courtyard house has begun to become a large courtyard house with multiple families, and the living nature of the courtyard house has changed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been fundamental changes in the use of traditional courtyards in the imperial capital.

Due to the change of ownership, many royal palaces left by officials and nobles in the Qing Dynasty changed from private property to public property. They were no longer occupied by the aristocrats of the past, but instead became state public housing.

Those courtyards that are still used as residential buildings are no longer exclusively occupied and have become "large courtyards" for multiple families. These changes in uses make it difficult for the courtyards to maintain their former depth, tranquility, elegance and warmth. The courtyards have been divided, transformed, and divided into common phenomena.

What the Tang and Han saw was a complex of courtyards. During the Qing Dynasty, this place belonged to the central city and was generally lived by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Walking in the alley surrounded by high walls and courtyards, feeling the quiet atmosphere of life, Tang Han thought it would be nice if he lived here.

Moreover, Tang Han discovered that the construction of Siheyuan was extremely particular about Feng Shui. From the selection of places, positioning to determining the specific scale of each building, it was in line with the traditional Chinese Feng Shui method.

At the entrance of the alley, you can often see some people sitting under a big tree playing cards and chess. When neighbors walked by, they said "What have you eaten?", which made Tang Han feel very warm.

It would be nice if he could live here. Tang Han was moved by the Siheyuan. However, after inquiring about several places, the property rights were completely private and no one sold them. The common ones were filled with all kinds of residents and could not be sold.

There are many people who rent it out, but they are all shared rents. Tang Han cannot accept it. There are too many outsiders to be inconvenient for his cultivation and life.

He was walking around the alley, and an old man came from the front, looking like he was in his sixties.

The old man looked sad and sighed all the way, as if he had encountered something upset.

Not far from Tang Han, the old man suddenly stopped, then raised his hand to hold his chest, looked painful, and then fell to the ground with a plop.

The old man's face turned pale and his mouth was drooling. It seemed that he had a disease.

"Isn't this an old golden head? Why did you fall this?"

"Is it a heart disease? No wonder anyone who encounters this trouble will get sick."

"You know me, please help me quickly." A person who watched the fun said.

"I don't dare. This old man and his children are all abroad, and he is the only one in China. If there is a problem, I can't explain clearly. Last year, I helped an old lady and paid more than 30,000 yuan to go out..."

There are many people in the alley, and it seems that some people know old men. However, when they encounter old men falling to the ground, no one dares to come forward to help them. They are all pointing fingers and commenting on their heads, but no one has reached out to help.

"Everyone let me go, I'll take a look!"

Tang Han said as he separated the crowd and walked in. He looked at the old man, and he was so angry that he had a heart attack caused by his anger. If he was not rescued in time, he would be in danger of his life.

"Young man, you have to be careful. It's not easy to be a good person these days, and if you don't do it properly, you will lose everything."

An old lady pulled the corner of Tang Han's clothes and said.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm a doctor, and this is also a life. We can't just watch it, right? I think there are still many good people now."

Tang Han said as he took out the needle bag from his pocket and stepped forward to give the old man a needle.

"Yes, the guy is right, there are still many good people."

"Old Jintou is a good person, let's help too."

"Young man, don't worry. If something really happens, we will help you testify. It was the old golden head who fell down by himself."

Infected by Tang Han, the crowd began to talk, and several people came up to help.

The old man's illness was a trivial matter in front of Tang Han. He first used a golden needle to help the old man clear his heart, and then relieved his anger. Soon, the old man's gray face slowly returned to rosy, and his rapid breathing became stable.

"Okay, the old golden head is fine..."

"Young man is so good, his medical skills are amazing."

A burst of praise came to mind in the crowd.

Soon the old man regained his mind, and he slowly opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"Old Jintou, you have a heart attack. You fell here. This guy saved you."

Old Jintou sat up from the ground, looked at Tang Han, and said gratefully: "Young man, thank you so much."

Tang Han helped the old Jintou up, "Mr. Jin, you just happened to find a place to rest for a while."

"Young man, I'm fine. My illness is coming and going. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you just now, I would have died." Old Jintou pulled Tang Han and said, "Let's go, my house is right in front. Go and have a tea at my house."

Old Jintou said, pulling Tang Han up and walking forward. Tang Han was also worried that the old man would have any accidents, so he helped him take him home.

Lao Jintou's house is not far from here. It is a relatively well-preserved medium-sized courtyard. There are almost a dozen families living in the courtyard. After seeing Lao Jintou, they greeted each other. However, strangely, Lao Jintou seemed to have no good attitude towards these neighbors and ignored them.

After entering the yard, the old man let Tang Han into the main room and was busy pouring water for him to get fruit.

"Mr. Jin, your house is good."

Tang Han looked at the old man's house. This should be the best one in this courtyard, and the decoration inside the house was also good.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old golden head sighed and said with a sad face: "Don't mention the young man. If it weren't for the trouble in this house, my old man wouldn't have been sick today."

After listening to Lao Jintou's words, Tang Han spread his spiritual senses and checked the entire courtyard. The layout here is very particular, which is in line with the requirements of Feng Shui and mysterious techniques, which is very good.

"Uncle, this house is good, no problem."
