Chapter 76 Ganef’s bad start The house had double entry and double exit. The first and second entrances were to the spacious and bright main hall and main room. East and west wings each had three rooms. The second entry area was slightly larger. It had Su Family's study, storeroom, and two small compound houses. Inside one compound house were two obvious and two hidden rooms. Everywhere in the house was paved with flat bluestone slabs. Even if it was raining, there was no fear of getting muddy. Several rooms had glazed windows that cost a lot of money. Although they were a bit more expensive, the light was obviously much better.
You Jin didn't have much research on ancient time architecture. While Zhao Er, he had once built a house for a wealthy family. So You Jin handed this over to Zhao Er and Yu Lan. The final product was satisfactory to You Jin. In the first entry yard, only four one-person-high white magnolia trees were planted. The surroundings were flat. While in the second yard, a few red plums, sweet-scented osmanthus, and two clumps of plantains were planted. The winding cobblestones were around the courtyard with a view every three steps. A pavilion was very elegantly built in the courtyard. In Yu Lan’s words: "Appreciate peaches in spring, rain in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and snow in winter." ". These saplings were all readily provided by Su Family. It didn't cost much money. Because the place was adequately huge, whether it was the parlor, the girl’s boudoir or the storeroom, they were large enough. After the house was built, a total of one hundred and forty silver liang was spent. Including the new furniture purchased, the total cost was two hundred liang.
