Chapter 545 - 536: Transparency
The old Marquis Chu Guangche moved out of Anrong Hall when he was fifteen and moved into Jin Court in the outer court. Then, he began to renovate Anrong Hall. The first, second and third houses didn’t need renovation, only the furniture in the main room of the third house needed to be changed. The key was that the fourth and fifth houses needed to be renovated.
In the future, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu would live in the third house, their two young brothers would live in the fourth house, and Chu Hanyan and Yu’er would live in the fifth house.
Chu Hanyan, as a grown girl, should have her own courtyard, but she clearly didn’t want to. Chen Afu also wanted to keep her around to learn more about the world, so she let her be until she turned twelve and then live separately.
There is no north room in the fourth house, only the east and west rooms. Yu lived in the east room and Ming lived in the west room.
Chu Hanyan and Yu’er both lived in the back rooms of the fifth house, the middle hall was shared by both. The east room was Chu Hanyan’s bedroom, and the east side room was her living and study room. The west room was Yu’er’s bedroom, and the west side room was her living room.
A few lilac trees were planted in the courtyard of the second house, so it was called Lilac Hall, specifically for entertaining guests, or for dining when there were important matters at home.
Anrong Hall alone was so big, let alone the whole Yong’an Marquis Manor. When the three families moved out, such a large house had only one family left, which was too spacious. Even if the old Marquis and old master occasionally returned to the mansion to live, they would not take up much room.
In this life and the last one, Chen Afu was worried about her house being too big for the first time. When she thought of He Royal Mansion, which was even larger, and that Shiyi was living there alone, Chen Afu felt even more distressed.
