Chapter 438 - 418 Yu Qingyi’s Surprise and Distress_2
Following closely behind, Yu Qingyi adjusted her dress and entered the Marquis Mansion.
Discussing the size of the Marquis Mansion, it wasn’t actually very large, covering just over fifty acres.
According to the standards of Da Rong, the cities where kings reside span nine miles, those of dukes and marquises only three miles, and those of earls between one and two miles.
This ’mile’ refers to the perimeter of the residence.
So, if the perimeter of a duke or marquis’s residence is three miles, then the maximum area could be close to two hundred acres.
If outside the Capital City, building such a large mansion would naturally pose no problem, but inside the Capital City, constructing such a large mansion is simply impossible.
The residences of dukes and marquises within the Capital City usually range between thirty to fifty acres, Marquis Jing’an Mansion being this large benefited from the advantage of the former Marquis Wuxin Mansion.
For Marquis Wuxin Mansion was the former Duke Xin, built on the scale of the Duke Mansion, hence it is much larger than other marquis mansions.
After entering the Marquis Mansion, Yu Qingyi observed the elaborately carved pavilions and the scenic step-by-step landscapes, reminiscent of Granny Liu’s visit to the Grand View Garden.
A group walked around the Marquis Mansion for over two hours before reaching the main courtyard house.
