Chapter 268 - 176 The Same Name and Surname_2
No matter how the family tried to persuade her, she just cried and shook her head.
Having no other choice, the whole family had to stay here with her.
The small courtyard they were living in would not be demolished first; other areas would be constructed first.
After planning, a Siheyuan was to be built right in front of the small courtyard, level with it on the east side. It would serve as the front courtyard, where Qian Sangui would handle official affairs, arrange work, and receive guests in the future, and the main entrance would also be located there.
The courtyard they were residing in then would be the place for Qian Sangui and Lady Wu to live, considered the main courtyard.
Between the main courtyard and the front courtyard was a wall, and beyond a narrow strip of flowers and plants were three smaller courtyards.
Inside the middle courtyard, a small building would be erected, which was the Embroidery Building that Qian Yixiu dearly desired to build for her mother. She also made clear that the floors of the Embroidery Building should be slightly higher to facilitate a far-reaching view.
The other two courtyards were not large, with only three main rooms and three side rooms each. These two small courtyards were being built for Qian Manxia and Qian Yixiu.
Qian Yixiu had long chosen the small courtyard next to West Lake, given its proximity to the water. She didn’t like the sense of a deep and enclosed courtyard, but from this courtyard, she could step out and see the vast West Lake and Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in the distance.
