Chapter 1031 The Lu Family's Studio
Lu Erbai was very happy. He had led the team to renovate the house bit by bit, and now seeing his family members' faces full of surprise, he was more excited than anyone else.
He was familiar with the house, so he led everyone around to different parts of it.
"This is the back room. The rooms in the back room are all about the same size and are for the servants to live in. Some are for one person, and some are for a family. We don't have many servants, so there are still quite a few rooms available."
The group looked at several rooms, all of which were quite large. A family could have two separate rooms. The rooms for individuals were like dormitories, with both double rooms and large shared rooms.
When Lu Dasong and Li Shi first saw it, they felt that even the servants' rooms were better than their own.
Lu Erbai continued walking inside; the front yard was used for receiving guests and working.
Because the Lu family members all have their own things to do, their lifestyle is different from that of ordinary families.
There's basically not much difference between the main house, side rooms, east and west wing rooms, etc.
Lu Erbai wanted to do carpentry work, so a workshop was specially set up for him in the left wing. Of course, he wouldn't do any hammering or banging work at home, but he would occasionally draw blueprints, read books, and carve small objects. It wouldn't make any noise, but it was a private space where he could fully express himself.
Ruan and Shuyou make clothes, and they have two rooms specifically for storing samples. When they have inspiration, they can discuss and create patterns in those rooms.
Shu Yu has a large study and a large living room, where she has even more to do. After the sunflowers are planted, she'll have to figure out how to roast the sunflower seeds and press them for oil, and she'll also need to hire a manager and helpers.
The reception room was a place specifically for meeting guests, reconciling accounts, and... occasionally holding meetings.
There are also Arui and Aning, who each have their own study.
Even the old lady has a room specifically for storing her dolls.
Everyone had everything arranged perfectly, leaving the first and third wives in awe.
This is just the front yard; the central courtyard of the siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) also has several trees and a row of potted plants.
After passing the main building, the rear building is behind it.
The rear building is close to the backyard, so it can also serve as a guest room, with quite a few rooms.
Lu Erbai said to Lu Dasong and the others, "Today is a good day for moving, so please stay here tonight, elder brother and sister-in-law."
On the first day of moving, we need to warm the house and add more people to the house.
Lu Dasong was naturally delighted, and Li Shi also became slightly excited. The house looked really nice; she almost wanted to stay there forever.
Lu Sanzhu immediately chimed in, "Second Brother, our family will stay here tonight too. Your new house is so big, it'll be more lively with more people. How about we brothers have a few drinks tonight, and... you know, have a long talk by candlelight?"
You've arranged everything perfectly.
Lu Erbai chuckled and nodded readily.
Since the eldest and third wives stayed, the fourth sister's family naturally joined them as well.
As they spoke, the group walked through the hanging flower gate and entered the backyard.
The backyard is the living area of the second branch of the Lu family, and it is much larger than the front yard.
The pond not far away has been filled with water, and the lotus flowers have been transplanted there. At this time of year, the flower buds are just beginning to emerge.
Ah Ning excitedly ran onto the connecting bridge in the middle and waved to Xiao Zhen and the others, saying, "Come and see, there are fish here."
There were quite a few children in the family, and apart from Quan Quan, who still needed someone to hold his hand, everyone else went over to see them.
