It's not much. Four rooms with a small courtyard would cost about ten taels of silver to rent in the capital. If the location was better, it could be twenty taels. But this is Yunnan Prefecture, which is much less developed than the capital. So the prices aren't that high.
The rent isn't very high.

When Kangxi returned from Mongolia, he didn't even see Youqing's body, but she was indeed gone. Although the Empress Dowager had punished a group of people before Kangxi's return, he was still upset and the Imperial Household Department was reorganized.
