Lu Erbai was very happy. This house was renovated by him bit by bit, and now seeing the family's surprise, he was more excited than anyone else.
He was familiar with the house, so he led everyone around, visiting each place.
"This side is the inverted house. The rooms in the inverted house are about the same size and are for the servants to live in. There are rooms for individuals and also for families. Our family doesn't have many servants, so there are quite a few empty rooms."
Everyone looked at several rooms, and they were quite large. A family living here could divide the space into two private rooms. Individual accommodations were like dormitories, with double rooms or large communal sleeping areas.
Lu Dasong and Madam Li saw these for the first time and felt that the rooms for the servants were even better than their own.
Lu Erbai continued onward; the front yard was a place for receiving guests and handling business.
