Immediately, Qiao Mai had someone prepare a courtyard for Nanny Jin. To avoid making Ling'er run back and forth, she had Ling'er, Yue Hong, and Yue Xia move to the same place. This arrangement was for Ling'er's convenience and also for taking care of Nanny Jin.
Nanny Jin stayed in the main building, while Ling'er and the two others resided in the east wing rooms. Qiao Mai also added two maidservants to Nanny Jin's courtyard.
Since it was Nanny Jin's courtyard, it was named Jin Garden.
There were six subsidiary courtyards: the three brothers had one, Nanny Jin and Ling'er had one, Old Mistress Wang had one, the guards had one, and two were used as storage.
Nanny Jin didn't feel like a stranger when she first arrived, and Ling'er also liked her. Ling'er guided her around the house.
