In the middle of the garden was a small pond with a small stone bridge above it. On the other side of the stone bridge was a pavilion, and the original east wall had been built into a row of buildings because it faced the river. After entering, there were viewing galleries and other buildings.
Third Lady was sitting at a small stone table in the pavilion. In front of her was an account book, and she was checking it carefully with Xiuhe helping by the side. She looked like the eldest madam in charge of the residence.
Ye Jingtang walked over the small bridge to the pavilion. He smiled and said, "Third Lady, I'm afraid this residence is a bit big. There are only three of us. Just tidying up will tire us out."
