With the new house in the county town, Su Hu gave up the guest room, and took his children to live in the new house.
The new residence had seven rooms. Under Grandma Wang's advice, Su Hu and his family followed the layout of a wealthy family, separating the front and rear courtyards. Su Hu and Su Zixuan lived in the front yard, while Li Xiu'e and the girls lived in the back yard.
Su Ziqin studied in the county town all year round. It was not easy to pass the County Examination; one needed to study hard and stay up late. The ventilation and brightness of the room were very important.
Li Xiu'e loved her daughter and arranged for her to have the spacious south-facing room with the morning sun to make her living conditions as comfortable as possible.
Su Qingluo was tender and adorable. She was the darling of her parents and could not be aggrieved in the slightest.
