Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 205: Chapter 199 Birthday Feast, A House as Busy as a Marketplace

One day later, Yu Qingyi and her entourage arrived at Chongshan Pass, and six carriages stopped directly in front of the small courtyard gate of the Yang family within the pass city.

“Is this our family’s courtyard?” Yu Qingyi alighted from the carriage with the help of Qingxia, and curiously examined the small courtyard in front of her.

“Replying to the Marchioness, this is indeed the residence of our family in the pass city,” Ding Qiu quickly stepped forward to respond.

This courtyard was the one gifted by Zhou Lan. Although the Yang family did not reside here regularly these years, occasionally when members of the Yang family visited Chongshan Pass, someone would stay here for a few days.

Ordinarily, the courtyard was maintained by the servants of the Luo family, so it was very clean, and all kinds of necessities for daily life were prepared.

Although Yu Qingyi knew that the Yang family had a set of courtyards in Chongshan Pass, she had never visited before.

Everyone alighted from the carriages, and just as Ding Qiu was about to step forward to knock, the door opened from the inside.

“Ah, it turns out to be Housekeeper Ding!”

An elderly gentleman with graying hair stood inside, looking at Ding Qiu, his eyes pausing briefly.

This old gentleman was arranged by the Luo family to take care of the courtyard.

He had opened the door after hearing the noise outside.

Ding Qiu often accompanied the people of the Yang family to Chongshan Pass, so this old gentleman was familiar with Ding Qiu.

“Old An, the Marchioness and the two young ladies have arrived,” Ding Qiu nodded and greeted him while speaking.

The Marchioness and young ladies!

Old An was startled for a moment, then quickly looked towards the carriages outside the door, and just saw Yu Qingyi walking over surrounded by maids and matrons. He immediately pushed open the two doors widely, “This old servant greets the Marchioness!”

“Mm,” Yu Qingyi nodded at him amiably, then entered the courtyard guided by Ding Qiu.

The courtyard was not large but could accommodate thirty or forty people if squeezed together—of course, ‘squeezed’ not inside the main house but in the front courtyard and the back rooms.
