The courtyard arranged for the second branch was about the same size as Wen Wan and their Qingteng Residence, with a main house and east and west wing rooms.
Song Erlang and his wife lived in the main house, while Er Ya stayed in the wing.
This was Wen Wan's initial arrangement.
Knowing that Song Jiao had her own separate courtyard with maids to serve and a governess to educate her, Er Ya was unwilling to live in the wing, speaking sarcastically and was clearly dissatisfied with Wen Wan's arrangement.
Song Jiao suggested, "How about this? Er Ya can move to Tingsong Pavilion with me. Father and Mother can stay in this courtyard. If you miss them, you can come over and see them; it's the same."
"Who says it's the same?" Er Ya frowned, "If I move in with you, you're the owner of that courtyard, wouldn't I have to watch your mood all day?"
Song Jiao said, "We are sisters, why would you think that of me?"
