"With so many people, how are we going to accommodate them?" Jin Qianqian said, looking at the small courtyard they now owned. The escort agency had timed their arrival perfectly, getting here just before the city gates closed.
It was already dark, and there was nowhere to house so many people at once.
Housekeeper Fu said, "Madam, everyone has gotten used to sleeping in the carriages on the journey. Why don't we have them stay in the carriages tonight, and we can figure something out tomorrow?"
Jin Qianqian replied, "We don't need everyone to stay in the carriages. We can clear out two or three rooms here and in the shop's backyard. We'll leave some people in the carriages but let the elderly and children squeeze into the rooms for now."
As for Gu Lejia and his wife, who had been following them closely, Jin Qianqian casually pointed to a side room. "You two can rest there for now. But there's nothing in the room, so you'll have to bring your own bedding down from the carriage."
