Ling Zhenfei followed Xue Mingtang, and Xue Mingtang said, "The place you were just now was the front courtyard, it's for receiving guests. This is the middle courtyard, which is where I live."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't know who designed this yard. Whether it's the front or back courtyard, or the trees planted out front, I really like them all. It's very elegant."
Xue Mingtang laughed and said, "To be honest, everything here was designed by my wife herself. She personally drew the design plans, and even the trees were chosen by her."
Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised and said, "I never expected your esteemed wife to be such a great designer. I wonder where she is now. Could you bring her out so I can meet this great designer?"
Xue Mingtang said, "My wife is not in good health and is resting in the small building in the back courtyard. She enjoys the quiet, so let's not disturb her."
