Chen Kuang was momentarily stunned, then softly responded, "Hmm."
Gan Tang beamed with joy, pulling him to tour the entire Chen Mansion, telling him that his room had always been kept aside, and she would clean it once every month.
This room was located in the East Wing, a separate courtyard, evidently reserved for the esteemed eldest son.
In wealthy households, the layout of rooms was subject to strict rules; the East Wing Room was generally given to the eldest son. If the family was prosperous and there were not enough rooms, the young masters stayed in the East Wing, and the young ladies in the West Wing.
For example, the well-known story of Wang Xizhi, the famous son-in-law, wasn't about him lying on a bed in the east, but rather being in the East Wing Room's bed.
Otherwise, could it be that the Wang Family, who ruled the world with Wang and Ma, lived in a shared room and had to divide it into east and west beds? Clearly unreasonable.
