章 388: Chapter 384: The Odd Gatekeeper Uncle

```

Uncle Tong sat on a trove of valuable items, when clearly he could make a fortune just by selling one set.

Yet he preferred to live in modesty, guarding every item in this house without complaint or regret.

Why was that?

Huo Sining puzzled about this. Could it really be just because her father had shown kindness to Uncle Tong, helping him in his time of need, and now he sought to repay the debt?

Huo Sining looked through several bedrooms, observing not only the antique furniture but also the layout and purpose of each room.

She soon had an overall understanding of the residence.

Indeed, it was a complete siheyuan, composed of three courtyards arranged along a north-south axis, including a reverse-facing room, Chuihuamen, main hall, main house, and back house.

Each courtyard complex included east and west wing rooms, with side rooms flanking the main hall, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by a veranda that ran through it.
