As I've mentioned before, the Su Family is a noble house known for their poetry and literature, residing in an ancestral estate handed down by their forefathers. It's a grand courtyard home that rivals the size of Duke Zheng's Mansion; naturally, it is also a piece of Capital City's cultural heritage—the Siheyuan.
In front of the gate stand two stone lions, and poems hang from the pillars; the plaque reads 'Su Mansion,' exuding the scholarly aura of the place, yet also not without the solemn and weighty presence of officialdom.
It's inevitable that ancestors of the Su Family held high official ranks.
Studying wasn't just about passing on the family legacy; those who excelled in their studies would enter the imperial court...
Standing quietly at the grand gate, waiting yet occasionally scanning the surroundings, Su Ziyi resembled one of those noble scholars from many years past—only lacking the brocade clothes to compose poetry and paint.
