A large-scale construction project was carried out in Beijia Village, including the construction of courtyards, new houses, halls, and study rooms, all of which were extremely magnificent. There was a couplet written by the famous calligrapher Xu Run on the newly built hall of Hou's family:
It's easy to study well and do business as well as learn well
It's hard to start a business and it's hard to know whether it's going to be successful< /p>
Hou Peiyu only lived to be thirty-six years old. After his death, his son Hou Yinchang took charge of the Hou family's business. Because Hou Peiyu was a member of the Sanmen family, people used to call him "Sanzhai" and the name of the hall was "Jiurutang".
