This novel is set in a Chinese village before World War One.
Today is the protagonist Wang Lung's wedding day.
He is about to go home from so big a house with his bride-to-be, who was a maid at the big house.
................................
Then she led the way through a small unused court that was grown up with weed, its pool choked, and there under a bent tree was an old roung gate that she pulled loose from its bar, and they went through and into the street.
<The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck>
I'd like to know what "weed grew up a court" or "something grew up a court with weed" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.
