"That would be appreciated," Lian Manman said with a smile.
After they had arranged for the delivery of the message, several people left Shi Mansion and returned to Jisheng Hall. Shopkeeper Wang welcomed them in.
"The meal is ready. Young Owner, should we start eating? ... I've already sent the errands to deliver the message to Lian's, and Fourth Master Lian and Fourth Madam Lian also had the errands bring a basket of salted duck eggs over..."
Lian Manman chuckled to herself, wondering when it had started that Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang of Thirty Mile Camp had gradually become known as Fourth Master Lian and Fourth Madam Lian to everyone.
Wang Youheng had someone set up the meal on the stone table in the courtyard. After an errand came to bring clean water, everyone washed up and then gathered around the table to sit.
