The outcome was deemed fair by all, with no disputes over the distribution. Lord and Madam received only a small portion, ensuring most of the spoils were shared among everyone else. There was little else to be said.
Furthermore, the discovery of such a fruitful hunting ground meant they could return for more in the future.
Qiao Xuan and the others generously provided a portion to the servants, allowing each of them to enjoy a few bites. However, Lixia, Songshi, and the other stewards were excluded from this share. Instead, Deputy Prefect Jia, along with Lixia and Songshi, received two portions.
Regrettably, none of the remaining scribes received any portion.
With half of the spoils remaining, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were left with a manageable amount, aided by the cold weather allowing for preservation of the sutras, pheasants, rabbits, and wild ducks.
The fresh and succulent venison was processed into meat paste and used to cook porridge, pleasing Anan as well.
