Tomorrow was the first day of August, and it was the official day for the Prince of Yizhou's banquet. Manbao had been waiting for Yin Huo to come for treatment and had not gone home to check if her flowers had been sold. Once she returned home, she hurried to the backyard to find Zhou Wulang.
Mr. Zhuang saw her circling around and about to dash out again, so he stopped her, saying, "Fifth Brother sold the flowers and brought back a pot of antique roses, saying that the Prince of Yizhou's residence mentioned that good things should come in pairs, and they wanted another pot."
"Did they force the purchase?"
Mr. Zhuang pointed to her room and said, "Fifth Brother has already brought the silver back. Go count it yourself."
Manbao then called Bai Shan to count the silver with her.
Bai Shan didn't want to go. After all, it wasn't his money. What was the point of counting it?
