"Fang'er, you've come?"
An aged voice called from within.
Hua Hongfang hurriedly responded, "Grandmother, your grandson has come to offer incense to our ancestors and also to seek your decision on a matter."
"Come in,"
the voice sounded again.
"Yes."
Ji Ruyan followed Hua Hongfang into the inner room, where the bright light made the interior furnishings clearly visible.
Old Madam Hua rose from her cushioned seat and said to Hua Hongfang, "And who might this be?"
"Grandmother, this is… a friend of your grandson's, who has specifically come to the capital to propose a marriage match for me. However, since marriage is an important affair, I hoped to have Grandmother judge if she is a suitable match."
Hua Hongfang intended to reveal Ji Ruyan's identity, but after a second thought, he amended his words to introduce her as a friend.
