Meng Zhaojun didn't dwell on the decision for long and had the housekeeper bring the carriage to Ye's Mansion with them. This visit was just a brief check on her own estate, but her main purpose was to accompany Tang Shunyan.
The arrival of the Meng family brought even more liveliness. With their presence, Mrs. Li, as the hostess, wouldn't neglect arranging a meal for her guests like the last time.
So, she had her younger brother arrange for people to catch chickens, ducks, and geese, preparing a series of dishes. Today, Ye Jia would entertain the guests.
The entertainment wasn't at the estate; Mrs. Li's brother, the estate housekeeper, had people slaughter chickens, ducks, and geese, and then pick melons and fruits to send all these dishes to the Ye family, where the Ye family's chefs would prepare a grand banquet to entertain the guests at noon.
