The family was in conversation when a young maid came in to report that a representative from Lord Du's mansion from the Provincial Administration Commissioner had come to deliver gifts and was already waiting at the front. Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang hurriedly got up and went to the front. Knowing that the visitor was Lord Du's son, who was also young and a scholar, they took Xiao Qi along. Although Xiao Qi was young, he had already begun learning from his father and brothers about hosting guests and visiting friends.
Since there were no women coming, Lian Manman and Lady Zhang weren't concerned and continued sitting on the kang, discussing the Double Ninth Festival gifts for each household.
When coming from Thirty Mile Camp, considering the upcoming Double Ninth Festival, Lian Manman had already prepared a gift list and brought many local products to give as gifts.
