They arrived at the Gu family's dining room. It was a typical European style large dining room. Two candelabras sat on the long mahogany table with two candlesticks. A grand chandelier was adorning the ceiling directly on top of the mahogany table.
When Guan Meiyi arrived at the dining hall, she happened to see Fang Hua carefully placing the cutlery. The maid beside was holding a tray with clean and shiny knives and forks on them. Fang Hua took out the cutlery from the tray and carefully placed them in front of each seat. When Guan Meiyi arrived, more than half of the cutlery were already in place.
The Gu family had very high requirements for dining etiquette. During the meal, each dish was accompanied by different type of cutlery, and a lot of cutlery were used. Moreover, the cutlery had to be arranged according to the standard cutlery. It was detailed to the extent of how many centimeters of space was between each cutlery.
