After one o'clock in the afternoon, people from the eight great patrician families started entering the palace in succession.
At the same time, the people from the Luo Family Troupe were also let in from the side gate to prepare for the start of the opera at 1:30.
Everyone was smoothly making their way toward Clearwater Fine Park. When the madams with mandates heard that the Luo Family Troupe had been invited this time around, they instantly became a bit more interested.
On the other hand, since the noble ladies didn't really like watching operas, the elders had the maidservants follow their misses as they strolled about Clearwater Fine Park on their own.
Recently, the Luo Family Troupe had become all the rage in the capital. This was particularly so during the new year, when all the great patrician families wanted to hold banquets, which couldn't dispense with hiring a theatrical troupe to put on a show with operas and acrobatics .
