Lunch was served outdoors overlooking the Gu estate's expansive garden. There were at least 7 different dishes on the table: braised pork belly, mapo tofu, shredded pork with garlic sauce, stirred egg and tomato, vegetable stir fry, and beef bone soup. Mother Qin also prepared Old Madam Gu's favorite snow fungus dessert soup as well as mung bean cake for the children.
Gu Han, his second wife Song Rui and daughter Gu Lan are currently on a two week overseas family trip in Italy. So only Gu YuChen and Old Madam Gu joined from the Gu Family and overall it was a pleasant meal. Father Su and Mother Qin would exchange lighthearted stories with the old madam while both Su Ning and Gu YuChen focused on eating. Su Ning could tell that Young Master Gu really enjoyed Mother Qin's cooking. In contrast to Su Ning who eats like a rabbit, her cheeks bulging with food, Gu YuChen eats his meal elegantly at a steady pace.
