On the first day of the New Year, Su Liang and Gu Ling both slept until approaching noon, and then made dumplings together.
On the second day, early in the morning, the King Yue Mansion sent people to invite Gu Ling and Su Liang to attend today's family banquet. According to tradition, the married daughter should return to her maiden home; since Gu Ling's mother was no longer present, they asked him to join the reunion. But Gu Ling declined.
On the third day, someone from the palace came to bring a celebratory robe for Gu Ling to try on. There was still time to make any necessary adjustments if it didn't fit.
Gu Ling went into the room by himself, and after a while, he came out, saying that he had tried it on, and it fitted very well.
But Su Liang suspected that he hadn't worn it at all.
