Ting Lan Courtyard was a guest residence in the front courtyard. Xia Tao led two strong old maids into the courtyard.
Although the four of them were all farmers, they were obedient and did not speak much along the way. One of them, the tallest and strongest one, was called Zhou Yongtian, and he was the leader. The other three followed his instructions.
Xia Tao turned around and instructed the two old maids beside her, "Bring some food and wine over. The few of you must be a little hungry from the long journey."
The moment they heard the word "food and wine", the eyes of the other three lit up.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Yongtian frowned and said, "All of you, be careful. If you accidentally interfere with Steward Zhou's matters, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Upon hearing this, they all agreed.
Not long after, two old maids brought over two jars of wine and seven or eight dishes.
