"Deyan Restaurant's roasted whole lamb is renowned, and I've made a special reservation. We'll roast it right there tomorrow. The shopkeeper just happened to acquire another deer today, so we can also savor roasted deer meat and braised deer tendons tomorrow! I consider myself fortunate to have arrived in the capital."
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan readily agreed. Qiao Xuan then added with a smile, "I'm available the day after tomorrow, so come over for dinner! I can prepare some dishes for you."
Zhao Shu was delighted and quickly accepted the invitation.
When they invited him to dine, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan treated him like a close friend. While Zhao Shu was not lacking in wealth, he lacked the backing of a powerful official, making many individuals covetous of his family's business.
Most importantly, throughout their interactions, he had genuinely grown fond of them, enjoying their company, and hoped they considered him a true friend.
