Actually, there were still many classmates and friends who didn't come today. However, those who didn't come were either unable to come today or weren't in Xinyuan County.
Take Fang Yiming, the county magistrate of Xinyuan County, for example. Although he was in Xinyuan County, there were too many things to do. Even Xiu Mu couldn't come to the banquet.
Pei Dongyu had already ordered people to decorate the front yard. There were many tables with decorations and gifts on them. There were also zither, chess, and other items available. They were scholars, and scholars usually gathered to play with these elegant items.
Jiang Yue followed the five gentlemen in. She was not surprised to see this.
When Master Pei saw Mister Zhang and the others, he quickly stood up and greeted them. Because Madam Pei was a woman, she was not in front.
Other than the maids who came to wait on them, none of the other women came.
