In the end, only Pei Qian and Zhou Hengchang hit it off. With Wei Qing egging them on, the three of them actually planned to meet for a drink afterwards.
Although Lu Ze didn't stop them, he didn't intend to join them. He stood up and bid farewell. Then, he brought Lin Suisui out of the private room and went downstairs to get into the carriage to go home.
Just as Pei Qian had said, because he had to investigate military affairs recently, Lu Ze began to stay outside all day long.
However, because Lin Suisui had something to deal with, she didn't feel bored. In the blink of an eye, there were only two days left until New Year's Eve.
Mrs. Song had already arranged for someone to clean up the house. Even Pei Qian's house was cleaned after Pei Qian's shameless request.
The remaining things that needed to be prepared were the couplets and talismans that were to be plastered on the house that day.
