Xiao Yeyang had been keeping an eye on Daohua and, seeing that the recent disturbance hadn't affected her, he retracted his gaze and looked down towards the estuary below.
At this moment, the Dragon Boat Race had begun, with over ten dragon boats striving hard to sail across the surface of the river.
When officials gathered together, they couldn't help but show off their knowledge, and with everyone bringing their younger family members this time, someone suggested that the youngsters write thematic poems for others to assess.
This suggestion was met with unanimous approval, and soon, the sounds of reciting poetry emanated from the men's side.
Seeing the men's side bustling with activity, Madam Guo suggested that the young ladies present should also write poems.
Since this was an opportunity for the girls to show their faces, naturally, none of the madams declined.
Only Madam Li and Madam Dong gave their daughters a discreet glance.
