Changsheng's wife laughed and said, "Sister Afu is really handsome, unlike our country folks." Her voice was clear and loud, her laughter bright. She was indeed a vivacious woman.
Chen Afu's impression of her lightened immediately. She laughed too, saying "Sister Wu, now that you know the way, come visit us often. My mum and I get along with big sister Wu. Most of the furniture in our house was made by Uncle Wu, big brother Wu and second brother Wu."
Changsheng's wife agreed, her laughter echoing around the room.
Then, Madam Luo, Luo Yuan, Mrs. Wei, and Luo Mingcheng arrived. Because Luo Mei was on duty, she would come with Miss Chu. Following them, a few servants from Tang Garden arrived, including two children who often played with Dabao.
The guests went to the east wing, the men gathered in the main hall, and the women in side halls.
