"Mingyu, come in and talk. We can hardly recognize you looking like this," Wenhan said, hurriedly ushering Mingyu and his party into the courtyard.
Mingyu looked back at the people behind him. "Bring in the things prepared for my elder brother and me," he instructed.
The people behind responded affirmatively and then set about bringing things down. Wenhan quickly had the house servants and Kangping, the son of the Li family, help carry the items down, and meanwhile, he directed those people to rest in the adjacent room. Wenhan couldn't help but sigh; the house seemed a little short on space. With so many visitors, it was barely enough.
