This year is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, and during the hour of Shen, Jinghan had set up a banquet in the great hall of the front yard. She invited everyone from the mansion, along with Ziwen, Wenxuan, General Li, and others, to join the New Year's Eve feast together.
The place where they now resided was no longer the backyard of the county office but a house built afterwards. Zhendong had become Xizhou, and the state government office there was newly constructed. Xizhou, being a major city on the border, was very vast inside. Thus, Jinghan found an ideal location and built a new house to reside in with her family.
Since she couldn't return to her natal family this year, Jinghan suggested inviting everyone who had followed them over, whether they were servants of the mansion or stewards, to celebrate the New Year together. Over the years, several people had left the mansion, so this year it was a good opportunity for everyone to gather.
