Ying Wenhai thought about it and realized that if, according to Manager Ying's words, Ji Hao survived and seemed to be recovering quite well, he too should be able to go out before long. Thus he no longer stayed silent, keeping things to himself.
He said, "Ji Hao has a damn foul mouth."
The County Magistrate Tang nodded, not disputing this point at all.
So their first feud began three years ago during their first meeting, both being descendants of the gentry, keeping within the same social circle. Ji Hao, attending to his grandmother, returned to his hometown to recuperate from illness, and they naturally bumped into each other.
Their first encounter was at Old Madam Ying's birthday banquet, where Ying Wenhai, dressed for the festive occasion, wore a bright red garment.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, clad in bright red, with a complexion pale as jade, looked quite charming.
