Zhulan and Zhou Shuren exchanged a glance; they had been discussing in private and thought that the Qian family would have come yesterday. Unexpectedly, they did not come, but upon further thought, the Qian family likely needed some days to investigate the Zhou family. Today, however, they have already arrived at the doorstep.
Their visit today must mean that they have finished their investigation. It seems that this Qian steward has his own skills in gathering information, managing to find out everything in just one day!
The steward of a merchant's family mingles with all sorts of people, much more diverse than a steward from an official's family would!
Elder Zhou came back from the front yard first to report the news, while Second Zhou was welcoming the guests in.
