The cold noodles at noon were rinsed in ice water, which relieved the summer heat as soon as they were eaten.
Chang Zhong was young, and a child's stomach is not as strong as an adult's. Chang Zhong's cold noodles were just rinsed with well water, so they weren't particularly cool, but despite this, the little one ate them with great delight.
After lunch, every household was busy. Luggage needed to be packed, and servants of each household had to be arranged; the whole Zhou residence was bustling.
Zhulan took a bath and changed into her clothes before coming out. There were still many trunks in the courtyard of the main house, with maids and old women bustling about.
Song, the old nanny, said, "The trunks that were sent over a few days ago have all been opened and checked. There's nothing amiss."
Zhulan saw that Song's head was covered in sweat. Indeed, Song was older than her. "You've worked hard; you should take a rest too!"
