"How long do you plan to stay this time?" An Jing, while picking up a pellet drum to amuse An Yiqing, asked Li Wuyu.
Li Wuyu replied, "I'll stay for just three or four days before I have to go back."
After a short pause, Li Wuyu added in more detail, "My father didn't want me to come; it's already March, and in July Youbao will have completed his mourning period. He can then welcome me into his household, so my father wants me to spend more time with him at home. However, I haven't seen my Youbao and you, my teachers, in such a long time; I missed you all terribly, so I came. But I need to return early to keep my father company."
An Jing nodded and said, "Your father only has you for a daughter. Once you are married, you won't be able to keep him company like you do now as a maiden. It's good to spend more time with him while you still can."
Li Wuyu said, "I know."
"Did you go to Youbao's house to look for him? Did his family tell you where Youbao went?"
