As they were talking, Jingjing woke up with a loud cry, alarming Ming Wa into crying as well. The wet nurse went upstairs, fed the children, and cleaned them up.
They couldn't go to Hexi Garden to play now, as the family's servants, workers, and Steward Wong were busy at West Lake.
So they took the children to cool off under the shade of the trees in front of Wangjiang Building. Cheng Yue did not go out, but the main door of Wangjiang Building was open, and she was sitting by the door, watching the children play with Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister.
In the afternoon, the Little Monk happily carted away a full load of Number One Golden Lotus Roots.
