The dinner was a mutton soup pot, warm and cold-dispelling. The broth in the pot was snow-white and bubbling, with sheep bones and meat stewed inside, emitting a thick fragrance. Several dishes were laid out on the table, including white vegetables, radishes, glass noodles, potatoes, and two dishes of spicy sauce for dipping.
This made Qian Yixiu, who had just come inside from outdoors, unable to help herself from sniffing a few times. Sister Gong, who was attending to her, reminded her again, "Miss."
Qian Yixiu quickly straightened up, took off her shoes, and seated herself with proper posture beside the table. She sat on the left side of the kang table, while Qian Sangui sat on the inside. The two had just picked up their bowls and were about to eat, when a servant came to report, "General Liang has arrived."
Qian Sangui and Qian Yixiu exchanged glances, and Qian Sangui said helplessly, "Guests are always welcome, please invite him in."
