Qian Yixiu supported Lady Wu as they entered the Drooping Flower Gate, where a guiding Sister came over to ask which family they were from before leading them towards the main house. Their social status wasn't high and their family background not outstanding; they would leave after paying their respects to the Eldest Princess. In the main house, not even a side room had a place for them to sit.
According to Sister Gong, such banquets often had many guests. The more esteemed or senior guests would sit in the main house, while those of less prominent families or younger age took their places in the side rooms. Many of the young ladies would not sit still in the rooms, preferring to play in the garden instead.
