The early morning sun bathed the world in a radiant glow, cloudless for miles. The cooling days of autumn in Beiliang brought with them breezes that soothed the soul, accompanied by the warming touch of sunlight.
Stretching a satisfying yawn, rubbing his aching back caught by the glare, the old scholar plastered on the plaster while laughing painfully.
"You're not young anymore, yet you don't know how to take care of yourself,"
Lady Zhang shot him an irritated glance and said, "The food's in the pot, just light a fire and heat it up when you're hungry. And don't pick stuff off the ground to eat."
"I've told you, I was looking for earthworms!"
the old scholar said, annoyed and embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, looking for earthworms... I don't understand what's so fun about fishing that you're so addicted to it,"
she said with resignation, rubbing the old scholar's head. Lady Zhang chuckled, "I'm off to go boating with Li Kuan's wife. You get some rest."
"Sure."
