This banquet was to receive and cleanse the dust off friends who came to assist with their fists.
Everyone gathered together, sitting around each table.
They offered tea and cakes, and filled the pots and topped up the soups.
Helpers and workers bustled through corridors and courtyards, chanting the names of the dishes as they served with smiles, making sure everyone was seated and encouraged to drink to their heart's content.
In this world, the host's seating arrangement respects the right and belittles the left, for instance, a demoted official would be referred to as "being sent to the left."
Zhao Rong's seat was the second on the right.
As Long Ping was a relative of Long Changxu and one of the people who came to help, she should have sat at the head of the table beside Mr. Long, as part-host to entertain the guests, but upon seeing a certain young man, she cheerfully took a seat beside him.
