Ma Chengteng had not originally planned to hold a celebratory banquet for Ma Peng's successful examination, but now that his son had entered the Hanlin and he himself had been promoted, they were blessed with double happiness. On top of the previous negative news, this banquet was definitely to be held.
When the Ma Family prepared a banquet, an invite to the Lian Mansion was certainly expected.
Facing Lady Mo, Old Madam said, "Yueying and the others are all grown up now; it's time to take them out and about." Yueying was thirteen this year, an age to start considering matches. They needed to attend more of these banquets to get to know the Madams, so in the future they could find a good family to marry into. Otherwise, if people were unacquainted, where would one find a suitable match? Although Yueying had her faults, having spent such a long time by Old Madam's side naturally forged a bond between them.
