After the issue was resolved, Lu Min and his companions went to the government office to pay their respects. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lu and the others headed to the backyard of the yamen to pay their respects to Qiao Xuan.
Traveling from Nanyue to Zhejiang and finally reaching Hangzhou City, Lu Min and his group were struck by the wealth and prosperity of Jiangnan.
Their visit coincided with the most beautiful part of early spring. The smoky willows were green, the blue water resembled silk, and the branches of peach, apricot, and magnolia trees were in full bloom. The breathtaking scenery captivated them, making it hard to look away.
Their journey put them in high spirits.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, both in the backyard of the government office, were delighted to hear of their arrival.
Shao Yunduan went to the study to meet with Lu Min and his companions, while Qiao Xuan warmly welcomed Mrs. Lu and the others.
