In the main courtyard, Zhulan had hardly read a few lines from her book when Zhao Shi came in with a letter. "Mother, Yushuang has written back."
Zhulan put down her book and asked, "What did she say?"
Zhao Shi smiled, "The child has been named Gu Zhaoxi. She also said that Lady Hu won't be returning until the child turns one. She wants me to help send food from the Gu Manor to Zhangzhou Province."
"Liufeng chose a good name."
"Yes, it was his turn to pick the name this time."
Zhulan wrote down the name with her brush. "Yushuang and the child both need proper nutrition. I'll have Eldest Son catch a few sheep and send them along."
Zhao Shi remarked, "The Gu Manor has raised plenty; they'll have enough to eat."
"The Gu family is the Gu family; our gesture is ours."
Zhao Shi thought for a moment and said, "I want to send more coal and furs along as well. The weather is too cold."
