There were quite a few people to invite that day, including those from the County Yamen, all from the Wang Family, a group of scholars that Wu Lang befriended, some well-known gentries in the county town, and some owners of large merchants, shopkeepers, etc. As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth. With this opening, all kinds of people must be taken care of.
Having decided on the list of invitees, Shopkeeper Wang took out the menu for that day's banquet to show it to some of the store owners, discussed a few other matters, and then the two shopkeepers took their leave to make arrangements.
Just as the two shopkeepers left, Maid Xiao Xi came in to report.
"The eldest aunt is here again."
What was called the eldest aunt naturally referred to Lian Lanlan.
