Tang Shunyan was preparing to go to the Capital City and had arranged for all his favorite companions to come out. He would head to the Capital City first, while the other companions would set off on the originally planned date a few days later.
The companions he wished to meet included Tang Xiyue and a few others who grew up together and studied together. Si Ma Roumei also came out to meet them.
They met on a small boat by a lakeshore, which was also a property of the Tang Family.
As they gathered to eat and drink, Tang Shunyan explained to his friends the main point of this meeting.
"Tomorrow, I will take some people to the Capital City first. You can go to the academy later. I have some matters to attend to in the Capital City."
Upon learning that Tang Shunyan was going to the Capital City ahead of time, the other companions wanted to follow.
