Tong Xiyan wore a pine green and garnet rabbit fur collar cloak when she arrived today, with a dark blue front-closing overcoat edged in silver underneath. Her skin appeared pale with a hint of redness, her face glowing. She was having Xinqin help her with the cloak while talking to Xiao Yanzheng. Upon hearing the Grand Dowager's query, she nodded and smilingly replied, "Very healthy. Every morning after reciting scriptures in the room, a few laps around the courtyard..."
The Grand Dowager nodded, praised, "That's the way it should be. The older generation's good health is your blessing indeed!"
Tong Xiyan nodded repeatedly.
After chatting for a while, Xiqiu smiled and said to the Grand Dowager, "Mother, I'm going to accompany my sister-in-law and Sixth Sister to my place for a bit." The Grand Dowager nodded and said, "Go on!" She then told Madam Jiang and Tong Xiyan, "Join us for lunch here at noon."
