Chunhui Hall, a scene of joyful harmony.
This family banquet was divided into two tables: Song Ci with the men of the household at one, and Madam Song with the two daughters-in-law and the only two young ladies of the family at the other.
As for Old Master Song, it was said he took two concubines to some lakeside to go bird-watching, having sent word that he wouldn't be back for the festival. Everyone in the manor was used to this master's unpredictable comings and goings.
Song Ci looked at 'his' second son Song Zhicheng, who, after freshening up, no longer resembled Wu Song. Yet, he was rough and burly, with a square face, bushy eyebrows, and big eyes, looking somewhat imposing and stern.
He was a completely different person from the shrewd elder son. As for the youngest son, he was lively yet not quite mature. Who knows what kind of character the yet-to-be-met third son had.
Oh, that would be his illegitimate son, born to a concubine.
