Kapitel 864: Chapter 864: Investigation

The sedan chair moved slowly out from the Marquis Yongping's Mansion, a grand procession heading toward Imperial Street.

Outside the sedan chair was a cacophony of noise; Liu Sisi, hugging Niuniu, sat inside, closing her eyes to rest.

Chou Chou's bruises had healed considerably, and Di Xuan was taking him to Di Hongyuan's manor for instruction in knowledge, planning to formally begin his education in a few days.

For this occasion, Di Hongyuan even specifically consulted an old almanac, selecting a day five days hence as the date for Chou Chou's apprentice ceremony. Liu Sisi had not expected Di Hongyuan to place such importance on Chou Chou's education, and she promptly began to take it seriously as well, preparing a set of apprentice gifts according to tradition.

Although the relationship between the two families meant that these apprentice gifts might appear overly formal, only such measures were adequate to match Di Hongyuan's solemnity.
