Fang Liuming had waited until now, a man of no young age. He was only a year younger than Pei Qin, and just now at twenty-nine, he married as Jiuer turned three. Grandma Fang was also anxious to see her great-grandson, carefully ensuring Fang Liuming didn't drink too much.
Pei Wendong, Chang Yonglin, and Xiao Yong had traveled twice and had slowly built up their tolerance to alcohol. The three of them took turns toasting, followed by Sun Chao and a few others who had come with the bridal party.
After three rounds, Fang Liuming had drunk just about enough.
At this point, as the feast concluded, Grandma Fang immediately served Fang Liuming sobering soup.
Fang Hui hadn't left yet; watching Hong Xia and Lv Chun carry water into the bridal chamber, she remarked sarcastically, "Those two maids aren't young either, still accompanying her in the bridal party. Are they here to be Liuming's mistress maids?"
