Lian Manman couldn't help but lighten her steps, moving closer to the private room's entrance, peering inside through the crack in the door.
There weren't many people at the table, Steward Zhong had taken the seat of honor with Shopkeeper Wang in the next honored seat, Old Master Lian had taken the main seat to accompany, followed by Lian Shouren, Lian Shouxin, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi, along with the tavern's Shopkeeper Wang and Wu Yugui.
Standing at the door, Lian Manman was directly opposite Old Master Lian, Lian Shouren, and Lian Shouxin, and could also see the side face of Steward Zhong. The banquet had already been underway for some time; it seemed Lian Shouren had drunk quite a bit, his cheeks glowing red, as he shared amusing occurrences from his studies, and everyone listened with smiles on their faces.
Perhaps encouraged by everyone's attitude, Lian Shouren stood up again to toast Steward Zhong.
