Erlang and Zhao Xiue had dinner at the old house before returning to the town. Tomorrow is Zhao Xiue's third-day visit back to her parental home after marriage, and the rituals were prepared by Lady Zhou according to the old customs. Lian Shouyi and Lady He didn't accompany them back to town this time because with the New Year approaching, there were many chores to be done at home, and Lady Zhou had assigned tasks to both Lian Shouyi and Lady He.
As for the couple, Erlang and Zhao Xiue, Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou's preliminary plan was for them to spend the days in the village and return to stay in the big house in town at night. At least, that was the arrangement until the coming spring.
