After Yu Xiaolian and her entourage returned home, Yu Xiaolian instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal, with plenty to eat and drink, just like a New Year's celebration. She wanted to host a feast for friends and family.
Although Su Jingchen achieved the top scholar title, they did not celebrate ostentatiously in the Capital. But now that they were home, there had to be some festivities.
Sun Shi asked Yu Xiaolian, "Did the son-in-law really become the top scholar?"
Even though Yu Xiaolian had mentioned it in a letter once, seeing Yu Xiaolian nod and confirm it made Sun Shi still feel it was too surreal.
Her son-in-law was the top scholar, and Sun Shi beamed with pride and delight.
"Where is the son-in-law? Why didn't he come back with you?"
