"Alas," Lady Zhao first let out a sigh, looking truly troubled, "We have been in the capital for two months now, and the Lunar New Year is upon us. After the New Year, there's no telling when the Zhou family might come to the capital, and then we'll have to rush to prepare Ah Qiao's wedding. But Ah Qiao doesn't have a moment to spare, what are we to do?"
Qi Younian felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Lady Zhao's words. He quickly motioned for a servant to pour tea for Lady Zhao and then apologetically said, "Ah Qiao has indeed been busy. We brought only a few people to the capital this time, leaving most of our help with Wusi; Ah Qiao has indeed been busy. However, we've already hired a few craftsmen skilled at writing, and we will continue to hire more help after the New Year. By then, Ah Qiao will certainly be able to relax a bit."
