Shu Yu went back to the shop again, and before long Mrs.Jing, Madam Chang, also came over. She arrived late and didn't manage to run into Old Madam Qi and the others.
But she came and went in a hurry, presented her congratulatory gift, drank half a cup of tea, and then left.
Lord Jing is the Minister of Ministry of Central Judicial Office. Because of the "prison break" incident at the Qionglin Banquet two days ago, he's probably so busy now that he can't split himself in two. As his Madam, Madam Chang most likely doesn't have any free time either.
In the afternoon, Xiang Weinan came by once; he delivered a congratulatory gift, then went upstairs to greet Meng Yunzheng, and likewise left in a rush.
Only, before he left, in order to take care of Shu Yu's business, he ordered three hundred taels worth of goods right in front of all the customers on the first floor.
Shu Yu tried to persuade him that it wasn't necessary, saying he could just come and buy more when he needed to eat.
