Today, Mr. Yu hosted a banquet in Zone 1. Ostensibly, it was an appraisal meeting because Mr. Yu had acquired three treasures, among which, it was said, there were ancient books.
But in secret, it was rumored to be a matchmaking banquet to select a future daughter-in-law for his second son, Yu Zeming.
Many families were stirred by the news; if one could become a daughter-in-law of the Yu Family, life would indeed be free of any care for food and drink.
As for whether it was to appreciate ancient books, nobody knew, nor did they really care. Sometimes, especially for the upper-class families, a pretext was all that was needed.
A pretext that allowed everyone to gather together, to talk business, exchange information, and foster happy unions.
Of course, there were also some rumors today that a mysterious Lady Butterfly would come. Her background and real name were unknown; all that was known was that she came from a prosperous household and was on good terms with the Yu Family.
