Jinhoo is already acquainted with Master Jian, and despite not having seen each other for many years, there was no trace of awkwardness upon their reunion.
Master Jian had heard about Jinhoo's return recently, and although busy preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet, he had caught wind of a few phrases about the matters in his master's backyard.
Upon encountering Jinhoo, Master Jian was unsurprised and exchanged a few cordial pleasantries, after which Jinhoo explained his purpose for visiting.
For such a trivial matter, disregarding the fact that Jinhoo is his master's nephew, even an ordinary merchant requesting to donate Silver Coin in exchange for an invitation to the event would be reasonable.
Master Jian naturally agreed wholeheartedly, accepted the silver note, and promptly fetched an invitation, while additionally providing a few reminders about the considerations for the event day.
