Ms. Cui turned her head trying to look for the hourglass, couldn't find it after a long search, so she asked, "What time is it now?"
Manbao sank into the system to check the time and said, "It will be 1 p.m. in a quarter of an hour."
Ms. Cui was surprised, "I've slept for nearly an hour? How does it feel as if I just dozed off for a moment?"
Madam Tang and Manbao were also surprised, they had been talking non-stop for almost an hour? No wonder they felt a bit dry in the mouth.
The two picked up their teacups together and drank tea.
Ms. Cui glanced at the sunlight outside and asked, "Where are my husband and the others?"
The maid waiting outside heard and immediately came in to reply, "The master and others are talking in the garden."
Ms. Cui nodded but did not let her go to ask further questions, and waved her to withdraw.
She said to Manbao, "It's rare to sleep this well, I'll stay at your house a while longer today."
Manbao suggested, "Why don't you also stay for dinner?"
