The two sides exchanged pleasantries and took their seats. Old Master Wen glanced around and questioned, "Isn't Ye'er supposed to be here too? Why haven't I seen her?"
"She's gone to see off a friend," Mr. Wen replied politely.
"Oh, it's been such a long time since we last met, I really miss that kid. She's truly smart; among all the girls I've seen, she's definitely one of the smartest.
Second brother, you're luckier than me. Your sons, grandsons, and granddaughters are all so smart and capable. Ah, comparing oneself to others really can be infuriating.
By the way, second brother, am I coming here all of a sudden making you unhappy? I saw both you and your wife seemed a bit down."
Old Master Wen really had a knack for talking; ever since he entered, his mouth hadn't stopped moving. The key is, after he finished speaking, he wouldn't wait for anyone to reply and would dive into the next topic on his own.
