Elder Liang stroked his beard and said, "Qiu Yuan, as the saying goes, inviting someone three days in advance is a request, two days is a call, and one day is a reminder. Xu Gongming asking you to invite me to a banquet today is not according to etiquette."

Feng Xifeng, remembering Xu Qing's instructions, explained, "The lad said, if Elder wishes to let outsiders know that you and he are very close, he would be most delighted."
Elder Liang's face froze.
