Helian Yu chuckled softly; the Yu family's servants were indeed well-trained.
Helian Yu paid her no further attention and began wandering leisurely around the garden. Although the Pear Garden was primarily a theater, it was planted with pear trees to suit the name. In springtime, the trees were covered in white pear blossoms—a grand sight to behold.

It's filled with famed chrysanthemums cultivated meticulously by the First Madam. Not long ago, during the chrysanthemum banquet she hosted, the prized Yuhu Chun drew universal acclaim."
Helian Yu remarked regretfully, "What a pity I couldn't witness it myself."
As if recalling something, she asked, "I remember there's also a Plum Blossom Banquet held every year during the first snowfall, isn't there?"
