"I'm going back today." Unable to sleep, Xiqiu got up with Fourth Master Xiao and helped him put on his official robe: "Big sister-in-law entrusted Nanny Qiu to come, saying she has something to discuss with me."
Fourth Master Xiao stood still, allowing Xiqiu to straighten his lapels and fasten his belt. She then led him to the dressing table to fix his hair, and Xiqiu continued, "I suspect it might be about Seventh Brother's marriage."
"Seventh Brother's marriage?" Fourth Master Xiao paused, remembering that Tong Minzhi was already sixteen: "Has he taken a fancy to any young lady?"
By the time they finished their conversation, everything was tidied up. He stood up and left the room with Xiqiu. Breakfast was laid out in the side room. Xiqiu asked Bihuai to bring Zhi'er over. When the couple sat at the table, Xiqiu said, "I haven't heard any news, but since Big Sister-in-law invited me back, she must have some plans."
