The most important thing in August is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th. The Song Mansion is naturally bustling and busy, with gifts being sent and received, keeping Susu in the warehouse for half a month. Wu Tong and Ning Xiang, the two little maidservants, were diligent in helping out, but Susu dared not entrust valuable items to the two children and had to arrange everything herself.
On August 13, the legitimate eldest grandson of the Song Mansion, who has already been granted the title of Princely Heir of the Bo Mansion, Young Master Song Qing He, arrived with a boatload of festival gifts. These included not only tributes from the First and Second Wife to the Old Madam but also gifts bestowed by the Emperor and Consort Xi from the palace for the Old Madam and the heads of the Third Household.
