Front courtyard.
After three rounds of drinks, the main course was served, and Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin finally had a moment to step into the side hall.
There, a small vegetarian table had long been prepared. The two didn’t pay much attention to many things, especially Song Chongjin; right after arriving in the morning, he was sent by Imperial Physician Du to greet guests at the second gate, leaving him tired and thirsty.
He first drank half a pot of tea in one go, then hurriedly wolfed down a few bites of food to pad his stomach, before rushing off to accompany Wang Yongzhu next to Imperial Physician Du.
The guests had almost finished eating by that point. The banquet had been cleared away, and they were served with clear tea.
After taking just a few sips, those who were observant began to rise and take their leave.
Imperial Physician Du still needed to sit inside with Governor Chen and others, hence this task naturally fell to Song Chongjin, who dutifully stood at the second gate, gradually seeing the guests off.
Back in the main room, the remaining guests were now only Governor Chen, Zhu Haoran, Lv Wenguang, and Old Master Qin.
Upon seeing Song Chongjin return, Wang Yongzhu, feeling sorry for him, personally poured him some tea.
Song Chongjin couldn’t help but flash a smile.
The few individuals seated above saw the subtle interaction between the young couple, they couldn’t help but laugh as well. They were accustomed to seeing Song Chongjin’s usual expressionless demeanor and had thought he wouldn’t know how to smile.
At that moment, he looked somewhat like a young man of eighteen or nineteen.
