As night fell, the Jing Garden lit up with dazzling lights bright as day.
The servants bustled in and out; the monthly family feast was the busiest time for the Jing Family servants, delivering dishes, lighting incense, fanning the air. The three housekeepers constantly coordinated operations, ready to implement back-up plans in case of unexpected events, leaving everyone unable to pause for rest.
Meanwhile, the Jing Family members casually chatted throughout the Jing Garden; naturally, the large family had many small circles. The young gathered to discuss the quality of new girls from Xiangxue Sea's golden basin, the middle-aged indulged in mutual flattery to strengthen relations, and the elderly shared conversations about health, descendants, and the past.
The most attention-grabbing figures on the scene were, undoubtedly, the two heirs, Second Son Jing Zhengwu and Third Son Jing Zhengtang.
