Qin Yuan also found it interesting and asked a few more questions.
Seeing this, Sixth Master Gu instructed the servant through the window to go to the Imperial College to inquire daily. Then he said to Qin Yuan, "It only takes a few words, so Shen Changle doesn't have to make another trip."
Qin Yuan replied, "That's fine, I've entrusted Shen Changle with this matter and haven't asked much about it."
Old Madam Gu nodded, "That's a good approach. Asking too much makes the subordinates feel distrusted; asking too little, some cunning ones might cause trouble. It's only natural for the Sixth Master to be concerned since his name is attached to this."
After chatting for some time, Marquis Gu still hadn't arrived.
Qiuju had hinted to Nanny Rong several times already. Nanny Rong saw that it was getting late and said, "The young master is likely hungry by now. Why not serve the meal now?"
Old Madam Gu then said, "Go ahead and serve it."
