As they were eating, Han Zhuo suddenly thought of something and said, "Today Zhi'er has placed first as the Zhuangyuan in the imperial examinations. As a family of some standing, we should scatter gold and silver and host a long-table banquet. Not only our household servants, but the neighbors around us can also join in."
"Firstly, this is to celebrate our Zhi'er being personally chosen by Guanjia and placing as the Zhuangyuan. Secondly, it is to announce this to the neighborhood so they can share in our good fortune, and perhaps offer some blessings for Banniang and the child."
As soon as Han Zhuo finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. Zhou Miao'an's eyes were filled with approval, and she smiled as she said, "This is a wonderful idea. That way, it not only celebrates Zhi'er's success, but also accumulates blessings for Banniang and the child—killing two birds with one stone."
