Master Zhuang took a short break before picking up his book to resume the lecture. The morning passed quickly, and soon it was time for lunch. Since the classes were being held at the Sheng Estate, Sheng Changbai invited his friends to dine with him at home. As for Qi Heng, under his mother’s arrangements, he went off with Sheng Minglan to have a private meal at the Old Madam’s quarters.
"Brother Bai, Zhonghuai and I are close friends; he usually eats at my place anyway. You don't need to run back and forth—why not just join us for lunch at my home?"
"Then I thank you, brother."
