"I heard from my father yesterday that the dishes our manor submitted were selected. Wouldn't the Emperor grant rewards to the chosen manors today?"
As the carriage turned a street corner, Fu Rong began to inquire. Mother Su had brought word back yesterday that Marquis Fu wanted her to find a way to claim the favor and exchange it for the honor of the Ancestral Temple rites for the Marquis Manor.
Seeing Xiao Yunsheng nod, her eyes lit up. She leaned delicately toward him, her voice growing soft and syrupy: "Husband, have you thought about what that favor will be? My father wants to trade with you for it. He has served the court for three generations, and his only wish is to enjoy the Ancestral Temple rites after he retires. If this could be realized, he would have no regrets in this life. He is willing to accept any terms you name in exchange."
