The Huo Family's full moon party went on until after ten in the evening. Most of the attendees were male, and drinking inevitably took up time.
Huo Qinqi wasn't there, so several of the Huo Family brothers took turns toasting at each table. Some had special professions and couldn't really get drunk, so it was almost always Huo Ran who took the lead.
Speaking of Huo Ran, there's an amusing story about him.
He spent most of his time living in Hexi. He used to idolize Jiang Chengsi, but later latched onto Shen Shuci. With his big brother away, he became his sister-in-law's little sidekick. Whatever Shen Shuci needed, he was almost always the one to buy it for her.
Since he was quite entertaining, he brought a lot of joy to Shen Shuci.
He was always hanging around Shen Shuci, and the most direct result was...
The nourishing soups prepared for Shen Shuci during her postpartum confinement mostly ended up in his stomach.
