She had Uncle called over and explained to him with gestures and words, putting in a great deal of effort before Uncle understood what she meant.
Uncle performed it in front of Yun Jiao, making her burst into laughter, confirming that Uncle truly understood.
Uncle changed into some old ragged clothes he couldn't bear to throw away and went out with the two servants.
It was still the lunar new year, with more than half a month to go before the spring exam.
All the inns in Xiang City were fully booked.

Uncle waited with a basket on a quiet small street.
A servant made a gesture from afar, and Uncle knew the person was coming.
Uncle slowly carried his basket over.
At the corner, a young man came over.
