Zhu Xiuxiu was quite generous, directly holding out a large silver ingot worth ten taels.
Xie Si couldn't help but widen his eyes; this could cover his food expenses for two years at Luming Academy. But then he thought of his sister, whom he hadn't seen for several years...
"I'm sorry, Madam," he said, "the gift for my sister is about the sentiment, not just dividing a duck. Look, I'm only back for a little while today and then I have to return to the Academy. How about you come with me to the Academy, and I'll roast a whole one for this young lady? What do you think?"
This was indeed a good idea, Zhu Xiuxiu thought, and she agreed, directly giving the silver ingot to Xie Si.
"That's excellent. It'll be just in time for Suisui's dinner."
Then she instructed Yunxiang, "You go with this young brother, and when the Roasted Duck is ready, bring it directly back to the Mansion."
Yunxiang nodded in agreement.
