Because there are no wars now, the commanders can drink a few cups, though they must be conscious not to drink too much.
Near eight o'clock, the banquet in the front hall dispersed. Hong Sheng bathed in a small room of the study in the outer courtyard, removing the smell of alcohol. He also drank a bowl of hangover soup before coming to the inner courtyard.
Susu was organizing the study in the eastern room, which was now divided by a screen into front and back sections.
In the front, the desk was moved near the window, with the best Four Treasures of the Study arranged on it, along with a small chiming clock.
Two treasure ink cases, one square, one round, two silver ink cases, with a piece of aged pine soot ink on the ink stonebed were among Susu's dowry. She can't remember when she got them!
