"Congratulations on adding a concubine, spreading branches and leaves. Best wishes for Grandmaster Li's flourishing family!"

"Haha, thank you all. Enjoy the food and drink!"

Along the way, passing through various courtyards, Li Chichang exchanged pleasantries with the guests, his laughter hearty and bold.

Gradually leaving the noisy crowd and reaching the secluded inner courtyard, Li Chichang walked to the door, knocked, and said, "Yun'er, the guests are waiting; are you ready?"
