ANCESTRAL RITES(2)

The next day I come out and see Chaoxing sitting outside drinking tea. He had sent message to me to dress up. He must still be missing his father seeing as he has been gloomy since yesterday. I didn't know my way around Sichuan.

The manor seemed even more chaotic today. The servants were running around in a haste to get things done.

"What's going on here?" I asked

"The servants are preparing to give out food. We do this every year to honor my father " he explained.

I realized the people of Sichuan province really adored Chaoxing. While we were handling out food, the officials came to greet us. Chaoxing also adored the people. He was a charismatic man. No wonder he was royalty. We spent almost a whole day giving out rice to the people.
