Lady Zhou kept sending people to scout the house where the guests stayed, and when she heard from the servants that the two distinguished guests had woken up, she hurriedly had someone inform Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu, thinking he could not seem too eager, decided after some deliberation to send Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying ahead to pay a visit.
When Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying arrived at the courtyard where Ling Hua and Yan Qing were staying, the two had just finished breakfast.
A servant reported, "The third young master and fourth young miss have arrived." Ling Hua glanced out the window. The snow, bigger than goose feathers and more intense than the previous days, covered Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying. Liangzhou was known for its heavy snow and strong winds, which the locals called the white-haired wind. The gales howled through the snow, rendering umbrellas useless against its force. People walking about were clad in heavy cloaks with hoods.
