A month later, before Zuo Zixi's grand wedding, the Jiang Family's Old Master Jiang, Old Madam Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, and the two cousins all arrived in the capital from Cangzhou.
Madame Jiang cleared several courtyards in the Zuo Residence for the Jiang Family to stay.
Zuo Xiangning kowtowed to Grandfather Jiang and Old Madam Jiang, who each gave her a big red envelope, and Old Madam Jiang also gave Zuo Xiangning a string of sandalwood Buddha Beads, "I prayed for these at Mount Putuo, to keep you safe."
"Thank you, great-grandmother," Zuo Xiangning affectionately sat down next to Old Madam Jiang, "Great-grandmother, will you stay in the capital for the New Year this year?"
"Yes," Madame Jiang also said, "You and father can stay here for the New Year before returning. By the end of the year, Zimo and Ku Chen should also be back, and then we can all have a lively time together."
