Susu exchanged a few more words with Yang Liu, and then walked through the garden, heading straight to the Lotus Pavilion.
This pavilion stands by the lake, with covered corridors and small bridges connecting to the Lake Pavilion and the railing plank path for lotus viewing and fish feeding. Although such a view is not uncommon, the young ladies gathered together, chatting and laughing, which was quite rare.
Sixth Miss called for her painting tools, some of which were rare oils from the West.
The daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Xue family wrote a poem, while Fifth Miss from the Wenchang Marquis Mansion played a lively tune on her portable flute. Susu witnessed the impressive artistic talents of the young ladies from illustrious families.
