November 29th was the birthday of the Yan family's Old Madam. Due to the recent conferment of hereditary titles, although the Yan Family hadn't prepared a grand celebration this time, there were still many who came to offer birthday wishes. From early morning, the Yan Family was bustling with activity.
In the front yard, Yan Zhigao, together with Yan Zhiyuan, Yan Zhiqiang, and Yan Wenxiu and other younger members of the family, took charge of entertaining the male guests who had arrived; in the backyard, Madam Li was responsible for welcoming the female guests from various families, with the Sun family and the Wu Family, one handling the tea service, the other managing the kitchen.
Even Yan Siyu, who had just returned home, had duties; she led Yang Xiujun, Yan Yihuan, and a few other young ladies to sit beside Old Madam Yan, making pleasant small talk and laughing with the visiting madams and young ladies.
