The old general had his servants wash, clothe and feed Mei Hong, then let her sleep for half a day. After the lady had recovered a bit, she was asked into the general's quarters, to drink tea.

"I could never general." She said, calling him what all the other women in the Wang residence called him.
The old man gave her a blank look, "I turned down my three drinking buddies, won't you humor me?" Although his tone sounded whimsical, there was nothing jovial in his eyes.
