Old Master Lian had sent a letter, and the whole family put aside what they were doing to listen to Wu Lang read it.
In the letter, Old Master Lian expressed his joy upon learning that Lian Shouxin had earned an imperial reward for growing corn, earning an imperial archway. He was also pleased that Lian Shouxin's family was moving into a new residence and was happy for them on their behalf. Old Master Lian also mentioned in the letter that he planned to send Lian Jizu and Lady Chiang back for the archway ceremony.
