The current Emperor's birthday was in mid-October, but as the journey from Liaodong Prefecture to the Capital City was long, Shen Jin had to set out at the end of September. As Shen Jin's departure for the capital approached, Lian Manman's gift was finally ready.
During this period, Lian Shouxin made another trip back to Thirty Mile Camp and transported a large quantity of this year's finest wine to the Prefecture City.

The rest of the wine was placed in the shop that Lian Manman's family had just taken over for sale.
