Lady Zhou kept a stern face and hadn't spoken, but she really started tidying up, and her speed was quite fast. Meanwhile, she directed Lian Yaya and Lady Chiang to first move the basins and clothes to the ground, while she took a large, colorless rag to wipe the wet traces on the kang.
"No need to tidy up, we'll sit on the floor." Lian Shouxin said.
They had several people, and there weren't enough chairs and stools on the floor for everyone to sit. Lian Shouxin and Lian Shouli sat first; the rest were all peers, so no one wanted to sit down first, showing a lot of courtesy.
"The floor is cold; better sit on the kang. It'll be ready soon." Old Master Lian said, urging Lady Zhou to quickly finish tidying up while smilingly chatting with Lian Shouxin and the others.
