Scholar Mo, over the past two years, had been so preoccupied with exams and later with making a living that he hadn't intentionally taken the time to appreciate the prosperity of the Capital City.
However, today he seemed particularly inclined to appreciate it, walking down each street, observing every shop he passed, wanting to engrave the details of this place in his memory.
Perhaps upon leaving here, he might not return for half a year or two years. Later, when speaking to others, he could recount the splendor of the Capital.
He took the letter to the post station and mailed it. Then he headed back to the city center. Thinking of his mother-in-law taking his wife along, he was certain they wouldn't prepare lunch for him, so he stopped at a small eatery to casually enjoy some local snacks from the Capital.
Mrs. Zhong did not go shopping with her daughter immediately but had the carriage return home first.
