Originally thought the New Year's greetings at Qinghe Bay would be the end, but unexpectedly, Tong Huaqiong received quite a few invitations early on the second day.
There were invitations from the Huang Family, the Liu Family, and some merchants and prominent families from Yan Guan Town and Pingchuan County, all inviting Tong Huaqiong to have drinks during the New Year.
Apart from the Huang Family and Liu Family, Tong Huaqiong declined most of them.
For those she couldn't refuse, she let the social expert Gu Dashu take Liu Yueer to entertain them.
Liu Yueer was very pleased with her mother-in-law's arrangements, as she loved socializing outside.
As for treating the clerks from the shop during the New Year, Tong Huaqiong delegated this to He Chao, who would host key clerks along with Gu Taohua.
The custom on the second day of New Year is to visit one's maternal home, but Tong Huaqiong had severed ties with the Tong Family, so she had nowhere to visit.
