The next day, the lotus viewing party was officially held in Baigongguan.
Early in the morning, Yi David got up and heard some noise outside. He went out to see that almost all the servants in the mansion were busy, running around inside and outside, some were watering and cleaning, some were moving tables, some were changing gauze curtains, some were carrying tea bowls and porcelain... When he turned around, he saw the housekeeper leading in a dozen people dressed like farmers, each of them holding a jar of beautifully blooming peonies in their hands, and seemed to be directing them to place them in various places in the garden.
Seeing Yi David, the butler stopped and called out with a smile, "Adjutant Yi."
Yi David asked: "Where did you get all these flowers?"
The housekeeper said: "I asked the flower club outside to send them here. The director said that he specially invited them here. There is only one pond of lotus flowers, which is not enough to see. The back garden of the mansion is so big, we should add more. Do you think these peonies are okay?" There are about ten mule carts coming from outside."
