Jia Esteem's Birthday ls Celebrated in the Ning Mansion Jia Omen Lusts after Meeting Sunny Feng Jia Esteem’s birthday had now arrived. Jia Treasure had six large hampers filled with selected delicacies and rare fruit and sent Jia Lotus with some servants to deliver them to Jia Esteem. “Make sure your grandfather’s agreeable before you pay your respects,” he cautioned his son. “Tell him that to comply with his wishes I’ve not ventured to go, but I am assembling the whole family here to honor him." After Jia Lotus had left the guests began to arrive gradually. First came Jia Chain and Jia Rose. Observing the seating arrangements, they asked what entertainment was to be offered. "His Lordship originally planned to invite the old master, so he didn’t prepare any theatricals, said the servants. “But the day before yesterday, when he heard that the old gentleman wouldn’t be coming, he got us to hire some young actors and musicians. They' re getting ready now on the stage in the garden."
