About This Novel
Gui Wu got to know Sanhuangzi because he ate two of Sanhuangzi's sesame seed cakes. The sesame cakes are just ordinary sesame cakes with a layer of browned white sesame seeds. Ningzhou people are very particular about the presentation of their sesame cakes. Black sesame seeds don't look good, as they look like they've been dropped to the ground and are a little dirty, so they only use clean white sesame seeds. Gui Wu was originally going to Liujiawan outside the West City Gate that morning to deliver medicine to the official residence. The so-called official residence is not the residence of a real official, just like the government office in Wujiazhuang on the other side of the Ninghe River is not the government office in Ningzhou. At that time, a civil examiner came out of this official residence, and a military examiner came out of the Yamen house in Wujiazhuang on the other side of the river. So people called the Wenju family's house an official residence, and the Wuju family's house a Yamen, both of which had a sense of awe. On that morning, Guiwu went to deliver medicine to the official residence. The old lady at the official residence had a few extra bites of the stew the night before.
