There are several brothers in the Imperial City. The eldest is Uncle Gao, who is the most loyal and has a unique skill in repairing antiques and jades. He has a brother, Gao Xianzhi, who is the seventh among the brothers. His velvet-making skills are among the best in the capital. My father was a matchmaker, and the seventh uncle married the seventh aunt. Less than a year after the marriage, it was rumored that the seventh aunt had a problem with her style. They lived in a neighboring country, had gossips, and couldn't bear the pressure. The seventh uncle committed suicide. My father was the matchmaker for his seventh uncle and his seventh aunt, and he was even more devastated. The seventh aunt went to court over the family property, and the brothers parted ways from then on. My father was so angry that he fell seriously ill and passed away. His days were coming to an end. Uncle Gao pawned a set of wine cups from his ancestors and brought a box of white noodles in exchange for them to the three of us.
