Feast or flood?

Zang Hai is talented in silver work. Was this a personal thank you to Xiang An Tu or another means of manipulation? In spite of her original comment she was very pleased he personally made her something. She reeled him in nicely for a date😂 there was no way to refuse. It was awkward at first but them finding clouds in the stars was quite sweet. He left off with his astronomical training and continued with her in make believe images in the stars. These two are a well matched pair. I am pretty sure I am correct with this. She added a dangly to his hairpin but wore it on date and his eyes keep glancing at it.😁His demeanor completely changes when he looks at the sky outside home. He goes straight to the Marquis with his findings. It directly contradicts Chu’s auspicious rendition and he wants the Marquis to tell the emperor so the drought region can be protected from flooding. The Marquis is too cowardly to change the emperor’s mood. He covets a higher position and sees the collateral damage of the flood giving him an opening. He forbids Zang Hai from mentioning it. I am glad Zang Hai still values life. He went right to his mentor and devised a plan to get the news out. Not only would that get his name in for Chu’s job but also save the people when dam gives out. They cannot rely on any maintenance from these corrupt officials too used to stealing public funds. He is very successful but finds himself at the end of the Marquis’ sword. He asks the marquis to give him seven days to prove flooding. That is the amount of living time he has left if wrong. The eunuch is also questioning around about Lu Jin’s death. He knows there is something off, but there are so many masquerades from every corner that even the spider has to test each thread to see where the fly is. He also has the altar object on his mind thanks to the forged letter. Zang Hai did well because even the sister said it was her brother’s handwriting. The contents of the letter still seems odd to them but they are now exploring more answers. Zang Hai is a master of psyops. 👏🏻 The Marquis has a doom of death dream. I actually chuckled when he felt around his throat when he startled awake.😝 It is interesting that among the faces was also one of undead from around the object. Was this his imagination or memory? There are definitely two thinking of object…..is the third one also? Or is the third focused more on the two? Waiting to see what happens with flood prediction.
