She bought it and asked Ningxiang and the others to cut and make it themselves.
It’s also a benefit for everyone.
Seeing that it was enough, I didn’t continue shopping and went straight home.
She has two paintings to paint in half a month, so time is quite tight.
I didn’t waste any time in the afternoon and went straight to the study to paint.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the first painting was completed and was directly delivered to Manager Xiao by Ningxiang and Mufeng.
On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, people from several families had dinner together in Ruixuan Hall in the evening. Liu did not attend due to illness, and Chen Ke did not attend as he was unable to get out of bed.
