Wei Shu had been busy all day and had cried a lot, her eyes red as she packed up two calligraphy and painting scrolls, bringing them along to express her gratitude to Pei Qin.
Pei Qin wasn't home; Jun Suxue received her, "The period before and after the New Year has been especially busy for the General. Ms. Wei, your visit is rather untimely; the General is currently at the Manufacturing Bureau!"
"I have come uninvited and disturbed you," apologized Wei Shu as she set down the two paintings. "The General kindly gifted me a portrait. These paintings are of no use to me, so I am giving them to the General as a token of my appreciation."
