The next morning, Qiao Duo'er personally delivered the fabric to the Embroidery Room.
Aside from instructing Chao Lian to fetch cloth from the Ji Xiang Cloth Shop, she also took the opportunity to gather everyone to discuss the holiday arrangements.
As the end of the year approached, everyone's minds were less and less on their work.
By announcing the arrangements in advance, she also provided a measure of reassurance.
"The situation is special this year. We will work until the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month. On the twenty-eighth, everyone will come to settle their wages and receive holiday bonuses. Since the Embroidery Room has only been operational for a month, those who have taken more than three days off will forfeit their holiday bonus. But so far, no one has taken that many days off."
Qiao Duo'er, sitting among a group of Embroidery Ladies, exuded a great deal of charm.
"What's included in the holiday bonus?" one inquisitive Embroidery Lady asked.
