Yuan Yunzhong had stayed at Song Jiyun's place until the lighting of the lamps before he left.
Nine tea cups had been painted in total.

Zheng Quan had looked a few times wanting to speak, but was silenced by a glance from Song Jiyun, and finally, with twitching lips, he walked away quietly.
Two days later, Registrar Wang sent an invitation. A banquet was to be held in the Little Snow Hall at West Ridge Villa, and the managers of the major kiln factories of Jingde Town were to attend.

Song Jiyun felt something odd.
