"First Madam" Rachel said up respectfully as she stood up placing her items quickly on the table.
"No need to stand on ceremony" Wei Cui waved her hand and Rachel went back to sitting down and continue to sketch.
"Ummm, Older Sister are you doing" Wei Cui said nosily looking over to see an odd image being draw with an odd tool. "What is that?"
"Which one first Madam?"
"Um, what are you drawing?"
"A foreign instrument"
"A foreign instrument?"
"Correct, I saw it once as a child and I still remember it fondly. I wanted to try making it to see what it sounds like.
"What it sounds like?"
"Correct, I only saw it. I don't know how its played or even its name. But I wish to know what it sounds like. So, I'll make it to find out."
"......"
"Yes?"
"Older Sister how are you drawing it?"
"With a piece of charcoal"
"Charcoal?"
"Correct" Rachel said as she finished it and saw her maid servants return and start setting up. Rachel stood up "Well, First Madam excuse me." Rachel did a slight bow and walked back to he courtyard.
Curious Wei Cui followed her into her courtyard.
"Second Madam we are finished" Said her all four of her Maidservants. Rachel stared at the pieces of maple wood before her.
Rachel has four Maid Servants, they care called Long, Hana, Lulu, and JoJo as named by Rachel. Long is her dowry maid servant and the only one she has left since the others had betrayed Rachel and where gotten rid of. Hana and Lulu, where servants chosen by Long. Since Rachel didn't care to choose, she had Long chosen them for her. JoJo is Long biological younger sister and new to Rachel's employ.
"Good get everything else ready for me" Rachel said as she laid her sketch on the ground. Long stepped forward, although she knew the first Madam was here, she did not greet her and continued to follow orders. Moving up to her outfit Rachel unbuttoned removing the upper layer of her outfit and handed it to Long. Who quickly walked away as Hana appeared with tools presenting them to her. Lulu and JoJo came back with the folded tables and Chairs and set them up quickly by the side. Before Disappearing again.
After messing with a few more buttons, she Turned her feminine outfit that was once white into a semi dark blue man's wear then tied up her hair.
Meanwhile Wei Cui and her maid servant where stunned into silence watching as everything, they were doing was fast and natural.
Rachel started with the sound box, Sound boxes, or shells, typically come in three styles: square back, round back, and stave back. Once she got started Rachel worked fast chipping away piece by piece without stopping. Long eventually came back with a folded table and set it up in front of Hana who then laid it down and disappeared with Long.
This time Long and Lulu came back and sat the chairs what they where doing was building the strings for the harp per, Rachels instructions.
JoJo came back with tightly closed pot and a brush as she set it down in close to the table of tools and then disappeared.
Rachel hand where quick as she got finished in only thirty minutes. The First Madam had taken a seat along with her maid in Rachel's courtyard curtesy of Hana who brought the items out for them because they where standing their so long. Then she disappeared again.
