Because the paper was quite thin, Yueyao would copy one sheet and lay it on the ground to dry; after all the sheets had dried, she would then sew them together. Hua Lei presented the completed volume to Yueying and said, "Eldest Miss, this is the copy our miss has transcribed."
Yueying was not truly going to check the work; she had spoken too hastily earlier and said feebly, "Third younger sister, I have just finished copying the second volume."
Upon hearing Yueying's words, Yueyao's voice softened, "Eldest sister can give me two volumes, I can handle them." Giving her two more would still leave two volumes' worth, enough to tire out Yueying.
After Yueying left, Yueyao asked Nanny Hao, "What kind of person do you think Eldest Sister is?"
