Jiang Li sighed, "Where is your mind wandering? I bought it at the Daton Festival, and luckily I had stored it at Aunt Ying's place, so it wasn't burned in the fire. After returning to the Capital, I asked her to send it to me, and I just got it today."
As she spoke, she took out a gift box from behind her.
"See if you like it."
Jiang Shixu carefully unwrapped the box.
Before him lay a delicately crafted handmade leather drum.
The drumhead was made of special calf leather, exceptionally smooth and emitting a faint fragrance.
The drum's body was wrapped in various hemp ropes, embellished with an array of colorful yet harmoniously arranged flowers.
At just one glance, Jiang Shixu fell in love with it.
"What a beautiful drum," he said, gently tapping on the drumhead, and the drum immediately produced a pleasant thumping sound.
