    Chapter Index

    “You begged me to give you a chance to correct yourself, shouldn’t you first show your sincerity to correct yourself? Instead of begging someone to take you out while asking them to give you a chance to correct yourself, dare I say that you have taken advantage of it?”

    There were no bystanders around, Wei Ruo didn’t have to care about her image and directly rolled her eyes very nonchalantly.

    “But ……”

    “No buts, put away your mind, if you need company go to your own good sisters, hasn’t Ms. Qian’s family asked you out? If not go over there yourself, don’t look for me, I’m not available.”

    After saying that, Wei Ruo bypassed Wei Qingwan and didn’t want to waste a moment, quickly walking towards the door, leaving her with a resolute and dashing back.

    Wei Ruo arrived at the location where he had an appointment with Xie Ying, it was the very same Four Treasures Zhai that Wei Ruo often went to.

    This location is Xie Ying set, the general women meet, go to the rouge store jewelry store more, Xie Ying’s idea is a little different.

    “Are you coming here to buy something?” Wei Ruo asked.

    “Well, buy some paper, my brother is coming back soon, the capital is full of good things, I don’t need to buy him anything else, but this paper is not even available in the capital, I’ll buy some for him so he can see the world!”

    Xie Ying said striding into the Four Treasures.

    “Boss, I want to buy a hundred.” Xie Ying pulled out a silver ingot and placed it on the countertop in a domineering manner.

    Boss Jia was very embarrassed and explained, “I’m sorry this young lady, you can see that we have a notice posted on our door, each person can only sell fifty sheets per day, if you want to buy more, you can only buy our family’s set, the set also has paper inside, but it’s not limited.”

    “What kind of crap rule is this? I can’t just buy your paper even though I have money?” Xie Ying asked.

    “Miss calm your anger, it’s like this, our family’s paper daily output is very limited, if we don’t limit the amount of purchases, we’re afraid that some of them will all be purchased all at once, resulting in other people not having anything to buy.” Boss Jia patiently explained.

    This explanation was barely acceptable to Xie Ying, but she was still a bit unhappy.

    “How can I give my brother a gift with just this much? How petty does it seem?”

    “Boss, I’ll buy fifty as well.” Wei Ruo walked up and said to the boss.

    The shopkeeper then immediately took fifty sheets of paper and rolled them up for Wei Ruo.

    Getting the paper Wei Ruo handed it directly to Xie Ying.

    “For me?” Xie Ying asked.

    “Uh-huh.”

    “Then I won’t be polite to you, I’ll give you the silver later.” Xie Ying didn’t squirm and accepted it directly.

    “There’s no need to be polite with me, take this as my Beggar’s Day gift to you.”

    “It’s okay.” Xie Ying didn’t say much.

    Then Xie Ying looked at the other things in the store, she also planned to buy some more ink, paper and inkstones to give to her brother.

    Xie Ying saw wooden boxes of the same size and shape on top of the shelves on one side of the store, each tied up with silk ribbons and tightly sewn together.

    Xie Ying asked, “Shopkeeper, what is in those wooden boxes in your house?”

    “That contains goods from our store, it could be paper, it could be an ink stone, it could be a combination of a few things, there are better quality ones as well as average quality ones.” The shopkeeper explained.

    “Each one is different?” Xie Ying wondered.

    “Yes, each one is different, but the selling price is the same, five taels of silver for a wooden box.” The shopkeeper replied.

    “Then can I open it and take a look?” Xie Ying asked again.

    “You can’t, you can only find out what’s inside when you buy it.”

    “If it’s not the same and still sells for the same price, wouldn’t some people lose money and some people make money?” Xie Ying asked.

    “It’s like this, whether you make a profit or a loss depends on luck. One of the wooden crates also contains a pair of ink treasures from the Hidden Forest Jushi, and those who buy that pair of ink treasures likewise only need to pay five taels of silver.” The shopkeeper continued to explain.

    “Hidden Forest Jushi again? I’ve heard that you’ve given away a pair of Hidden Forest Jushi’s ink treasures on the first day of your opening, how do you have so many Hidden Forest Jushi’s ink treasures? I heard my mother say that Hidden Forest Dwellers don’t really like to give away their calligraphy and paintings.”

    “Miss, please rest assured that the ink treasures of Hidden Forest Jushi in my store are absolutely authentic. My family’s boss, Mr. Wo Right, and the Hidden Forest Jushi are friends for the past few years, so he has obtained quite a few of the Hidden Forest Jushi’s ink treasures.”

    It was only in the last few days that Boss Jia had learned that his boss was a man named Mr. Wo right, not the simple and honest crofter who lived in the back yard.

    So much so that it made a little more sense to him, otherwise he really would have questioned his ability to read people.

    “What if I want to buy the ink treasure of the Hidden Forest Juror outright? How much would you ask for it?” Xie Ying asked.

    Her brother loved paintings and calligraphy, and he should be happy that she had given him the ink treasures of the Hidden Forest Dweller.

    “This ink treasure cannot be purchased directly, it can only be based on luck.” Boss Jia explained, “In addition this time, we will register all the guests who purchase the ‘Blind Box’ introduced by our store, after which our boss, Mr. Wo Right, will randomly select a lucky guest to write a recommendation letter for him to the Hidden Forest Juror.”

    The letter of recommendation didn’t really appeal to Xie Ying because her brother was studying in the capital’s academy and didn’t quite need to go and worship someone else.

    But Xie Ying knows that in this Xingshan County there must be quite a few students who want to get this letter of recommendation, if it is really as this shopkeeper said, his boss and the Tibetan Forest Dweller’s relationship is so good words.

    “In that case, I’ll take all the boxes on that shelf!” Miss Xie Ying was very generous, the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted all the boxes.

    Boss Jia smiled and compensated, “I’m sorry girl, this blind box can be bought at most two per person.”

    “Why? I would have paid for it if I wanted to buy it, so why don’t you let me buy it?” Xie Ying asked.

    “It’s like this, if someone buys all the boxes, then he must be able to get the ink treasure of the Hidden Forest Dweller, and he must also be able to get the letter of introduction promised by our Wo Right Duke, in this way the fairness of this game is lost, and it turns into the fact that whoever is here first and has the money will surely be able to get the rewards.”

    The same explanation Jia Boss had already told several people in the past few days.

    Xie Ying felt a bit reasonable after hearing this and nodded, “You have a point, it really wouldn’t be fun if this was the case.”

    “Yes, yes, thank you for understanding, girl.”

    “Tell you what then, I’ll buy two.” Xie Ying said.

    “Alright, these girls on the shelves can be picked at will.” Boss Jia said.

    Xie Ying went to the shelf and picked up this one to weigh it, and then picked up that one to look at it.

    Originally, she was not very fond of the hidden forest priest ink treasure, because of the “blind box” game, there is a sense of victory.

    If she could buy the case with the treasure of the hidden forest dweller’s ink by buying only two of them, she could surely brag about it with her brother later on!

    After looking around, Xie Ying asked, “Is that all? Is there anything else, I want to see them all.”

    “No more, we started this event on the first of this month, and there are only a few boxes left to sell until today.” Boss Jia replied.
