“Second brother, have you heard about the mystery box?” asked Wei Ruo.
“I have heard a bit,” replied Wei Jinyi.
Xiaobei, who was standing nearby, chimed in: “Miss, our Madam bought several boxes for the eldest son. Even in our information-limited corner, we have heard of the news.”
“I see,” Wei Ruo didn’t seem surprised at all. She had overheard Yun s conversation with Wei Yichen and knew of their interest in the Tibetan layman.
“Ruo, do you wish to draw the Tibetan Layman’s ink treasure?” Wei Jinyi asked.
“The Tibetan layman’s ink treasure isn’t that important, the recommendation letter is what matters. With the letter, second brother can approach the Tibetan layman as a student,” Wei Ruo answered.
-You want me to be a disciple of the Tibetan layman?” asked Wei Jinyi.
“Second Brother, haven’t you recently decided to take the imperial examination? Taking a master won’t necessarily mean you need to learn something, but it would be of help,” Wei Ruo replied.
“Hmm.”
“Don’t you want a master?” Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jinyi looked at Wei Ruo, seeing the expectation gleaming in her eyes along with her joyful and animated expression.
“We can consider it if appropriate, but no obligations. Ruo doesn’t have to take it to heart. It’s better not to raise hopes,” Wei Jinyi answered.
“Then, Second Brother, let’s open it. I’m curious about my luck!”
Wei Ruo curiously said, she really didn’t know what was inside the randomly chosen mystery box.
Once the boxes were assembled, there were no identifiers, even Wei Ruo, the one behind the idea, didn’t know which box contained the Tibetan Layman’s ink treasure.
Under Wei Ruo’s curious gaze, Wei Jinyi opened the box. It contained four treasures of the study from the Four Treasure House, each representing one of the four.
Wei Ruo looked at it, “Amazing, I’m really lucky. We made a profit, having paper already, and this inkstone is also one of the high-priced kinds. It’s quite good.”
Xiaobei couldn’t help but say, “Miss, you’re happy with just having a piece of paper. If you had the Tibetan Layman’s box, imagine how happy you would be!
“One must be content. In matters of luck, demanding too much might deplete it. Better to conserve it for future use,” Wei Ruo said.
“You make valid points,” Wei Jinyi said with a slight smile, “These items are
quite good too.”
“Well, I have registered your name. Maybe they’ll have their eyes on it,” Wei
Ruo said with a giggly tone.
“Don’t put too much thought into it. Even if we get that letter, it doesn t guarantee a successful apprenticeship. It might just be the shopkeeper s exaggerations.”
Wei Jinyi didn’t want Wei Ruo to put too much hope in this matter lest she be disappointed if their hopes fall through.
“Don’t worry, I did some research, that shop is reliable. The Tibetan layman barely sells his works. Mostly, only his family and close friends possess his ink treasures, so the recommendation letter will likely be effective,” Wei Ruo said.
