บท 164: A Banquet in the Palace

Upon hearing the word, the expression on Cao Youning's face suddenly changed.

It would naturally appear weird if he carried a desk back to the mansion of Grand Secretary, no matter how delicate it was packed. After all, it was unique in the world. However, a book of rubbings... could be copied without any limitation, if ink and paper were provided. If he really took the book of rubbings to the mansion, how could he explain to his brother-in-law?

Looking at the uninvited handmaiden with a slightly-black face, he sullenly said, "Who are you?"

Having a glance at him and knowing his intention, Dewdrop reluctantly but smilingly said, "The desk you want to buy belongs to that...Master Yan Se, but the writing was Ning Que's original works. The girl was Ning Que's handmaiden, whose voice, to be honest, matters a lot. If you really want to take something valuable home, I advise you to be more polite."
