章節 115: Sales on Fire

Ye Jiayao moved first and handed the box that contained the Wish Jade to him. "This looks so precious, I don't think I should've taken it."

Xia Chunyu opened the box and admired the stone inside. "Your box doesn't match the Wish Jade. I will get you a better one tomorrow."

"That's just a temporary box because I was afraid I'd break it," Ye Jiayao explained.

"Look after it well, alright? This thing is rare. The whole Huai Song only has one."

"Of course, I'll take care of it. But what do I do if a thief breaks into my house?" Ye Jiayao worried. She has two treasures now, the Crown Prince's calligraphy and the Wish Jade. Oh, scratch that! She has the recipes she wrote and the 600 silvers she earned. That was all that she had as well as her first bucket of gold.
