"May I ask the shopkeeper, are these items crystal or glass?"

"Your Excellency, this place is all glass. There is a small amount of crystal on the second floor, but mostly glass. The third floor has some rare stones, plus glass that is not on display to the public."

"oh?"

"Shopkeeper, if you don't display your products, how are customers supposed to choose and buy them?"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"In reply to Your Excellency, the glassware on our third floor is only sold to those who can afford it. Each piece costs one thousand strings of cash, and you can only choose after you have paid in advance."

Yan Wan immediately became interested upon hearing this, so she skipped the first and second floors and went straight to the third floor.

"Shopkeeper, I want a thousand strings of cash!"

"Please pay first, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wan immediately turned to the butler and said.

"Did you bring enough money?"

"Your Highness, there are three thousand taels of gold in the carriage, enough to buy the entire shop!"

"Bring me two hundred taels of gold!"

"promise!"

Before long, the steward brought two hundred taels of gold and placed them heavily on the shop counter.

"Shopkeeper, please take the goods!"

The shopkeeper first had someone examine the gold, and seeing that they were all pure gold ingots, he then turned to ask Yan Wan about them.

"May I ask what shape of glass you would like, sir?"

What shape?

"right!"

"You can choose your benefactor from among the twelve zodiac animals!"

Yan Wan thought for a moment and said.

"Do you have a dragon shape?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately opened a cabinet, which was filled with transparent glass dragon sculptures.

Yan Wan was a woman who had seen the world, but when she saw so many exquisite glass pieces, she was still stunned.

The smallest of the glass pieces in the cabinet was a foot tall, while the largest was a staggering five feet tall, and the entire piece was made of glass.

"this……"

"Please choose one, esteemed guest!"

Yan Wan frowned upon hearing this and pointed to the entire cabinet.

"I don't want others to give me the same thing!"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"These were originally meant for important people. Once they've made their selections, we'll destroy the rest!"

Hearing this, Yan Wan happily picked out the largest one, and then watched as the shopkeeper smashed all the other dragon-shaped glass items in the cabinet before leaving satisfied.

However, shortly after he left, Li Yuanying also entered...
