Old Master Chen was busy arranging for the servants to brew the best tea and bring out the best snacks.
Upon seeing Chu Xiao, he quickly put down what he was doing and personally came to greet him.
"Young Master Chu, you've finally arrived! This old man has been waiting for you for ages."
As he said this, his gaze fell on the wooden box in Chu Xiao's arms.
Chu Xiao saw through her intentions but didn't say anything. He casually sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Grandpa Chen, I've come as promised with some things. I'd like to see Miss Huo. Is she in?"
Old Master Chen couldn't wait to have the servants serve tea.
"Zishan knew that Mr. Chu was in a hurry to see the divine doctor, so he went to invite him personally. Why don't you have some tea first, Mr. Chu? This is the finest Hongding Yucui tea, which I specially prepared for you."
Drinking tea was just an excuse; what I really wanted to see were antiques.
Chu Xiao wasn't such an unapproachable person; he deliberately placed the brocade box on the tea table between the two of them.
Grandpa Chen immediately picked up his reading glasses and leaned forward.
When he saw the brocade box up close, his hands trembled with excitement.
This is a double-layered wooden jewelry box inlaid with white jade. The main material is sandalwood, which is carved with auspicious clouds. The lid is made of a single piece of white jade, and the two layers are connected by bronze wire.
The process was complicated, but the whole box looked exceptionally new and shiny.
"Young Master Chu, this box of yours is the special dressing box for the Great Princess! Look at the corner of the dressing box..."
“In ancient imperial palaces, there were many concubines, princesses and princes. In order to make it easier to count their property, each person’s dressing box would be engraved with their name.”
"This thing is like a symbol of a person's identity, and it's so well preserved, it's simply a rare find!"
Chu Xiao hadn't really noticed any of that.
Because Qin Yue Zhao always gave him a lot of things, he only thought he should bring some valuable items to the auction this time, so he just grabbed a dressing box. He didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"Oh, so this box of mine can also be auctioned off?"
Old Chen nodded hurriedly.
"Don't even mention auctions, even the largest museum in S City doesn't have an item like yours. This is an object that proves its existence in history, how could it not be valuable?"
Chu Xiao: Whether an object proves history or not doesn't matter, as long as it's valuable.
"Then I'll auction this one off as well..."
Before the word "sell" could be finished, the sound of a car parking at the door came from outside.
Then I saw Huo Zishan walk into the yard with a woman carrying a white medical kit.
The woman wore a snow-white dress, and had a head of dreamy long golden hair that cascaded over her shoulders in natural curls, reaching down to her full chest as she walked.
Her eyes were as deep as jewels, radiating a mysterious light.
Upon seeing Chu Xiao, she instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Xiao, it's you!"
