「Two days later.」
Chen Shaobei braved the scorching weather and went into the city to visit a mansion.
Clad in silver armor, his presence was intimidating.
Chen Shaobei explained the purpose of his visit to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was surprised. "Sir, are you saying you wish to buy the white porcelain fish tank our master brought back?"
Chen Shaobei nodded slightly. "To be frank, a friend of mine saw it once and took a great liking to it, so I wish to buy it."
"Feel free to name your price. My intentions are sincere; all I want is that fish tank."
As he spoke, he took out a small bag of gold and offered it to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper, even more astonished, said hurriedly, "Sir, please follow me into the courtyard. I must ask my master first."
Chen Shaobei nodded. "My thanks."
He followed him into the courtyard.
The housekeeper invited him to wait in the main hall and served him tea.
