Lin Wanwan felt that the ancient zither in her hand was quite extraordinary, but she couldn't discern its true value. She didn't really want to ask Xiao Chong, so she planned to have Lu Shouyue take a look at it.
After troubling Lu Shouyue several times, Lin Wanwan decided to reciprocate by bringing him a pair of nephrite jade paperweights as a gift.
This pair of paperweights was purchased by Lin Wanwan from the main store of Treasure House in Xiaoxi Town. They claimed to be crafted by a renowned artisan, and the store touted them with extravagant praise. Lin Wanwan thought the craftsmanship was indeed remarkable, so she bought them for a few taels of pepper!
The paperweights were from the Great Tang, which inherently gave them a certain prestige, so Lin Wanwan didn't feel guilty about gifting them.
By the time it was nearly six in the modern evening, carrying the zither, she took a cab directly to Lu Shouyue's antique shop, as he happened to be there today.
