065 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Alone in the warehouse

Not long after, the goods were shipped and the inventory was completed. The servants and the accountant paid tribute to Zhao Shuyu and Huo Yikun, reported their numbers, and then left.

Huo Yikun personally keeps the keys to the warehouse in the courtyard, which is the most important place in the treasury.

There were guards guarding the gate outside the courtyard, and even the master’s personal slaves such as Qian Wu and Xiao Xing’er were not eligible to enter.

Thinking that she could see the rare treasures, Zhao Shuyu followed Huo Yikun into the courtyard without much hesitation.

At this time, the courtyard was quiet, because it was a treasury function, and there were no exquisite pavilions or trees.

At a glance, you can see several thick and solid wooden doors, with expensive diamond locks hanging on them.

Huo Yikun took out the key and opened the door of the warehouse facing outside the courtyard. This is the largest warehouse in the treasury, and it is also the place where large and valuable items are placed.

The things that the servants had just brought in were placed in a conspicuous place at the door in an orderly manner, including pink coral trees, colorful glazed towers, agate luminous lamps, and several valuable rare things, which made Zhao Shuyu marvel.

“Brother Huo, how much are these things worth?”

Zhao Shuyu bent down, looked down at the pink coral tree, and asked curiously.

Huo Yikun stood not far behind, looking at the little butt raised towards him, listening to the soft and waxy “Brother Huo”, he was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: “More than ten thousand gold, it is priceless.”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyu immediately withdrew her little hand that wanted to touch the coral tree.

He turned around timidly and said, “It’s so precious.”

Huo Yikun looked at those pure grape eyes and did not feel greedy after smelling the treasure. He was silent and said: “These things will be sent to the government office tomorrow as Jinzhou’s annual tribute to the court this year.”

Unexpectedly, this was actually a tribute item. Zhao Shuyu nodded. At that moment, she only dared to watch and did not dare to touch it easily.

After walking around a few treasures for two times, the excitement was over. Zhao Shuyu suddenly remembered something, “Brother Huo, just now Qian Wu said that there are dzi beads that glow at night, why didn’t you see them?”

Hearing this, Huo Yikun’s eyes darkened, but his expression remained normal as he said, “The Dzi Bead is in the room. If you want to see it, Miss Fourth, come with me.”

The huge warehouse is slightly spacious except for the entrance, with rows of wooden shelves and wooden cabinets placed on both sides.

Huo Yikun led Zhao Shuyu around two rows of wooden cabinets and walked to a corner of the warehouse.

There was a row of wooden shelves placed in this corner. On the wooden shelves were placed precious spices, cloths, and various furs. The space between the wooden shelves and the wall was very narrow, and the light was dim. Zhao Shuyu looked at Huo Yikun without knowing why.

“Huo, Brother Huo?”

She spoke timidly, and suddenly found herself and Butler Huo in a deserted corner.

Zhao Shuyu’s little heart skipped a beat. In the past, when the two of them were alone, Butler Huo would…

“What are you thinking, Miss Fourth? Look at me like this.”

Suddenly, Huo Yikun spoke.

“It’s nothing.” Zhao Shuyu lowered her head with a twinkling look, “Brother Huo, isn’t he going to show Yu’er the Dzi beads?”

Huo Yikun lowered his eyes and took out a delicate little bag from the purse on his waist.

Zhao Shuyu took the kit and opened it.

A thin chain was pulled out from the inside. The chain was not long, only about five or six inches. One end of the chain was embedded with a milky white and translucent bead. The texture of the bead was unknown. It looked like jade, not jade, nor glass. There were oblate lines on it, which looked very delicate.

“This is so beautiful.”

After Zhao Shuyu played with the Dzi beads for a while, she was ready to return them to Huo Yikun.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yikun didn’t take it back. Instead, he looked at her intently and said in a hoarse tone: “This bead also has another function. It is what Miss Fourth needs, to reduce swelling and relieve pain.”
