Ye Shenghe was moved by his daughter's obedient and sensible actions. While stroking her hair, his eyes were filled with comfort. He hadn't noticed before that Ye Yuning had unknowingly become as sensible as an adult, and completely lost the immaturity from before.

After going through so many troubles and torments, Ye Yuning didn't complain to herself at all. All of her thoughts were completely focused on how to accompany him and Lady Wen at all costs.

"Your mother has already promised. We won't go too far. We'll just stroll around the shop and come back at noon." Dad only wants to take you out to relax. "

Ye Yuning thought about the few things she needed for Lady Wen's birthday present, and taking the chance to go out, she was just able to fill in all the missing things, so she nodded and agreed.

After that, Ye Yuning went back to her room to pack up and changed into her outer clothes. She did not change her hair bun at all, she only added a pair of jade hairpins with Five Blessings on them, powdered slightly, and brought Fei Xiu and Yi Xin out.

The Ye Family had five or six stores in the Yin Zhou City, including rice shop, clothing shop, as well as shops selling gold, silver, jewelry, and all sorts of antiques.

Since the Ye Family did not split up, these shops were owned by the public. The Ye Family's masters could buy these shops, but with a certain limit.

There were not many opportunities for Ye Shenghe to personally bring him out for shopping, so Ye Yuning had already informed Ye Shenghe beforehand. If he saw anything that he liked, he would bring it over without hesitation, so Ye Shenghe would not feel sorry for his pockets.

Ye Shenghe didn't mind this at all, he only told Ye Yuning that he should take as much as he could if he got his eyes on anything. Since this official was out on a mission with his daughter, the gift he could make up for it was not even a thousandth of what he had lost.

Ye Shenghe brought Ye Yuning to an antique shop. Once Ye Yuning got off the carriage, she raised her head and saw a signboard that read "Orchid Pavilion" on top of the shop.

"Dad, this isn't our shop, is it?"

The Ye Family's store would always have the word "Ye" on it, so it was very easy to distinguish.

Ye Shenghe slightly nodded. Without explaining anything, he brought Ye Yuning in. The moment the two of them entered, an old shopkeeper in his fifties immediately walked up to them.

"Boss, why have you come?"

"Manager Qiu, how have you been?"

The two started to exchange greetings. Ye Yuning listened in curiosity, but obediently stood behind Ye Shenghe and did not make a sound.

"This is Manager Qiu, he has been managing this shop." Ye Shenghe explained in a low voice, "This shop was originally set up by father when he was young, in partnership with friends. Originally, it was just a play, I didn't expect it to be opened for more than ten years."

Ye Yuning immediately widened her eyes. She had never heard her father mention this before in her previous life!

"This is father's secret, we can't tell others." Ye Shenghe winked at his daughter, causing Ye Yuning to laugh with his head down.

"Dad, don't worry. Why would I speak carelessly of something like this?" Ye Yuning laughed in his heart. So even though his father looked kind and honest, he actually owned a private shop as well!

"My good daughter, you choose one yourself. As long as you take a fancy to the things in this shop, your father will give them to you." In order to make up for Ye Yuning's grievances, Ye Shenghe almost patted her chest and said.

"Thank you, Father." Ye Yuning hugged Ye Shenghe's sleeves, his eyes shining like the stars.

Looking at the shelves, Ye Yuning was even more surprised, "All the items sold in this shop are all treasures! It's not that easy for the shops outside to find these things. "

The Qilin seal was the size of a palm, it was red like blood and carved from fine bloodstone. There were simple lines on the surface of the rock, and an old cow was lying on its back, looking up at the moon. There was a half-man-sized leaf of a buddha, a bright topaz, and a pearl the size of a fist … Everything was rare and exquisite.

Even though Ye Yuning had experienced two lifetimes, she couldn't help but praise in her heart. The cheapest of these items was worth at least a hundred taels of silver. If the price was added together, this seemingly small shop was indeed quite valuable.

Ye Yuning didn't really understand mischievous stones, but after staying in Duke of Pingjiang's residence for a few years, she could be considered to have somewhat good eyesight.

"Dad, why is this Duan Yan a little different?" Ye Yuning pointed to a two feet wide stone platform in the shop.

This inkstone's color was clear and bright. Its entire body was black, but the place where the ink was being ground at the center was completely black. Compared to the ordinary pure colors of the inkstone, it was extremely unusual. Just that, looking at it this way, Ye Yuning felt that she had seen it somewhere before.

"Haha, Yu Ning has good taste indeed!" This is the treasure of our shop! " Ye Shenghe laughed with pride.

Hearing the words "Treasure of the shop", Ye Yuning became even more curious, "Father, let me see!"

For some reason, this inkstone looked very similar to one of the famous items in her memory.

Ye Shenghe nodded his head, then ordered the shopkeeper to bring him some clean water, which he slowly poured into the center of the inkstone platform. The water was only a thin layer, and was pitch-black under the black light of the inkstone.

Ye Shenghe picked up another brush and dipped it lightly, then he started to write on a piece of paper at the side. A large "Ye" appeared before his eyes.

When Ye Yuning saw it, she immediately opened her eyes wide, "This is clearly clear water, how did it turn into ink?"

Ye Yuning was in disbelief, and she subconsciously rubbed her eyes. Ye Shenghe laughed out loud, put down the brush, and let the shopkeeper keep everything.

"This is daddy's treasure, I can't give it to you."

Hearing that, Ye Yuning pouted: "Isn't it just an inkstone, I don't care!" Although she said that, Ye Yuning was surprised.

There were only three inkstones in the world, one of them was in the palace, the other was kept by Yi Zu, he never thought that she would see the third one today!

In his previous life, Ye Yuning had never heard Ye Shenghe talk about this place. If it wasn't to make up for the hardships Ye Yuning had endured, she wouldn't even have had a chance to see this place.

"I wonder where my father got this ink stone from." Ye Yuning muttered to himself.

Just then, Ye Shenghe took out another strange treasure for Ye Yuning to see.

These were all things he had brought back from the Western Regions. There were emerald-made horses, a jade cicada the size of half a palm, a brightly colored copper mirror, and even a gorgeous, multicolored peacock.

Ye Yuning liked it the more she looked at it. She couldn't help but play with it in her hands. Such a rare thing was rarely seen in ordinary times. Seizing this chance, Ye Yuning wanted to play with everything she was interested in to prevent herself from missing out on such an opportunity.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded beside Ye Yuning's ears.

Uncle, Third Sister, what a coincidence, why are all of you here? Ye Yuning frowned, she raised her eyes and looked, to her surprise, to see Ye Yuying striding over with graceful steps.
