"Second brother, have you also heard about the mystery box?" Wei Ruo asked.
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.” Wei Jinyi said.
Xiaobei on the side added: "Miss, Madam has bought seven or eight boxes for the eldest young master. Everyone in this mansion knows it."
"I see." Wei Ruo was not surprised at all. She had already heard the conversation between Yun Shi and Wei Yichen that day, and naturally knew that they would definitely be interested in this matter.
"Do Ruo’er also want to get the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk?" Wei Jinyi asked.
"It’s not about the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk. A recommendation letter is more important. After receiving the recommendation letter, second brother can become a disciple of the Tibetan monk." Wei Ruo replied.
"Do you want me to become a disciple of the Tibetan monk?" Wei Jinyi asked.
"Didn't second brother change his mind recently and plan to take the Imperial exam? So even if you haven’t learned anything about the exam, if you become a disciple from a master, you could take the exam." Wei Ruo said.
“Hmm.”
"Second brother doesn't like to become a disciple?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jinyi looked at Wei Ruo, seeing her joyful and lively expression, as well as the anticipation in her eyes.
"If it’s suitable, I will become his disciple, but let’s not force it. Ruo’er doesn't need to be too concerned about it, so you won’t be disappointed later." Wei Jinyi replied.
"Then second brother, open it quickly. I'm also curious about my luck!"
Wei Ruo curiously said, she really didn't know what was inside the mystery box she randomly picked.
After those boxes were assembled, there was no special mark to identify them. So even Wei Ruo, as the planner, did not know which box contained the Tibetan monk calligraphy.
Under the gaze of Wei Ruo's curious eyes, Wei Jinyi opened the box, and inside were the four treasures of study, all four of them.
Wei Ruo looked at it, "Okay, I'm really lucky. I got the paper, so it’s not a loss. And this inkstone is also a relatively expensive one, so it’s not a loss at all."
Xiaobei couldn't help but say: "Miss, just having paper makes you happy. If you really get the box with the Tibetan monk’s calligraphy, I wonder how happy you will be!"
"As a person, you must be content. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck. You can't ask for too much. If the luck is used up all at once, it will be useless on anything else. We'd better save some luck!" Wei Ruo said.
“You have a point.” Wei Jinyi smiled lightly, “These things are pretty good too.”
“Anyway, I’ve registered your name, second brother. You might get it later.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Don't worry too much, even if I receive that letter, I may not be able to successfully become an apprentice. Perhaps it's the store’s exaggeration."
Wei Jinyi didn't want Wei Ruo to have too many expectations on this matter, so as not to be disappointed if her hopes were crushed in the future.
"Don't worry, second brother. I have asked around and found out that the store is quite reliable. Tibetan monks rarely sell his works to the public. Most of the people who can obtain his calligraphy are his close relatives and friends, so the possibility of a letter of recommendation is very high."
"Since Ruo'er thinks so, I'll look forward to it." Wei Jinyi changed his words.
“Yeah, yes, second brother, please look forward to it.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Um." A light smile appeared on Wei Jinyi's face, his eyes gazing at Wei Ruo.
She always seemed to be very considerate of him, thinking of him first in everything, worrying and rejoicing for him, shining a ray of light into his dim and boring life.

At the same time, on the other side of the Colonel's Mansion, there were also people worrying about these boxes.
