Chu Yu was packing things in her room.
Twenty luminous pearls the size of longan fruits, forty almost identical, round and pure white top-quality pearls, four pieces of flawless jade and agate, two shiny gold bars, and various gemstones creating a dazzling array of colors that were almost blinding.
Chu Yu carefully counted everything once before separately placing them into soft silk bags, which she then put into a backpack made from double-layered thick linen that had been dyed blue with its corners partially bleached, making it look like a water-milled denim backpack from later times.
Suppressing her excited heart, Chu Yu put down the backpack and picked up the clothes she had tailor-made.
