My mother approached with a smile that was almost too sweet, and I noticed she was holding a small, gift-wrapped box in her hand. What kind of gift could she possibly be giving at this hour?

"Penelope, I know yeen feeling down lately. I heard you've also been eating less than usual, which is not good for you. Anna's been thoughtful, you know. She went to the auction and bought two sets of fine porcelain dinnerware."

"Take it away; I don't need it." Grandma's face was cold. I don't want anything from her."

"Penelope, just take a look," my mother insisted, pulling the porcelain set out of the box.

It was a beautiful set of blue-and-white dinnerware.

The porcelain was sietiple and elegant, with a white base and delicate blue floral designs.

But what caught my attention was not the flowers or birds, but the words written on it in the Auntari language.

Grandma asked, "What's this?"

"This is the very reason for this set to be incredibly valuable," my mother said excitedly. "It was created by two masters from different fields."

"Different field?" Grandma's eyes narrowed suspiciously

"Yes," my mother continued. "The pottery was made by a renowned ceramic artist, but the inscriptions on the pieces were copied by a famous calligrapher. These bowls are infused with divine power.

At the mention of divine, Grandma's expression changed slightly. "Really?"

"Of course. Anna knows you've been devoted to your spiritual practice, and she went through a lot to acquire this set. These are handcrafted by two of the finest artisans-people have been clamoring for them. Anna paid a high price. When you are using them to have your meal, you will definitely live a longer life.
