Shuyu had three vanity boxes. One was made of ceramic, used to keep mirrors, combs, hairpins, perfumes, and other small items typically used by women. Another lacquered box was filled with luxurious silk and brocades, mostly gifts from clients.
As for the Yin Ghost Jade, it was stored in a silver vanity box. When Xu Qing opened it, he was instantly hit by the dazzling display of jewelry and valuable items like gold and silver ornaments and agate jade bracelets.

Although Xu Qing wasn't a high-class thief, he disliked engaging in such underhanded deeds like looting from brothels.
