"It’s indeed beautiful!" Liu Wanwan praised.
"Sister-in-law, see, I told you, this hairpin is just perfect for you!" Ji Mingyue’s eyes curved with delight.
She then said, "Sister-in-law, would you like to try out other accessories?"
"No... that’s not necessary!" Liu Wanwan shook her head.
She glanced at the remaining accessories in the sandalwood box, then looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes showing hesitation once again.
"Seventeenth Princess..."
"Sister-in-law, if you keep being so distant, it ans you look down on !" Ji Mingyue said with her hands on her hips.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wanwan looked at Ji Mingyue with a gentle smile: "Yuanyuan, this is too precious, I can’t accept it!"
"Sister-in-law, saying that ans you’re underestimating !" Ji Mingyue shook her head, "We are all family, there’s no talk of what’s expensive or not!"
"Wanwan!" At this mont, the voice of Jiang Li sounded from behind Liu Wanwan.
The eyes of the people in the courtyard instantly turned towards the source of the voice, Jiang Li.
At this mont, Jiang Li was holding Little Dumpling in his arms, with Jiang Yiming following behind.
"Brother Li, is it beautiful?" Liu Wanwan adjusted the hairpin on her head and asked.
At this mont, Jiang Li’s gaze was also drawn to the hairpin on Liu Wanwan’s head.
"Beautiful!" He nodded sincerely.
"Big brother ca just in ti!" Ji Mingyue smiled.
A maid behind her stepped forward, coming to Ji Mingyue’s side.
"Brother, who is this lady?" Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning, showing confusion.
"Brother Li, this is the Seventeenth Princess!" Liu Wanwan took the initiative to introduce.
"Seventeenth Princess?" Jiang Li’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Big brother, Jiang Ning and I have already privately agreed on an engagent. You can call Mingyue!" Ji Mingyue said obediently.
"Engagent!!" Jiang Li looked incredulously at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Ji Mingyue’s statent was indeed correct.
"Miss Ming Yue, would you like to join us for dinner later?" Jiang Li instantly beca enthusiastic.
"Sure!" Ji Mingyue nodded obediently.
Then she smiled again, "Big brother, it’s my first ti eting you today, and I don’t know what gift to give you!"
As she finished speaking, Ji Mingyue reached out and pinched the red cloth on the tray held by the maid.
Then she pulled hard.
As the red cloth was lifted, a sheathed long saber was revealed.
The saber sheath was as black as ink, its body covered in dragon patterns.
In the next mont.
Ji Mingyue stretched out her hands, one gripping the sheath, the other holding the hilt.
Then she pulled forcefully.
Swish——
Along with a clear sound, the blade like snow appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Whew—
Whew—
At this mont, the blade reflected snow light, the edge glinting sharply, causing Jiang Li to squint.
He saw the unique authentication mark on the blade, his breath suddenly beca rapid.
"Is this... made by Master Ping Yezhi?!!"
"Big brother, you indeed have a keen eye!" Ji Mingyue praised, then nodded again, "This is indeed the Snow Scale Saber recently forged by Master Ping Yezhi. Today, I gift this saber to big brother as a eting gift, hoping big brother will like it!"
"This is too precious!!" Jiang Li shook his head repeatedly, then said, "This saber is worth its weight in gold, how could I deserve to wield it!"
"A treasured saber for a hero! In my eyes, big brother is a hero! Supporting a family single-handedly! Now that Jiang Ning has achieved such accomplishnts, big brother deserves great credit, how could he not be worthy!!"
Ji Mingyue spoke earnestly to Jiang Li.
Seeing the hesitation still in Jiang Li’s eyes, she grabbed the Snow Scale Saber.
Swish—
Along with a clear sheathing sound, the snow-white saber light around them disappeared from everyone’s sight.
In the next mont.
Ji Mingyue tossed the Snow Scale Saber towards Jiang Li.
"Big brother, this saber is a gift for you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li raised his hand and caught the Snow Scale Saber, which landed steadily in his hand.
"In that case, I won’t be modest! Thank you, sister-in-law!!" Jiang Li said heartily.
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue’s smile grew even brighter.
"Auntie! Pretty Auntie!! I want a gift too!!" Little Dumpling looked at Ji Mingyue, raising her hands above her head.
"What a cute little girl!" Ji Mingyue squatted in front of Little Dumpling, gently pinching her chubby cheeks: "What’s your na?"
"Pretty Auntie, my na is Jiang Yuanyuan, and my nickna is Little Dumpling. That’s what all my uncles call ! Pretty Auntie can call that too!" Little Dumpling looked at Ji Mingyue, her eyes bright and sparkling.
"You’re such a clever little one!" Ji Mingyue affectionately rubbed Little Dumpling’s head, then said, "Of course, I haven’t forgotten Little Dumpling’s gift."
After speaking, she held Little Dumpling’s small hand and stood up.
They went over to another maid, where Ji Mingyue lifted the red cloth covering the tray and took the painted jade figurine from underneath.
"Who is this?" she asked with a smile.
"This is... Little Dumpling!!" Little Dumpling’s eyes widened, seeing the jade figurine wearing a goose-yellow ruqun dress, with two shiny pearls in her hair bun, a perfect replica of herself.
"Do you like it?" Ji Mingyue placed the painted jade figurine in front of Little Dumpling.
"I love it!!" Little Dumpling reached out and took the painted jade figurine from Ji Mingyue, her eyes shining even brighter: "This little figure is so warm!!"
"Of course, it’s warm!" Ji Mingyue said with a smile: "Hold this jade figurine, it’ll keep you warm in winter and cool in sumr! And it has special effects when needed."
"What special effects?" Little Dumpling looked up at Ji Mingyue and asked.
"I can’t tell you right now!" Ji Mingyue shook her head.
"Please! Please!! Pretty Auntie, can you tell Little Dumpling, please!!!" Little Dumpling tugged on Ji Mingyue’s dress, shaking it constantly.
"If I tell you, it won’t work!" Ji Mingyue gently shook her head.
At this mont, Jiang Ning also noticed the extraordinary nature of the painted jade figurine.
Inside, there were mysterious patterns and a fullness of energy.
His eyes imdiately turned to Ji Mingyue.
Ji Mingyue gave Jiang Ning a mysterious smile and mouthed silently to him.
A lifesaver!
Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Ning’s heart was moved.
In this family, the person he was most concerned about was Little Dumpling.
Seeing Ji Mingyue speak in this way, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At that mont.
Ji Mingyue turned her attention to Jiang Yiming, who was standing silently behind Jiang Li.
"Auntie!" Noticing Ji Mingyue’s gaze, Jiang Yiming imdiately spoke politely.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Ji Mingyue’s mouth lifted involuntarily, revealing a hint of sweetness.
"This must be the eldest son of my brother and sister-in-law!"
"Yes, Auntie, my na is Jiang Yiming!" Jiang Yiming replied politely.
"A stunning na, your brother and sister-in-law picked a great na for you!" Ji Mingyue praised.
As she spoke, she led Little Dumpling and took a couple of steps to another maid.
The maid imdiately and respectfully handed the tray to Ji Mingyue, at the perfect height and distance.
Seeing this, Ji Mingyue reached out and lifted the red cloth.
The eyes of everyone in the courtyard instantly fell on the tray.
They saw a white jade bottle sealed with a red cloth.
Ji Mingyue picked up the ceramic jade bottle from the tray and led Little Dumpling to Jiang Yiming.
"This is Qingxu Temple’s Seven-orifice Exquisite Pill, there are seven pills in total, taking them can increase wisdom, with the effect of enlightening the mind."
"Seven-orifice Exquisite Pill!!" Jiang Li’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Seven pills!!" Jiang Yiming looked at Ji Mingyue’s ceramic jade bottle in disbelief, his breathing quickening.
Jiang Ning’s gaze beca astonished at this mont.
The famous Seven-orifice Exquisite Pill, he naturally knew about it.
This pill had a reputation as being worth ten thousand gold, while a single one was hard to find.
Increasing wisdom, enlightening the mind.
This effect has an extrely mystical impact on martial artists at any stage.
No one would dislike having higher wisdom.
The further one goes on the path of Martial Arts, the more they understand how crucial wisdom is.
"Auntie, this..."
"Your brother and sister-in-law accepted, you can’t refuse alone!" Ji Mingyue said with a smile, hearing Jiang Yiming’s address.
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming instinctively turned his gaze toward Jiang Ning.
"Take it!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Thank you, Auntie!!" Jiang Yiming respectfully bowed, then opened his palm for Ji Mingyue to place the white ceramic jade bottle in it.
