Shen Qiu was startled for a mont, and the maid behind her quickly ca forward and handed her a box.
She opened it and saw that it wasn’t anything special, just a silver hairpin, but it was still a token of soone’s kindness, so she accepted it.
"Thank you!"
"Don’t be polite, it’s your adulthood ceremony today." Shen Qiu waved her hand, her face looking a little gloomy.
A mont later, Xiu’er brought the food and set it up in the outer room. Shen Qiu looked at these dishes, much better than what she usually ate, even during festivals her als couldn’t compare to this, and she felt extrely uncomfortable in her heart.
After all, the maid who had been with her for one or two years knew her thoughts and said hurriedly, "Miss, let take off your jade bracelet for you. This is a fine furong jade, and it can easily break if it accidentally bumps the table during the al."
At this ti, Yang Chuxia was drinking soup, and upon hearing this, she spat it all out.
So the food on the table was sprayed over without having eaten anything.
Yang Chuxia wiped her mouth and waved her hand, "Xiu’er, go and bring a new set of tableware and food."
"Yes, Miss, I’ll go right away." After Xiu’er finished speaking, she went out, and soon two old won ca in to quickly remove the food.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a new table of food was served.
"Shen Qiu, have you removed your bracelet?"
"Yes, yes." Shen Qiu’s heart felt even more uncomfortable.
Her maid originally ntioned the furong jade bracelet to make Yang Chuxia envious, but Yang Chuxia just directly sprayed a table of good food, and then quickly had another table of good food brought in.
Moreover, seeing that Yang Chuxia didn’t care about the wasted food at all, it really made Shen Qiu feel the wealth of the Yang Family once again.
So, how could she feel comfortable in her heart?
"Miss, I’d better hold onto this bracelet for you, in case it accidentally bumps sothing. This jade bracelet has an excellent texture. It was bought from the prefecture by the master. We don’t have this kind of jade in Quanya." Shen Qiu’s maid said again.
"Ah, you take it, but be careful, if it breaks, selling you wouldn’t be enough to pay for it." When she said this, Shen Qiu’s eyes were still looking at Yang Chuxia, thinking why Yang Chuxia wouldn’t say anything?.
Although the jewelry Yang Chuxia was wearing was also good, it was made of pearls and couldn’t compare with her own.
Shen Qiu was looking at Yang Chuxia expectantly, but Yang Chuxia was only focused on drinking her soup. Then she said, "Shen Qiu, this soup is really good, do you want to try so first?"
"No, thanks, I’ll have sothing else first." Seeing that Yang Chuxia didn’t respond to her words, Shen Qiu had to temporarily drop the subject.
At this ti, Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu, the little friend, walked in hand in hand, "Sister, Brother Zi’an asked to bring you a gift."
"Really? What is it?"
"You’ll know when you open it." Yang Xiayun placed a large box on the table.
Yang Chuxia didn’t think much about why Ye Zi’an gave her the box at this ti, and she just opened it. As soon as she opened it, she saw a plethora of soft pink flowers—lotus, furong, peony, orchid—a row of ten furong jade flower hairpins.
Underneath were ten matching pairs of earrings, also made of the sa kind of jade—lotus, furong flowers, and so on, with jade carved flowers and long silver tassels.
Below the earrings were ten hair clasps, again made from the sa kind of jade.
The box had two layers, and when she opened the first layer, the second layer contained jade necklaces of the sa quality. Lastly, there were three pairs of furong jade bracelets along with seven pairs of bracelets, with varying lengths and sizes of beads.
Looking at all these, let alone Shen Qiu being shattered with envy, even she herself felt amazed.
Furong jade, also known as pink jade, was extrely valuable in ancient tis, especially considering the craftsmanship of these pieces. They were definitely several tis better than Shen Qiu’s.
