Although Yu Xiurui knew that staying at Jiang Yu's house temporarily would definitely cause controversy, she had no other choice since Jiang Yu and Mianmian had both decided to come to the Jiang residence.

Her biggest requirement for herself now is to try not to cause trouble for others.

In her view, insisting on living alone outside is also a form of adding trouble.

After all, if she insisted, Jiang Yu would eventually agree, but he wouldn't go home; instead, he would stay at the inn with her.

Having spent so much time together, she knew this man quite well, if not completely.

She really didn't want him to be troubled because of her anymore.

Shen Xingmian had very sharp ears; just from the tone of Old Madam Jiang's voice, she knew that she was both anxious and happy.

She could completely understand this mentality.

Let alone in ancient times when early marriage was common, even in modern times, if a family's son is over thirty and still doesn't have a girlfriend, the family would be extremely anxious.

Having finally brought her home, he probably even prepared a gift for his granddaughter-in-law.

Thinking about this, Shen Xingmian began to ponder what gift she should prepare for Rui Rui so that it wouldn't seem shabby or too ingratiating.

She's really not good at giving gifts.

Moreover, the finished products in her online space were all taken from other people's warehouses, so giving them as gifts... doesn't seem quite appropriate.

If someone sees it when it's out in public, wouldn't the blame fall on the Jiang family?

No, no, that won't do.

What would be a good gift?

What else does she have in her online space that could be considered a valuable gift that also shows her thoughtfulness?

Oh, right!

She has so many ginseng roots!

The ginseng in that space is probably of such high quality that you can't find anything like it in the entire Lin Yue region. It would be incredibly valuable to give it as a gift.

Moreover, since it's a gift for an elder, it carries even greater significance.

It's valuable enough, yet it didn't cost a penny—that's so much in line with her style, haha.

Shen Xingmian quickly returned to his spatial dimension, concentrated his mental energy, and tried to dig out the most complete ginseng without any loss.

She worked with all her might for almost ten minutes before finally managing to dig it out, and she was so exhausted that she was sweating profusely.

If I hadn't been training in this area recently, I probably wouldn't have been able to dig this fast, even if I worked myself to death.

Shen Xingmian found an exquisite sandalwood box, lined it with a piece of red velvet, and then placed the ginseng inside.

Other people's century-old ginseng is all processed, but she's probably the only place in the world where you can find ginseng that's as fresh as a radish.

Because she is so fresh and delicate, her boxes are two or three times larger than ordinary ginseng boxes, otherwise they simply wouldn't fit.

After handing the box to Rui Rui, Shen Xingmian instructed, "Give this to Madam Jiang in a little while. It's our first visit, so we can't be without a gift."

Seeing that Rui Rui was about to refuse, she quickly blinked and teased:

"I can go without a gift, but Rui Rui, you can't. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Uncle Jiang Yu, right?"

This statement successfully persuaded Yu Xiurui, but it made her feel somewhat uneasy.

Finally, feeling truly unworthy of the offer, she insisted on refusing:

"It still won't work, Mianmian. You're still young and don't know how valuable this ginseng is. A ginseng of this quality would be priceless in the capital. I can't accept such a generous gift from you for nothing."

Shen Xingmian waved her hand: "Oh, it's not a free gift. I'll definitely get it back from Uncle Jiang Yu later! Don't worry, I won't lose out!"

Shen Xingmian forcefully slapped the box back into Yu Xiurui's arms, then said wistfully:

"Sigh, giving gifts is so difficult. I have to prepare one for myself, and I have no idea what to prepare. Don't worry about ginseng for now, just help me think of something else to give."

The gift should have been prepared in advance, but she probably ran too fast and arrived in the capital before we even had a chance to discuss it.

etc.

That's not right!

Shen Xingmian suddenly realized that she, as a "little child," might not be able to think about these things, but Uncle Jiang Yu, being an adult and a man, would surely consider these things for Rui Rui.

When bringing your future wife home, you need to make a good impression on her mother and grandmother. Shouldn't you prepare the gifts carefully in advance?

Shen Xingmian suddenly remembered the carriage that was packed full of things when she left the villa. She realized that Uncle Jiang Yu might not have been unprepared, but had already prepared everything, but just hadn't told them yet.

Yes, an excellent man.

She was even more optimistic about the future of this couple!

"Rui Rui, wait for me to go back and look again. Although ginseng is valuable, it's not good to only send one. I'm sure I can find something else. Wait for me a little while."

After saying that, she returned to her spatial dimension before anyone could refuse.

She's recently gotten into the habit of staying near the tent at the edge of the field, almost forgetting that the house next to the warehouse was her more familiar place to stay before.

yes!

The warehouse contains many modern items, including rare items that are worthless in modern times but are priceless here.

Once we find some of these things, what's there to worry about with just two small gifts?

With that in mind, Shen Xingmian plunged into the warehouse and began searching with her consciousness.

There are many things that ancient techniques could not produce, and as far as she knew, the most valuable of all was a mirror.

An ordinary mirror in modern times becomes a priceless treasure here, and many other glass products are in the same situation.

For example, glass balls that are exactly the same size but have different patterns, and a very cheap set of glasses.

She had collected quite a few of those glacier-patterned glasses because she liked them, just so that they would look refreshing when she drank chilled beverages in the summer. Now they're coming in handy.

She had prepared one for each member of her family, how could she have almost forgotten about it?

The mirrors in the space are all simple in style, none of them have complicated patterns on the back, they are all basic everyday styles.

But now Shen Xingmian is a "craftswoman" who can sculpt all kinds of shapes out of metal with her bare hands, and these are no challenge for her at all.

I found some bronze mirrors taken from the palace, picked out two with styles that looked pleasing to the eye and auspicious meanings, and started sculpting them directly from their images.

Thanks to having crafted so many weapons by hand, Shen Xingmian now finds it effortless to pinch the patterns behind the mirror.

In no time, two palm-sized oval mirrors were finished. They were very beautiful and reflected people very clearly.

I believe that both Old Madam Jiang and Madam Jiang would like it very much.
