Lin Qing was killed by her best friend and scumbag boyfriend!
After her death, Lin Qing stayed by the side of the betraying couple, watching their affection with helplessness!
Fortunate...
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun did not return to their room. Instead, they sat on a soft patch of grass and began to open the gifts from their families one by one. Next to them was Gu Nianqing, who was sleeping on Duobao (in fact, she was cultivating), and Huanling, who was right next to Duobao.
Lin Qing first opened the wooden box given by Liu Xiuyun and Chen Guozhong. Inside was a set of imperial green jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, and bracelet. It shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, and its warm texture and delicate carving highlighted its preciousness and extraordinary nature.
This set of jewelry shines bright green under the light, with a vivid color and delicate texture, giving it a dignified and noble aesthetic.
The imperial green jadeite set that Liu Xiuyun gave to Lin Qing is the best and most valuable green color among jadeite, also known as "emerald green". The jewelry shows a deep lake green under sunlight, a bright green under strong light, and a bright green under digital flash. The color changes unpredictably and is breathtakingly beautiful.
The material of this jewelry is extremely rare, hence its high price. There is a saying in later generations: "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless," which refers to this kind of exquisite jade.
Imperial green jadeite is a type of jade that can be made into various kinds of jewelry and ornaments. It is not only bright green, but it is also said to have the effect of bringing good luck and warding off evil when made into Pixiu and other items.
In later generations, many women were proud to own a set of imperial green jadeite jewelry.
Lin Qing carefully took out the jewelry and examined it closely in the sunlight. The imperial green color became even more vibrant under the sunlight, as if it contained a life force. Lin Qing herself now had several sets of jade jewelry, but she really didn't have one as beautiful as this one.
"Brother Nanxun, isn't this too expensive?" After admiring the jewelry, Lin Qing carefully placed it back into the wooden box and then said to Gu Nanxun with a nervous expression. Such a precious gift, perhaps Grandma only had this one set! Lin Qing never expected that her grandmother would give her such a gift without hesitation.
"Grandpa and Grandma are so kind. This is a token of their appreciation. We will accept it and take good care of them in the future."
Gu Nanxun reached out and patted Lin Qing's head to comfort her. He could tell that his wife really liked the jewelry.
Moreover, this is Grandma's heartfelt wish, which they can see and feel. The Chen family is actively and diligently accepting them and making amends to them, hoping that they can get along with them without any barriers.
Then Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun called to report a gift from Hu Ying and Chen Tianming. Inside was a pair of exquisite jade pendants, carved with lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns, which were obviously quite valuable.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a smile, a warm feeling welling up in their hearts. In fact, what Lin Qing liked most was the unity of the Chen family. Everyone in the Chen family, whether old or young, was very united, without the infighting that occurs in other families.
The eldest brother, Chen Zhihua, gifted them a pair of watches. What was most remarkable was that they were a pair of couple's watches, with leather straps and simple yet elegant dials with a retro feel—a rare find at the time. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun were both delighted, with Lin Qing examining the watches repeatedly.
"Brother Nanxun, this watch is so exquisite. The leather strap and the retro dial design are perfect for us," Lin Qing exclaimed, her eyes revealing her delight in the gift.
Gu Nanxun nodded; he also really liked the gift. The leather strap was not only comfortable but also gave off a classic and elegant feel, perfectly matching their lifestyle. Such a watch was not just a recorder of time, but also a symbol of taste.
"Yes, it's really suitable for us. It's great for everyday wear or for collecting. Plus, the design of this watch is classic and won't go out of style easily. Even in future generations, it will still be considered a classic model," Gu Nanxun replied with a smile.
"My brother must have gone to great lengths to get these two watches."
Lin Qing carefully put the watch away, then smiled and said to Gu Nanxun.
Gu Nanxun nodded, then a smile appeared on his lips.
The gift from her second brother, Chen Yaohua, was a set of twelve zodiac animals made of gold. Each animal was crafted to be lifelike, and Lin Qing liked it very much.
"Brother Nanxun, look, these twelve zodiac animal designs are so cute!"
Lin Qing's eyes sparkled with excitement as she gently stroked each of the zodiac animals, as if she could feel the golden light emanating from them.
Gu Nanxun smiled as he looked at Lin Qing. "Second brother is so thoughtful. This gift is not only valuable for collection, but also full of artistic appeal," Nanxun exclaimed.
Lin Qing nodded and picked up the zodiac dragon, which was her zodiac animal. Two small rubies were set in the dragon's eyes, seemingly gleaming with wisdom. She gently shook it, and the dragon seemed to come alive in her hand, ready to soar through the clouds.
"Brother Nanxun, look at this dragon, its eyes seem to be talking." Lin Qing handed the dragon to Nanxun so that he could also feel its specialness.
Nan Xun took the dragon and examined it carefully. He could feel the care Chen Yaohua had put into making these zodiac animals; every detail was handled perfectly, even the dragon's scales were carved lifelike.
"This is not just a set of zodiac animals, but more like a series of works of art."
Nanxun remarked with emotion that while gold shops in later generations also sold sets of twelve zodiac animals, none were nearly as exquisitely crafted as this set. He added that his second brother had told him he made it himself, but he never imagined his brother possessed such skill.
Lin Qing nodded in agreement. She put the dragon back in its place and then began to admire the other zodiac animals. Each animal had its own unique charm; whether it was the gentle sheep or the mighty tiger, they were all irresistible.
Next, Lin Qing opened the gift given by her third brother, Chen Aihua. It was an ancient book about food therapy.
Lin Qing carefully opened the ancient book, and saw the four large characters "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica" written in seal script on the cover. This book records in detail the medicinal value and dietary therapy methods of various foods, and is a treasure of ancient dietary therapy culture.
"Brother Nanxun, this book is so precious. Third Brother has truly given us a priceless treasure."
Lin Qing sighed as she flipped through the pages.
Nan Xun leaned over, and the two began studying the book together. The book not only recorded the properties and effects of various ingredients, but also detailed how to choose suitable dietary therapy plans based on individual constitution and seasonal changes.
"Look, it even mentions food pairing taboos here, it's really meticulous."
Nan Xun pointed to a page and said.
