Chapter 167 Gift Exchange

"Mingzhu, you're here." A clear female voice called her from Linglong Pavilion.

Ye Mingzhu's face was full of surprise: "Sister Lin, you are back?"

Lin Dongjia, who had lost a lot of weight, came over with a smile on his face and pulled her inside. "I'm back and brought you a gift. I was thinking of finding someone to send you a letter, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. Mrs. Lin's mental outlook was obviously different. Before, Mrs. Lin gave people the impression of being a gentle lady from a wealthy family, but now it seemed that she had become much more lively, and there was a feeling that the clouds had parted and the sun was shining brightly.

"Sister Lin seems to be doing well this time when she returned. She smiles more often." Ye Mingzhu did not mention that Mrs. Lin had lost weight.

Lin Dongjia's smile remained unchanged: "Life is short, if you think positively, everything will be fine."

Ye Mingzhu nodded and did not ask about Lin Dongjia's personal affairs. She took out all the drawings she brought with her: "Sister Lin, I drew a few drawings these days, take a look."

Mrs. Lin was very satisfied that Ye Mingzhu did not ask about her private affairs. Although the matter had been almost resolved, she did not want to bring up her private affairs.

"Don't be in a hurry to look at the picture. I'll take you to the inner room. Take a look." Lin Dongjia went out and brought back a brocade box and handed it to her.

As soon as Ye Mingzhu opened it, she felt a moist feeling in front of her eyes.

Inside the brocade box were a pair of jade bracelets and a pair of jade hairpins. Neither of them had complicated shapes, but the hairpins were emerald green all over and looked very comfortable.

"How is it? Beautiful, isn't it? We have quite a few pearl jewels in our own shop, and I guess you have corals too, but jadeite like this is rare. When I saw this set of jewels in the capital, I immediately thought of you, so I brought it back for you."

Lin Dongjia reached out and took out a jade bracelet: "I think you can wear it."

Before Ye Mingzhu could see clearly, Mr. Lin had already put the bracelet on her.

"Sister Lin, this bracelet is probably not cheap." Ye Mingzhu felt a chill on her wrist.

"This was made by our own shop in the city. We are one of them. It doesn't cost much."

Lin Dongjia said lightly that he didn't want Ye Mingzhu to have any psychological burden.

A warm feeling surged in Ye Mingzhu's heart. She had a similar bracelet in her space, but Lin Dongjia gave her such a valuable thing without blinking an eye. He treated her as his own.

"Sister Lin is so kind to me, I would be honored to refuse." Ye Mingzhu did not refuse anymore and stood up to express her gratitude.

"That's right. You are my sister, and I can't stand those who clearly want something but try hard to refuse." Mr. Lin didn't know what he was thinking about. He curled his lips and shook his head with a look of disdain.

"However, Sister Lin is so good to me, I can't treat her badly. I went to the sea a few times recently and found some good things to give to Sister."

Ye Mingzhu took out the coral box that she had prepared yesterday. Fortunately, she brought a small backpack when she came today, so it could not be seen from the outside, otherwise she would not be able to take the box out.

Lin Dongjia touched the box and said, "This box seems to have been soaked in water."

Ye Mingzhu chuckled twice. She didn't expect that Mr. Lin had such sharp eyes. She just found this box randomly in the space.

The most common things in her space now are wooden boxes and trunks, all of which were fished out of the sea. She doesn't know much about wood, and it's difficult for others to identify them, so she just puts them in the space to store things.

"Sister Lin, don't look at this box, look at what's inside the box." Ye Mingzhu opened the box.

Lin Dongjia's expression was much more exaggerated than hers just now. She widened her eyes and covered her mouth: "Ah."

"Mingzhu, where did you find so many corals?"

"Sister Lin, do you think these corals are beautiful?" Ye Mingzhu pointed at the corals with a smile.

"Of course it's beautiful. Such a pure color is rare." Lin Dongjia touched the fiery red coral lovingly. "This coral is so red. If someone gets married and owns a set of coral jewelry like this, I wonder how many people will envy them."

Ye Mingzhu also discovered that the color of the coral was much better looking than when she first got the space.

"These corals are for my sister." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile when she saw that the love in Lin Dongjia's eyes was about to overflow.

"Give it to me?" Lin Dongjia looked up, his face full of surprise: "You gave me such a good coral."

The corals she sold to Wanyi were much less than this, and they were sold for one thousand taels. She couldn't even imagine how much these corals would sell for if they were made into jewelry.

Although she was not short of money, the first time she saw so many corals, even if they were not made into jewelry, the beauty was breathtaking.

If all these corals were made into jewelry, there would be people who would want them even if they were sold for ten thousand taels.

Ye Mingzhu had been observing Lin Dongjia's expression. There was fondness and admiration, but no greed. She knew she had not misjudged him.

"Sister Lin, when you gave me the jade bracelet, I didn't refuse it just because it was expensive." Ye Mingzhu said as she raised her hand and shook it twice.

Lin Dongjia took his eyes off the coral and shook his head. "I bought that set of jewelry from my own shop. It's not very expensive. But this coral, if made into jewelry, would cost at least ten thousand taels."

It’s not just because coral is expensive, but mainly because Ye Mingzhu took out a lot of coral, enough to make a lot of jewelry.

"Sister Lin, if you say so, these corals were all fished out of the sea, and I haven't spent any money on them. This bracelet wasn't made in a shop, and I spent money on the raw materials."

Lin Dongjia couldn't argue with Ye Mingzhu, and looked at her helplessly: "Okay, I'll accept this jewelry."

Having said that, she made up her mind that after the coral jewelry was made, she and Ye Mingzhu would each keep a set, and any remaining ones would be sold, and she would not keep a penny, but give them all to Ye Mingzhu.

In this way, she probably got a great deal.

Seeing that Mr. Lin accepted the jewelry, Ye Mingzhu's smile became much happier, and the words she said shocked her again.

"Sister Lin, don't be reluctant. I still have some corals. I'll bring them to you next time. You can make some small items and sell them in the shop."

Lin Dongjia felt a bit overwhelmed. Did Ye Mingzhu find a coral tree? How could there be so many corals? But she didn't want to tell her where she found the corals, so she couldn't ask again.

"Okay, bring it to me next time. I'll have my master make some jewelry for you and sell the good ones in the shops in the capital. I won't treat you unfairly."

"I brought two experienced craftsmen with me this time. As long as we have the blueprints, the jewelry we make will be even more exquisite."

"I looked at the account books and found that almost all the good jewelry in the shop has been sold. It's a good opportunity for these two masters to sell out a batch as soon as possible."

"I heard from Chunhong that you brought the person here. It seems that I have to give you a bigger share this time."

Ye Mingzhu smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Lin, please don't say that. I didn't expect them to buy so many jewelry."

"Speaking of which, I have something else I want to trouble you with."
