On the first day, Yao Tingzhi knew that she couldn't let them have a conflict because of her: "The nanny around the prince really has a lot of experience. We don't know the rules, and we made the nanny laugh."
Yao Tingzhi lowered her attitude, and Aunt Xu didn't say anything more. Finally, she let the two sit down and eat together.
The old lady was a shrewd person. When she saw Yao Zhixue stealing glances at Baili Yanqing, she understood her thoughts: "Zhixue, your pearl headdress is really beautiful. It is more unique than the pearl headdresses worn by many ladies in the capital."
Pearl head ornaments are popular in Beijing. The rounder and more pink the pearl, the finer the texture.
Yao Zhixue's hair was dotted with pearls, each one was round and pink, of the highest quality, making her face look much brighter.
"The old lady has a good eye." Yao Tingzhi praised, "Zhixue has always liked to study these kinds of jewelry. No matter what she does, she can always make something more unique. This pink bead was made by her herself. They are all things that girls like, and they are not presentable."
"Zhixue is really clever and skillful." The old lady looked at Yao Zhixue and felt even happier.
Yao Zhixue just lowered her head and smiled softly, looking a little shy.
Yao Tingzhi then said, "When Zhixue came here, she prepared pink pearls as a gift. Don't be disgusted by them. They look very nice when embellished on your headdress or clothes."
"Zhixue is really polite. What else did you bring with you?" Although she said so, when Yao Zhixue handed the brocade bag containing pink pearls to the old lady, the old lady accepted it without any hesitation.
Yao Zhixue personally delivered the pink pearls to everyone, and every female member of the family had a share.
Su Chenyu opened the brocade bag and looked at the big, round pink pearls inside: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yao."
Yao Zhixue smiled shyly: "I see that my husband is dressed quite plainly, and these pink pearls are suitable as an embellishment. But this bag of pink pearls may not be enough. I still have a lot. I will give some to my husband when the time comes."
To put it this way, it sounds like Su Chenyu is begging for money.
Su Chenyu handed the brocade bag to Madam Xu and kept it. "I am not as well prepared as Miss Yao. I have not prepared anything as a gift. I have only seen this pearl bracelet on your hand."
As she spoke, Su Chenyu took off the pearl bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Madam Xu.
Su Chenyu usually wore loose clothes, with the cuffs covering her wrists tightly, so no one noticed the pearl bracelet on her hand before.
When Nanny Xu handed the pearl bracelet to Yao Zhixue, everyone saw the appearance of the pearl bracelet clearly.
"Is this a bracelet made of twelve top-quality oriental pearls?" Yao Mingzhu asked in surprise, with envy in her eyes.
Dongzhu is round and large in texture, crystal clear in color, and extremely rare, especially the top-grade Dongzhu, which is one in a million.
It is no exaggeration to say that this string of pearl bracelets is priceless. After all, it must have taken a lot of manpower and financial resources to find these twelve fine oriental pearls.
Even a mountain of pink pearls cannot compare to this string of pearl bracelets.
If you got such a treasure, you would have to worship it and would even want to ask people to come and see it. Who would wear it on their wrist so openly?
Now, Su Chenyu said she would give it away without even blinking an eye, which shows how generous she is. How could she care about the pink pearls Yao Zhixue gave her?
Yao Mingzhu felt even more sad: "Zhixue is really lucky. In this way, she used a small bag of pink pearls to exchange for this priceless Dongzhu bracelet! No wonder Aunt Ting was able to manage the Yao family's business so well in these years."
