The second tier is a set of white jade jewelry, which appears to be made of high-quality Hetian white jade. This set includes a jade bracelet, a jade pendant, a pair of jade earrings, a jade hairpin, and a jade necklace.
The jade is warm and delicate with a soft color. Wearing it makes one appear gentle, elegant, noble, and graceful.
The third tier is a set of jewelry made entirely of green jadeite, consisting of a necklace, bracelet, earrings, ring, jade pendant, jade hairpin, and hair ornament.
The entire peony-shaped jewelry set appears to be carved from a single piece of jade. Each bead in the necklace is shaped like a peony, yet each one is unique.
The bracelet is also different from ordinary bracelets. It is decorated with peony carvings. The bracelet is twice the width of a normal bracelet and is covered with peony carvings.
What Chen Shuning liked most was the hair ornament, a string of buds hanging under a blooming peony. Each bud was round and full, yet each one was different. When shaken, it made a crisp and melodious sound. Chen Shuning loved it so much that she couldn't put it down.
The other jewelry also features the same peony design, giving it a very rich and luxurious look.
Chen Shuning knew that these three sets of jewelry were not only a precious gift, but also her grandmother's trust and expectations for her. She carefully put the jewelry box away, her heart filled with gratitude for her grandmother and anticipation for the future.
These items may not be suitable to wear out right now, but they are priceless treasures, and they also carry the love and expectations of their elders.
After carefully putting away the gifts, the two prepared to wash up.
To Chen Shuning's surprise, there was a bathtub and running water in such an antique house. The two faucets on the bathtub were engraved with the words "cold" and "hot" respectively.
This made Chen Shuning a little curious. Did water heaters exist now? But after searching around, he couldn't find anything that looked like a water heater.
In the end, He Chaoyang helped to clear up the mystery. It turned out that each courtyard of the Lu family had a small boiler used to heat bath water and provide heating in winter. The hot water in the bathroom was heated from the boiler.
The bathtub was already filled with water, and steam was rising from it.
Chen Shuning hugged her pajamas and walked into the bathroom, feeling a little shy but also a little expectant.
She knew that tonight would be her and He Chaoyang's wedding night, the most important moment in their lives.
Chen Shuning slowly stepped into the bathtub, feeling the warm water enveloping her body.
She gently closed her eyes, recalling every moment of her acquaintance and friendship with He Chaoyang.
From their first meeting to getting to know each other and then to becoming dependent on each other, every moment flashed through her mind.
Chen Shuning was lost in memories when she suddenly felt a warm hand on her shoulder.
She looked up and saw He Chaoyang's handsome face.
He Chaoyang looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with love and tenderness.
His gaze filled Chen Shuning with immense happiness and peace of mind, as if all her worries had vanished in that moment.
"Shu Ning, you are so beautiful," He Chaoyang said softly.
Chen Shuning's face instantly turned bright red; she hadn't expected He Chaoyang to suddenly enter the bathroom at this moment.
Although they were already husband and wife, this situation still made her feel somewhat shy and embarrassed.
She tried to cover her face with her hands, but He Chaoyang gently took her hands and removed her delicate white hands from Chen Shuning's face.
He Chaoyang slowly approached Chen Shuning, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.
He gently stroked Chen Shuning's face, as if admiring a precious work of art.
Chen Shuning was filled with emotion and happiness. She felt her body gradually relax as she enjoyed He Chaoyang's caresses and kisses.
Finally tasting those long-desired red lips, He Chaoyang couldn't bear to leave for a moment. He tightly hugged Chen's weak waist with one hand and hurriedly pulled at his clothes with the other. In no time, all the restraints on his body were removed, and he stepped into the bathtub with his long legs.
Chen Shuning kept her eyes tightly closed, not daring to look at He Chaoyang's strong body. The moment their lips gently touched, their hearts were filled with happiness and warmth.
In the time that followed, Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang enjoyed this unforgettable night together.
They embraced and kissed each other, sharing each other's bodies and souls.
Their love was like a blazing flame, igniting each other's lives.
This night was the most beautiful moment of Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang's lives.
Their love blossomed like a beautiful flower in each other's hearts. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they might face in the future, they would support and love each other.
(I made a mistake regarding the age part. I initially thought that the female lead would not be too old when the college entrance examination was reinstated, but I overlooked the fact that the female lead might be a bit too young when she got married. So please ignore the age issue of Shu Ning, thank you.)
It has to be said that soldiers have great physical strength, especially He Chaoyang, a man who had been holding back for more than 20 years and who had been listening to the old soldiers tell dirty jokes in the army.
Even though he tried his best to restrain himself because he felt sorry for Chen Shu Ning's young age, he still exhausted Chen Shu Ning so much that she overslept the next day.
After staring at the hands of the grandfather clock in the room for a long time, Chen Shuning finally believed that it was already past 11 a.m. It was her first time visiting her husband's maternal grandmother's house, and especially since she had promised yesterday that she would make breakfast for the old lady this morning, Chen Shuning covered her face in anguish and wailed.
