Chapter 291 Return Gift
Ye Mingzhu could see that Jiang Li gave her this gift sincerely. Jiang Yue was also smiling beside her and said that the color of this scarf was particularly suitable for her skin tone.
She hesitated for a moment, then stood up, bowed, and thanked the two of them.
Jiang Li nodded with great satisfaction: "Oh, I fell in love with Mingzhu the moment I saw her. I heard from your uncle that you are already married. Otherwise, I would have to find a husband for you in the capital so that you can stay in the capital."
Ye Mingzhu really didn't expect Jiang Li to have such a personality. In modern times, this would be considered a social bull. She was so enthusiastic when they met for the first time.
"Xiao Yue, where is the gift you prepared? Take it out quickly." Jiang Li took Ye Mingzhu's hand and said to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue obviously understood Jiang Li's temper. She took a cloth bag to the table and opened it: "This is the clothes I made for you and Yun An. Do you think they are suitable?"
There were two pieces of clothing in the bundle. The top one was a dress that meant "after the rain the sky cleared up". The embroidery on it was very delicate. Just by looking at it, you could tell that it was very dignified and elegant.
"Mingzhu, take a look and see if you like this color. If not, I'll make you another one."
Jiang Yue smiled gently, and it was obvious that she was a person with a good temper.
"The embroidery on it is really beautiful," Ye Mingzhu touched the embroidery on it, and hesitated for a moment: "It's just that I don't know how to call you. You are so young and beautiful, can I call you Sister Yue?"
Ye Mingzhu's tone rose, and she winked at Jiang Yue, looking a little playful.
Jiang Yue blushed and patted her hand gently: "I didn't expect you to be such a naughty person."
"That's a good temper," Jiang Lishi laughed heartily. "We're all family, so just say what you want to say. Mingzhu, Xiaoyue is older than you, so it's okay to call her sister. You can change that after we get married."
"Yes, you have to change your mind and give a red envelope." Ye Mingzhu said this for some reason.
Jiang Li's smile grew even brighter: "Mingzhu is right, but we can't change our words so easily."
As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet with a hint of emerald green and light purple from her hand and forced it on Ye Mingzhu.
"The color of this bracelet really suits Mingzhu, so I'll give it to her."
Before Ye Mingzhu could refuse, she glared at him and said, "We're family, you can't refuse."
Ye Mingzhu was helpless. She stood up and thanked him, then said, "I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. I only brought some local specialties. I'll give them to grandma. I hope she won't mind."
She called Chun Xing and asked her to bring over the brocade box she had prepared yesterday.
Jiang Li and Jiang Yue looked at each other and were both very satisfied with Ye Mingzhu's attitude.
Jiang Li was determined that even if Ye Mingzhu took out a fish, she would praise her well.
But when she saw the brocade box that Chun Xing brought, she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.
"Mingzhu, is this the specialty you brought?"
Jiang Yue's eyes widened as she looked at the specialty in the brocade box: the coral tree.
A red coral about one foot tall was carefully taken out of the brocade box by Chun Xing.
"Be careful, be careful." Jiang Li stood up and kept reminding Chun Xing, fearing that she would accidentally drop the coral tree to the ground.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Ye Mingzhu smiled calmly, "I brought this from home as a gift for Sister Yue."
The Jiang family has only one daughter, Jiang Yue. She said that if she gave the daughter to Jiang Yue, Jiang Li would definitely not object.
"For Xiaoyue?" Jiang Li turned around, "This gift is too valuable."
She remembered that Ye Mingzhu had once given Jiang Yue a few corals, which were made into jewelry and included in her dowry. This was enough to make her happy.
Most of these large corals are in the hands of nobles in the capital, so they can't afford them.
"Grandma just said that we are all family. Why do you say it is too expensive when I give Sister Yue something?" Ye Mingzhu really wanted to give Jiang Yue a gift.
Not to mention that the Jiang family sent two large boxes of gifts as soon as they arrived yesterday, the gifts given by Jiang Li and Jiang Yue today were all thoughtfully put into them.
Although corals are precious, she still has a lot of them in her space. Besides, she has no place to put them. It would be better to give them to the Jiang family to make them happy and treat her uncle better in the future.
Jiang Li came back to her senses from her shock. She could tell from Ye Mingzhu's expression that Ye Mingzhu really wanted to give the coral to them.
She heard from Jiang Yue that Ye Mingzhu and her brother came by boat. Even after such a long journey, they did not forget to bring them gifts. It seems that they really regard Jiang Yue as their future aunt. She is a good child, and the two families can get closer in the future.
"Good child, I will make the decision for your sister Yue. We will accept the coral, but such precious things cannot be taken out again." Jiang Li was deeply moved and thought that she should find some more things to give to Ye Mingzhu after returning.
Ye Mingzhu certainly knew that coral was precious. If it wasn't valuable, she wouldn't have given it away.
"What grandma said is true. This kind of coral is rare even in our place. I got this coral by chance." Ye Mingzhu smiled and gave a story about the coral tree in front of her.
If the box they brought with them wasn't small, she could have taken out a bigger coral.
"Mingzhu, women can't soak in the sea all the time. It's not good for their health." Jiang Li really loved Ye Mingzhu. When she heard her say that this coral was found in the deep sea, she felt a little worried about her health.
"Thank you for your concern, grandma. My mother-in-law knows some medical skills. She is taking care of me and I am much better now." Ye Mingzhu replied to let them know that her health had improved a lot.
"That's good, that's good." Jiang Li nodded frequently and talked about some tips for women's beauty care.
In her opinion, Ye Mingzhu was already married, and even though she was not very old, she could get pregnant at any time. It was okay that she didn't know. Now that the conversation had come to this point, it was a good opportunity to tell Ye Mingzhu what she knew.
Jiang Yue listened to Jiang Li's words, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Jiang Li talked for a while, took a sip of tea, and then Jiang Yue suddenly asked, "Mingzhu, how deep have you been to the seabed?"
Ye Mingzhu looked at Jiang Yue with some confusion: "I haven't measured this before."
The main reason is that the measurement units in ancient and modern times are different, and it was difficult for her to convert them at the moment.
"Xiao Yue," Jiang Li suddenly called her and shook her head. "Mingzhu is still young, so it's not good for her to go into the water all the time. She used to be forced to do so by life, but now that she has her uncle to take care of her, she won't have to."
Jiang Yue frowned, but kept her mouth shut obediently.
Ye Mingzhu wondered if the Jiang family needed someone to fish something out of the sea. She tentatively said, "Sister Yue, just say whatever you want to say. I used to fish for pearls and even things from shipwrecks. As long as it's not sunk to the deep end, it shouldn't be a problem."
But after she finished speaking, Jiang Yue's brows furrowed even deeper.
