Chapter 338 Return Upgrade Flow Ex-Fiancee 65
That day, after Chen Jia finished her meal in the garden, she returned to her room and found that her husband, who had been busy recently, had returned. He was leaning comfortably on the small couch by the window, with his head propped up, quietly reading a book.
"Husband, why are you back so early today?" Chen Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and slowly walked over.
Xi Changkong responded in a low voice, put down the book, and knocked on a wooden box on the small table. Chen Jia looked over there. The wooden box was beautifully carved, and one could not help but linger on it.
She really loves these dainty items!
"Why don't you open it and take a look?" someone reminded.
Chen Jia blinked, had a vague guess, walked over and sat opposite him, with a table in the middle.
Facing someone's gaze, she raised her hand and opened the wooden box.
The next second, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her eyes that were blinded by the light. After her eyes adjusted, she slowly put down her sleeves and looked at the things in the box.
Chen Jia hesitated a little, picked up a pearl from the box and examined it carefully, "Is this - Dongzhu?"
Please forgive her for not being very knowledgeable, but she has never seen one so big, it is almost as big as an egg.
Pearls naturally emit a soft halo, but when so many large pearls are crowded together, they can actually be said to be dazzling.
Xi Changkong mentioned: "These are deep-sea pearls picked from the oceans by foreign countries. They are incomparable to the pearls picked by pearl divers near the coast." Although it seemed casual, he had actually mentioned it in his heart.
Chen Jia did not miss the hint of expectation in his eyes, and picked up another one to look at it.
This one is a highly saturated gold color. It’s not as big as the previous one, but the color is definitely very special.
"These Dongzhu are extremely rare. My husband must have spent a lot of time on them. But..." She pursed her lips and smiled. Xi Changkong subconsciously straightened up and leaned over a little. "But what?"
Chen Jia said slowly: "It's just that I can't bear to turn them into jewelry and destroy their original purity."
"Why would you be reluctant to give them up? It's their luck that they can be worn by Madam!" Xi Changkong didn't care. After taking a closer look at the size of the pearls, he sincerely offered his suggestion, "However, these are indeed a bit big - why not make them into ornaments, or grind them into fashionable beauty powder, so as not to bury them..."
Some beads are really too big, and it would be cumbersome to wear them on your head as jewelry. It would be better to make them into ornaments or accessories, or grind them into makeup powder.
Xi Changkong's idea was very simple: he didn't care how priceless the box of oriental pearls he had found with great difficulty was, he only cared whether these things could be used by his wife.
Only useful things are worthy of being placed in front of your wife!
Chen Jia ordered Ping Sheng to put the box of Dongzhu into the warehouse. Xi Changkong was thinking about how to make it into jewelry or accessories. He planned to draw a few shapes that were not available on the market and have someone make them into jewelry.
What a lady uses is naturally different from what ordinary women use.
Unfortunately, today's craftsmen lack ingenuity and only know how to stick to old rules without being flexible.
Chen Jia naturally had no idea what the person beside her was complaining about, otherwise she would have made a good laugh at him.

"Madam, this white jade hairpin with eight-treasure pearls is worth five hundred taels of silver. Do you want to pawn it?" After checking it again and again, the pawnshop owner carefully gave a relatively reasonable price.
After visiting several pawnshops, the woman had an idea in her mind. This price was already considered high. She nodded and said, "I want to pawn it!"
"Here is a total of five hundred taels. Please sign the receipt." The shopkeeper put away the white jade hairpin. After the woman signed her name on the receipt, he took out the ten silver ingots that he had prepared long ago and pushed them over. "Please keep them."
The woman weighed the ingot, checked it again and again, accepted it, and walked out of the pawnshop.
She didn't dare look back, for fear that she would change her mind.
The spring is bright and the warm sunlight shines on our bodies, making us feel warm.
The woman took a deep breath and walked briskly towards Yingshui Lane. She had made an appointment with a broker to look at a courtyard, and now the agreed time was almost up.
When Bai Li returned from his shift, the deal had already been finalized, in black and white. Both parties had registered the matter with the government. The woman paid the money and received the deed.
She returned to the temporary rented yard holding the house deed tightly, and couldn't help but take another look at it.
This is something real, something that belongs to her, and it is her place to settle down after all the hardships she has experienced!
"Brother Bai, look--" The woman bit her lip, holding the house deed nervously, and moved in front of him.
Bai Li had just returned, and was still sweating. Seeing the woman approaching, he couldn't help but lean back, trying to stop her from getting closer, "Stop, just stand here, let me see what it is--"
Bai Li took the paper, glanced at it and fell silent, his voice a little dry: "You bought it?"
He knew about the yard that the woman had bought; they had gone to see it together before.
She liked it very much at that time, but neither the rent nor the house price was affordable for them at that time.
He glanced at her bun. After coming here, she put on the hairpin again, but it was gone now.
"Why not wait?"
Don't wait for me -
The woman subconsciously touched the place where the hairpin was usually inserted. This was a token of love given to her by her husband. She had to wear it every day, but -
The woman smiled, revealing a sense of relief. "If my husband knew that my child and I could have a place to live with the help of this hairpin, he would certainly agree to it with pleasure."
The man who respected and cherished her has become a thing of the past.
Instead of wasting your time by being reminded of someone when you see something, it is better to just let go and give yourself some freedom.
Bai Li stared at the woman in front of him. She seemed to have broken free from the constraints of the past, and her whole body exuded a brand new glow.
Oops, his breath seemed to be taken away...
"Ahem, I overstepped my authority." Bai Li lowered his head, his eyes gentle, "It's up to you, Wanniang, to decide whether to stay or not. Just be happy."
The lost hairpin will be found again in the future.
He promised in his heart.
Compared with the large mansions that were so big that one could get lost in them, this small courtyard with two entrances was obviously not as good as others, but it was the courtyard that most pleased him.
The interior decoration of the house is well maintained and can be lived in after a little tidying up. However, the flowers and plants that were once carefully tended have lost the owner's care in recent years and have grown somewhat wildly.
In her opinion, it is quite wild and interesting.
"This can be used as a study, this can be used as a kitchen..." The woman planned every space in the yard in detail. It seemed that she had thought about it countless times in her mind.
She walked around the courtyard in the middle and pointed at the towering loquat tree. "Under the tree, you can put a wooden table and a few small stools. It's a good choice whether you want to make tea around the stove or read a book or play chess!"
Bai Li looked at the child and spread his hands, "I am not very knowledgeable, I am not good at drinking tea or playing chess..."
She clapped her hands and said, "It just so happens that I am good at it, and I have enough time to teach you."
She rolled her eyes, smiling slyly and a little shyly.
"Then..." He took the child forward and held out his hand, "Please, Wanniang, give me some advice."
The woman looked down at the palm that was so close to her. It was rough and had calluses from years of sword practice. It wasn't very pretty, but she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Bai Li was so nervous watching this that she chuckled and gently put her hand over.
