Back at Yingyuan, Xia Taoyuan looked at the eight golden bars and her imagination ran wild. Eighty taels is four kilograms, and at more than four hundred yuan per gram, eighty taels is nearly two hundred thousand yuan. She used to make only 3500 yuan a month at work, plus occasional overtime, which was already a good salary in their small county. These eighty taels of gold plus a little money could buy a house of fifty or sixty square meters in their county.

She thought, it would be great if she could take the gold back. But she was shocked by her own thoughts. If she could really go back, would she be willing to leave everything here? Would she be willing to leave Chu Xingluo behind?

No, she could give up everything here but not Chu Xingluo, she liked him too much, and Chu Xingluo was deeply engraved in her heart. She admitted that she was pushed by fate at the beginning, and she could sacrifice anything to save her ancestors, even if she was asked to marry an old man, she could endure it.

But after actually seeing Chu Xingluo, her heart became restless. She was happy and relieved. She knew that she was attracted by him. With repeated contacts, she also knew that Chu Xingluo had already deeply penetrated her heart.

Xia Taoyuan wrapped the gold and took out the night pearl to look at it. She heard Emperor Ying say it was a Jade Dragon Night Pearl, but she didn't see any dragon no matter how hard she looked. She guessed that the emperor didn't see any dragon either so he gave it to her as a reward.

At this time, Dai'er brought her tea, and she casually put the night pearl on the bedside table.

After drinking a sip of tea, Xia Taoyuan went to Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei was very happy and talked to her about sweet things for the whole afternoon.

Although Mrs. Wei felt sorry for her daughter, she also loved Xia Taoyuan from the bottom of her heart. After all, she and her daughter looked like a pair. At first, Mrs. Wei was a little sad to see Xia Taoyuan, because she thought of her daughter when she saw her. Now she has come to terms with it and knows that some things are irreversible and can only be left to fate.

Xia Taoyuan also knew that Mrs. Wei missed her daughter very much, so he racked his brains to tell some jokes to make Mrs. Wei happy.

The afternoon passed quickly. Xia Taoyuan accompanied Mrs. Wei for dinner and then returned to Yingyuan. Before leaving, Mrs. Wei told her that the engagement banquet would be the day after tomorrow, and asked her to stay in the house tomorrow and not go anywhere, and to get enough rest to refresh herself.

It was already dark, and when Xia Taoyuan returned to Yingyuan, she went upstairs and found a faint light in the room, different from the light of the candles she lit every night. Xia Taoyuan was still wondering, and when she got closer, she found that it was the light from the night pearl she placed on the bedside table. She was surprised and happy.

The light of the night pearl is not very bright, a bit like the soft light of a night light. The little girls were amazed when they saw it.

Xia Taoyuan picked up the night pearl and looked at it carefully. She was surprised to see two dragons inside the night pearl, swimming up and down, vivid and lifelike, just like the real ones.

It turns out that the jade dragon of the Jade Dragon Night Pearl will only appear when the Night Pearl emits light at night. Although in her time, small handicraft workshops could make small things like this with more powerful functions, she still couldn't help but sigh at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen. In this era, it is not easy to make it purely by hand.

After appreciating the show, the girls went to rest one by one. Xia Taoyuan was not sleepy yet. She took a storybook to read, but she could not read a single word. She was looking forward to it. She had not seen Chu Xingluo for a day. She guessed that he might come in the evening, so she was waiting for him.

She missed her own time again. It was so convenient. With social media, she could express her longing for her lover and even have video chats with him. But now she had to endure the longing.

Just when she felt that she had nowhere to express her longing, the window creaked open. Someone came in, and it was Chu Xingluo. Xia Taoyuan was filled with joy. She ran over and threw herself into Chu Xingluo's arms, murmuring, "I miss you so much!"

Chu Xingluo looked a little tired, but after hearing what Xia Taoyuan said, his eyes were filled with tenderness. He hugged Xia Taoyuan tightly and whispered, "Today, there are too many things to do. I'm late." He paused, then whispered softly in Xia Taoyuan's ear, "I miss you, too!"

Xia Taoyuan felt sweeter than eating honey, she really hoped that this moment would last forever. After hugging for a while, Xia Taoyuan told Chu Xingluo that she had entered the palace today, and the emperor had rewarded her with night-shining pearls and gold, and then she took Chu Xingluo to see the night-shining pearls.

Chu Xingluo told her that Qingyun and Longyan had decorated the palace. They said that although the engagement banquet was held in the palace, they still had to go to the palace after the event. Xia Taoyuan laughed when she heard this, and was very curious about how the two would decorate it.

She also noticed that Chu Xingluo was a little tired. She touched Chu Xingluo's face and said distressedly: "You've been busy all day and you have to come to see me. Are you tired?"

Chu Xingluo smiled lightly and said, "Seeing you, all the hardship has disappeared."

Xia Taoyuan looked at the smiling Chu Xingluo and said, "Promise me that you won't always have a stern face in the future. Smile more."

"I promise you." Chu Xingluo's smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable all over.

"Don't come tomorrow. Have a good rest. I will go to bed early tomorrow too. Let's stay in the best mental state the day after tomorrow." Xia Taoyuan looked up and said.

"If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep because I miss you so much." Chu Xingluo hugged Xia Taoyuan tightly and said softly.

"Just one day, be obedient." Xia Taoyuan actually wanted him to come, but she was afraid that she would be so tired that she would have dark circles under her eyes. The thought of it made her look so ugly.

Chu Xingluo nodded obediently, and the two of them stayed together for a while before Xia Taoyuan urged Chu Xingluo to go back.
