Chapter 392 An Exquisite Gift

Upon hearing that he could come and pick it up that evening, Yuan Xinghe immediately clasped his hands in thanks to Sheng Jiu before taking his leave.

He didn't want to leave, but he had just finished the last battle and needed to adjust; there were too many things to deal with.

Although many things do not require his, as the ruler, to manage.

However, for some matters that require decision-making, it is not appropriate for others to make a decision rashly without his approval.

So, no matter how reluctant I am, I have to leave.

Moreover, I can come back in the evening.

Thinking of these things, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Xinghe's lips.

After seeing Yuan Xinghe off, Sheng Jiu had Lin Duo lift up all four boxes of jewelry.

Although Yuan Xinghe had not taken great care in grooming himself.

However, the jewelry he sent had been simply cleaned.

At least there was no blood or dust on the surface of the box.

After opening each box, Sheng Jiu discovered that the jewelry inside was neatly arranged in small boxes, categorized by type.

Unlike the jewelry obtained from those rebel leaders who ate and dashed, this one had some pieces that were even knotted and needed to be carefully separated.

Sheng Jiu was quite surprised that Yuan Xinghe could be so thoughtful despite his busy schedule.

However, since the other party had already taken care of everything, it saved Sheng Jiu a lot of trouble.

She gestured for Lin to come over and look at the jewelry with her.

Sometimes it can be quite lonely to have good things to share with no one.

Although Tan Shenzhi had exposed Lin Duo's feelings for her, Sheng Jiu felt a little awkward whenever she saw Lin Duo again.

However, Lin Duo's attitude remained the same. Apart from occasionally looking away, he was as useful as ever when it came to work. Sheng Jiu thought that she didn't need to worry about him too much.

Moreover, after Lin Duo was exposed, he did not take the opportunity to confess his feelings, nor did he say anything more.

Sheng Jiu thought that she would temporarily forget about it and not take it to heart.

after all……

Lin Duo is such a useful employee!
She is hardworking and dedicated, and can even mentor me in my studies. Most importantly, she only needs food and lodging, doesn't need a salary, and has almost no material desires.

He'll accept whatever you offer, like buying him clothes.

He never asks for it unless it's given to him.

Unlike Bohr, who has some spiritual pursuits, like watching short dramas and reading novels, he needs to become a member.

Lin Duo looked at his phone, scrolling through short videos, and occasionally, unable to resist Bo Er's enthusiasm, he would read the novels that Bo Er recommended.

After learning the exercises and drawing qi into the body, I hardly ever touch my phone anymore; I spend almost all my time reading.

Sheng Jiu thought, "Such a useful employee, I can't just get rid of him because of my own awkwardness, can I?"
When Lin Duo got up early, he felt a little awkward, or rather, a little uneasy.

He was afraid that Sheng Jiu would feel awkward around him and simply abandon him.

After a tense morning, Lin Duo finally felt a little relieved to find that Sheng Jiu treated him as usual.

At this moment, seeing Sheng Jiu call him to look at jewelry without any hesitation, Lin Duo's heart tightened, but he obediently walked over and sat down next to Sheng Jiu, while maintaining a polite distance.

Lin Duo thought that his liking was his liking, and he didn't need the boss to respond or know about it.

As long as he's happy.

He didn't want to put any pressure or burden on the small business owner.

Just because the boss knows about his crush doesn't mean he should shamelessly test the limits.

Sheng Jiu was too busy looking at the jewelry to notice Lin Duo's little schemes.

With someone beside her, Sheng Jiu excitedly opened the first box of jewelry.

It's a very beautiful box of earrings; they're made of jade, gemstones, gold inlaid with jade, and silver inlaid with jade...

Some are intricately crafted, while others are simple yet exquisite.

……

A box contains ten pairs of earrings, each with its own unique characteristics, and every pair is pleasing to the eye.

Sheng Jiu likes them all very much.

but……

She doesn't have pierced ears.

I bought clip-on earrings when I liked them before.

But when it came to actually getting her ears pierced, Sheng Jiu was genuinely a little nervous.

Especially after He Ling got an infection when she got her fourth ear piercing and almost had to be hospitalized, Sheng Jiu was even more afraid to get piercings!

However, not having pierced ears doesn't affect her liking for it.

"They're beautiful, I love looking at them, I like them, and they're great for collecting." Sheng Jiu took out each one and carefully arranged them for Lin Duo to see.

Lin Duo:

To be honest, in his opinion, they're all pretty much the same.

However, seeing the young boss's joyful expression and the smile in his eyes, Lin Duo's mood also improved. He nodded and softly replied, "Yes, it looks good."

I don't have pierced ears, so my fondness for earrings is just so-so.

Sheng Jiu quickly put down the box and switched to another one.

This box is full of jade bracelets.

Six jade bracelets of different colors and qualities are neatly placed in their corresponding compartments.

This type of positioning allows the bracelet to be firmly fixed in place, preventing it from being bumped or broken due to the movement of the box.

Sheng Jiu took out each bracelet and examined it for a while before putting it away and looking at the next one.

Each box contains different pieces of jewelry.

Large pieces of jewelry, such as hair ornaments, are all in their own boxes.

Some sets of headdresses were packaged in two or three boxes with the same pattern.

Sheng Jiu also found two pendants in one of the boxes.

Both are made of black jade; one is a peace pendant, and the other is a peace buckle.

Its color is as black as ink, mysterious and dreamlike.

Sheng Jiu was somewhat surprised.

She heard He Ling say that high-quality black jade is very valuable.

Because this material takes longer to form than ordinary jade, it is considered more precious.

Furthermore, there is a saying that if black jade is found in a mine, it means that the mine has been completely excavated.

Black jade is the final sediment.

Sheng Jiu didn't understand any of this; she only felt that the two pendants exuded an inexplicable sense of mystery.

It was so rare that Sheng Jiu was hesitant to wear it.

However, considering the various counterfeit products online, she felt that there was no need to be too afraid.

Because not many people know its value.

Many people still assume you bought it online.

Without close inspection, you can't see much difference in texture or other aspects.

Although there are obvious differences between good jade and bad jade, whether in color or other aspects.

However, there are high-end and low-end counterfeits.

There's always an explanation.

However, Sheng Jiu's job is not suitable for wearing such jewelry.

So, let's just cuddle up tonight.

Sheng Jiu spent an afternoon with Lin Duo.

He touched all the jewelry Yuan Xinghe had given him before reluctantly letting the system put it away.

Of course, Sheng Jiu had actually placed a carved incense burner in the room.

It was a pure gold incense burner.

Sheng Jiu was even reluctant to use it to burn incense.

She would feel bad if she had to apply even a little bit of color.

So, I'll just leave it there to look at.

After looking at the jewelry, Sheng Jiu took her phone and began buying food and fodder for Yuan Xinghe.

All the other party wanted was some coarse grains.

Therefore, the interstellar route is the most suitable.

If all else fails, there's always the world of cultivation.

In the cultivation world, items imbued with spiritual energy are more expensive, but ordinary grains are reasonably priced.

Sheng Jiu bought a batch of goods online, and then took Lin Duo to Hanshan City before dark to buy another batch in the cultivation world.

I went to the same grain shop where I had bought spirit seeds before.

Those in the city who were well-informed already knew that Sheng Jiu had some connection with the Xiangyang Sect.

Therefore, it was relatively easy to negotiate a lower price this time.
