Chapter 217 The Dowry Is Emerald Wrapped in Water (2)
Enough joking, the old man Nanqiu finally started to talk about the business, which is the reason why he called the whole family to Xiannan Bieyuan today.

"Xinyu, go and take the box that Xiaoxu sent last time to the water pavilion." Nanqiu ordered his disciples while standing up from his seat, while Guan Xu walked to him and used it as a crutch. "You also follow me to the water pavilion."

The water pavilion in Xiannan Bieyuan is the old man Nanqiu’s favorite place. There is no woodwork here, only clear springs and flowing water, no masters, only an old man enjoying life, and the water pavilion faces water on all sides, and there is only a small curved corridor It is connected to the garden on the side, and it is quiet and soundproof. It is a good place to talk about things.

Not long after they sat down and the tea was brewed, Yu Xinyu walked in holding a wooden box.

Nanqiu took the wooden box carefully, and his hands didn't shake at all, "Okay, Xinyu, go get busy first."

Nan Qiu waved his hand to signal Yu Xinyu to leave first, needless to say, he knew that what he was talking about should be a private matter related to the official family.

"Dad, what is this?"

The official father seemed to have never seen this wooden box since he was a child, and he didn't know what the old man wanted to bring out this wooden box today.

"Is this the box my mother-in-law gave me?"

Guan Xu looked at the box with a familiar look. It should be something that Mrs. Su gave him that day. She said that the red agate was too expensive. This was regarded as a gift in return. He saw it as a stone at the time, and reckoned that the old man should like it. Let’s talk about the red bean agate set. The jewelry was also given by the old man, so Guan Xu sent the stone over.

"That's right, it's the one given by my mother-in-law."

The corners of Guan Ma's mouth twitched when she heard the old man seriously mentioning his mother-in-law. Guan Xu is a good kid, he only has one word in his eight characters, and even the old man knew about it, and he called his mother-in-law directly, because he was afraid of them I disagree, so I asked the old man to support me.

"Presumably my mother-in-law gave this piece of jade to our official family because of the set of red agate jewelry..."

The official father was startled when he heard the red agate, and directly interrupted the old man, "Dad, are you talking about the red agate that you mortgaged the house to buy?"

"That's the one, I used it to make a set of jewelry for my granddaughter-in-law..."

The old man stroked his beard triumphantly as he spoke, he was still very satisfied with that set of red bean jewelry, it made him feel that he was still young after not making jewelry for so many years.

"Dad, that stone is so precious, why didn't you discuss it with us in advance..."

"I told you, Xiao Xu and I discussed it."

"But how can you just give away such a valuable thing, and besides, you just give it away, isn't it obviously putting pressure on the little girl? Isn't this why Hongdou can only marry our official family?"

The official father is still a little worried, not to mention that the red beans are too young to know the value of the red agate and the meaning of this set of jewelry. It would be a pity if they were accidentally lost!

Guan Ma's eyes were more envious than worried. Anyway, like Guan Xu, she also believed that Hong Dou was the official's daughter-in-law, so it didn't matter if she gave this set of jewelry early or late.

When he married Guan Xu's father, the old man also made a set of jewelry for Guan's mother as a dowry gift. It was a set of high-quality pear blossom wood, hair pins, combs, and earrings. After so many years, the luster is still delicate, and it was exquisite in those days. The craftsmanship can be seen, and the official mother is not very willing to wear it until now.

The old man's love for Guan Xu can be seen just from the selection of jewelry for her daughter-in-law's betrothal gift. This is probably Ai Wu Ji Wu.
