Chapter 176 Jiang Peihuan Gives Jade Pendant

   "Fifty thousand, do you want to steal money?"

  Hearing the offer from the shopkeeper, before Jiang Peihuan could speak, Jiang Sijin who was on the side glared at the shopkeeper angrily.

   "Miss San, you don't know, this jade material is really rare."

   "Wrap it up for me."

   Although 50,000 yuan for this jade material is not cheap, the price quoted by the shopkeeper is not too high, so Jiang Peihuan looked directly at the shopkeeper and asked.

  Seeing that Jiang Peihuan was so straightforward, the shopkeeper's eyes were full of smiles, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll have someone wrap it up for you."

   "Eldest sister, this broken stone costs 50,000 yuan, you really bought it, and it can't be worn, why did you buy it?"

   "I have my own uses."

  Hearing this, Jiang Sijin didn't say anything more.

  The two walked around again before returning to the General's Mansion.

  After returning to the plum garden, Jiang Peihuan looked at Yue'er and said, "Go and help me find a set of carving tools."

   "Miss, do you want to carve this piece of jade?"

"Um."

   "Then I'll look for it right now."

   Seeing Jiang Peihuan nodding, Yue'er turned and left quickly.

  A moment later, Yue'er walked into Jiang Peihuan's room with a set of tools. This piece of jade was about one finger long, and Jiang Peihuan cut out the size of the jade pendant directly with a carving knife. After getting a square jade pendant module, half of the jade was wasted.

   Taking the module, Jiang Peihuan observed it carefully.

  Thinking about the jade pendant that Xiao Nanye wears every day, Jiang Peihuan finally decided to engrave some bamboo patterns on the jade pendant.

  Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

  Three hours later, Jiang Peihuan felt a headache looking at the not-so-exquisite bamboo on the jade pendant.

  Her painting skills are good, but painting and sculpture are really two different things.

   Looking at the almost ugly jade pendant in front of her, Jiang Peihuan was a little helpless.

   "Miss, why don't you take a break first, it has been engraved for a long time."

  Yue'er at the side saw this and said softly.

  Hearing her words, Jiang Peihuan put down the tool in her hand, then picked up the jade pendant, looked at Yue'er beside her, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Tell the truth, isn't this jade pendant ugly?"

   Glancing at the jade pendant in Jiang Peihuan's hand, Yue'er chuckled softly, "Miss, is this jade pendant going to be given to His Royal Highness Cheng Wang?"

"Um."

  Jiang Peihuan didn't deny it, but nodded when she heard Yue'er's words.

  Seeing her nodding, the smile in Yue'er's eyes deepened even more, "As long as it is prepared by you, Miss, no matter what it is, the prince will like it."

   For two days in a row, Jiang Peihuan was concentrating on carving the jade pendant in his hands. After he became more proficient in the later stage, Jiang Peihuan retouched the jade pendant.

  Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Jiang Peihuan finally showed some satisfaction, not as ugly as before.

  Jiang Peihuan polished carefully.

   It took another half a day to polish the jade pendant smoothly.

  When she raised her head, Jiang Peihuan found that it was already dark outside.

  Looking out the window, Jiang Peihuan was suddenly not used to it.

  During this time, Xiao Nanye would come to the Plum Garden almost every night, but counting today, he has not been here for three days.

  Just as she was thinking, Jiang Peihuan heard Yue'er's voice saluting, "See you, my lord."

   "Where's Huaner?"

  Looking at Yue'er saluting himself, Xiao Nanye made a faint sound.

  Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Yue'er stepped back two steps to the side, and then said softly, "Missy is in the house."

  Xiao Nanye nodded and pushed open the door.

  Hearing the sound, Jiang Peihuan turned her head subconsciously.

   "Why are you here?"

  Seeing Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan spoke subconsciously, but the man smiled slightly when he heard this, "Huan'er blamed me for not coming to see you these two days."

  Although Jiang Peihuan's expression remained the same, Xiao Nanye could still hear a trace of surprise in her tone.

  Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan glared at the man.

  But he reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and after putting the tea in front of the man, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "But what happened after the negotiation between the court and China?"

  Picking up the teacup on the table, Xiao Nanye took two sips of tea before looking at Jiang Peihuan and saying, "Huan'er, I'm going to lead the army tomorrow."

   "Leave tomorrow?"

  Jiang Peihuan was not surprised that Xiao Nanye led the troops out, but she did not expect to be so anxious.

  The man nodded, and then continued, "The King of Chujiang's rebellion, if it is delayed for a long time, it will make the surrounding vassals ready to move, so this matter must be resolved quickly."

"Huan'er, I'm here tonight. First, I want to say goodbye to you. Second, I want to tell you that the time for this expedition may not be short. If I can't make it back in time within two months, our wedding may have to be delayed." .”

   "Well, I see."

  Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Jiang Peihuan nodded.

   Seeing that there was no complaint in her eyes, Xiao Nanye showed a bit of apology in his eyes, "If I really can't make it back then, I will apologize to the general and madam."

   "This is not your fault, why do you need to apologize."

  Meeting the man's eyes, Jiang Peihuan smiled slightly, "Xiao Nanye, have you forgotten that my father and mother are both soldiers, and they understand you better than anyone else."

  Hearing this, Xiao Nanye also showed a smile in his eyes.

   But thinking of one thing, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly.

  Looking at Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye said in a low voice, "After I go out, you must be careful of Xiao Junhao."

   "Two days ago, he was ambiguous about King Chujiang's rebellion, confusing the public. But today, he firmly advocates war. I suspect he has some conspiracy."

  Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan's eyes showed a bit of contemplation. Seeing that Xiao Nanye's eyes were full of worry, she said softly, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

   "I don't go out in the general's mansion, and he can't really do anything to me. After all, the people in my general's mansion are not vegetarian."

   "By the way, I have something I want to give you."

  Hearing Jiang Peihuan said that she had something for herself, Xiao Nanye's attention was instantly attracted.

  Afterwards, Jiang Peihuan took out the jade pendant that she carved.

  Originally, she planned to give the jade pendant to Xiao Nanye at a decisive time, but thinking that he was going to go to war tomorrow, Jiang Peihuan took out the jade pendant ahead of time.

   Taking the jade pendant from Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye's eyes were full of surprises, "Is this for me?"

  Jiang Peihuan was still a little bit worried at first, after all, Xiao Nanye didn't use ordinary products, but seeing the surprise in his eyes at this moment, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  But when she looked at Xiao Nanye, she still said softly, "I'm not good at carving, you..."

   "Is this carved by you yourself?"

   Before Jiang Peihuan finished speaking, Xiao Nanye interrupted her softly, seeing her nodding, the smile in the man's eyes deepened a little.
