Yu Shu sat in the courtyard and watched the fireworks that were not inferior to those of later generations.
Most places in the He family are decorated in a popular Western style, but the courtyard retains a simple design, with many exquisite lanterns hung around it.
Yu Shu was sitting among them, wearing a well-fitting coat and skirt. Under the candlelight, she looked as beautiful as an exquisite painting.
Accompanying her was He Nanjin, who had changed out of his military uniform and only wore a white shirt.
The man looked sideways at Yu Shu with a smile, his sleeves rolled up slightly, revealing his strong forearms, and the emotions in his eyes were released wantonly in the night.
"To celebrate Shu'er's withdrawal from that bad marriage, this is a gift for Shu'er." He Nanjin raised his hand towards Adjutant Fang. Adjutant Fang quickly stopped looking at the fireworks and walked over with a mahogany box in his arms.
The mahogany box was opened, and inside was a beautiful cheongsam. The embroidery and style of the cheongsam were all exquisite, and it looked like it was not bought casually from a cloth shop.
Yu Shu looked at the cheongsam and said with clear eyes.
"I didn't prepare a gift for you."
He Nanjin, who wanted to say that there was no need to repay the gift, thought about the engagement gift that Mr. Jiang sent over today, his expression paused, and he said instead.
"I think the jade pendant on the table in Shu'er's room is pretty good. Can you give it to me?"
Yu Shu looked sideways at him, and just when He Nanjin thought it was impossible, and her eyes darkened slightly and said it was a joke, she heard Yu Shu speak.
"That jade pendant is an old thing. If Brother Nan Jin doesn't dislike it, it's okay to give it to you."
"Of course I don't mind." He Nanjin smiled.
Just based on the meaning of that jade pendant, it is worth thousands of gold to him, so there is nothing to dislike about it.
Seeing that He Nanjin really wanted it, Yu Shu fulfilled her promise and asked Cuihong to get the jade pendant.
Cuihong looked at Yu Shu hesitantly, then faced the urging gaze of the adjutant above. Cuihong gritted her teeth and went to get the jade pendant.
The jade pendant arrived in He Nanjin's hand. The man lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant, whose color had become a little dark after the passage of time. He held it in his hand with cherished eyes, as if this jade pendant, which was not too precious, was worth a thousand gold.
When the night got dark, He Nanjin left happily with the jade pendant. Cuihong asked carefully while taking off Yu Shu's hair ornaments.
"When the lady gave the jade pendant to Commander He, was she interested in him?"
Cuihong didn't want Yu Shu to be too sad because of Jiang Hua, but she didn't understand that her young lady seemed to have lost interest in the wedding, so she gave the engagement returned by the Jiang family to He Nanjin so casually.
Although He Nanjin accepted it, it seemed very worthless.
"Since the jade pendant has no meaning, it is just an ordinary dead object. What does it matter if Commander He likes to hold it?" Yu Shu said calmly.
Cuihong listened and thought about the past, and thought for a while, thinking that the young lady saw the jade pendant, and thought of Jiang Hua, the heartless person, and couldn't help but feel sad, so she dealt with it. A distressed look appeared on her face, and she stopped talking about the jade pendant and instead said I heard some interesting things about Haicheng from other servants.
Seeing Cui Hong's expression through the mirror, Yu Shu glanced at the mission panel. Well, it was another day of unexpected mission completion.
After the marriage was settled, Yu Shu had some free time and found a lot of medical books from the box she brought.
The original owner had been weak since she was a child and often dealt with medicine. Her father saw that she liked reading medical books and knew that she had no business knowledge, so he doted on her and hired an old doctor to teach her medical skills.
However, the old doctor was also a man and did not want to teach outsiders how to eat. What he taught the original owner was only some simple medical knowledge. Later, when his father died, the old doctor left immediately.
Therefore, the original owner did not have much medical knowledge. When he was on the ship, he even wanted to write a prescription for himself, but his knowledge was not enough.
