Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 252, Gift

Wang Li looked at the gift box she handed over, with an astonishing expression on his face, and said: Just take it, it's not a particularly precious thing. I got it ten years ago, and it was worthless at the time.

You also know that I have a hobby, which is collecting all kinds of antiques and cultural relics. This is also one of my collections.

I picked it out for you before you came. I think it suits you very well, and besides, it’s the dragon-shaped handle piece you gave me before.

As he said that, he took out the hand-held item from his trouser pocket and showed it to Chen Xu, then added: I accepted it without hesitation, so it's normal for you to accept it now that I'm giving you a gift.

Chen Xu heard Wang Li's words and nodded in agreement after a little hesitation. Wang Li saw her action and took out the gift from the box.

I saw that it was a jade necklace. Each bead of the necklace was as big as a peanut. There were 36 beads in total, and they were made of positive green material.

In fact, this jade necklace was one of the dozens of jade rough materials that Wang Li received by chance during the storm, and he bought it at a really low price at that time.

When he had nothing to do, he used the giant bronze sword to open it and obtained a lot of jade raw materials, including imperial green. Wang Li thought that this material was most suitable for making necklaces for girls.

That's why he used part of the material to make the jade necklace in his hand today.

If this necklace were brought back to later generations, it would probably cost tens of millions of dollars to buy it. Even with its current value, it could buy several houses.

Of course, Chen Xu didn’t know its true value yet. If she knew it was even more exaggerated and expensive than she had imagined, she would not agree to take it no matter what Wang Li said.

The reason for this error in value judgment is entirely because Chen Xu's current knowledge is limited, although she has learned a lot of ancient cultural knowledge and related jewelry introductions in the Red Mansion crew.

But obviously, there is a big deviation in the valuation of these jewels.

By the time I discovered the value of this jade necklace, I had already worn it for a long time and it was too late to return it.

Of course, she and Wang Li had already established a relationship at that time. With Chen Xu's personality, she would accept anything Wang Li gave her, because in her opinion, once she decided on a man, she would be with him for the rest of her life.

They would not be indecisive and would not consider breaking up in the future. This was the common thinking of most women in that era.

Unlike now, where you have already considered divorce before even getting married, if you meet a woman who studies law again, you probably won’t even have underwear left.

Wang Li personally put the jade necklace on Chen Xu's fair and slender neck. After that, Wang Li wanted to kiss her neck, but he was afraid of scaring this beautiful girl, so he held back.

After Wang Li helped Chen Xu put on the necklace, she quickly walked to the dressing mirror in the room and admired the jade necklace around her neck.

She was obviously very satisfied, because her skin became very fair, which matched the crystal clear green jadeite necklace very well.

After looking in the mirror, he said to Wang Li, "I like your gift very much, but it's a little too expensive, so I'm a little reluctant to wear it."

Wang Li said: It’s okay, just wear it. If you find something you like in the future, I will give it to you.

Chen Xu rolled her eyes charmingly again and said: This thing you are talking about looks like cabbage.

She didn't know Wang Li's strength yet. If she knew, she wouldn't say that.

I want to tell you here that among the many antiques collected by Wang Li, some were given to his children.

The others were placed in the underground treasury and all belonged to Wang Li himself, including jewelry and other precious items.

Wang Li gave a lot to Lai Xiaomei, but the most was given to Zheng Lan. Their things were also placed in their respective rooms and were considered their personal belongings.

Later, Wang Li would give them various precious gifts from time to time. As a modern man, he understood very well women's love for these things.

There is also appropriate little romance, which can enhance the feelings between each other.

This is also one of the reasons why he, Zheng Lan, and Lai Xiaomei and his wife have been able to support each other and love each other for so many years.

He was one of the relatively few men in Longguo at that time who knew how to love his wife and do some romantic things. This was a relatively precious knowledge and habit in that era.

Chen Xu admired the necklace for a while, then took Wang Li out of the hotel and went to Tiecheng Park for a visit.

The park they went to was quite famous, with many ancient buildings. When Wang Li came here, she would definitely take him to visit.
