Chapter 191 A slap in the face
Du Xiangyi gave her a pearl bracelet. The pearls were full and round, and there was actually a purple one in it.
As soon as this pearl bracelet came into view, the girls immediately let out a burst of exclamation.
"What a beautiful pearl bracelet."
"This pearl is too big!"
All the girls looked at the pearl bracelet with amazement on their faces.
Xu Mengjing also didn't expect that Du Xiangyi would give her such a beautiful pearl bracelet, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.
"Xiangyi, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
When Shen Jintang saw this, he raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence?
Ji Lingxi couldn't help but rolled her eyes quietly.
She leaned into Shen Jintang's ear and whispered: "The Du family is also an old family, with people serving as officials for generations. Her father is the governor of Du."
Shen Jintang nodded understandingly after hearing this.
No wonder you are so arrogant.
The governor is a third-rank official and belongs to an established family, so he does have the confidence to be arrogant.
After Du Xiangyi finished enjoying the compliments from the girls, she set her sights on Shen Jintang.
Looking at Shen Jintang's porcelain-smooth and fair skin and beautiful appearance, a trace of deep jealousy flashed in her eyes.
It was this woman who attracted so many people's attention as soon as she arrived.
How could a person from a poor family overshadow her when he appeared?
Du Xiangyi raised her chin slightly, looked at Shen Jintang, and said, "I was looking forward to the gift you gave me to Mengjing. I wonder what gift Miss Shen gave me?"
Shen Jintang smiled faintly and said, "I don't have anything good, so I'll give you a few..."
"Mengjing, aren't you looking forward to the gift Miss Shen gave you? Open it and take a look!" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Du Xiangyi impatiently.
Du Xiangyi only heard Shen Jintang's previous sentence, which was nothing good.
She knew what good things a person from a poor family could get away with.
In front of everyone, when Xu Mengjing opens the gift, she will definitely want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Du Xiangyi couldn't wait to see Shen Jintang's expression as he was about to crawl into the cracks of the ground.
Xu Mengjing was also afraid that Shen Jintang would be embarrassed when opening the gift.
After all, the bracelet Du Xiangyi gave me is really eye-catching.
Therefore, he took Shen Jintang's gift and refused to open it: "Let's drink tea and chat first."
The more unwilling she was to open it, the more Du Xiangyi wanted her to open it to see what Shen Jintang had given her.
When some girls who wanted to please her saw this, they also said to Xu Mengjing: "Since everyone wants to see it, just open it. Anyway, they won't all have to open it then."
Xu Mengjing frowned and was about to refuse when Shen Jintang said quietly from the side: "Mengjing, you don't have to feel embarrassed, just take it apart and take a look if you want."
Shen Jintang had already spoken, and Xu Mengjing could no longer refuse, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Okay, let me take it apart and take a look."
Hearing Xu Mengjing's words, everyone looked at her expectantly.
It seems that I am looking forward to it more than receiving the gift.
Ji Lingxi also glanced at Shen Jintang worriedly and said to her: "It's okay, it's just a gift, it doesn't mean anything."
Shen Jintang smiled when he heard this, looked at her and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't make a fool of myself."
At this moment, Xu Mengjing had already opened the carton of the gift.
The exquisitely crafted small box inside was revealed.
When Du Xiangyi saw this, she suddenly let out a sneer.
If the gift is not very good, what will happen no matter how exquisite and beautiful the box is?
Xu Mengjing took the box but didn't open it for a long time.
When the girls saw this, they couldn't help but urge: "Mengjing, please open it quickly and take a look."
Xu Mengjing had no choice but to slowly open the box.
The moment she looked down, her eyes widened.
What did she see?
There is a box of pearls slightly smaller than longan, and they are of more than one color.
All of them are plump and round, and you can tell they are valuable just by looking at them.
"Oh my god..." Xu Mengjing couldn't help but exclaimed.
Other girls also saw this box of pearls.
They all covered their mouths in disbelief.
Du Xiangyi always wanted to see Shen Jintang make a fool of herself, so naturally she also kept watching Xu Mengjing opening gifts.
So, she watched helplessly as Xu Mengjing opened the small box, revealing the pearls inside which were slightly smaller than longan.
Du Xiangyi's original proud smile suddenly froze on her face.
Then, her face turned red quickly, visible to the naked eye!
However, Ji Lingxi also saw the box of pearls and said in shock: "What big pearls, and there are actually pink ones."
None of the other girls had seen such a big pearl, and they immediately swarmed around it.
"I have never seen such a big pearl in my life."
"Yes, there are actually pink ones. This is the first time I have seen pink pearls."
The girls' chatter was like a slap on Du Xiangyi's face mercilessly.
Her originally flushed face gradually began to turn pale.
At this time, the pearl bracelet she gave to Xu Mengjing was still there. Compared with the pearls Shen Jintang gave to Xu Mengjing, it was like a child standing in front of an adult who was over 1.8 meters tall. No matter how I looked at it, I found it ridiculous.
Du Xiangyi had previously thought of making Shen Jintang want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
At this moment, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Although white pearls are common, such big ones are really rare, not to mention purple, pink, this one is beige, right?" A girl said with an envious look: "This pearl must be worth a lot of money."
Xu Mengjing was finally willing to look away from the box of pearls and looked at Shen Jintang with a happy and grateful expression.
"Jintang, you are too kind to me! One of such a big pearl is amazing, and you actually gave me a box."
Shen Jintang smiled and said: "When you want to customize jewelry in the future, just have these pearls inlaid."
At this time, a girl murmured in confusion: "Isn't she from a poor family? This pearl is not something that ordinary people have."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the crowd.
Yes, how could someone from a poor family have such a fine pearl?
Moreover, she always gives away a box.
At this moment, another girl spoke in a low voice: "I remember that when the Qingzhou magistrate was Lord Yin, Yin Luoyao held a wedding banquet in Baiyuan Garden. This girl Shen seemed to have saved the county owner.
Moreover, she seems to be acquainted with His Highness the Grand Sun."
Not only do they know each other, they seem to have a good relationship.
After being reminded like this, the other girls also remembered it.
No wonder Shen Jintang comes from a poor family but can produce such good pearls.
Come to think of it, even if you have money, you can't buy such pearls.
Then there is only one possibility: His Highness the Grand Sun gave it to her.
Thinking of this, those girls looked at Shen Jintang with eager eyes.
"Miss Shen, come and sit with me. The pastries here are delicious."
"Miss Shen, please sit next to me..."
"Miss Shen..."
