994 Sending It to You

“Back then, my great-grandmother’s family was very rich. Her father spent a lot of money to buy this raw material, then carved it into a pair of jade bracelets and gave it to my great-grandmother as a dowry. My great-grandmother gave this bracelet to my grandmother. My grandmother gave it to my mother. When I got married, my mother gave these two bracelets to me.”
Tan Ron roughly calculated the time. These two bracelets were almost a hundred years old.
“These two bracelets must be important to you.” Tan Rou said.
Shen Jing nodded. “Yes, this is our family heirloom. My mother said that if I have a daughter, I will give the bracelet to her, and she will give it to her granddaughter. It will be passed down from generation to generation. However, when it came to Xiao Liu’s generation, I only had him as my only child. I didn’t have a daughter.”
Tan Rou felt a little regretful. “Then the inheritance ends here.”
Shen Jing smiled and looked at Tan Rou. “Not really. Although I don’t have a daughter, I have a very good daughter-in-law. In my heart, my daughter-in- law and daughter are the same, so I want to pass these two bracelets to you.”
Tan Rou refused to accept it. “No, this is your family heirloom. How can you give it to me?”
“If it can’t be passed down, how can it be called a family heirloom? I wanted to give this to you before, but I never had the time to bring you here. Today, you and Xiao Liu have registered your marriage. This is a day worth celebrating, so I’m passing this bracelet to you. I hope you can accept it.”
Tan Rou still felt that this gift was too precious. The price of the bracelet itself was one point, and the meaning behind the bracelet was another point.
“Mom, you should keep it. Although you don’t have a daughter, Ah Liu and I might have a daughter in the future. You can give it to your granddaughter then.” Tan Rou advised.
“Xiao Rou, this is an inheritance.” Shen Jing said, “To me, these are not just pieces of jewelry. They are also the love of our elders. Our blessings are all placed in the bracelets. I’m passing the bracelets to you because I hope you can receive my blessings. As for whether I will have a granddaughter in the future, no one knows.”
Tan Rou hesitated. “Mom, this thing is too precious. Besides, you’ve given me too many gifts. I really can’t accept this jade bracelet.”
During the last engagement, Shen Jing gave Tan Rou a lot of jewelry. She was afraid that Tan Rou would not be satisfied with the jewelry she gave her, so Shen Jing specially gave Tan Rou a diamond mine and let her choose the diamonds she liked.
“What’s precious is the memories, not the bracelet itself.” Shen Jing caressed the bracelet.
“Back then, there was so much chaos, but my grandmother didn’t leave these bracelets behind. It can be seen that this bracelet is very important. So I hope you can protect them well and cherish them well in the future.”
She wrapped the bracelet and handed it to Tan Rou. “Rourou, are you willing to accept them?”
“I’ll definitely take good care of them,” Tan Rou promised as she took the box solemnly.
Shen Jing was very happy. “Then quickly take it out and try it on. Your wrist is delicate and fair. It will definitely look good on you.”
Tan Rou had no choice but to open the box again. The green jade looked even more beautiful under the light. It felt warm and cool on her hand. The two bracelets gently collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.
“It’s so beautiful! Rourou’s hands are beautiful. They look good with the bracelet,” Shen Jingpraised.
After wearing it for a while, Tan Rou took off the bangles. The things she usually came into contact with were relatively hard instruments, so it was not suitable for her to wear fragile jewelry. Therefore, she could only keep the two bangles.
Shen Jing did not mind because she had not worn it many times. These two bracelets were too precious and she could not bear to wear them.
“You haven’t taken your wedding photos yet. When you go back to take your wedding photos, wear these two bracelets. I wore it when I took photos back then,” said Shen Jing.
The fiery red wedding dress with golden threads and the green jade bracelet made her look elegant and luxurious.
Tan Rou looked at the two bracelets with a long history and nodded. “Yes, I’ll definitely wear them.”
After that, Shen Jing picked out a few more treasures from inside. Each of them could be regarded as a family heirloom, but only the two bracelets were real family heirlooms. After all, they had been passed down for more than a hundred years.
