After having a conversation with Old Mr. Meng in the study, it was lunchtime. Wufu and Ah Jiu kept the Old Master company for lunch and shared a couple of small cups of wine, only leaving after having tea in the afternoon.
Inside the carriage on the way back to the city, Wufu nudged Ah Jiu on the side and asked, "What did my master give you?"
After the meal, the Old Master had taken Ah Jiu to the secret room to choose a meeting gift, and it was quite a while before they came out.
Ah Jiu took out a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Pair from his sleeve and handed it to her, "The master gave it to me, saying one for you and one for me."
Wufu took it and saw it was a pair of exquisite mutton fat jade, crafted with hollow carving techniques, delicate and clear. The intricate dragon and phoenix patterns complemented each other perfectly, so she said, "I'll have Hongyu make a nice cord for it later."
Ah Jiu smiled and agreed.
