Chapter 712: Wrench, a metaphor for a position of power
This time, Liu Muguan did not reply to Old Man Sheng with any words.
Without a word, she took out the jade wrench from the rosewood box and put it firmly on her thumb.
Unexpectedly...... Not loose or tight, just right.
The wrench was called in ancient times.
It is a tool that the ancients brought when shooting arrows to prevent the strings from cutting their fingers.
Therefore, it is generally worn by men.
Later, it became a metaphorical symbol of power and status.
Liu Muguan's index finger gently rubbed the cold jade face...... This jade wrench is the last piece to be created in the whole set of jade jewelry.
It was also a birthday gift for her when she was eighteen years old in her last life, and on top of the coming-of-age ceremony, her mother solemnly gave it to her personally. Completely customized to the size of her thumb in her previous life.
It's just that she didn't expect that in this life, because of her height, her fingers will be slightly longer than before, and this wrench is still as tailor-made and can just be circled on her thumb.
The wrench finger has the meaning of being in power.
Mrs. Liu gave such a gift, on the one hand, to convey infinite high hopes, and on the other hand, to remind her not to forget her life mission.
But now?
Liu Muguan lowered his eyelashes, blocking the emotion in his eyes.
She wanted to let go of everything in the past and escape the heavy responsibility that had been imposed on her.
"Dad was so prescient." Sheng Shuangqi sat next to the old man and said with a smile, "I also wanted this wrench at the beginning, but my father said that I couldn't control it, so he still gave me a bracelet, and now it seems that it is really a perfect match for Xiaoxi." ”
Her words made many juniors on the side who were not wearing emerald phoenixes have a slightly obscure look in their eyes.
At the beginning, after the set of jade jewelry was sent to the Sheng family.
Old Man Sheng called all the family members except Sheng Yumo and distributed this set of jewelry in public.
"Dad, our Sheng family doesn't lack these, what is this so expensive, you actually want to ask us to share it?" Sheng Shuangqi asked this question curiously at that time.
"Hehe, it's just a matter of asking for a lottery." Old Man Sheng replied to his daughter at the time, "The original stone of this set of jewelry was rumored to be mysterious, and it was said to bring imperial luck. ”
"Well, I never believed that." Sheng Shuangqi didn't think so, but this jade was so good, it looked like flowing emerald green.
"Whether you believe it or not, the Liu family has indeed developed for so many years after this set of jade, which is amazing." Old Man Sheng sighed, "It's a pity." ”
The daughter of the Liu family, he also intended to marry them later.
But the Liu family is too ignorant of lifting.
In this case, it is no wonder that his subordinates are ruthless.
If it is allowed to develop, the pattern under this sky will probably change.
If you can't get married, then it's ruined.
He is not the only one who has this idea......
The old man gave each of the children in the family a piece of Emerald Phoenix's jewelry, except for Sheng Yumo and Sheng Wuye.
The old man doesn't seem to have any plans to share it with the juniors, and Sheng Yumo's parents died early. Sheng Wuye is because he has not married a family, and he is not a female dependent, and most of the jewelry is made for women, so it is useless for him to hold it.
So, what happened to stay was this jade wrench.
The old man took this wrench himself, and in the eyes of his family, it was normal.
The wrench is a symbol of authority.
It's not appropriate to give it to everyone else in the family.
But although the wrench is man-like, it is noticeably smaller.
