Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Applying for Discharge 5

Having heard Qiao Desheng’s words, Lu Jiang understood that the situation had been taken care of, and the person in charge was willing to look after Zhou Xuekui and Wang Xuehai, but if the urgently needed Gold Bracelet was to be delivered, the circumstances for Zhou Xuekui and Wang Xuehai would be even better.

"Let’s go, I’ll ask Qingxue."

Feng Qingxue was chatting leisurely with Fang Ning when she heard Lu Jiang’s request. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "It seems I do have a pair. I’ve pressed them down at the bottom of the chest. I’ll have a look. They were from my uncle as part of my dowry, old stuff that nobody has taken a fancy to, otherwise, they would have been long gone. I brought them over from my hometown during my vacation last year. Fortunately, Ajiang holds a high rank, and we are following military dependents; we don’t have to go through inspections like at the beginning."

In fact, what Wang Zhengguo had given was a gold bangle, not the genuine Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet; it was just a pretext invented on the spot.

All of the Lu Family’s treasures were in the spatial realm; not only were the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets abundant, but there were also many of them. Just the ones included in Lu Jiang’s mother’s dowry amounted to several boxes, which Lu Jiang’s father said were all for them, because when the eldest son of the Lu Family got married, he took away half of the family fortune, which Lu Jiang did not.

Without including the items they had obtained from the waste collection station, flea market, or second-hand market, she already considered herself a wealthy woman.

"How could we accept this?" Fang Ning glared at Qiao Desheng.

Qiao Desheng looked up at the sky, pretending not to see, which annoyed Fang Ning to the point where her teeth itched. This man was really unreserved.

A pair of Gold Bracelets, especially the old-style Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets, would not be light. Once exchanged at the bank, they would be worth at least several hundred yuan!

Although bedridden during the day, Feng Qingxue dressed neatly, just in case visitors came and felt inconvenient to enter the room. Thus, she lifted the quilt, held Lu Jiang’s hand to get off the bed, and opened the large chest.

Pretending to search for a while, Feng Qingxue took out a pair of real Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets from the space, wrapped them in red cloth in the chest, and took them out.

Tian Ling had finished washing clothes and making lunch before she left, and Yang’s mother did not come today, so Feng Qingxue dared to take them out.

"Here, take a look and see if they are suitable," Feng Qingxue offered to Fang Ning.

Fang Ning opened the cloth to look and gasped.

It was an exquisitely beautiful pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets, made from pure red gold, with the dragons and phoenixes on them looking lifelike.

"They are definitely suitable," Qiao Desheng said. He picked up one of the bracelets and inspected it carefully, "Not only is it old craftsmanship, but it’s also from the hands of a master. My mother’s dowry included a similar pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets, only the craftsmanship was similar; the dragons and phoenixes were not exactly the same. This old craftsman never made two identical items; each piece was unique in its posture."

Fubao saw them and her eyes immediately shone as bright as the dazzling light of the Gold Bracelets. She tugged at Feng Qingxue’s sleeve and said, "Mommy, mommy, they’re so pretty! I want some too."

"What does a child need them for? These are for adults. When Fubao grows up, mommy will give you some," Feng Qingxue promised.

In her family of four sons and one daughter, most of the jewelry she had collected would eventually be gifted to Fubao in the future.

Of course, Fubao also had her own private stash worth a considerable sum.

Fubao reluctantly looked at the bracelets in Fang Ning’s hands, then stretched out her tender little hands to Feng Qingxue, who obligingly bent down to listen to her say, "Pinky promise, hang yourself if you lie, no changing for a hundred years!"

"No changing, no changing!" When her daughter grew up, all the jewels and ornaments would be able to make their appearance; both mother and daughter could wear them.

Back at home, Fang Ning kept complaining to Qiao Desheng, "Look at you, being so informal with the army commander. You just took a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets like that; it’s not something worth just a few dollars."

... There were precedents for bribery; a given wristwatch allowed the demoted individual to spend ten comfortable years until he was eventually vindicated.
