Mrs. Gu Sr. recognized these pearls, and when Lin Youning mentioned making the hair comb, she had already explained the source of the pearls.
In the past, when the eldest son sent things back from the border, Mrs. Gu Sr. didn't look at them, she just had them sent directly to Tingxue Hall. Today, after seeing these pearls, she realized that the eldest son truly cared for Sister Ning.
Although pearls are common, finding ones that are so full and uniform in size is rare, and yet her son managed to obtain a whole box of them.
Mrs. Gu Sr. turned the hair comb over in her hands a few times before placing it back in the tray. "The craftsmanship is good. Keep it well. You should use it during your coming-of-age ceremony."
Lin Youning smiled and agreed, then called Shanmoi and Hailan in to collect the jewelry. She and Mrs. Gu Sr. then discussed which guests to invite to the ceremony.
