Chapter 194: Is She Really Not Da Hai’s Daughter?
“What’s with those dolphins of Yun Jiao’s? Do you know them? Why would they give you such a large gold bracelet? Did the dolphins find this gold bracelet from the sea? If not, how would they know people like this?”
The barrage of words was too dense, but Yun Jiao was immune.
After all, orcas and dolphins are quite talkative creatures, and a dozen or so clamoring in her mind was livelier than a vegetable market; she was used to it.
Patiently waiting for Wang Yi to finish asking, Yun Jiao answered very concisely.
“Don’t know, don’t know them, they gave me a gold bracelet and asked me to sing, I don’t know…”
Every sentence had a question and an answer, but Wang Yi himself didn’t know which answer corresponded to which question.
“Let me see that gold bracelet of yours.”
Wang Yi was interested in the gold bracelet, not with greed, but just curious to see it.
Their family were officials, his mother had a good background, and her dowry included gold.
His family was not lacking money, and influenced by his father, Wang Yi’s character was very upright.
Yun Jiao directly handed over the gold bracelet in her hand.
“Wow…”
Wang Yi looked around and exclaimed.
Yun Jiao tilted her head, what, did he recognize this bracelet?
“This thing looks quite good, and it’s obviously not simple.”
Yun Jiao: ………
Truly, hearing your words is like hearing your words.
Wang Yi returned the bracelet to Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao put it into her bag.
According to the family’s principle of low-key wealth accumulation, this item should not be seen by the villagers.
Upon returning home, Granny Yun pulled them to wash their hands and then enthusiastically stuffed baozi into their hands.
“Come, come, eat them while they’re hot. Later, we’ll have mackerel dumplings at home.”
Yun Jiao didn’t hesitate at all and stuffed the meat baozi into her mouth, delicious and fragrant.
It was a sugar filling.
Wang Yi and Sun Yaoqin followed suit and started eating, praising how delicious it was, making Granny Yun’s smile even more evident.
After Yun Jiao finished her baozi, she licked the sugar off her hands before going to wash them.
She ran to the kitchen, took Granny Yun’s hand, and took out the large gold bracelet, unhesitatingly putting it on Granny’s wrist.
Granny Yun’s wrist was slender, and the bracelet fit perfectly.
“Beautiful.”
Granny Yun’s expression changed from unsuspecting joy to confusion, and then to shock.
Granny Yun: !!!
Was her eyesight failing?
But the real weight on her wrist confirmed she wasn’t hallucinating; it was indeed a gold bracelet!
“Jiaojiao, where did you get this?”
The old person stammered, looking at the large gold bracelet on her wrist.
Granny Yun’s family was well-off when she was young, so she naturally had gold bracelets.
However, looking at the gold bracelet on her wrist, she could tell at a glance that even when her family was not in decline, she couldn’t afford this bracelet.
It wasn’t about the gold, but the craftsmanship; only the nobility of the past could afford such a bracelet.
Yun Jiao: “The dolphins gave it to me.”
Granny Yun reacted slowly after a few seconds: “What? What dolphins?”
Shouldn’t it have been orcas?
Yun Jiao took another baozi and started eating, this time a pork filling.
“I met dolphins, they gave me a gift and asked me to sing.”
“Granny Yun, I know, I know you’re asking me.”
Wang Yi embellished the story of the dolphins giving gifts, narrating it like a storyteller.
Wang Yun and her husband marveled at the side.
Yun Jiao: →_→
You’re seriously saying that my singing stirred the ocean, the dolphins danced to my song and brought a storm, and that the dolphins were so intelligent they could almost talk?
Wang Yi: Hehe… I just embellished it a bit, the details aren’t important!
However, the origin of the large gold bracelet was explained, even though it sounded too unbelievable and sci-fi.
But Sun Yaoqin, who was present, testified that the dolphins really did give the large bracelet.
Sun Yaotong was in the jewelry business and was very interested in the large gold bracelet, politely asking to see it.
Granny Yun directly took the bracelet off and handed it over.
After a careful inspection, Sun Yaotong exclaimed: “Perhaps the dolphins found this from a sunken ship on the seabed. If I’m not mistaken, this craftsmanship uses techniques like gilding, inlay, and filigree. The gemstones are also very well-polished, and the materials are substantial.”
He returned the bracelet, his eyes gleaming with interest.
“If it was indeed found in a sunken ship, then the things in that sunken ship are not limited to this one item.”
At that time, there was no law for the protection of underwater cultural relics, nor were there regulations for the handover of salvaged artifacts from the sea. Therefore, Sun Yaotong was interested in that sunken ship. If it could be found, everything inside would be an antique, and even if not sold, it could be collected.
He pondered this in his mind, not rushing to say it, intending to discuss it with Yun Linhai and the others when they returned.
If the sunken ship was not far, they might be able to cooperate on a salvage operation.
Granny Yun was reluctant to wear such a precious item on her wrist; it would be too ostentatious.
However, she truly liked the bracelet.
When she was a rich young lady, she preferred jade bracelets.
But now, she realistically stated that the shiny color of this large gold bracelet looked very beautiful.
She wiped the bracelet and put it away.
Wang Yun was more interested in the dolphin dance her nephew mentioned.
Wang Yun herself was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.
“Jiaojiao, can those dolphins really dance to your singing?”
Yun Jiao thought for a moment and nodded, that could probably be considered dancing.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun said with regret: “If I had known, I would have gone with you. I actually missed such a magical scene.”
What was even more regrettable was that she hadn’t brought her tools.
Alas… her professional standards still needed improvement.
Yun Jiao patted her hand to comfort her: “Next time, I’ll take God Mother to see.”
Wang Yun: “Ah? What does that mean? You can encounter them again?”
This was quite a surprise.
Yun Jiao was not entirely sure: “I don’t know, probably can.”
After all, it was her first time interacting with those dolphins.
Wang Yun grabbed her hand: “Then next time God Mother will go tide pooling with Jiao Jiao. Even if I can’t get photos of the dolphins, I can photograph other things.”
“I’ve never been to the seaside before.”
“God Mother, you want photos?”
Wang Yun nodded: “I haven’t told you, have I? I, your God Mother, am an editor at a newspaper. I love writing novel stories the most.”
In this era, reporters and editors at newspapers held considerable prestige.
Most reporters were factual, without much foul play.
Upon hearing her words, Yun Jiao ran off with a thudding sound and soon returned, holding a photo album.
“God Mother, here.”
“A photo album? It’s quite large.”
She opened it and was soon shocked.
Looking at the photos in the album and then at Yun Jiao.
Her mouth was wide open.
“No, Jiaojiao, these…”
She struggled for a while and finally managed to say: “Are you really not the sea’s own daughter?”
