Ye Shiqi, having eaten her fill, did not continue to wait in the dining hall; she returned to her room to prepare some items.
To give to her cousins as gifts.
The gifts Ye Shiqi presented were far from cheap; they were made from the purple sandalwood, greenish sandalwood, and scrap pieces of Old Sandalwood and pearwood she had obtained from her father.
She had prepared a birthday gift for Tang Shunyan, and later crafted combs for her grandparents. Her parents and all five sisters also received combs made of Old Sandalwood, with even smaller pieces of wood left over.
She thought of the larger beads she had made for Tang Shunyan to wear on his wrist.
The smaller pieces of wood could also be turned into beads, or she could use the adhesive from her father's wood factory to bond some pieces together to create attractive jewelry.
Of course, she also made a lovely gourd pendant for herself, hanging it from a red string around her neck.
