A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 622 What Does That Hairpin Look Like?
When Mrs. Xia went into the room to change clothes, Meng Yan also sat in her room, and then saw Mrs. Xia wearing the cloak she came back from yesterday, and said, "Mother, will you take this cloak and return it to him later?"

Xia Shi said from behind the screen: "I haven't had time to wash it today, so I can return it to him after I wash it and dry it tomorrow."

Meng Yan supported her head with one hand, tapped her fingers on the table with the other hand, and said with a half-smile: "Mother only put it on for a short while, and I have to help him wash it. Wouldn't it be too cheap for him?"

Xia Shi said angrily, "What are you talking about? They have good intentions, and I can't be perfunctory."

Meng Yan raised her eyebrows, and suddenly asked: "Did Mother ask him, who is there in the family?"

Xia Shi said: "I asked what this is for."

"Of course I'm asking if he's married, and if he's single now."

Xia Shi didn't know how to do it, the clothes behind the screen rustled and fell to the ground, she hurriedly bent over to pick it up in a hurry, and then reprimanded with some annoyance: "Ah Nai!"

Meng Yan picked out her ears and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just talk casually, don't ask if you don't ask." She sighed, and said, "Li Guo and Yin Guo are so far apart, if you really want to, I can't bear it either."

Meng Yan felt that the people from the Marquis of Shang had good character, but it was a pity that they were from Li.Moreover, he is the Marquis of Qin State of Li State. So many ladies in Li State must be flocking to him, and the possibility of not getting married is very slim.

So this is mostly out of the question.

I won't mention it here.

The dishes in the dining hall were almost ready, so Meng Yan accompanied Xia Shi over.

The two carried each other, walked out from the dim light, talking from time to time, the charm between their eyebrows was somewhat similar.

Marquis Shang looked up, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Xia Shi.

She resumed her dignified, decent and gentle demeanor, which reminded Shang Hou of the scene in the street in the afternoon when she hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and pulled him into the carriage.

Xia family bowed to the Marquis with a guilty conscience and said, "Today... I have caused trouble for the Marquis again."

Shanghou said: "Madam don't worry about little things."

Fortunately, no one in Jingzhao Yin's Yamen knew him, which saved him a lot of trouble.And he obviously didn't take it personally.

Then everyone sat down to eat.

The servant brought the wine, needless to say, Yin Heng had to drink with the Marquis of Shang.

Those who fight on the battlefield will not be bad at drinking.Although Shanghou didn't say it clearly, drinking with Yin Heng made him feel happier than drinking at the palace banquet before.

Probably a real hero.

Both of them are unsmiling people on the court, but there is a sense of casualness in their conversation.

The Xia family also thanked the Marquis of Shang and drank two glasses of wine.

Meng Yan couldn't drink wine yet, so she served them vegetables.

Later, Yin Heng said to the Marquis of Shang: "To be honest, Yin has something to ask today."

Shanghou said: "But it's okay to talk."

Yin Heng said: "My wife found a hairpin missing after returning home yesterday. I wonder if Marquis Shang found it?"

The Marquis of Shang only thought that the hairpin of the princess should not be left somewhere else, and said: "I didn't pay attention, so I never saw a hairpin. I'll help you find it later."

Meng Yan said: "Thank you so much, Lord Hou."

Shang Hou said: "I don't know what the hairpin looks like?"

Meng Yan looked at Mrs. Xia and said, "My grandfather passed on the hairpin to my mother and she has been wearing it. My mother is more familiar with it than I am. Mother, please describe it to Lord Hou."

Xia Shi described it carefully, the golden and silver hairpin body, the intricate lines, and the finishing touch is a cluster of half-opened and half-bloomed purple flowers on the head of the hairpin.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Shang looked a little uncertain.After all, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and it is not very real just by listening to the description.

In addition, Meng Yan also told Shanghou all the places she walked in the embassy last night.What if it was left on the way after entering the embassy?

After dinner, it was getting late, Shang Hou took A Shuo to say goodbye and left.

Xia Shi let the carriage carry the things bought during the day and send them on a journey.

When they arrived at the embassy, ​​Shang Hou and A Shuo couldn't hold the car full of things with both hands, and then went to the other courtyard to call a few Li people to help send the things back to Shang Hou's house.

The house of the Marquis of Shang is the largest, and the special products bought in Yin country are basically piled in his house.

After the others retreated, Ah Shuo began to organize things slowly.

He said as he said, "Everything I can think of, I didn't expect, she bought it all, and she is more careful than I imagined." Regardless of whether Shang Hou was listening, he kept talking to himself, "Like that kind of high-ranking The wives in the mansion basically order people to do these things, but today I saw her go to the street in person and choose by herself, I felt her sincerity."

Shang Hou did not answer him as usual.

A Shuo asked again: "Master Hou felt it?"

Shanghou still didn't answer.

A Shuo then said again: "But sincerity is all sincerity, Master Hou, please don't have any indiscriminate thoughts about others because of this. Sometimes people can easily confuse emotion with emotion. Lonely old men are the easiest to fall for."

The Marquis of Shang ignored him, and it would be boring for him to be alone, so Ashuo raised his head, and saw Marquis Shang walking around the room, looking at the bottom of the table for a while, and under the curtain for a while, then Ask: "What is Lord Hou looking for?"

When having dinner at the palace, A Shuo also went to eat with Yan'er Chongyi and the others, so I don't know what they talked about at the dinner table.

Marquis Shang said casually, "Princess Yin Wu lost a hairpin."

I searched again, but there is no one in the house.

Shang Hou said to A Shuo again: "Go and ask, did someone come into my room to clean it today?"

Ah Shuo went to ask, but no one came to clean it.

Then Marquis Shang picked up a lamp and walked out. Ashuo followed him and said, "Isn't it possible to find it tomorrow? Right now, the lights are dark, how can I find it?"

Shang Hou said: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong now, so it's better to look for it."

A Shuo said: "I seriously doubt that Lord Hou is courting that lady."

After walking for a while, Shang Hou said, "Hearing her description tonight makes me feel a little familiar."

A Shuo saw that his Lord Hou looked solemn, and he didn't seem to be idle or joking, so he took it easy, and walked along the road that Meng Yan walked with Shang Hou all the way last night, and started searching.

A Shuo said: "If it fell on the road, it must have been picked up by someone. If you can't find it tonight, I will ask the people in the embassy tomorrow."

The two masters and servants are mainly looking for the grass along the way, and the possibility of being covered by the grass cannot be ruled out.

In the end, the two found the place where Meng Yan and the others climbed over the wall to enter and leave the embassy.

The traces of being trampled on last night can still be faintly seen in the grass under the shadow of the trees.

It's just that the grass is dense and hard to find, and the light from the lantern is not very bright.The master and servant had no choice but to squat down under the shadow of the tree, and grope around from time to time.
