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

Chapter 623
If you can't find this place again, it should be left outside the embassy.

Ah Shuo had already given up hope, but his family's master Hou didn't give up, he just groped to the bottom of the wall, suddenly stopped, and touched a cold object.

Marquis Shang picked it up and saw it was indeed a hairpin in the dim yellow light.

The gold and silver hairpin exudes a luxurious texture, and the Marquis of Shang saw the decoration on the head of the hairpin at a glance. Although he only took a rough look, his expression changed when his eyes touched him, and he immediately put it away in his sleeve. , got up and said: "Go back first."

On the way back, Marquis Shang made bold moves, and his steps were extremely fast.

A Shuo followed beside him, the lantern in his hand couldn't help moving too much, the candle inside flickered and went out.

The master and servant returned to the other courtyard in one breath, Shang Hou stepped into the door first, and said to A Shuo: "Close the door."

Ashuo turned around and closed the door.

Shanghou sat down at the table, took out the hairpin from his sleeve, and observed it carefully with his eyebrows fixed.

It is exactly as what Xia Shi described, the half-blossoming purple flowers on the head of this hairpin are extremely exquisite.

The precipitation of years and time did not make it fade in the slightest, but it became more graceful.

A Shuo also has a lot of exposure to valuables, especially the weaving in the palace of their Li country, and the difference between them and the common ones can be seen at a glance.

And the Zihua on the hairpin not only made Shang Hou freeze, but A Shuo was also taken aback.

A Shuo hesitated and said, "Why does Princess Yin Wu... have things from my country of Li?"

Shang Hou glanced at A Shuo and said, "Have you seen it?"

A Shuo said: "Although I haven't seen it before, this craftsmanship and the carvings on the hairpin are only found in our Li Kingdom Palace. Didn't the palace give the old lady a few hairpins, although there is no purple flower on the head of the hairpin , but the carvings on the hairpin are similar."

Purple is the most noble color in their country.

After a long time, the Marquis of Shang said slowly and stagnantly: "Thanks to the old lady, I have seen one that is exactly the same."

A Shuo couldn't help asking, "Where is it?"

The Marquis of Shang was concentrating for a long time, but did not answer.

Afterwards, he carefully put away the hairpin, and said to A Shuo: "Postpone the departure for two days, there are still some things that I need to clarify. Make an appointment for me with Mrs. Xia at Yinwu Prince's Mansion tomorrow or the day after." Paused After a pause, he thought about it and said, "It's not convenient to go to Prince Yinwu's mansion again, so lead her to Jingyuan."

Ah Shuo was stunned, and said: "Master Hou, that place... can't be easily..."

The Marquis of Shang looked at him and said, "I usually drink two cups of tea, I have my own measure."

Ah Shuo replied: "Yes."

Now that Meng Mei knew that Meng Yan had discovered it was her, she was also very calm.

As usual, he recuperated in his own courtyard.

The last time Meng Yan gave her such a big gift in the main hall of the palace, how could she not pay her back.Thinking about it now, as long as I don't leave the Prince's Mansion, nothing will happen.

No matter how courageous Meng Yan was, she would not dare to trespass into the prince's mansion.

Even though she thought so in her heart, Meng Mei would often wake up in the middle of the night with a start, thinking that Meng Yan was standing beside her bed, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the bed was empty, and she would break out in a cold sweat.

This opponent is too powerful, she changed hands several times before asking Xiangzhu to do things, but Meng Yan still found out the truth the next day.

If it was someone else, it would be easy to deal with, but this Meng Yan obviously made her feel difficult.

It's a pity that there are not many trustworthy people around Meng Mei, and those who are trustworthy are too stupid.If she had done it herself, she would have the confidence to make it difficult for Meng Yan to catch her.

But now that things have come to this point, she can only be vigilant at every step, so that she can't even sleep well.

During the daytime, Xiang Zhu was transferred to the outside room by another maid, Xiang Lan, to serve her, trying not to show her face in front of Meng Mei.

Xiangzhu should hide far away.

And Meng Mei never punished her, she was worried all day long, she was no better than Meng Mei.

Remembering the day when the Marquis of Shang and the others were going to leave the capital, Xia quickly washed the cloak that Marquis Shang had given her and dried it on the stove.

Although she did not wash the cloak with her own hands, she baked it with her own hands when it was baked.

Seeing this, Meng Yan had nothing to say. She was afraid that her mother was very grateful to the Marquis of Shang now, and she didn't know what to do to repay her, so she had to do some trivial things within her ability.

It was only later that Meng Yan heard the news again and told the Xia family that the Marquis of Shang and the others were not in a hurry to leave these two days, and the departure date was postponed.

Xia Shi was taken aback, raised his head and asked, "Why didn't you leave again?"

Meng Yan said: "It seems that we have to wait until King Shou's birthday is over before leaving." She looked at Xia's hands, and said, "Mother, the cloak fell into the stove."

Shocked again, Xia quickly pulled up the corner of the cloak and hugged her in her arms.

After the whole cloak was dried, she carefully folded it up, placed it on the couch, and gently smoothed the folds on it with her hands.

Then Ah Shuo came to send word, saying that Shang Hou had found the hairpin that Meng Yan had lost.

It's just that Ah Shuo didn't come through the main door. When Meng Yan asked where he was, the housekeeper replied that he was waiting at the back door.

Meng Yan and Xia went to the back door together.

Sure enough, Ah Shuo was waiting there, but there was a carriage outside the door waiting together.

A Shuo raised his hands and said, "Princess, Mrs. Xia, my Lord Hou wants to invite Mrs. Xia to come and return the hairpin in person."

Xia could not help looking at Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said: "It's just a hairpin, the Marquis of Shang just asked you to bring it to me. Why do you need to spend so much trouble?"

A Shuo said: "Regarding the origin of that hairpin, Master Hou has something to ask Mrs. Xia."

Meng Yan frowned and said, "Didn't the Marquis of Shang discover something?"

A Shuo said: "That hairpin belongs to my country of Li."

Both Meng Yan and Xia Shi were taken aback.

A Shuo said again: "For the time being, I can only tell you this, the specifics need to go to Mrs. Xia to find out."

Meng Yan hadn't thought about this before.She has never seen her grandfather before, and she doesn't know what kind of person he is, but that hairpin is not like an ordinary thing.Ordinary villagers in Sui Township, who can come into contact with such things?

It's just those dusty past events that can't be explored.

Regarding the past of this hairpin, the only person who knows the most about this hairpin must be the Xia family.She had to go there to find out what was going on.

But how could Meng Yan feel at ease, and said, "Where are you taking her? I will go with her."

A Shuo said: "Princess, please forgive me, this matter can only be done by Madam Xia alone. But please rest assured, Madam Xia, I will take Madam Xia away at this time, and I will definitely send her back safe and sound before dark."

Xia said: "Let me go." She patted Meng Yan's hand and said, "Don't worry, Ah Nan, nothing will happen."

Although she has only met each other a few times, she believes that Shanghou is an upright and open gentleman.
