Chapter 79 Golden Hairpin
The next day, Shen Wan had breakfast as usual and prepared to pay her respects to the old lady.
Just as she was about to leave, a maid came in and said, "The old lady is not feeling well, so the girls are excused from going to greet her in the morning."
No need to greet, which was exactly what Shen Wan wanted. The little maid left, and Yin Chuan came in and whispered, "I heard that after dinner last night, the fourth lady went to Shou'an Hall, and she was still wiping her tears when she left..."
Shen Wan picked up the teacup, and the mist of tea covered the smile on her lips.
The Fourth Lady is someone who never suffers a loss. If she knew that the Old Lady favored the Second House, it would be strange if she didn't go to the Old Lady and cry.
The old lady must have compensated the fourth lady with three thousand taels of silver, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen ill from anger.
All morning, Chen Wan didn't go anywhere. She just sat at the desk, lost in thought as she stared at the hairpin drawn on the paper.
She had been thinking about it for a whole night and a whole morning, but she couldn't remember who she had seen wearing this hairpin in her previous life.
This concerns my eldest brother's lifelong happiness, so I have to remember it even if I have to rack my brains.
Shanhu and Yinchuan counted all the ladies from prominent families in Kyoto one by one. Chen Wan shook her head as they counted one.
Chen Wan felt dizzy from shaking, and reached out to rub his Taiyangxue.
Suddenly Shen Wan raised his head and looked at Shan Hu, "Who were you talking about?"
Shanhu was a little confused, not understanding why the girl reacted so strongly. She asked cautiously, "The eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel's residence?"
It's her!
The person who wore this hairpin in the previous life was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel!
Finally found the person.
Shen Wan was very happy, but before she could be happy for a moment, her brows were twisted into knots.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel's Mansion is not engaged at the moment. If big brother likes her, he can just come and propose marriage. With your status as the prince of Duke Dingguo, the Minister of Personnel's Mansion will not refuse the marriage. Big brother has not even come to propose marriage, but just says that we are not destined to be together. When did big brother become so awkward?
Shen Wan felt that something was wrong.
In her previous life, it was half a year later that she saw the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel's Mansion wearing this gold hairpin. Just because the hairpin belonged to her then, it didn't mean it still belonged to her now. Perhaps it was given to her by someone else.
After much difficulty in remembering the person, it turned out to be in vain. Shen Wan was extremely depressed.
Shanhu asked, "Isn't she also the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel's residence?"
Shen Wan shook his head, "It shouldn't be her."
Yin Chuan said, "There are only a few shops in Kyoto that can make such exquisite jewelry. I'll go ask around and maybe I can find out."
That's all we can do.
Chen Wan handed the blueprint to Yin Chuan and asked her to inquire about it.
Chen Wan didn't sleep well last night, and she had been thinking about this matter all morning. Her head was swelling. She was going to go to the garden to get some fresh air and go find Chen Yu. As she walked to the door, she heard Tu Bai's angry voice, "The Yongqing Marquis' Mansion is clearly deliberately disgusting!"
Shen Wan walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tu Bai replied, "The Prince of Yongqing will marry Miss Xu in five days."
Shen Wan said, "Isn't this something we've known for a long time? What's there to be angry about?"
Tu Bai said, "The Yongqing Marquis's Mansion just sent a wedding invitation, inviting the Duke and his wife to attend the wedding banquet."
Shen Wanqi laughed.
Did the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion think that her parents were too good-tempered, or did they think that the Dingguo Duke's Mansion was so poor that they had no food to eat, and yet they were going to attend the wedding of two shameless people who almost killed her eldest sister?
Afraid that Chen Wan would upset her, Chen Yu said, "There's no need to be angry..."
Shen Wan said, “I’m not angry.”
Originally, they had divorced, and the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion should have kept a low profile and kept to himself, but they were always so mean that they even dared to send something like a wedding invitation to the Dingguo Duke's Mansion. If she didn't do something, she would think they were easy to bully.
Chen Wan took Chen Yu for a walk in the garden, and then returned to Mingyue Garden for lunch. The embroiderer came to measure Chen Yu for clothes, and Chen Wan stayed with her the whole time.
After the embroiderer left, Shen Wan returned to the house. Yin Chuan came in carrying some cakes. Shanhu asked, "Did you find out?"
Yin Chuan looked at Chen Wan anxiously, "I didn't find out anything, and I also lost the blueprint..."
Shanhu asked, "Why are you so careless?"
Yin Chuan explained, "I asked every famous jewelry store in Kyoto. When I came out of the Jinyu Pavilion, I happened to see the daughter of the Minister of Personnel's mansion, so I wanted to ask her if she had seen it. But when I chased her, I was accidentally bumped into and lost the blueprint. When I went back to look for it, it was gone..."
Yinchuan's voice was filled with tears. The girl was so good to her, transferring her from the garden to her side and making her the head maid, but she couldn't even do a small thing well.
Knowing that Yinchuan didn't do it on purpose, Shen Wan didn't scold her. Instead, she comforted her, "It's just a drawing. If it's lost, it's lost."
She drew the blueprint herself, so if she lost it, she could just draw another one.
Shen Wan didn't take it to heart.
As a result, the next morning, she was listening to Chen Yu playing the piano in the yard. She was listening attentively when Shanhu's voice came from her room, "Girl! Girl! Come quickly!"
The sound was loud, Shen Yu stopped and looked towards Shen Wan's inner room, "What happened?"
Shanhu had been with Chen Wan for two lifetimes and had never lost her composure like this. Shanhu ran out, looking anxious, "Girl..."
Shen Wan stood up and walked over, "What's wrong?"
Shanhu didn't know how to report it, "Miss, you should go back to your room and take a look."
Chen Wan walked into the room, and Shanhu pulled her towards the desk, on which was placed an exquisite brocade box.
I haven't seen it. It's not hers.
Shen Wan asked, "Where did it come from?"
Shanhu said, "Miss, you should take a look at the things in the brocade box first."
Shen Wan reached out and picked up the brocade box.
Open.
Inside the brocade box was the golden hairpin she was looking for.
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
She quickly looked at Coral, "Who sent it?"
Shanhu shook her head and said, "I didn't know. I saw it as soon as I returned to the house."
If she had known, she wouldn't have been so anxious to call the girl to come and see.
Shen Wan is really going crazy.
She searched all over Kyoto for the owner of the gold hairpin, but no one found out. Now that the hairpin was in her hands, she still didn't know who gave it to her.
She should know who sent it to her.
Zhaolanxuan.
In the study, Xie Jingyu was reading a military book.
Chen Ping walked in and said, "Master, the stuff has been delivered."
"What did she say?" Xie Jingyu asked casually as he flipped the page.
“…”
Chen Ping shook his head.
Xie Jingyu looked up at him, "Not even a thank you?"
Chen Ping said, "Second Miss Shen has been listening to First Miss Shen playing the zither, and her maid hasn't returned to the house. I've been squatting on the tree until my legs are numb. I figured she'd guess it was a gift from you, so I put it on her desk and came back..."
Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Ping, "Are you sure she can guess it was from me?"
Chen Ping said, "Who dares to give Miss Shen something to try to steal your girl? If you are worried, I will go and tell you again."
Xie Jingyu said, "That's not necessary. It's fine as long as the things are in her hands."
