"Huh?" Tao Mingxi was a little puzzled, and before he could react, Yu'er on the side took the initiative to speak very interestingly: "I suddenly remembered that there is another thing I want to say to Xiao Ran, you guys rest first, I'll go out." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the response of the two, he ran out directly.

Only Tao Mingxi and the two were left in the huge room, Zhu'er turned her head to look at the closed door, and then reached out and took out a tight object wrapped in a silk handkerchief on her waist, handed it to Tao Mingxi like some kind of treasure, and said, "Niangniang, this is back to you." ”

Tao Mingxi took it, opened the veil under the signal of the other party's eyes, and a familiar golden hairpin was revealed in front of her, she looked surprised, subconsciously looked up at the other party and asked, "How can this thing be in your hands?" How did you get it back? ”

"This hairpin is of great significance to you and General Song, please remember to put it away, don't lose it again." Zhu'er said with a sincere face, looking at each other with big eyes and a hint of pleading.

Tao Mingxi nodded stunned, he didn't have the heart to care about this hairpin now, and continued to ask: "How did you get it back?" ”

The last time she asked Xiao Ran to take it out, she exchanged it for a lot of silver, even if the hairpin was sold at the price of her income, it was definitely not something that Zhu'er could buy! Moreover, pawnshops are also going to make money, and they will definitely start their prices.

"The slave and maid didn't have much to buy on weekdays, so they saved a lot of silver from the monthly order, and when they passed by the pawnshop during the day, they happened to see that the door inside was open, so they went in and ransomed the hairpin...... After all, after leaving the capital this time, I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in the future! ”

Zhu'er stammered and explained, the reason was that she had thought about it during the day, but now when she said it, she still felt a little weak, and her eyes looked around, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the person in front of her.

"Really?" Tao Mingxi's sharp eyes looked at her, and the scrutiny in it was self-evident, and she didn't believe the other party's words at all after listening to it!

It's light, how can the silver saved in the monthly ritual redeem that hairpin?

"Really, really." Zhu'er's panic in her heart was even worse, but she still nodded calmly, her little face became a little pale, and she stammered a little when she spoke.

"Pearl, it seems that you are not very good at lying!" Tao Mingxi glanced at the other party faintly, his eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "That hairpin should be a total of five hundred taels of silver, and your monthly routine in the palace is only five taels a month, so you have to save for at least seven or eight years before you can have enough money to redeem the hairpin, right?" ”

She didn't care too much about the hairpin, but Xiao Ran came back and told her all about the situation immediately after the order.

"I ......" Zhu'er didn't seem to expect that the hairpin would be so valuable, and couldn't help but stutter a little, and didn't know what to say to argue for a while.

"Tell me honestly, how did you get it back?" Tao Mingxi's face gradually sank, and he looked at the other party with a serious face and asked, with an undoubted meaning in his tone.

She is very grateful for Zhu'er's kindness, but what means did the other party use to help her redeem the hairpin, this must be understood! Her current appearance made Tao Mingxi even more worried.

This girl wouldn't have done anything stupid behind her back, would she?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, and the worry in Tao Mingxi's heart became even worse.

"I ......" Zhu'er still didn't want to say much, but she was afraid that if she didn't say it, Tao Mingxi might really be angry, so she had to say: "I redeemed it with the jade pendant of the family heirloom." ”

"Family heirloom jade pendant?" Tao Mingxi was puzzled, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu'er saw that her face was still not good, thinking that the other party didn't believe her words, and hurriedly explained: "What I said this time is true!" Didn't lie to you. The jade pendant was given to Zhu'er by her mother when she was a child, and she has always worn it on her body since then...... This time I went to redeem the jade pendant, but I didn't have much silver with me, so I simply took that one and exchanged it. ”

She also had a brain fever at the time, although she felt a little pity, but she didn't regret it!

She still remembers the look in General Song's eyes when he gave the hairpin to Tao Mingxi, the friendship between the two is so important, how can she maintain it without working hard?

Even if Tao Mingxi forgets it, she wants to keep it remembered for the other party!

"Why are you so stupid? The hairpin will definitely be able to redeem it in the future, and even if it is bought, it will always be able to get it back, why are you in such a hurry? Tao Mingxi glared at the other party viciously, and while he was a little moved in his heart, he blamed the other party more, and said: "That jade pendant is a family heirloom, it must also have extraordinary significance for you, right?" Now the hairpin is back, but what about your jade pendant? ”

"It's okay." Zhu'er shook her head slowly, raised her head to look at the other party, and showed a relieved smile: "It's a big deal to find another chance to redeem it in the future!" It's just a small jade pendant, and it's already a good result to be able to redeem the mother's hairpin! ”

"Idiot!" Tao Mingxi scolded the other party again, looked down at the hairpin in his hand, and sighed silently.

"Niangniang, Zhu'er knows the meaning of this hairpin to you and General Song, so I can't bear it to wander around, please be sure to put it away in the future!" Zhu'er suddenly straightened her face and said very seriously.

Tao Mingxi had never seen her so serious, and he was a little surprised in his heart, and he was even more curious about that General Song.

What is the relationship between him and the original owner? Why does Pearl value the relationship between the two so much......

“…… Rest assured. Looking at the other party's firm eyes, how could Tao Mingxi say no, even if it wasn't for the things that General Song had done, she would have cherished this hairpin, "It will be well preserved." ”

After all, this is also a piece of the little girl's heart!

The serious expression on Zhu'er's face slackened and showed a heartfelt smile.

"You, don't do such stupid things in the future!" Tao Mingxi reluctantly stretched out his finger and flicked it on the other party's forehead, seeing that the place where she was played became red, and then withdrew his hand with satisfaction: "Also, roughly draw your jade pendant that you should go out, write a letter to Shopkeeper Xue, and ask her to help you redeem it first." ”

"No need to ......" Zhu'er subconsciously refused, "It's just a jade pendant, it's not a big deal......"
