Seeing that Ye Hanyue had learned Hou Haoyan's appearance at that time, Shu Qingci glared at her with a smile and annoyance, "You are so indecent, you know to make fun of me about this!" After that, his face couldn't help but be a little ruddy.

Ye Hanyue saw it in her eyes, and her heart was happy, secretly thinking that this Hou Haoyan must still have a place in the young lady's heart.

After a few more words with the young lady, Shu Qingci Xu was reading what Ye Hanyue had joked about herself, and her face was still a little unnatural. No, he urged her to go back to her room to rest. Ye Hanyue giggled and quarreled with her for a while, and then left.

When Hou Haoyan was returning to the General's Mansion, Qing Ze, who was inquiring about the news, also returned. He leaned forward and whispered to Hou Haoyan: "Master, this jade pendant was obtained by the maid who won the competition a few days ago, and said that it was given to her by the old bustard Mei Niang of Fengxue Building, as for the details, I can't check it anymore." ”

"Competition?" Hou Haoyan looked out the window, and his eyes fell on the laurel in the courtyard.

"It's a little competition after the Oiran wins." Aosawa explained.

Hou Haoyan turned around thoughtfully and stared at the person in front of him. "If it's just a competition in the Wind and Snow Building, it shouldn't be possible to take out this jade pendant as a gift." He seemed to be muttering to himself, and he seemed to be talking to Qing Ze in front of him. However, Qing Ze was also puzzled, and all he could hear was this. Hou Haoyan became more and more puzzled in his heart, how could he pursue it to no avail, so he had to give up.

Ye Hanyue was thinking about the jade pendant, and she was still sleepy, but now she was sleepless. I was just thinking about where the jade pendant had gone. Although she didn't know the value of the jade pendant, if she picked it up for someone who cared about it, she always felt bad in her heart.

She made herself a cup of tea, and used the coolness of the tea to relieve her messy thoughts. This jade pendant was still there yesterday, and it must have fallen today. It cannot be ruled out that when you go to the street, you bump into passers-by and bump into each other, and you hit it for a while, the most likely thing is ......

Come to think of it. A string in Ye Hanyue's brain was suddenly crushed. She suddenly remembered that she had accidentally knocked on the rosewood table during the day, and she was in a hurry to leave, so she turned around and left without paying attention for a while. Come to think of it, the jade pendant must have fallen at that time.

With a conclusion in her heart, Ye Hanyue slept with peace of mind. Thinking about it, let's find a reason to go out again tomorrow, I hope the jade pendant is still there.

The next day, knowing that Shu Qingci didn't like to go out of the house again, Ye Hanyue deliberately mentioned to Shu Qingci that there was a shop on Zijin Street where the cloth was very good, and wanted to take her to see it. Shu Qingci was thinking about making cloth for new clothes, but he couldn't raise the interest of going out for a walk. Seeing this, Ye Hanyue hurriedly said: "Miss, the weather has been hot in recent days, and if Miss goes out of the house for a few days in a row, I'm afraid she will hurt her body." In this case, why don't you leave this drudgery to Satsuki, who promises to carry the cloth that satisfies the young lady. ”

Shu Qingci knew that Ye Hanyue had a playful mind, so she also let her go. "That's fine, you have to be vigilant yourself, don't get heat stroke."

Shu Qingci gave another lot of advice, Ye Hanyue listened to them one by one, and then took some Ziyin and Liang out of the house happily.

In a blink of an eye, she came to the teahouse called "Yashe", and Ye Hanyue was about to climb the stairs to go up to the private room yesterday with her memory, but she was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Girl, this private room is specially arranged for distinguished guests, if there is no reply from this private guest, the girl is afraid that she will not be able to enter, please forgive me." The shopkeeper explained truthfully with an apologetic face.

Ye Hanyue had no choice but to stop, looked at him and said, "Shopkeeper, I came here yesterday." I wonder if this guest is here today? If he is here, you will inform me on my behalf, and say that the girl who had a relationship with him yesterday asked to see him. Knowing that there are rules everywhere, Ye Hanyue took a step back and said slowly.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Today's distinguished guest has not come, forgive me, I can't be the master and let the girl in." You can only wait for him to come before you can make a decision. ”

Ye Hanyue's phoenix eyes froze for a moment, and then asked him, "Shopkeeper, let the little woman take the liberty of asking, do you know when this distinguished guest will come?" The little woman had something important to look for him. ”

"This guest comes here from time to time, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, and at no fixed hour. The girl asked this, and it was also difficult for me. The shopkeeper said, Ye Hanyue didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so he had to give up. The shopkeeper saw that her face was worried, and he couldn't bear it, so he said more, "In recent days, distinguished guests have come here very frequently, if the girl is in a hurry, it is better to stay in the teahouse for a while, maybe he will come later." ”

Ye Hanyue nodded, thanked the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper had something to do, so he turned around and went down. And Ye Hanyue also followed, found a place everywhere to sip the tea in front of her, and sighed. She is not the roundworm in Hou Haoyan's stomach, how do you know if he will come over today and when he will come. If he doesn't come today, won't she run for nothing?

The hardest thing is waiting, Ye Hanyue drank all the tea in the cup, and she suddenly remembered that there was a deep alley behind this teahouse. Ye Hanyue had a plan, paid the silver taels and turned around and went out.

Ye Hanyue hid her eyes and ears all the way, and came to the depths of the alley in a circle. With her memory and the direction at that time, Ye Hanyue settled somewhere. The second floor was not very high, and she glanced at it, took a deep breath, and crawled up with her hands and feet, and it took some effort to get into the private room by taking advantage of the rough surface.

Ye Hanyue turned over to the carved wooden chair in front of the window, carefully looked at the layout in front of her, and when she was sure that she was entering the private room yesterday, she was relieved and began a carpet search.

She first looked for it from the red sandalwood, but the stone blue marble was shiny, and there was not even a trace of dust, and she had never seen the jade pendant she was thinking about.

Ye Hanyue was a little deflated in her heart, but she finally climbed up for a trip, and she didn't want to return in vain. She then rummaged inside and outside the private room, but to no avail, she was sad in her heart, thinking that she would be able to find this jade pendant when she left the house today, but she went back empty-handed.

Since she couldn't find the jade pendant, Ye Hanyue knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she decided to continue to climb the window and go down, so as not to suddenly break in and not be able to explain it for a while.

This window is quite high, and Ye Hanyue didn't feel it when she fell down, and now she is holding the eaves with both hands, and her hands are exerting force, but she just doesn't have the courage to climb up. She sighed, and was about to take the seat next to her to cushion her feet, but she heard a movement outside, she was stunned at first, and then stretched her ears to listen, and faintly felt that it was Hou Haoyan's voice. She couldn't help but be shocked, it was not possible to climb or hide at this time, Ye Hanyue was almost so frightened that she jumped out of the window directly.

In a panic, her body tilted against the seat next to her, making a "creaking" sound, and her heart was cold, and she was stunned in place for a moment.

Hou Haoyan, who was at the door, heard the movement inside, and glanced at Qing Ze on his side. Qing Ze's eyes became gloomy, and he subconsciously pressed on the sword at his waist with one hand. I was about to step forward and push the door open, but the shopkeeper came over.

Hou Haoyan glanced at him, Qing Ze retracted the anger on his face, and smiled faintly, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "I'm here to talk to you, just a girl in purple came here to see the two of you, this private room is not easy to enter, so I asked her to wait downstairs." But seeing the two distinguished guests coming here, in a blink of an eye, the girl was gone. ”

"The girl in purple?" Qing Ze wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the master beside him, and then asked him, "Has she ever explained her identity to you, but why did she come here?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, then shook his head and said, "The girl just said that she had met with the two of you in this private room yesterday, and when I asked what it was, she only said that it was important." I don't want to ask too much. ”

Hou Haoyan nodded thoughtfully, "I know, the shopkeeper should take care of the business." The shopkeeper responded, turned and left. Qing Ze beside him asked more, "Master, isn't it the little moon girl who fell into the jade pendant yesterday?" Thinking that if Ye Hanyue found that the jade pendant on her body was missing, she would indeed find this place in a panic. After all, the meaning of the jade pendant is different, and it is also extremely important to this girl.

"It's her." Hou Haoyan smiled, Qing Ze took a step forward, pushed the door in, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the seat that had been moved. On second look, a boxy sandalwood table was decorated with a light-colored tablecloth, and at the end of the table there was a faint hint of lilac. From a distance, it really contradicts the green tablecloth.

Qing Ze was about to walk over quickly to find out the man, but Hou Haoyan stopped him, laughing, but shook his head. Qing Ze knew in his heart, and the shopkeeper mentioned that Miss Xiaoyue was wearing a purple dress, presumably this person was a good girl.

Hou Haoyan's eyes swept slightly at the end of the table, and then he quickly sat down next to the coffee table, deliberately bringing out a big movement. The friction between the seat and the ground makes a very sharp sound, which pierces people's eardrums. Hou Haoyan laughed, but Ye Hanyue under the tablecloth was not happy, she covered her ears with her hands, and looked at the hem of the coat faintly in front of her with a painful face, she couldn't regret it, she knew that she was hiding here and suffering, she might as well jump from the window.

Hou Haoyan made himself a cup of tea, took a sip slightly, and said to Qing Ze: "Qing Ze, I seem to be a little hungry, you can go and bring some pastries." ”

"Yes." Qing Ze quietly retreated, and for a while Ye Hanyue just sat quietly on the cold ground, silently listening to Hou Haoyan's tea.
