Chapter 90: Déjà vu
Xiahou Ying took out the jade pendant that caught her attention from the brocade box, and looked at it carefully by the light, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this jade pendant seemed familiar.
"Huh? How come you haven't seen this jade pendant? Is it a mistake? Mama Lan said strangely while looking at the jade pendant.
"How is that possible!" Xue'er argued loudly, "I clearly remember the last time Miss fell into the water and was carried back, this jade pendant was in Miss Miss's arms, and I took it out with my own hands. But then this jade pendant disappeared, and now it seems that it must have been stolen by that Dongmei again! Cher said with disdain.
Hearing the word "falling into the water", Xia Houying's heart suddenly tightened. Only then did she suddenly remember where she had seen this jade pendant, it was in a dream! She had seen this jade pendant in her dreams!
Xiahou Ying looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, but there was a little more inexplicable inquiry in her eyes.
Listening to Mama Lan's meaning, this jade pendant doesn't seem to be Lu Wanxin's, but if it's not hers, why is it on her? Why did she let herself see this jade pendant in the way of "dreaming"? All of the above made Xiahou Ying think deeply.
Don't...... What secrets are contained in this jade pendant?
Xiahou Ying lowered her head again and took a serious look at the jade pendant. The jade quality is delicate and transparent, the pattern is exquisite, and the carving is exquisite. No matter how you look at it, it is a good product, and even in the Guogong Mansion, you may not be able to pick out a few pieces of such beautiful jade.
This jade pendant doesn't look like an ordinary folk thing, but more like a royal tribute...... But how did Lu Wanxin get this royal thing? This question really puzzled Xiahou Ying.
Picked up? It's not impossible. If this jade pendant was obtained by Lu Wanxin on the day she fell into the water, it was the Lantern Festival at that time, and there were indeed many young ladies and sons of princes and nobles in the market. But...... If it was just picked up, what about that dream?
Seeing Xiahou Ying looking at the jade pendant, Mama Lan and Xue'er were strange, so they couldn't help but go up and take a look. However, after knocking for a long time, the two of them couldn't see anything wrong with this jade pendant.
"Miss?" Xue'er called to Xiahou Ying softly.
"Huh?" Xia Houying suddenly came back to her senses, and found that she was so obsessed with thinking that she completely forgot everything about the outside world, and couldn't help but laugh a little.
"It's not too early, pack up, and you guys should go to rest early." Xiahou Ying smiled at the two of them, holding Yu Pei's hand, but secretly tightened.
If this jade pendant is really a royal thing, then it seems that he has another purpose when he arrives at the academy - to find out who the owner of the jade pendant is!
============
Three days later, Luming Academy officially opened.
In order not to let Lu Liangju know about the difficult situation of "Lu Wanxin" in the academy, Xiahou Ying refused Lu Liangju's request to send her to the academy in person, just like when she took the exam, and only let the coachman send her to the academy.
According to the rules of Luming Academy, students should cut off all contact with the outside world and concentrate on their studies. Therefore, once a student enters the college, whether it is luggage or bookcase, he can only rely on himself.
However, despite the regulations, in a place like Luming Academy, those young masters and young ladies who are used to enjoying themselves also have a way to solve this problem. For example, calling or spending money to hire students from poor backgrounds to carry their luggage for themselves.
However, Xia Houying naturally didn't have this "spare money" to hire people, so she could only slowly carry the salute up the long steps by herself.
"The academy is important, and relatives and friends stop." A reluctant voice came from not far away, attracting Xiahou Ying's attention.
