Chapter Eighty-Three: The Old Lady's Golden Hairpin
"I don't mean much to him." Ember Huan interrupted Yun Yao's words, raised his eyes and asked, "What about Pei Xiu Lone?" Has my father returned? Haven't found out about the theft? ”
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The master hasn't returned to the house yet, and the uncle is still locked up." ”
"Oh, then, you go and ask if there is any gold shop nearby, I want to go buy something." Ash Huan casually found a precious pearl hairpin and inserted it in the bun, so he went out for a stroll and had to dress up a little more luxuriously.
"That's Jade Xuan." Yun Yao said excitedly: "Jade Xuan is the largest jewelry store in Beijing, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Let's go, let's see." When Ember Huan got up and walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, "Where is Pei Xiu Lin locked up?" ”
"It's in the side yard." Yun Yao thought that the second lady was going to see the joke, so she led her over with great interest.
Pushing open the courtyard door of the side courtyard, it was overgrown with weeds and a musty smell, Ember Huan frowned and covered his nose and walked in, and saw two family members standing at the door of a room.
Jia Ding saluted to Ember Huan, "I've seen Second Miss." ”
Ember Huan just answered, pushed the door and walked in, and saw Pei Xiu sitting on the ground at a glance, holding a broken bowl in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it, but he had already eaten some.
"That's what you're going to eat?" Ember Huan stepped forward, took the bowl in Pei Xiulin's hand and put it under her nose and smelled it, she choked on the rancid smell and wanted to vomit, "It's all rancid, it will hurt your stomach." ”
Pei Xiu took the bowl back disapplauded, "Second Miss, it's better to eat than to be hungry." ”
Ember Huan frowned, raised his hand to knock off the bowl in his hand, and dragged his arm to walk out, Pei Xiu stopped and said softly: "Second Miss, I am still guilty now, and I can't leave here." ”
"There's a sin for a fart." Ember Huan looked at Pei Xiu's lonely appearance and was very annoyed, "Father hasn't come back yet, you just got an earring turned out, and it's not worth a few dollars, it's so big, I think you have emptied the entire Su Mansion." ”
Ember Huan pulled Pei Xiu Lin and walked out, and the family members watching at the door did not dare to step forward to stop him, and no one dared to offend this little ancestor, so as not to get into trouble and get into trouble.
The carriage was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and Ember Huan pulled him to sit up, seeing that he was still wearing the torn clothes from yesterday, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you still wearing when your clothes are torn?" ”
Pei Xiu replied indifferently: "I don't have any other clothes to wear." ”
Ember Huan was speechless for a while, she didn't know what to say, the days of Pei Xiu's loneliness in the past were really unimaginable, and the current Pei Xiu's silence could not overlap with the one in her memory.
The two are so different.
Silence lingered in the carriage, and no one spoke.
The wheels were rolling, and the carriage soon stopped at the door of Cuiyuxuan, Yun Yao lifted the curtain and reminded softly: "Second Miss, Cuiyuxuan has arrived." ”
Ember Huan glanced at Pei Xiulin, "Let's go, get out of the car with me." With that, he got out of the carriage first.
Before entering the Jade Pavilion, Ember Huan noticed that Pei Xiu was following, and then he was relieved.
Cuiyuxuan is really as Yun Yao said, it is the largest jewelry store in Beijing, the jewelry in it is dazzling, which makes people dazzled, the shopkeeper naturally knows Ember Huan, and stepped forward to greet warmly: "Miss Su Er came at the right time, our store has just bought some new goods, Miss Su Er take a look?" ”
Ember Huan nodded, and was brought into the wing room by the shopkeeper, and as soon as she sat down, the tea cup and pastries were served, which really surprised her.
After sitting for a while and drinking a cup of tea, the shopkeeper entered the room with a plate of jewels with a few workers, and stood side by side in front of him, and the shopkeeper smiled: "Second Miss Su, these are all high-quality goods, specially reserved for Second Miss." ”
Ember Huan stood up and glanced at them one by one, pouted and shook his head: "There are countless of these in my room, don't you have some special objects?" ”
"Special?" The shopkeeper suddenly thought that someone brought jewelry to sell a few days ago, looking at the quality and quality, and it was very new, and he couldn't see anything when he thought about it, so he beckoned someone to take it.
A new batch of jewels was presented, and Ember Huan recognized at a glance a golden hairpin that the old lady had given her among the many jewels, and she glanced at Pei Xiu, who stood up and walked over with interest.
A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Xiu's eyes, and he also recognized this golden hairpin.
Ember Huan's green jade hand clicked on the golden hairpin and smiled: "Just want this, it looks good." As she spoke, she picked up the golden hairpin and handed it to Pei Xiulin, "Help me put it on." ”
Pei Xiu was speechless, raised his hand and inserted the golden hairpin in the most conspicuous place on the bun.
Ember Huan ordered someone to give the money, and instructed the shopkeeper to go to the house to report if there was such a good object, how much she wanted, and the shopkeeper sent the person away with a smile, holding the gold in his hand and laughing.
On the way back, Pei Xiu rarely spoke for the first time, "You already know that the thief will take things to Jade Xuan to sell?" ”
"I didn't know it for a long time." Ember Huan leaned on the soft pillow and replied: "That person stole something and must have gone to exchange for money, and the first place to go is either a pawnshop or a gold shop, thinking that even if the pawnshop buys an object, he will eventually enter the gold shop, so he will go to the gold shop to try his luck." ”
Pei Xiu raised his eyes, the expression in his eyes was obscure, "Why would the second young lady believe that I didn't steal it?" ”
"Because you're not someone who steals." Ember Huan held his chin with his hand, his eyes were serious, "The person you hate the most is me, even if you want to steal something, you should steal me, most of the jewelry in the house has been changed, except for mine." ”
Pei Xiu chuckled lightly because of her words, "Second Miss can see it clearly." ”
"It's not that I understand it, it's that I know you too well." Ember Huan's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Pei Xiulian, why do you hate me?" Just because I forcibly let you enter the mansion and ruined your marriage with Su Yingxue? ”
Ember Huan also learned a thing or two about the previous things through Yun Yao's mouth, the person Pei Xiu Lin liked was Su Yingxue, if it wasn't for that incident being seen, she wouldn't have married Su Ember Huan.
Pei Xiu was silent, even he didn't know it in his own heart, or maybe it was because of Su Yanhuan's harsh treatment after entering the mansion, and the contempt of everyone in the Su Mansion.
"Pei Xiu, with me in the future, no one will dare to bully you anymore." Ember Huan leaned towards Pei Xiu Lin as he spoke, blinking and staring at him with big eyes and smiling, "Then can you stop hating me and try to like me, okay?" ”
Pei Xiu looked at these eyes and lost his mind, his heart moved slightly, and he turned his head away in embarrassment.
