Chapter 1933 Special Hairpin
Chapter 1933 Special Hairpin
Seeing that she finally stopped making trouble, Wan Shufang felt relieved. A smile appeared on her little face, as warm and unrestrained as the spring breeze in March.
"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."
"Let's go. Let's find an inn to stay first." Chen Changli took Wan Shufang's hand and walked in front. Because of the dispute just now, Qian Er was scared away.
Now they could only find an inn by themselves. After coming out of the teahouse, the two of them strolled slowly along the way looking for an inn, and finally saw an inn three miles away from the teahouse.
The three of them walked in. The waiter was not surprised and just arranged the room for them quietly.
The atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little awkward. Wan Shufang coughed lightly and was about to say something when the waiter, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Dear guests, the room is on the far left of the second floor. The banquet will start in two days. You can look around on your own first."
He looked calm and spoke in a flat tone, and his whole body exuded a kind of deathly aura, which made people inexplicably scared. Minghe subconsciously grabbed Wan Shufang's hand.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang patted her soothingly and wanted to say something, but when she saw the waiter's expressionless face, she ended up saying nothing.
The three of them went upstairs and put their things away. Wan Shufang looked outside and raised her eyebrows: "I want to go out for a walk. Minghe, do you want to go with me?"
"You two can go by yourselves. I won't go. I feel a little tired and want to sleep for a while." Minghe stretched, with a little fatigue in his eyes.
She hadn't had a rest since she entered Bhikkhu City, and her whole body had been tense. Now that she finally had some free time, Minghe just wanted to have a good sleep.
Seeing the fatigue in her eyes, Wan Shufang did not persuade her much. She just gave her a few words of advice, then she and Chen Changli walked out of the inn hand in hand. Minghe also returned to her room to rest.
On the street, Wan Shufang looked at a lot of new and interesting things with more interest in her eyes.
"This trip wasn't in vain." As she spoke, Wan Shufang's eyes lit up, and her gaze was attracted by a shiny object not far away. She pulled Chen Changli and trotted over: "Chen Changli, let's go take a look at that."
When I ran to the stall, I could see clearly what was on it. They were some exquisite head ornaments with sparkling gems on them, which were very eye-catching.
"I didn't expect that even a stall in Bhikkhu City would be so luxurious, full of gems."
Wan Shufang opened her mouth slightly, her eyes unable to conceal shock, and reached out to gently touch the headgear.
The stall owner looked indifferent, pointing at a set of headgear on the stall: "You can try it on, I think this set is very suitable for this lady."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang happily picked it up and asked Chen Changli to put it on her. The ruby-red hairpin made Wan Shufang's skin look even more white and her face more rosy, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even though the two had been married for several years and their children were grown up, Chen Changli still felt moved by her and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Madam, your face is still as beautiful as ever, and it's pleasing to the eyes."
"Chen Changli, you are always making fun of me." Wan Shufang rolled her eyes, took off the headdress and asked the boss to pack it up.
After Chen Changli gave the silver, the two continued to stroll forward. Wan Shufang was very interested in these novel things in Biqiu City and bought a lot of them at once.
When passing by another stall, the boss looked at the large and small bags in Chen Changli's hands and couldn't help but remind him: "You two are outsiders, right? There will be more good things at the banquet in two days, so you can buy them then."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was slightly stunned. When she realized that the boss had been looking at what they bought, she realized what this meant.
Wan Shufang's eyes flickered and she looked at the boss again. It was an elderly woman who was setting up a stall selling hairpins. Wan Shufang had already bought quite a few hairpins just now, but she was still choosing carefully at this moment.
She chose one and handed it to the old woman: "Old lady, I want this hairpin. Thank you for reminding me. I will not buy any more after I buy this one."
Hearing this, the old man didn't say much and silently took the money. Wan Shufang also took Chen Changli away. Not long after they walked, she turned around and looked over.
But they happened to run into the old lady who was also looking at them. That look always made people feel indescribable weirdness. Wan Shufang turned her head and her face became serious.
Along the way, she didn't say much, just thinking about the old woman's last look.
When they arrived at the inn, it was already late. Minghe had taken a nap and was eating when he saw Chen Changli and Wan Shufang coming back with a lot of things. He raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "You two are really carefree. The situation is not optimistic right now, and you still have the leisure to go shopping."
"Since you are here, just make the best of it. There's no use getting anxious. This is a gift for you, so just relax." Wan Shufang handed the hairpin to Minghe with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Minghe glanced at her, but didn't say much. She just took the hairpin and her eyes fell on the carving on the hairpin. She frowned suddenly.
"This hairpin..." Minghe was so excited that she stood up suddenly, which scared Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, and they looked at her in confusion.
Minghe stared at the hairpin, examining it over and over for a long time. As if she had confirmed something, her face changed drastically: "Wan Shufang, where did you buy this hairpin?"
Seeing that Minghe was obviously not right, Wan Shufang became even more confused, but still told him: "It's at a small stall. Go out of the inn and walk south, almost to the end..."
Before she finished her words, a figure rushed out. When Wan Shufang realized that it was Minghe, she subconsciously held Chen Changli's hand tightly: "Changli, is there something wrong with the hairpin?"
"I don't know yet. An Qi, follow them and ensure Miss Minghe's safety."
Chen Changli gave the order, and soon a black shadow flashed out and disappeared into the night. After An Qi left, Wan Shufang looked worried. When she thought of Minghe's performance just now, her heart was uneasy.
"Changli..."
Seeing that Wan Shufang was worried, Chen Changli reached out, took her into his arms, patted her back and consoled her: "It's okay, with An Qi here, nothing will happen to her. The rest can be dealt with after she comes back."
His voice seemed to have some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Wan Shufang's panicked heart. Thinking of the old woman's strange look, she looked forward to Minghe's return even more so that she could ask him clearly.
But Minghe did not return until after dinner. She still held the hairpin tightly in her hand and walked into the inn with a distraught look on her face.
Wan Shufang had been waiting there, and when she saw Minghe coming back, she immediately went to greet him.
"Minghe, what's wrong?" Wan Shufang asked, but Minghe seemed to have suffered a blow. He just looked at Wan Shufang without saying a word, and even his eyes were red.
An Qi followed behind and shook his head at Chen Changli.
"Minghe, but what's the problem with this hairpin? Tell us so that we can work together to find a solution."
