"Hairpin? What kind of hairpin?"

At the entrance of Nuan Pavilion in the backyard of Shen's residence, Ling Jiao looked at Xiaoer in front of her suspiciously, and her eyes fell on the word "Ba" in the middle of her clothes, and then suddenly remembered that the other party had been here two days ago.

Just now there was a rumor from the concierge that the second child of Babao Pavilion asked to see the young master, saying that a hairpin was delivered by mistake.

"We sent the hairpin by mistake. In fact, it was not for Young Master Shen. Mr. Xu said that this was the negligence of Babao Pavilion. Next time Young Master Shen goes to the store, he will definitely give discounts and compensation."

Xiao Er broke out in a sweat, pulled his sleeve to wipe it off, and spoke very cautiously.

This still caused dissatisfaction with water chestnut.

"There's no reason to go back the hairpin you gave away, she Shiqing is too stingy!" Lingjiao said angrily, "Who is our young master, our Shen family still lacks a hairpin!"

The two families just divorced yesterday, and Shi Qing is going to come to the hairpin today. This is because they want to return the things they gave away when the marriage fails.

What excuses are you looking for to collude with Babao Pavilion and say that it was delivered by mistake.

Pooh!

"Fortunately, the young master has divorced her. Such a stingy, caring woman is not worthy of our young master!"

His face turned red with water chestnut anger, not only Shi Qing would be ashamed when the news got out, even his young master would be criticized. Shi Qing has a thick skin and doesn't care, but his young master can't be shameless.

Xiao Er bowed her head and did not dare to refute, with a troubled look on her face, "Master Shi is still waiting for her hairpin in the store..."

Judging by that posture, I'm afraid he won't let it go.

Xiaoer doesn't care if Lingjiao is angry or not, what she cares about is whether she can get the hairpin back.

"Then let her wait—" Shi Qing was stopped when Ling Jiao was about to curse.

Qing Lingling's voice came from the Nuan Pavilion, crisp and cool like jade stones colliding.

"Lingjiao, go get the hairpin and hand it back to Xiao Er."

Water chestnut stomped, "Master!"

He waited for a few moments, and seeing that there were no other voices coming from the warm pavilion, he reluctantly turned around to get something.

In the Warm Pavilion, wearing a silver-white winter robe, Sullen stood in front of the desk and looked down at the green bamboo on the paper.

In fact, when the hairpin was delivered the day before yesterday, Shen Yu had no intention of taking it back. His marriage with Shi Qing was just a word of mouth from his mother back then, and it was not true.

It was only after Lingjiao opened the box that he hesitated a little.

The white jade hairpin placed on the red velvet base cloth has a warm luster. Against the red background, it looks as soft as white jade oil. The lotus flower carved on the head of the hairpin is even more lifelike and fragrant.

But what Shen Yu likes is not that the hairpin is a treasure, but the meaning contained in it.

Young master Ruyu has a character like a lotus, he thought for a moment that Shi Qing understood him, so he didn't refuse.

Just like my father said, if you can't be a husband and wife, you can be a sibling.

Never expected, just sent the wrong one.

The ink from the tip of the pen dripped onto the drawing paper in front of him, creating a dot of ink that was out of place.

Shen Yu put down the pen, rolled up the green bamboo picture and put it in the wastebasket, took out another piece of paper and spread it out on the desk.

"Here!" The water chestnut had already returned from the outside, and stuffed the box into Xiaoer's arms in a very aggressive tone.

Xiaoer smiled and hugged the box tightly to express his thanks again and again.

"Tell Shi Qing that I have only opened this hairpin to see it, but never tried it on." A gloomy voice came from the warm pavilion, and it was clear that no emotion could be heard.

He never took out the hairpin, so Shi Qing can still give it away.

Xiao Er doesn't understand the meaning of the words, Shi Qing should understand.

Of course Shi Qing understands!

Not only does she understand hairpins, but she also knows how to make up for losses for herself.

"I took a good hairpin and you gave it to someone else. When you get it back, it's second-hand. Don't you want to give me some compensation?"

Shi Qing kowtowed the melon seeds and looked at Guan Shi with the end of his eyes.

"..."

Manager Xu stopped flipping through the ledger, his eyelids twitched, and said hesitantly, "My lord, there is no such precedent in our store."

"No… "

Shi Qing patted the crumbs of melon seeds on the palm of his hand, walked over and lay down on the counter and said to Mr. Xu, "There are now."

Someone has to be the first to do this, and Shi Qing doesn't mind wronging himself, being the first to eat crabs.

"I'm not an unreasonable person, so you can just look at freeing the workmanship of the hairpin."

Director Xu took a deep breath, "You are already unreasonable. The lotus hairpin is exquisitely made, and the manual fee alone costs thirty taels of silver. It is impossible to avoid it."

"Since you say I'm unreasonable—"

Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll reason with you."

She leaned against the cabinet and broke her fingers, "I'm only seventeen years old this year, and I was selected by the Tanhua at a young age. My future is bound to be limitless, right?"

Manager Xu looked at her warily.

Shi Qing smiled with pure kindness on his face, "After I become an official in the court, if I mention to my colleagues about the wrong hairpin delivered by Babao Pavilion, will it affect the reputation of your shop?"

"I'm not good at anything else, I just like to chat with people. Don't worry, when the time comes, if there is a civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty who doesn't know about this matter, I will not be able to do it."

Although she won't live long, her cakes can be drawn very big.

People can die, but they cannot suffer losses.

"..."

This is already a blatant threat.

Director Xu looked at Shi Qing silently, and gently reminded, "My lord, it is impossible for our store to grow big in the capital without any background. How about giving each other face?"

Shi Qing pondered, with a sincere tone, "Do you think I am a person who cares about face?"

… You are not, you are the one asking for money.

Shi Qing is not even afraid of offending the Shen family, but afraid of losing face

As for the hairpin, the eldest prince will have to blame her sooner or later.

Shi Qingniao didn't care about him, and gave him a look too much.

If the eldest prince clung to her and Shi Qing dared to see him, he didn't know if he would dare to see her at night.

Director Xu closed his eyes, she really had nothing to do with Shi Qing. Shi Qing herself is Xinke Tanhua, the new darling in front of the emperor, and her mother is even more difficult. Once Shi Qing himself is shameless, he is simply useless.

The most important thing is that she has a reason for this matter.

Seeing that Xu Zhangshi had figured it out, Shi Qing stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder in relief, "Be generous, and take it as a lesson."

Director Xu's shoulders were heavy, and he raised his eyes to look at her, as if meeting Shi Qing for the first time.

When she passed the Tanhua exam two days ago, everyone was discussing, saying that Shi Qing was an ordinary person, and she had never seen her show her talents before, so why did she win the Tanhua silently

After all, compared with this year's new champion Chang Shu, Shi Qing is really inconspicuous.

Looking back at Shi Qing now, Director Xu actually felt that if such a person was serious, he would be a champion.

She's just a—

rogue!

She is simply an ordinary robber, who said that she is low-key, fearful and good-natured, could she be blind!

Which of the above words can she relate to

Shi Qing was not really a "hooligan". She walked towards the new product and stopped in front of a golden hairpin.

Manager Xu slammed the opened box back on with a snap, and shook his head like he was guarding against a thief, "It's the bottom line to get rid of the manual fee for hairpins, and this really can't be given anymore."

Just be yourself.

Have a little face, okay

Shi Qing clicked his tongue, "It's not that I don't give money, what kind of person do you take me for?"

... We didn't dare to treat you as a human being.

When Master Xu heard that he meant to buy it, he carefully opened the box, "There is only one hairpin in the whole world, and everyone says gold is gaudy, so you haven't met the right person."

This hairpin has complex and gorgeous patterns, it is really beautiful, but it is also really difficult to control. Anyone who looks dull will feel tacky wearing it.

But her father was different.

Shi Qing's appearance is 60% similar to her father Li's, they are both bright and beautiful. Only such a flamboyant temperament can suppress the vulgarity of gold and highlight the beauty of gold hairpins.

"Just this one, I bought it." Shi Qing was originally afraid that the old man would pick on his father's faults, so he wanted to order a low-key jade hairpin.

Now think about it, he's a fart!

When going out from Babao Pavilion, Mihe was holding two boxes and half a pack of melon seeds in his hand.

Shi Qing felt that Babaoge melon seeds tasted good, so he ordered some by the way. Manager Xu was also generous, and personally took her to the door with melon seeds, and said politely, "You go."

For fear of delaying her business.

What a surprise.

When returning the same way, Shi Qing went out of his way to find the stall just now, but he couldn't find it.

"Assuming he runs fast."

Shi Qing was not in a hurry to go back, but went to several places and bought a big item.

Until Yehe from the mansion ran over panting, and said to Shi Qing, "Little master, the lord and the master came back early, and we are letting you go."

Shi Qing looked out at the sky with his head, wondering, "Isn't it still noon? Why did my parents return home early?"

In the past, when I went to the temple to offer incense, I would not come back until late in the evening.

"It was the old man who sent someone to call." Ye He said, "The old man was very angry, saying that you had lost your mind and not only contradicted him, but even wanted to marry the young master of the Yun family."

Now the whole government is spreading the rumor that Shiqing couldn't accept it for a while after being divorced, and became insane.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she woke up like a different person.

The time is clear.

The old man wanted her mother to treat her.

To tell if there is anyone in Shiqing who is afraid—

That's true, it's her mother Shiju.

In front of her, Shi Qing always felt guilty and uneasy, as if the other party could see through that he was not the original owner, but for some reason he never found out.

The feeling of being pinched by someone's pigtails is the reason why Shi Qing kept a low profile for so many years.

"Then go back first." Shi Qing turned his head and said to the clerk in the shop, "I'll send the things to me after it's dark, and I just want the one I liked just now, so don't send it by mistake."

"okay."

Yehe saw it just now, but he didn't dare to ask.

She twisted her neck stiffly and looked back at the rows of coffins filled with human beings. Her heart trembled with fright and her hands and feet were cold, so she quickly turned her head back.

What is the little master going to the coffin and shroud shop for

Although the old man is not likable, he is not guilty of death.

Shi Qing didn't know what Ye He was thinking, she had already made clear about her affairs behind her, she chose the most spacious and beautiful coffin, and the shroud was a solid color without patterns.

After marrying Yunzhi, let him start embroidery.

Don't want other styles, just embroider the peony that he is good at.

After returning home, Shi Qing took a deep breath and stepped into his parents' yard.

No matter what her mother said, Yun Zhi was determined to marry herself.

She and her embroiderer, apart from life and death, no one can be separated!

The author has something to say:

Yun Shaoxia: This is a bit embarrassing, mainly because... I don’t know how to embroider

Shi Qing: Don’t be humble, you can definitely do it

Yun Shaoxia: I really can’t

Servant: Spread the word, the young master says he can't do it!
