Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Gifting You a White Jade Hairpin

It was not until Nan Feng reached the door that the Innkeeper slapped his thigh, "She, she... isn’t she the wife of General Nangong? She came here before with General Nangong when he had yet to go to war. They stayed here for several days, and our Inn became even more famous. The food that General Nangong Ye had eaten here became the must-order dishes for visitors. How could I have forgotten this?"

"But the Lady said she had never been here before," the attendant replied.

"Perhaps she doesn’t want to be recognized, seeing that she’s now with another man, there must be some secret," the Innkeeper speculated.

"It’s also possible that we’re mistaken," the attendant suggested.

"Right, it’s no use discussing this since she’s already gone. The table over there is ready to pay their bill; go take care of it," the Innkeeper said.

"Alrighty," the attendant responded.

...

After Nan Feng had her fill, seeing that the street was still bustling, she casually strolled around and eventually came to a row of jewelry stalls.

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Lie hurriedly came forward to ask, "Do you see anything you like? If you do, I can give it to you as a gift."

Nan Feng instantly smiled, "No need for you to give me a gift, I can buy it myself."

She was holding a hairpin, made of white jade; for some reason, she took an instant liking to it.

"It’s especially meaningful if I give it to you. When you wear this jewelry, you should be able to think of me," Tuoba Lie said. And with that, he quickly grabbed the hairpin from Nan Feng’s hand, affixed it to her hair, and then said with a smile, "Look, how beautiful."

The Stall Owner also took out a mirror for Nan Feng to have a look, "Lady, your husband has great taste. This hairpin is very popular. We’re just street vendors, but this hairpin was made by a master craftsman outside the city. All the ladies and wives who pass by love it. There’s only one left now. Look at the texture, isn’t it particularly translucent?"

Nan Feng nodded, "How much for one?"

"Not expensive, just two taels of silver," the Stall Owner replied.

Nan Feng was about to haggle, but Tuoba Lie promptly handed over the silver, "Here, keep the change."

"Thank you, young master."

Nan Feng liked the hairpin but did not want to owe a favor to Tuoba Lie. She thought about repaying him, but then reasoned that since her arrival in this time, she’d been relying on his food and shelter; to make a fuss over the cost of a hairpin would be too pretentious.

Seeing that Nan Feng had not refused his gift, Tuoba Lie appeared very pleased, and couldn’t help musing as they walked along, "When you weren’t wearing this hairpin, you were like a fairy. Now that you wear it, you resemble the Queen Mother of the West."

"Have you no culture? Do you know how old the Queen Mother of the West is?" Nan Feng retorted.

"As long as it’s noble, who cares if she’s old? But then again, how do you know how to style your hair like this? This hairstyle looks quite complicated to do. Could it be that you truly have nimble fingers? That you know it at a glance?"

Nan Feng too was puzzled; as soon as she let her hair down, a hairstyle image would appear in her mind, and she naturally wound her hair up. So she replied, "I feel that the original owner of this body must have been of Dajin, been to the Capital City, married, and possibly even been to the Imperial Palace."

"Married?" Tuoba Lie suddenly became anxious, "If that’s the case, then we need to get married soon. Do you understand? The original owner’s feelings can influence your judgment now. What if you start thinking about the original owner’s husband later on?"
