After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

The ancestral hall is quiet.

Jiang Suihan read the scriptures for a while, and couldn't sit still. He paced to the altar where the tablet was enshrined, "You said that you have turned Nanfu upside down all these years, why still can't find the token of Tianshu? A piece of order At any rate, the card can be as big as a palm, so it can't disappear out of thin air, right?"

Xiao Yi ignored him.

Jiang Suihan suddenly said "Huh".

He picked up a copper coin placed in the center of the altar, "Businessmen are also very particular, and they actually offer copper coins in the ancestral hall! I think they should offer gold ingots. Isn't gold ingots more profitable than copper coins?"

He chattered a lot before throwing the copper coin back to its original place.

The copper coin is delicate and simple, with "Prosperous Dayong" engraved on the front and "Gold and Jade Mantang" engraved on the back.

It lay quietly on the altar, neither Jiang Suihan nor Xiao Yi took it to heart.

...

A night of rain and wind.

When Nan Baoyi woke up in the morning, he saw that the trees outside the window had withered a little more.

He Ye held the jacket and said with a smile: "The weather is getting colder, those light gauze skirts can no longer be worn, miss should change into a thicker jacket."

Nan Baoyi dressed up, and walked along the vermilion lacquer corridor with He Ye to the flower hall, going to pay her respects to the old lady.

Halfway there, I saw that the sky was dim, and there was another patter of autumn rain falling in the garden.

He Ye said: "Hong'er came over two days ago and said that Nan Yan's cough has worsened again. The servant is thinking about the reason for the change of seasons. Miss, you wait here, and the servant will get you a cloak when I go back to the house. The day after tomorrow On the Double Ninth Festival, it won’t be beautiful if you get wind and cold like Nan Yan.”

Nan Baoyi watched her hurry back with a gloomy face.

It has been seven or eight days since she moved to Songheyuan, but the second elder brother didn't even show a single face.

She asked someone to send a message and steamed cakes to the military camp, but she didn't see any sign from him.

Is the second brother despising her?

As she pondered, she saw with sharp eyes that on the bluestone brick road in the distance, a young man in black and black, holding a white paper umbrella, was walking outside the Songhe Courtyard, probably just after greeting his grandmother.

"Second brother?" She was surprised, "He came back from the military camp?"

He came back from the barracks,

But he refused to see her.

Could it be because of Mrs. Xia's gossip that bothered him?

That's right, he must have thought that she had an undue affection for him, that's why he hinted that his grandmother asked her to move out of Chaowenyuan, and that's why he avoided seeing her for so many days!

She had to explain it clearly!

Disregarding everyone's ladylike etiquette, she flipped over the veranda railing and ran towards Xiao Yi with the corner of her skirt in her hand: "Second brother!"

Xiao Yi's body froze slightly.

Panting, Nan Baoyi ran behind him, looked up at his tall and tall back, and said loudly: "Second brother, the heavens can learn from you, I have absolutely no love for you! Don't get me wrong!"

Xiao Yi's big palm holding the handle of the umbrella tightened slightly.

It is raining outside, and the garden is pattering.

Rainwater spread along the gaps between the bluestone bricks, soaking Nan Baoyi's embroidered shoes.

She wiped the fine raindrops from her face, and continued: "Second elder brother is an upright man. I have admiration for you, respect and love, and admiration for you, but I will never give birth to a child. If you give Second brother caused trouble, Jiaojiao will apologize to you!"

She bent her knees and gave a standard Wanfu salute.

Xiao Yi turned around slowly.

The little girl who came into view was delicate and pretty, like a hibiscus raised in a deep boudoir.

She looked honest, and she was obviously speaking the truth.

He was once curious about what kind of thoughts Nan Jiaojiao had towards him...

But now it seems that he would rather not know.

After a long silence, with a serious and deep expression, he still asked unrelentingly: "A little bit of admiration, isn't there?"

Nan Baoyi felt it was time to prove his innocence.

She straightened up and excitedly raised her three fingers to the sky: "Facing the sky above, facing the ground below, I, Nan Baoyi, swear, I have absolutely no thought for my second brother that I shouldn't have! Not in the past, not now, in the future—— "

"Shut up!" Xiao Yi snapped.

Nan Baoyi shut up.

Why does it seem like the second brother doesn't want her to swear?

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then said coldly: "You don't speak strange words, you just have a clear conscience, you don't need to use oaths to prove your innocence."

Nan Baoyi wiped the rainwater movedly, "Second brother, you are so considerate of me, you are really a rare good brother in the world!"

Autumn rains are getting stronger.

She stood in the rain, and the raindrops splashed the skirt of Xiangfei color, smearing the dark color of Tumi.

Xiao Yi was afraid that she would faint again, so he silently handed the paper umbrella in front of her.

Nan Baoyi didn't answer.

She tentatively said: "Second brother, it's raining too much, and I'm rather weak, so I'm afraid I can't hold the paper umbrella. You take the umbrella and take me to the flower hall, okay?"

If Xiao Yi still cared about her younger sister, he would definitely agree!

Xiao Yi glanced at her.

Delicate?

He remembered that in the town of Qingcheng Mountain, the little girl rowing a dragon boat was so fierce that she couldn't even hold a paper umbrella in a blink of an eye?

He was too lazy to talk to her, put the paper umbrella in her hand, turned and left Songheyuan.

Nan Baoyi embraced the paper umbrella, watched the black figure go away, and couldn't help muttering: "Second brother really has a rift with me..."

The lotus leaf hurried over with a paper umbrella, "Miss, why are you standing outside alone in a daze? Your jacket and skirt are all wet, you should go back to the house and change your clothes. If you catch the wind and cold, the old lady will feel sorry for you!"

Nan Baoyi was unhappy: "Heye, I really hate the Xia family!"

Originally, the relationship between her and Lord Quanchen was so good, but because of the rumors from the Xia family, Lord Quanchen and her were born in this life, and it was like returning to the pre-rebirth overnight!

"Slaves don't like Xia's family either. After two days of Double Ninth Festival, Jifushan will hold a Chrysanthemum Fighting Awards. The leader of the awards every year is Xia's family. Why don't you go to participate this year and grab the leader of Xia's family?" !"

This proposal won Nan Baoyi's favor.

She said seriously: "But our family doesn't have exotic flowers and plants, how can we beat Xia's family?"

"Miss, you forgot, the second son has many rare flowers and trees! Why don't you ask him to borrow a chrysanthemum?"

"That's a good idea. I'll go find him when the rain breaks tomorrow!"

Xiao Yi didn't know that Nan Baoyi was thinking about his chrysanthemum again.

At this time, the autumn rain has just stopped.

He was wearing a black cloak embroidered with dark gold patterns, holding a volume of books, standing by the west window of the big study.

Outside the window is facing a few clumps of emerald jade and thin bamboo, the cool breeze passes through, and the bamboo leaves are dripping raindrops, which is very elegant and quiet.

Xiao Yi didn't turn the page for a long time.

What floated in front of her eyes was always Nan Jiaojiao's frown and smile.

She swears to God that she never has that kind of thought for him.

Those words echoed in his ears, like a blunt knife slowly cutting his heart.

He closed the scroll, frowning slightly.

The little girl is still young and doesn't understand what liking is.

Maybe, she likes him without knowing it?

This idea deeply convinced Xiao Yi.

It is said that people are most likely to tell the truth when they are half asleep and half awake. Maybe he can go to Songhe Courtyard tonight to find out the truth about the little girl.

I heard it will snow tomorrow!
