After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 231 Xiao Yi and Nan Jiaojiao when they were young (3)

"Mother's little Jiaojiao, she will surely grow up in peace."

"Mother's little Jiaojiao is a little girl who is held in the palm of my brother's hand and is loved by thousands of people!"

"Mother's little Jiaojiao, she will marry a good man in the future. Mother hopes that that person will treat you like pearls and treasures, and protect you for the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing."

"Don't, don't be as ill-fated as your mother..."

The sparkling sunset slowly falls from the corners of the green glazed tile eaves of the Nanfu Garden.

Xiao Yi returned to the Loquat Courtyard, and just sat down in front of the desk when he heard faint wailing sounds from outside.

Shi Ku stepped into the threshold and reported in a low voice: "Master, the wife of the third bedroom is gone."

He sat in the dim sunset light.

I opened the ancient books, but I couldn't read a single word.

After a while, he got up and left the loquat courtyard.

There are people inside and outside Jinyi Pavilion.

White silk cloth and white lanterns have been hung up.

The relatives of the Nan family and the Song family wore sackcloth and filial piety, crying loudly.

He was standing under the veranda.

Looking through the window, the old lady was sitting in front of Babu's bed, choked with tears: "You just left, what will Jiaojiaoer do? Who will watch her get married in the future, and who will teach her how to take care of her husband? Backyard? Poor Jiaojiaoer!"

Jiang and the others turned their backs and wept silently while clutching their handkerchiefs.

Nan Guang stood in the corner, wanting to go forward but dared not, letting tears smear his face.

He turned around and walked towards the back garden of Jinyi Pavilion.

The sunset is like blood.

The little girl sat among the rhododendron bushes, holding a few withered flowers in a daze.

The third aunt was gone, and although the house had already prepared for the funeral, it was still a mess at the end.

No one cared about the little girl, her skirt was dirty, and the cinnabar mole that she loved to spot between her eyebrows on weekdays was not spotted, the hairpin ornaments were askew, and her hair was in a messy bun.

He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee beside her.

The little girl carefully placed the withered rhododendron petals on the skirt.

On the hem of the skirt, there was already a large bouquet of flower petals.

She lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice: "Mother likes azaleas the most... This is the last azalea that my mother accompanied me to see. They said it will rain tonight, so I picked up the petals and hid them , see you next year..."

Tears rolled down, wet the withered petals.

Xiao Yi silently patted her head.

Outside the courtyard wall, the voices of actors from Jinguan City singing could be faintly heard.

The cuckoos are singing red all over the green hills, and the shredded tobacco outside the tea is drunk and soft.

Blooming all over the place, it was finally ruined...

The main hall of Songheyuan.

Xiao Yi returned to his mind.

He stared at the girl who greeted him with a thousand blessings, her eyebrows were rare and gentle.

He got up and helped Nan Baoyi himself.

He held her hand and said in a warm voice, "Get up."

Nan Baoyi raised his eyes, and happened to bump into the depths of the man's eyes.

His phoenix eyes are as black as the long night,

But there are bits and pieces of light shining.

What is he thinking?

Xiao Yi let her sit next to him, peeled off a nougat by himself, and brought it to her lips.

Mrs. Quanfu waved her fan and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness treats Princess Baoyi with the utmost care. I think I have been married to my husband for decades, but I have never enjoyed peeling candy!"

Everyone in the Nan family looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Xiao Yi treated their Jiaojiao very respectfully and carefully, presumably he cared about her very much.

Only when they cared and pampered him in every possible way, could they let Jiaojiao pass through his door at ease.

At noon, Nanfu hosted a banquet.

The old lady specially kept Xiao Yi and Mrs. Quanfu for dinner, and the brothers from the Nan family were very happy, pouring wine for Xiao Yi, Jiang Suihan and the others.

Nan Baoyi didn't have the nerve to stay in the main hall, so he found an excuse and went back to Chaowen Yuan early.

The betrothal gifts have already been piled up to the Chaowen Academy.

The courtyard is full of prosperity.

The mahogany boxes are all opened, and at a glance, they are full of jewels and resplendent.

Nan Baoyi squatted in front of a mahogany box, and reached out to pick up a few strings of round and plump pearl wreaths.

The wreath is also dotted with expensive rubies, whether it is worn around the neck or used as a forehead ornament, it is extremely beautiful.

The maidservants who passed by talked one after another.

His voice was full of envy and pride.

They all grew up watching Nan Baoyi, and now that their young lady is valued so highly by the new son-in-law, they are also honored, they are really happy.

I think the days to come will be better and better.

Nan Baoyi was lying in a box full of pearls.

It was supposed to be a big day of joy, but what came to her mind was always the ten betrothal gifts brought to her home by the Cheng family in her previous life.

Compared with the second elder brother's full city scenery, how pitiful are those ten dowry gifts!

It turns out that the status of a woman in a man's heart can really be measured by the dowry.

Although some families are too poor to offer a lot of dowry gifts, they will also sincerely discuss with the woman, which can be regarded as their sincere desire to marry.

Like Cheng De in her previous life, her family was prominent and rich, but she was unwilling to spend a little more money for her.

Marrying her is just out of interest.

In her previous life, she was really blind!

Tears rolled down quietly.

A cool voice came from behind:

"Why are you crying?"

Nan Baoyi wiped away his tears and stood up hastily.

She turned around, and the maids in the courtyard were all gone.

The man standing with his hands behind his back has red lips and white teeth, and a harsh official robe.

Gu Chongshan!

She took half a step back, "Nine thousand years old is not serving Concubine Jiang Gui in the palace, why did you come to my house?"

Gu Chongshan squinted his eyes, and inexplicable emotions flashed across his pupils.

He said slowly: "I heard that the imperial concubine has heard that Xiao Yi's appointment is full of scenery in the city, so I specially sent this governor to come here to present congratulatory gifts."

Nan Baoyi was more on guard.

Concubine Jiang hated her and her second elder brother, and when she heard about their beauty, she would only become more jealous.

Sending Gu Chongshan here will definitely not bring good things.

Gu Chongshan casually took out a few strings of tourmaline beads from the mahogany box.

Twirling his fingertips, he smiled sarcastically: "The so-called betrothal gifts are all the treasures of the State of Wei, right? I should have half of these betrothal gifts."

"Nine thousand years old really loves to joke." Nan Baoyi didn't change his face, "This is the bride price given to me by the second brother. What do you mean by 'should have half of you'? Don't you also want the second brother to give you a betrothal gift?"

Gu Chongshan stared at her coldly.

She and Xiao Yi are of the same virtue, the kind who don't admit it.

When dealing with Xue Dingwei back then, it was agreed that each would get half of the benefits, but Xiao Yi dared to take it all to himself, and even dared to use these treasures to please the little girl of the Nan family under his nose.

Killing intent welled up in Gu Chongshan's eyes.

He couldn't touch Xiao Yi temporarily, but he could touch his woman.

He dropped the tourmaline beads.

The fragrant wind blows towards my face.

In the next moment, Gu Chongshan had already appeared beside Nan Baoyi.

His voice was hoarse and contemptuous: "Isn't the princess curious, what is the congratulatory gift from the governor?"

Strong fragrance.

Nan Baoyi's eyes blurred for a while.

She clearly realized that Gu Chongshan was planning to rob her from Nanfu.

Holding her forehead, her voice gradually weakened: "Nine thousand years old..."

Consciousness completely disappears.

Gu Chongshan looked at the girl lying limply in his arms.

Complicated emotions filled his narrow eyes. For a long time, he wanted to reach out and wrap his arms around the girl's waist, but after thinking about it, he covered his palm with a large white handkerchief before he seriously supported her.

He held the girl hostage, and quietly left Nanfu with his lightness skills.
