After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: Being in the palm of his hand for life

Xiao Yi woke up with a start and sat up.

He touched the little girl's hot forehead: "But it's a nightmare?"

Nan Baoyi gradually calmed down.

She looked at the luxurious tent and quilt, and then at the handsome husband in front of her. She realized that she was out of the terrible sea of suffering, and her pounding heart finally calmed down a little.

She threw herself into Xiao Yi's arms, her voice aggrieved and squeamish: "I have angina pectoris and can't sleep well at night. My second brother will rub it for me..."

Xiao Yi hugged her.

The little girl was as soft as a bone, so petite in his arms, with messy black hair, and her face that had just woken up was like a spring peony. The lingering tent exuded the faint scent of hibiscus flowers, which was really alluring.

He couldn't help but kiss her red lips. He held her slender waist with one hand and combed her black hair with the other. His tone was helpless but indulgent: "How old are you, and you still act like a baby in the middle of the night?"

Hearing his voice, Nan Baoyi felt more at ease.

She sniffed his scent and rubbed her face against his chest dependently: "How about going back to Jinguan City for New Year's Eve this year? Ah Ruan and little Ah Chou are also starting to be sensible at this age. Take them to the hometown where we grew up. Take a look and let them see the wider world. I myself miss my grandmother and father very much..."

The little girl's soft words made Xiao Yi's heart melt.

He always responded to her requests.

After the news spread that they were going back to Jinguancheng for New Year's Eve, Nan Baozhu, Han Yanliang, Jiang Suihan and others also clamored to go back together. On the day of departure, the car drove without end, heading southwest in a mighty way.

After traveling for more than half a month, Nan Baoyi finally saw the hometown in his memory.

The plaque on the city gate with the inscription "Jinguan City" is ancient and has gone through many changes. After passing through the city gate, the streets and alleys are still familiar to her. Even the flower cake shop that she and her little cousin frequented when she was a child has not changed at all. Business is still booming.

Nan Baoyi's eyes were slightly hot, and he subconsciously held Ah Ruo's little hand.

Ah Ruan clearly felt the trembling of her fingertips, and said in a childish voice: "Why is A Niang crying?"

Nan Baoyi's eyes became even more moist.

She silently took the little guy into her arms, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

There is always a place that can make a wanderer still worried after traveling thousands of miles away, a place that can make a wanderer still be haunted by dreams even after being away for many years, and a place that can make the most experienced and well-informed people, because of the commonest yet most familiar grass in that place. I burst into tears.

That place is called hometown.

Xiao Yi hugged Nan Baoyi into his arms and touched her head comfortingly.

…

To Nan Baoyi's relief, everything was fine in Nan Mansion.

Although my grandmother is old and cannot remember much, she is in good health. She is accompanied by her son, daughter-in-law, and great-granddaughter. She is happy all day long, as if she is several years younger than she was in Chang'an.

In addition to the bank business, the Nan family's Shu brocade business is also booming. Now it is the largest Shu brocade businessman in the entire southwest, and even its mansion has doubled in width.

Nan Baoyi and Xiao Yi were still resting in Chaowen Courtyard.

While the maid was packing her luggage, Nan Baoyi was sitting under the west window making tea, and softly said to A Ruian and Little A Chou: "When I lived here before, your father used to rape me while I was studying.

That’s harsh! "

Ah Ruan was very interested: "Didn't Grandma study well when she was young?"

Nan Baoyi was embarrassed.

Not only is it bad, it is simply an illiterate idiot!

Xiao Yi, who was sorting out the documents, raised his eyes to look at her, pursed his thin lips and smiled softly.

Nan Baoyi was even more embarrassed: "Second brother, why are you laughing? Did you dislike me back then?"

Xiao Yi shook his head: "I don't dislike it. At that time... I just thought that you were so delicate and beautiful. If you could have poems and books in your belly, it would be the icing on the cake for you. Of course, if you really didn't want to learn back then, I would still be I like you."

I can’t tell when I was tempted.

When I was young, I thought that the daughter of the Nan family was naughty, unruly and without any rules.

It was obvious that he should hate her to the extreme, but whenever she looked at him with those clear and pure eyes, he couldn't get angry no matter what.

He thought that Nan Jiaojiao was just a spoiled child. What kind of evil intentions could a child have? She was just naughtier than other children.

He silently watched her grow up, watching her figure become more and more graceful and tall, watching her appearance becoming more and more beautiful, watching her sincerely treat the mother and daughter who were living outside the family, and watching her love Cheng Deyu deeply. …

But now, what he regrets most is that in his previous life, he watched her jump into a pit of fire for the sake of his so-called youthful spirit.

How cruel was he at that time?

Xiao Yi suppressed his guilt in his heart and secretly swore that for the rest of his life, he would love the treasure he had spent two lifetimes to get even more.

…

The city is covered with heavy snow.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner in Nanfu was particularly lively. The hall was decorated with thousands of splendid lights, and people were drinking and drinking on the table. The children, led by Ah Ruang, were sitting at the small round table and having a great time.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Nan Baoyi drank too much and didn't care about staying up late. She tilted her head and fell on the couch and fell asleep. She vaguely felt Xiao Yi helping her take off her socks and shirt, and carefully tucking the brocade quilt for her.

She slept until Yinshi, when she woke up suddenly and sat up. She subconsciously touched the pillow next to her, only to realize that Xiao Yi was not beside her.

"Second brother?"

she called softly.

Yuwei heard the noise and came in, held up the tent for her, and said with a smile: "Princess, are you awake? The master just went out. He said he had something urgent and would be back soon. Don't worry."

Nan Baoyi nodded.

She dressed up and said, "I can't sleep anymore. You don't have to follow me when I go out for a walk."

Walk all the way through the corridor and through the courtyard.

In Songhe Courtyard, the lights in the grandmother's room were still on. Mother Ji said that her grandmother was preparing the New Year's money for the first month, but she couldn't count it clearly.

The little cousin and Ning Wanzhou were still awake and were playing in the snow with great energy.

Han Yanliang danced in the snow in a wide-sleeved attire, while Shen Yijue stood beside him carrying a thick cloak and a hand warmer. His face showed no appreciation, but was full of worry that she might catch a cold.

Jiang Suihan and Xie Alou invited Nan Chengli and Ning Fanhua. The four of them had a lively card game and were engaged in an intense gambling game with something called "Mahjong."

Nan Baoyi passed by one by one, but his second brother was nowhere to be seen.

Where did he go?

She went to the Loquat Courtyard alone. The courtyard was quiet. Because no one had lived in it for a long time, the whole courtyard was even more dilapidated. However, the loquat tree was becoming more and more leafy, and there was a thick layer of snow on the branches. In the coming year, it would be about Can produce sweet loquats.

The second brother is not here.

Nan Baoyi stood under the eaves for a moment, then suddenly walked towards the stables.

She took out a horse and rode it away from Nanfu.

Because of Princess Yong's status, she easily left Jinguan City, followed the official road, and headed straight to the high mountains on the outskirts of the city according to the impression in her memory.

When we trekked up the mountain, it was dawn.

She held the train of her skirt and saw a familiar figure sitting under the peach blossom tree from a distance, stroking the strong trunk of the tree.

"Second brother!"

she said crisply.

Xiao Yi looked back with a smile on his face: "You're here."

"I can't find my second brother anywhere, so I guessed you were here." Nan Baoyi stepped forward, sat next to him, and looked around curiously, "Is this the place where you buried me in my previous life?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

In his previous life, he had guarded her lonely grave here for many years.

No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, he always loved to be in front of her tomb, sweeping away flower petals and fallen leaves for her, brushing off the dust on her tombstone, and placing flower cakes and fruit wine for her that she loved to eat during her lifetime.

He could not help but kiss her tombstone, as if he was kissing his beloved baby.

But the tombstone is cold.

Under the peach blossom tree, the sun is gentle.

Xiao Yi held up Nan Baoyi's face.

After staring for a moment, he suddenly kissed her deeply.

Everything in the past life is all false.

At the beginning of the new year, the world is vast.

They are real and eternal at this moment.

He is willing to spend the rest of his life protecting her and keeping her in his palm for the rest of his life.
