After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Xiao Yi took a sip of corn juice.

He said in a gentle voice, "Light and delicate, like a flying swallow in the Han Palace, so graceful and unparalleled."

Nan Baoyi blushed instantly.

"Second brother is really..." She looked shy, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shi Ku, who was kneeling behind the two of them, silently lowered his head.

Turning around a few times, can it also be called "so elegant, peerless"?

The master made it clear that he loves his sister!

At the end of the banquet, Xue Mei said seriously: "As we all know, the climate in Shu County is abnormal. It has snowed heavily in the past two days, which has damaged many crops and destroyed many houses and farms. For the sake of the common people. So tonight, a special auction was set up, and the female relatives present here are invited to donate jewelry or family collections for the auction. All the money will be used for disaster relief."

After she finished speaking, everyone in the venue praised her for her beauty and kindness.

The matter of breaking the leather drum just now was tacitly exposed.

And this auction was also stated in the invitation card early in the morning.

Therefore, the female relatives had already prepared, and all took out the brocade boxes they brought.

Nan Baoyi signaled Yang Liu to take it out too.

She looked at Nan Yan again.

Nan Yan knelt and sat there with a face full of indescribable words.

She didn't read the post, and she didn't know that she had to donate jewelry to participate in the banquet!

If she knew, she wouldn't come!

She raised her hand to touch the gemstone hairpin.

This hairpin, as well as other jewelry she wore, were borrowed by the maid from the pawn shop.

If you can't return it on time tomorrow, the shopkeeper will not only find Nanfu, but even tell the whole Jinguan City that she won't return the things she borrowed from Nanyan!

At that time, where did she put her face? !

The Cheng family would laugh at her too!

When she was panicking, she had a flash of inspiration.

She smiled softly, and said to Xue Mei: "Miss Xue, the little girl is not talented, she has learned to manage accounts. If you don't mind,

Let the little girl collect and register those pearls and hairpins for you, shall we? "

As long as she collects the pearl and hairpin jewelry, no one will ask her for donations.

Xue Mei nodded: "Go."

Nan Yan got up, led a group of maids, and walked gracefully to collect the brocade box.

The auction will be held on the second floor of the painting building.

The middle-aged and elderly people, headed by Xue Dudu, were not interested in this kind of auction for young children, so they all stayed in the lobby and continued to eat and drink.

The young sons and daughters of the aristocratic family all moved to the second floor one after another.

Xiao Yi is not interested in the auction either.

Nan Baoyi took his hand and looked up coquettishly: "Second brother, I want to buy jewelry."

She hadn't visited the jewelry store on Furong Street for a long time, so she finally had the opportunity to squander money tonight, so she had to take advantage of it.

She likes all kinds of crystal clear gems the most, and has collected two whole boxes.

If I can come across the color of gemstones that she didn't collect tonight, I will definitely buy them.

Xiao Yi stared at her.

I heard that crows like to pick up shiny things in their nests, but I didn't expect that the little girl in his family also likes shiny things.

That's right, Nan Jiaojiao was born in a beautiful family, and she is the richest little canary in the world. Naturally, she needs expensive things to be worthy of her.

It costs a lot of money to raise Nan Jiaojiao.

But what he lacked the most was money.

He bent his lips and smiled: "Brother will buy it for you."

The two went upstairs, and the maid respectfully rolled up the bead curtain.

The flower hall was arranged like an exhibition hall, and the distinguished guests sat in twos and threes. Nan Baoyi noticed that they seemed to be sitting with his sweetheart.

The glazed lamps are scattered high and low, creating a bright and dark aesthetic.

The powerful minister chose the corner position.

She sat obediently on the inside.

Not long after she was seated, she found that by coincidence, Cheng De and Nan Yan happened to be sitting across from the powerful minister.

The two were talking in a low voice, Cheng De was scolding Nan Rou, scolding her for lying.

His expression was not only impatient, but even cruel.

Arguing and arguing, Nan Yan covered her handkerchief and cried in a low voice.

She stretched her little neck to watch the play.

These two people have quarreled like this before they got married, what if they got married?

I don't know how Cheng De and Nan Yan fell in love with each other in the previous life...

Just as he was getting excited, Cheng Dezhi suddenly turned his head to look at it.

His expression was slightly startled, and then he withdrew his ferociousness, still exuding the gentleness and jade unique to the official boy, and nodded politely at her.

Nan Baoyi was thinking about whether to return him a salute hypocritically, but was pressed on the head by the powerful minister, and pushed her back inside.

He stared straight ahead expressionlessly, "Don't move around, it's about to start."

Nan Baoyi touched his head and said "oh".

The first lot to be auctioned was a pair of red gold bracelets.

Nan Baoyi didn't care, because she didn't need too many gold bracelets.

The second item for sale is a longevity lock ruyi gold necklace.

Xiao Yi glanced at Nan Baoyi, the little girl shook her head secretly, obviously she didn't like this kind of stuff.

That's right, the engraved patterns on the collar are not as exquisite as the little girl's anklet.

Between the two, Nan Rou's heart moved.

She also had a gold collar, but it was dragged down by Liu Xiaomeng. When she redeemed her body, she took it to a pawn shop.

She looked longingly at Cheng De, and whispered, "Brother Cheng, this gold collar..."

Cheng De said lightly: "Don't you wear one around your neck?"

Nan Yan pursed her lips.

The gold collar around her neck was borrowed, not her own!

Unwilling to give up, she gently grabbed the skirt of the skirt, with an attitude of pear blossoms and rain: "Since you got engaged to Brother Cheng, you have never given me jewelry."

Cheng De caressed his wide sleeves, "Your appearance is rather charming, wearing gold utensils looks vulgar."

Nan Yan: "..."

After all, I found a bunch of excuses, but I was reluctant to spend money for her.

She is so penny-pinching, what is the use of her fiancé? !

The third selling item is a crystal clear white jade gourd.

Xiao Yi noticed that the little girl's eyes lit up instantly.

The white jade gourd is priced at five hundred taels of silver.

This thing is expensive and cannot be worn, and the noble ladies in the venue are not interested, so Xiao Yi directly took it for a price of one thousand taels of silver.

Nan Yan watched from the side, with envy in her eyes.

The fourth item for sale is a starry sky blue gemstone.

The baby was as big as a fist, pure and flawless, with a deep color, as beautiful as a star.

Even if you look at the world, this kind of sapphire is very rare.

Nan Baoyi likes rare and precious things.

Her eyes were brighter than the stars, and she grabbed Xiao Yi's sleeve excitedly: "I want that! That color is rare, and I happen to be short of one!"

This gem is priced at two thousand taels of silver.

Cheng De looked at Nan Baoyi's coquettish appearance, and asked the price in a strange way: "Two thousand two hundred taels."

Nan Yan was startled.

Cheng De, did you buy it for her?

Yes, he said that she is not suitable for wearing gold, he must think that sapphire is more suitable for her.

This gemstone is much more valuable than a gold collar...

Her Xiafei cheeks, her voice is gentle: "Brother Cheng, this gem..."

"Don't talk." Cheng De said in a deep voice, "Your sister likes this sapphire, so I will naturally buy it and give it to her. You are a sister, so you should let her go."
