After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Sugar, gourd, reed...

Nan Baoyi stared at the old man who was selling candied haws on the side of the road, his white and tender face was distorted.

Xiao Yi pulled the rein and asked, "Do you want it?"

Nan Baoyi was very embarrassed, determined to make Xiao Yi spend money, so he said: "Second brother, buy them all, I like candied haws."

"So much, you can't finish it."

"I can finish it."

Xiao Yi paid a piece of silver.

The old man was holding the money and smiling, not to mention the candied haws, even the straw target with candied haws was given to Nan Baoyi.

Nan Baoyi was sitting on horseback with a straw target taller than her in her arms.

The target is filled with candied haws, as many as hundreds of strings.

The rock sugar coat was slightly melted by the spring sun, and the hawthorn fruit was bright red, sour-sweet and delicious at a glance, very attractive.

Nan Baoyi held a bunch and took a small bite.

Moderately sweet and sour, delicious.

She ate half a skewer, and gradually the more she ate, the more sour it became, and gradually even the roots of her teeth became sour.

Seeing her slow down in eating candied haws, Xiao Yi sneered, "Can't you eat anymore?"

"I can eat it... I'm just brewing and brewing feelings. When the feelings are in place, I can eat a hundred bunches of candied haws."

Nan Baoyi spoke stubbornly, but stared at the remaining half bunch of candied haws and felt worried.

If she continued to eat, her teeth would be sore.

But if she doesn't eat it, the cowhide will be blown out, and the candied haws are also what she clamored to buy, so can she still go back on her word?

It will make the powerful minister look down on her!

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes, taking a full view of her embarrassed little expression.

He touched her head, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it, save it for lunch. I told Yuwei to stew your favorite pigeon soup with red dates, wolfberries and cordyceps. It's delicious."

Nan Baoyi was ready to move.

She held up half a bunch of candied haws hesitantly, "But—"

Xiao Yi tilted his head,

Bite off a candied haws on a bamboo stick.

He chewed it in two or three bites, and chuckled with his thin lips: "Brother will eat it for you, so it won't be wasted."

Nan Baoyi smiled sweetly, raised his head and looked back at him, "Is it delicious?"

"Fair."

Nan Baoyi saw that his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he didn't seem to be disgusted, so he took the initiative to hand the bamboo stick to his lips, "Second brother, eat another one."

She watched Xiao Yi eating candied haws, and suddenly remembered something from her childhood.

At that time, the second elder brother lived in the gloomy and dilapidated Loquat Courtyard, and he was only a young boy.

That winter was very cold, she was holding a bunch of candied haws, playing hide-and-seek with the maid, and broke into his house because she got lost.

There are no earth dragons in his house, and it is as cold as a snow cave.

He was sitting in front of a basin of charcoal fire with a quilt wrapped around him, reading a book carefully.

After she came in, she criticized very impolitely: "Tantan has smoked a lot. The mother said that the smoked Tantan would choke people, so it's not a good Tantan."

The little boy ignored her and continued to study.

She was only three or four years old at that time, and she was the jewel in the palm of the whole family, how proud she was.

She snorted softly, squatted beside the charcoal basin, and looked at him while eating candied haws.

But she squatted for a long time, and the picked brother only focused on studying and ignored her.

Xu felt neglected, so she purposely brought candied haws to his mouth, "Do you want to eat it? It's sweet and sour, it's delicious!"

Although she is young, she knows that this brother is not liked by the whole family, he must have never eaten candied haws, she wants to greedy him.

The little boy raised a beautiful and delicate face from the book.

He stared at the candied haws for a while, then tentatively tilted his head and bit down.

And when she was young, she was simply full of bad water.

Not only did she not let him bite, but she deliberately threw the candied haws into the charcoal basin, and said happily: "I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you! Just a little bit!"

The candied gourds were covered with dust in the charcoal basin and could no longer be eaten.

Not long after she was happy, the little boy with a gloomy face grabbed her by the braids and pushed her to the ground!

He also grabbed a few handfuls of ashes and cruelly wiped them on her face and new coat and skirt!

She feels unclean!

She was bullied and cried!

She ran out of the loquat courtyard crying, and since then, she has formed a relationship with the powerful minister.

Nan Baoyi recalled, and couldn't help feeling resentful.

When I was young, I was completely spoiled, and even bullied a child who had no parents.

She has a great responsibility for the power minister to grow into the moody character she is today!

Her guilt increased by two points. Seeing Xiao Yi quietly eating candied haws, she said softly, "Second brother, eat slowly. I will make up for the innocence and purity you lost."

Xiao Yi: "..."

He stared at Nan Baoyi complicatedly.

It's sunny, what nonsense is this little girl talking about?

He ate the last candied haws, and said flatly, "Your brother's chastity is not lost."

"I'm talking about innocence and purity!"

"Referred to as true (chaste) clean."

Nan Baoyi was speechless.

The horse walked to the end of the long street, and there was a sudden commotion in front of it.

Nan Baoyi set up the awning and looked over: "It seems to be the carriage of Dudu Xue's family, which was surrounded by the common people for some reason... The one sitting in the carriage is the eldest daughter of the Xue family."

She jumped off the steed, and stuffed the candied haws and straw target into Xiao Yi's hand, "Second Brother, just wait here, I'll go ahead and see the excitement."

Xiao Yi had no choice but to hold on to the straw target and watch her rush into the crowd.

He urged the horse to the side of the road, got off the steed and waited patiently.

Nan Baoyi ran around in the crowd, and finally figured out what happened.

Xue Mei wanted to do good deeds, so she used the night banquet of Xue's family to ask the noble ladies of Jinguan City to donate a lot of treasures for the auction, and then used the money from the auction to help the people who suffered from the snow disaster.

The snowstorm crushed the houses of many poor people in the west of the city. Xue Mei asked people to repair their houses, but in the end they built a pile of bean curd houses. Not only did they leak air, but the original intact half of the roof also collapsed!

Xue Mei held a large banquet in the west of the city again, and invited the poor people to eat, but the dishes were all unappetizing. stay!

Nan Baoyi was dumbfounded.

She thought that Xue Mei was a girl who sincerely wanted to do good deeds.

Unexpectedly, it was just the name of the picture.

Now it's all right, I haven't done good deeds, I haven't gained fame and fortune, and I don't know what I'm trying to do after going around a lot.

When she was sighing, Xue Mei saw her from the car window.

She grabbed the embroidered handkerchief, "I saw this girl riding a horse with Marquis Jingxi from a distance, who is she?"

Xia Minghui, her close friend in the boudoir, ignored the noisy and cursing outside, lightly stroked the tea cover, and said indifferently: "Nan Baoyi, the fifth girl of the Nan family, Jingxihou's younger sister."

"It looks familiar, but since it's my younger sister, there's nothing wrong with riding on the same horse."

Xue Mei muttered, took out a letter and a purse from the box, and told the maid: "Take it to Nan Baoyi, and ask her to hand it over to Jingxihou for me. If we can succeed with Jingxihou, her help is indispensable." benefit."
