After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

The sun in early summer is quite hot.

Nan Yan followed Cheng Ye Rou to the front yard, and saw from a distance under the eaves, her brother Nan Jing sitting on a small stool, with a small floral rice bag tied around his neck, and his hair and nails were well-groomed.

Daddy is holding a small bowl and feeding him seriously.

"Our Jinger's favorite egg custard bibimbap," Nan Guang scooped up a spoonful of rice with a smile, "Jinger, good boy, open your mouth, ah..."

"what……"

Nan Jing opened his mouth obediently, like a child.

When he came to the front, Nan Yan called out: "Father."

Nan Guang turned his back to her, and his feeding hand shook slightly.

Egg custard stuck to the corner of Nan Jing's mouth, Nan Guang lowered his eyes, and carefully wiped it off with a handkerchief.

The circles of his eyes were quietly red.

He handed the small wooden bowl to the maid and turned to look at Nan Yan.

His eldest daughter, who is both talented and beautiful, has been smart since she was a child, and is known as a "talented woman" in Jinguan City.

He thought that she would marry very well, with a lot of red makeup, three matchmakers and six hires, and she would marry into a wealthy family in a splendid manner...

When she came back today, she wore a bridal bun and a light pink smoked skirt.

Because she is not married, she can't even wear red...

In the past six months, Nan Guang had scolded and complained about Nan Yan for running away at night without permission. He thought that when she came back one day, he would beat her severely.

However, looking at his daughter's watery almond eyes, he couldn't say anything.

"Just come back..." He patted Nan Yan's arm, "Just come back..."

Nan Yan looked at him.

This flirtatious and confused father seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Feeling a little guilty, she took the brocade box from the maid and said with a smile, "For the past six months, my daughter has been staying at Cheng's house, and it's my fault for failing to be filial to her father. I'm short on money, and this ginseng Brother Cheng took it from the storeroom, and it should be a gift for you."

Cheng De was only thinking about Nan Baoyi, so he quietly went to the backyard under the pretext of reuniting their father and daughter.

The father and daughter stepped into the study,

Nan Guang asked nervously, "Yan'er, how did Cheng De treat you? You haven't reached Ji, have you ever..."

"Brother Cheng has no shortage of maids around him. He knows that his daughter is not good enough, so he has never treated her well." Nan Yan tactfully said, "Although I wear a woman's hair bun, don't worry, Daddy, I am still an innocent girl. "

Nan Guang nodded in relief.

He has been wandering around the flowers all these years, but he has never touched a girl who is not as good as Ji.

Because they are too young, they accept personnel affairs prematurely, which is not good for their health.

Xu is rewarded, and now his daughter is still clean, which makes him happy.

"Father," Nan Yan said with sincerity, "I know that I've embarrassed my family by being a concubine of the Cheng family. But I've had enough of the pain of being a commoner in the market. I want to stand out, I want to have a bright future... Can you Forgive me?"

"My child, what are you saying to forgive?" Nan Guang poured a cup of almond tea and put it gently in her hand, "Your brother has become like that, and Daddy only has you two daughters."

"Father, in fact, my daughter came back this time not only to visit grandma and you, but also because money is really tight..." Nan Yan hesitated to speak, "You also know what kind of family Cheng's family is, rewarding servants and being filial to in-laws , It costs money to buy skirt hairpin jewelry during the festival. So, my daughter thought, can I, can I ask for a dowry?"

Nan Guang was taken aback.

Rou Rou watched him very closely, he really didn't have much money in his pocket.

He was very ashamed, "Well, I have to ask Rourou. She is your aunt after all, so I have to make up for your dowry..."

After lunch, when Nan Yan was playing with Nan Jing under the eaves, Nan Guang secretly dragged Cheng Yerou to the bedroom.

He flattered him, "Rourou..."

Cheng Yerou sat down and picked up the teacup casually.

She blew on the tea mist, "Smiling like this, is it to help your daughter get a dowry?"

Nan Guang was pleasantly surprised: "Rou Rou is really smart! So, you agreed?!"

"I plan to marry Nan Yan with five thousand taels of gold ingots, one hundred thousand taels of silver, plus three shops on Furong Street, a set of Wujin mansions in Qingqiao Hutong, and two hundred hectares of land in Jinguan City."

"Really?!"

Nan Guang rubbed his hands in surprise.

"fake!"

Cheng Yerou put the teacup on the flower table heavily.

Nan Guang trembled three times in fright.

Cheng Yerou sneered: "I don't want to be a good lady, but I want to elope late at night, and I am willing to be a concubine... Such a shameless girl, it would be good to let her go back to her mother's house, and she still wants a dowry?! The dowry I mentioned, It turned out that when the ancestors betrothed her to the owner of the rice shop, they prepared a dowry for her, which was enough for her to eat and drink for the rest of her life! I am shameless, no wonder others despise her!"

She didn't lower her voice.

under the eaves.

Nan Yan teased Nan Jing with the rattle, but there was no smile on her beautiful face.

In the room, Nan Guang accompanied Xiaoxin, and tentatively said: "Since my mother refuses to give Yan'er's dowry, Rourou, why don't you give her your dowry? Anyway, Jiaojiao has her mother's dowry, so I don't want to give her dowry." Not missing your share of—"

"Nanguang!"

Cheng Yerou suddenly raised her voice.

Nan Guang was overly frightened and sat down on the armchair.

He swallowed, "Rourourou..."

"Just say what I said once, and you remember it. If I have a daughter with you, then my dowry will be divided into two, one for Jiaojiao, and one for our daughter. If it is a son, then my dowry will be divided into two." Leave it all to Jiaojiao. As for Nan Yan, don't even think about it!"

"Cheng Yerou, I am the head of the family!"

"Are you?"

Cheng Yerou's eyes were cold.

Nan Guang hesitated.

Is he?

He doesn't seem to be.

under the eaves.

Nan Yan's expression gradually turned cold and distorted.

She also expected to get a dowry this time, but she didn't expect the Nan family to be so stingy.

"Drum drum, snare drum!"

Nan Jing clapped his hands, wanting to grab the red-painted rattle.

"Brother, do you want it?" Nan Yan shook the rattle with an unpredictable smile.

Nan Jing cheerfully said, "I want to!"

Nan Yan's eyes showed viciousness, and she deliberately threw the rattle far away as if venting.

She stroked the skirt, "Go and pick it up yourself."

After speaking, he turned his head and left the front yard.

Nan Jing clapped his hands and happily rushed over to pick up the rattle.

He ran too fast, and there was no maid beside him to watch him. He accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground screaming.

His head hit the white slate bricks heavily, and the bright red blood slowly flowed out.

The mother-in-law came out of the wing with a water basin, and when she saw him like this, she was startled, "Master, something happened to you!"

After Nan Yan left the front yard, she went straight to the back yard.

Thinking that Cheng De might be looking for Nan Baoyi, her face was full of coldness.

She may dislike Cheng De, but she cannot tolerate Cheng De liking Nan Baoyi!

When passing through a rockery, a low laugh suddenly came from above.

Nan Yan looked up.

The young man in black clothes and gold crown is sitting leisurely on the rockery.

The dark gold taotie-patterned robe was spread out, and the black-glazed rabbit hair teacup was lazily held by the slender white fingertips, the lips were red and the teeth were white, and the phoenix eyes were smiling.
