After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Surrounded by wealthy businessmen, gentry and dignitaries from the entire Shu County, Nan Baoyi's cheeks were hot.

Some Shu brocade merchants who usually dislike Nan's family have made trouble one after another:

"Is the Nan family in decline? How can this father and daughter even eat and take money!"

"The richest man actually only donated two taels of silver. What about the family of good deeds? Could it be that the previous reputation was obtained by deceiving the people?"

"It seems that the Zou family is none other than the Zou family. Congratulations, Boss Zou!"

"Where, where! Hahaha!"

Nan Yan shook her fan lightly, also smiling.

Seeing that Nan Baoyi was unlucky, she was very happy.

Behind her, the ladies whispered:

"Tch, Nan Yan also went to the night banquet at Xue's Bie Zhuang last time, but she was reluctant to donate jewelry. In the end, Mr. Cheng couldn't see it and forced her to donate a hairpin. It seems that Nan Yan's stinginess is inherited from her father. Woolen cloth!"

"Look at Nan Yan, she still has the nerve to smile, she's proud instead of ashamed, she's really thick-skinned!"

Nan Yan: "..."

Isn't it good to laugh at Nan Baoyi?

Why bother with her!

Xue Mei gloated: "Two taels of silver, it's a joke to tell it! Last time in the snow disaster, Nan Baoyi led people to repair the house and distribute porridge and food for the servants in the mansion. I thought she was very generous, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. Two Two grains of silver, thanks to her father who can afford it!"

The sound of ridicule is endless.

Fine sweat broke out on Nan Baoyi's white and tender forehead.

She silently sat back to her original position, grabbed Xiao Yi's wide sleeve, "Second brother, I can borrow your sleeve."

She buried her little face deeply in his sleeve.

Xiao Yi pursed his thin lips into a slight smile.

The little girl shyly got into his wide sleeves, like a quail with her head buried.

He said softly: "In ancient times, there were arrows in the sleeves, but now this Marquis has a little beauty in the sleeves..."

"Second brother, I'm completely ashamed!"

The lights are bright, and the youthful phoenix eyes are gentle.

How could he be willing,

Shame on Nan Jiaojiao?

He clapped his hands twice.

Shiku and others escorted the big mahogany boxes into the hall.

A neat seal was pasted on the wooden box, with the words "Nanfu Disaster Relief Bank" written in flamboyant handwriting.

Standing under the hall, Shiku said loudly: "At the order of the old lady of the Nan family, I specially sent 880,000 taels of snow-patterned silver to help the people of Shu County. Please check it with the supervisor!"

Eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand taels of snow-patterned silver!

Everyone in the hall gasped at the same time!

This is almost catching up with the combined share of all of them, what a big hand of the Nan family!

Gu Chongshan, who was always pouring spirits lightly, raised his eyes coldly.

With a smile on his red lips, he signaled the little eunuch to accept it.

Unsurprisingly, the number of imperial merchants was acquired by the Nan family.

Nan Baoyi got out of his sleeves, his eyes sparkled, "Second brother, so you and grandma have already made preparations, it really worries me."

Xiao Yi was noncommittal.

The Nan family was able to do such a big business, so of course they were very well informed. They had known for a long time that Gu Chongshan came to Shu County this time to select the Shu Brocade Imperial Merchants.

Disaster relief money and so on were prepared early in the morning.

Take 880,000 taels of silver in exchange for the status of an imperial merchant, connect with the royal family, and reduce 70% of taxes. For a big businessman who can do business, it is a bloody profit.

Xue Mei looked at the siblings and frowned in displeasure.

Xiao Yi was originally her husband-in-law, why did Nan Baoyi act like a baby to him?

She waved her round fan and sneered: "I am rich and honored, but I just donated some money. It should be taken for granted. What is there to be ashamed of?"

Nan Baoyi asked back: "Miss Xue said it easily, so do you have any money to donate?"

Xue Mei was speechless.

She really didn't donate.

But so what, Dad said, when the drought is over, we will take the merits of other people's disaster relief to her alone, and ask the imperial court to make her the princess!

Nan Baoyi had a panoramic view of her expression, and turned to Gu Chongshan with a smile, "I don't know about Nine Thousand Years. This eldest girl of the Xue family is a famous disaster relief lady in Shu County. She was born with a delicate and kind heart. So fierce, Miss Xue will definitely take the lead and live up to the title of 'disaster relief lady'."

"Oh?"

Gu Chongshan drank half a glass of wine, smiled playfully, "Miss Xue, then you have to donate money."

Xue Mei tightly held the jade handle of the round fan, her face turned blue and white.

Gu Chongshan is a person close to the emperor, if the emperor knows that her title of "disaster relief lady" is false, he will definitely not want to confer her as the princess.

She was furious in her heart, but she had to force a smile and said, "Master, the little girl is willing to donate 20,000 taels of silver for disaster relief."

Saying so, my heart is bleeding.

The 20,000 taels of silver was her own money that she had worked so hard to save over the years.

Tonight, because of Nan Baoyi's words, everything was in vain!

She gouged out Nan Baoyi's eyes.

Relying on Xiao Yi's support, Nan Baoyi bent his eyes and smiled fearlessly.

Xia Minghui helped Xue Mei, and said softly, "Miss Nan doesn't think it's too much to force others to donate money like this?"

"In his position, seek his own government." Nan Baoyi said frankly, "Could it be that the name 'Disaster Relief Lady' was given for nothing? Speaking of which, Miss Xia and Miss Xue are close friends in the boudoir, and they must be as kind-hearted as her. Do you want to donate too?"

This trick is too poisonous.

Xia Minghui was unwilling to give half a copper coin, so she kept silent and just drank tea with her eyes downcast as quietly as a chicken.

The girls that Xue Mei made friends with were afraid that Nan Baoyi would extort money from them, so no one dared to say anything.

Gu Chongshan was fiddling with black sandalwood beads, staring at Nan Baoyi from a distance, his eyebrows and eyes were dark.

He said softly, "Jingxihou's younger sister, it's really interesting..."

His eyes are quite dangerous.

Nan Baoyi's face was slightly stiff.

Xiao Yi thoughtfully handed her the wide sleeve, "Do you want to go in and hide?"

He liked the way Nan Jiaojiao hid in his wide sleeves very much.

...

After a lot of toasting, the banquet finally came to an end.

The carriages parked on the side of the street gradually dispersed, leaving only the bright moonlight on the street.

Nan Baoyi was about to board the carriage when a voice "wait a minute" came from behind.

She looked back, Gu Chongshan was standing on the steps, his navy blue embroidered smoke ripple official robe fluttered, his lips were red and his teeth were white under the moonlight, he was in a very handsome posture.

His voice was hoarse: "Sister Jingxihou, what's your name?"

Nan Baoyi thought for a while, and replied generously: "Nan Baoyi."

"My mother gave me the name, and I hope that someone will treat me like a pearl and a treasure, so that I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life." She looked at Xiao Yi, who was stepping on the horse, and smiled, "Nine thousand years old, in this life, many people treat me like a treasure." I am like a jewel like a jewel, and I am very happy."

Her pupils seemed to be filled with tiny stars, which were astonishingly bright.

Gu Chongshan's eyes gradually darkened.

A sudden dull pain in the heart.

It seems that in the long past, I once knew such a girl.

It's just that the girl lived a miserable life, no one treated her like a jewel, and no one protected her from any worries...

Nan Baoyi lifted the gauze skirt and boarded the carriage, opened the bamboo curtain, and suddenly turned to Gu Chongshan, "Nine thousand years old."

"What for?"

"May you add blessings every year, and everything will be auspicious."

The girl smiled sweetly and leaned over into the carriage.

The past is like a dream, out of reach.

She was born because of Gu Chongshan, and died because of Gu Chongshan.

From now on, the grievances and entanglements with him will only be written off.
