After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: Nan Jiaojiao is so cute and gentle, I like her so much

Nan Baoyi tilted his head: "Second brother, are you angry?"

Xiao Yi had no expression on his face and continued to flip through the book: "Drinking with others and staying out all night...Nan Jiaojiao is becoming more and more capable now. I can't even admire her, so how can I be angry?"

Nan Baoyi pursed her lips and smiled.

The second brother's words were sour, as if he drank a big bowl of vinegar!

She walked to the center of the bedroom, dragged a small carved table over, placed two bottles of fine wine, and asked the kitchen to bring peanuts, cold cucumber shreds, sweet-scented osmanthus duck, soy sauce beef and other side dishes to go with the wine.

She rolled up the bamboo curtains of the flowered windows.

At this time, the moonlight is clear and falls indoors together with the snowy light in the courtyard. It has a unique and elegant artistic conception, just like a new dream this winter.

She changed into a soft and delicate skirt behind the screen, and did a simple beauty bun.

She knelt down beside the low table and waved: "Second brother, don't be angry. Come and sit, and we can celebrate too. I deliberately saved my stomach and appetite when I was in Zuihuayin, just to come back and eat with you." Here’s the wine.”

Xiao Yi read the book at a glance and ignored her.

"You're really jealous..."

Nan Baoyi was angry and funny.

She walked to the window with her skirt in hand, and took Xiao Yi's arm coquettishly: "I just came back a little late, why are you angry?"

The little girl spoke softly and softly, with a mellow and sweet aroma from the wine she drank.

Xiao Yi withdrew his hand: "I'm not angry."

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows.

This guy's brows were furrowed and he still said he wasn't angry.

He's also quite difficult to coax...

She said in a good voice: "Second brother, do you still remember the Flower Festival in Jinguan City? After the Flower Festival, the second brother entered the officialdom for the first time. To celebrate, the house specially bought a banquet for you. I want to win it. I gave you the winning money as a gift, but I couldn't find the chance. So I sat in front of your house and waited and waited, from dusk until midnight, and when I fell asleep, I still couldn't wait for you."

Xiao Yi's eyebrows moved slightly.

He remembered what happened back then.

When he came back from the front yard, the little girl was sleeping on the steps, her dress wet with dew, like a pitiful hibiscus flower.

Nan Baoyi shook his sleeves: "I wasn't angry at that time, so why are you angry?"

Silence fell in the room.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the book page.

Every time he was promoted, he would celebrate and socialize with his colleagues, leaving her alone at home to wait.

Now it's just a change of order.

So, why should he disrespect her?

Not only should he not be angry, he should also prepare a congratulatory gift for her.

However, he has always been proud and asked him to take the initiative to apologize, but he really couldn't open his mouth.

Nan Baoyi stared at him carefully.

The profile of the young man's face was still inscrutable, but the hand holding the pages of the book was unexpectedly tight.

He felt guilty.

After spending so long with him, Nan Baoyi knew very well that Xiao Yi was particularly easy to coax at this time.

The girl raised her eyebrows and took Xiao Yi's arm: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Is it all my fault? My second brother is here to have a drink. I am very happy today!"

She took the initiative to give steps.

Xiao Yi closed the page and tried his best to maintain his airs: "That's all, I won't argue with you about tonight's matter."

He stood up and followed her to the low table.

Nan Baoyi felt that his arrogant appearance was like that of an angry little daughter-in-law. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

She happily drank several bowls of wine, and then she was so drunk that she fell into Xiao Yi's arms.

Xiao Yi looked down at her.

The little girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were hazy and happy, and her lips were as red as two crushed flowers.

She mumbled drunkenly: "Second brother, I am very happy today, very happy! My family will never be looked down upon by others again... My Zhuzhu can finally be straightened up..."

She was talking happily, but suddenly she burst into tears.

She choked with sobs and hugged Xiao Yi's neck: "Second brother, I'm very happy, really!"

Her tears and snot were all stained on Xiao Yi's robe.

Xiao Yi's expression was subtle.

After a while, he could only touch her head comfortingly: "You deserve all the glory."

"I, I want to give my second brother a gift..." Nan Baoyi lowered his head, dug out of his purse, took out a handful of copper coins, and generously presented it to Xiao Yi, "Here!"

Xiao Yi was disgusted.

Nan Jiaojiao, this is...

What about sending beggars away?

Nan Baoyi's drunken eyes were hazy, and he stared at the pile of copper coins in his palm for a long time, then suddenly shook his head: "No, no..."

She dug in her purse again and squinted her eyes for a long time before taking out the winning coin.

The front is engraved with "Great Yong in the Great Age", and the back is engraved with "Gold and Jade Full Hall".

It's the Tianshu token.

Xiao Yi whispered: "When did you take it away?"

Nan Baoyi did not answer.

She took his hand and solemnly placed the winning money in his palm.

She raised her red phoenix eyes: "Actually, second brother has known for a long time that my ancestor is not an ordinary person, right? Otherwise, why would the Tianshu token be in my house, and why would Queen Shen send you to find it...

"Second brother, this is something given to my family by Emperor Yongwu. It is something to protect my family. In my previous life, you found it and took it away without saying a word. I was actually very angry.

"But……"

The girl stared at Xiao Yi's face, tears rolling down for no reason.

She leaned into his arms: "But when I think about how much I owe you, I can't be angry... Second brother, I want you to remember that this token was given to you by my Nan family, not you." It was taken without permission, do you understand? From now on, you have to be nicer to me..."

She murmured, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

She fell asleep.

Xiao Yi held the winning coin tightly.

He listened to the girl's steady and long breathing, and her deep phoenix eyes gradually softened.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Nan Jiaojiao is well-behaved and gentle. I like her to death. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

He kissed the little girl's eyebrows, carried her to the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

He stared at her for a long time before lowering the curtain.

Stepping out of the dormitory, Shi Yanzheng was guarding the corridor and respectfully presented him with a luxurious black robe: "Master, the people from the Tang family in Quzhou have arrived. Their whereabouts are well hidden. The person in the palace has not discovered it yet. . Auntie Xie is entertaining guests at Jinling Tour, and now she is just waiting for your arrival."

Xiao Yi nodded.

The cold wind blew in, rattling the iron chains around his wrists.

He raised his eyebrows and used his hands.

The seemingly humiliating but strong shackles were broken in an instant.

He squatted down on one knee and easily removed the chain from his ankle.

He put on his robe, raised his eyes and stared into the dark night, with a playful expression on his face: "Let's go."

…

When Nan Baoyi woke up, it was already noon the next day.

She woke up with a hangover and a splitting headache.

Struggling to sit up, he saw a brocade box beside his pillow.

She touched the brocade box and raised her head curiously: "Second brother, what is this?"

Xiao Yi was sitting under the west window reading, still wearing chains on his hands and feet.
