After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

the next day.

The sun is shining in spring, the sky is bright and the peonies in Nanfu Garden are in full bloom.

There is an octagonal red-lacquered gazebo in the garden, carved and painted, with fine and delicate bamboo curtains hanging from the octagonal corners. The spring breeze blows the curtains, faintly revealing the little beauty in the pavilion.

Nan Baoyi was sitting in front of the stone table, carefully copying the posts.

Xiao Yi said that her handwriting was too ugly, so he gave her a few copybooks and told her to practice twenty big characters today.

After writing a few words, she put down the brush and stretched softly.

The lotus leaf came in with tea, and said with a smile: "Miss, you have worked hard on calligraphy, and the servant brought you some snacks. It was made by the aftertaste of the second young master's side. The servant tasted a piece, and it was a good taste, better than that in the old lady's yard. The cook here is even better!"

Nan Baoyi held his chin with one hand, and lazily played with a newly picked peony, "Lotus leaf, your lady, I am also a studious person now, don't give me food if you have nothing to do. How will my second brother explain my homework?"

He Ye secretly glanced at her homework.

Well, her lady has been sitting in the pavilion all morning, in the euphemistic name of practicing calligraphy, but up to now, she has only practiced one big character, and she is in a daze for the rest of the time.

She put down her tea, and persuaded her kindly: "Miss, our Nan family is really not suitable for reading and practicing calligraphy. Look at the fourth son, he is determined to pass the imperial examination, but the servant girl heard that he can't even recite "The Analects of Confucius" so far. , being laughed at every day in the academy. Why don't you just stop pushing yourself?"

Nan Baoyi held his face in both hands, staring blankly at the blank rice paper.

It is probably because there is something wrong with the Nan family's feng shui. For hundreds of years, they have been earning money like water, but none of the family's children can test for fame...

Seeing that her young lady didn't speak, He Ye backed out holding the red lacquer tray.

As soon as she opened the bamboo curtain, she said: "Miss, isn't that the third master?"

"My father?"

Nan Baoyi got up and walked over.

She hid behind the bamboo curtain, and saw her father carrying the candy box of Shi Jin Ji, walking through the flower path.

The peach blossom candy box of Shijinji is very famous in Sichuan. It is carved from rosewood. Press and hold the round lid in the middle, and you can rotate out five peach petal-shaped drawers, which contain five flavors of sugar balls. Delicate and clear, very popular with children.

When she was young, she liked the peach blossom candy box the most. She mentioned it to her father yesterday, but he didn't expect him to take it to heart, so she went to buy candy for her...

Nan Baoyi felt warm in his heart, and was about to run out when he saw a white figure standing in front of his father.

Nan Yan curtsied to Nan Guang like a weak willow supporting the wind, "Greetings to Daddy, where is Daddy going?"

"Oh, I'll go to Chaowen Academy to see your sister."

Nan Yan pinched the handkerchief, feeling very uncomfortable.

She waited in the house for a long time last night. Not only did she fail to wait for the good news of the dowry, even her father disappeared.

She went to pay her father's greetings this morning, but the boy said that he left the house early in the morning.

Her eyes fell on the candy box, "This candy box..."

Nan Guang said "Ah" and felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly hid the candy box behind his back and said falteringly: "This candy, this candy..."

"I bought it for my sister, right?" Nan Yan said lonely, "I know you love her, so you should, you should buy candy to coax her."

Saying so, the eye circles suddenly turned red.

Nan Guang panicked, "Yan'er misunderstood, this candy is not for your sister, it is for you! Take it quickly, don't cry, it's so distressing!"

Nan Yan hugged the candy box he stuffed over, feeling very wronged: "Grandmother loves my sister, I went to pay her respects this morning, and I couldn't even enter her yard...Daddy, my sister is loved by many people, but I only have you... "

Sobbing, she threw herself into Nan Guang's arms.

Nanguang's heart is about to melt!

He couldn't help but patted her on the back pityingly,

"Poor thing, I'll talk to your grandmother tomorrow to explain the truth. They are both father's daughters, so how can you favor one over the other?"

Nan Yan wiped away her tears, and held his sleeve carefully, "Daddy, can I have lunch with you? The dishes sent by the kitchen are all clear soup and little water. My daughter is going to have a hard time... ..."

"Come on, I'll take you out to eat out!"

"Can you bring your mother? Our family hasn't eaten together for several days."

"Okay!"

The father and daughter left the garden talking and laughing.

Octagonal gazebo.

Nan Baoyi was leaning on the red lacquered pillar, her fair and delicate face was full of sadness.

The fingernails unconsciously scratched the vermilion lacquer, her father and Liu's family are a family, so what is she?

His ears were so soft, Nan Yan cried a few words, and he gave Nan Yan the candy box he gave her...

It's been like this all these years, he lives outside every day, enjoying himself, and when he has reunion dinners with Liu Shi and the others during festivals, he probably never would have guessed that there is still a little daughter in the mansion, and he is looking forward to him returning to the mansion to see her alone...

The onion-like nails were scraped off, and blood oozed from the fingertips, causing her to withdraw her hand in pain.

Her tender bun face wrinkled into a ball, she walked out of the gazebo listlessly.

He Ye struggled, "Miss, have you practiced this word yet?"

"Help me practice. Remember to hand over the 20 sheets of big characters to the second elder brother for inspection. He Ye, I asked you to practice calligraphy for your own good."

He Ye was speechless all of a sudden.

She's messing with whoever she is, and she doesn't like reading and writing either!

Telling her to practice twenty big characters is better than asking her to chop firewood in the backyard!

On the rockery at the back of the gazebo, Xiao Yi sat carelessly, holding a cup of hot wolfberry tea in his hand.

He watched Nan Baoyi go away expressionlessly.

The little girl's bright yellow skirt was lifted by the spring breeze, and the color was more beautiful than the peonies on both sides of the road.

Her frail shoulders trembled slightly as she walked, perhaps secretly crying.

Shi Ku came out of the rockery cave and said in a low voice: "Master, there is nothing in the garden. Over the years, we have searched every pavilion and pavilion in Nan's house, and even searched the bushes and rockery. Get up and search, but there is no clue... The humble official suspects that that thing is not in Nan's house at all."

Xiao Yi's knuckles tapped lightly on the edge of the teacup, and the crisp sound was like hitting gold and jade.

"master?"

"There is still a place I haven't searched."

"Master, please clarify!"

"Ancestral hall."

Shi Ku was stunned for a moment, "This...isn't it good? After all, it is the resting place of the ancestors, if you go in rashly and disturb the gods..."

Xiao Yi glanced at him coldly.

Shi Ku shivered, and hurriedly bowed his head in agreement.

He was about to do it, Xiao Yi knocked on the teacup, and said: "I still have to stay in Nan's house for two years, this is not urgent. You go to Shijinji to buy a candy box first."

"What to buy?!"

Ten bitter shock.
