After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

She brought out the fish soup graciously, "I tasted it very delicious, and immediately thought of my second brother. You study hard, so you have to make up for it."

Xiao Yi took the small white porcelain cup she handed over.

After taking a mouthful of soup, he sneered: "Nan Baoyi, honor me with the soup made by my maid?"

Nan Baoyi was shy, "Look at what the second brother said, doesn't it mean that I have you in my heart? What's more, the fish soup is nourishing. If you drink too much, you will become smarter, so the second brother should drink more!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that what he said was not good, as if Xiao Yi was so stupid.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn't argue with her.

She leaned against the desk with her face in her hands, and said in a childish voice, "Second brother, what book are you reading recently? The imperial examination will be in two years, you have to prepare well."

Blinking Danfeng's eyes, she said again: "Second brother, the Huachao Festival is at the end of the month, and I plan to participate in the competition of Huachao event. It's just that the threshold questions of the competition are related to the Four Books and Five Classics. I'm stupid, and I'm afraid I can't answer well. Can you teach me to read?"

"cannot."

Xiao Yi was expressionless.

Nan Baoyi secretly rolled his eyes.

I knew he would refuse!

She turned her hands back, and the old god was pacing on the ground, "The last time I met my fourth brother studying in the mansion, he repeated a sentence, what is the way of university, in Ming Mingde... what is close to the people, what is the best..."

"The way of a university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be good."

"Yes, yes, that's the sentence!" Nan Baoyi slapped his hands, his eyes sparkling, "I heard that this sentence is very famous, do you think Hua Chao Sheng will use it as a threshold question?"

She knew very well that Huachao Shenghui did not use it as a threshold question.

On the contrary, it is the imperial examination and the township examination, which is the test of policy theory.

The reason why I remember it clearly is that Cheng De took part in the provincial examination, and after the examination, he wrote out the answers to his policy theory for people to read, and received unanimous praise. Everyone knew that the second son of the Cheng family was full of economics and was expected to win.

In the end, the results of the township examination came out, and it was indeed Cheng De that took the first place in the examination.

Back then, she and You Rongyan obviously didn't like reading, but she still read his answer sheet over and over again, and she can still recall the content of the answer sheet to this day.

She couldn't return 10,000 taels of silver to Xiao Yi, so she could only use this roundabout way to leak the exam questions to him.

But Xiao Yi didn't care, "The grand gathering of the Hua Dynasty is just a pastime for the rich and powerful, and the threshold question will not be complicated."

"The imperial examination, will you take such questions? If you pass the exam, how will the second brother answer?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Nan Baoyi.

The little girl ran to the desk again, resting her chin on her hands, and the gold braided hairbands on her flat buns were a little loose, very naughty and cute.

After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and took off her hair tie.

The little girl's hair was thin and soft, flowing down from his palm, feeling like silk.

She tilted her head puzzled.

Baozi's face is white and tender, his red phoenix eyes are slender and charming, his small mouth is like a red cherry, and he can vaguely see his peerless beauty when he grows up.

Xiao Yi remembered that when he was having tea in a restaurant, everyone praised Nan Maomao's daughter as extremely beautiful, but he felt that in two years' time, the most beautiful girl in Jinguan City must be Nan Baoyi.

"Second brother, what are you doing with my hair?"

The little girl is not happy.

Xiao Yi came back to his senses.

He saw that the little girl's hairband was loose just now, and he wanted to tighten it up for her, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he immediately loosened her hair.

"Second brother hates me the most..."

The little girl was softly coquettish, turned her back and walked to a bronze mirror, took out two new hair ties from her wide sleeves, and combed her hair diligently.

Xiao Yi looked at her.

Her hair was beautiful when it was loose, better than when it was combed.

He watched Nan Baoyi tie up his hair slowly, and felt the urge to take it off for her again.

"Miss!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the lotus leaf outside the study.

Nan Baoyi brushed the broken hair on his forehead, "What's the matter? I'm studying with my second brother."

He Ye pushed open the door in embarrassment, "There is news from the front yard that the third master does not eat or drink all day long, and no one can persuade him... The servant is worried that something will happen to the third master, so come over and tell the lady, do you want to go and see? "

"My uneasy father!"

Nan Baoyi sighed, picked up Xiao Yi's fish soup, took a sip, and went to the front yard with He Ye.

Xiao Yi still held the two hair ties.

The headband is exquisite, braided with gold and red threads, noble and clean.

He looked down and sniffed.

It seems that there is still a little girl's unique hibiscus fragrance left on it.

He was silent for a long time, and wrapped the hair tie around his wrist like a ghost.

...

forecourt.

Nan Baoyi pushed open the door.

The room was quiet, and a few lamps were lit behind the screen, vaguely reflecting the figure reclining on the wide couch.

She walked over with the food box, "Daddy."

Nan Guang turned to face the wall and ignored her.

"I heard that you don't eat or drink. My daughter is very worried. She made fish soup and came to visit you."

Nan Guang cried in a hoarse voice: "You all don't see me well, I know it in my heart... I just want to marry Xiaomeng, why is it so difficult?"

"There is no one in the house who can't see you well."

"Then why don't you let me marry Xiaomeng?!" Nanguang suddenly sat up, "Speaking of which, you are just jealous that I have obtained true love, and that I and Xiaomeng are in love with each other!"

Nan Baoyi shook off goose bumps all over the place.

She touched her cheeks, her teeth were going to be soured by him...

She sat down at the round table and took out the fish soup, "As you saw with your own eyes, grandma clearly allowed Aunt Liu to come in, but it's a pity that Aunt Liu herself was dishonest and hid the matter of selling her life from us. Who can blame this?"

The fish soup is delicious.

Nan Baoyi stirred the fish soup and drank a spoonful by himself, "If you don't want to eat, then be so hungry, and eat it whenever you want. Well, this soup is really fresh."

When drinking the second spoon, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Yi had used this spoon.

She pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and put down the spoon calmly.

Nanguang was too hungry for a long time.

Holding his hungry stomach, he glanced at the fish soup greedily.

After a while, he licked his mouth, "Since you are begging to eat for your father, then satisfy your filial piety for your father!"

He couldn't wait to walk to the table, he didn't even bother to use the spoon, picked up the small cup and drank it clean.

Nan Baoyi couldn't help laughing.

She thoughtfully wiped the soup from the corners of Nan Guang's mouth, "You are a big man now, you can't just want to be happy for yourself, but also think about your grandmother. Aunt Liu is not a good person. You can tell from her concealment of the contract of sale that she has a lot of money." Thoughts. Don't be obsessed with your obsession, our family can live a stable life, isn't it better than anything else?"
