After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

next morning.

Nan Baoyi dressed properly and got on the carriage to Xiafu.

The three sisters were all there, and the carriage was very lively.

Nan Baozhu was eating sugar cakes, and somehow mentioned Nan Baorong's marriage: "Zhang Yuanwang looks like a dog, but in fact he is really unreliable. Let me say that it is a big deal for my eldest sister to divorce him." Quite the right thing."

Nan Baoyi was full of curiosity.

After the cousin helped the eldest sister last time, he was busy going to Jiangnan to do business.

Now that half a year has passed, I don't know how the two are progressing, which is really worrying.

She tentatively said: "Eldest sister will reach the age of Ji this year, logically she should be ready to get married, but is there anyone who is close to her?"

Nan Baorong grabbed the handkerchief in embarrassment, "You two are little girls, how can you talk about getting married? It's against women's morals to talk about it..."

"My mother said that women's morality is for others to see. How can gaining a good reputation be as important as being comfortable?" Nan Baozhu plausibly said, "Big sister, you are not young, you should look after others!"

Nan Baoyi couldn't help laughing.

The second aunt was born in an escort agency, with a bold and unrestrained personality, so she naturally didn't think that women's behavior was a good thing.

Maybe this kind of thinking is deviant, but she secretly feels that the second aunt is right!

She smiled and said: "Big sister, my cousin is also considered a young talent, there are not a few girls who covet him, you have to hurry up!"

Nan Baorong was stunned.

At first, she only had red ears, but gradually her cheeks turned red.

She lowered her head, like a shy water lily that cannot bear the cool breeze.

Nan Baoyi watched, secretly happy.

If a girl blushes when she hears a boy's name, then she must like that boy very much.

Big sister and cousin, there is a play!

The carriage stopped outside Xiafu.

The second aunt came out of another carriage and greeted them: "Xia Mansion serves wine, and there are people everywhere. You must follow me closely, don't run around, let alone cause trouble."

The three should go down.

Nan Baoyi stepped into the threshold and quietly looked around.

The Xia Mansion is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards, verandas, pavilions, gardens and flowing water, all of which are exquisite.

Every few steps, you will meet business partners. The second aunt greets each other in front, and they will obediently greet each other with the little girl next to each other.

Finally walked to the flower hall where the female relatives were, and before entering, I heard laughter from inside:

"I have long heard that Miss Nanyan is extremely charming and she is a rare and wonderful person in Shu County. I saw her today, as expected! Even if I stand with the three daughters of the Nan family, I am afraid that Miss Nanyan is even better! I don't know. Did the girl talk about marriage? I love being a matchmaker the most in my life, and I have several rich men waiting to lead the red line!"

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows.

She looked at the second aunt, who looked gloomy, obviously angry.

She knew that the daughters of their Nanfu didn't go out to socialize very much these years, but Nan Yan, who went around drinking banquets as a maid from the Nanfu, didn't think it was shabby.

The world regards thinness as beauty, and thin beauties with poems and books are most admired.

Nan Yan was born beautiful and weak, coupled with his gentle conversation, he could attract a lot of goodwill.

Therefore, many people in Shu County only know that the concubine daughters of Nanfu are both outstanding and talented, but they think that the daughters of Nanfu are stupid, stupid and full of copper stink.

Nan Yan's delicate voice came out:

"The important matter of marriage is the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Yan'er dare not talk about it, thank you for your kindness!"

Nan Baoyi was funny.

Nan Yan's eyes are high!

If the aunt leading the red thread had introduced her to a young man like Cheng De, she would probably have answered innocently, holding a handkerchief, "Auntie, please discuss with my mother, Yan'er dare not speak up." .

But the people in the hall all praised Nan Yan for being knowledgeable and reasonable.

Some people even regret that she doesn't have a good status, otherwise she should be the one who is engaged to the Cheng family.

The second aunt stepped into the threshold and said loudly: "I don't know, but you are so concerned about my Nan family's affairs?"

The discussion immediately died down.

Those present were all relatives who were related to the Xia family, as well as some wealthy merchants, many of whom had never met Nan Fu's daughter.

They looked at the three sisters carefully.

The eldest is dignified and elegant like a delicate flower shining in the water, the second is round and jade-like like Tang Taizhen, the third is the most wonderful, a young girl in the age of golden hairpin, charming but not charming, gorgeous but not vulgar, like a delicate hibiscus with dew in the sun, one glance Looking at it, my eyes are like washing with water.

Comparing with Nan Yan, she is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she reveals the craftsmanship and charm of careful carving, lacking the innocence and delicacy of a girl.

From the progeny to the concubine, the superior and the inferior stand to see each other.

Nan Yan lowered her eyes.

She is well versed in people's hearts, so she naturally understands the meaning of these people's eyes.

Jealousy flashed across her eyes, and she whispered to Xia Qingqing, "We have to find a chance to ask Nan Baoyi where your cousin went."

Xia Qingqing nodded, stood up and said, "It's boring here, Nan Baoyi, I'll take you to the back garden to play. It's the season of hibiscus blooming, my father spent a lot of money to buy a rare hibiscus, let's go and enjoy it. "

Jinguan City is also known as "Furong City".

According to legend, in the Later Shu Dynasty, Emperor Meng Chang preferred hibiscus flowers and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees on the city wall. When the flowers bloomed, Jinguan City was beautiful for forty miles, so it was known as "Furong City".

Later, in the golden autumn season, it became a custom here to enjoy the hibiscus.

Nan Baoyi and other young girls followed Xia Qingqing to the back garden.

In the center of the garden stood a sandalwood flower stand, and on the flower stand was a sterling silver flowerpot, in which there was indeed a half-person-high hibiscus planted.

The hibiscus flower is as big as a bowl, with overlapping petals, pure white and moving.

"This is called silver silk hibiscus. My father bought it for five thousand taels of silver. There is no one out there!" Xia Qingqing glanced at Nan Baoyi triumphantly, "Does your family have such a precious hibiscus?"

As we all know, the Nan family is illiterate, and can't even appreciate exotic flowers and plants. It's very vulgar!

When everyone was waiting to see the joke, Nan Baoyi sneered and said: "This kind of bowl-shaped hibiscus is really rare...but bowl-shaped gardenias and peonies are everywhere! Miss Xia, are you afraid It was tricked by the gardener!"

"You—" Xia Qingqing was furious, "A person like you is not worthy of admiring famous flowers!"

Nan Baoyi made a face at her.

After admiring the silver silk hibiscus, the girls went to play with the handkerchiefs they had made in twos and threes. Nan Baorong was weak, so Nan Baozhu helped her to rest in a distant building.

Nan Baoyi knew that Xia Qingqing and Nan Yan had something to ask her.

So she walked unhurriedly to a remote wisteria alley.

Not far away, Xia Qingqing's voice came from behind:

"Nan Baoyi, stop for me!"

Nan Baoyi turned around, "What do you want me to do?"

Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth: "Have you ever met my cousin?!"

"cousin?"

"Xia Bowen, the one with pustules all over his face!"

Nan Baoyi was at a loss, "I'm a well-educated lady who abides by the rules. How could I meet a foreigner?"
