Chapter 216 Brother buys it for you
Xiao Yi took a sip of corn juice.
He said warmly: "Light and pretty, like a flying swallow in the Han Palace, as beautiful as such, unparalleled."
Nan Baoyi blushed instantly.
"Second brother is really..." She looked embarrassed, "What a big truth!"
The bitterness of kneeling behind the two people, silently lowering their heads.
If you turn a few circles, can it also be called "so beautiful, unparalleled"?
Master is clearly showing off his pampering girl!
As the night banquet approached, Xue Mei said seriously: "As we all know, the climate in Shu County is abnormal. In the past two days, it has caused heavy snow to freeze many crops and crushed many houses and fields. I am the daughter of Governor Xue, so I naturally have to consider the people. So tonight, a special auction was set up to ask the women present to donate jewelry or collections at home for auction. All the money earned will be used to provide disaster relief."
After she finished speaking, everyone in the field praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted.
The incident of stepping on the cowhide drum just now was tacitly revealed.
This auction was also stated on the invitation early in the morning.
Therefore, the women were prepared and took out the brocade boxes they brought.
Nan Baoyi signaled that Yang Liu would also be taken out.
She looked at Nan Yan again.
Nan Yan knelt there with a speechless face.
She had never read the post and had no idea that she had to donate jewelry to attend the night banquet!
If she knew, she wouldn't come!
She raised her hand and touched the gem hairpin.
This hairpin and other jewelry she wore were borrowed by the maid from the pawn shop.
If she cannot return it on time tomorrow, the shopkeeper will not only come to Nanfu, but will even announce the entire Jinguan City, saying that Nan Yan will borrow things and refuse to return it!
At that time, where did she put her face?!
The Cheng family will also laugh at her!
When she was panicked, she had a flash of inspiration.
She smiled softly and said to Xue Mei: "Miss Xue, my little girl is not talented and has learned to manage accounts. If you don't dislike it, the little girl will help you collect and register those pearls and hairpins and jewelry, right?"
As long as she collects pearls and hairpins and jewelry, no one will ask her if she wants to donate things.
Xue Mei nodded: "Go."
Nan Yan stood up, led a group of maids, and went to collect the brocade box in a smooth manner.
The auction was held on the second floor of the Painting Building.
Middle-aged and elderly people led by Governor Xue were not interested in the auction of such young children, so they stayed in the hall to continue to eat wine.
The young master and the young lady of the aristocratic family moved to the second floor.
Xiao Yi was not interested in the auction either.
Nan Baoyi held his hand and raised his head to act coquettishly: "Second brother, I want to buy jewelry."
She hasn't visited the jewelry shop on Furong Street for a long time. She finally had the opportunity to squander money tonight, so she naturally had to seize it.
She likes all kinds of crystal clear gems the most, and has collected two boxes.
If I could meet the color of the gem she had not collected tonight, I would definitely have to buy it.
Xiao Yi glanced at her.
I heard that the crow likes to hold shiny things into the nest, but I didn’t expect that the little girl in his house also likes shiny things.
Yes, Nan Jiaojiao was born in a beautiful place and was the richest little canary in the world. Naturally, she had to have valuable things to be worthy of her.
Raising Nan Jiaojiao is very expensive.
But what he lacks the most is money.
He bent his lips and smiled: "Brother buy it for you."
The two walked upstairs and the maid respectfully rolled up the bead curtain.
The flower hall was arranged in the shape of an exhibition hall, and the guests sat in groups of three or three. Nan Baoyi paid attention and found that they seemed to be sitting with their sweethearts.
The glass lamps are staggered in height, creating a bright and dark beauty.
The powerful ministers chose the position in the corner.
She sat obediently on the inside.
Shortly after sitting down, she found that it was a coincidence that Cheng Deyu and Nan Yan were sitting across the powerful ministers.
The two of them were whispering, and Cheng Deyu was scolding Nan Yan and scolding her for not lying.
His expression was not only impatient, but also even considered cruel.
As they were arguing, Nan Yan covered her handkerchief and cried in a low voice.
She stretched her neck to watch the show.
The two of them had just gotten married, and they had a quarrel like this. What if they got married?
I don’t know how Cheng Deyu and Nan Yan fell in love with each other in my previous life...
Just as he was so excited, Cheng Deyu turned his head and looked at him.
He looked a little stunned, then he curled the cruelty and ferociousness, and still showed the unique gentleness of the young man in the official family, and nodded politely to her.
Nan Baoyi was thinking about whether to give him a hypocritical greeting, but the powerful minister pressed her head back inside.
He looked straight ahead with a blank expression, "Don't move around, it's about to start."
Nan Baoyi touched her head and said "Oh".
The first auction item was a pair of red gold bracelets.
Nan Baoyi didn't care because she didn't have too many gold bracelets.
The second item sold is a long-lived Ruyi gold collar.
Xiao Yi glanced at Nan Baoyi, and the little girl shook her head secretly, obviously not looking down on such a person.
Yes, the carved patterns on the collar are not as delicate as the little girl's anklets.
Between the two, Nan Yan was moved.
She also had a golden collar, but was dragged down by Liu Xiaomeng. When she redeemed her for her, she took it to pawn shop.
She looked at Cheng Deyu eagerly and whispered: "Brother Cheng, this golden collar..."
Cheng Deyu said lightly: "Don't you wear one on your neck?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips.
The gold collar around her neck was borrowed, not her own!
She didn't give up and gently grabbed her skirt, looking like a pear blossom with rain: "Since she got engaged to Brother Cheng, you have never given me a pearl hairpin jewelry."
Cheng Deyu stroked his broad sleeves, "You have a pretty face and look vulgar when wearing gold utensils."
Nan Yan: "…"
After all, I found a lot of excuses, but I was reluctant to spend money on her.
What is the use of her to want this fiancé?!
The third item sold is a crystal clear white jade gourd.
Xiao Yi noticed that the little girl's eyes lit up suddenly.
The white jade gourd is priced at 500 taels of silver.
This thing is expensive and cannot be worn, so the noble ladies on the scene have no interest, so Xiao Yi directly took it for a price of 1,000 taels of silver.
Nan Yan looked around, her eyes unable to hide her envy.
The fourth item is a gem with blue starry sky.
The baby's fist is so big, pure and flawless, with deep colors, and beautiful like stars.
Even if you look at the world, this kind of sapphire is very rare.
Nan Baoyi likes rare and expensive things.
Her eyes were brighter than the stars, and she excitedly grabbed Xiao Yi's sleeve: "I want that! That color is rare, I just miss one!"
This gem is priced at 2,000 taels of silver.
Cheng Deyu looked at Nan Baoyi's coquettish look and shouted in a silly manner: "Two thousand two hundred taels."
Nan Yan was stunned.
Did Cheng Deyu buy it for her?
Yes, he said she was not suitable for wearing goldware, and he certainly felt that the sapphire was more suitable for her.
This gem is much more expensive than a gold collar...
She flew on her cheeks, her voice softly: "Brother Cheng, this gem..."
