Chapter 201 2 Brother’s Secret Letter
"grandmother!"
Nan Baoyi trotted up the steps, and as soon as he called out, he was stopped by Nanny Ji.
The old man led her to the side, and said in a gentle voice: "The old lady is getting angry, it's better for Miss Baoyi not to go in."
Nan Baoyi pretended to be well-behaved: "Nurse, I was taking Mr. Huang to the garden, but I got separated from him halfway. I don't know where he went afterwards? Could it be that grandma is angry at me for not treating guests well?"
"Of course not because of Miss Baoyi."
Mother Ji comforted her kindly, but she couldn't tell the specific reason.
It's not easy to tell the girl who hasn't left the cabinet about the embarrassing thing about Huang Shaodong's shirtless, right?
Nan Baoyi asked again: "Nurse, how is your little cousin's marriage?"
"The old lady and the Huang family are not very happy. I'm afraid this marriage can't be settled." Ji Nanny said bluntly, "Choosing a husband for the fourth girl is not buying vegetables after all, so you can't rush it for a while. According to the old slave, it's still worth it." We have to watch each other slowly."
"That's the truth. Although I am young, I know that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What's more, I also hope that my little cousin can stay in the house and stay with me for two more years!"
After Nan Baoyi finished speaking, he left in a good mood.
Huang Yin is not good enough for her little cousin, she must do it herself in the future, and choose a prestigious marriage for her little cousin!
The day has come to the Lantern Festival.
Lanterns are hung everywhere in Nanfu. Palace lanterns, animal head lanterns, flower lanterns, bird lanterns, and revolving horse lanterns can be seen everywhere. The degree of colorfulness is no less than that of a market.
There are riddles pasted on the lamp, and if you guess the answer, you can take off the paper and find the answer to the old housekeeper.
When counting in the middle of the night, the person who guesses the most riddles will be rewarded.
This is the Lantern Festival custom of the Nan family for more than two hundred years, and all maids and servants can participate, regardless of their status.
So it was only in the evening that the maids had already taken out their new dresses, dressed up more beautifully than before, and went to the garden in a beautiful manner.
Nan Baoyi helped He Ye put on a pearl-collecting golden step, and said with a smile: "My lotus leaf is very beautiful to dress up! You don't have to follow me tonight, go to the garden and guess the lantern riddles by yourself."
He Ye was reluctant, "In the past, the slaves followed you, how could this year be an exception? There are so many people in the garden, what if a guy with no eyes bumps into you?!"
Nan Baoyi groaned.
She glanced at the ink jade bamboo knot hanging under the window.
Yesterday morning, she received a secret letter from her second brother asking her to watch lanterns and guess lantern riddles together tonight.
For some reason, she really didn't want He Ye to follow her...
Just her and Mr. Quanchen, eating glutinous rice balls and admiring the lanterns, how wonderful!
She coaxed: "Good lotus leaf, I've grown up, I won't be bumped into!"
"Impossible! Madam said when she was alive that the servants should take good care of the miss. Therefore, the servants must follow you every step of the way!"
He Ye clenched her fists, with an expression of death.
Nan Baoyi wanted to cry.
She reluctantly agreed to let He Ye follow, and secretly waited until she went to the garden, and then found an excuse to distract her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the dormitory, Nan Baozhu came with the young man.
"Jiaojiao, I'll come to you to watch lanterns and guess lantern riddles together." Nan Baozhu took her hand affectionately, "We sisters must play well, fight for the first place bravely! Get the reward, we two Even split!"
Nan Baoyi: "..."
But she has an appointment with the powerful minister!
Wronged!
When he was about to leave Songhe Courtyard, Cheng Yerou and Nanguang came.
Cheng Yerou was well aware of Nan Baoyi's status in Nan's family, and knew that if she could be dealt with, the old lady could be dealt with, so she treated her very amiably: "Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, the garden is very lively. I have an appointment with your father, and we want to meet Jiaojiao Appreciating the lanterns together is also a reunion of our little family."
Ever since Nan Guang married Cheng Yerou, his temperament has changed.
He interlocked fingers with Cheng Yerou, smiling gently: "Yes Jiaojiao, your mother misses you and is afraid that you will be lonely on Lantern Festival, so we all come to accompany you for the festival, are you happy?"
Nan Baoyi: "..."
I haven't seen her father get close before, but now that she has something to do, he is rushing to get close.
It is said that the daughter is the lover of the father in the previous life, but she is different. She is probably the enemy of her father, or the kind who digs up the graves of the ancestors.
With so many people around, how can she whisper to the powerful minister...
She wants to talk to him so much!
She rubbed her small handkerchief, and followed out of Songheyuan in distress.
When I came to the garden, it was already dusk.
The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is endless, and all kinds of lanterns are lit. The huge garden is like a sea of gilded lights.
Nan Baoyi walked forward with his father, looking around from time to time, but he never saw the figure of the powerful minister.
Is he not coming tonight?
The girl felt lost, and when Nan Baozhu grabbed her hand and showed her the biggest revolving lantern in surprise, she hurriedly showed a sweet smile.
The young man she cared about still stayed in Chaowenyuan.
The bedroom was lit with candles.
Xiao Yi was sitting on the couch, wearing thin pajamas, and he didn't even comb his hair well.
He rolled his sleeves expressionlessly.
The maids knelt all over the ground, each holding a set of brocade robes in their hands.
Mu Shi is also covered with robes.
It was all Xiao Yi's replacement after he tried it and was dissatisfied.
Yu Wei came in from the outside with tea, glanced at the messy inner room, then at his master's gloomy face, and immediately saw through his thoughts.
It was the first time for the master to ask Baoyi girl to watch the lantern, because he thought the clothes were not good-looking enough.
She put down the tea with a smile: "The lantern show in the garden has already started. If the master doesn't go there, he won't be able to catch up with the lantern riddles. Miss Baoyi, I'm still waiting for the master."
She picked up a dark red brocade gown with narrow sleeves and round neck, "Master always wears a black gown in the past, why don't you try this dark red one tonight. The sleeves and neckline are embroidered with precious flowers with gold thread, which is low-key yet elegant." Luxurious, noble yet stable, with this leather and jade-inlaid gold belt, it can best bring out the master's complexion."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
After serving him for many years, Yu Wei knew what he meant.
She stepped forward with a smile and knelt down respectfully: "Master, please try on the clothes!"
garden.
Nan Baoyi sat alone next to the beauty beside the small stone bridge, holding a rabbit lamp, feeling very depressed.
On her left, Nan Baozhu and Ning Wanzhou were guessing riddles.
Nan Baozhu: "'An old man, if he doesn't run away, if you ask him to sleep, he just shakes his head', what is this?"
Ning Wanzhou: "Tumbler."
Nan Baozhu: "Wow, Wanwan is amazing, I want to hug you!"
Ning Wanzhou: "I refuse."
"Hold!"
Nan Baozhu hugged him tightly.
In the light and shadow of the lantern, the thirteen-year-old boy quietly blushed his ears.
On her right, Cheng Yerou is having sex with her father.
Cheng Yerou: "Ah Guang is awesome, he can guess such a difficult riddle!"
Nan Guang: "Hahaha, your husband and I have always been great, not only in guessing riddles!"
