Chapter 242 The Nan Family Ranks Among the Top!
Xiao Yi stood quietly under the tree, his dark black robe fluttering in the cold wind, and his sharp red phoenix eyes, which were more chilling and cold than the dark branches in winter.
Nan Baoyi didn't seem to notice that he was angry.
She smiled and wiped the snow off his shoulders: "Second brother, are you jealous and are you following us? Then you have seen that there is nothing between me and Yuchi."
Xiao Yi held her hand: "Next time, don't whisper to other men, I don't like it."
He held Nan Baoyi's wrist with too much force and it hurt.
Nan Baoyi frowned.
It was just a whisper, and she didn't feel like she had crossed the line.
Thinking of the Nan family's ancestral files that she read last night, she felt a surge of anger in her heart for no reason.
She raised her eyelashes and spoke very slowly, as if she was considering her words: "Second brother is... ordering me?"
Xiao Yi was silent.
Nan Baoyi broke away from his hand.
The thin white fingertips traced along the man's shoulders, along his slender arms, and stopped on his shackled wrists, gently touching the bloody marks.
"Pitiful……"
She spoke softly and deliberately played with the dark chains between his hands.
The night is like splashing ink, coming from all directions.
The cold metal sound of chains colliding was more intoxicating than the cold wind.
Nan Baoyi admired Xiao Yi's gloomy and embarrassed expression, tilted his head, and said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, next time you talk to me, don't use a commanding tone. I don't like it either."
She and Xiao Yi passed by each other.
The pile of cases in Sili Yamen is more than a foot thick.
Nan Baoyi did not go to the flower hall, but went straight to the study to handle the case files.
Because she stayed with Xiao Yi for a long time, she actually developed the keen intuition of a case solver. She processed documents faster and faster, and she became more and more comfortable.
Flower Hall.
Xiao Yi had dinner alone. While washing his hands, he said coldly: "She doesn't want to eat?"
Aftertaste respectfully said: "Miss asked He Ye to pack a food box and send it directly to the study. Miss also ordered that after you finish dinner, she will take you directly back to the dormitory and let you take a hot bath before resting. Miss is right That's very kind of you."
Xiao Yi picked up a towel and wiped his hands.
The profile of his face was shrouded in shadow, and his expression was slightly cold.
One snow after another.
The day of the family review finally arrived.
It was still dark, Xiao Yi sat on the couch and looked quietly at the little girl by the window.
There was a wild goose copper lamp burning in front of the dressing table, and she was dressing up.
Wearing an official robe with dragon head and fish patterns, dark red robes and trousers tucked into military boots, a jet black leather belt stretched out his tall and slender figure, and a high ponytail was tied up with a black ribbon.
Perhaps because she was too excited, she stayed up half the night last night and was using pearl cream to cover the black spots under her eyes.
After a while, she put down the small enamel box and smiled at the mirror.
Red lips, white teeth, delicate and innocent.
She turned her head: "Second brother, after today,
My Nan family is also a top-grade family. The little cousin can be rehabilitated, the family can build a manor outside the city, and they can also raise private soldiers. With the wealth of my Nan family, what does it mean to raise two to thirty thousand soldiers and horses? "
Her eyebrows were arched.
The light fell on her dark pupils, seeming to ignite two clusters of strange golden flames.
That is the yearning for power.
Xiao Yi looked very sad: "Nan Jiaojiao——"
Nan Baoyi ran up to him.
She stretched out her slender white fingers and placed them in front of his lips.
She raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Second brother, I'm in a good mood today. Don't talk nonsense and ruin my mood."
Xiao Yi was silent and held her hand: "Shall I take a carriage to take you to the palace?"
"No need. Second brother is staying at home, waiting for my good news."
Nan Baoyi leaned forward and kissed his forehead.
She put on her sword and left the dormitory neatly.
Xiao Yi sat alone on the couch.
He touched his forehead.
The little girl is getting more and more creative now.
I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing...
Nan Baoyi rode across the street.
Today, Chang'an City is full of aristocratic families, and it is more lively than in the past. There are even many disciples who come from other places with files, just so that their families can enter.
There are seats in the main hall of the palace.
Because the Wu family was destroyed, only seven of the eight great families in Chang'an City were left.
If you want to be ranked at the top, you must get the consent of at least four aristocratic families.
Nan Baoyi presented the family files he brought to the court Zhongzheng. When he saw Empress Shen coming slowly surrounded by female officials, she immediately greeted her with a smile.
She saluted and said curiously: "What kind of facial cream does the empress use? Her skin is flawless and looks like white jade. The empress is so beautiful!"
"Flattery..."
Captain Zhao, who had been overtaken by her, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
Queen Shen chuckled: "Look at our Lord Sili's mouth. He is so articulate, as if he has eaten honey. He really knows how to talk."
"Weichen is clumsy and clumsy. What he said is true. How can he be smart?" Nan Baoyi smiled, supported Shen Jiang personally, and whispered intimately, "Weichen specially ordered his subordinates to give this to the empress two days ago. Do you like the sixty-six pieces of Sichuan brocade? The bright yellow color will definitely match your icy muscles and jade bones when used as a brocade robe."
Dayong stipulates that only emperors can use bright yellow.
The queen and the imperial concubine can only use true yellow.
Shen Jiang's smile gradually deepened.
She has been in power for many years, and Nan Baoyi is the only person who brings gifts to her heart.
She poked Nan Baoyi's forehead: "You little girl, you are so cunning..."
Nan Baoyi covered her forehead and just smiled charmingly.
The aristocratic families in the palace watched the interaction between Nan Baoyi and Queen Shen in their eyes.
Except for the Zhao family and the Wei family who were dissatisfied with Nan Baoyi, other families knew that Nan Baoyi was deeply loved by the queen, and they had to let the Nan family be promoted to a high-ranking noble family smoothly.
The evaluation proceeds in an orderly manner.
Nan Baoyi listened intently.
Some aristocratic families were ruthlessly deprived of the title of aristocratic family due to lack of prestige and lack of talent in the family. Their children cried on the spot and were dragged out of the palace by the Jinwu Guards, showing the embarrassment of being slaughtered pigs.
She lowered her head and peeled the orange for Queen Shen nervously.
Another hour passed, and finally it was the Nan family's turn.
The eunuch read out the yellowed family file in front of everyone.
The ancestor of the Nan family, originally named Jimo Lian, had followed him as early as when the founding emperor of Dayong was still a bastard in Jinling City.
Later, when Emperor Dayong went to war in the south and north, Jimo Lian helped mobilize food and supplies, and also donated countless military salaries. He obviously made great contributions, but after the unification of the world, he resigned from his official position and retired to Jinguan City.
So Emperor Dayong specially gave Jimo Lian the surname "Nan" to remind him not to forget the past and friendship in the South.
He even gave the Tianshu token to the Nan family to protect the Nan family for hundreds of years.
The whole hall was silent.
The aristocratic families looked at each other, dumbfounded.
No one expected that the Nan family would have such an illustrious past!
Nan Baoyi lowered his eyelashes and played with a copper coin in his sleeve.
After more than two hundred years of history, the copper coins are severely worn. The front is engraved with "Gold and Jade Mantang" and the back is engraved with "Great Yong in the Great Age".
She found this from under her second brother's pillow last night.
It turns out that Tianshu should have belonged to her family.
If her second brother had not taken away the Tianshu Token in the previous life, would her family not have been destroyed?

Sorry, I'm late to check for typos.
I will draw thirty small red envelopes for everyone.
