Chapter 217: Less Than Jiaojiaomei
Nan Chengli was inexplicably hit with a few sticks, and bowed his hands sadly: "Grandmother, the child is wrong. The second brother is young and passionate, and it is a good time to make achievements. You should not indulge in the love of your children. Cough, second brother, you can do it in the future." Take it easy."
He returned to his seat, and Nan Guang came in again with a smile.
"Greetings to my mother. Taking care of Jing'er in the front yard wasted some time."
He cupped his hands, then turned to Xiao Yi, "I heard that my second nephew traveled with the beauty last night, and even slapped Governor Xue in the face with great fanfare? Hehe, it's not me, an elder, who scolded you, it's bad for a young man to be crazy! Xue Da Dudu, is that someone our family can afford to offend? He wants to marry his fat daughter to you, and you marry it, so why do you have to fight him? That is the daughter of the governor of Zhenxi, and you can't go too far! "
With an exaggerated tone, he wished Xiao Yi could join Xue's family as soon as possible.
As long as Xiao Yi joins Xue's family, he can ride his horse boldly with confidence!
"Third, come here."
The old lady said quietly.
Nan Guang walked over beamingly: "Mother!"
The old lady picked up her crutches and gave him two sticks, "You think Xiao Yi is just like you, a coward?! Ask him to marry him, why don't you marry someone else?!"
Nan Guang was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Nan Baoyi, "Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Saying so, he murmured in his heart.
If Rou Rou let him marry into Cheng's family, he would bring his bag and marry immediately without saying a word.
That's the prefect's mansion!
Nan Guang deeply regrets Xiao Yi's inability to join Xue's family.
The old lady was very angry.
One or two didn't make her worry, as expected, her granddaughter and daughter-in-law were caring!
She looked at Xiao Yi with cold eyes: "The little fairy of Yulouchun, isn't she beautiful?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
This question is a delivery question.
After a while, he said seriously, "Not as beautiful as Jiaojiao."
This is still like a human saying.
The old madam was worried, and said again: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Xiao Yi glanced at Nan Baoyi.
The little girl looked guilty, and Danfeng stared at him with watery eyes, as if she was afraid that he would betray her by telling the truth.
He pursed his thin lips into a small smile.
He is a man.
Even if he ruined his reputation, he would not ask Nan Jiaojiao to take the blame and be scolded.
His face was watery, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought the goblin to the banquet, and I shouldn't have been a flirtatious dandy. Please punish me, grandma."
A young man of golden appearance and jade quality is frank and upright, and his attitude of admitting mistakes is very good.
The old lady didn't want to punish him again, so she waved her hand and told him to go back to her seat.
Xiao Yi sat down calmly, and picked up the tea bowl brought by the maid.
The gold-painted jade bowl is like amber, the ups and downs of new tea are like jasper, and the fragrance of tea is lingering.
He smiled: "A sparrow?"
Sparrow tongue is a rare bud tea. There is a poem in the ancients: "Cook sparrow tongue in a jade pot, and inject dragon balls in a golden bowl." It is a very precious tea, and the word "tender" is the most important.
The old lady is a tea lover, and said with a smile: "Among the crowd, you are the only one with eyesight. This spring's sparrow tongue was sent from northern Guizhou in a hurry. Try it."
"Hiss...ha!"
Nanguang has already drunk the bottom of the sky in one breath.
He smacked his lips: "Mother, what tongue did you just say?"
The old lady was annoyed when she saw him.
The cow drank in one breath, wasting her good tea in vain.
She ordered: "Come here, change the third master's tea."
The maid immediately changed Nanguang to a cup of the most common green tea, the kind that costs three pennies a bowl in tea shops in the market.
Nan Guang took a long sip without hesitation, and praised: "Mother, this tea is still good to drink! After drinking the bottom of the tea, you can take it back and eat scrambled eggs!"
Cheng Yerou felt ashamed and silently turned her face away.
Nan Baoyi also felt ashamed.
She turned her head to watch Xiao Yi sipping tea.
Mr. Quanchen is wearing a homely Zhangdan yellow brocade robe today, and his posture of drinking tea is full of beauty, much more eye-catching than her father.
Looking at it, she felt a little guilty.
It was all because of her that the second elder brother was reprimanded by his grandmother today.
So she told the maid: "Go to the small kitchen and bring a pot of corn juice, the second brother likes to drink that."
Hearing the word "corn juice", Xiao Yi slightly shook his hand holding the tea bowl.
Nan Baoyi raised his cheeks with crooked eyebrows, "Second Brother, am I considered considerate?"
Being stared at by everyone in the room, Xiao Yi paused every word: "Jiaojiao is really...very considerate."
Can't this girl completely forget about the corn juice? !
While talking in the hall, Mother Ji came in from the outside.
Her face was ugly: "Old madam, someone came to the house and said it was from the Ruyi pawn shop."
"Pawn shop?"
The old lady was stunned.
The person who came was the proprietress of the pawn shop.
She dressed neatly and gave a salute with a smile, "May Mrs. Nan be well! It's really unavoidable to come to the door today, but because the girl in the house owes jewelry in my shop on credit."
Jiang said: "The girls in our house are not short of pearls and hairpins. How could they owe you credit in your shop? Among them, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."
Mrs. Gao presented an IOU, "This is an IOU written by Miss Nanyan from your mansion. It is agreed to return to the jewelry early this morning, but I waited in the shop, but I couldn't wait for her. I am worried about her. Something happened, so I came to visit specially."
People in the hall have different expressions.
What visits? Mrs. Gao clearly came to ask for debts.
Their family has a good reputation for a hundred years, and they have never been called to collect debts. They did not expect that the first time it was because of Nan Yan.
The old lady's face was ugly.
Nan Yan, really gave her a long face!
Angry in her heart, she ordered the maid: "Go, call Nan Yan over."
Two quarters of an hour later, Nan Rou came over with red eye circles.
She greeted her softly and softly, but before she opened her mouth, Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "Miss Nanyan, when do you plan to return those pearls and hairpins you borrowed from my shop?"
Nan Yan's cheeks were burning hot as the public was being demanded for debts.
She lowered her eyes and returned the wrapped jewelry to Mrs. Gao.
Gao Niangzi opened it to check, and then said loudly: "Miss Nanyan, where did the most precious gemstone hairpin go? Do you want to be greedy?"
Nan Yan tightly squeezed her hands.
If in the past, how could she have cared about that little gem hairpin, but because she is down and out now, she went to the pawn shop to borrow jewelry to support her facade!
But this little pawn shop woman dares to criticize herself!
Her face was as red as a drop of blood, and when she was about to refute, Cheng Yerou said, "Su'er, take Mrs. Gao to go outside to make money. The gemstone hairpin is twice as much as the money, and I will pay her twice."
The maid responded with a smile.
Gao Niangzi happily left the flower hall with the maid, only Nan Yan was left standing there in embarrassment.
Cheng Yerou caressed the teacup gently, "If you did something wrong, you should tell me when you came back last night, so that I can pay back the money for you in advance, so as not to hurt the whole family's reputation. You are good, you went back to the dormitory quietly, and now you are being killed by someone early in the morning Come to collect debts and spread your reputation, isn't it good?!"
