Chapter 221 Give Brother a Taste
After Xiao Yi washed up, breakfast was already set up in Xiaohua Hall.
Small spring rolls, scallion pancakes, shrimp balls, eel soup, beef noodles, bird’s nest porridge, etc., and of course a large pot of corn juice.
Nan Baoyi hugged the bird's nest porridge with rock sugar and ate happily.
Xiao Yi held his chin, this little girl seems to like eating bird's nest very much.
As far as he knew, bird's nest was always stewed in her small kitchen for her to eat at any time.
He leaned closer, "Give me a taste?"
Nan Baoyi held a small white porcelain spoon in his mouth.
She stared at him for a while with her watery Danfeng eyes open, thought for a while, scooped up half a bowl from the large porcelain cup on the table, and put it in front of him, "Eat it."
Xiao Yi: "..."
He even wanted to eat the bird's nest porridge in Nan Jiaojiao's bowl.
He stirred the small bowl and tasted a spoonful reluctantly.
It's so sweet, it can't really be called delicious.
Worse than corn juice.
"Why do you like to eat bird's nest?" He asked casually.
"I don't really like it, it's just bird's nest for beauty. I like to eat anything that nourishes the skin." Nan Baoyi said frankly, "I grew up in the Bashu area, of course I prefer spicy food. But the doctor said that eating too much chili is bad for the skin. Not good, so I dare not eat too much."
Xiao Yi made a "tsk".
In the world, there is no other girl who cherishes her looks as much as she does.
Jiang Suihan ate at the same table with them.
He shook the corn juice in the cup, very disgusted, "Brother Xiao, can we not drink corn juice? I want hot rice wine."
God is so pitiful, Xiao Yi has not been bewitched for some reason in the past few months, and most of the fine wine in the wine cellar of Chaowenyuan has been replaced with hoarded corn, which is said to be used for the kitchen to squeeze juice at any time.
Every day corn juice, he would vomit!
Xiao Yi personally poured Nan Baoyi a cup of corn juice.
He said slowly: "Jiaojiao likes to drink, and Benhou also likes to drink."
Jiang Suihan: "..."
Spread dog food so early in the morning,
Is it really suitable?
"But Brother Xiao, Shen Yichao and I don't like to drink corn juice. Why don't you let the maid serve a jug of wine while serving the corn juice? Ordinary rice wine will do."
he begged.
"Jiaojiao is still young and growing up, so it's not suitable for smelling wine." Xiao Yi flatly refused.
"She doesn't come to Chaowen Yuan for dinner every day!"
"Maybe it will come one day, so you have to pay attention at all times."
Jiang Suihan is so angry!
He whirled his folding fan, really wanting to slap Xiao Yi twice!
Xiao Yi squinted at him, "Stop fanning, Jiaojiao will catch the cold."
Jiang Suihan: "..."
It's early summer, if he fanned himself, would Nan Xiaowu catch the cold? !
She is made of paper!
So angry!
I'm so full, I can't eat breakfast anymore!
Nan Baoyi said warmly, "Second brother, I'm not that delicate."
"I said there is." Xiao Yi picked up her small bowl, and filled a small bowl of bird's nest for her, "There are still a lot of blood bird's nest in the Jiang Sui Han Medicine House, I asked Yu Wei to take them to your house."
"Thank you, second brother!"
"good."
Jiang Suihan: "..."
Come on, Dao Lei, kill these two together!
It is a certainty that Nanfu will be designated as an imperial merchant.
Grandmother was busy contacting people from the imperial court, while Second Uncle and the others were busy managing the bank. For a while, Nan's family was so busy that no one took care of Nan Baoyi.
She stayed at Chaowen Academy all day, and when she was tired from studying, she played chess with Xiao Yi.
Shen Yichao sat beside him with his wide sleeves wrapped around him, finally waiting for Nan Baoyi to lose the chess game, and thought of talking with his cousin for two games, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Xiao Yi said he was busy.
But when he came back later, the man who said he was busy was playing chess with Nan Baoyi again.
Playing chess, you can play chess, and you even scratch your head and pose, like a male peacock spreading its tail, it is really shameless!
He had no choice but to kneel and sit behind Nan Baoyi, pointing out a few words from time to time to get over his addiction to chess.
There is no wind today, and the sun is scorching hot.
A half-green bamboo curtain hangs by the window, blocking out most of the sunlight. The floor of the study is covered with woven bamboo mats, and cool air comes out from the copper pot and ice mirror, making the room cool and refreshing.
Under the west window, Xiao Yi was dealing with official business.
Nan Baoyi sat cross-legged behind him, and on the low table next to him was a large white crystal cup, filled with crushed ice, chilled with cherries, watermelon, red bayberry and other fruits, which were fragrant and never tired of eating.
The most rare thing is that there are fresh lychees, which were transported from Lingnan by the second uncle with a lot of money.
Nan Baoyi picked up a peeled lychee, and read a picture book while eating.
Seeing the ridiculous place, she couldn't help laughing coquettishly.
That laughter was crisp and sweet, and Xiao Yi's impatience when reviewing the military records quietly improved.
He closed the volume, raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows.
He turned to the little girl behind him, "What are you looking at, laughing like this?"
"It is said in the picture book that an emperor was happy to have a prince and rewarded his officials. An official refused to ask for the reward, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits, so the emperor said, hahahahaha!"
Nan Baoyi couldn't help pounding the table and laughing.
Xiao Yi waited for her to laugh enough before asking patiently: "What are you talking about?"
"He said...hahahahaha!"
Nan Baoyi laughed and covered his stomach, unable to speak at all, and rolled into a ball on the ground.
She finally had enough of laughing, learned to draw the characters in the book, stroked the non-existent long beard, and said with a tiger face: "Aiqing, what are you talking about?! The love concubine gave birth to a prince, of course it is my fault." Credit, how can I give you credit?!"
After speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer, and rolled on the ground laughing.
Xiao Yi hooked his lips.
"It's cold on the ground."
He picked up Nan Baoyi and took her into his arms.
He casually peeled a lychee and fed it to her, "Is it sweet?"
Nan Baoyi bit the lychee in a daze.
She raised her small face in his arms, her Danfeng eyes were as clear as water.
The palm of the powerful minister was still on her waist.
Dressed thinly in summer, she could even feel the roughness of his palm through the gauze.
I always feel that this posture seems too ambiguous, making her heart flustered...
Xiao Yi turned a blind eye to her ignorance.
He picked up the lychee from her red lips, and put it in his mouth calmly.
"Very sweet."
He compliments.
But he didn't know whether he was praising the lychees or something else.
Nan Baoyi's cheeks were flushed, he hurriedly lowered his eyes, picked up a red bayberry and stuffed it into his mouth to cover up.
Just at this moment, Shen Yichao came in from the outside.
He stared at the two of them, frowning in displeasure: "It's bright and bright, hugging and hugging, how decent is it?"
Nan Baoyi lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and hastily moved to the side of the short table to sit on his knees.
Xiao Yi twirled and helped her fingertips around her waist, and said flatly, "Why are you here?"
"Today we have received successive letters from Feiying from the thirty-two counties of Shu County. Our grain storage warehouse was burned down." Shen Yichao knelt down opposite Xiao Yi, and took out the letters from his wide sleeves one by one. , "All the granaries were spared. The shopkeepers of the rice shop reported to the officials one after another, but none of the magistrates of the thirty-two counties accepted it."
Letters are piled high with dwarf cases.
Black and white writing, each word weeping blood, shocking.
