Chapter 224: The Dowry of the Past Life
Nan Baoyi put down the teacup, supported his cheek with one hand, and Danfeng looked at him with bright eyes: "Do you think, I am good-looking, or the third princess is good-looking?" ”
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.
This is a proposition.
He replied without hesitation: "Naturally, Jiaojiao." ”
"If the third princess doesn't marry you, and the emperor forces you to marry her, what should you do?"
It's another proposition.
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and straightened the broken hair on her forehead, "Then flip it over." ”
Nan Baoyi was very satisfied with his answer, and secretly said that he really wanted to marry him.
She was about to pick up the tea bowl, thought for a while and asked, "If I fall into the water at the same time as your mother, who will you save first?" ”
Xiao Yi: "......"
Yes, it's still a proposition.
The corners of his lips were smiling, looking at Nan Baoyi's eyes, and said softly: "Jiaojiao is the most beautiful underneath, if you are not Jiaojiao, you will not marry, there are acres of land and yards in the family, and the family background is quite rich. ”
Baoda ......
Nan Baoyi was stunned for a moment before she realized what this guy meant.
But they haven't even married, where are the children, where are the big protections?!
Her pink cheeks flushed, and she picked up the tea bowl in disguise, and only lowered her head to drink tea.
Xiao Yi propped his elbow on the flower table, and reached out to twist the tourmaline beads she was wearing on her white ear beads, "Jiaojiao asked, it's my turn to ask." ”
His fingertips were calloused, slightly rough.
Touching her ear beads along the tourmaline beads, it was itchy and a little numb.
Nan Baoyi always lowered her eyes, and her neck was slender and elegant, "What does the second brother want to ask?" ”
"I've never mentioned kissing in my life, and I don't know anything about dowry. If you want to marry a lady in Nanfu, I don't know how much dowry money is needed? ”
Nan Baoyi blinked.
She had never met a man who ran to the woman and asked how much she wanted.
She wants to hire the country, can he afford it?
She pursed her lips hesitantly.
She remembered that in her previous life, the Cheng family was hired by the government and gave ten dowry gifts.
There are very few special ones, and they give less dowry than ordinary rich and noble families.
The grandmother and the second aunt were angry and immediately wanted to repent of the marriage.
But she wouldn't.
How vain she was at that time, thinking that she was about to become an official wife, how could she be willing to repent of her marriage temporarily and become the biggest laughing stock in Jinguancheng?
The grandmother and the second aunt had no choice but to let her go.
At dusk, she ran to the storeroom alone, and had the audacity to open the dowry.
The red lacquer boxes are filled with objects that look big but are actually worthless, such as vases, silver basins, cloths, and so on.
Even, there is no cherry blossom on the head of a decent piece of jewelry
She stared at the mahogany box in a daze.
She thought that Brother Cheng was quite gentle and polite to her, and he must like her.
It's just that the official family has a clean breeze on their sleeves, so the Cheng Mansion can't take out so much money, and there is no way to buy more dowry gifts for Brother Cheng.
Comforting herself, she suddenly heard a sneer coming from the door of the storeroom.
She looked.
The most annoying young man in the house leaned against the door with his arms crossed, his expression mocking and joking.
She felt embarrassed, hurriedly covered the red lacquered wooden box, and sharply accused: "Xiao Yi, you really don't follow the rules, how can you peep at this girl without permission?!" ”
"The Cheng family married you, just give this little dowry? It seems that the other party doesn't take you seriously either. ”
"You're hu!"
The boy chuckled, took out a thick book of accounts from his bosom, and threw it at her feet.
He said lazily: "The Cheng family has been corrupt and bribed for 20 years, and the accounts are all here. Their family is very rich, and there is no shortage of your little dowry, but it is a matter of whether you are willing to give it. ”
She hurriedly picked up the accounts.
When I opened it, although I couldn't understand it very well, I could see that the amount of money was huge.
It's not ordinary, it's too conservative to afford it.
She looked at the pages, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
Xiao Yi said again: "If I were you, I would ask someone to carry this account and go to Shengjing City to sue the emperor to avenge the Cheng family's disregard for you." ”
Nan Baoyi closed the accounts.
She disliked: "You rely on my family for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and you are a despicable thing that is not as good as a fight!" When you see that I am going to marry the son of the Taishou family, you are jealous that I am about to be happy, so you are uneasy and kind, and want to break up my marriage. I've snooped through your plot and it won't go your way! ”
The curvature of the corners of Xiao Yi's lips gradually pressed down.
He stared at her indifferently.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly walked towards her.
He was born so tall, his momentum was so cold and gloomy, and the treasury was empty and dark, Nan Baoyi couldn't help but be afraid.
She raised her head and took out her momentum, learning from the words of those servants in the mansion who secretly scolded Xiao Yi, pointed at the tip of Xiao Yi's nose and scolded: "You cheap breed that no one wants, what kind of second son, that is, a rough handyman, how dare you look at this sister with such a gaze?" I'm me, I'm your filial sister......"
Xiao Yi's eyes are too terrifying!
Her aura gradually weakened, and she subconsciously retreated until her back hit the mahogany box.
She raised her head, nervous and timid: "I warn you, oh, if you don't obey, I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall and not give you food-"
Before he finished speaking, he was pinched by Xiao Yi's cheek.
He leaned down, Danfeng's eyes were as dark as an abyss, and his voice was hoarse and deep: "Nan Baoyi, you'd better not marry Cheng Dede." ”
"Hurt ......"
Nan Baoyi was very squeamish, and tears came out of her eyes.
His hands were so strong that they seemed to crush her face.
She never knew that this submissive bastard was so angry.
Tears fell on the back of Xiao Yi's hand.
He slowly let go of his hand, condescendingly, and emphasized again: "Don't marry Cheng De." ”
"The ...... to marry"
Nan Baoyi choked up and retorted, and the tears fell even harder.
"Like him?"
"I like it."
Nan Baoyi nodded solemnly.
In fact, at that time, she didn't understand what liking was.
She took vanity as love, and her enthusiasm for power and status as love.
So much so that he stepped into the abyss and finally never recovered.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything more.
He leaned down, lifted the back of his rough hand, and silently wiped away her tears.
At that time, Nan Baoyi was so arrogant and domineering, and said with disgust: "You are dirty and despicable, my sister is delicate, and you are not allowed to touch me." ”
At that time, she was only thinking about herself.
She didn't look at Xiao Yi's expression, and she didn't bother to look at it.
Xiao Yi silently withdrew his hand, and seemed to stare at her for another moment before turning to leave.
The memories in my mind gradually blurred.
After Xiao Yi left, there were only ten dowries left in the warehouse, pitiful and despondent.
She didn't know the authenticity of the account book, but she trusted Brother Cheng after all, so she burned the account book clean.
I want to come now......
Nan Baoyi raised her eyes.
That book of accounts should be true.
It turned out that in her previous life, the second brother had given her the opportunity to turn back.
It's that she herself didn't cherish.
