Chapter 216: Brother Buys It for You
Xiao Yi took a sip of corn juice.
He said softly: "Light and delicate, like a flying swallow in the Han Palace, like a graceful and peerless." β
Nan Baoyi blushed instantly.
"Second brother is really ......" her eyes were ashamed, "What a big truth!" β
Kneeling behind the two of them, Shiku lowered his head silently.
How many circles can it be called "such as graceful, peerless"?
Master, this is a clear favorite sister!
Towards the end of the night banquet, Xue Mei said: "As we all know, the climate in Shu County is abnormal, and it has snowed heavily in the past two days, which has frozen many crops and crushed many houses and fields. I am the daughter of Xue Dudu, so I naturally have to think about the people. Therefore, there is a special auction tonight, and the ladies here are invited to donate jewelry or home collections for auction. All the money collected will be used for disaster relief. β
After she finished speaking, everyone in the audience praised her for her beauty and kindness.
The incident that had just broken the cowhide drum was tacitly revealed.
And this auction was also written on the invitation early on.
Therefore, the ladies were prepared and took out the brocade boxes they brought.
Nan Baoyi motioned for Yang Liu to take it out as well.
She looked at Nanrou again.
Nan Yan sat there on his knees with a face full of words.
She hadn't read the post, and she didn't know that she had to donate jewelry to the night party!
If she knew, she wouldn't come!
She raised her hand and touched the jeweled hairpin.
The hairpin, as well as the other jewelry she was wearing, were borrowed from the pawn shop by the maid.
If she can't return it on time tomorrow, the shopkeeper will not only find Nanfu, but even tell the entire Jinguan City, saying that she won't return the things she borrowed from Nan Yan!
At that time, where did she put her cheek?!
The Cheng family will also laugh at her!
In a panic, she had a flash of inspiration.
She smiled softly and said to Xue Mei: "Miss Xue, the little girl is not talented, and she has learned to manage accounts. If you don't dislike it, let the little girl help you collect and register those bead hairpin jewelry, right? β
As long as she collects the bead jewelry, no one will ask her for donations.
Xue Mei nodded: "Go ahead." β
Nan Yan got up, led a group of maids, and went to collect the brocade box with a gait.
The auction was held on the second floor of the painting building.
The middle-aged and elderly people, led by Xue Dudu, were not interested in this kind of children's auction, so they all stayed in the hall and continued to eat and drink.
The young sons and sisters and the young ladies of the family all moved to the second floor.
Xiao Yi is also not interested in auctions.
Nan Baoyi grabbed his hand and raised his head coquettishly: "Second brother, I want to buy jewelry." β
She hadn't visited the jewelry shop on Furong Street for a long time, and tonight she finally had the opportunity to squander her money, so she naturally had to take advantage of it.
She is a favorite of all kinds of crystal clear gemstones, and has collected two whole boxes.
If she could touch the color of the gems she didn't collect tonight, she would definitely buy them.
Xiao Yi stared at her.
I heard that crows like to put shiny things in their nests, but I didn't expect this little girl in his family to like shiny things too.
Also, Nan Jiaojiao was born in splendor, and she is the richest little canary in the world, so she naturally needs valuable things to be worthy of her.
Raising Nan Jiaojiao is very expensive.
But the last thing he lacked was money.
He curled his lips and smiled: "Brother bought it for you." β
The two went upstairs, and the maid respectfully rolled up the beaded curtains.
The flower hall was arranged in the shape of an exhibition hall, and the distinguished guests sat in twos and threes, Nan Baoyi paid attention and found that they seemed to be sitting with their sweethearts.
The glass lamps are staggered high and low, creating a beautiful sense of light and darkness.
The Mighty Ministers picked a corner spot.
She sat obediently inside.
Not long after she sat down, she found that it was a coincidence that Cheng De and Nan Yan were sitting right next to Lord Quanchen.
The two of them were talking in a low voice, and Cheng Dede was counting Nan Yan, scolding her for not lying.
His expression was not only impatient, but even ruthless.
Noisy and noisy, Nan Yan covered his handkerchief and cried in a low voice.
She craned her little neck to watch the play.
These two people haven't gotten married yet, so they quarreled like this, if they get married, will they still have it?
I don't know how Cheng De and Nan Yan fell in love with each other in their previous lives......
Just as he was looking at it, Cheng Dede looked at it coldly.
His expression was slightly stunned, and then he took away the ruthlessness and hideousness, still revealing the warmth and jade unique to the official boy, and bowed politely to her.
Nan Baoyi was pondering whether to return him with a false salute, when Lord Quan Chen pressed her head and pressed her back inside.
He looked straight ahead with a blank face, "Don't move, it's time to start." β
Nan Baoyi touched her head and said "oh".
The first lot was a pair of red gold bracelets.
Nan Baoyi didn't care, because her gold bracelet was simply not too much.
The second item for sale is a longevity lock Ruyi gold collar.
Xiao Yi glanced at Nan Baoyi, and the little girl shook her head secretly, obviously not looking down on such goods.
Also, the carved pattern on the collar is not as delicate as the little girl's ankleblet.
Separated by the two, Nan Yan's heart was moved.
She also had a gold collar, but she was dragged down by Liu Xiaomeng, and when she ransomed her, she took it to the pawnshop and pawned it.
She looked at Cheng German longingly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, this gold collar ......"
Cheng Dede said lightly: "Aren't you wearing one around your neck?" β
Nan Yan pursed his lips.
The gold collar around her neck was borrowed, not her own!
She didn't give up, gently grabbed her skirt, and looked like a pear blossom with rain: "Since you got engaged to Brother Cheng, you have never given me pearl hairpin jewelry." β
Cheng De stroked his wide sleeves, "You have a flattering appearance, and you look vulgar when you wear gold." β
Nan Yan: "......"
Speaking of which, I found a bunch of excuses, but I was reluctant to spend money for her.
With such a dime, what is the use of her wanting this fiancΓ©?!
The third item for sale is a crystal clear white jade gourd.
Xiao Yi noticed that the little girl's eyes lit up suddenly.
The white jade gourd shouted for five hundred taels of silver.
This thing was expensive and couldn't be worn, and the ladies in the field were not interested, so Xiao Yi took it directly at the price of 1,000 taels of silver.
Nan Yan watched from the side, and it was difficult to hide envy in his eyes.
The fourth item for sale is a starry blue gem.
The size of a baby's fist, pure and flawless, dark in color, beautiful like a star.
Even in the world, this sapphire is very rare.
Rare and valuable things, Nan Baoyi likes them.
Her eyes were brighter than the stars, and she tugged at Xiao Yi's sleeve excitedly: "I want that!" That color is rare, and I just lack one! β
This gem was sold for two thousand taels of silver.
Cheng De looked at Nan Baoyi's coquettish appearance, and the ghost made a fool and shouted: "Two thousand two hundred taels." β
Nan Yan was stunned.
Cheng German, did you buy it for her?
Yes, he said she wasn't fit to wear gold, and he must have felt that the sapphire was better for her.
This gemstone is much more valuable than a gold collar......
She flew her cheeks and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Cheng, this gem ......"
"Don't speak." Cheng De said in a deep voice, "Your sister likes this sapphire, so I naturally want to buy it and give it to her." You're a sister, and you should let her. β
