Chapter 23: Second brother hates most

She graciously brought out the fish soup, "I tasted it very delicious, and immediately thought of my second brother. You have been studying hard, so you have to make up for it."
Xiao Yi took the small white porcelain cup she handed over.
After taking a mouthful of the soup, he sneered, "Nan Baoyi, take the soup made by my maid to honor me?"
Nan Baoyi was ashamed, "Look at what the second brother said, doesn't this mean that I have you in my heart? What's more, the fish soup is nourishing. If you drink too much, you will become smart, so second brother drink more!"
After finishing speaking, I felt that I didn't say this well, as if Xiao Yi was so stupid.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn't care about her.
She leaned her face on the book case and said in a childish voice: "Second brother, what are you reading recently? The imperial examination will be in two years. You must prepare well."
After blinking Danfeng's eyes, she said again: "Second brother, the end of the month is the Huachao Festival. I plan to participate in the competition of the Huachao Festival. It's just that the threshold question of the competition is related to the Four Books and Five Classics. Can you teach me to read?"
"No."
Xiao Yi was expressionless.
Nan Baoyi rolled her eyes secretly.
I knew he would refuse!
She backed her hand, and the old was pacing on the ground, "Last time I met my fourth brother studying in the mansion, he repeatedly recited a sentence, what is the way of a university, in Ming Mingde...what is close to the people, what is the best..."
"The way of a university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and ending in perfection."
"Yes, yes, that's the sentence!" Nan Baoyi slapped her hands, her eyes sparkling, "I heard that this sentence is very famous, do you think Hua Chaosheng will use it as a threshold question?"
She knew very well that the Huachao Grand Meeting did not use it as a threshold question.
It's the imperial examination, and it's the examination of policy theory.
The reason why I remember clearly is that Cheng German took the township exam and wrote out his own policy answers after the exam for others to read, and received unanimous praise. Everyone knows that Cheng's second son is full of economics and is expected to win.
In the end, the test results came out, and it was indeed Cheng German who got the first place.
Back then, she and You Rongyan, who obviously didn't like reading, still read his answer sheet repeatedly, and can still recall the content of the answer sheet.
She couldn't return ten thousand taels of silver to Xiao Yi, so she could only use this circuitous method to reveal the exam questions to him.
However, Xiao Yi didn't care. "The Huachao event is just a pastime for the rich and powerful. The threshold will not be complicated."
"The imperial examination, will you take such questions? If you get it, how will your second brother answer it?"
Xiao Yisui went south and Baoyi.
The little girl ran to the book table again, resting her cheeks in her hands, and the gold woven hairband on the double flat bun was loose, very playful and cute.
After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and opened her hair tie.
The little girl's hair was thin and soft, dripping from his palm, feeling like silk.
She tilted her head in confusion.
Baozi's face is white and tender and lovely, Danfeng's eyes are slender and charming, and his small mouth is like a red cherry. You can vaguely glimpse the peerless elegance after growing up.
Xiao Yi remembered that when he was having tea in a restaurant, everyone praised the beautiful daughter of the outer room in the southern hat and hat, but he felt that in two years, the most beautiful girl in Jinguan City would be Nan Baoyi.
"Second brother, what are you doing to remove my hair?"
The little girl is not happy.
Xiao Yi recovered.
He just saw that the little girl's hair band was loose, and he wanted to tie her tightly. The moment he stretched out his hand, he loosened her hair.
"Second brother hates it the most..."
The little girl sniffed softly, turned her back to a bronze mirror, took out two new hair bands from her wide sleeves, and combed her hair hard.
Xiao Yi looked at her.
The way her hair is scattered is beautiful, better looking than when she is combed.
He watched Nan Baoyi slowly tie her hair, and had the urge to take it off again.
"Miss!"
Suddenly, lotus leaf knocked on the door outside the study.
Nan Baoyi closed her forehead and shattered her hair, "What's the matter? I'm studying with my second brother."
Lotus leaf opened the door embarrassedly. "There is news from the front yard that the third master does not eat or drink all day long. No one can persuade you... The slave and maid are worried about the third master's accident. Come over and tell the lady, do you want to see? "
"My uneasy father!"
Nan Baoyi sighed, picked up Xiao Yi's fish soup, and went to the front yard with Lotus Leaf.
Xiao Yi still held the two headbands.
The hair band is very delicate, woven with gold thread and red thread, precious and clean.
He lowered his head and sniffed.
There seems to be a little girl's unique hibiscus fragrance remaining on it.
He was silent for a long time, and tied the hairband around his wrist like a ghost.
...
forecourt.
Nan Baoyi opened the door.
The room was quiet, and a few lights were lit behind the screen, faintly reflecting the silhouette of the person leaning on the couch.
She walked over with the food box, "Daddy."
Nan Guang turned to the wall and ignored her.
"I heard that you don't eat or drink, and my daughter is very worried, so she made fish soup and came to visit you."
Nan Guang cried with a hoarse voice: "You can't see me well, I know in my heart...I just want to marry Xiaomeng, why is it so difficult?"
"No one in the house can't see you."
"Then why don't you let me marry Xiao Meng?!" Nan Guang sat up suddenly, "Speaking of which, you are just jealous of me and Xiao Meng's sweet love!"
Nan Baoyi shook off the goose bumps.
She touched her cheeks, her teeth were really soured by him...
She sat at the round table and took out the fish soup. "As you have seen with your own eyes, your grandmother clearly allowed Aunt Liu to come in. It's a pity that Aunt Liu was dishonest and concealed the deeds from us. Who can blame this?"
The fish soup is delicious.
Nan Baoyi stirred the fish soup, and drank a spoonful of it by herself, "If you refuse to eat, be so hungry, and when you want to eat it. Well, this soup is really fresh."
While drinking the second spoon, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Yi had used this spoon.
She pressed the corner of her mouth with the kerchief, and put down the spoon quietly.
Nanguang was too hungry for a long time.
He clutched his hungry belly and glanced at the fish soup greedyly.
After a long while, he licked his mouth, "Since you beg to eat for your father, then being your father will satisfy your filial piety!"
He couldn't wait to walk to the table, unable to even use the spoon, picked up the cup and drank it cleanly.
Nan Baoyi couldn't help laughing.
She intimately wiped the soup on the corners of Nan Guang's mouth, "You are also a big and big person. You can't just be happy for yourself, but also consider your grandmother. Aunt Liu is not a good stubble. From her concealing the deed, she can tell Mind. Don't be obsessed with not realizing it anymore, the family in our mansion live steadily, isn't it better than everything?"
