Chapter 278: How could he be willing to shame Nan Jiaojiao?

Nan Baoyi's cheeks were hot when he was onlookers by the wealthy businessmen, gentry, and aristocrats in Shu County.
Some Shujin merchants who usually look at Nanjia as unpleasant, have fallen into trouble:
"Is the Nan family defeated? How did the father and daughter even eat and take!"
"The dignified richest man actually donated only two taels of silver. What about the good home of goodness? Could it be that the previous reputation was obtained by deceiving the people?"
"It seems that this time the number of royal merchants belongs to the Zou family. Congratulations, boss Zou!"
"Where, where! Hahaha!"
Nan Yan gently shook her Tuan Fan, also smiling.
Seeing Nan Baoyi unlucky, she was happy in her heart.
Behind her, the lady whispered:
"Hey, last time at the Xuejia Biezhuang night banquet, Nan Yan also went there, but he was reluctant to donate jewelry. In the end, Master Cheng couldn't see it and forced her to donate a hairpin. It seems that Nan Yan's stinginess is inherited from her father. Yeah!"
"Look at Nan Yan, she is embarrassed to laugh, she is not ashamed but proud, she is so thick-skinned!"
Nan Yan: "..."
Isn't it good to laugh at Nan Baoyi?
Why do you want to get involved with her!
Xue Mei rejoiced: "Two or two silver patterns, it's a joke to say it! Last time the snow disaster, Nan Baoyi led people to repair houses, porridge and food for the people in the mansion. I thought she was so generous, but that was the case. Two silver patterns, thanks to her father!"
The ridicule was endless.
Nan Baoyi's white and tender forehead was sweating.
She sat back in silence and grabbed Xiao Yi's wide sleeves, "Second brother, borrow your sleeves for use."
She buried her small face deeply into his sleeve.
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and smiled.
The little girl was ashamed to get into his wide sleeves, like a quail buried in her head.
He said warmly: "In ancient times there were arrows in the sleeves, but now Benhou has a little beauty in the sleeves..."
"Second brother, my face is all ashamed!"
The light is shining, and the young phoenix eyes are gentle.
How could he be willing to shame Nan Jiaojiao?
He clapped his hands twice.
Shiku and others escorted each big red wooden box into the hall.
Tidy seals are affixed to the wooden box, and "Nanfu Disaster Relief Silver" is written in the handwriting of dragons and phoenixes.
Shiku stood under the hall and said loudly: "At the order of the old lady of the Nan family, 880,000 taels of silver with snow patterns are specially sent for relief to the people of Shu County. Please check it!"
Eight hundred and eighty thousand taels of snow pattern silver!
Everyone in the hall took a breath at the same time!
This is about to catch up with the combined share of all of them, the Nan family has such a big hand!
Gu Chongshan, who was always pouring hard liquor, raised his eyes coldly.
He smiled with red lips and motioned to the little for acceptance.
Unsurprisingly, the quota of the emperor merchant was acquired by the Nan family.
Nan Baoyi drilled out of her sleeves, her eyes gleaming, "Second brother, so you and grandmother are already prepared, it really made me worry."
Xiao Yi was noncommittal.
The Nanjia can do such a big business, of course, the news is very well-informed. It has long been known that Gu Chongshan came to Shu County on this trip to select the Shujin Emperor.
Disaster relief silver or something was prepared early in the morning.
Take 880,000 taels of silver in exchange for the status of the royal merchant, and get on the line with the royal family to reduce taxes by 70%. For the big businessmen who can do business, they will earn blood.
Xue Mei looked at the siblings and frowned unhappy.
Xiao Yi was originally her husband-in-law, so why should Nan Baoyi act like a baby to him?
She shook her tuan fan and sneered: "I was rich, but just donating some silver. As it should be, what can I get?"
Nan Baoyi asked in return: "Miss Xue said it easily, so do you have any money to donate?"
Xue Mei is speechless.
She did not donate.
But what's the matter, Dad said, when the drought is over, she will take other people's relief efforts to her alone, and invite the court to canonize her as the princess!
Nan Baoyi glanced over her expression and turned to Gu Chongshan with a smile, "I don't know anything about the nine-thousand-year-old girl of the Xue family. She is a well-known disaster relief lady in Shu County. She is born with an exquisite and kind heart. This drought caused trouble. So fierce, Miss Xue will definitely take the lead and live up to the name of the'disaster relief lady'."
"Oh?"
Gu Chongshan drank half a drink and smiled playfully, "Miss Xue, then you have to donate silver."
Xue Mei tightly squeezed the jade handle of the tuan fan, his face was pale.
Gu Chongshan was a person next to the emperor. If the emperor knew that her "disaster relief lady" name was false, he would definitely not want to canonize her as the princess.
She was embarrassed, but had to smile reluctantly: "Supervisor, the little girl is willing to donate twenty thousand taels of silver for disaster relief."
With that said, my heart was dripping blood.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is the personal money she has saved over the years.
Tonight because of Nan Baoyi's word, it was all in vain!
She squinted Nan Baoyi severely.
Nan Baoyi relied on Xiao Yi's support, bending his eyes fearlessly and smiling.
Xia Minghui helped Xue Mei and said quietly, "Ms Nan doesn't think it's too much to force others to donate silver in this way?"
"In his place, seek political affairs." Nan Baoyi said frankly, "Is the name'Lady for Disaster Relief' given for nothing? Speaking of which, Miss Xia and Miss Xue are close friends of her boudoir, and they must be as kind as her. Do you want to donate more?"
This trick is too poisonous.
Xia Minghui was unwilling to give half of the copper plate, so she kept silent and just looked down and drank tea quietly.
The girls Xue Mei had made friends with were afraid of being ruined by Nan Baoyi, so no one dared to speak.
Gu Chongshan fiddled with the ebony beads, staring at Nan Baoyi from a distance, with dark eyebrows.
He said softly: "Jing Xihou's sister, it's so funny..."
His eyes are quite dangerous.
Nan Baoyi's face was slightly stiff.
Xiao Yi handed her wide sleeves thoughtfully, "Do you want to go in and hide?"
He liked the appearance of Nan Jiaojiao hiding in his wide sleeves.
...
After a lot of scrutiny, the banquet finally ended.
The carriages parked on the side of the street gradually dispersed, leaving only the street full of moonlight.
Nan Baoyi was about to board the carriage when a "wait a minute" came from behind.
She looked back, Gu Chongshan was standing on the steps, and his navy blue embroidered smoke-corrugated official robe was hunting and flying, with red lips and white teeth under the moonlight, a very handsome posture.
He has a low voice: "Jing Xihou's sister, what is your name?"
Nan Baoyi thought for a while, and replied generously: "Nan Baoyi."
"My mother gave me the name. I hope someone will treat me like a pearl, and have a life of food and clothing." She looked at Xiao Yi, who was stepping on the horse, and smiled, "Nine thousand years old, in this life, many people treat me. I am like a jewel, I am very happy."
Her pupils seemed to be covered with fine stars, which was astonishingly bright.
Gu Chongshan's eyes darkened.
There was a sudden dull pain in the heart.
It seems that in a long time ago, Zeng also knew such a girl.
It's just that the girl has a miserable life, no one treats her like a jewel like a treasure, and no one protects her without worry...
Nan Baoyi picked up the gauze skirt and boarded the carriage, opened the bamboo curtain, and suddenly turned to Gu Chongshan, "Nine thousand years old."
"Why?"
"May you add luck every year, and everything is auspicious."
The girl smiled sweetly and leaned into the carriage.
The dust is like a dream, out of reach.
She was born because of Gu Chongshan and died because of Gu Chongshan.
The entanglement with him will only be written off from now on.
