Chapter 8: Sue

"Yes, the second brother helped me. I'll buy him a gift."
Nan Baoyi glanced at her calmly while speaking.
In the previous life, Nan Yan, who was exquisite and knowledgeable, was only a 13-year-old girl, and could not be able to deal with others and things in a calm manner. Looking at her blushing face, she knew that she was very embarrassed now.
Her eyes fell on the inkstone again.
She couldn't tell whether the inkstone was good or bad, only that it was expensive.
Expensive things are certainly not bad.
She took out a thousand taels of silver notes from her purse, "Wrap it for me."
Nan Yan watched her buy her favorite inkstone, dripping blood in her heart, but couldn't even say a word.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The serious lady is different from the maiden, look at this generous shot... Who doesn’t know that Baoyanzhai never bargained, people who can’t afford to bargain, What's the difference with the careless city women in the vegetable market? As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make holes. That's right!"
He looks down on Nan Yan.
Nan Yan’s mother, the Liu family, was very famous in Jinguan City. Back then, Mrs. Nan sent a message not to allow her to enter the door. She also gave her a large sum of money to tell her to go far. She accepted the money and promised well. , Turned around and wanted to live as an outside room for the Nansan Master, and even when the Nansan Master got married, he ran to the door of Nanfu to commit suicide!
If you put it nicely, it means love is better than Jin Jian. If you put it badly, it means that it is shameless and shameless!
Nan Yan's face turned into pig liver red, with two tears in her eyes, she looked at Nan Baoyi pitifully and innocently, as if she was expecting her to say something for herself.
Nan Baoyi chuckled, and Nan Yan thought she was the good sister in her previous life.
She asked Lotus Leaf to take the wrapped inkstone, and said politely: "Sister walk around slowly, I will leave if I have something to do."
Nan Yan subconsciously followed her out of Baoyanzhai and watched her hold the maid's hand in the carriage.
The carriage is spacious and luxurious, with woven gold silk and red glazed lanterns hanging on the four corners, and even the hanging curtains and curtains are embroidered with delicate patterns, and it must be comfortable to sit on.
She was frustrated and wrinkled her veil.
The personal maid was uncomfortable for her, "They are all the master's daughters. Why can Nan Baoyi ride in such a good carriage and buy such an expensive inkstone without blinking, but the young lady has a tight life?! It's not fair! "
"Who told them to be a serious son..."
"How about a prostitute?" The maid was sorry and angrily. "I heard that the Nan family is not good at writing and writing, and the young lady is different from the young man. The young lady is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Excellent, but you can’t even enter the palace... If the young lady can also live in the Nanfu and stay with the old lady for a long time, the old lady will definitely like you!"
Nan Yan's expression changed.
Yes, it would be great if I could live in Nanfu...
Suddenly her eyes lit up. Anyway, her mother is going to marry her father next month, and she lives in Nanfu early. What's wrong?
The depressed mood was wiped out, and she happily said: "Go, go to see Daddy!"
She returned to the small house in Qingqiao Hutong. Her mother went to the silk and satin store to buy clothes, and her father sat in the yard to eat tea.
"Daddy." She bowed her knees politely.
"Yan'er is back?" Nan Guang smiled, "How about it, do you have a gift for your brother?"
Nan Yan paused, and secretly said that you only gave fifty taels of silver, what good things can you buy?
She happily stepped forward, "I bought a green immersed wolf pen with a box of fragrant ink for my elder brother. For the rest of the money, I bought your favorite walnut cake for my father, which belongs to Fu Wei Zhai."
"I can think of being a father when Yan'er buys gifts for my brother. I am really moved for my father! Come, let's eat together."
Nan Yan sat down next to him and said warmly: "Daddy, my daughter ran into Baoyi when she went to the street today. We had a great conversation. She likes my sister very much."
"Your sisters get along well and are happy for the father!"
"It's just..." Nan Yan hesitated to speak.
"Just what?"
Nan Yan was full of sadness, "Daddy, Bao Yi spent a thousand taels of silver today without even blinking his eyes. I know that my grandmother loved her and gave her a lot of pocket money, but this is too prodigal... I don't know who I am. It’s not easy to persuade. If I can be her sister rightly, I can persuade her to be simple and frugal, and be more considerate of her father."
A thousand taels of silver!
Nanguang gasped!
It's so pitiful, since his mother knew that he had raised the outside room, she refused to let him squander the family property.
He can only get a mere two hundred taels of silver from the public school every month, drink some flower wine with friends, and go to the teahouse several times, and there is not much left. Even the life with Xiaomeng and Yan'er is very tight.
He, as a father, can't afford a thousand taels of silver, Nan Baoyi is so generous!
"Naughty!" He patted the stone table with anguish. "I told your grandmother a long time ago that the little girl's family can't have so much money in her body. Your grandmother doesn't listen, so I'll be with your auntie. Fill her with silver! A thousand taels, that is a thousand taels of silver with snow patterns!"
Enough for him to be chic in Hualou for a long time!
Nan Yan added tea to him, "If Yan'er had so much money, she would definitely use it to show her filial piety to her father and grandmother, and would never squander it indiscriminately."
"You are a good one." Nan Guang touched her head with emotion, "Jiaojiao is spoiled by your grandmother, and there is no one to beat and scold by the side. In this way, your mother will be here next month anyway. Now you pack your things and move into the house ahead of time, so that you can take care of Jiaojiao for me."
"Is this bad?" Nan Yan raised her timid Xingyan eyes, "Grandma doesn't like Yan'er, so she definitely doesn't want to prepare a yard for Yan'er..."
"You live in Jinyi Pavilion and live with Jiaojiao, so it is convenient for you to discipline her." Nanguang said with earnest heart, "That girl is stubborn, and the house is very fond of him. I will trouble your sister in the future."
"Daddy, don't worry, I will take care of her."
Nan Yan obediently blessed her body and bowed her head with success.
As long as she just lives in Nanfu, she will be able to sell her beloved things in front of the old woman from time to time. She will also have a share in the things that Nan Baoyi has in the future. Maybe she can get silver rewards from her elders. Isn't it better than living outside?
the other side.
Nan Baoyi returned to Jinyi Pavilion, holding the inkstone for a closer look.
Lotus Ye's face was full of pain, "That is, a sunken stone, it actually costs a thousand taels of silver... Girl, did you say that Bao Yanzhai's boss deliberately cheated us?"
"The things in the study are very expensive."
Nan Baoyi carefully put away the inkstone, and ordered: "Take out all my precious jewelry, I will calculate the price."
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, even she has to raise it up.
