    Nan Baoyi¡¯s cheeks were burning as he was surrounded by wealthy businessmen, gentry, and powerful families from all over Shu County.

    Some Shu brocade merchants who usually disliked the Nan family started to add insult to injury:

    "Is the Nan family in decline? How come the father and daughter can't even eat and drink!"

    "The richest man actually donated only two taels of silver. Where is the promised charity home? Could it be that his previous reputation was gained by deceiving the people?"

    "It seems that the Zou family is the only one to have the imperial merchant quota this time. Congratulations to Boss Zou!"

    "Where, where! Hahaha!"

    Nan Yan shook her fan gently, smiling as well.

    Seeing Nan Baoyi's misfortune made her feel happy.

    Behind her, the ladies whispered to each other:

    "Hey, Nan Yan also went to the Xue family's villa dinner party last time, but was reluctant to donate jewelry. In the end, Mr. Cheng couldn't stand it and forced her to donate a hairpin. It seems that Nan Yan's stinginess was inherited from her father.  Woolen cloth!"

    ¡°Look at Nan Yan, she has the nerve to smile, she is not ashamed but proud, she is so thick-skinned!¡±

    Nan Yan: ""

    Isn¡¯t it good to laugh at Nan Baoyi properly?

    Why should we involve her?

    Xue Mei gloated: "Two taels of silver is a joke! Last time there was a snowstorm, Nan Baoyi led people to repair the houses and provide food and porridge for the servants. I thought she was very generous, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. 2  Two grains of silver, it¡¯s a shame her father can afford it!¡±

    The sound of ridicule is endless.

    Nan Baoyi¡¯s white and tender forehead was covered with sweat.

    She silently sat back down and grabbed Xiao Yi's wide sleeve, "Second brother, I can lend you your sleeve."

    She buried her little face deeply into his sleeves.

    Xiao Yi pursed his thin lips into a smile.

    The little girl shyly wanted to get into his wide sleeves, like a quail with its head buried in the air.

    He said warmly: "In ancient times, we had arrows in our sleeves, but now I have a little beauty in my sleeve"

    "Second brother, I am completely embarrassed!"

    The lights are bright and the young man¡¯s phoenix eyes are gentle.

    How could he bear to embarrass Nan Jiaojiao?

    He clapped his hands twice.

    Shiku and others escorted the big red wooden boxes into the hall.

    There is a neat seal affixed to the wooden box, which reads "Nanfu Disaster Relief Bank" in dragon and phoenix calligraphy.

    Shiku stood under the hall and said loudly: "On the order of the old lady of the Nan family, I have specially sent 880,000 taels of silver with snowflake patterns to help the people of Shu County. Please check it, Lord Governor!"

    Eight hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver with snowflake pattern!

    Everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air at the same time!

    This is almost catching up with the combined share of all of them. What a big deal the Nan family has done!

    Gu Chongshan, who had been pouring the liquor, raised his eyes coolly.

    With a smile on his red lips, he motioned to the young eunuch for acceptance.

    No surprise, the Nan family took the imperial merchant¡¯s spot.

    Nan Baoyi got out of his sleeve, his eyes sparkling, "Second brother, it turns out that you and grandma have been prepared for this. It really makes me worried."

    Xiao Yi was noncommittal.

    The Nan family can do such a big business, so of course they are very well-informed. They have long known that Gu Chongshan came to Shu County this time to select Shu Jin Huang merchants.

    Disaster relief money and other things have been prepared early in the morning.

    " Taking 880,000 taels of silver in exchange for the status of an imperial merchant, establishing a connection with the royal family, and reducing taxes by 70%. For a big businessman who knows how to do business, it is a real profit.

    Xue Mei looked at the brother and sister and frowned in displeasure.

    Xiao Yi was originally her chosen husband, why should Nan Baoyi act coquettishly towards him?

    She shook her fan and sarcastically said: "I am already rich and noble, but I just donated some money. It is natural. What is there to gain?"

    Nan Baoyi asked back: "Ms. Xue said it was easy, but have you donated any money?"

    Xue Mei was speechless.

    She did not donate.

    But so what, my father said that when the drought is over, he will take credit for other people's disaster relief work on her alone, and petition the court to make her the princess!

    Nan Baoyi took in her expression completely and turned to Gu Chongshan with a smile, "I don't know what I know at nine thousand years old. This eldest girl of the Xue family is a famous disaster relief lady in Shu County. She is born with an exquisite and kind heart. This drought caused so much trouble.  It's so fierce, Miss Xue will definitely take the lead and live up to her name as the 'disaster relief lady'."

    "oh?"

    Gu Chongshan drank half a glass of wine and smiled playfully, "Miss Xue, then you have to donateSilver.  "

    Xue Mei squeezed the jade handle of the round fan tightly, her face turned green and white.

    Gu Chongshan is a person close to the emperor. If the emperor knew that her title of "Disaster Relief Lady" was false, he would definitely not want to make her the princess.

    She was angry in her heart, but she could only force a smile and said: "Master Governor, this little girl is willing to donate 20,000 taels of silver for disaster relief."

    As he said this, his heart was bleeding.

    Twenty thousand taels of silver are the personal money she has saved so hard over the years.

    Tonight, everything came to nothing because of Nan Baoyi¡¯s words!

    She gouged out Nan Baoyi's eyes fiercely.

    Nan Baoyi leaned on Xiao Yi to support him and smiled fearlessly.

    Xia Minghui helped Xue Mei and said quietly: "Miss Nan, don't you think it's too much to force others to donate money like this?"

    "In her position, she pursues her own affairs." Nan Baoyi said frankly, "Is the title of 'Disaster Relief Lady' given to me for nothing? Speaking of which, Miss Xia and Miss Xue are close friends, and they must be as kind-hearted as her.  Do you want to donate some too?¡±

    This trick is too poisonous.

    Xia Minghui was unwilling to give even half a copper, so she remained silent and just drank tea with her eyes lowered as quietly as a chicken.

    The girls Xue Mei was friends with were afraid that Nan Baoyi would blackmail them for money, so no one dared to say anything.

    Gu Chongshan was playing with the ebony beads and looking at Nan Baoyi from afar, his eyebrows were sinister.

    He said warmly: "Jingxihou's sister is so interesting"

    His eyes are quite dangerous.

    Nan Baoyi¡¯s face was slightly stiff.

    Xiao Yi thoughtfully handed her the wide sleeves, "Do you want to go in and hide?"

    He likes the way Nan Jiaojiao hides in his wide sleeves.

    ¡­¡­

    After a while, the banquet finally came to an end.

    The carriages parked on the street gradually dispersed, leaving only the bright moonlight all over the street.

    Nan Baoyi was about to get on the carriage when a "Wait a minute" came from behind.

    She looked back and saw Gu Chongshan standing on the steps, his navy blue embroidered smoke ripple official robe fluttering, his lips red and white under the moonlight, a very handsome posture.

    His voice was low and hoarse: "Jingxihou's sister, what is your name?"

    Nan Baoyi thought for a while and replied generously: "Nan Baoyi."

    "My mother gave me this name. I hope someone will treat me like a jewel, and I will have no worries about food and clothing throughout my life." She looked at Xiao Yi, who was mounting a horse, and smiled, "Nine thousand years old. In this life, many people treat me like a jewel."  I am like a pearl, and I am very happy.¡±

    Her pupils seemed to be filled with tiny stars, and they were astonishingly bright.

    Gu Chongshan¡¯s eyes gradually darkened.

    Sudden heartache.

    It seems that in the distant past, I once met such a girl.

    "It's just that the girl had a miserable life. No one treated her like a jewel, and no one protected her from worries about food and clothing

    Nan Baoyi lifted up her gauze skirt and boarded the carriage, opened the bamboo curtain, and suddenly turned to Gu Chongshan, "Nine thousand years old."

    "For what?"

    "May you be blessed every year and have good luck in everything."

    The girl smiled sweetly and leaned into the car.

    The past is like a dream, out of reach.

    She was born because of Gu Chongshan and died because of Gu Chongshan.

    From now on, the grievances and disputes with him will only be wiped out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
