The reporting mechanism quickly spread among the people. Whether they believed it or not, everyone couldn't help but go to the north of the city and saw the government officials who were cleaning up the ruins.

“It’s really starting to rebuild.”

"I really envy Aunt Wu and the others. They will soon have a new house to live in. Now I get all the money to buy groceries when they live in my house."

"A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. Who would want the home they are used to living in to be burned down?"

"Is that Marquis Bo'an standing next to Mr. Tang? I heard that the regent has entrusted him to supervise the work. I hope he won't cut corners and endanger the lives of the people."

"I heard that the daughter of Bo'an Hou specially vacated the inn under her name for Aunt Wu and the others to stay until the house was built. If she can teach her daughter to be so pure and kind, Bo'an Hou's character must be the same."

This is not the first time Nan Xi has met Bo An Hou, but last time her attention was all on Li Qingmo. Only now did she seriously look at Bo An Hou's appearance. Inexplicably, her attention was always focused on Li Qingmo. attract.

Wen Ying touched her with her elbow and whispered: "What? Is he better-looking than the regent?"

Eyes are straight.

Nan Xi is helping Wen Ying check the building dimensions and make a preliminary estimate of the silver required for reconstruction. This is a task given to them by Tang Qingqing.

Hearing this, Nan Xi looked away and said seriously: "Of course the prince is good-looking."

Then he whispered to Wen Ying: "I just think that Marquis Bo'an is quite kind."

After finishing the work in hand, Nan Xi handed the estimated list of materials to Hou Bo'an.

For some reason, Marquis Bo'an also looked at Nan Xi a few more times. It wasn't until Tang Jingjing beside him coughed twice that he came back to his senses.

"Well, good job." He took the order.

After saying that, he continued to stare at Nan Xi's face.

"Cough cough!"

Tang Jingkong coughed and winked at Marquis Bo'an.

Only then did Marquis Bo'an come back to his senses. He regretted his rudeness, nodded to Nan Xi, turned around, called Tang Qingqing and left together.

"Master Tang, who was that just now?" Marquis Bo'an asked when he came to a deserted place.

Tang Jingjing naturally knew who he was asking: "Her name is Nan Xi, and she is the widower of the government office."

After a pause, he lowered his voice again, with a hint of reminder: "She lives in the Regent's Palace and is the prince's apprentice."

The implication is, if you want to survive, don't worry about it blindly.

Bo'anhou immediately understood what he meant and quickly explained: "I'm not... Oh, I don't know how to tell you. Anyway, don't worry, it's not those messy thoughts."

I hope you're not.

Tang Jingjing was still a little worried, and glanced at Bo'anhou warily.

That girl Nan Xi is very innocent, don't be fooled by this old guy.

But on second thought, Tang Jingxin thought of the many years of love between Bo'anhou and his wife, and the rumors that Bo'anhou was afraid of his wife.

Could it be that he is really worrying too much?
"She is the prince's apprentice?" Marquis Bo'an seemed to be very concerned about this, "When did the prince accept an apprentice?"

Tang Jingjing decided to nip it in the bud regardless of whether Marquis Bo'an had evil intentions, and said: "Do you still need to tell us about the prince's acceptance of a disciple? Moreover, the prince dotes on her very much. It can be said that he wants the stars not to give the moon, even Xia Xia Rui and Lan Jue also respect her as half their master. It’s hard to say what her status will be in the future.”

Some words don't need to be said clearly, he believes that Marquis Bo'an can understand.

On the other side, Nan Xi was also asking people about Bo'an Hou's situation. "Oh, are you asking the Marquis? I heard that he is siding with the Regent and is fighting against Prince Gong."

"The Marquis is a rare good man. For so many years, the Hou family has only had one mistress. I heard that there is not even a concubine in the house. The Marquis is the first, but he doesn't say the second. The Marquis asks him to go east, and he Not to the west.”

"Furthermore, the family tradition in the Marquis Mansion is good. My son is a new beauty, and my daughter is the most talented girl in the capital. She is good at doing business and is kind-hearted. I heard that the matchmaker has almost trampled down the door of their family. It's just that Miss Murong is single-minded. My admiration for the regent gave everyone else a break.”

Nan Xi: "..."

"Murong Qing really likes the prince?" There was a sourness in her tone that she didn't even notice.

The man nodded: "Yes, isn't this something that the whole world knows?"

Nan Xi was a little unhappy and glanced at the man: "Quickly do your work."

Turn around and leave.

The man was a little confused.

Wen Ying couldn't help but laugh. She caught up with Nan Xi, put her arm on her shoulders, and sniffed, "Wow, it's so sour. Who suddenly drank vinegar?"

In front of good friends, Nan Xi did not deny it: "There is no need for me to be sad. Master's kindness to me overcomes everything. He is kind to me and only to me."

"Hey, hey, you're showing off a bit." Wen Ying tapped Nan Xi's forehead with her other hand, "But you are so good, you deserve this from the prince."

Then he made a fierce expression: "If he dares to treat you badly or bully you, I will go to him to settle the score and I will never let him go."

Nan Xi was very touched. The master was the regent, the villain in the original work, with overwhelming power. Wen Wen dared to go against the master for her. This was true friendship.

……

After returning to the city, Nan Xi accompanied Wen Ying on a patrol and saw a group of people pulling a cart filled with things, including various silks and gift boxes.

The two wheels rolled on the ground, making a creaking sound. You can imagine how heavy the things on them were.

"They are from Guan Mansion." Wen Ying said, "They come out every day to buy things for the wedding. The shopkeepers of each shop grinned happily to the back of their ears when they saw them coming in."

Nan Xi had never seen an ancient wedding before, so he looked over curiously.

The man pulling the cart stopped, and the steward of Guan Mansion led the people into Nanji Jewelry Shop.

"Madam boss, do you have any bracelets of better quality here? I want jadeite, the more water there is, the better. Price is not an issue."

When Jiang Wan saw the 'God of Wealth' coming to her door, it was indeed as Wen Ying said. She grinned from the corner of her mouth to the back of her ears and took out the most expensive bracelet with a smile.

But the housekeeper only glanced at it, but he was not satisfied.

"Forget it, I'd better go to another house to have a look."

How could Jiang Wan be willing to let the duck that was almost there fly?
She hurriedly came out of the counter, stopped the person, her eyes flashed slightly, and she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

"Who said we don't have good things at home? Just wait."

Jiang Wan turned around and went to the backyard, as if she was really afraid that someone would leave. She came back very quickly, holding an exquisite wooden box in her hand.

"I promise you'll be satisfied with this."

The butler opened it, his eyes lit up, and he quickly paid.

Jiang Wan put the banknote in her arms and happily nibbled on melon seeds. She was in a very good mood. However, when she saw Nan Xi in the corner of her eye, her smile suddenly dropped. Instead of showing off like she usually did, she smiled. His eyes flickered, and he quickly turned back to the backyard, as if he felt guilty.
