Chapter 90

Kang's family was a little further away from Nanyan Mountain, so they left early, and when the family arrived at the foot of Nanyan Mountain, the Zhou family hadn't arrived yet.

Miss Kang San lifted the curtain and took a look, seeing that the Zhou family was still coming, she said to Mrs. Kang: "Mom, although it's already autumn, the sky is still a little dry, why don't you just wait for the Zhou family in the car?" Bar?"

Mrs. Kang looked out and saw that the sun had already risen. Although the sun was not as strong as in summer, it was uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun, so she nodded.

But my heart is not very happy.The old man is Zhou Chengyan's teacher, even if their family proposes to marry his daughter, it would be too much to put on airs with the teacher.I don't even look at the status of the Kang family in Beijing, and what about their Zhou family.

Miss Kang San knew Mrs. Kang very well, and knew that she was upset, so she didn't dare to show her anger, and honestly became a wallflower.

Miss Kang Si and Miss Kang Wu were impatient in the car, and they were not afraid of the sun. They jumped out of the carriage for a while to look at unknown wild flowers, and then fluttered to the butterflies.

The time agreed by the two families was Si time, Zhou Chengyan and Xiao Song set off early, and arrived at the foot of Nanyan Mountain after half of the time.

Zhou Chengyan saw the Kang family's carriage from a distance, and even urged the driver to hurry up.At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Chengyan jumped off the carriage before it stopped.

"Teacher!" He strode over and stood in front of Kang Zhengfang, "When did you arrive? The student came late and kept you waiting."

Kang Zhengfang waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not that you are late, it's that I came early." Seeing Xiao Song holding Zhou Yiwan down from behind, Kang Zhengfang smiled and said, "Yo, little girl Yiwan is here too!" Turning back to his grandson, he said: "Go, bring Yiwan little girl to me."

Kang Qikun knew that his grandfather had specially found an opportunity for him, so that he could meet Yijia in the past.Couldn't help but blushed slightly, and quickly glanced at Zhou Chengyan, seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, then strode over.

After Yijia handed her sister to Mrs. Song, she helped the carriage to get down slowly.As soon as he stood firmly, Kang Qikun's voice sounded.

"Aunt Zhou, you are tired from the car ride. Sister Yiwan asked me to come and hug her. My grandfather hasn't seen her for a long time, and I just want to see her." Kang Qikun's voice was clear and crisp.

Xiao Song was satisfied no matter how she saw it, and handed Zhou Yiwan to Kang Qikun, saying: "Then I will trouble you."

Zhou Yiwan was only five years old, but Kang Qikun was already a young man known as Xie Yuanlang, so naturally he didn't need to worry about the defense of men and women.

Zhou Yiwan still remembered Kang Qikun's honey water and grapes, hugged Kang Qikun's neck, and said sweetly: "Brother Kang, do you have honey water and ice grapes to eat today?"

Kang Qikun coaxed her with a smile, "There is honey water, but the grapes do not have ice, but they are soaked in mountain spring water, they are just as sweet and sour."

Zhou Yiwan clapped her hands in applause.

Kang Qikun took this opportunity to take a quick look at Yijia.

She wore a beige embroidered with folded orchids in a honey color, a gold inlaid jade hairpin with emerald emerald greens on her head, and a pair of small white jade earrings hanging on her ears.

Simple and elegant.

It's just that I haven't seen her for more than a month, she seems to have grown a bit taller, but her complexion doesn't look as good as before, and her eyes are slightly darkened, and her brows are slightly frowned, as if she was stumped by something Seems like.

Kang Qikun couldn't help feeling worried.

Mrs. Kang walked over with the support of Miss Kang San, smiling kindly.

"This is Mrs. Zhou. I have wanted to visit you for a long time. There are too many chores at home, and you don't like to go out, so I haven't been able to see you. Today I finally see you. You have to have a good chat with me, and if you are free in the future, you have to go and see me." She said politely, took Xiao Song's hand and patted it lightly.

Xiao Song's family was trembling at first, but the person she met this time was Mrs. Kang, whether it was her natal He's family or her husband's Kang's family, they were all rich and powerful.In order to go out today, Mrs. Song has devoted her whole body and mind to this matter for the past few days. She is afraid that if she does something wrong, Mrs. Kang will look down on her, and she even has other thoughts about Yijia.

Who knew Mrs. Kang was so kind, she immediately had a good impression of Mrs. Kang, and said with a smile: "Definitely."

With just those four dry words, not only the three young ladies of the Kang family showed surprise expressions, but Mrs. Kang almost lost her face.

This week Mrs. Zhou heard that she came from the Song family, the richest family in Hangzhou Prefecture, but it is said that she is a concubine. She has been married to the capital for five or six years and has not liked to come out to socialize. Everyone only thinks that she has low self-esteem, but unexpectedly she is not able to speak.

Mrs. Kang couldn't stop the disdain in her heart.

The three ladies of the Kang family stepped forward to greet Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song gave the three ladies the greetings they had prepared a long time ago.Because the three young ladies are all concubines, they all prepared the same for the meeting ceremony.

Yijia also met Mrs. Kang. The jade bracelet that Mrs. Kang originally wore was a gift prepared in advance, but seeing Mrs. Song like this, Mrs. Kang felt that if she had such an in-law in the future, Even she felt ashamed of herself, so she casually removed a gold ring inlaid with rubies from her left index finger.It was given to Yijia as a meeting gift.

Everyone's fingers were different in thickness, and the gold ring was of a fixed size. Yi Jia knew that Mrs. Kang still didn't want her when she got it.Today's trip is probably because of Mr. Kang's words.However, she had to follow Mrs. Kang's wishes without asking what Kang Qikun meant.

She didn't show her face, thanked her with a smile, and greeted each other with the three young ladies of the Kang family.

The mountain along the south side is not high, and there are several gazebos halfway up the mountain. Everyone has arrived, Mr. Kang takes the lead, and everyone climbs up the mountain together.

Kang Qikun accompanied Mr. Kang and Zhou Chengyan, holding Zhou Yiwan by the hand.

Zhou Yiwan was young and couldn't move after a few steps, so Kang Qikun hugged her and climbed up.

Mr. Kang chuckled, and Zhou Chengyan nodded in satisfaction.

On the other hand, Mrs. Kang and Mrs. Song in the back, even though Mrs. Kang was not very happy, but Mrs. Kang was in front, she dared not do anything. She just followed Mrs. Song and talked about clothes and jewelry that Mrs. Song could understand.But she was not very happy after all, so it was probably Xiao Song who said it, and she just echoed it occasionally.

Miss Kang San left her two younger sisters behind and walked with Yijia on the left and right, asking her about her hobbies, what books she reads on weekdays, and so on.

When they arrived at the gazebo halfway up the mountain, after the adults had sat down, Mr. Kang called Zhou Yiwan to him to tease and chat, and then drove the children out to play.

The three sisters of the Kang family knew the purpose of coming here today, so they went into the woods on the top of the mountain and disappeared immediately.

Yijia and Kang Qikun were alone, and they climbed up a short distance before stopping at a small gazebo.

Both of them were sweating a little, Yijia's cheeks were flushed from the heat, but Kang Qikun's cheeks were also flushed because of shyness.

"Sister Zhou, you...do you have something to say to me?" After Kang Qikun finished speaking, his ears turned red.

Yijia looked at him, with an unconcealable shyness in his eyes.

For some reason, Yijia suddenly regretted it.

What she wanted in this life was no longer such feelings.If Kang Qikun really liked her, she would feel a burden in her heart, because she couldn't give him the same affection.

Once again, she didn't want to touch the feelings that killed her and Liang Mingzhi in her previous life.

Seeing her eyes suddenly darken, Kang Qikun couldn't help becoming nervous. Could it be that he said something wrong?
He thought about it carefully and confirmed that he hadn't said anything he shouldn't have said.He suddenly remembered that when the news of the rejection came from the Zhou family, he looked a little unbelievable. He was young and promising, and he was the head of the next generation of the Kang family.And that day at Dongshan Temple, he thought that what he did was not bad at all. Miss Zhou's family really had no reason to refuse.

Later, he went to investigate in private and found out that the problem was with his mother.It was the mother who intended to betroth her uncle's cousin to her. Mr. Zhou loved his daughter so much, so knowing this situation, he was naturally unwilling to betroth her to him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to beg Grandpa.

Grandpa went to find Mr. Zhou together with him, and sure enough, Mr. Zhou did not refuse any more, and then news spread that she wanted to see him.

I only care about being happy. Could it be that when she saw her, she actually wanted to say something else?
Was it his own proposal to marry her that stumped her?In fact, she is, unwilling?

He suddenly didn't dare to look at Yijia, afraid that what she said would really confirm his guess.But when he hesitated, he felt that this was wrong. People should strive for what they like and want, instead of waiting for others to judge.

Even if she refused, he should ask why she refused.Is it because I didn't do well, or there is something about me that she doesn't like.

As he thought about it, he suddenly mustered up his courage again.

He looked at Yijia carefully and intently, waiting for what she would say next.

Yijia is not an indecisive person, she came here today to solve the problem.And in her heart, if she had to be sorry to someone between Liang Mingzhi and Kang Qikun, she would definitely not choose to be sorry to Liang Mingzhi.

Even if she didn't have a previous life, she would not choose to be sorry to Liang Mingzhi.

"Master Kang, I want to tell you that if you just want to find a wife who respects each other like a guest, I am willing. But if you want to find a wife who knows and loves each other and protects each other, I'm afraid I can't do it." She is so old, and her face doesn't seem to be important at the moment, she continued: "I marry you, you can still take concubines and concubines, and you can still take over the house. I will help you take care of the children and take care of the housework. You just need to Just show me respect in front of others. Young Master Kang, I just want to find a marriage like this."

Kang Qikun was completely dumbfounded.

As if struck by lightning, she stared blankly at Yijia for a long while before recovering.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" he asked in a trembling voice.

Yijia nodded affirmatively.

"I know," she said.

Kang Qikun couldn't understand at all, he said: "You...you are only 12 years old, how could you have such an idea? How could you have such an idea?"

Although he has never experienced the taste of love, since the last time he went back to Dongshan Temple to say goodbye, her figure has always appeared in his mind.When he learned that the Zhou family refused, he was so sad that he couldn't sleep well. When he learned that Yijia asked him to meet, he still couldn't sleep well.It's just that the last time was a sad insomnia, but the last time I was really happy and couldn't fall asleep.

And the love sung in those poems.

Young men and women will be emotionally moved. How come she is here, but she only needs superficial kung fu?

Does she not believe in herself?

He desperately wanted to swear again.

Yijia spoke first, "I know, this request is a bit too difficult for you. But... I don't want to lie to you, I really think so in my heart, and I didn't reject you directly because I really do I need to get married, so I asked you to ask you, but this is actually very unfair to you. There must be many good women who want to marry you for a young talent like you. Master Kang, don't think about it anymore Now, just now, you just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Kang Qikun murmured, "Then...then what are you going to do?"

Yijia said: "I also hope that you, Young Master Kang, can help me hide it. I will make excuses to my father and say that I don't want to. I will also pay for Mr. Kang..."

"No! That's not what I meant!" Kang Qikun said: "I mean, if I don't want to, what are you going to do? Where are you going to find someone who is willing? Do you want to find someone from a poor family who clings to your family for the sake of profit, or do you want to live forever? Why don't you marry?"

Yijia's face turned pale, she really didn't think about it.

A person who clings to her for profit, such a person will indeed give her face respect when he is incapable, but if he is capable, or one day his father will be gone, he will never give her face respect again. Respected.And maybe force her to do things she doesn't like.

And never marry for life, women never marry for life, she...she doesn't have the courage.No, she can become a nun and stay in the temple, she will be safe.

However, my father and aunt would definitely not agree.

Yijia was at a loss and couldn't answer Kang Qikun's question at all.

Kang Qikun looked at her, but suddenly his mind cleared up. He pointed at Yijia and stammered, "You...have you fallen in love with someone you shouldn't like?"

Yijia turned pale in shock and shook her head in a hurry, "No, no, no!"

However, Kang Qikun felt that she was quibbling, and said very firmly: "It must be. You fell in love with someone, but you can't like this person. So you want to find someone to marry, as long as you can maintain the appearance, it doesn't matter. You don't care whether he is a concubine and a concubine, or a bunch of concubines and concubines, because you don't like him, and you never thought of liking him! Why are you so stupid!"

At the end of the sentence, he already took on a scolding tone.

Yijia was scolded by him in a cold voice. For some reason, Liang Mingzhi's face immediately appeared in front of him.She was so frightened that her legs immediately went limp, and she staggered almost to the ground.

However, Kang Qikun suddenly stretched out his hands to support her two arms, shaking her, "Sister Zhou, you can't be so confused! You can't! If Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou knew about your appearance, how sad it would be, are you The jewel in their palm, but you actually have such an idea, if they know, what should they do?"

Seeing Yijia's ignorance, he continued: "There is also this person, since you know that you shouldn't like him, then you should forget about him and start a new life instead of getting stuck like this. The deeper you go, the more you spend your whole life in it!"

At this moment, he had long forgotten his thoughts on Yijia. He just regarded her as a little girl, a little sister, and was completely worried about her and heartbroken for her.

Yijia shook her head and tried her best to break away from him, "No, I don't, I have no one in my heart!"

She shouted in a low voice, but tears fell involuntarily.She hastily wiped away her tears, shook her head firmly, and said again: "I don't, don't guess, I don't!"

However, Kang Qikun felt that she was trying to hide the truth, and his heart ached even more, so he jumped up and down anxiously.

Yijia slowly regained her composure, and after telling herself again that she hadn't, she raised her head and looked at Kang Qikun.

"Master Kang, don't get me wrong, I don't have one." She said, "I'm leaving, so you can go down too. Let's leave it at that, and neither of us will mention it again."

"Sister Zhou!" Kang Qikun stretched out his hand to pull her, but he only reached the corner of her clothes.

The material was smooth and slipped out of his hands, and her people walked faster and further, farther and farther, and soon reached the gazebo halfway up the mountain.

Kang Qikun frowned in annoyance, and chased after him.

And behind the gazebo where the two were talking just now, a person suddenly jumped from a towering old tree.

He laughed a few times, and went down the mountain early from the side road.

As soon as Chen An arrived at the guest house, Chen Ping greeted him.

"Where did you go, I can't find you, sir, I already got angry just now!" Chen Ping reprimanded: "Can't you report to uncle in advance when you go out? If you look like this, uncle will drive you out sooner or later !"

"Uncle won't drive me out." Chen An's eyes were filled with pride, "Even if uncle drives you out, he won't drive me out."

Chen Ping was so angry that he pointed at him, Chen An made a face at him, and jumped into the room briskly.

Liang Mingzhi was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book. He has recovered a lot in the past few days.Because of Liang Mingxuan's anger that day, Dr. Jiang took the opportunity to completely clean up the residual poison for him. His injuries were not serious at all, so in the past few days, he has almost recovered for the most part.

Now the wound doesn't hurt too much when I sit up and eat, but I can't walk for too long, otherwise the wound will still be aching.

"Master!" Chen An shouted happily: "I have great news to tell you!"

Liang Mingzhi looked over with an unfriendly expression, "Where did you go?"

"I'm going to spy on Miss Zhou's second!" Chen An said with a face of reason: "I also discovered a big secret!"

Liang Mingzhi wanted to reprimand him after hearing the first half of the sentence, but stopped after hearing the second half.Throwing down the book, he was silent for a long while before he said with difficulty, "What big secret?"

Chen An moved a chair and sat down, filled his stomach with water first, and then vividly repeated what he had just heard on the hillside of Nanyan Mountain.He didn't add his own feelings, and he recounted everything Yijia and Kang Qikun said, even the expressions on their faces when they said each sentence.

Liang Mingzhi just felt his heart beating fast, as if it would pop out at any moment.

I like someone who shouldn't be liked.

I like someone who I can't like.

That's why she wanted to find someone to marry as long as she was decent on the surface, no matter how many concubines the other party had or how many concubines and concubines, because she would not give affection anymore, so it didn't matter to her.

The person who shouldn't like, can't like.

who is it?

Isn't he? !

Liang Mingzhi stood up abruptly, and was about to walk out.

"Master, where are you going?" Chen An was startled, and quickly stopped him.

Only then did Liang Mingzhi put his feet back in desperation, and sat back on the bed.

She is still in Nanyan Mountain, with her father, mother, sister, and members of the Kang family.Even if this marriage is really abandoned, even if the person in her heart is really herself, he can't run over now.

He ran over, how would he explain it to Zhou Chengyan?
But, this silly girl!
Is there anything you shouldn't like and can't like, but because of these reasons, you want to marry someone casually, what a fool!
He also thought of what Kang Qikun said, if Yijia really finds someone who clings to her for profit, Zhou Chengyan will not be around in the future, and she will still be eaten alive!And never marry for life, even if she really wanted to, he would not agree.

Thinking about these things, Liang Mingzhi felt restless.

Unable to go out, he got up and walked back and forth in the small room.It's just that this didn't ease the anxiety in his heart, on the contrary it made him more irritable.

He turned around to look at Chen An, and said, "Say it again, from when they went up the mountain to the first sentence they said, completely, and say it again."

Chen An stared at him with wide eyes, and opened his mouth wide.

Is this still their uncle?
How...how did the old man who always looked the same before Mount Tai collapsed, become, become...so like a brat?
Moreover, he didn't even hide it in front of him.

He thought that the uncle would suffer for his face and would never show any concern for the second lady.Who knows, it's just a few retellings, he, that's it!

Seeing that Liang Mingzhi's face turned obviously cold, Chen An didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he was too busy to recall carefully, and repeated what he said just now.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Yijia and his party returned to Changping Hutong.

Same as last time, Kang Qikun still sent them back, but his father was called out by Mr. Kang.

When going down the mountain, Xiao Song found Yijia's red eyes, and Yijia dealt with it on the grounds that the wind on the mountain had blown something into it.She disagreed with the marriage with Kang Qikun, and it was not easy to say it in front of everyone, so she patiently accompanied them until everyone parted.

On the way back, Kang Qikun offered to see them off again. She thought he was outside the carriage, so she didn't mention this matter to Xiao Song all the way.

After getting out of the carriage, after Xiao Song had spoken to Kang Qikun, Yijia hurriedly wanted to pull Xiao Song in.

Kang Qikun suddenly said, "Aunt Zhou, can I have a few words with my sister?"

Xiao Song said with a smile: "Then you come in and sit down, you have a hard journey, drink a cup of tea before you go." She didn't care about the front and back, and she didn't see Mrs. Kang's unwillingness to come.

It was really outrageous to speak at the door, so Kang Qikun nodded and agreed.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Chen Ping strode over.

First saluted Mrs. Song, then took a quick look at Kang Qikun, and then hurriedly said to Yijia: "Miss Zhou, my uncle asked you where the lotus picture he gave Mr. Zhou is. !"
