Chapter 254: The Chen Family
The house chosen by the eldest princess Fuyun for the Kang Yan sisters and brothers is in the Bibo Hutong area in the west of the capital, which is the residence of officials of the fourth grade or below, and the people living nearby are all official eunuchs, and it is very quiet on weekdays.

With the palace as the central axis, out of the palace gate, it is divided into two along the outside of Wumen Street, and most of the people who live in the east are above the third grade and the nobles, like Qi Chenjing's Anwangfu is on the east side of Wumen Street, and the Ningguo Mansion is also.
When the eldest princess Fuyun first chose a house for Kang Yan, after careful consideration, she felt that it was better to choose Kang Yan in Bibo Hutong, where mainly civil officials lived, and civil officials were more cautious in handling things on weekdays, and because the level of officials in this area was not too low, so safety was relatively guaranteed.
The eldest princess of Fuyun asked someone to inquire for a long time, and finally there was an official surnamed Hu in Bibo Hutong who wanted to move his family to the queen, and planned to dispose of the house in the capital.
When the Kang Yan sisters and brothers arrived, Zhao Cheng and Qingmei were waiting at the door with someone early.
They didn't follow the eldest princess Fuyun to the Ningguo Mansion.
This is the first time that Kang Yan and Xiao Jiu have entered Beijing to officially visit the Ningguo Mansion, her uncle, aunt, cousins, she hopes to visit her in a serious way, instead of being tired from the journey and going to visit in a hurry.
Qingmei personally stepped forward to help Kang Yan get out of the car, and when Kang Yanfu got out of the car, her eyes stayed on Qingmei's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and asked in surprise: "How many months?" ‘
Qingmei's cheeks were red, and she pursed her lips a little shyly and smiled: "It's been almost four months." ‘
She and Zhao Cheng are relatives of Cheng at the end of February.
Uncle Zhao and Mother Zhao would be happy if they knew. Kang Yeon smiled and teased her, "If you have a big fat grandson." The custodian Zhao's mother immediately ran to the capital to hug her grandson. ‘
Qingmei and Xinghua, the two maids who had been serving her faithfully in their previous lives, finally had a home, and Kang Yan's heart was naturally very happy. The connection also diluted the obscurity that had been hovering in her mind recently.
'Take care of yourself. Kang Yeon didn't need Qingmei's support and let go of her hand.
Zhao Cheng. Qingmei and his wife accompanied Kang Yan and Xiao Jiu to visit the layout of the house.
The big mansion built in Sijin is very spacious, much larger than the Kang family's house in Macheng Mansion.
However, the houses in the capital are built in a very different style from those in Macheng Mansion, which is located in the south, and most of the houses are exquisite and small, while the houses in the capital are built in an atmospheric and simple manner.
Passing through the outer courtyard and passing through the hall, there is a garden connecting the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and the garden is full of flowers and plants. The fragrance is fragrant, and there is a pavilion hidden in it.
After passing through the door of the moon cave, I entered the inner courtyard.
'The Ninth Young Master lives in the Tingfeng Courtyard in the outer courtyard, and when he gets married in the future, he can live in the Luoyu Garden in the inner courtyard, and your courtyard is in the Red Maple Garden in front. Qingmei pointed to a courtyard directly in front of her.
The name of the red maple garden is because of a two-person thick red maple planted on the right side of the courtyard entrance, and it is the end of August at the moment, and the red maple leaves of the trees are swaying in the wind, which is very beautiful!
The red maple trees grow so big and leafy that they cover half of the courtyard of the red maple garden in the shade of the trees. Summer should be cooler.
Kang Yeon is very satisfied with the house, if nothing else, this will be their home from now on.
Xiao Jiu, who looked at the yard where he lived, also walked in with a smile on his face, and knew that he was very satisfied with his yard without asking.
The siblings gossiped a few words and went separately to freshen up.
Until the evening. Kang Yancai asked Qingmei: 'What's the matter with that kid in King An's Mansion?' ‘
She was in a very impatient mood before setting off from Macheng Mansion, and she couldn't wait to fly to the capital immediately to ask Qi Chenjing what was going on.
But as she got closer and closer to the capital, her heart slowly settled down.
She began to analyze the whole story.
Qi Chenjing came to the capital at the end of October last year. It's only August now, unless he pampers that woman when he arrives in the capital.
Kang Yeon doesn't believe in that possibility.
Qingmei's face changed. took a closer look at Kang Yeon's face and saw that her face was calm. There was no intention of being unhappy, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pondered for a moment before speaking, "The specific slave and maid are not very clear, it was Zhao Cheng who heard outside that King An came back from outside with a child one day, and hired a nurse to let the people in the house take care of it properly, so it is not good for us to come to inquire." ‘
After a pause, Qingmei spoke again: "Don't worry, girl, the slave maid sees that King An is not a casual person, and there is also the eldest princess." ‘
Qingmei means that she wants to say that the eldest princess of Fuyun is watching, and Qi Chenjing doesn't dare to treat Kang Yan badly.
Kang Yan tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.
She was not sad, but after rational analysis, she knew that Qi Chenjing could not do such a thing now.
Not really worried.
However, it is definitely not groundless to say that such a thing is rumored, Kang Yan is only worried about whether someone is secretly calculating Qi Chenjing.
Qi Chenjing didn't know the news of her coming to the capital, and she didn't write to him before she left, but she believed that Qi Chenjing should have known that they had a tacit understanding before, and after the third anniversary of her parents, she would definitely leave for Beijing.
Knowing that the eldest princess Fuyun returned to Beijing, Qi Chenjing should have known that she was also here.
Don't know when you'll see him?
Kang Yan rested at home for a day, and the next morning she packed up and took Xiao Jiu and the two to the Ningguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion is a mansion that existed in the previous dynasty, and after the development of two generations of this dynasty, it is simple and atmospheric, calm and heavy.
The Duchess of Ningguo, Kong, took the two girls of the Chen family to wait for their sisters and brothers at the door of the hanging flowers in the inner house, knowing that her mother-in-law was most distressed by Kang Yan, not to mention her mother-in-law, her husband also loved her younger sister Xiangning County Lord very much, and knew that her most beloved sister still had blood and blood left in this world, and she was also excited.
Kong is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Fuyun, when she married into the Ningguo Mansion, the county lord of Xiangning was only six years old, she was also very distressed about this sister-in-law, and she was also sad for a long time when Xiangning was born.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Kang Yan has met her aunt and cousins, although they have known each other for a long time and will give each other gifts during the New Year, but they have never met.
The four aunts treat Kang Yan's sisters and brothers very kindly and very compassionately, there are only four girls in the Chen family, and the only ones who have not yet married are Chen Kexuan, the third girl of the Chen family, and Chen Kejie, the fourth girl who is only eleven years old this year.
Kang Yan's gaze stayed on Chen Kexuan for a moment, and seeing that although she had sorrow between her eyebrows, she did not lose her delicate character, and her impression of her couldn't help but be even better.
If it weren't for the problem of identity, in fact, Mencius Han and the third cousin were not unmatched, Mencius was cold and calm, Chen Kexuan was delicate and sweet, but it was a pity that .......
The fourth girl, Chen Kejie, is the daughter of the third uncle, with a gentle personality and a guest personality, and is easily shy.
The Chen family's big house has no daughters, and the eldest girl and the second girl are both daughters of Kang Yan's second uncle's family, and they have already been married.
Seeing the female dependents, the eldest princess Fuyun ordered someone to take their sisters and brothers to the outer courtyard to meet Kang Yan's uncles, and it happened that Chen Yikang came to the inner courtyard, so he automatically received this errand.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, Kang Yan felt that Chen Yikang was much more silent than before, and the group walked to the outer courtyard, but Chen Yikang didn't say anything else except for a few words with Xiao Jiu.
When he was about to arrive at the outer courtyard, he suddenly turned his head and said thoughtlessly: "Are you really not worried about the child who suddenly came out of King An's mansion?" ‘
Kang Yan looked at his slightly impatient eyebrows and smiled, "Cousin, what should I worry about?" ‘
Didn't you marry Qi Chenjing? Aren't you afraid that he has betrayed you?
Chen Yikang pursed her lips, seeing that Kang Yan's eyes were calm, not like a disguise, she was suddenly depressed, she was not worried, she was blindly worried about something, it was really redundant.
Thinking about it like this, I felt more and more uncomfortable in my heart, and walked in front with a heavy face.
This sixth cousin, it's really strange, Kang Yan shook her head, wanted to say something but found that she had already entered the outer courtyard, so she closed her mouth and didn't mention it again.
After lunch in the Ningguo Mansion, Xiao Jiu followed Chen Yikang and them to the outer courtyard, and Kang Yan stayed in the house to chat with the eldest princess Fuyun.
'I know that you have a lot of things to do when you first entered the house, and your grandmother will not leave you at home, and when the family and your affairs are arranged, you and Xiao Jiu will come to live for a while and accompany me. ‘
The eldest princess of Fuyun took Kang Yan's hand and admonished.
Kang Yan naturally has no objections, anyway, it won't take long to walk here from Bibo Hutong.
''What are you going to do these days?'' The eldest princess of Fuyun was in a good mood and took her hand and asked.
Kang Yan thought for a while and replied, "I want to visit Danhua first, she has set up two shops for me in the capital, first go to see the location and the condition of the shop, and then go to the garden in the west of the city to see how the flowers are growing." ‘
The eldest princess of Fuyun knew that Kang Yan had bought a piece of land in the west of the city and was building a garden and planting flowers.
'Well, go, if you need any help, just come to your uncle and aunts. The eldest princess of Fuyun advised.
After a pause, he remembered one thing again, 'You have to ask Mother Song to tell you about the rules of the palace, the queen mother and the emperor know that you have entered the palace and should see you.' ‘
Kang Yan was stunned, 'The Queen Mother and the Emperor want to see me?' ‘
Thinking about it, I felt that I was making a fuss, since she is now the lord of Lanxin County who was personally appointed by the emperor, she entered Beijing, and the queen mother and the emperor naturally wanted to see her.
''Well, grandmother, don't worry, I know what to do.'' Kang Yeon's complexion returned to her composure.
The eldest princess of Fuyun nodded with satisfaction when she saw this, and finally did not waste her personal teaching during this time.
"Then Jing'er, when do you plan to meet, and your marriage, it's time to plan." ‘
mentioned her and Qi Chenjing's family affairs, Kang Yan was silent.
With the current situation that Qi Chenjing is being watched so closely by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, they will definitely not allow Qi Chenjing to marry with the Ningguo Mansion. (To be continued.) )
