Chapter 207: Senior Brother
It was completely dark, but it wasn't completely dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The lantern under the porch was lit early, and the courtyard was bright.
The figures in the room are reflected in the window lattice.
Ren Shishun personally stood at the door and guarded, and even Ren Shinian, who had been allocated to Kang Yan, was also guarding the courtyard with a solemn expression.
Kang Yan took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the eldest princess Fuyun, and walked into the house.
The door creaked and closed behind her.
Kang Yeon blinked, adjusting to the light in the room, but when she saw the people in the room, she was taken aback.
In the house, the eldest princess of Fuyun sat at the top, and the person sitting on the left and the bottom sat in a long beard and white robe, with a calm face, it was the mountain chief Yan Heqing of Nanshan Academy.
Yan Heqing's head was lowered, but Su Chenjing was sitting with a confused face.
On the right side of the eldest princess of Fuyun sat Cheng and his wife, Cheng Xinyi's face was calm, and Mrs. Cheng's expression was faintly panicked.
She is not surprised that Lord Cheng and his wife are here, and even Su Chenjing is here, she is mentally prepared, in the afternoon, her grandmother kept asking her about Su Chenjing, and she guessed that it must be Lord Cheng and his wife who said Su Chenjing.
Her grandmother would send someone to call her, most likely to tell her the truth.
It's just, how could Mr. Yan be here?
"Yan'er is here, sit down." The eldest princess of Fuyun gestured to Kang Yan.
Kang Yan sat down under Mrs. Cheng and opposite Su Chenjing.
As soon as he sat down, he saw Su Chenjing's eyes fall on him. The eagerness and confusion in his eyes were obvious.
Since the eldest princess Fuyun came, he hadn't seen Kang Yan for almost a month, and he had the heart to come to Zhuangzi to see her. The eldest princess of Fuyun guarded Zhuangzi without revealing a drop of water, and he didn't dare to break in rashly, not because he was afraid of those guards, after all, he was still confident in his outstretched hand, he was just afraid that the eldest princess Fuyun's impression of him would fall again.
Some time ago, at the wedding banquet between Cheng Minyuan and Jordan Hua, he met Kang Yan from afar. But there were too many people to speak. How can this be for him, who is full of concern for Kang Yan.
Today, the commander of the guards beside the eldest princess of Fuyun suddenly found him, saying that the eldest princess of Fuyun was invited, and he was overjoyed. thought it was a turn for the better between him and Kang Yeon.
But looking at the current posture, it doesn't seem to be like that at all.
He asked Kang Yeon what had happened with his eyes.
Kang Yan smiled bitterly, she was also wondering what was going on.
Seeing Kang Yan smiling bitterly and shaking her head, Su Chenjing's heart sank, and her eyes moved to the eldest princess Fuyun sitting above.
The eldest princess of Fuyun looked solemn, was silent for a moment, sighed, and then spoke, "Senior brother." I called you here today, I guess what happened? β
She looked at Yan Heqing, who was sitting on her right.
A "senior brother" made Kang Yan and Su Chenjing sit up straight in surprise. Kang Yan even subconsciously let out a short cry.
Maternal grandmother called Mr. Yan a senior brother? How is this possible?
Kang Yan was completely stunned.
She remembered that the eldest princess Fuyun had told her that she had a senior brother, and that was when she first met her grandmother, who gave him half of the nutrient solution recipe in her hand, and she was curious at that time and asked why there was only half of this book.
Her grandmother told her at the time that the remaining half of the book was in the hands of her brother Shi Mingyi.
Kang Yan frowned, at that time she remembered that her grandmother had said that her senior brother Shi Mingyi was no longer in this world. But why does she call Mr. Yan her senior brother now?
No wonder my grandmother's expression was so complicated when she talked about the past, it could be that Shi Mingyi was not dead at all. But he became the current Mr. Yan?
Kang Yeon was stunned by her own speculation.
If Shi Mingyi is still alive, why did he change his surname, is it because Emperor Daliang will not allow them?
But Emperor Taizu has been dead for so long, why hasn't Mr. Yan reverted to his original surname?
What's more, Kang Yan's eyes fell on Yan Heqing's white beard, this Mr. Yan obviously only passed his sixtieth birthday some time ago, but his grandmother is already sixty and three, how can he be his grandmother's senior brother.
Kang Yeon's heart flashed with a lot of conjectures for a moment.
Su Chenjing didn't know about the past of the eldest princess Fuyun, let alone that she once had a senior brother, although she was surprised that the eldest princess Fuyun would have a brother-sister relationship with the world-famous Mr. Ruyan, but she was just surprised, and there were not many other associations.
But when Yan Heqing's gaze fell on him, his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, there was sadness, excitement, and a faint confusion, Su Chenjing couldn't sit still.
He knew that every time he saw this Mr. Yan, he looked at himself very strangely, as if he was looking through someone he seemed to know, but Mr. Yan's gaze at that time was much more subtle, far less direct than now.
What the hell is going on? Su Chenjing frowned.
Yan Heqing took his eyes off Su Chenjing, landed on the eldest princess of Fuyun, and nodded.
The eldest princess of Fuyun looked at Lord Cheng, "Cheng Xinzhi, repeat what you said to the palace yesterday." β
Master Cheng nodded, looked at Su Chenjing, and then swept Kang Yan, who looked a little dazed, and slowly opened his mouth, "What I want to tell is a story that happened twenty years ago. β
His voice was low and gentle, except for the occasional burst of candles in the room, only the slow and deep voice of Master Cheng remained.
"Twenty years ago, I just entered Nanshan Academy to study, thanks to my husband who took great care of me, by chance, I heard the quarrel between my husband and his little daughter, because I was afraid that my husband would feel embarrassed, I couldn't go away, so I had to hide in the dark, but I unexpectedly heard Mr.'s secret."
Cheng Xinzhi's eyes were a little abrupt, as if he had returned to twenty years ago when he was walking in the academy and walked to a rockery in a hidden corner, he unexpectedly heard a fierce quarrel between his husband and his young daughter.
"It's ridiculous, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of your parents, and your father doesn't allow you to be with that man." The angry voice of the gentleman came into Cheng Xin's ears.
Cheng Xinzhi was embarrassed for a moment, he wanted to go out, but if he walked out now, it would inevitably make his husband and his daughter even more embarrassed, so he had to stand in the dark calmly, thinking about leaving after the two left.
Unexpectedly, the more the two quarreled, the more fierce they became, and Mr. Yan was angry for a while and told the fact that his family was once a general of the former dynasty.
"Yishi, do you know where your name came from? It is the name that my father gave you in order to commemorate our Shi family, more than 100 lives of our Shi family have died in the hands of the current Emperor Liang, and my father has changed his name and surname over the years, and he doesn't even dare to touch his favorite flower......... And your poor eldest brother who has never met, when I sent him out, he was only five years old, we have a blood feud with the Daliang royal family, how can you like our enemy, what face do you have to go to see your ancestors and ancestors for your father's future? Mr. Yan looked at the young girl who was crying incessantly, and all the blame turned into a heavy sigh.
Yan Yishi was obviously stunned by the family history that his father suddenly informed, and he couldn't do anything but cry, and after a long time, he choked up and said: "Father, I know what you mean, but, but he is just an idle clan, and he is not close to the blood relationship of Emperor Daliang, and it is the emperor who sits on the throne who killed our family, he was still young at that time, and he has nothing to do with him........"
Mr. Yan's angry voice remembered again, "You are confused, no matter how close the relationship is, he is also surnamed Qi, he is the royal family of Daliang, as long as the surname Qi is the enemy of our Shi family, your father will never allow you to be with the enemy, you think about it, I will let your mother find a family for you in a few days, you forget him." β
"Father, I don't want to ........," Yan Yishi's voice came from pleading and crying.
The burst of candles with a "pop" pulled Cheng Xinzhi back to reality from his memory, and he looked at Yan Heqing, who looked complicated and sad.
He just said a rough overview of what he heard at the time, and the rest of the words were more appropriate for Mr. Yan to say by himself, and some things were not convenient for him to speak.
Yan Heqing stroked his beard and said: "Yishi is the young daughter of the old man, and the only daughter, since she was a child, our couple has loved her the most, and she has been pampered a little, who knows that she fell in love with a son from the capital, and when the old man found out, he sent someone to investigate his net worth background, but found that he was a clan chief mountain king of Daliang. β
After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he saw that the talents in the imperial family withered, and he felt very sorry in his heart, and many of the children of the clan were knighted.
Kang Yan knew this history, and thought that since she could be named a prince, it meant that her bloodline was very close to Emperor Taizu, and most of the farther ones were feudal county kings, national dukes or lower titles.
"After the old man found out his identity, he naturally disagreed with his daughter being with him, and this is the quarrel that Xinzhi heard, I thought it would be okay to lock up my daughter, but who knew that a month later, my daughter disappeared, and the king of Changshan disappeared along with him."
Yan Heqing's brows furrowed tightly, and he still remembers the panic and anger when he found out that his young daughter was missing, "I was furious, and I personally led people to chase after the capital, but I accidentally found that the Changshan King living in the capital was not the one I saw in Macheng Mansion, and I knew that the person who was in Macheng Mansion was not Changshan King at all." β
Kang Yan and Su Chenjing glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, it wasn't the King of Changshan, who was that? Could it be a liar?
Also, what do these past events have to do with them? Why did you call the two of them and talk about these old things?
Kang Yan felt that the uneasy emotion crept up again, hovering in her heart. (To be continued)
