"Third cousin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Kang Yan quietly observed Chen Kexuan for a while, and when she saw that she was looking at the garden in front of her in a daze, she shouted.

Chen Kexuan was shocked, she was so distracted by what she was thinking about just now, she didn't notice Kang Yan coming over.

"Did my cousin go to greet my grandmother?" Chen Kexuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, her expression was slightly unnatural, and she walked to the chair in the middle of the pavilion and sat down, "Cousin also sits." ”

The stone chair is covered with a thick light blue embroidered brocade flower cushion, and it doesn't feel cold at all to sit on.

Kang Yan looked at Chen Kexuan carefully, and felt that this third cousin was not the same as what her grandmother said before.

When she lived in Macheng Mansion, she and Princess Fuyun often talked about several cousins of the Chen family, so although Kang Yan had never met them before, she had a certain understanding of their personalities.

My grandmother once said that among the few cousins in the family, the third cousin of the fourth uncle's family is the most active, because the fourth uncle and aunt spoil her, so the third cousin's temperament is quite not afraid of heaven and earth.

But since Kang Yan entered Beijing, the Chen Kexuan she has seen looks a lot quieter, not like the lawless girl who was pampered by her parents in her grandmother's mouth.

Chen Kexuan in front of him was wearing a green gown embroidered with peach blossoms, a moon-white pomegranate pleated skirt, a melon seed face, eyes like paint, and a white complexion, but unfortunately the fifteen-year-old bright girl had a layer of sorrow between her eyebrows.

"Why is the third cousin standing here?" Kang Yan could see that she had something on her mind, and after thinking about it, she still didn't ask Chen Kexuan directly.

After all, although they are cousins, she has not been in the capital for a long time. It's really not too familiar, so she took the liberty of asking people what was on their minds. If Chen Kexuan didn't want to say it, it would only increase the embarrassment.

Chen Kexuan raised her eyes and smiled. "Oh, I'm in the yard, I'll come out to breathe."

The breeze blew, lifting the bangs on her forehead, and her eyes narrowed slightly, covering the gloom in her eyes.

Kang Yan thought for a while and said, "I'm just going out to the west of the city, our family's Tianxiang Garden is about to be built, and the third cousin is interested in coming with me to have a look." ”

Chen Kexuan hesitated for a moment. Nodding.

instructed someone to set up a car, and the two went all the way through the downtown to Tianxiangyuan.

Chen Kexuan knew that Kang Yan would go out every day to work on her garden, and she had heard that the garden had been almost decorated, but it was her first time coming.

As soon as you enter the gate of Tianxiangyuan, you will see a white stone bridge facing you, and on the opposite side of the bridge is a rockery with strange rocks, some of the stones on it are like naughty little monkeys, and some are like loyal dogs. Others resemble bulky bears.

Chen Kexuan was immediately attracted by the scenery in front of her.

Kang Yeon let her walk around at will, and she went to North Park herself.

In addition to the garden in the middle of the rockery, Kangyan built four different gardens in each of the four directions, named after the east, west, north and south.

The North Park was built in imitation of the scenery of the north. There is a tall autumn fragrance pavilion with red pillars and green tiles in the garden, which is beautiful under the cover of dense green forests. Outside the green forest is a maple forest, which is the most suitable for autumn foliage.

Across the maple grove are patches of chrysanthemums. In autumn, you can enjoy the chrysanthemums. You can also enjoy the autumn leaves.

In this chrysanthemum, Kang Yeon plans to plant a variety of different varieties to form a beautiful chrysanthemum garden.

She wore a coat outside, and was squatting on the ground carefully planting chrysanthemum seedlings in the soil, this season is the season when chrysanthemums bloom, and it is no longer suitable for planting chrysanthemums, so she has to carefully use thermal insulation measures to make chrysanthemums grow well.

Chen Kexuan ran over from a distance, three gardens, she walked for nearly an hour, her body was sweating, her little face was flushed, her eyes were clear and bright, and she was no longer quiet and melancholy before she came.

"Cousin, did you really let you build these?" Chen Kexuan blinked her eyes and looked at Kang Yan's eyes with adoration, "It's so beautiful, I like the lotus pond in the East Garden, the lotus flowers are so beautiful, I didn't expect to see lotus flowers now, cousin, you are so amazing." ”

The water in that pool is warm, so the lotus flowers naturally bloom for a long time.

"If you like, you can come back often." Kang Yan looked at her bright eyes and said with a smile, "However, you can't just come to play, you have to help me with the work, No, come and help me plant chrysanthemums." ”

Chen Kexuan looked at the extra little chrysanthemum in her hand, and her little face wrinkled, "Cousin, I won't plant this." ”

Kang Yan replied without raising her head: "If you don't know how to plant, you can learn, we don't know how many things we won't do in the future, we can't stop doing it because we can't, come, I'll teach you, you see, dig the pit about a palm deep, and put the chrysanthemum branch into it........"

Kang Yeon's voice was soft and calm, with a calming force.

Chen Kexuan's heart, which had been noisy, suddenly calmed down, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, and she could hear the meaning of Kang Yan's words just now.

She saw that she had something on her mind and brought herself here.

Let yourself relax, but don't ask yourself what the reason is, quietly enlighten yourself, my cousin is a considerate person.

Chen Kexuan's heart unconsciously gave birth to two points of intimacy with Kang Yan.

She restrained her mind, watched Kang Yan demonstrate for her seriously, and planted chrysanthemums behind Kang Yan.

After a while, Kang Yan's helpless voice was remembered in the chrysanthemum garden, "Third cousin, when you bury the soil, you should leave a small pit so that you can bring it back for watering." ”

"Uh, I forgot." Full of apologetic voices.

"Third cousin, when planting, you should look at the front and back, left and right, and pay attention to alignment, otherwise it will not be beautiful."

Chen Kexuan looked at the crooked chrysanthemums planted behind him speechlessly, and her face was a little sneering, "Cousin, am I too stupid, I can't do this well." She turned her head to look at Kang Yan's neat chrysanthemums that came out again, with a frustrated face.

"Cousin, how can you be so much, I don't seem to know anything."

Kang Yanwaner, "I learned this since I was a child, so naturally it is better than you, don't be discouraged." You're much better than the first time I planted flowers, and you can do it all over again.

Kang Yeon encouraged her to pull out the chrysanthemums that were not straight and replant them again.

Chen Kexuan knew that Kang Yan was comforting her and bit her lip. According to Kang Yan's teachings, he changed little by little, and gradually a row of beautiful and neat chrysanthemum branches appeared in front of him.

Kang Yan patted the dirt on her hands, "Look, as long as you work hard, you can do things that you wouldn't have been able to do, third cousin, the growth of people always has to pay a price and work hard, don't feel sad, as long as you know what you want." Stick with it, and you're sure to achieve what you were trying to achieve in the first place. ”

She pulled Chen Kexuan to look at the neat rows of chrysanthemums, "Nuo, don't you think it's beautiful?" ”

In the open space in front of him, palm-sized pale green chrysanthemum plants were lined up in rows, neatly and neatly, and the breeze blew, and the small leaves trembled and trembled.

Chen Kexuan's heart also trembled, and there was a moment. She felt that Kang Yeon should know what was on her mind.

On the return carriage, Chen Kexuan took Kang Yan's arm and gently rested her head on Kang Yan's shoulder.

Today's group, the two of them are obviously a lot more intimate.

"Cousin. I want to ask you a question. Chen Kexuan's faint voice carried a faint sigh.

"If I ask, I will tell you what I know."

Chen Kexuan was silent, playing with her fingers. He seemed to hesitate what to say, and only spoke for a moment. "King An has lived in Macheng Mansion before, um. I mean, did the guard beside him follow him before? What kind of person is he? ”

Finally asked the question in her heart, Chen Kexuan breathed a sigh of relief and waited with bated breath for Kang Yan's answer.

Mencius Han? I really guessed correctly, what Chen Kexuan was entangled in was indeed Meng Zihan.

"He, I don't know very well, I only know that his family was a famous family in the previous dynasty, Meng Zihan is not a slave of the prince, he is a friend of the prince, and he once saved the life of the prince, so he will be hired by King An to work by his side." Kang Yan actually didn't fully know Meng Zihan's situation, so she only said what she knew, and deliberately pointed out that Meng Zihan was Qi Chenjing's friend, not a subordinate.

Chen Kexuan listened silently for a long time, and the heroic man who hugged himself into his arms on the paddock of spring hunting and later threw himself to the ground came to mind.

He doesn't seem to be talkative, and his temperament is a bit cold.

After Kang Yan finished speaking, she wanted to ask Chen Kexuan's opinion on Meng Zihan, thinking about it after all, she didn't speak, the girl's mind is the most complicated and difficult to understand, and it is estimated that the third cousin herself doesn't know her true thoughts.

Chen Kexuan sighed, she was not a fool, after coming back from the paddock, when she was lying on the bed to recuperate, she thought about it a lot, and she also knew that she had fallen into the trap of Dong Er's girl, and used her lively and uncontrollable temperament to deal with King An.

The second girl Dong will do this, there is naturally someone behind it, think about the people behind the Dong family, it is not difficult to guess the antecedents of this matter.

She didn't complain about Meng Zihan, he also had to ........ to save himself, the two of them were just two chess pieces in this trap.

It's just, do you really want to marry him? She was a little confused.

Chen Kexuan hesitated for a long time, sat up straight, and spoke a little hesitantly, "I heard my father and mother say yesterday that Meng Zihan was missing, and said that it may be that King An quietly disposed of him, in order to give an explanation to the Chen family, cousin, you said that King An regarded him as a friend, so he shouldn't dispose of him, right?" ”

Is this worrying about Mencius Han? Kang Yan blinked, was Chen Kexuan worried about Meng Zihan?

Chen Kexuan was a little uncomfortable by her, lowered her head, and her face quietly blushed, although she didn't know why she blushed.

The corners of Kang Yan's mouth rose, she barely suppressed the corners of her mouth, straightened her face, and said: "I don't know, the incident in the paddock, although it is said that Meng Zihan saved you out of good intentions, but in the end it is related to your reputation, and it is reasonable for King An to deal with him to make amends to the Chen family." ”

Chen Kexuan's face turned pale, and he subconsciously blurted out, "But, but he is innocent, besides, he rescued me at that time for King An, how could the prince treat him like this?" ”

Kang Yan sighed, "Third cousin, the moment he came to save you, he was not innocent. ”

Chen Kexuan fell silent.

At that time, although it was only out of expediency, he begged his father to promise to marry Meng Zihan, in order to let himself take the initiative first and to maintain his reputation.

But after that, she always unconsciously thought of Meng Zihan. The taciturn man.

Even in her dreams, she sometimes dreams of the two arrows together. Riding on the same horse, she sat on his chest. The warm breath of the man behind her rang in her ears, making her feel overwhelmed.

Chen Kexuan didn't know what the reason for her complicated thoughts was, but she knew that she began to care about the man named Meng Zihan.

She herself didn't care about things like status, but she knew that her parents would not be willing to let her suffer, so she definitely didn't agree to her marrying Meng Zihan.

Therefore, her marriage contract with Meng Zihan is destined to be an agreement that will not be fulfilled, even if King An does not make a move, her parents will find a way to dissolve the marriage contract for her after the limelight has passed.

Every time the thought came to me. There was a faint sense of loss in her heart.

She didn't want to make her parents sad, but when she thought of the indifferent man who saved her life being disposed of like this, her heart was a lot heavier.

But she couldn't talk about this complex secret mind.

Looking at Chen Kexuan's changing expression, Kang Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

Although her third cousin is still ignorant in her heart at the moment, and her love has not yet opened, she is afraid that she already has the shadow of Meng Zihan, otherwise she will not be so entangled, and she will be lost for a while. It's going to hurt my nerves.

If she hadn't heard the news of Meng Zihan's disappearance, I am afraid that she would not hesitate to ask this question.

couldn't bear her to be sad, Kang Yan said in a low voice: "Don't worry." Meng Zihan is not an ordinary guard, he is a friend of King An, and King An will not dispose of him casually. ”

"How does my cousin know?" Chen Kexuan's eyes lit up. There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and he asked the question purely out of disbelief.

Kang Yeon's face flushed. A little uncomfortably, he touched the hair hanging down from his sideburns, "Naturally, it's speculation." ”

In fact. Meng Zihan was sent to the capital by Qi Chenjing, and went to other places to deal with important matters.

This is naturally what Qi Chenjing said when he went to see him that night.

Thinking of the scene when the two of them always met in the middle of the night, Kang Yan's heart was hot, shy and sweet, and her face became more and more ruddy.

Don't know what he's doing now? Is he reading a book, or is he teasing Heng'er, I heard that Heng'er is getting more and more fun, and I don't know when I will be able to see the child openly.

Kang Yan was a little distracted when she thought about it.

Fortunately, Chen Kexuan was also immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't find anything strange about Kang Yan.

When she heard Kang Yan say that it was speculation, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she thought that her cousin had definite news.

I hope that Meng Zihan is really fine.

The two girls in the car, each immersed in their own thoughts, fell silent.

When I returned to Ningguo Mansion, I met Chen Yikang, who also returned from outside, as soon as I entered the door.

"Where have you been?" Chen Yikang frowned, looked at Kang Yan, Chen Kexuan's clothes, although the clothes were neat, but the little sludge at the corners of the skirts was very conspicuous.

Chen Kexuan stuck out her tongue and went out, but her mood was still much better.

"We went to my cousin's Tianxiangyuan, oops, sixth brother, you have to go and see it another day when you have kung fu, it's really beautiful inside, and my cousin is really capable." Chen Kexuan vigorously recommended Tianxiangyuan to Chen Yikang.

"Really?" Chen Yikang took a deep look at Kang Yan behind Chen Kexuan with smiling eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Then I really want to take a look." ”

Since Kang Yan first came to Ningguo Mansion, Chen Yikang took her to the outer courtyard to meet her uncles, and after the two broke up, this was the first time they met.

Although Kang Yan now lives in Ningguo Mansion, she rarely meets Chen Yikang, because she has to go to Tianxiangyuan every day to work, or to visit Qiao Danhua, and she is very busy.

And Chen Yikang heard that he also goes out early and returns late every day, so they naturally have few opportunities to meet.

Kang Yan invited him with a smile, "Where is it as good as the third cousin said, but now I don't know more than half of it, and when everything is cleaned up, I will definitely invite my uncle, aunt and cousin to go where to play for a day." ”

Chen Yikang's smile faded by two points, and he said a good word with his chin, then raised his feet and left first, looking at the back and looking a little unhappy.

Kang Yeon was a little inexplicable, how could she offend this sixth cousin?

Chen Kexuan pulled her inside, and whispered: "My sixth brother has the most eccentric temper since he was a child, and he is proud, don't pay attention to him." ”

Kang Yeon sighed. Didn't speak.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and it was mid-October. Qi Chenjing, the king of An, who had been grounded at home, finally came to the sight of the grounded and walked out of the palace of King An. Officially began to go to court.

Qi Chenjing, who re-entered the court, was alone and silent in the court, and never took the initiative to speak if no one asked.

After the emperor saw it, he felt that the dragon's heart was happy.

Without the support of the Chen family and the support of the eldest princess Fuyun, Qi Chenjing would be limited even if he wanted to jump again.

Kang Yan saw Qi Chenjing's forbearance.

He is like a swift cheetah, with a low-key and deep appearance. But inside, he watched everything around him with wide eyes, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move.

Two days later, the Cheng family sent someone to report the good news, saying that Jordan Hua gave birth to a big fat boy of seven pounds and six taels.

Kang Yan is very happy for Jordan Hua, Cheng Minyuan is the only son in the family, and Mrs. Cheng prays every day that Qiao Danhua can give birth to a son.

This time, he got his wish, and gave birth to a son in the first child, which was a good thing for Jordan Hua, and since then. Jordan's position in the Cheng family will be more stable.

Cheng Minyuan ended his observation of politics in the Sixth Ministry, and served as a small Lang official in the Ministry of Households, although the official position was not high, but he was a Beijing official. Tobe is also not very busy, and he can often have time to spend with Jordan Hua at home.

On the day of the third day, Kang Yan went to Cheng's house with the meeting gift that had been prepared a long time ago.

Jordan Hua was weak after giving birth. But the spirit is very good, and the whole person has changed significantly from before.

She hugged her son in her hand with satisfaction. whispered to Kang Yan: "Ayan, this feeling is really strange. I used to feel that I came here inexplicably, and I always felt a sense of insecurity in my heart, I always felt that I didn't belong here, and I didn't know when I would suddenly go back, but now that I have this child, my whole thinking is different from before, and there has never been such a strong sense of belonging here as at that moment. ”

Jordan kissed Zhengxiang's son, who was sleeping, and tried hard to describe his feelings to Kang Yan, "I think now that no matter who I used to be, I am just Jordan Hua now, I have to live well, otherwise my child will become a motherless child, how pitiful he should be." ”

When she said this, she looked at the child in her arms with a loving face, and her whole person was full of maternal brilliance.

Motherhood is strong, the truth conveyed in this sentence remains unchanged for eternity.

Kang Yeon sighed in her heart.

Although Jordan Hua is from the afterlife, he actually has something similar to her rebirth, and only he can understand her feelings.

Looking at Qiao Danhua's happy face, Kang Yan's heart was both happy and faintly envious, she didn't know when she would be able to marry Qi Chenjing and have her own children?

I don't know if Ning'er will be her son in this life?

After all, she hadn't seen Qi Chenjing for two months.

Two days later, he should attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, right?

The Queen Mother's birthday is on October 26, and according to the rules, officials above the fourth grade in the capital must bring their families into the palace to congratulate.

October 26 came soon, because it was the birthday of the Queen Mother, the emperor issued an early decree that red lanterns were hung in the whole city to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother.

The palace is full of lanterns, the birthday banquet is set up in the viewing pavilion in the palace, the viewing pavilion is a two-storey building in the shape of a hollow shape, there are two floors of pavilions in the north and south, the east and west sides of the pavilion are connected with a long corridor, and form a hollow shape.

A stage was built in the middle of the open space, and people could watch the play from any corner of the small building.

At this moment, the observation pavilion is brightly lit, illuminating the entire courtyard of the observation pavilion as if it were daytime.

The bright red lanterns swayed and danced in the slightly cold night breeze, and the moon in the sky was like a hook, and the hazy moonlight covered the entire viewing pavilion with a hazy veil, but it did not reduce the lively scene inside.

The sound of silk and bamboo, wind music, and soft singing voices converge into a luxurious feast.

Kang Yan was personally led by the Duchess of Ning Guo and introduced to all the ladies present.

Although I had long known that the daughter of the eldest princess of Fuyun, Lord Xiangning, still had a pair of children alive, it was the first time for the female relatives present to see Kang Yan.

Kang Yan politely talked to everyone in a circle, there were too many people, and after a circle, she remembered that she was dizzy just by remembering people's names.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was watching the play, Kang Yan quietly came out of the building and stood in the corner of the verandah on the second floor to hide quietly.

The night breeze lifted the corners of her skirt, and under the reflection of the red lantern, her complexion was like jade, and she smiled at the lively drama singing below, The pear vortex looming on her lips added two points of softness to her, and the eyes of the man behind her were slightly straight.

"County Lord, it's cold and windy at night, why don't you go in?" (To be continued.) )
