Every time the flowers that are rated as the top three will become the most sought after flowers, the flowers that are rated as Oiran will be selected by the imperial court as tribute flowers, in order to decorate the palace and for the ladies in the palace to admire and wear, and the flowers are occupied by the court officials, noble families, etc., and the flower monarch has become the most popular flower among the common people.

Therefore, there are a lot of merchants who raise flowers and sell flowers in Daliang, in order to be able to enjoy the flowers, the flower will win a lottery, the slightly richer businessmen have their own gardens at home, which are specially used for planting and cultivating flowers and plants, and some people's gardens are also open to the outside world for outsiders to visit and appreciate.

Qinxiang Garden is the garden purchased by Kang Zhixun, the flowers, flower tea and all kinds of dried flowers that can be used for medicine sold in the Kang family's shop are all planted in Qinxiang Garden, but Qinxiang Garden is never open to the public, and the rest of the Kang family only knows that Kang Zhixun has such a garden, but he has never entered it, and his heart has long been dying of Qinxiang Garden.

Now that she said that she wanted to succeed Xiaojiu, the first thing that Zhou thought of was Qinxiang Garden, if such a good garden was given to her, then she and her son would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

As soon as Zhou's voice fell, everyone else gasped, and before Kang Yan could speak, Liu sneered: "The sixth brother and sister are sitting on the ground, and their appetite is not small." We will pass Erlang is to endure the pain of love, for the second brother's incense, never thought about what benefits in exchange, my psychology of being a mother is actually very uncomfortable, the sixth brother and sister took a fancy to the second brother only chose Xiao Jiu, the child, right? Just thinking about it in exchange for benefits, tsk, it's not biological. The sarcastic words of Zhou's sarcasm just now were sarcastic back as they were.

Uncle Kang, who has always promised to be a gentleman, finally reacted from the fact that Erlang could not succeed, in his heart, Erlang's succession is a matter of course, and it is the most formal and etiquette thing, I don't know why the second brother and younger siblings will not choose Erlang, although he is puzzled, but he feels that the wishes of the deceased should be followed, and now when he hears Zhou's words, he can't help but be very disgusted: "It's really an ignorant woman, ridiculous, what kind of system do you become like this, the sixth brother, the so-called godson in front of the hall, the godwife by the pillow......."

No one paid attention to Uncle Kang's dropped book bag, and the third uncle Kang and the fourth uncle Kang's family also felt that the Zhou family's request was a bit excessive, and the fourth uncle Kang frowned and said: "Sixth brother and sister, the inheritance of the heir is a major matter of the clan, and it is not a transaction, how can there be a reason to bargain." ”

Mrs. Kang Wu Ma is the most cautious, she thinks that if Kang Yan agrees to Zhou's request, Qinxiangyuan will not become the sixth and the second, then the Zhou family will not be allowed to walk sideways at home, originally the fourth brother is the eldest son, the most valued, the sixth is the youngest son is the most loved, their family is the most unpopular at home, the old lady treats her, if the sixth and the two get Qinxiangyuan, there will be a foothold for the couple in the future? Thinking about it like this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and also said: "It's really a bit inappropriate for the sixth brother and sister to be like this, alas, the second brother and the second sister-in-law didn't take a fancy to our Xiaoqi, if you choose our Xiaoqi, I won't say a word to your fifth brother, just let him kowtow and change his words." ”

Zhou sneered and spat on the ground, "Phew, don't pretend to be a good person, it makes people look disgusting, the second brother and second sister-in-law want to really choose your children, you may be more ruthless than me this time, maybe the second brother and sister-in-law have already seen through your talent and did not choose Erlang and Xiaoqi, besides, I mentioned it to Yan'er, Yan'er hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about?" Don't be afraid that you won't get any benefits, right? ”

The third old lady kept drooping her eyelids, as if she hadn't heard or seen the quarrel in front of her, anyway, the Zhou family won the quarrel, her grandson had to benefit, and if the quarrel was lost, Xiao Jiu was still her grandson.

Kang Yan, who had been watching them quarrel and didn't make a sound, spoke at this time: "Sixth aunt, what if I don't agree?" ”

Zhou was stunned, and then shouted: "Then I can only be sorry for you, you can find someone else to inherit your father's incense, Xiao Jiu still stays as my son." ”

Xiao Jiu, who was standing next to Kang Yan, held Kang Yan's hand tightly, raised his head and retorted: "I don't want to be your son, you have never treated me as a son, why bother pretending to be here." ”

Zhou's face changed, and he stepped forward habitually, picked up his arm and was about to hit Xiao Jiu, "You little rabbit cub, if you dare to talk back to the old lady, you don't succeed for a day, you have to be the son of the old lady one day." ”

After all, he was still a child, Kang Yan grabbed Xiao Jiu and flashed back, looking at the patriarch who had not spoken, "Uncle Grandpa, what do you think of this ........?" ”

The patriarch's face was a little unsightly, he didn't expect the third old lady to be so faceless, he spoke, and the sixth daughter-in-law dared to be such a scoundrel, "Zhengwu, what do you think about this?" Tell me a word. ”

Zhengwu is the name of the third old lady, and he is now a person with a lot of children and grandchildren, and the patriarch will not call his name directly on weekdays, which will call him by his name in front of his children and grandchildren, which shows that he is really angry.

The third old lady thought farther, at first he thought if he could change to an obedient grandson, and later after Kang Yan said those words in Wan'an Temple, coupled with the patriarch's statement, he felt that he could only succeed Xiao Jiu, in this case, how could he get more benefits from his house?

He asked Uncle Kang Liu's opinion not really to hear what he said, but to delay the time so that he had more time to think about the matter, and conniving with Zhou's noise was to test Kang Yan's bottom limit, to see how much she was willing to pay for this matter, if Kang Yan agreed, it would naturally be a good thing that they could have Qinxiang Garden in this house, if he didn't agree, he would have time to come forward.

Now hearing the patriarch's slightly angry question, he knew that Xiao Jiu had to succeed, and Kang Yan obviously didn't want to give anything, so he pretended to reprimand the Zhou family: "....... What nonsense, Zhixun is his own family, it is a good thing that his incense is inherited by Xiao Jiu, what the family says can not be changed, Xiao Jiu is still a child of our family, he should be helped, he should be taught, he should be hurt and he must be hurt. ”

This is playing a warm card against Xiao Jiu.

The patriarch couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the people in the Kang family were all vying to pass on their son to Kang Zhixun, isn't it because Kang Zhixun and his wife both died, leaving only Kang Yan an only daughter, and there was no support from the foreign family, after passing his son to the past, there were no parents and no relatives to interfere, Kang Yan had to marry a little girl sooner or later, and the Kang family would not leave it to the heirs in the future, and as long as they were close to their sons, what was the difference between the succession.

It was still Kang Zhengwen's etiquette, and he didn't mention any harsh conditions, "In that case, Yan girl, if you don't have any opinions, let's hold a succession ceremony." ”

Kang Yan saluted and thanked the patriarch, "Thank you uncle and grandfather for the arrangement, before the succession ceremony, Yan'er had an uninvited feeling, and asked her uncle and grandfather to help." ”

"You say, if it's within my ability, my uncle will definitely help." For this pretty girl, the patriarch still has a little pity in his heart.

"Actually, what Aunt Six said just now also has a certain truth, Yan'er also thought about it before, no matter who succeeds as a younger brother, they are all children raised by others, and now they are given to my parents as sons, and they will not be able to be filial to his original parents in the future, which is indeed not fair to his biological parents, so Yan'er is willing to try her best to make up for them."

Speaking of this, Kang Yan paused, saw Zhou's eyes lit up, and then said again: "But Yan'er also has her own worries, you know, my father and mother only have one daughter, to say something not shy, I am going to get married early, and the family business left by my father and mother will be left to the heir, but my parents have passed away, and I have no foreign support, I am afraid that the heir will return to his biological parents in the future, and he will not be able to serve my father's incense, so this succession is not meaningless." ”

The patriarch understood the meaning of Kang Yan's words, and knew that this girl was worried that her heirs would get Kang Zhixun's property and then recognize her biological parents after she got married, and such a thing was not for nothing before, and his opinion of Kang Yan had changed in his heart, knowing that this girl was not a girl who didn't know anything in the inner house, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry too much about her.

"I understand what you mean, your worries are justified, this has happened before, tell me, what do you want to do?" The patriarch asked Kang Yeon.
