Chapter 296: Banquet

Kang Yan met General Ma and his wife three days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She had just arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum, and she was tired from the journey, and it took two days of rest to relieve her fatigue.

They live here in a three-entry house, which is not very spacious, but fortunately, there are not many people with Kang Yan.

Ren Shinian lived in the outer courtyard with Liu Wenqing, Lao Jiang, Meng Zihan and others brought by Qi Chenjing.

In the inner courtyard, there is also Kang Yan, Mother Song and the ten maids she brought.

Although the house is not big, to be exact, it is naturally incomparable with the palace they used to live in the capital, that is, it is a little smaller than the house that the Kang family used to live in Macheng Mansion, but Kang Yan did not feel depressed, because there were only her and Qi Chenjing here.

Without the eyeliner to stare everywhere, they have relatively more freedom, although the future is still hard, but at least they can protect each other and work together for their future.

Kang Yan walked around the house, thinking about what flowers and plants to plant in the yard and decorate the yard.

She had just made a list, and although she had brought flower seeds, she had to wait until spring to plant them, and now that it was autumn, she had to go outside to buy some ready-made potted plants to transplant.

Well, you should also plant a pomegranate in the yard, which means good, Kang Yan thought to herself, and added the name of the pomegranate tree to the paper.

Putting down the pen, I saw Qi Chenjing walking in from outside.

"How did you come back? Isn't this time supposed to be patrolling the Imperial Tomb? Kang Yan held her stomach and greeted her.

Qi Chenjing is here to guard the imperial mausoleum, and there is nothing to do on weekdays. The daily routine is to go to the imperial tomb and bow to Emperor Taizu and the first emperor. Take a look around to see if the area around the Imperial Mausoleum is peaceful. Whether there are any repairs to be made in the construction of the Imperial Tomb.

In case of heavy rain or thunderstorms, the frequency of inspections should be increased to avoid damage to the main project of the imperial mausoleum due to the weather.

There was just an autumn rain yesterday, and it stands to reason that Qi Chenjing should be inspecting the imperial tomb at this time.

Qi Chenjing changed into the soft shoes she was wearing in the house, and when she saw Kang Yan coming in, she hurriedly took two steps forward and helped her walk in, "It's okay, I will divide labor with General Ma today." One person saw half of the place, so came back quickly. ”

Kang Yan blinked, "Is this General Ma reliable?" How many generals is he? ”

The generals in the military rank of Daliang are divided into several ranks, such as the general is the first rank, the hussar general, the general of Zhengnan, Pingbei and other generals are the second rank, and the other generals with military merit titles are generally the third grade, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard is the fourth grade. The supervising army, the generals, etc. are the five products.

Therefore, they are both called generals, but in fact, there is a big difference in rank.

Kang Yeon was a little worried. After all, Qi Chenjing has only been in the imperial tomb for more than a month, and this General Ma is a little too good to him, and he just came to visit him two days ago. Today, she took the initiative to help Qi Chenjing inspect, and Kang Yan was afraid that Qi Chenjing would accidentally land.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders. Qi Chenjing is a prince who has committed a crime and has been belittled, so it stands to reason that they should hide. Or lightly, it shouldn't be such a warm friendship.

Especially with them, there are also guards sent by the emperor, they are called to protect King An, but in fact, they are monitoring, and the behavior of their couple here must be regularly reported to the emperor in the capital.

Qi Chenjing shook his head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at? I'm worried about you. Kang Yan snorted, her mouth pouting involuntarily.

She must not have found out that she became very coquettish and squeamish after she became pregnant.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Qi Chenjing's eyes, and he didn't hide that he actually enjoyed this feeling.

However, he was afraid that Kang Yan would really annoy him, so he still opened his mouth to explain: "His name is General Ma, not a real general, his real position is the protector of the sixth grade." ”

Kang Yeon was stunned.

"Don't you think that if you call him General Ma, he is a general? How could the emperor send a real general to do such a clean errand as guarding the imperial mausoleum? Seeing Kang Yan's slightly open mouth and stunned look, Qi Chenjing smiled.

Isn't that so?

"Everyone can misunderstand, okay?" Kang Yan pinched Qi Chenjing with some shame, "Didn't you misunderstand when you first came here?" ”

No matter who it is, when you hear the words General Ma, you will probably think that he is a general, okay? I guess no one would have thought that he wasn't, but his name was just a general.

Kang Yan was a little unconvinced, she didn't believe that Qi Chenjing didn't misunderstand at the beginning.

This is really not, Qi Chenjing smiled secretly in his heart, looking at Kang Yan's cheeks crimson, with a slight anger, but there was a touching style.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, so he hugged Kang Yan and kissed him, "Yes, yes, I also misunderstood it at the beginning." ”

In fact, he only judged that the emperor did not send a general to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he became curious about General Ma in people's mouths.

was kissed by him, and Kang Yan couldn't help but laugh herself.

"This person's name is also quite interesting, what is not good, it is called a general, how easy it is to be misunderstood." The more Kang Yeon thought about it, the more funny she felt, and she couldn't help but giggle.

Qi Chenjing also smiled, "According to him, it was because when he was very young, his parents dreamed that he would become a mighty general, so they married him the name General." ”

There are such interesting parents, Kang Yan couldn't help laughing and fell into Qi Chenjing's arms.

"Don't worry, General Ma is a person who values love and righteousness, and he should be a good person." Qi Chenjing hugged Kang Yan and explained.

Kang Yan relaxed slightly, remembering the origin of General Ma's name, she couldn't help but laugh for a while, and asked Qi Chenjing with great interest, "How do you say our children will be named in the future?" ”

She was six months pregnant, and the baby was about to be born in three months, but they had not yet discussed the name of the child.

Qi Chenjing pondered for a moment, "If it's a boy, it should be from Hao's generation, why don't you call Haoxuan?" If it's a girl, there aren't so many rules, well, I think about it, the girl's name is Yinyin, do you say okay? ”

Qi Haoxuan, Qi Yinyin.

"Well, broad-minded, gentle and elegant, Haoxuan's name is good, Ling is bright in the world, Yin Qin respects love, the name Yin Yin is good, and the meaning is good, just these two." Kang Yan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile and stroking her stomach.

Qi Chenjing's expression became more and more gentle, and her big hand also stroked Kang Yan's belly, and the two quietly hugged each other, feeling the powerful fetal movement of the child in the palm of their hands together.

Time seems to stop at this moment, warm, quiet and beautiful.

After a long while, Qi Chenjing spoke: "I almost forgot something, the general said that he would hold a banquet at his house tomorrow to catch the wind and wash the dust for us." ”

Banquet? Kang Yan glanced at Qi Chenjing with some surprise, and then understood that Qi Chenjing had been here for more than a month, and it was estimated that it would take a lot of effort to obtain the approval of these people, and now General Ma is willing to hold a banquet for their husband and wife, which shows that Qi Chenjing has been recognized in his heart.

"Who are you invited? Is there anything I need to be aware of? After thinking about it, Kang Yan still confirmed with Qi Chenjing.

Qi Chenjing shook his head, "General Ma said that he didn't call anyone else, so he called the two lieutenants under him, no need, you just have to socialize as usual." ‘

Even if they were demoted here, but the emperor did not take away their titles, Kang Yan is still the princess of the super first grade, not to mention that she originally had the title of the county lord of Lanxin, even if she was the wife of the county order in Guangzong County, Kang Yan's grade also threw them off several streets, not to mention that General Ma was a six-grade protector.

Kang Yan understood what Qi Chenjing meant.

Tomorrow's banquet can neither be put on a shelf, nor can she be reserved at all.

The couple guarded the imperial mausoleum here, and they must rely on General Ma, because he has been in the imperial mausoleum for many years, and he is very familiar with the terrain and affairs, which is the so-called head snake, Qi Chenjing wants to befriend General Ma, and she naturally can't put the shelf too high in getting along with Mrs. Ma, and it will only make the Ma family think that they have no heart to make friends, but will make mistakes.

But if there is no shelf at all, it is suspected of flattering.

Kang Yeon just needs to grasp the proportions in this.

After making up their minds, the couple did not leave early for the banquet on the second day, and after getting up for breakfast, they took the time to go to Ma's house unhurriedly.

The Ma family is separated from their house by an alley, in the closest place to Tiantai Town.

It only took a quarter of an hour to walk over, so Qi Chenjing and Kang Yan walked over slowly.

When I arrived at Ma's house, the time was just right.

The Ma family is about the same size as the house they live in, but General Ma and his wife have lived here for many years, so the courtyard of the Ma family is naturally decorated with more flowers and plants than the house where Kang Yan and the others live.

Mrs. Ma is a lady about thirty years old, although her facial features are ordinary, she is tall and tall, and her eyes also reveal a rare heroic spirit.

Seeing Kang Yan, she stepped forward neatly and saluted, her eyes swept around Kang Yan's bulging belly, and said with a smile, "I've seen the princess, I know that you are heavy, and it stands to reason that we should visit you in the house, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The words are straight to the point, without too much hypocrisy and politeness, but without making people feel uncomfortable.

Kang Yeon has a good impression of Mrs. Ma.

She motioned for Qingmei to step forward and help Mrs. Ma up, "Mrs. Ma is too polite. ”

Mrs. Ma helped her inside, "I didn't invite anyone today, it's just the wives of two school captains who have a good relationship with my master, to talk to you together."

Kang Yan had already heard Qi Chenjing say who had been invited, but now that she saw that Mrs. Ma explained it again unhurriedly, her impression of her improved again.

"Well, I'm also a newcomer, and I don't know much about the customs of this place, let's talk together, and it just happens that I can learn more about the folk customs of Guangzong County." Kang Yeon continued her words.

Mrs. Ma naturally felt the kindness she released, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became more natural.

The two talked and laughed and entered the flower hall where the guests were entertained. (To be continued.) )
