Chapter 264: Plum Blossom Appreciation

"What did Master Su San say to make you so angry?" Kang Yan handed Qi Chenjing a cup of hot tea and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Chenjing sent her back to the Kang family's house in Bibo Hutong.

Kang Yan left him to drink tea, and by the way, he also wanted to ask what happened today, with his understanding of Qi Chenjing, he was rarely angry, and even if he was angry, his emotions were not as obvious as they appeared.

When he came out of the Su family today, his face was gloomy all the way, and he didn't hide his emotions at all.

Master Su San must have said something very excessive.

Qi Chenjing snorted heavily and put the teacup on the table, "You know what he said, he actually said that I should marry Yuman as a side concubine." ”

What the? Marry Su Yuman as a side concubine? Kang Yeon was stunned.

Rao is she had already thought that Master Su San must have made a very excessive request, but she never thought that he would make such a strange request.

Let Qi Chenjing marry Su Yuman, I really don't know how his brain grows, how he came up with this idea.

Master Su San once again refreshed Kang Yan's perception of him.

Qi Chenjing grew up in the Su family, and Su Yuman is a brother and sister in name, although now Qi Chenjing recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, and is no longer the son of the Su family, but he grew up with Su Yuman after all, not to mention what Qi Chenjing thinks of her in his heart, if Qi Chenjing really marries Su Yuman as a side concubine, others will not think that he is repaying the Su family's nurturing grace.

Others will only go to see if Qi Chenjing secretly had something to do when the Su family and Su Yuman were brothers and sisters, otherwise, Qi Chenjing would have crowned King An. So many women don't marry, so they have to marry Su Yuman as a side concubine.

Once it was rumored that Qi Chenjing and Su Yuman were brothers and sisters, they had incest. Qi Chenjing's reputation will plummet, and then the emperor will have an excuse to reprimand him.

Even without reprimanding him. The courtiers will also look at Qi Chenjing with colored eyes.

It's no wonder that Qi Chenjing was so angry.

Kang Yan frowned, "No, Master Su San would never have come up with such an idea himself." ”

Qi Chenjing turned his head to look at her and heard the meaning of her words, "You mean that someone behind this matter instructed Master Su San or said that he was bewitching him." ”

He was angry with the third master of Su, so he refused to call him the third uncle again.

Kang Yan nodded, "Do you think, if Master Su San has this thought, what will he do until now." He could mention it as early as when he was in Macheng Mansion, or he could mention it as soon as he entered Beijing, so why wait until today to mention it. ”

After Master Su San entered Beijing, he has been intoxicated with the wind and moon, lingering in the willow alleys of the flower street every day, and he doesn't ask about the affairs of the family, how can he suddenly worry about the marriage of his children?

Qi Chenjing thought about it, and his face became solemn, "I was only angry before. I didn't think of this, if someone really bewitched the third uncle behind his back, the target would definitely be me, and he would destroy my reputation. It is not known whether there is any other purpose behind it. ”

The more Qi Chenjing thought about it, the more reasonable it became, so he got up and stood up, "I'm going to check that Master Su San has been in contact with those people recently."

Let's talk about it. turned around and walked out, and when he got to the door, he turned around and told Kang Yeon. "If someone else really intervenes in this matter, I'm afraid it's not just me. You have to be careful lately, and if you go out, bring more people. ”

"I have Ren by my side to lead them, don't worry." Kang Yeon got up to see him off, "Be careful yourself." ”

Qi Chenjing turned around and hurried away.

Kang Yan thought about it, the sound of falling things in the house she heard before should have been caused by Mrs. Su, and with Mrs. Su here, Master Su's plan would not succeed.

The only thing I'm worried about now is whether there is anyone behind Master Su San? Kang Yan felt that there was someone nine times out of ten, otherwise Master Su San would definitely not be able to think of such a thing.

However, Su Yuman is fifteen years old this year, and she has not yet decided to marry, previously in Macheng Mansion, Su Yuman and her mother-in-law Yang have a high vision, and they can't look down on the people in Macheng Mansion, so Su Yuman has not decided to marry for a long time, and when Qi Chenjing is crowned King An, they think that with Qi Chenjing, Su Yuman has to marry into a high-ranking family, so they want to enter Beijing to find a good family for her.

Who knew that when he entered Beijing, he found that the truth was a little different from what he imagined, Qi Chenjing's status in the capital was delicate, although the Su family had regained the title, but there were not many people who came and went.

Besides, it is the second master of the Su family who inherits the title of Marquis of Pingbei, and it is not the third room of the Su family, the third master of Su is still a white ding, and his eldest daughter is naturally not interested.

In this case, if someone instigates and proposes that Master Su San can marry his daughter to Qi Chenjing as a side concubine, Master Su San will definitely be moved.

Anyway, the daughter can't marry a big family, it's better to marry Qi Chenjing, the Su family has the grace of nurturing Qi Chenjing, Qi Chenjing will definitely not treat Su Yuman badly, secondly, the daughter has become the prince's side concubine, and the identity of Su San's master will be invisibly improved a lot.

Master Su San is used to being mixed, and he grew up beside his aunt since he was a child, and he doesn't care much about this kind of concept of concubine, respect and inferiority, and ethics, and he doesn't understand it very well, as long as someone analyzes the benefits for him, he will definitely bring up this matter.

Qi Chenjing is right, you should be careful, don't be careless in other people's traps.

Kang Yan made up her mind, and did not go out in the following days, only prepared Kang Shaofan's dowry at home, she asked the aunt of the Chen family to formally propose to the Su family, and went to combine Kang Shaofan and Su Yuhuan's eight characters, and the result was lucky.

After that, Kang Yan prepared the dowry at home with peace of mind, and set the dowry on the twentieth day of the lunar month.

According to the rules in the capital nowadays, the dowry is generally about 100 lifts, and the dowry is about the same.

Kang Yan's own dowry was to prepare a hundred lifts, but the eldest princess Fuyun sent all the dowries she had prepared for the county lord of Xiangning in the early years, so she made up one hundred and eighty lifts.

Kang Shaofan's dowry, Kang Yan was prepared according to one hundred lifts, mainly because of the Su family's side, it is said that although the second room of the Su family is now Pingbeihou, but what the Su family has in the past two years, others don't know, but Kang Yan knows it, and Su Yuhuan is not born to the second wife of Su Wei. If the Kang family gives too many dowry gifts, it will only make Wei's embarrassment.

When preparing for the dowry. Kang Yancai felt that the Kang family's family background was too thin, so she removed her dowry and Kang Shaofan's dowry. There is basically nothing left at home.

It seems that she still has to open her Tianxiangyuan as soon as possible, Kang Yan calculated in her heart, in fact, Tianxiangyuan has already been decorated, and it was planned to open in early November, but it was postponed because she and Qi Chenjing were married.

chose the tenth day of the lunar month, Kang Yan sent an invitation, ready to open Tianxiangyuan.

On the opening day, Kang Yan held a plum appreciation party in Tianxiangyuan. The people she invited in the post basically arrived, and of course there were uninvited guests.

For example, the people of the Dong family of the Hou of Zhenning, Kang Yan frowned slightly, staring at the young man wearing the autumn fragrance color on the other side, she had the impression that this person seemed to be called Dong Xu, the third son of the Dong family of the Hou of Zhenning.

"Congratulations to the county lord on the opening of the Xiangyuan on this day, Xu came uninvited and begged for a glass of wine to eat. I hope the princess won't be surprised. "Dong Xu puts on the style of a son of a family, the etiquette rules are just right, and he looks like a peerless son."

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face person, today is the opening of her Tianxiangyuan. Kang Yan couldn't twist the people of the Dong family out directly, so she smiled slightly and took it as a courtesy. "Thank you Dong Sangongzi, please inside."

Today is a rare good weather. The sun was shining, contrary to the cold of the previous days. The warm sunlight happened to shine on Kang Yeon's face, reflecting the pear vortex on her lips, making her whole person show a hazy beauty.

Dong Xu looked at Kang Yan's gaze and unconsciously became obsessed.

Kang Yan frowned, stretched out another gesture, and made a gesture of please, "Third Prince Dong, please." ”

After that, she motioned to the little guy standing behind her to take Dong Xu to find Kang Shaofan.

These two little guys have been trained by Ren Shinian himself, and he is worried that there will be a special situation today, so Ren Shinian let them follow Kang Yan.

Kang Yan didn't want the maid next to him to send Dong Xu.

Dong Xu came back to his senses, his face was a little unnatural, and then he regained his composure, bowed his head, and walked to the plum garden.

"Who is this man?"

Kang Yan turned her head and saw Qiao Danhua standing behind her, and hurriedly greeted her, "I also said that you can't come, who is watching Brother Hao?" ”

Qiao Danhua gave birth to Cheng Minyuan's eldest son in mid-October, named Brother Hao, and it has been almost two months now, Kang Yan mentioned it when she first sent the invitation, so that Jordan Hua should put the child first and don't be reckless.

Qiao Danhua glanced at her when she heard this, after she gave birth, her body was fuller than before, and the whole person was filled with a maternal brilliance, "Your Tianxiangyuan is open, I will definitely come over to cheer you on, and besides, the weather is so good today, and it's not cold, I'll take Siya over to play." ”

As he spoke, he pulled his sister-in-law Cheng Siya behind him.

Cheng Siya is Cheng Minyuan's younger sister, Mrs. Cheng gave birth to two brothers and sisters in her life, and she is fifteen years old this year.

Kang Yan understood what Qiao Danhua meant, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, it seems that the purpose of Qiao Danhua's visit today is to help her sister-in-law choose a future in-law.

There are two kinds of invitations from the Kang family, the posts of the female relatives are in the name of Kang Yan and are entertained by Kang Yan, and the posts on the man's side are in the name of Kang Shaofan, and he is responsible for entertaining.

Men and women are separated by a plum forest, not only can enjoy the flowers, but also can see each other's figures, but they can't see it really, which not only takes into account the defense of men and women, but also does not prevent them from secretly watching each other.

That's why Jordan Hua brought Cheng Siya.

Kang Yan had met Cheng Siya once when she went to Cheng's house before, and she saw that Cheng Siya today was wearing a short jacket embroidered with pink embroidered peach blossoms, a bean blue high-waisted pleated skirt, and a bright red rabbit hair cotton cloak, standing there crisply, the whole person was slim and picturesque.

smiled and stepped forward to take Cheng Siya's hand, "The plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming very well, Sister Siya came today and let go of playing, don't be uncomfortable." ”

Cheng Siya knew that Kang Yan, the county lord of Lanxin, and her sister-in-law Qiao Danhua in front of her were friends who talked about everything, so she pursed her lips and nodded shyly, "Congratulations on the opening of the county lord's garden, will this garden also be open to the public in the future?" ”

Kang Yan and the two of them walked inside while explaining the future operation mode of Tianxiangyuan, "........ It is a place to play, the scenery of the four seasons is different, and you can come in and enjoy the play after paying the money at the door, and there is no time limit. You can also book a venue to hold a banquet here, and you can enjoy the flowers......."

Cheng Siya listened to what Jordan Danhua and Kang Yan said. I discussed the business model of Tianxiangyuan in one sentence, and Qiao Danhua put forward some different opinions from time to time.

She didn't understand business matters. Since she was a child, she has been exposed to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and female red, and she knows nothing about business.

Gradually, she became a little distracted.

A tall figure suddenly turned around the corner of the courtyard ahead.

Cheng Siya was stunned as soon as she raised her head, the man opposite was long, with a handsome face, wearing a white jade crown, a silver-gray arrow-sleeved robe with dark silver lines, and a white jade belt around his waist. Dressed in a pure black fox fur cloak, he walked towards them in a hurry.

When he saw Kang Yeon, his deep eyes stopped on her, and there was tenderness in his eyes that could not be dissolved.

Kang Yan also saw Qi Chenjing at this time.

She took two quick steps forward and greeted her, "Aren't you with the ninth brother?" How did you get here? ”

It was the first time for Kang Shaofan to entertain the people in the noble circle of the capital as the host, and he was worried that there would be something wrong, so Kang Yan asked Qi Chenjing and Chen Yikang to help take care of one or two.

Qi Chenjing glanced behind Kang Yan. "I heard that someone from the Hou Dong family in Zhenning also came, so I came over to take a look."

Kang Yan understood, she was worried that Dong Xu would embarrass her, so she rushed over to take a look. Her heart was sweet, and she couldn't help but smile, "It's okay." I've had him take to the yard over there. ”

Qi Chenjing stared at the smile on her lips, and her eyes deepened by two points. "Well, it's fine."

Between words. Qiao Danhua walked over with Cheng Siya.

Qiao Danhua greeted Qi Chenjing familiarly, and said to Cheng Siya: "This is Prince An." ”

This is Prince An who has set off countless storms in the capital? Cheng Siya's heart trembled inexplicably, she had been to Macheng Mansion once, but she had never seen Qi Chenjing.

When she returned to the capital, although she was raised in a deep boudoir, she also heard a lot of deeds of Prince An, but she didn't expect that Prince An, who was secretly discussed by her maid on weekdays, was such a person.

Cheng Siya's face was hot, she didn't dare to look up at Qi Chenjing, she lowered her head and saluted: "I've seen Lord An." ”

Qi Chenjing bowed lightly.

Turning to Kang Yan, he said, "Since you're fine, then I'll leave first, and the banquet over there is about to start." ”

Kang Yeon smiled and urged him to go.

Qi Chenjing glanced at Kang Yan deeply, turned his head and strode away, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the courtyard around the corner that appeared just now.

Kang Yan didn't care, and continued to call Qiao Danhua and Cheng Siya to walk forward.

Cheng Siya blinked, looked at the tall figure that disappeared in an instant, felt a sense of loss for no reason, took a deep breath, and then raised her feet to follow Qiao Danhua and Kang Yan.

Stepping into the plum garden, you will see a large piece of plum blossoms blooming proudly, the joke like the golden bell is dotted with brilliance between the flower branches, the form is different, the white is like snow, the red is like fire, the pink is like the glow, the ice heart and jade bones, the fragrance is light and elegant.

Different from the men's drinking, chanting, and plum appreciation, the ladies were attracted by this merlin, and they went to the merlin in twos and threes, and some also brought vases, and when they saw the beautiful ones, they folded them down and prepared to take them back to insert the bottles.

Kang Yeon also went to the center of Merlin, and the people she ordered were here to keep watch, reminding them at the right time, lest anyone rush into the female dependents.

On the other side, Qiao Danhua and Cheng Siya were chatting with a few rare acquaintances, Cheng Siya suddenly got up, attached to Qiao Danhua's ear and whispered a few words, Qiao Danhua thought about it, got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Cheng Siya waved her hand, "No, sister-in-law, I'll come when I go, you can be here yourself, I'll let Yuchun accompany me." ”

Yuchun is her personal big girl.

Jordan Hua thought about it and agreed, "Then you go and come back quickly, don't walk around." ”

Cheng Siya nodded, turned her head and left, but when she walked to a no-man's corner, her figure quickly flashed and entered Merlin.

"Girl, aren't you going to make it convenient?" Yuchun behind him watched Cheng Siya suddenly turn to Merlin, and was a little confused.

Cheng Siya's face flushed slightly, and she said a little uncomfortably: "Maybe it's too cold, I don't feel it anymore, let's go shopping in the plum forest first." ”

Yuchun didn't doubt that she had her, and followed Cheng Siya to the depths of Merlin.

This piece of plum forest is huge, strolling in it, the quiet and elegant plum fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, which makes people feel very comfortable, but Cheng Siya does not put too much thought on the plum blossoms.

She didn't know what she was obsessed with, when her sister-in-law was chatting with the person next to her just now. But her heart kept flashing the figure of Prince An that she had just seen, with a long figure. Handsome countenance.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't do it, Cheng Siya simply wanted to try her luck in Meilin. Maybe she'll see him again, not to.

After a big turn in Merlin, Cheng Siya bit her lip, and disappointment flashed in her eyes.

They walked for so long, and they didn't meet Qi Chenjing at all.

Yes, he and the Lord of Lanxin are married, and today he is going to help take care of the guests, how can he have time to come to this plum grove to wander?

As soon as she remembered that Kang Yan had made a marriage with that handsome and noble man, Cheng Siya's heart felt an inexplicable feeling, and she seemed to be a little unhappy. But it's not clear.

This is something she has never encountered in her fifteen years of life.

That's it, it seems that I won't meet him today, Cheng Siya sighed as if she didn't have it, and a touch of sorrow rose between her eyebrows, forget it, go back, it's been a long time, and the sister-in-law should be suspicious.

Cheng Siya just turned around and was about to walk out. But when he heard an old plum tree in front of him, he remembered a slightly cold voice, "Are you sure this is what your girl prepared for me?" ”

This sound? Cheng Siya's heart moved inexplicably, and she made a silent gesture towards the maid Yuchun behind her, and she lifted the corner of her skirt lightly. Approach the old plum tree in front of you.

Behind the old plum tree, tall and straight. The back with his hands behind him was Qi Chenjing.

Cheng Siya's not only involuntarily fell on the long back.

Qi Chenjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked down at the slightly trembling maid in front of him coldly. The thin lips opened lightly, "Qiu Ju." Let me ask you again, is this really the sobering soup that your girl prepared for me? ”

Qiu Ju trembled, and the soup in her hand spilled out, falling from her hand to the ground, and soon seeping into the ground without a trace.

She didn't care about this, her face turned pale, and she still opened her mouth to explain: "Lord Wang, it was prepared for you by the slave maid, and the slave maid was worried that you drank wine and it would not be good for your body, so she took it upon herself to boil this sobering soup, and please take pity on the slave and maid for your sake." ”

Qi Chenjing's eyes were cold, and his eyes were fixed on the sobering soup in Qiu Ju's hand.

"Huh, pity?" Qi Chenjing sneered, "Why do you think I will pity you?" ”

His eyes were cold, and his voice was not a little warm, as if he was not the same person at all as Qi Chenjing, who was always gentle and gentle and thoughtful in the Kang family.

Qiu Ju secretly regretted that her actions today were too reckless, but these days, Kang Yan treated her very coldly, and basically didn't let her serve in front of her, and today was because she was really busy, so she volunteered to come to Tianxiangyuan to help, but she was only to help, and she was not allowed to serve in front of Kang Yan.

She didn't think about going to Kang Yan to serve, the girl had already sensed her thoughts, today might be her only chance, if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would probably have to deal with her when she went back.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ju pressed down the inexplicable fear floating in her heart, and a trace of seductive charm flashed in her eyes, she originally wanted to let Qi Chenjing drink the bowl of decanting soup in her hand in the name of Kang Yan, but who knew that Qi Chenjing didn't believe that Kang Yan asked her to come at all.

Now, she can only rely on her appearance to tempt Qi Chenjing.

"Lord, our girl is your future princess, and those of us who are slaves and maids are also the prince's people, Qiu Ju's wish is humble, I just hope that I can serve the princess when the princess is inconvenient in the future, and I also ask the prince for permission." She delicately approached Qi Chenjing.

She had practiced this movement in front of the mirror countless times, and was sure that she was charming enough.

Qi Chenjing's figure retreated, she threw herself into the air, flashed to her waist at once, and the sobering soup in her hand fell to the ground, but because she didn't stop her step in time, she also planted forward, poofed, fell to the ground, and ate a dog gnawing mud.

A hint of ridicule rose at the corner of Qi Chenjing's mouth, making his face look even more handsome.

"Thinking that you are the maid by Yan'er's side, I have repeatedly tolerated you before, but I don't want you to have such a dirty mind, and you dare to pretend to be in the name of Yan'er, you are really wasting Yan'er's heart for you, what is the use of such a slave who betrays the master?"

Qi Chenjing snorted coldly, glanced at Qiu Ju who was humming in a low voice on the ground, and was about to leave, looking at this slave who betrayed Kang Yan more, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but step forward and give her two feet.

But beating women is not his style.

He just took a step, but his eyes looked sharply at the plum tree next to him, "Who is there, come out!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Finally rushed out at twelve o'clock, good night, dear!
