When another heavy snow came, it was already the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital was getting stronger and stronger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

King An's mansion was a little deserted.

Qi Chenjing threw away the long sword in his hand, "Don't practice, let's stop here." ”

Although the weather was cold, he was sweating, which showed that the time for practice was not short.

Meng Zihan withdrew his long sword expressionlessly, and also began to wipe his sweat.

Since Qi Chenjing met him, he had to practice his sword every morning, it turned out that although Qi Chenjing had also practiced martial arts, he practiced more fancy, but the actual kung fu against the enemy was insufficient.

Qi Chenjing made up for his shortcomings by fighting against Meng Zihan.

After a simple wash, after breakfast, I saw Lao Wang holding a list and bringing people in with a lot of things, "Where did you get the things?" ”

Lao Wang handed over the list in his hand, "Early this morning, someone from the Ningguo Mansion sent someone over, saying that it was a New Year's gift from the Macheng Mansion. ”

Kang Yan is not good at sending the gifts directly to King An's Mansion, all the gifts are sent to the Ningguo Mansion, and there is a separate list of things for Qi Chenjing, she knows that her grandmother will definitely send someone to send them.

It is safer for her grandmother to send her over than for her to send her directly to King An's mansion, after all, everyone in the capital knows that the eldest princess of Fuyun supports King An.

As soon as Lao Wang's words fell, he saw a rapid figure floating past him, and came to the subordinate holding the gift behind.

He looked dumbfounded at King An, who was originally sitting calmly and calmly, and quickly checked the gifts held by his subordinates, and paused when he opened one of the palm-sized mahogany carved boxes. Pick up a small, folded piece of paper from inside.

After opening the paper, Qi Chenjing took a quick look. Eyebrows raised, corners of mouth curled. It can be seen that he is in a very happy mood.

Lao Wang wondered, what was written on that paper that made the prince so happy?

After they entered Beijing, they rarely saw the prince smile.

He was wondering when he saw Qi Chenjing take out a pair of cotton socks from the box, as well as a dark blue purse with a dark beige pattern embroidered with gold thread.

Qi Chenjing's big hand gently stroked the lines on the purse, opened the corner of the purse, and sure enough, he saw a small Jing character embroidered with gold thread inside, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise even more.

He was already handsome. With this smile, she looked even more handsome than usual, and she saw the hearts of several little girls with gifts beating faster.

Yan'er did it herself, this thought flashed, and his eyes became brighter.

It was the first time she had prepared something for herself.

Lao Wang was stunned to see Qi Chenjing carefully hanging the purse on his waist, picked up the pair of socks that didn't show anything special and entered the inner room, "Lord Wang, haven't you seen this gift list yet?" ”

"You can just watch and clean up yourself." Qi Chenjing's happy voice sounded inside.

Lao Wang blinked, and the prince seemed to be really happy.

Just because a pair of socks and an embroiderer's looking purse looks average?

I remembered that these things were sent from Macheng Mansion. It was first delivered to the eldest princess of Fuyun, and Lao Wang's heart was clear.

Although the things are ordinary, the people who send them are not ordinary, but I am afraid that the person who put the prince of his family on the tip of his heart prepared it himself. Otherwise, the prince would not be so happy.

Lao Wang followed Qi Chenjing when he was in Macheng Mansion, and he knew a little about him and Kang Yan.

I really hope that this palace can also have one more hostess as soon as possible, and it may not be so deserted during the Chinese New Year next year.

Meng Zihan, who had packed up and walked in, saw the brand-new purse hanging from Qi Chenjing's waist at a glance. Raised an eyebrow, "She embroidered?" ”

Although he did not name names. But he knew that Qi Chenjing understood who he was talking about.

Qi Chenjing happily played with his purse, with a happy and show-off face. "Looks good, right?"

Meng Zihan was silent and did not express any opinion on Kang Yan's embroidery.

It's not that Kang Yan's embroidery is bad, in fact, the needlework is quite neat, but it can't be said that the embroidery is superb, it can only be said that it's okay.

Qi Chenjing pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied with Meng Zihan's disapproving expression, "You don't have a sweetheart yet, so naturally you can't experience this feeling." ”

Well, if Cheng Min is far away, that nerd can share some experience with him.

After he entered Beijing, in order to avoid suspicion, he has not been in contact with the Cheng family, but recently the queen mother and the emperor have stopped a lot, and his life has been a lot more stable, maybe he can take advantage of the New Year's Festival to chat with Cheng Minyuan.

Qi Chenjing secretly thought about the possibility in his heart.

Meng Zihan listened to Qi Chenjing's words, and a trace of invisible dazedness quickly flashed on his face. What does that feel like? The education he received since he was a child was to constantly practice martial arts and restore the former reputation of the Meng family as soon as possible, and the rest was not within his consideration.

However, seeing that Qi Chenjing was so happy, it was rare that he didn't open his mouth to sweep Qi Chenjing's interest.

Although he thinks Kang Yan's embroidery is average, he has a good impression of Kang Yan.

"It's almost the New Year, this time is so calm, I'm just afraid that there will be some action after the New Year." After a while, Meng Zihan spoke.

Speaking of the queen mother and the emperor in the palace, the smile on Qi Chenjing's face was put away.

During this time, they didn't make any moves, but Qi Chenjing knew in his heart that they were just waiting for the opportunity.

"Isn't there a spring hunt after the beginning of spring? I guess they should be able to do their hands and feet on the spring hunt, and you take someone to familiarize yourself with the spring hunting site in advance. Qi Chenjing pondered for a moment and proposed the most likely time for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to make a move.

Mencius bowed his head, Qi Chenjing's thoughts coincided with his.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the new year came in such a calm but hidden stormy atmosphere.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve Kang Yan is similar to usual, anyway, it is just her and Xiao Jiu, since the last time Kang Jia calculated her, they have basically cut off contact with the Kang family's ancestral home.

The only thing that is usually different is that because of her identity as the county lord of Lanxin, there are many more people who come to visit the New Year, and her entertainment is also a lot more.

In previous years, she and Xiao Jiu were all nested at home, reading, playing, and tending to flowers and plants, except for Jordan and two or three familiar families, no one came to visit the New Year, anyway, she was in the filial piety period, and there was no need to go out to greet others for the New Year.

But although she still can't go out to pay New Year's greetings this year, there are a lot more people who come to them to pay New Year's greetings, and the people who come to the door still bring a girl who is about the same age as her, Xiao Jiu, young master.

The guest came to the door in person, and she didn't want to not receive it, but fortunately, Xiao Jiu took this opportunity to exercise her ability to receive people and things and deal with things.

Now Xiao Jiu is almost thirteen years old, completely different from the sensitive, fragile and vulnerable little boy three years ago, he is now a personable teenager.

There were even people who hinted at Xiao Jiu's family affairs between words, Kang Yan smirked and pretended not to understand, and diverted the topic.

After the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, but it was already fifteen, Kang Yan began to let people prepare for Qingmei and Zhao Cheng's family affairs.

Zhao's mother is her nurse, Uncle Zhao has done his best to help her manage the outer courtyard of the Kang family over the years, Qingmei is still the maid she relies on the most, and she and Zhao Cheng's family affairs naturally have to be handled well.

Qingmei had no family, so Kang Yan asked her to marry from the house, personally prepared four cages for her, and gave her a dowry of 200 taels of silver.

At the end of February, she married Qingmei to Zhao Cheng in a beautiful manner, and after marriage, the little couple was very affectionate, and Kang Yan felt happy when she saw it.

At the beginning of March, she sent Zhao Cheng to the capital with Qingmei, and her grandmother wrote that she had shown her a house, and after she saw the layout of the house, she felt very satisfied, so she asked Zhao Cheng and his wife to go to the capital to live in the capital first, and take care of the house properly.

Shopkeeper Song wrote from her side saying that she had started spring ploughing, and she bought a total of 300 acres of fertile land for Qi Chenjing in Tongzhou, all of which were taken care of by Shopkeeper Song.

The letter from the shopkeeper Song was full of gratitude, Kang Yan found a safe imperial doctor for the eldest princess of Tofuyun a few years ago, and asked the Chen family to take him to Tongzhou, and after the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, his son Song Yukai's condition has improved a lot.

Kang Yan put her mind at ease and began to prepare for entering Beijing, she wanted to enter Beijing in August, but she might not be able to come back when she went this time, so things at home still need to be carefully arranged.

For Kang Yan, this is the place where she has lived with her parents for more than ten years, although the place is not big, but it is full of good memories of her life with her parents, she was very reluctant to sell it, so she discussed with Xiao Jiu that this place will be used as the old house of the Kang family in the future, and when Xiao Jiu marries a wife and has children in the future, they can also bring their children back to live.

It's just that who to leave to take care of the house, Kang Yan thought about it a lot, and finally Uncle Zhao and his wife said that they would stay and take care of the house first, and then go to Beijing when they were older in the future.

The two of them have a son of Zhao Cheng, and when they are old, they naturally want to follow Zhao Cheng and his wife, and Kang Yan can't think of other suitable candidates for a while, so he agrees to let them stay.

Uncle Zhao and Zhao's mother are both people she can trust, they stay, Qinxiangyuan and several shops let Uncle Zhao reconcile every month, and send them to the capital once every six months.

In this way, Kang Yan's mind is more than half, and the rest is the question of who to bring to Beijing.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Li came to see Kang Yan, and it turned out that he was asking his youngest son Mu Sheng to marry Kang Yan's side Xinghua.

Xinghua's family affairs, Kang Yan has never found a suitable one, Li Shopkeeper's son Mu Sheng She knows it, and he is a reliable one, she saw that Xinghua had no opinion, so she nodded.

Now that it has been decided, Kang Yan thought about simply letting Xinghua get married as soon as possible, so she set a date at the end of March, and before entering Beijing, Kang Yan married all the two most trustworthy big girls around her. (To be continued.) )
