Chapter 89

This night, Yijia tossed and turned again, closing her eyes for a while until dawn.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight, and it was already past the time for breakfast.

Bai Lu was still taking care of Liang Mingzhi in the guest room, Qiu Shuang and Xue Zhu, one came in to wait for her to wash, and the other hurriedly carried the food box to the kitchen.

She took a few bites, but the decision in her heart became clearer and clearer.

In this life, no matter what, she could never harm Liang Mingzhi again.

If getting involved with her would damage his reputation and career, then she would never get involved with him again.More than half a year has passed, and next year she will be 13 years old, and she can already marry. As long as she gets married, Liang Mingzhi really has thoughts about her, and sooner or later it will disappear.

She made up her mind, and felt much more at ease.

But before she hinted at Xiao Song, Xiao Song came to Bishuiju.

"Mother, I overslept today." Yijia explained with some embarrassment why she didn't go to greet her.

Xiao Song smiled, and said: "What's the matter? When you are still growing up, you should eat more and sleep more. Now you are still a girl's house, so you don't need to be too constrained. Come out of the pavilion in the future But Song Fan has no chance."

After a woman gets married, she has to serve her mother-in-law and her husband at the top, and take care of the family affairs at the bottom. If she has children, she also has to take on the responsibility of educating them.Where is the briskness of being a girl.Xiao Song already loved Jia, so naturally she didn't want her to work hard on herself. She is getting older and more sensible now, and Xiao Song is happy to be lazy once in a while.

After all, the mother-in-law is not so easy to talk to after she gets married.

Even if you do everything well, your mother-in-law can still pick out the reason.

"Mother, are you here for something?" Yijia asked.

Xiao Song thought for a while, and she really didn't know how to talk around corners, so she simply said clearly: "Do you still remember Kang Qikun, the young master of the Kang family?"

Yijia nodded, not understanding why Xiao Song suddenly mentioned Kang Qikun.

"It's like this. Your father had already pushed back this marriage before, but yesterday, Mrs. Kang took Young Master Kang and went to find your father again. Mrs. Kang said that Mrs. Kang's side, he has already I have said that, I will not marry Mrs. Kang's niece to Mrs. Kang's natal family. And Young Master Kang also promised your father that...after getting married, he will not take concubines or accept a house." Xiao Song Shi Dao, bit the bullet and added, "I see, then Master Kang is really interested in you, and this marriage is also very good, so your father and I want to ask you again. Opinion."

Kang Qikun.

Yijia thought of the boy who thoughtfully gave her and Yiwan honey water and chilled grapes when they were in Dongshan Temple.

Although it was only a short period of more than a month, she had no memory of what he looked like at all.I just remember that he is the grandson of Master Kang, he is tall, gentle, and easy to talk to.

Do you want to marry such a person?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Song said again: "You don't have to worry about your father, it just depends on whether you are willing or not. If not, I will go and talk to your father, and we will just refuse."

That's what he said, but Xiao Song still frowned indistinctly.

Mrs. Kang is the master's mentor, and she mentioned this matter twice. Although she doesn't know much, she also knows that if she refuses under such circumstances, others will not think it is the little girl who is unwilling, but will only think it is the master. For those who didn't like Young Master Kang, no matter what, the affection would be hurt a bit.

Besides, it is indeed rare that Young Master Kang is young, promising and dignified.If Yijia really refused, she would not be able to find anyone better than Young Master Kang in the future.

Why does Yijia not know these truths.

She wanted to disagree, but thinking about her father, she couldn't say it out loud.

And Liang Mingzhi.

Liang Mingzhi? !

If she married Kang Qikun, she would be a married woman, and everything would be solved easily?
However, she doesn't like Kang Qikun. Isn't this unfair to Kang Qikun?
"Mother, I want to see Young Master Kang." Yijia said.

Xiao Song was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect her to propose such a condition after being silent for so long.It's not difficult to see Kang Qikun again, but why do we have to meet again?

Xiao Song stared at Yijia, but saw that Yijia had lowered her head.

She will be wrong all of a sudden.

That's right, for a handsome young man like Master Kang, no girl would be tempted to see him.Jiaer didn't want to before, just because she didn't want to be a clan wife, but she didn't say she didn't like Young Master Kang.But now, it seems that after listening to Young Master Kang's oath to the master, and thinking that Young Master Kang has feelings for her, he naturally started to care.

I'm afraid that this meeting is because I want to verify with Young Master Kang.

Xiao Song happily agreed, and when she returned to Zhenyu Tower, she asked someone to deliver a message to Zhou Chengyan.

Zhou Chengyan thought about it, and went to Mrs. Kang himself.Mrs. Kang was not unhappy when he found out, on the contrary, he felt that Zhou Chengyan was a very enlightened father, and he himself happened to be thinking of going with Mrs. Song.

My own grandson, that's how you look at it.

"Okay, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day is getting colder, so you can go for a walk in the countryside." He said, "It happens that I have two granddaughters at home, and we will go out to play together at that time, you I remember that the children of my elder brother's family are also about the same age as them, so let's go out together, it will be more interesting if there are more people."

Although Elder Kang is busy with everything, how can he not be clear about the affairs of Gao Tu's family.It's not that Zhou Chengyan really likes him to mention this, but it's an official's most taboo to have a restless home. It's okay when no one talks about it. If someone talks about it, it's a good time to pull you off your horse.

Mr. Kang was dissatisfied with Zhou Chengyan's actions regarding the scandals that happened to Zhou's eldest family.There is nothing private in the courtyard of a house, but what is inside the door is one thing, and what is outside the door should be another.When such a scandal happened, even if there was really something in private, it should be trying to help cover up one or two when it came to the outside world, instead of acting out of emotion, it was my own husband who had a rift.

Although he knew that Zhou Chengyan was a straight-tempered person, and he was too upright, if he did this, he was probably doing something unclean.But in Mrs. Kang's opinion, Zhou Chengyan is the most promising person in the Zhou family. After closing the door, it's not a matter of talking about how he wants to deal with the big house. Why bother to block the door and show annoyance with his brother? look like.

It's too easy for people to grasp the handle.

Fortunately, he is pointing out articles for his nephew now, and with his proposal, he can suppress the rumors outside.After the big exam next year, he still wants to advance Zhou Chengyan one step further.

"It's all up to the teacher." Zhou Chengyan knew Kang Zhengfang's good intentions, so he agreed even if he didn't want to.

In Zhou's Guest House, Liang Mingzhi never saw Yijia from morning till night.

When the dinner was delivered, he couldn't help asking Bai Lu, "Has your lady left the house today?"

"No, miss is always at home." Bai Lu said.

Liang Mingzhi took the bowls and chopsticks, but was not in a hurry to eat, and continued to ask: "So are there any guests at home today?"

Bai Lu shook her head and said, "No."

That is how the matter.

Didn't go out, didn't have any visitors, why didn't she come to the guest house all day?

Chen An stood by the side, seeing Liang Mingzhi's silence, he spontaneously asked for his master, "Then what did your lady do today?"

Bai Lu said: "I didn't do anything. I slept for a while in the morning, and then my wife went to talk to the young lady for a while, and then I played with the third young lady for a while in the afternoon, and it was gone."

Because Chen An and Chen Ping came, Bai Lu and Yu Qiu had nothing to do. During the day, one of them went back to Bishuiju and the other to Pillow Tower, and they didn't come here until lunch and dinner.So when Chen An asked about Yijia, she knew all about it.

Chen An glanced at Liang Mingzhi, seeing that he had no intention of stopping, and continued to ask, "What did your wife and miss say?"

"How would I know that?" Bai Lu gave him a strange look.

Chen An rubbed his nose and stopped asking.

After Bai Lu and Yu Qiu went down, he asked Liang Mingzhi, "Master, do you want to find out what Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou said?"

Liang Mingzhi shook his head indifferently, "No need."

Although he cared about Yijia's every move, he was afraid that she would suffer a disadvantage.Now the people in the big house can't let her suffer, and Xiao Song has a soft temper and a kind heart, so he won't let her suffer.At this time, if he asked people to keep an eye on him all the time, it would not be very good.

What's more, he shouldn't have inquired about the private conversation between their mother and daughter.

Yijia didn't come over on the first day. Although Liang Mingzhi was curious, he didn't take it seriously.But on the second, third, and fourth day, she never came, and Liang Mingzhi felt something was wrong.

That day the little girl was so frightened that she cried like that, even if she couldn't pretend.

She was so worried about herself, why didn't she come to visit the guest house for several days?
So he ordered Chen An to investigate.

Chen An hummed and went out the door, thinking that I was going to check it before, so I should check it now, right?Why is this man so indecisive when he meets a woman?

But before Chen An could figure out what was going on, Liang Mingzhi heard about it from Zhou Chengyan.

It was agreed to go on an outing the next day, not only the children of the two families, but also Zhou Chengyan and his wife.As for the Kang family, they went to Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang. This was not only for the two children to see, but also for other purposes.One is to ask Xiao Song to meet Mrs. Kang to see how this mother-in-law is, whether she is difficult to get along with, and whether she is a master of others.Second, Mrs. Kang also has an abacus in her heart. She also has to see what the second young lady of the Zhou family is like. If she can't support the wall, she will find the next wife for the Kang family; she is too shrewd It's not good for a capable one, as a mother-in-law like her, I'm afraid it's hard to handle.

Because there are so many people going at one time, the two families have to clean up, so the appointment time is delayed.

Zhou Chengyan went to talk to Liang Mingzhi about this the first night, "Siming, I'm supposed to stay with you at home when I take a rest tomorrow. But tomorrow I'm going to go out for an outing with my mentor's family, so if you have If there is anything, just tell the housekeeper. We will be back around [-]:[-]."

Liang Mingzhi was very surprised.

Asked: "He Kang's family?"

"Yes." Zhou Chengyan nodded, but he didn't look happy, but he sighed deeply.

Liang Mingzhi pondered for a while, and already had bad thoughts in his mind.

What he thought was a certainty at first, but who knew it would turn around, not only Zhou Chengyan changed his attitude, even that little girl also changed her attitude.

What does she mean, she really likes Kang Qikun?

Seeing that Liang Mingzhi stopped asking, Zhou Chengyan thought that Liang Mingzhi had helped inquire about Mrs. Kang's plan to have her niece from her natal family as a daughter-in-law, so he felt that he hadn't considered Liang Mingzhi for not telling him about it in advance.Although knowing the relationship between the two does not need to be said, I still explain it.

"Both Zhuo Jingyuan and I have completely let go of this matter, but who knows that my mentor suddenly came to me a few days ago and said that he had already resolved it with Mrs. Kang. Not only will Mrs. Kang not ask Kang Qikun to marry her niece For the matter of the daughter-in-law, and he also very much agrees with the marriage between the Kang family and our family. Then Kang Qikun also went, but he showed me his attitude. He only said that when we get married in the future, not only will he not take concubines and marry children, but he will be a housemate. I won't accept it." Zhou Chengyan couldn't help sighing when he said this: "As a father, I naturally hope that my daughter can marry a good family and be loved and respected by her husband. This Kang Qikun is dignified, and he knows etiquette. The most important thing is I made such a statement in front of my face, although I am reluctant, but I also know that this is the best marriage."

"Ziming, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Zhou Chengyan couldn't help asking again because he cared too much about his daughter.

Liang Mingzhi really wanted to say something wrong against his will, but he also knew that this marriage was really good.

Kang Qikun's ability to express his heart in this way clearly showed that he valued Yijia in his heart.

But just met once, unexpectedly made such a promise.

"Yijia, what do you say?" He asked.

After asking, my heart also lifted up.

Like a hungry person walking in the desert, seeing a faint lake in front of him, looking forward to having water to quench his thirst, but also afraid that it was just his own fantasy, looking at Zhou Chengyan for a moment, he wanted to stop him from answering.

However, Zhou Chengyan smiled.

"I don't know yet, but I'm going on an outing tomorrow. It was Jia'er who asked to see Kang Qikun, and Mrs. Kang proposed to go on an outing. I'm afraid, she is probably willing in her heart, right?" He said, with a trace of light on his face. Hope to come.

Liang Mingzhi only felt that the illusion had finally been broken, and there was no water ahead.

For a moment, I just felt sad and unbearable, but I couldn't even look at Zhou Chengyan impatiently.

"I'm not feeling well, I want to rest first." He shouted to chase people away.

Zhou Chengyan immediately jumped up and said: "Oh, oh, good, you rest, you rest, if you need anything, just say it, Bai Lu and Yuqiu are in the yard, and there are two people guarding the gate of the yard. If you are really uncomfortable, You must tell them and tell them to invite Doctor Jiang."

"Okay." Liang Mingzhi frowned and closed his eyes.

After Zhou Chengyan left, Chen An and Chen Ping didn't hear anyone calling at the door, so Chen Ping walked in and wanted to ask Liang Mingzhi if he wanted to wash up.

Before he could speak, Liang Mingzhi opened his eyes and glared at him coldly, "Get out!"

Chen Ping was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, so he retreated in a hurry.

Seeing his bewildered look, Chen An wanted to poke his head out to find out the situation, but Chen Ping quickly grabbed him, and said in a low voice, "Master is angry, don't go and provoke him!"

"Uncle is angry?" Chen An asked.

"Yeah." Chen Ping told him about Liang Mingzhi telling him to get out just now.

Chen Anlue pondered for a while, and immediately left Chen Ping and ran out.

Chen Ping didn't hold back, and wanted to shout again but was afraid of disturbing Liang Mingzhi, so he could only curse his younger brother bitterly in his heart.

Chen An often came to the Zhou family, and he was very familiar with the servants of the Zhou family, and it was no secret that he would go on an outing tomorrow, he found out as soon as he went out.

He is like a human being, and he was the one who discovered Mrs. Kang's plans before, and he immediately knew what Liang Mingzhi was up to.It turned out that the young and talented young man fell in love with Miss Zhou's family, and Miss Zhou's family was actually willing.The matter between the uncle and Miss Zhou's family is extremely difficult to come to an end, if Miss Zhou's family is engaged to someone else, then there will be nothing wrong with the uncle at all.

Chen An thought about it, but he was also puzzled in his heart.

When he came from Hou's mansion that day, he could clearly see that Miss Zhou's hand was firmly held in the uncle's.And when Miss Zhou's family left later, she saw that her eyes were red, obviously she had cried once.Everyone in the Zhou family is well-behaved, and the reason for crying is because of their uncle.

There was obviously something wrong with the two of them, so why did Miss Zhou agree to marry Kang Qikun?
Chen An couldn't figure it out, and when he told Chen Ping, Chen Ping became even more confused.

And the uncle's face was as dark as Bao Qingtian's, but neither of them dared to ask any more questions.So Chen An decided, isn't he going on an outing, and he will follow. He can't do anything else, but it's okay to wait for the opportunity to sabotage.

It's impossible to say that Liang Mingzhi didn't have the idea to stop Yijia from going, but when the idea arose, he forced it down by himself.

If she really doesn't want to be with him anymore, what's the point of forcing her like this?
The word "love" means to pay attention to your love and my willingness.

If it is forced, where is the affection?

If you force it, will it end in a dismal end like in the previous life?

His heart was slowly cooling down, but he couldn't help but change his position and consider this matter from Yijia's position.In the previous life, she obviously had someone she admired, but she was deceived by her aunt and cousin, and she changed the person when she was about to get on the sedan chair.To her, maybe he is not only a sick ghost who is dying, but also a villain who robs women and forces her to be his wife.

She had no choice but to get married, and was deceived by Liang Mingxuan again. She was willing to hide everything and pretended to live a good life with herself.I can't blame her for killing herself in the end, maybe she is a heinous sinner in her heart.

But how about him, how innocent he is.

His wife died, even if it wasn't for himself, it should be continued for the sake of his young daughter.He knew his physical condition, and he also knew that he would not be able to inherit the throne, so he never went to look at the high-ranking families, he only hoped to find a woman who did not dislike him, but he couldn't raise a case with him For the rest of my life, as long as I can help take care of my daughter.

Knowing that there is a girl who is not only willing to marry him, but also deeply in love with him, how could he miss it?The niece of Mr. Zhou (this refers to Zhou Chengchi in the previous life), after all, she has only met him a few times, but not only does she not dislike him for being sick for a long time, but she is willing to marry him. At that time, he vowed to marry him forever Be nice to her.

However, it turned out that this was just a scam.

After all, he and she are just pawns in the hands of others.

It's just that I didn't know it, and I went on my own way self-righteously.

With such a misunderstanding, no matter how much he does, how can he warm her heart?
So in the end, he would rather die in her hands.

But when she really made a move, she actually felt resentment and resentment, which was really ridiculous.

He thought that this life would be different, but it turned out that she still couldn't wait to escape from him.

The next day, the sky was sunny and the autumn wind was blowing, adding a touch of coolness to the capital city that had faded from the heat.

Zhou Chengyan and his wife took their two daughters, and Zhou Qi, the eldest son, got into the carriage and headed south along the mountain.As soon as everyone's carriages disappeared in Changping Hutong, Chen An got on his horse and chased them out.

And the Kang family, Kang Qikun and Miss Kang San, one on the left and one on the right helped Mrs. Kang into the carriage.Miss Kang San accompanied Mrs. Kang in a carriage, Miss Kang Si and Miss Kang Wu rode in the second carriage, and Kang Qikun got off the horse to find Mr. Kang, and they took a carriage together.

Halfway through the journey, in the second carriage, Miss Kang San gently beat Mrs. Kang's leg, and asked in a soft voice: "Mother, what is Miss Zhou's temper? Why did my grandfather insist on marrying her for Brother Kun?" Well, is she amazing? My daughter has never heard of her reputation in Beijing."

Mrs. Kang was closing her eyes and resting her mind. After hearing this, she slowly opened her eyes, with a trace of disdain on the corners of her mouth.

"Since your grandfather is optimistic about her, it means that she has something special. A girl's reputation is important, but sometimes if she doesn't have that ability, it's better to keep a low profile. At least, others won't know about you. " she said, her tone was calm.

"Thank you mother for reminding me, my daughter has been educated." Ms. Kang San smiled sweetly.

Mrs. Kang glanced at her, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Miss Kang San suddenly said: "Sister Wan is still very powerful, she is really talented. Mother, a girl who is really talented, shouldn't be so low-key?"

He Wan, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Kang's natal brother, is famous for her paintings and calligraphy in the capital.He is even more slick, and Mrs. Kang likes it very much. The niece of her mother's family that she once wanted to marry Kang Qikun was He Wan.However, not only Mrs. He, but also He Wan herself did not want to marry Kang Qikun.So she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and wanted to marry Kang Qikun's younger brother's second daughter.Who knows, Mr. Kang insisted on looking at Miss Zhou's family. Although she agreed, she was not happy in the bottom of her heart.

However, when Miss Kang San mentioned He Wan now, Mrs. Kang felt very uncomfortable.

She said lightly: "Women are virtuous without talent. You don't want to learn from her, it's too ostentatious."

The smile on Miss Kang San's face froze, and she hurriedly said: "It's the mother, my daughter remembered it."

Mrs. Kang hummed, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
