Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 91

Yijia was very puzzled. Isn't the picture of lotus that Liang Mingzhi gave to his father placed in the vat under the window of his father's study?If he wanted it, he could just ask someone to get it. The door of his father's study was always open to him, so why bother to ask himself?

She didn't expect that Liang Mingzhi was deliberately looking for an excuse to see her, but subconsciously wanted to hide, so she said to Qiushuang, "Go to father's study, there is a dirty jar not far from the window, it is for father to collect. Please help Liang Shishu find the lotus painting." After speaking, he added: "There is a word written by Liang Shishu in the middle of the left side of the drawing paper, don't take it by mistake."

Chen Ping couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that the old man's painting habit and Miss Zhou's family knew it too!

He was a little amused.

I always said my younger brother Chen An, but I didn't expect him to be the stupid one!
Before Qiushuang could speak, Chen Ping said with embarrassment: "Miss Zhou, you should look for it yourself. I want it in a hurry. If Miss Qiushuang doesn't know about the delay, I will be in trouble if I get angry."

Yijia glanced at Kang Qikun, feeling a little displeased, Liang Mingzhi was not the kind of person who would get angry at will.

This Chen Ping usually looks smart and capable, but why did he dismantle Liang Mingzhi in front of outsiders?
She deliberately smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Liang Shi has a very good temper, he won't do it." After finishing speaking, she urged Qiushuang, "Go quickly, there are not many paintings there, just open it and take a closer look."

Qiu Shuang should be, and walked quickly towards the study.

Chen Ping was full of resentment, but Xiao Song and the young master of the Kang family were both there, so he couldn't say much.It will be troublesome if people see the flaws.But before leaving, he still looked at Yijia with great resentment, who knew that Yijia was also looking at her, and her eyes... were very unfriendly.

Chen Ping was depressed, did Miss Zhou's family have any opinion on him this time?
After Chen Ping left, Kang Qikun asked Mrs. Song who the uncle Chen Ping was talking about was.

Xiao Song said with a smile: "He is the best friend of our master, the son of the Marquis of Anping."

Of course, Kang Qikun knew about the future father-in-law's best friend. This Liang Mingzhi hadn't shown up before, but this time he made a great contribution to the summer resort, and he is destined to become famous in the future.It is a blessing that Mr. Zhou has such a friend.He nodded, but didn't think much about it.

After entering the door, Xiao Song invited Kang Qikun to sit down in a gazebo in the middle of the courtyard, ordered his servants to serve tea and snacks, and then she avoided it first.

Seeing Yijia sit down, Kang Qikun said: "Sister Zhou, listen to me, and you must not have that kind of thinking. You are still young, and after two years of staying, you feel that everything is not so important. If If you choose the wrong path now, it will be ruined for a lifetime." He held back these words all the way, and now he finally had a chance to say it.No matter what, he couldn't watch Yijia go down such a road.

Yijia smiled lightly, some things don't become unimportant after a long time.But she didn't need to explain these things to Kang Qikun, because only she could understand herself best. Kang Qikun was not her. He had never experienced such a thing, and he would never understand her feelings.

"Okay, I see." She nodded with a smile.

"I'm telling you seriously!" Kang Qikun was a little anxious, he could tell that Yijia was trying to play him off.

Seeing that he was sincere, Yijia couldn't be more perfunctory.Put away the laugh, and said to Kang Qikun very seriously: "Master Kang, I know you are doing it for my own good, I understand what you mean, and thank you very much. But things are really not what you think, and what do I have? The intentions and ideas are also because I am the one who has experienced this. It is not that others say that it is not good, that it should not be like this, so I can stop doing it. It is the empathy that people often say. In fact, in my opinion, Even people who have been through the same experience may not necessarily feel the same way."

Kang Qikun was speechless by what she said, and when the persuasive words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Just like himself, others always say how happy and favored he is, but a concubine is brought up as a legitimate son, and is recorded in Mrs. Kang's name, so he can inherit the Kang family business in the future.How many people envy him, how many people envy him, but as for himself, he misses his biological mother, the woman he has no memory of for a long time.

Every time he saw how his second aunt and third aunt treated his cousins, he wondered what it was like to be loved by his biological mother.But he couldn't say it out, if he did, others would not sympathize with him and think he was right, they would only say that he was dissatisfied, that he was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

He knew that feeling himself, so how could he persuade Yijia now?
"It's getting late, I'll take you out." Yijia stood up and offered to see off the guests.

Kang Qikun was a little awkward and didn't have anything to say.

Yijia stopped after sending him to the courtyard.

"Master Kang, I hope you can help me hide the things that bothered you before. When my father comes back later, I will tell him that after much deliberation, I feel that I am still not qualified to be a wife of the clan. I will ask him to talk to him." Mr. Kang made it clear. You, if Mr. Kang asks, you can just say that I have made it clear to you today, can you?" She said pleadingly.

Kang Qikun was a little shaken.

He nodded hesitantly, and when he saw the bright smile on Yijia's face, he suddenly regretted it.

He said: "You... don't tell Mr. Zhou, and don't rush to reject me. We are still young, and we will have a long time to come. One day you will forget that person. At that time, we...we can still love each other , protect each other! Sister Zhou family, just take it as giving each other a chance, don't say it yet!"

He hurriedly finished speaking, his face was already flushed red, and he didn't dare to wait for Yijia's reply, so he turned and ran away.

Yijia was dumbfounded, and the words of refusal were stuck in her throat, which made her feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Miss, I can't find the lotus painting..." Qiushuang ran over at some point, her face full of grievances, "Uncle Liang is very angry, and just got angry at this servant, miss, you can go find the lotus picture." Would you like to have a look?"

Got angry?
Would Liang Mingzhi get angry over such a trivial matter?
Yijia glanced at Qiushuang and saw that her eyes were red, and she was obviously about to cry because of her grievances.Now she had to believe it even if she didn't believe it, and asked Qiushuang to go back and wash her face first, while she headed towards Zhou Chengyan's study.

After looking around, I didn't find the lotus picture.

Where did the lotus picture go, could it be taken away by my father?

She walked towards the guest courtyard, wanting to explain to Liang Mingzhi.But he was thinking in his heart, well done, why would Liang Mingzhi want to find a picture of a lotus flower?He could draw exactly the same lotus picture with his eyes closed, so if he wanted to, he could draw another one, why did he get angry with Qiushuang?

"Miss Zhou." As soon as he entered the guest house, Chen An walked over with a bitter face, "Master is in a bad mood, go and persuade him." He hurriedly led Yijia in while he was talking.

Yijia was also curious about what was going on with Liang Mingzhi, and strode in.

As soon as she stood firmly on her feet, there was a creaking sound of the door closing behind her. When she turned her head, Chen An smiled at her and closed the door decisively.

For some reason, Yijia suddenly became nervous.

In the dark, she encouraged herself, and she strode into the inner room.

Liang Mingzhi was painting on the desk in the inner room, and Yijia's sharp eyes saw the lotus painting on his left hand at a glance.

this man!

The lotus flower picture was brought by him tomorrow morning, but he still said that he could not find it, which scared Qiushuang so bold as to cry.

He's so blatantly deceiving people, since when did he have such a bad taste!

"Have you thought about what to say to your father?" Liang Mingzhi asked casually while painting.

"What?" Yijia didn't respond for a moment.

Liang Mingzhi put down his pen, turned around and gave her a gentle smile, and said, "Say you disagree with marrying Kang Qikun."

"You... how do you know that I don't agree?" Yijia murmured, embarrassed and at a loss, every time she talked to him about her marriage, she would suddenly become like this, always feeling as if she was being sorry Like his business.

And now knowing that he was reborn, she felt even more embarrassed.

Liang Mingzhi was amused by her appearance.

Walking over, he took her hand naturally, and led her to sit down on the soft couch under the window. He dragged the chair and sat opposite her, looked at her tenderly, and said, "Do you want me to help you?" Did you tell your father?"

Yijia was so frightened by his actions that he was at a loss, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Liang Mingzhi, he, what the hell is he doing?

Why didn't see him for a few days, he suddenly seemed to be a different person!

How could he just hold her hand like this and get so close to her? His eyes were wrong and his tone was wrong. How could he talk to her in this tone.Also, about her and Kang Qikun, she can just talk about it herself, what does it have to do with him!

Her eyes widened in fright, and she said incoherently, "You...how do you say it, no...no need, I...I'll just say it myself!"

Liang Mingzhi couldn't help laughing seeing her frightened like a deer.

Is the little girl frightened?
She doesn't know that she already knows her mind, does she?
Looking at the black eyes in Yijia's eyes, and the obvious sharp chin, thinking of Chen An's retelling of the sentence that he fell in love with someone who shouldn't be liked, and someone who can't be liked, he immediately felt distressed.

She looks like this, it must be because she has been tortured by this matter these days, right?

The little girl is really stupid.

You live your life by yourself, why do you care so much about others?

As long as her parents agree, as long as she agrees with him, there will be no other problems there.

This silly girl!
As long as she said, what couldn't he do for her?
I want to be bored in my heart, worried and sad.

He couldn't bear to scare her anymore, so he made a straight face on purpose, and said: "Since you call me Uncle Shi, I have a responsibility for your affairs. Now that you are in trouble with this matter, then I naturally have the responsibility to help you and you." Father said it. Or, have you actually decided to marry Kang Qikun?"

Yijia was confused by his attitude, but knew that she didn't promise Kang Qikun.So as soon as Liang Mingzhi finished speaking, she retorted: "No, I didn't promise to marry him!"

"That's it. Since you didn't agree, then you don't have to worry about it. I'll tell your father." Liang Mingzhi smiled, and stretched out his hand to scratch Yijia's nose.

Yijia's face turned red with a brush, and her cheeks and ears were so hot that they seemed to burn.She looked at Liang Mingzhi foolishly, as if she didn't know him, and forgot how to react.

Liang Mingzhi felt even better seeing her like this. He stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Yijia up.Then he couldn't help but reached out and hugged her.

She was thin and small, as if he could break her if he tried too hard.He thought about all the things in his previous life, his heart was sore and distressed, and he said softly in her ear: "Okay, you have been tired for a day today, go back to wash up and rest first. Don't worry about Kang Qikun's affairs, I'll come and talk to your father."

His voice was soft and soft, and the breath he exhaled warmly fell on Yijia's ears.

Yijia only felt that there was a bang in his head like fireworks exploding. There was only splendor, but no rationality.

She didn't know how long Liang Mingzhi hugged her, it seemed to be only a short moment, and it seemed to be a long, long time.She was dazed and dazed, like a doll, she didn't know when he pushed her out.

But it wasn't until she stood in the yard that she came back to her senses.

It just occurred to me that Liang Mingzhi not only held her hand, but also hugged her!

How could he hug her!

He, does he really like her as she guessed?He has never shown it before, what happened this time, but in just a few days, why did he behave like this?

What should I do myself?
How to reject him?
If I reject him, will he be angry and sad?
But, but I can't agree!

Yijia thought, feeling sad, distressed, and upset.

"Miss, why are you standing here?" Bai Lu came out from the guest room in the guest courtyard, saw Yi Jia standing in the distance with a dazed look, and asked in surprise.

Yijia looked at her, thinking about being hugged by Liang Mingzhi in the upper room just now, her face turned pale with fright.

Fortunately, I was not caught by anyone. If I was caught by someone, I would not be able to clean up even if I jumped into the Yellow River.If my father and aunt knew that Liang Mingzhi had treated him like this behind his back, they would definitely go crazy.

Maybe my father wouldn't care about Liang Mingzhi's injuries, so he just beat him out with a broom!

"I... I'm leaving now!" After she finished speaking, she didn't even dare to look at Bai Lu, and ran away in a hurry.

Bai Lu rubbed her head and muttered, "Miss, what's wrong, it's so strange."

Yijia ran to the gate of Bishuiju in one breath and stopped, rubbing her chest with one hand, panting violently.The bottom of my heart was flustered and confused, I didn't know what it was like, and I didn't know what to do.

Liang Mingzhi was in a good mood, and ordered Chen Ping to wait for Zhou Chengyan at the gate, while he sat down and thought about his and Yijia's affairs.

He and Zhou Chengyan had a good relationship, so he naturally knew how much Zhou Chengyan loved his two daughters, especially since he was thinking about his former partner, so he cared more about Yijia.If he brought it up directly, Zhou Chengyan would turn his back on him before he finished speaking.

It might not be easy for Zhou Chengyan to agree.

He wanted to tell Yijia to scare him by telling him what was in his heart, but firstly, Yijia was filial, and he would definitely not agree; secondly, maybe Zhou Chengyan even became a nun after hearing that Yijia was because of him, and found a random cling to Zhou Chengyan. The people in the family have all the thoughts of getting married, I'm afraid they will be even more angry with themselves.

This matter has to be discussed in the long run, and it would be bad if the gain outweighs the loss.

However, Kang Qikun's matter had to be resolved first.

He called Chen An, asked about the attitude of the Kang family today, and then sent him to inquire about the behavior of the Kang family after they returned home. Then he pondered what to say by himself.

After Kang Qikun left Changping Hutong, the heat on his face subsided.

When the wind blew, it actually made him feel a little lost.

Riding home, just got off the horse, Miss Kang San came up to meet her.Said: "Brother, are you free? I have something to tell you."

Kang Qikun dislikes Miss Kang San the most among the concubine younger sisters. It's not because she is the best at making money and can best please Mrs. Kang, but because she always bullies Mrs. Kang deliberately because she is liked by Mrs. Kang. The other concubine's younger sister.

In addition to the two concubine ladies who are already married, and the three young ladies who went to Nanyan Mountain together today, the Kang family also has three other young concubines.

The one Miss Kang San loves to bully the most is Miss Kang Six who is only ten years old.

Miss Kang Six, like Kang Qikun, is a child whose biological mother died prematurely.Therefore, Kang Qikun took extra care of her, not only taught her to read and write, but also wanted to take her with him when he went out occasionally.The older Miss Kang Liu was, the more beautiful she was.But at only ten years old, she is already a rare beauty embryo.Such an outstanding daughter, even Mr. Kang is partial to her.

Therefore, Miss Kang San didn't like her very much, and always wanted to bully her openly and secretly.

He nodded lightly and followed Miss Kang San to go forward.

Miss Kang San said: "Did brother go to Zhou's house?"

"Yes." Kang Qikun's answer was very concise.

Miss Kang San didn't care either, she smiled and blinked her eyes on purpose, "What do you think of Miss Zhou's family?"

Kang Qikun looked at her pretending to be playful, bored in his heart, and said coldly: "Of course I think it's good, if it's not good, why would grandpa take a fancy to her, and why would he want to help me find Zhou Zhou?" My lord is proposing marriage. If my sister has something to say, let me know, if it's all right, I'll go back and rest."

Miss Kang San's smile froze, and after a pause, she said dryly: "I... what can I do, I'm just..."

"Since you're fine, I'll go first." Kang Qikun interrupted her before she finished speaking, turned and walked in another direction.

Miss Kang San looked at his back and stomped her feet angrily, but thinking of what Mrs. Kang hinted at her, she had to do it.She is not engaged yet, even after she is engaged, Mrs. Kang will have to arrange the dowry needed for marriage, she cannot afford to offend this mother.

She held back her anger and chased after him.

"Brother." She called, "I do have something to tell you."

Kang Qikun stopped, turned and looked at her, "What's the matter, tell me!"

Ms. Kang San gritted her teeth, and without embellishment, she said directly: "Let's forget about the matter between you and Miss Zhou's family. Her mother is from the Song family in Hangzhou Prefecture. She is a businessman, and she is the most unworthy of the public. Today she is in Nanyan In the world, my mother and her can barely speak a word. If our family has such an in-law, it will not only not help you in the future, but will make our family laugh at people in Beijing. And Miss Zhou, she Although it's good, it's a bit too submissive. You will be the eldest son of the Kang family in the future. How can she be a good wife in this way? The second aunt and the third aunt are staring at each other. If you can't marry a capable daughter-in-law, mother My heart is not at ease."

Kang Qikun laughed angrily, "Is this what you mean, or what does your mother mean?"

He thought that as long as Yijia agreed, their affairs would be settled.

But he didn't expect that not only the mother, but also the third younger sister looked down on Zhou's family so much.What happened to a merchant, that is an imperial merchant, the first one in Hangzhou Mansion!Not to mention the aristocrats of the aristocratic families in Beijing, even the relatives of the emperor, who can leave the merchants?

Eating, drinking, and playing, which one can be separated from merchants?
What's more, since Mrs. Zhou is married to Mr. Zhou, she is from the Zhou family over there.Master Zhou is one of his grandfather's most proud apprentices. He is a literary and elegant Guozijian Jijiu.

Even Yijia, she is sincere, kind, gentle and friendly to her stepmother's younger sister. There are not many such good girls in the whole capital!
Miss Kang San hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said boldly: "It's the mother's idea, she asked me to mention it to you tactfully. Brother, I'm also doing it for your own good. If you insist on going your own way, mother will take action." If you don't, I'm afraid Miss Zhou's reputation will be ruined. If you really like her, how can you just watch her reputation ruined. "

In fact, like Mrs. Kang, she also looked down on Xiao Song, and she was only mediocre to Yijia.

But she is not stupid. She wants to curry favor with Mrs. Kang now, but Mrs. Kang will always grow old one day, and the Kang family will fall into the hands of the eldest brother sooner or later.She is married, and the real reliable person of her natal family is not her mother, but this elder brother.

She has been fawning on Mrs. Kang for so many years, and she really knows some of Mrs. Kang's private affairs. She thought in her heart that she has no children in this life. The incident of the young lady who discussed marriage with her father was a sin.

Kang Qikun looked at his younger sister, his eyes were dark.

Mother, the woman he called Mother, had never been his mother.

"I see." He waved his hand at Miss Kang San, turned around and left.

It's just that the whole person looks depressed.

Ms. Kang San looked at it, and her heart was full of sadness.

This is their fate as concubines!
