Chapter 99

When Zhou Chengyan and Liang Mingzhi arrived home, it was already late in the afternoon, and the cook had been keeping the food warm, and the two separated after taking a hasty bite.

Back in Zhenyulou, Yijia and Xiao Song sat in front of the hall and waited.

Zhou Chengyan sighed softly when he saw his daughter and thought of Kang Qikun again.

"It's getting late, Jia'er should go to bed first." He said.

Yijia saw that although he was a little depressed, he didn't look like he had something to do, so he didn't ask any more questions, and left after saluting.

Xiao Song waited on Zhou Chengyan to wash and asked about the situation.

Zhou Chengyan simply told about what happened in Kang's house, and told Mr. Kang's attitude.

Xiao Song felt relieved, but was very upset because of Mrs. Kang's actions.

"She can't do anything right now, I just can't figure out why we Jia'er are not as good as she wants, and we want to make these moths." There was strong dissatisfaction in her voice.

Listening to his wife's complaints, Zhou Chengyan smiled slightly, and said, "That's good, we know in advance, it's better than marrying Jiaer to know her true nature."

Xiao Song nodded when she heard the words, but sighed about He Lian's matter again, "Second Miss He is really confused, isn't Master He a great official? , how can you think of having the idea of ​​being a concubine with someone. Alas, I'm afraid that after the news spreads, it will be difficult for Second Miss He to find a marriage."

Zhou Chengyan laughed, knowing that his wife was not good at socializing, but he didn't tell her about Mr. He.But thinking back to the scene where He Lian begged on her knees, she felt that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Let's see what kind of family we're looking for. Elder Master He is here. As long as you don't think about such an unattainable family, Second Miss He will not worry about it. It's us Jia'er who have to take a good look at each other." he said.

Xiao Song said: "Master has to inquire more outside. Half of this year has passed, and next year will be thirteen, but it has to be decided as soon as possible."

Zhou Chengyan wiped his face clean, and handed the handkerchief to Mrs. Song.He went to the inner room to take a bath again, changed into the clothes he was wearing at home and came out.

"Go to sleep, you are tired from busy work these days, go to bed early." He said, holding Xiao Song's hand.

Xiao Song smiled slightly, the husband and wife went to bed and turned off the lights.

What happened to the Kang family was disgraceful after all, and Mrs. Kang's secret tactics were also aimed at Yijia. Xiao Song was still worried that the little girl Yijia would be sad, so she didn't elaborate, and revealed the matter in a few words. past.

It wasn't until he woke up from a nap that Liang Mingzhi called someone to invite Yijia.

Yijia was afraid that if he didn't go, Liang Mingzhi would find him again.It's okay to say once or twice, but if there are too many times, it's hard to guarantee that no one will find something.

She then ordered Qiushuang to go to the study to hug Luqi, and she and Xuezhu went directly to the guest courtyard, where the three of them just met at the entrance of the guest courtyard.

Chen An and Chen Ping stood guard at the door, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him more attentively than the other.

"Miss Zhou, go in first. The uncle said that he wants to teach you how to practice the piano. Don't let us disturb you, so we won't see you off." Chen An said with a smile on his face.

Yijia felt that he was smiling strangely, but she didn't dare to think about it, and took Qin from Qiushuang's hand and hugged her inside.

There was no one in the main hall, so she lifted the curtain in the inner room.

Liang Mingzhi wore a straight gown with Baoxiang blue embroidered dark pattern bamboo, with a round head and white jade hairpin, and was standing by the window, painting.

Yijia blushed when she heard the door creaking shut behind her, thinking that she and Liang Mingzhi were like young men and women hiding in the boudoir and having an affair.

She held the piano and stood at the door without moving.

Liang Mingzhi drew a few more strokes before stopping, laughed muffled, and asked, "Am I that pretty?"

He stopped writing and looked up.

He is tall and tall, with a handsome and heroic silhouette.

It is indeed very beautiful.

Yijia looked away shyly.

Thinking of yesterday's parting, when he suddenly bent down and bit her lip, he blushed immediately.

Liang Mingzhi laughed.

"You don't feel tired." He strode over to pick up the piano in Yijia's hand, and with one free hand, he naturally pulled her over to the window.

There are only a few simple strokes on the plain white drawing paper. It is not the lotus painting that he is best at and loves to draw, but it is the figure of a woman lying on her side.

He pointed it to Yijia and said, "This is what you looked like when you fell asleep while reading in the house that day."

"Why did you draw this!" Yi Jia didn't care about being shy, and quickly lifted up the drawing paper. He wanted to roll it, but then he stopped writing just now, and the roll would definitely be dyed, so he stopped there for a while.

Liang Mingzhi said: "It's okay, I'm not satisfied with this painting, you can destroy it, and I'll make another good one later."

Yijia glared at him, "Turn back and tell my father to see it!"

Liang Mingzhi picked up a chair and pushed Yijia up, while he sat on the side and said nonchalantly, "What's the matter? I don't know how many portraits I have drawn for you since you were a child. Your father knows It’s okay, he still competes with me on who can draw better.”

Yijia couldn't help but caressed her forehead, the young master always drew pictures of beauties.

Her father actually competed with others to draw his daughter.

Really... I really don't know how to say it.

He said he was teaching her to play the piano, but he played the piano for her to listen to, and he also talked to her in the sound of the piano.

Yi Jia listened to the sonorous sound of killing the enemy on the battlefield, but gradually lost her mind.

Is she in love with him?

When you don't know it at all.

Although she felt ashamed and annoyed by what happened yesterday, she was not unhappy or wanted to resist.She knew that she owed him, so she didn't dare and shouldn't resist, but at that time, she didn't even have the thought of resisting in her heart, which was a bit wrong.

Just like today, she didn't really want to come, but he told her to come, and she felt faintly happy...

Is this what you like?

Why is it different from the liking in the previous life?

What was it like in the previous life? In the previous life, as long as she thought that the young master of the Anping Hou Mansion liked her, she wished she could grow wings and fly out of the Zhou family; in the previous life, as long as she thought of Liang Mingxuan, her heart was filled with happiness, and she felt She no longer needs to go hungry, no longer needs to be beaten and scolded, no longer needs to work day and night; in her previous life, she couldn't wait to marry Liang Mingxuan, and wanted to be the hostess of Anping Houfu.

Is that like?
Yijia bit her lip, faintly feeling that she didn't like it.

That... seems to be the greed for the powerful and the better life in the future.

But what does real love look like?
"What are you thinking about?" At some point, Liang Mingzhi had stopped and looked over curiously.

His eyes are bright, and there is a faint smile on his face, Yijia is a little embarrassed to be stared at by him.

"Yesterday, what did you and your father do at Kang's house?" She hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Is it related to me?"

Liang Mingzhi didn't think like Xiao Song did. He told Yijia about the situation early on. He believed that Yijia would not feel inferior to him because of Mrs. Kang's actions, so he didn't hide it from her and put the Mrs. Kang told me about her plan.But he concealed the matter of Kang Jiakang Qikun and He Lian. Although he knew there must be something hidden in it, he didn't want to let Yijia know that in order to marry her, Kang Qikun refused others, even a concubine. .

Little girls are the easiest to be deceived, so you need to take it easy.

This Yijia had heard from Xiao Song yesterday, so she didn't take it seriously at all, but after listening to Liang Mingzhi again, she became even more curious about Ran's plan.

Under such circumstances, she can come and sell well, and her temper doesn't look like her aunt's at all.

Yijia couldn't figure it out so she didn't think about it, and asked Liang Mingzhi: "Then the Kang family didn't say anything? Did Mr. Kang make things difficult for father?"

The Kang family made mistakes first, even though Liang Mingzhi didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew that Zhou Chengyan would not be embarrassed.

He shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Kang should be very ashamed, after all, the matter was made by his family."

Yijia felt a little sympathetic to Kang Qikun, but it was just a thought.

After all, it was someone else's business, she and Kang Qikun would never have any contact with each other again, and besides, in front of Liang Mingzhi, she couldn't worry about others.

Liang Mingzhi saw that there was nothing wrong with her demeanor, so he stopped talking, pulled her to sit beside him, and began to teach her how to play the piano seriously.

He would like to play some sentimental songs, but the time is really not right now, just now he talked about the drum music on the battlefield, now he played the song High Mountain and Flowing Water.

When playing the piano, he plays the piano, but he still wants to hold people in his arms.

Yijia was hugged by him, she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, and she couldn't remember which notes she played after playing a piece.

The warm, fragrant and soft jade is in his arms again, Liang Mingzhi is reluctant to let go, so he wants to play another song.

Yijia took his hand and stuck so close to him, she was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do.They, it's wrong for them to do this... But thinking about the past life, they did everything in the past life, and if they do this now, isn't it a little bit of money here?

She grabbed his right hand, not allowing it to rest on her waist.

The little girl looked ashamed, but she just sat upright, as if she dared but couldn't speak, so Liang Mingzhi couldn't help but want to tease her.

Resting her chin on her slender shoulders, she said softly, "Why, don't you want to learn?"

"Let's...can we not be like this..." In this way, she couldn't speak well, nor could she play the piano well.

"How is it?" Liang Mingzhi pretended to be puzzled, let go of his left hand holding the strings, put his arms around her waist, and said, "Isn't it like this?"

It was obviously to tease her, but she has a slender waist, and Liang Mingzhi himself felt unnatural when they were so close.Fearing that her breathing would scare her, she leaned back a little too busy.

Yijia had no choice but to let go and grab his left hand.

Liang Mingzhi took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist.

"Yijia, let's get married as soon as possible." He said in a muffled voice.

Just hugging her like this, and she is obedient, neither resisting nor making noise, this is something he never dared to think about before.

There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Yijia heard it as soon as she heard it.

She pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

With a simple word, Liang Mingzhi felt that the sourness of the two lifetimes in his heart disappeared almost instantly.

"Okay, next year, the end of next year." He made a decision.

Yijia listened to him and nodded immediately.

Liang Mingzhi let go of her arms, turned her around, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Go quickly, lest your aunt find out if you stay too long."

Yijia was suddenly a little bit reluctant, she hesitated for a moment, and mustered up the courage to give him a hug as well.

Liang Mingzhi was ecstatic, but by the time Yijia wanted to leave, it was already too late, he had already lifted him up and hugged him in his arms.

She was only 12 years old, and she was small in his arms, as if holding a child.

Yijia's heart trembled first, and somehow she thought of Le Chengmin. Earlier, she mistakenly thought that Liang Mingzhi liked Le Chengmin.

"You...you are not a pedophile, are you?" She stammered and asked.

Liang Ming was startled, and then almost wanted to reveal the fact she had been hiding all along.

He let go of his hand and looked at her chest.He said lightly: "...Little boy?"

Yi Jia blushed at his undisguised call, and hurriedly opened his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's not serious!"

Taking advantage of Liang Mingzhi not holding her, she got up and ran a few steps away in a hurry.

"I'm leaving!" She glanced at him and ran away.

Liang Mingzhi couldn't help laughing, and ignored her after laughing, and told Chen An and Chen Ping to pack up and prepare to go back.There are still [-] days left for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will go to Anning Hou Mansion to bring his grandmother back, and he needs to move Aunt Ran out of the mansion.

Liang Mingzhi left without waiting for Zhou Chengyan to come back that day. At that time, Yijia was living in Bishui, and Liang Mingzhi didn't specifically notify her after bidding farewell to Xiao Song.

After Yijia knew about it, somehow, she felt a little sour in her heart.

But when it was almost time for dinner, Bai Lu brought a letter to Yijia.

"I have something to do at home, I'm going back first, and I'll come to see you in two days." With a simple sentence, Yijia couldn't help laughing while holding the letter.

In the evening, Yijia waited for Zhou Chengyan at the gate.

Because his daughter said something was up, Zhou Chengyan took her directly to the study.

Yijia said: "Father, my daughter has something to hide from you."

Zhou Chengyan knew what she was going to say almost at the door, so he calmly asked her to sit down and speak slowly.

Yijia was a little afraid to sit down.

After all, she didn't really feel safe in her heart.

Compared with the previous life, everything in this life seems like stolen happiness.Although her father was very kind to her and loved her very much, she couldn't help but think of her lonely and helpless life in her previous life.In an ordinary family, no matter how good a daughter is, she cannot compare to a son.Although Zhou Xuan is only a nephew, after all, his father has no children. If he had to choose one of the two, his father would definitely choose her, but if he didn't have to choose, she couldn't believe that after she did something that hurt Zhou Xuan, would his father still choose her? forgive her.

She stumbled and told about Zhou Xuan's design of her and Feng Zhou, and also of Zhou Xuan's design.Although she said she did it herself, she didn't mention Liang Mingzhi's help.

Zhou Chengyan felt a little sad when he saw his daughter.

In fact, why didn't he know that his daughter kept hiding it because she was afraid of being blamed?To be honest, when he found out for the first time, he also felt that Yijia had done too much, but after he calmed down and thought about it, if Zhou Xuan got his way, then Yijia would never be able to wash away his ignorance. reputation.

Even if it is possible to hide it from outsiders, the Feng family will definitely not be able to hide it.

He believed in his sister and brother-in-law, but the Feng family was not a small family. If they married and were looked down upon by the family members, or even secretly spurned, how could he be willing?

"I know, you don't have to worry, father won't be deceived by them." Zhou Chengyan patted his daughter's head and sighed.

"You know? Mother told you?" Yijia asked in surprise.

Zhou Chengyan shook his head, "No, I found out a long time ago, but you didn't tell me, so I didn't ask."

Yijia was stunned, not knowing what to do next.

"Although I can't say that you did the right thing, as long as you did it, no matter how wrong it is, father will not blame you." Zhou Chengyan felt distressed when he saw it, and said: "What's more, this matter was originally committed by Brother Xuan. If you want to blame, you can only blame your father for not knowing people's hearts, and blame your father for not protecting you well."

As he spoke, his heart was sour.

The reason why the daughter is so worried is because she doesn't have a brother, so she is afraid that he will put her hope in the big house, right?Before that, he really felt that even if he didn't have a son, he wouldn't be afraid. The eldest brother has two sons, so why won't he take care of his daughter in the future?
But after this incident, he also understood that the people in Dafang are unreliable.

I really need a son.

"Father—" Yijia plunged into Zhou Chengyan's arms.

She didn't expect her father to say that.

Not only didn't blame her, but also said so.

"Father...I'm sorry, I...I should have told you earlier." She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Chengyan was a little surprised and at a loss for his daughter's hug.

"Well, no matter what happens in the future, Jia'er must tell father immediately." He said.

Yijia froze.

Then, do you want to talk about Liang Mingzhi?

Say, will father be angry?
She withdrew from Zhou Chengyan's embrace, wiped away her tears carefully, but still didn't dare to speak out.

Zhou Chengyan didn't know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Stop crying, wash up, let's go to your aunt's for dinner."

Yijia nodded with a smile, and called Qiushuang who was guarding outside.

Zhou Chengyan and Xiao Song took a break early today.

After the lamp was turned on, Xiao Song climbed onto the bed, and just as she lay down on the outside, an arm stretched out.

Being hugged by Zhou Chengyan, Xiao Song immediately sensed his intentions, and hurriedly reached out to push him, "Master..."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Chengyan asked hoarsely.

Xiao Song said: "Master, I am a concubine...I'm afraid I have one."

Zhou Chengyan immediately sat up.

"Really?" His voice was a little loud in the dark, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his voice.

Xiao Song also sat up and hummed with a smile.

Zhou Chengyan hugged her and said: "That's great, that's great, but have you asked the doctor to take a look, how many months has it been?" Then he said: "You too, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's still like this these days Work hard, what can I do if I am exhausted?"

"It's so expensive. The time is still short. I haven't invited the doctor to see it. I thought I would invite him in a few days." Xiao Song also stretched out her arms to hug him, her heart was filled with warmth.

It would be nice if it was a son.

"Ziming went back, but Doctor Jiang said he likes our yard, so he hasn't left yet." Zhou Chengyan said, "I'll ask him to come and show you tomorrow."

Xiao Song said with a smile: "Just ask an ordinary doctor to take a look. An ordinary doctor knows whether you are healthy or not."

Zhou Chengyan shook his head in the dark, "That's impossible. Now that I have a body, I have to ask the doctor what to eat and what not to eat. I have to ask Doctor Jiang about this." After speaking, thinking of his little daughter Yiwan, he felt a little bit He said apologetically, "I was not in the capital when you gave birth to Wan'er, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard at all." Xiao Song said.

The husband and wife talked for a long time overnight, but in the end Zhou Chengyan thought that pregnant women should not stay up too late, and forced Xiao Song to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chengyan went to invite Dr. Jiang.

Doctor Jiang is used to getting up late, but seeing Zhou Chengyan's urgent reminder, he rushed over with sleepy eyes.

After checking the pulse, what they got was not news that made the couple happy.

Dr. Jiang said: "Mrs. Zhou suffers from coldness in the palace, and the date of menstruation in the past is not very accurate. I will prescribe two medicines for you. Take it and see."

"...Gonghan?" Xiao Song's joy fell through, and she couldn't help crying, "No, isn't she pregnant? But, but I recently..."

"It's because you're too tired, and even though it's autumn, the weather hasn't completely cooled down, and your menstruation date is not accurate, so it's normal to have these symptoms." Doctor Jiang said, "I'll give you a prescription." Two patches of medicine, and a prescription for diet therapy, within half a year, you will be cured of the coldness of your uterus, and the chances of conception will be higher by then."

Sitting on a chair, Mrs. Song almost fell over after hearing this.

"I'm here for Dr. Jiang." Zhou Chengyan hurriedly said to Dr. Jiang while supporting Xiao Song.

Doctor Jiang waved his hand and walked out.

"Master... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Thinking of the joy of the two of them last night, Xiao Song felt even more ashamed to see Zhou Chengyan.

Zhou Chengyan felt very sad when his happiness was thwarted.

"It's okay. Didn't Doctor Jiang say that with medicine and diet, he will be cured within half a year. The child will still be there, so don't be sad." He cheered up and persuaded.

Xiao Song sucked her nose, then suddenly reached out and wiped away her tears.

"Master, take a concubine!" She said firmly, "Take a concubine from a clean family background."

Zhou Chengyan didn't even think about it, and immediately retorted: "No!"
