Chapter 272: Coming to the Door (3)
"I've seen the eldest master, the third master, the fourth master, and Mr. Ji......" Second Master Cen said to the four of Master An who were frozen at the door with An Sanshao from a distance: "You distinguished guests have come from afar, and it is really a disappointment." Please come in, please come in! ”
Master An and the others immediately smiled and hugged their fists to greet Second Master Cen: "Master Cen, I haven't seen you for many days, and your demeanor is even better than in the past!" It's really envious of me. ”
Cen Erniang and Cen Dalang, who was disguised as Cen Yan, turned sideways and stood aside, avoiding the salutes of Master An and the others. After standing still, they respectfully bowed to Master An and greeted: "Senior Cen Yan (Cen Qingzhi), I have seen a few elders. The arrival of all distinguished guests really makes our Cen family shine. ”
Master An and the others suddenly laughed even more.
Because they didn't want the "losers" in the family to do bad things, they didn't ask An Sanye's father, who didn't care about everything and taught his grandson to read at home. Because An Sanye didn't know that Cen Erniang was his daughter, Master An was afraid that he would come over and reveal his true feelings, which would stiffen the atmosphere, which was not conducive to the marriage of the two families.
Therefore, Lin heard a rumor in the small kitchen that Elder An and they came, but they did not come out to greet the guests. Still skillfully preparing lunch for the mouthy fortune operator master.
If the food does not satisfy the master, he will leave his chopsticks and skip eating.
The guests of the An family, compared with the master, are naturally more valuable and closer to the master. Besides, the An family did not have a female dependent, and it was difficult for the Lin family to come forward to receive them.
Master An looked at Cen Erniang with a smile for a moment, and then looked at Cen Yan, the adopted son of the Cen family who was a little inexplicably familiar, and asked the two little guys behind him to hug two wooden boxes stacked together.
He personally picked up one of the slender boxes and gave it to Cen Erniang, asking her to go down to observe it, saying that it contained the authentic work of Jing Taizu that he had finally obtained - a magnificent landscape painting.
Jing Taizu is good at painting landscapes, his brushes and ink are natural, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, Cen Erniang likes it very much. It's just that because of Taizu's noble status, few paintings flow out of the people.
Rare things are expensive, and a painting has been fried for thousands of dollars.
Master An followed An Sanshao's advice again. gave Cen Yan a flattened box. said that there was an out-of-print military book in it, ensuring that it was absolutely against Cen Yan's spleen and stomach.
Cen Erniang and Cen Yan took the box and retreated. Because they saw that Master An had a few things, and they wanted to say something to Second Master Cen alone.
Cen Erniang before leaving. Seeing the old fox Master An, he held the other two square boxes with his own hands, saying that they were filled with fine inkstones and ancient ink, and he wanted to go to the study to play with Er Master Cen.
The three of them also shook paper fans and followed behind the two of them. Walk towards the study.
Cen Erniang's expression was extremely nervous, her pace was stiff and slow, and An Sanshao, who was at the end, gave a look and asked him to go with their brothers and sisters, and go down to talk about what the An family wanted to do when they ran over with such fanfare.
An Sanshao is empty-minded, where do you dare to go with Cen Yan and Cen Erniang. He followed behind Yumo and said, "I'll go with you and watch those rough guards unload the gifts, lest they break things." ”
After all, it's like a rabbit with its tail stepped on. Quickly fled.
"Look at An San's appearance, there must be something weird!" Cen Yan stroked his upper lip with one hand and specially cultivated it, with a thick beard that was only one-third of a fingernail long, and nodded as he spoke: "Yes, there must be a cat." ”
"Anyone with a normal brain knows that this is not normal." Cen Erniang's eyes rolled, looking at the carts of gifts from a distance, and was guided by Yumo and others to the empty side courtyard, an idea suddenly popped up in her heart, she asked Cen Yan with a side face: "Big brother." You said...... Master An, they came over with all the courtesies, didn't they come to propose? ”
"Propose?!" Cen Yan jumped up on the spot like a fried lion that had only been hit by an arrow.
"Not really." Cen Erniang recalled the meaningful gaze that Master An looked at her, and An Sanshao's concealed demeanor. And that cart of generous gifts. I was even more convinced that my guess was correct: "Nine out of nine want to propose to our family on behalf of An San." ”
Cen Yan couldn't believe that Master An had calculated his sister so quickly. He covered his ears and said, "Not necessarily, maybe they have something to do with their father." If you propose marriage, why don't you see the official media? ”
"Big brother, don't forget, I'm still a man now." Cen Erniang mentioned her marriage. But he didn't feel shy at all, but wanted to laugh: "An San is also a man." If the official media came forward to propose marriage to me and spread the word, wouldn't it be ...... Smile generously! Hehe. ”
"You can still laugh, if they really came to propose, so many people today watched the An family hire the Cen family. Tomorrow, the entire Anping Town, and even Qing'an County, will spread that the deputy governor of the An family and the divine doctor of the Cen family are a pair of broken sleeves. ”
Soon, it will spread throughout Cheongju and the southwest, and even to Hong'an and the capital. When people who know each other listen to it, they don't laugh off their big teeth. When the time comes, our family will be laughed at. The name of the Cen family will be ruined by the An family! It's infuriating to think about! I should have ...... in the first place."
"That's it? Killed An Sanshao? Or is it a dead house? Cen Erniang smiled disappreciably: "You can't do either of these things, so don't be cruel." The mouth grows on someone else's body, and people want to say, can we still sew people's mouths together? ”
"Besides, what's wrong with being gossiped about, we won't lose a piece of meat? In the years since I moved out of Hong'an Cen's house, I have already seen it. Fame is often the most useless ......"
"But a lot of people are very fame-conscious." Cen Yan was heartbroken for Cen Erniang: "Erniang, have you thought about it, if you don't marry An San in the end, and you are so troubled by the An family this time, what good reputation can you have?" In the future, if you meet someone you like, and the other party dislikes you because of this matter, and treats you slowly, especially if your husband's family uses this matter to pinch you, what should you do? ”
"Big brother!" Cen Erniang bowed her head slightly in understanding, and said, "What you say is reasonable......
"Of course it makes sense!" Cen Yan hurriedly said, "No, I have to go to my father to talk about it." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Cen Erniang grabbed his arm, sighed twice, and said, "Don't go, I haven't finished my words yet." Since the An family is doing this, they want to cut off my back road and make An Sanshao my best choice. Then I might as well do what they wish, marry and settle down and harm them. ”
"Nonsense!" Cen Yan was suddenly angry, panting and said, "What is your identity?" Why do you want to use your precious jade to touch the pile of broken stones in the An family?! Say anything about marrying and settling down, I will never agree! ”
Wait another two or three years. When he succeeded, his sister became a noble eldest princess, even if she was a few years older, she could rely on her appearance, talent and identity. What kind of person can't marry!
Just now he said that his sister's future husband's family might use this matter to pinch her, just to remind her and let her not suffer from Master An's trouble. With him, who will dare to give his sister a look in the future? Whoever dares to commit a crime will have his head cut off!
Don't wait for Cen Erniang to speak. Cen Yan said again: "I have already arranged for your future. Originally, I saw An Sanshao's sincerity before, and he was single-minded to you, but it is rare that you are also distracted by him, I wanted to listen to your words and give him a chance. ”
"But the An family does this, its heart is not pure! What kind of plum blossom alliance and plum blossom guard that Master An did is another big hidden danger. After all, paper can't contain the fire, maybe one day, the bottom of the An family will be lifted by the Jing family. Waiting for them. It is to raid the family and exterminate the family. ”
Regardless of these, Ansan's grandmother Huo and mother Qi are not fuel-efficient lamps. I've heard that they've even tried to stop you from marrying into the An family, but they've even played such a trick as suicide. In addition, there are also An San's two married sisters, who can also make trouble. ”
"They are blind date with the Huo family and the Wei family, so they are naturally very prejudiced against you. If you marry into a family, will you not be an enemy on your back? The woman in the back house launched a ruthless rectification of people, which is more terrible than me going to the battlefield. Not to mention that the Huo family is an elder, just a word of 'filial piety'. It can overwhelm you. ”
Cen Yan ignored Cen Erniang's surprised face, and said categorically: "I will never call my only sister to marry into such a troublesome nest as Anjia." You don't have to say more, I have this matter. I'll go to the study. Asked my father to push the matter. Give away the An family and the dowry they brought. ”
"Oh, I almost forgot, bring the box you have in your hand. You like the authentic works of Taizu, and when Brother enters the palace, he will collect a few more paintings for you from the treasury. I'll go talk to Yumo later. In the future, Cen Zhai's family and dogs were not allowed to enter. ”
Cen Erniang listened to Cen Yan's tirade almost dumbfounded. She didn't know before that her eldest brother was so scary! Does he still know about the back house? Is...... Hahaha! It's so much fun! She thought he only knew the art of war, strategy, and checks and balances.
However, what her eldest brother said is also very reasonable. She'll listen for now.
After Cen Erniang saw Cen Yan leave, she went back to her study with her hands up. I opened a travelogue and thought about it while flipping through it. Look at today's old man An and a few of their old guys looking at her expression, obviously knowing her true identity, that's why they are so pleasant.
Especially the old fox Master An. He wanted to jump out to help An San marry her back to An when the Cen family was weak and the six princes were eyeing her behind her back.
Although the situation of the Cen family is not good now, and her situation is not good, the An family is not much better. An San's official position is unstable, and Master An is threatened by the mysterious forces represented by her eldest brother, and the An family desperately needs her, Cen Ershao, who was openly guarded by Cen Ge Lao and Cen Hanlin, to go to the town house.
Although after An San married her back at this time, her reputation would be bad for the time being, but the benefits were real. And she is a daughter, she really married and became a wife, and she is pregnant, so she can naturally disclose her true identity.
At that time, she will ask her master to set up a name to fool outsiders, which will destroy the reputation of her and An Cen, and also eliminate the luxury of the six princes. The sixth prince still wants to compete with the crown prince, how can she be contaminated with her, a pregnant courtier? Unless he doesn't want that position anymore.
When the time comes, you will truly gain fame and fortune. Tong guò she and the Cen family are good friends, and the road is more wide, and the background is also stable.
It's really unpleasant to think about. Cen Erniang crumpled the pages with one hand, and her eyes danced with a fierce and calculating light: Master An wanted to make the best use of her, which made her a little cold and unhappy.
"An Jia has repeatedly challenged my bottom line, even if An San is here, this time it can't be just like that. Whoever makes me unhappy, I have to make him even more unhappy. Cen Erniang didn't know what to think, smoothed out the crumpled paper, and smiled like a little fox and like a little wolf: "Wait for the recruitment, Master An." ”
……
On the other side, in Cen's second master's study, after greeting Er Cen with Er Chef Cen, Master An really proposed the matter of the An family and the Cen family's marriage.
Cen Erye smiled undeniably, and after listening to the self-selling boast of the four princesses of Master An, they boasted that An Sanshao was a rare good man and a good object in the world, and praised Cen Erniang again and again.
Although the four of them did not say that Cen Erniang was a daughter, they all said that Cen Ershao and An Sanshao were a perfect match, and the two were right, and they had similar interests, so they should be together.
also said that the two of them are not young anymore, and they have a few years of emotional foundation, so they should do their best to get married, and then get married.
The more Second Master Cen listened, the deeper his smile became. It's just that his smile doesn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and it looks a little cold.
Cen Yan and Cen Erniang can see the calculations, how can Cen Erye turn a blind eye? He was really angry and hateful to Master An and others in his heart. But now everyone hasn't torn their faces yet, and let's listen to their nonsense to see if they can blow out a flower.
Master An was a little weak by Second Master Cen's laughter, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cen Yan, who pushed the door in and had a face as black as ink, "Elders, there is something at home today, so we can't entertain you." ”
Cen Yan said indifferently under the suddenly cold expressions of Master An and the others: "Please also ask the Lord to go out with me, and urge the people to hurry up and ship the gifts of the An family." Our family's financial resources are not as good as An's. But the Cen family is not a shameless person who can't eat, and they will never sell their children for glory. The family affairs of Lord An and his brother, as if you have not mentioned it, we have not heard of it. Please come back. ”
"Ho!" The fourth master An was the first to break out, he pointed at Cen Yan and shouted: "You are just the adopted son of the Cen family, when will it be your turn to give advice to the An family and the Cen family?" Our gentleman and Cen Ershao's family affairs can't tolerate your beak! You apologize to us immediately and get out, and this master will act as if he didn't hear what he said. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful and bullying juniors! ”
Seeing that Cen Yan was about to be irritable again, Second Master Cen smiled lightly and flew a glance at him, signaling him to calm down, and stood up and said, "The third master is angry, don't be impatient." Ah Yan Although he is my adopted son, I regard him as my own, and after Da Lang goes, I treat him as my own son. Ah Yan did not live up to his attention, and his words and deeds were decent. Now everyone in the Cen Mansion knows that the words of the young master are my words......"
Master An's eyes swished and released the ice arrow, looked at Second Master Cen coldly, glanced at Cen Yan again, and said, "Master Cen said this, is he trying to tell us, Fang Caiyan's words are what you mean." Our Ancen family, can we get married? (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
