After a long time, Cen Erye felt that Cen Erniang was no longer crying behind him, so he took a step forward, broke away from his daughter's embrace, turned around to support her weakened shoulders, smiled at her reddened eyes, and said softly: "I told you this for my father, not to ask you to shed tears for me." ”

"Good boy, at the latest at noon, the results of my annual examination will be transmitted back to Xifu. If I am really unfortunate enough to be ranked last, I will be robbed of my status as a showman. I believe that soon, the news of my dethronement will spread throughout the entire Cen family in Tonghua Lane, and even the entire Hong'an Mansion. ”

"After all, I, an unlucky showman, am even more embarrassing than Zhongyong in "Hurt Zhongyong"." Second Master Cen couldn't help laughing at himself: "Heh! Who would have thought that the former teenager Xie Yuan, the most popular candidate for the champion in the spring of next year, would not even be able to keep his own talent and fame. ...... then"

After Cen Erniang cried, she regained her previous calmness, wisdom and shrewdness, she didn't like her father to hurt himself too much, so she took over Cen Erniang's words: "You mean, let me wait until the results of the annual examination come out, and then have a showdown with my grandmother?" ”

"Not bad." Second Master Cen looked at the entire Cen family with appreciation and pride, and the haze on his face faded away, "If I am really deposed as a citizen, it will be the biggest joke and shame of the Cen family." According to your grandfather's love of fame and selfishness, he could not tolerate me, a waste who could not even test his fame, to be left in Xifu and disgrace him. The first thing he had to do when he heard the news was to remove me from the Cen family, drive me and your mother out of the Cen family, and cut off relations and all contact with us. ”

"If that's the case, I, my eldest brother and younger brother, too, will go with you and my mother! We are a family, we can't be separated! Cen Erniang stubbornly and sternly looked at Cen Erniang's eyes.

"Of course we won't be apart. You are the heart and soul of me and your mother, how can we be willing to live with you! Second Master Cen smiled gently, and the book was full of anger, "But after all, the three of you are the descendants of the Cen family, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for your grandfather and the elders of the clan to let me take you away." ”

"At this time, if we want to reunite as a family, we have to borrow the power of your grandmother. That's why I'm asking you to keep these two confessions for the critical moment. ”

"It's not so easy for your grandmother and Dafang to replace our second room in your grandfather's heart and seize the second room's family property." Second Master Cen thought that his wife was so sick by his "benevolent and square" mother-in-law that she was so thin that she was almost inhuman, and it was difficult to even breathe, so he hated it, "Even if our second room is doomed to ruin, and Qi Qi is driven out of the Cen family by your grandfather, I won't cheapen them!" ”

"Your grandmother and aunt, you shouldn't have touched your mother. The treasure I protected on the tip of my heart was almost killed by those two poisonous women and returned to Huangquan! If I don't teach them to take off a layer of skin, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

Cen Erniang and Cen Erye shared the same enemy and said: "Not bad! Since we are very likely to be driven away, from now on, we have to find some gold and silver treasures for the second room. In the future, we will go out of the house and set up another door, and we must not be short of money. ”

Cen Erniang smiled like a cunning little fox, "Grandmother and aunt were both from a family, and they married into the Cen family back then, and they didn't know how many they married. They are so rich, and they still think about our poor people's silver, this time, I have to make them break their muscles and bones! ”

"My son's words have won my heart." Second Master Cen's big fox eyes flashed with a calculating light, "Since they want Xifu so much, then spend money to buy it!" You have to keep those two confessions and send someone to watch Yang and his wife, they are the most important and valuable witnesses. ”

"Hmm. I have sent them to be kept under strict watch, and my father is relieved. ”

Cen Erniang suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell Sù Cen Er Ye that her eldest aunt was likely to be pregnant with a baby boy, so she told Cen Er Ye about it in a few words. The two big and small foxes surnamed Cen got together to whisper and plan.

This secret conversation is an hour.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the night sky was as thick as splashing ink, and there was not a trace of light.

In the dark night, outside Mo Changxuan, Lin, who had not seen her husband for half a day, held Xiao'er in one hand and a food box in the other, and a mother-in-law in front of her and behind her carried a lantern to light the way for her. When the four of them were stopped outside the study door by Yumo, Shuying had already reported to Cen Erniang and Cen Erye inside.

The two generals of Cen's second grandfather, father and daughter, will discuss the overall plan, and when they heard that the Lin family and Cen Saburo were coming, they ordered Yumo and Shuying to open the door and welcome them in.

Lin has just recovered from a serious illness, his body is thin, his face is pale, and his whole person is so thin that he seems to be a piece of paper that can be blown away by the wind. And Cen Saburo, who was held by her, also looked like a haunt, he was infected with a cold a few days ago and was still having a fever.

Cen Erye and Cen Erniang looked at the sick mother and son, distressed, and took a step forward together, one pulled Lin's warm words, and the other picked up Cen Sanlang and sat on the warm couch to chat with him.

Second Master Cen held Lin's hand and said, "The night is cool and windy, why are you still running outside." Erniang and I are about to warm up Meitang and have an evening meal with you, Da Lang and San Lang. Look at you, the night breeze is blowing, and your hands are cold like this, why don't you hug a soup woman? By the way, what about Dalang? Dancing knives and swords again? ”

Second Master Cen chattered, and naturally put Lin's hands under his big palm to warm her hands.

Lin smiled gently, and held Second Master Cen's hand, "I don't feel cold. After Da Lang finished his homework, he went to the courtyard to play with his newly-acquired sword, and he said that he would discuss the sword with Master Wu, and it was estimated that he would have eaten in the outer courtyard by this time. Husband, what are you talking about with Erniang? Why have you been talking for so long? You haven't eaten yet, are you hungry? I brought the evening food, let's use it together. ”

"I didn't talk about anything, just some trivial matters, and I'll talk to you when I get back to my room in the evening." Why don't we dine first? ”

"It's fine." Lin has no objection.

Only then did Second Master Cen order Yumo and Shuying to take the dishes in the food box to the outer reception room to set them up, and let them set up the meal, so they went to the small courtyard to eat, and then came back to be on duty after eating.

Yumo and Shuying set up the meal with their hands and feet neatly, and quickly retreated. After such a thrilling afternoon, they had been standing outside the study for a long time, and they were already hungry.

Here, Cen Erniang was holding her little brother in her arms and telling him stories softly. As soon as she was halfway through the story of "Bag Ying Xue", Second Master Cen and the Lin family urged the selfless sister and brother to go out to eat.

After the family had a warm evening meal, Cen Erniang took her little brother who still wanted to listen to the story and went to her courtyard, leaving time and space for Cen Erye and his wife.

After Cen Erye and Lin returned to the main room and sent off the slaves, he briefly told Cen Erniang the results of the investigation, as well as his plan with Cen Erniang, and told Lin to listen.

Lin received too much amazing news at once, and was completely stunned.

Second Master Cen enlightened her a few more words, and told her about his aunt Zhou's hometown - Anping Town, Qing'an County, Huaizhou Prefecture.

Although Second Master Cen had never been to Anping Town in person, he often heard Aunt Zhou talk about it when he was a child, and Zhou always told him how beautiful Anping Town was, how outstanding people were, and how kind the people there were......

Every time he said it, Second Master Cen was fascinated.
