678. Chapter 673: Old Lady Cen's Sorrows
Old Mrs. Cen also called Li before returning to Furong Garden, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you can come too." ”
"Yes, mother." Li Shi answered, stepped forward and grabbed Old Taijun Cen's arm.
Cen Xiyan hurriedly followed the footsteps of Cen Lao Taijun and the Li family.
Cen Xiqin looked at Cen Xiyan's expression a little worried, and hesitated whether to follow as well, Cen Xiyan shook his head at her, reassuring her, Cen Xiqin finally gave up the idea of following the past and went back to his yard.
Cen Xihan, the fourth girl, who had not spoken from beginning to end, looked at Cen Xiyan's departing back, her eyes were gloomy and full of resentment, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and turned away.
When she arrived at Furong Garden, Mrs. Cen sent all the maids and women around her.
"Six girls, sit down and talk." Old Mrs. Cen said. The voice is quite kind.
"Thank you, grandmother." Cen Xiyan sat generously on the show dun that the maid had prepared.
The position of Xiudun is facing the couch where Mrs. Cen and the Li family are sitting, and the height is slightly lower, ordinary people will have a sense of oppression when they sit in such a position, but Cen Xiyan sits there, calm and frank, without a trace of nervousness.
Old Mrs. Cen looked at Cen Xiyan with scrutinizing eyes for a long time, and then couldn't help but sigh in her heart, looking at this girl's all-round style, as well as this pampered and humiliating performance, it is that the girls who grew up in the Cen family's mansion are also inferior, in the Zhuangzi in the countryside of Qingyuan Town, where can they develop such a look.
In fact, I should have found some clues a long time ago, since these six girls returned home, even if they deliberately kept a low profile, but some things that are integrated into their bones can't be changed, and they are good at poetry and calligraphy, how can such a girl be cultivated by Mr. Enlightenment sent by the Cen family casually!
Li Shi was calm, although he was also a little curious and looked at Cen Xiyan a lot, but other than that, there was no other emotion revealed.
Old Taijun Cen finally spoke, "Let's talk about it, six girls, where did you learn your riding and archery skills?" Do you still have the skills that your grandmother and your father and mother don't know? ”
Cen Xiyan had already thought about dealing with it, and replied without hesitation: "Grandmother, mother, do you still remember the 'bandits' that Xiyan encountered on the way to Qingyuan Town ten years ago? ”
Hearing Cen Xiyan mention the incident ten years ago, Cen Lao Taijun and Li's faces were a little uncomfortable.
They couldn't help but think of the dead Aunt Zhao, Cen Xiyan encountered "bandits" ten years ago, and there was a family that could not return in the past ten years, but it was all caused by Aunt Zhao, but no one in the Cen family found out about Aunt Zhao's calculation and frame-making, which led to Cen Xiyan being almost killed and separated from his relatives for ten years.
Li nodded and did not speak.
Old Mrs. Cen sighed, "It's the Cen family who can't stand you......"
"Grandmother, everything in the past was done by Aunt Zhao, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the Cen family, so you don't have to blame yourself." Although I don't know if the real Cen Liu, who has long since died, will be angry with the Cen family, at this time, the scene still has to be said.
After a pause, Cen Xiyan continued: "What my granddaughter wants to say is that back then, the reason why I escaped that catastrophe was that I met a passing Yunyou master, he saw that I was young and pitiful, and came to the rescue, I picked up a life, and then the master sent me to Qingyuan Town, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and I also lived there in seclusion for a few years, I also have a relationship with the master, he saw that I had good qualifications, so he temporarily became my teacher and taught me for a few years......
Cen Xiyan half-truthfully talked about her experience of apprenticeship back then, which was used to explain the origin of her skills.
Cen Lao Taijun and Li both looked surprised when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the gangster disaster designed by the Zhao family back then actually gave Cen Xiyan such an adventure!
"What is the name of the master? How old is it? Where are you from? Are you still in Qingyuan Town? Li interjected and asked.
Old Mrs. Cen nodded, "I want to ask clearly, he is your life-saving benefactor, so he is kind to our Cen family, and the Cen family should be grateful." ”
Cen Xiyan shook his head and said: "Mr. has passed the age of the sixtieth year, his old man is just idle to teach me for a few years, calligraphy and painting, riding and archery, teach whatever you want, Mr. teaches at will, as a student I also learn at will, but within a few years, Mr. left Qingyuan Town......"
Speaking of this, Cen Xiyan's face suddenly had an apologetic look, "Grandmother, mother, that's all Xiyan can say, about Mr., in fact, I don't know a lot, but it's some basic information, Mr. He also hopes that I can keep it secret, this is the reason why I let Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan not have to reveal about the existence of Mr. to the family." ”
Cen Quan and his wife have always taken good care of her in Qingyuan Town, and they have long been her confidants, and she doesn't want the Cen family to think that they are unfaithful to the Cen family, and they have any other thoughts after that.
As for the information she revealed about her master Bai Weixi, although it was not a lie, the key content was not at all, so she had no psychological burden.
is to portray her shameless drunkard master into a mysterious master who is both civil and military, indifferent to fame and fortune, and makes her blush for him a little.
What kind of people are Cen Lao Taijun and the Li family, they are all human-like characters, and naturally heard some of Cen Xiyan's extraneous meanings.
Old Mrs. Cen glanced at Cen Xiyan deeply, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then grandmother won't ask, you are also tired today, go back and rest." ”
"Grandmother, mother, that Xiyan has retired."
After Cen Xiyan left the meeting, Old Taijun Cen looked at the Li family, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you think of the child of the sixth girl?" ”
Li frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "There should be a lot of reservations about what she said." ”
Old Taijun Cen nodded, and then sighed, "The sixth girl has such an adventure, and she can no longer be treated like an ordinary lady, but I don't know what to do in the future...... Is it a blessing or a curse......
Thinking of the Prince Rui who was a little different from Cen Xiyan for some reason, Old Lady Cen felt a little throbbing in his brain.
"Mother, you don't have to worry too much." Li couldn't help but persuade: "Xiyan, this kid, looks like a good-hearted person, he shouldn't cause any trouble and harm the Cen family." ”
Old Taijun Cen thought of Cen Xiyan's performance in the riding and archery competition, and thought of the appearance of that medicine Luo Ge Wuyun when he finally exited, but his heart trembled a little.
"Although it looks like a righteous child, but the means are too strong and extreme, maybe it's still too young and vigorous, forget it, teach it slowly in the future, you are her mother, sometimes, what should be beaten has to be beaten, and what should be mentioned has to be mentioned."
Li nodded yes, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows." ”
