Cen Xiyan felt very strange in his heart, but he still replied to Cen Biao's words respectfully: "Back to my father's words, my daughter and the eighth sister are a little unhappy. ”

As for what kind of unpleasantness she had with Cen Xifen, Cen Xiyan didn't plan to say it in detail, she believed that since Cen Biao asked about this matter, he must have been very clear about what happened.

Cen Biao glanced at Che Xiyan seriously, and then said: "Your second uncle and second aunt are not in Beijing, over the years, Xifen has neglected discipline, and her temperament is a little stubborn and willful, but in the end, she is still young, and her parents are not around......"

Speaking of this, Cen Biao suddenly paused, feeling that he couldn't go on, speaking of which, Cen Xiyan was only two years older than Cen Xifen, and when he was younger than Cen Xifen, his parents were no longer around, and there were no other elders around him, and he lived alone for ten years......

Now he said this to her, Cen Xifen's pity, it seems...... Some can't say it!

Cen Xiyan smiled, took Cen Wei's meaning, and said, "Father, don't worry, I won't give the eighth sister general knowledge." "Provided that she doesn't provoke her again!

Cen Biao sighed secretly in his heart and diverted the topic.

The next conversation between the father and daughter was basically idle and unfocused, and Cen Biao just asked Cen Xiyan a few questions about food and life, like an ordinary father and daughter chatting about home.

However, Cen Xiyan could see that Cen Biao was actually not good at such a topic, and his tone and expression were not so natural.

Cen Xiyan was a little puzzled, could it be that Cen Biao came to her today to communicate with her about the relationship between father and daughter?

This kind of small talk didn't last long, Cen Biao couldn't go on anymore, and finally, he got up, took out a small box from the bookshelf, pushed it in front of Cen Xiyan, and said, "Take these things back, it's nothing, you go down." ”

"Father, what is this?" Cen Xiyan asked a little strangely.

"Take it back and look at it again." Cen Biao said, then picked up the ink pen, looking like he was going to work, obviously giving an eviction order.

Seeing this, Cen Xiyan didn't want to say anything more, stretched out his hand to take the box, got up, and saluted Cen Wei, "My daughter is leaving." ”

Cen Xiyan turned to leave, Cen Biao raised his head, looked at Cen Xiyan's background, and looked stunned, until Cen Xiyan came out of the study and his figure disappeared, he retracted his gaze, sighed lightly, put his hand on the sandalwood box that held the painting hand before, and stroked it gently......

Cen Xiyan walked out of Cen Qiu's study, and when Yingxue saw the box in her hand, she quickly reached out and took it.

The two greeted Cen An and walked towards Jinglan Pavilion.

On the way, Yingxue shook the box in her hand and asked curiously, "Miss, what is this?" ”

"I don't know." Cen Xiyan said.

Back on the small building of Jinglan Pavilion, Cen Xiyan opened the box and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the contents inside.

Jingshuang and Yingxue were there, poked their heads and looked in, Yingxue was quick and blurted out: "These things again?" Hou Ye is really careful......"

The things in the box are not unusual, they are some beaded flowers, rouge gouache and the like that the girl's family likes, as well as two jade hairpins with excellent quality and exquisite workmanship, and two silver tickets.

Bead flowers, hairpins, are now Sheng'an City popular style, rouge gouache is also the best in Sheng'an City a rouge shop produce, silver tickets each five hundred taels, a total of one thousand taels.

Cen Biao used to go to Qingyuan Town to see her, and he would also give her these things that the girl's family would like, but she still saw that these things were different from the past.

For example, beaded flowers and hairpins were sent in the past but were not luxurious, but this time they are obviously more gorgeous than in the past.

The types of water rouge are also more complete than before, and those two silver tickets should be for her waist and spending.

What does this mean? Do you think that she will go back to Beijing and walk around the aristocratic circles in the capital in the future, are you afraid that she will be ridiculed if she is too sour?

Moreover, he knew that the Li family, who didn't care about anything, and Aunt Zhao, who was hostile to her, would not carefully prepare these for her, so he, the father, made such a move?

Or is he hinting at her, wanting her to dress up brightly, to contact those nobles and sons, and to take on the responsibility of being the daughter of the Cen family?

Perhaps, all of the above?

Cen Xiyan took out the two silver tickets, handed them to Jingshuang, and ordered, "Put them away." ”

"What about these things?" Yingxue pointed to the box of things and asked.

"Those two hairpins received in my jewelry box, and you can watch and deal with the rest." Cen Xiyan said lightly.

Cen Xiyan's so-called "watching and processing" means that if the two girls have something they like, they can use it themselves, or send favors to the people in the house, find out the news, whatever.

Jingshuang and Yingxue understood Cen Xiyan's temper, and they were not polite, so they took the box and went down.

Cen Xiyan seems to be a little unkind to deal with the things sent by Cen Biao like this, if he changes to another daughter, he may be moved by such a careful gift from his father, but Cen Xiyan really can't be moved, because she knows very well that Cen Biao may have a little love for her, but this care is definitely mixed with a lot of other things, or some purposes, not pure father-daughter friendship.

She also understands that in the past ten years, counting the two meetings when they returned to Beijing, their father and daughter have met a total of six times, and it is impossible for Cen Biao to have a particularly deep father-daughter relationship with her. Even if he looked at her as if he was looking at another person through her, that little friendship should come from that person.

And she doesn't have that kind of admiration for her father for Cen Biao, not only because of the limited number of meetings in the past ten years, and the lack of time to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter, but also because there is a very main reason, although her body is the sixth miss of the Cen family, but her soul comes from another time and space far away, and the strong feelings for her parents and relatives, she has already given it to her family in another time and space.

Even in this Cen Mansion, Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiqin, who have a good relationship with her, at present, she is not a relative's affection for them, but a feeling of treating friends.

Perhaps, after getting along for a long time, there will be people in Cen Mansion who will impress her with the feelings between relatives, but it will never be now......

Before going to sleep, Cen Xiyan soaked in a cold water bath to relieve the blood boiling in his body.

And the quiet and melodious sound of the piano in the next house actually sounded on time again......

Cen Xiyan's eyelids picked, and finally lay in the bathtub without moving, trying to empty her mind and not think about those things that disturbed her mind......
