Chapter 159 Enter Beijing, enter the mansion

Early the next morning, the team set off in full gear.

Because the snow is too big, the road is very difficult to walk, from Lin'an Town to Kyoto Sheng'an, but about fifty miles away, the convoy actually rushed to the road for a day, when entering Shengjing, it was almost to the unitary time, this time in early winter, the sky has been darkened.

The team entered the city from the south gate, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion of the Cen family, located in the northeast direction of the capital, and most of the people living in that location were the powerful families in Sheng'an City.

And Wei San and Xiao Jiu brothers are separated from Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiyan at the intersection of the eastern and northern districts of the city, obviously, the location where they live is also the area where the powerful in the capital are concentrated, Cen Xiyan is not surprised at all.

The carriage bypassed the main entrance of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and stopped at the corner gate at the west end, although it was a corner gate, it was also decorated with exquisite style, showing the majesty of this mansion, and the high walls on both sides of the corner gate were so long that there was no end in sight.

Before entering the city, Cen Hongmian sent Shi Mo to ride a fast horse back to Cen's house to deliver the letter, so at this moment, there were already a few slaves with lanterns waiting here at the corner gate.

The housekeeper Cen Fu saw Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiyan get down from the carriage, and hurriedly took the slaves, walked a few steps, and stepped forward to salute.

Cen Hongmian nodded, and then ordered: "Drive the carriage in first, and move Miss Six's luggage, boxes and other things in order and tidy, don't bump into it." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and asked again: "Has Miss Six's residence been arranged?" ”

Cen Fu bowed down and replied: "Back to the words of the third young master, the Hou Ye has already ordered, the sixth lady will live in the Jinglan Pavilion where Aunt Gu used to live, and Mrs. Zhao has already sent someone to clean and decorate the Jinglan Pavilion, just waiting for the sixth miss to come back." ”

"Hmm." Cen Hongmian thought for a while, then looked at a mother-in-law who looked like a housekeeper, and asked, "Mother Li, have grandmothers and mothers rested?" ”

Mother Li replied respectfully: "Back to the third young master, the old lady has already had dinner, and now he said that he is not in good spirits, a little sleepy, and he has already rested, and he ordered him to come down and say, let the sixth miss rest first, and then go to ask for peace tomorrow, the eldest lady and Mrs. Zhao also said, the sixth lady just arrived in the house today, it is not early, and she must be tired, so she will rest well for a night today, and tomorrow will meet the ladies, young masters, and young ladies of each courtyard together." ”

"Father can be in the house?" Cen Hongmian asked again.

Cen Fu took over and said, "Master Hou has entered the palace, and he hasn't returned to the house yet." ”

Cen Hongmian didn't say anything anymore, and Cen Quan hurriedly ordered the servants to come forward to help catch the car and lead the way.

After entering the corner gate, there was already a soft sedan waiting in the door, and Mother Li said to Cen Xiyan with a smile: "Jinglan Pavilion is still some way away from here, Miss Six, please get on the sedan chair." ”

The mansions of this kind of top powerful families are all wealthy deep houses, with a wide area, often from a small courtyard to another small courtyard, it takes half a day to walk, therefore, the masters of the house are basically equipped with small sedan chairs, and the ladies and ladies in the inner courtyard carry the sedan chairs, often stout and powerful middle-aged mothers-in-law.

Cen Xiyan didn't show any uncomfortable expression on his face, and smiled faintly, "There is Lao's mother"

Mother Li hurriedly smiled and humbled a little, and said secretly in her heart: This sixth young lady who grew up in the countryside doesn't seem to have the imaginary little family spirit, but I don't know, is it just temperament, or is it deliberately pretended?

Jingshuang and Yingxue are both eye-catching, although they know that Cen Xiyan is not the kind of delicate boudoir daughter, but at this time, they are also acting like this, and they stepped forward to support Cen Xiyan and sat in the soft sedan chair.

Cen Xiyan has traveled to this time and space for ten years, and it is the first time to sit in this kind of manpower sedan chair, I only feel that it is swaying, bumpy and upside down, and I don't feel very comfortable sitting, and I can't help but laugh at myself in my heart, I really can't be this ancient weak lady.

When the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Jinglan Pavilion, Cen Hongmian had already come over, and when he saw Cen Xiyan getting off the sedan chair, he stepped forward and said: "Suitcases and other things, someone will move them over in a while, your little servant and carriage, Cen Fu has also been placed, sixth sister, you have a good rest tonight, other things, everything will be talked about tomorrow." ”

Cen Xiyan said with a smile: "Well, I just returned home today, and the yard may be busy, so I won't invite the third brother to sit in, there is the third brother Lao to take care of this way, and Xiyan will say thank you to the third brother." ”

"You and I are brother and sister, isn't it too much to say thank you." Cen Hongmian teased and said: "Now that my sister is back, we will always see each other often in the future, so I will leave first." ”

"Okay, the third brother should go back and rest early."

Cen Hongmian bowed his hand to Cen Xiyan and left.

The courtyard of Jinglan Pavilion is quite spacious, the snow has been swept over, it is neatly cleaned up, there are no other flowers in winter, only the northwest corner of the courtyard, there are a few plum trees, but at this moment it is not yet the time for the plum blossoms to open, and the branches seem to be a little empty.

The main house in the courtyard is a two-storey small building, the area is not large, but it is also carved beams and painted buildings, it is very elegant, there are several wings on both sides of the small building, it is for the maid and the mother-in-law to live.

Entering the room of the main building, Cen Xiyan found that it was very clean, the house was very clean, and the brazier had been lit, and the house was very warm, she looked around at some familiar furnishings in the house, and felt a little in her heart.

When Cen Xiyan crossed, this body was only more than four years old, and she inherited the memory of the original body, but because she was too young, the memory of some things was very vague, and this Jinglan Pavilion was a place that was more impressive in the memory of the original body, and in those memories of Jinglan Pavilion, there would always be a woman who gently helped her dress up, fed her gently, smiled at her gently, and called her name in a gentle voice, that woman seemed to be very young and beautiful, but if you carefully recall the woman's appearance, But I can't remember what she looks like.

Cen Xiyan knew that that woman was her mother, Gu Tinglan, in this body.

It is rumored that Gu Tinglan died of illness, and she was the mother of her hard-fated daughter. Cen Xiyan didn't believe in any hard-hitting statements, and besides, Gu Tinglan in his memory didn't look like he was in bad health, how could he suddenly die violently? Doubts flashed in Cen Xi's heart.

But at this moment, it was obviously not the time for her to think too much, the servants had already moved her boxes and other things into the building, and Jingshuang and Yingxue were directing everyone to place the boxes.

Cen Xiyan didn't bring back many things, and it was quickly organized, Jingshuang took the purse that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Li's mother and other servants who helped one by one, and these mothers-in-law and girls only excused themselves slightly, and then accepted the purse. Pinching the broken silver in the purse, a trace of surprise flashed on their faces, and they were a little surprised by the generosity of the sixth lady's action.
