After entering the wax moon, the whole Cen Mansion is very busy every day.

Because after this month, it is the New Year, the lunar month, and everyone is busy preparing New Year's goods and gifts, and Cen Mansion is naturally no exception.

is also because the sixteenth day of the lunar month is the day when the sixth lady of the Cen family, Cen Xiyan, and the seventh lady, Cen Xiqin, hold and hold a ceremony. The ancient rites are complicated, and the Cen family is a famous family, so naturally they can't be sloppy at all.

The tenth day of the lunar month is the day of the Cen family's monthly family banquet, even if it is busy, on this day, the family also has to get together.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cen also knew that these days were busy, and everyone was quite tired, so after dinner, she waved her hand and let everyone disperse.

Cen Xiyan could see that Old Taijun Cen was obviously distracted today, and he looked a little absent-minded.

Walking out of Furong Garden with Cen Xiqin, Cen Xiyan asked casually, "Grandmother doesn't seem to be very energetic today, Xiqin, do you know what happened to your grandmother?" Not feeling well? ”

Cen Xiqin thought for a while and said: "I asked my grandmother about Chun Tao this morning, and my grandmother seems to be in good health, but ......" Cen Xiqin hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The third uncle has been away from home for many years, in fact, at the end of each year, my grandmother doesn't have much energy. ”

When Cen Xiyan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Mrs. Cen also had a third son, that is, her third uncle, named Cen Lan, who traveled abroad in his early years, and it is said that he has been away from home for ten years and has not returned home......

Mrs. Cen is missing her youngest son! Cen Xiyan sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.

However, thinking of the sensitive period of "ten years", Cen Xiyan's heart couldn't help but turn!

Ten years, another ten years, what a coincidence!

Ten years ago, her biological mother died of an inexplicable illness.

Ten years ago, the little "Miss Cen Liu" was given the reputation of "hard to defeat her relatives" and was sent out of the capital, and finally died tragically on the road and was taken by her.

Ten years ago, the Cen family's third master, who was both civil and military, and was amazingly talented, suddenly left home and disappeared.

During this time, the news that Jingshuang and Yingxue found out seemed to be ten years ago, and the eldest lady Li began to slowly ignore the affairs of the inner courtyard.

Ten years ago......

Ten years ago, what really happened in Cen Mansion?

During these days, Jingshuang and Yingxue started from the people in the mansion to inquire about her biological mother, but they didn't get any useful information.

Seem...... The old people in the house are very afraid of her biological mother's topic......

Cen Xiyan's mind tossed and turned for a long time, but he didn't come up with any clues, so he simply emptied his mind and didn't think about these incomprehensible questions for the time being.

……

After breakfast the next day, Cen Xiyan went to ask Mrs. Cen to go out of the house for a walk, but Mrs. Cen didn't ask much, so she agreed to her request.

This time, Chang Yingxue stayed in Jinglan Pavilion, and Cen Xiyan went out of the house with Jingshuang.

The one who drove the car was still along, and the guards were still the same two from last time.

When the carriage arrived in the East Market, Cen Xiyan got out of the car with Jingshuang, Shunzi took care of the carriage and horses, and another guard followed, and they walked around the East Market.

I stopped all the way to shop, then I bought some things, and when it was almost noon, I walked to the door of Liuxiangzhai.

Cen Xiyan smiled slightly and said, "I have long heard that this Liuxiangzhai dessert is very famous, let's go in and taste it today, whether the taste is really as good as rumored." ”

Jingshuang bent her eyes and smiled: "That slave is blessed." ”

Usually, Jingshuang and Yingxue would not call themselves "slaves" in front of Cen Xiyan, but when they are outside, it is still natural for them to call themselves like this.

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and then walked towards Liuxiangzhai.

Naturally, the two guards would not have an opinion, and they were a few steps behind and followed behind them.

As soon as the four of them entered the hall, Xiao Er answered, with a smile on his face, and asked, "How many guest officers are there?" ”

Jingshuang did her duty as a big girl, and answered: "Four, however, my young lady likes to be clean, please trouble the second brother to arrange a private room upstairs, and the two big brothers in the back, just arrange a good place for them in the front hall." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er hurriedly agreed.

At this time, the shopkeeper who was planning to plate at the counter heard Jingshuang's clear voice, and his hand movements suddenly paused, and he looked up at the door, and when he saw Cen Xiyan, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and disappeared in an instant.

After that, the shopkeeper came out of the counter and said to the little er: "Cabinet, you take these two strong men to sit by the window, and I will take this young lady upstairs to the private room." ”

Because it was noon at this time, there were many guests, and the little two in the lobby were basically busy, and the guy who called the cabinet was indeed unable to separate, and arranged two tables of guests at the same time, so he nodded and agreed, and raised his hand to fit the two guards to go with him, "Two strong men, please go this way." ”

The two guards looked at Cen Xiyan, and when they saw Cen Xiyan nodding, they followed the little two.

Because of Cen Xiyan's excellent appearance, many guests in the store are indeed quietly looking at her, but the scene of the shopkeeper personally attracting customers does not make people think much about it, just because the business of Liuxiangzhai is booming, and the shopkeeper is too busy to see it, and seeing that Cen Xiyan looks like a good identity, he greeted him in person.

Cen Xiyan followed the shopkeeper until he walked to the third floor, stopped at the door of a private room, opened the door, and said respectfully: "Miss, please come inside." ”

Cen Xiyan walked into the private room with Jingshuang, and the shopkeeper followed in.

After closing the door, the shopkeeper respectfully saluted Cen Xiyan, "Xiao Yan has seen the young master!" ”

Xiao Yan's voice was obviously a little excited, he knew that Cen Xiyan had come to the capital, and he had been thinking about when the young master would come to Liuxiangzhai's branch in the capital, and he finally saw it today.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, long time no see, are you okay?" Cen Xiyan looked at the man in front of him with a heartfelt smile on his face.

Xiao Yan is in his early thirties, although his face is not very good, but he has a very attractive and elegant temperament, and he is also a very attractive man, but he is not so much like a shopkeeper, but more like a reader.

Xiao Yan is in the Yuanyin Gate, but he is a generation younger than Cen Xiyan, and when it comes to it, he should call Cen Xiyan an uncle.

Cen Xiyan is not used to calling a man much older than herself, a nephew, a younger adult than her in the door, and guarding the shop outside, she will call the shopkeeper, and others will directly call their names.

When Xiao Yan heard Cen Xiyan's question, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Young Master Meng is concerned, I'm fine." ”

Jingshuang also smiled and greeted Xiao Yan with a smile.

Cen Xiyan spoke again: "Is Tao Niang here?" ”
