Chapter 521: Someone from the Palace
Mother Feng followed Zhao's side, stopped talking for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "Madam, you...... He gave the king a lot of silver, right? ”
Mother Feng is the most trusted confidant of the Zhao family, and when she heard this, she didn't hide it from Mother Feng, and said in a low voice: "I took him two thousand taels." ”
Mother Feng frowned and sighed: "That's a lot of money...... paused for a moment, and then persuaded: "Madam! Although the old slave should not be nosy, he still wants to persuade his wife...... In the future, you should give Lord Wang less money, in case you are in charge of the money in the public office, if the old lady or the eldest lady finds out......"
Later, Feng's mother didn't say anything, but I believe that the Zhao family must know the consequences of being discovered.
"Do you think I'm willing to fill him with a lot of silver?" Zhao also frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't help it!" Besides, I'm afraid there will be a lot of places where I can use him in the future......"
Zhao snorted coldly in his heart, that dead man is really getting more and more greedy!
When Mother Feng heard this, she sighed and didn't say anything more.
The two walked to the big kitchen, Zhao didn't go in, and Feng's mother went in.
The Zhao family was alone, walking in the direction of Furong Garden.
Cen Xiyan saw that there was nothing to listen to, so he secretly overtook the Zhao family and returned to Furong Garden in advance.
Jingshuang had already folded a plum blossom, and was waiting for Cen Xiyan in the dark not far from the entrance of Furong Garden.
Seeing Cen Xiyan coming back, Jingshuang hurriedly walked out of the shadows, came to her side, and whispered, "Miss, are you back......?"
"Well, let's go inside." Cen Xiyan nodded, and pulled Jingshuang into the house.
At the door of the room, Cen Xiyan and Jingshuang's master and servant met Cen Xiqin, who was about to come out to find them.
Cen Xiqin glanced at the fresh plum blossoms in Jingshuang's hand, and couldn't help asking, "Sixth sister, why have you broken branches and flowers for so long!" I'm going to look for you in the backyard. ”
Cen Xiyan smiled and said: "This flower branch is going to be left for grandmother to insert a bottle, so I picked it carefully, how about it?" This flower is pretty, isn't it? ”
When Cen Xiqin heard this, he looked at the plum blossoms in Jingshuang's hand again, and the choice was indeed good, with beautiful flower branches and many buds, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's pretty good." ”
The two sisters entered the house, and Dongmei, the eldest girl in the old lady's room, greeted her, stretched out her hand to take the plum blossom in Jingshuang's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Six has a heart, and the old lady likes plum blossoms very much." So he went to find the vase and put the plum blossom up.
There was not much time, and Zhao also came back, followed by Feng's mother and a few maids with food boxes.
Cen Xiyan remembered that the Zhao family was separated from Feng's mother and came back first, and at this time, they actually went back to Furong Garden together?
Cen Xiyan thought about it for a while, and then figured out the key, the Zhao family was guarding the big kitchen for a while, and then went to see the adulterer, the time interval in between was not too long, she was afraid that if she returned to the big kitchen for the second time, the people in the kitchen would be suspicious, right?
And after she left Furong Garden, the total delay was not short, and she was afraid that if she came back empty-handed alone, the Cen family in the house would be suspicious.
Therefore, she came back early first, waited at the gate of Furong Garden for a while, and waited for Mother Feng to bring someone over with ginseng soup, she made it look like she was going out to greet them, and then came back with Mother Feng and these maids who sent ginseng soup.
As long as there is no suspicion on both sides, no one will have time to investigate the problem of time difference.
Cen Xiyan sighed secretly, Zhao's woman is really deep in her thoughts.
After Zhao entered the house, he hurriedly asked the maids to put down the food box, brought out the ginseng soup, and let people send it to the masters in the house one by one.
Of course, Cen Biao and Li's ginseng soup was served by Zhao himself.
Li glanced at Zhao lightly, didn't say anything, took the ginseng soup, didn't drink it, and put it aside casually.
When Zhao saw this, he smiled a little stiffly, but he didn't pretend to persuade Li to drink soup.
In this way, it seems that the Li family is a little out of measure.
Cen Wei couldn't help but glance at Li, frowning slightly, and looking slightly dissatisfied.
Li didn't seem to see Cen Wei's face, his face was indifferent, peeling oranges and feeding his little grandson Cen Mingyu in his arms.
Cen Biao's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, just turned his head and drank the ginseng soup handed over by Zhao.
After putting down the soup bowl, Cen Biao nodded to Zhao and said, "This soup is good, thank you for your hard work." ”
Zhao's face suddenly showed a touched joy, and he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't say that, these are what I should do, how can it be considered hard!" ”
Others didn't seem to see the undercurrent between Cen Wei, Li, and Zhao, and they still played chess and drank soup.
Only Cen Xiqin was dissatisfied with his father's snub to his mother, and he didn't like Zhao's behavior, so he couldn't help but let out a soft cold snort in his nose.
And Cen Xiyan, looking at the interaction between Cen Biao and the Zhao family, and then thinking of the green hat on Cen Biao's head, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth speechlessly.
Cen Xiyan doesn't have much father-daughter affection for Cen Qiu, a cheap father, after all, she has not seen it a few times in the ten years since she traveled to this time and space, and she still carries the memories of her previous life, and her affection for her parents in her previous life has been integrated into the depths of her soul, and it is difficult for her to have any parental affection for others.
If Cen Biao is a good man and a good father, he may gain her respect, and after getting along for a long time, he may slowly turn into family affection.
But in fact, Cen Biao has married so many women, and he has not seen much affection for his women and children, in Cen Xiyan's eyes, he is a representative of a scumbag!
Although in this time and space, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it is normal to be majestic in front of his children and communicate less, but Cen Xiyan just can't respect such a man as his elders.
But despite this, he is also the nominal father of her body, and when he heard with his own ears that this father's concubine gave him a green hat, Cen Xiyan was still extremely awkward in his heart!
Cen Xiyan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, should he expose the Zhao family's stealing of people?
Especially when I heard Zhao and the man named Ah Jian mention themselves, it seems that Miss Cen Liu back then, the matter of falling off the cliff was not so simple!
If this woman really did something, she didn't want to let this insidious and vicious woman have a better time!
Of course, if you want to expose, you can't just open your mouth and say that you have to have conclusive evidence......
Cen Xiyan thought about the bloody adultery he bumped into tonight, and pondered the countermeasures in his heart, and time passed unconsciously......
Just after the fourth watch, a subordinate ran in from outside and reported to Cen Weiyu: "Master Hou, someone is in the palace!" ”
