Chapter 522: The Empress Dowager's Decree (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Cen Biao listened to the report of his subordinates, and hurriedly took his eldest son Cen Hongyi and his second son Cen Hongmian to welcome them out.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a white and speechless face, and it was not difficult to see from his demeanor and voice that this was a eunuch.
When Cen Biao saw the person coming, he said, "It turned out to be Manager Yu!" Please be in the manager! ”
Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian also greeted the chief manager one after another.
The manager returned the salute, and then said in a thin voice: "No, our family is just following the order of the Queen Mother, come over and pass a word, stay for a while, Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Hou will enter the palace, don't forget to bring the six girls in the house to the palace." ”
Cen Biao was stunned when he heard this, "The Queen Mother sent a decree to let my six girls enter the palace??" ”
"yes." Manager Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother heard that the sixth lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion has been away from the house for ten years, and now she has just returned to Beijing, and she has been thinking about seeing the sixth lady, especially in the recent period, the Queen Mother has heard a lot of people say that the sixth lady of the noble lady is very beautiful, and her courage is also outstanding, and her talent is even better. Let Miss Cen Liu also be brought into the palace and let the Queen Mother take a look. ”
Cen Biao listened to Chief Manager Yu's words, and it was the Queen Mother's decree, so she naturally couldn't refuse, so she quickly nodded and responded: "The Queen Mother wants to see Xiyan, that is her convincing, the old minister will let her prepare well, and let her enter the palace with her mother and wife later." ”
In fact, Cen Biao faintly felt in his heart that the Queen Mother wanted to see Cen Xiyan, I was afraid that it would not be so simple, but at this time, no matter how confused he was in his heart, he couldn't ask anything more, so he could only respond.
"Okay, our family has already passed on the message of the Queen Mother, and we are going back, it's cold outside, so the Hou Ye and the two sons should also go in."
After that, he didn't even enter the gate of Cen Mansion, so he planned to get in the car and go back.
Cen Biao couldn't help but say, "Why don't you come into the house, drink a cup of hot tea, and warm up?" ”
"Nope." Manager Yu waved his hand at Cen Biao and refused: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are still many things in the palace, and our family has to hurry up to work, so we won't bother you." ”
Hearing what the general manager said, Cen Biao also knew that the palace would be very busy today, so it was not easy to open his mouth to keep it, so he hurriedly rushed to the carriage and said, "The public walks slowly." ”
Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian also gave their hands to the carriage.
Cen Biao and Manager Yu had a conversation, Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian almost didn't interject except for the ceremony, but in fact, the two of them were also very puzzled, why did the Queen Mother suddenly want to see the sixth sister?
said that the Queen Mother had heard Cen Xiyan's name, so she wanted to see her, but they naturally didn't believe it.
How many noble girls in the capital are known as talented women? The queen mother didn't look at the noble girl of the family differently because of this! The sixth sister only wrote two poems, which made the Queen Mother interested in her? How is this possible!
Moreover, the sixth sister is still a concubine!
The two of them were puzzled, but they didn't say anything, and when the father and son returned to Furong Garden, Old Taijun Cen had already woken up.
Seeing that their father and son came back, the old lady couldn't help but look at Cen Biao and asked, "Someone came to the palace at this time, but did something happen?" ”
Cen Biao replied: "Mother, nothing happened. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Cen Xiyan, and then continued: "It's the Queen Mother who asked her to pass the word and let your wife take Xiyan into the palace today." ”――
