Chapter 742: Cen Mansion (1)
A few days later, Shi Qingqian took Shen Shu's post to Cen Mansion.
I thought that she would invite the people of the Cen family to come over under the pretext of Yao'er's 100-day banquet, but since Shen Shu generously took out her own greeting post, she thought that she didn't have to go around that long bend.
There is also a lot of news from the Cen Mansion.
"Big girl, come, let's eat some freshly made soup from the kitchen." Caidie in the eldest girl's courtyard brought a bowl of steaming soup and gently placed it on the table next to her, "Liulang from Xu Dusi's house is drinking tea and waiting in the hall...... The master, the master said to let the slave and maid urge the girl. β
Cen Feiyan was sitting in front of the dressing table looking at herself in the mirror, surrounded by three or five maids behind her, either helping to fill in her eyebrows or helping to tie her hair, don't look at her as just a concubine of a five-grade official family, but her style is even bigger than the concubine of the Hou Mansion.
"Daddy just doesn't understand, then the Xu family is interested in getting to know me, and they won't dare to embarrass me in the future when I have a higher shelf!" Cen Feiyan didn't even glance at the colorful butterfly, and snorted coldly, only then did she remember the things that were pressing in her mind: "By the way, Caidie, didn't you say it a few days ago...... Have you always seen the faces of the Hou Mansion these days? What the hell is going on? β
Shi Qingqian sent someone out to find out the news, which would inevitably alarm the people in the Cen Mansion, and Cen Xianggong was still in a panic for a long time after noticing this, for fear that he would be targeted when he first came to Beijing. Later, when I asked if it was the Hou Mansion who was inquiring about their news, I felt less uneasy in my heart.
After all, Cen Xianggong also knew that Shi Yuan had always been generous and benevolent, and the Hou Mansion might not have come to inquire secretly because of something else.
When these words reached Cen Feiyan's ears, it became a different look - since she won the first prize in the poem of the Flower Fair that day, there have been many rich and noble families who have thrown an olive branch to Cen Xianggong in these days.
After all, who doesn't want their children to marry a talented and gorgeous woman to come back and be a big lady? What's more, she was born in a five-grade family and has been a clean official for generations, so she will not be unworthy of anyone. In the past few days, Cen Feiyan has been floating very much, so that she is so powerful that now the sons of Xu Dusi's family dare to hang them at will.
Cen Xianggong was naturally happy to see that many people were rushing to his daughter, but Cen Feiyan was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, and just wanted to wait for the best husband.
"Ouch, feed my swallow! Why are you still picking up here! β
Outside the door walked in a gracefully dressed woman, with long sleeves and a pink dress. The head was tired and full of jewelry, and as soon as the lady came in, she snatched the jewelry hairpin from the hand of the envoy, "My God! Yan'er, you can really grind, you have been refusing to go out, and the Xu family's face is a little unbearable! With your good and talented appearance, who would marry an arrogant and rude lady! β
"Mother! You're really making a fuss," Cen Feiyan frowned and glanced at Mrs. Cen unpleasantly, "If he can't wait, he will ruin his good marriage, hum...... Besides, the Xu family is just a capital division, what can a military attache with a positive fourth grade do? What about his five sons, what can Xu Liulang do......"
"Then a martial artist came to pay a visit, and you avoided it?" Mrs. Cen slapped her and scolded lightly, "The martial family is a civil official family, and now the head of the family is still the Zhengsanpin Fu Yin, you are good, you don't want to go out to meet the eldest man in his family!" β
Cen Feiyan impatiently took back the hairpin on her head and reinserted it on her head, "Their eldest son is old, and the main room is dead, even if the daughter is married, it is a continuation, and the mother has also seen it, their eldest man looks worse than a yam, mother, are you willing to let your daughter marry that kind of person?" β
Her daughter's heart is higher than the sky, how could Mrs. Cen not know?
But now it seems that her daughter is also a well-known good girl in the capital, and there are not many people who come to greet Cen Xianggong but want to win over the girl, so Mrs. Cen is relieved, and she also wants to ask her daughter to choose a better husband.
The mother and daughter were chatting here, and suddenly a little maid broke in from outside, with a smile on her face: "Madam! Girl! There is a Hou Mansion in front, and the lord asks the girl to come over quickly! β
"Hou, Hou's Mansion!?"
β¦β¦
Shi Qingqian entered the door with the post, presumably Cen Xianggong had never befriended a high-level person, and as soon as he heard that the person who came was holding a post from Shen Xiaowangye, he rushed out to greet him. When she saw that it was Princess Yan instead of the little prince, a disappointment did flash on her face, but it quickly turned into relief, and she was welcomed into the hall with several thoughtful manners.
"The official is busy with affairs, and I have long heard that Lord Cen is the safest person, thinking that you are not familiar with you when you have just entered the capital, so you asked me to come and walk around," Shi Qingqian walked inside with Cen Xianggong and said, "My daughter doesn't understand any reason, so Lord Cen should not dislike it." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, Princess Yan has already given up her buds when she came...... Magpie! Go and present the princess with a small dragon group! Lord Cen had been half-bent when he spoke, but he was first-class and submissive.
The two walked to the front of the living room together, and before Shi Qingqian could raise her feet to enter the door, she saw that there was still a person sitting inside, and her face was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen it for a while, "Huh?" Is there a guest at Lady Cen's house? Looks like I'm not here at the right time. β
"No, no, no, since you're here, where is the reason to drive people away?" As if he was afraid that Shi Qingqian would turn around and leave, Cen Xianggong was busy, stretched out his hand and led Xu Dusi, who had already gotten up, to the two of them and said, "Princess Yan, this adult is Xu Dusi, Xu Dusi-this is Princess Yan in Shen Xiaowangye's mansion." β
Only then did Shi Qingqian remember that he had seen this person at the palace banquet before, so he bowed to his armrest.
"Princess Yan...... What is this for? β
Then Xu Dusi's eyes rolled, could it be that Princess Yan also came to ask for the eldest sister of the Cen family for others? But for whom? If you come for Shen Xiaowangye, then you want to take a concubine, a five-grade petty official in Cen Mansion, even if the concubine goes to King Yan's mansion to be a side concubine or concubine...... It's not a grievance. However, if they came for the Hou Mansion, their own small Dusi Mansion might not be able to compare to them......
Xu Dusi rolled his eyes, if those unpromising people in his own family could marry the well-informed daughter of Cen Mansion, it would be their military attachΓ© family with the blood of the Qingliu Wen family......
No, he has to stare at this Shi Qingqian today!
