In this flower fair, in the end, Shi Qingqian didn't play particularly crazy. It's just that I couldn't resist Sister Sheng's request, so I could only accompany her to the racecourse to watch people compete and fish.

She didn't forget the eldest lady's entrustment, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to see the situation on Shi Nian's side, but after going to the Qilin Pavilion, she learned that Shi Nian had already left. Just when Shi Qingqian was almost thinking that her eldest brother had wasted another excellent opportunity to choose a mate, she met Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong explained to Shi Qingqian that Shi Nian was pulled to the patio on the third floor to watch the women's poetry club, noticed the poetry of the Cen family girl, and suddenly ran out after the Cen family girl left for some reason, Shi Qingqian also had a point in his heart - either there was a problem with the Cen family's girl's poetry, which made his brother feel that he had to talk about it, or ...... It's the big brother who has an interest in the girl of the Cen family!

When the Cen family first came to Beijing, Shi Qingqian didn't know about it, and when he asked Shen Shu, he also said that he didn't know much about this family. I think that this Cen Xianggong entered the capital at the same time as Mu He's family, that is, he entered the court and served as a Beijing official for a few days.

But the inside story is not easy to know, and general news can always be heard.

Later, Shi Qingqian went out to inquire about the Cen family, only to learn that the Cen family came from Xunyang, and the reputation of this lord Cen Xianggong in Xunyang was not bad, and he did not achieve much in his early years.

When Shi Qingqian heard this, he thought, this Cen family can be regarded as a Qingliu family with a strict family style.

It was already the third day after the end of the flower fair, Shi Nian went to Taixue to do things as usual, and he didn't mention the Cen family's affairs to his family, but he had already been asked a lot of news by Shi Qingqian.

At this time, Shi Qingqian, the eldest lady, the second lady and Xi Manwan were all sitting in the hall, listening to the news that Shi Qingqian inquired about.

"In this way, although the Cen family is an official micro-level, the family style is good?" After Shi Qingqian finished speaking, the second lady leaned over and asked.

Nothing is as important as his son's matter, and at this time, the second lady also let go of her suspicions, listening to Shi Qingqian talk about the news of the Cen family, "Hey, how many concubines and concubines are there in this Cen family?" How many concubines and rooms does he have for Xianggong Cen ? It's not enough to just look at the comments of the people outside, or the ones inside the family can say one, two, or three. ”

Shi Qingqian understood the second lady's worries, although the people's statements could not knock the Cen family to death, but at least it showed that Cen Xianggong was not the traitor. Lewd and predator, she looked at the eldest lady and Xi Manwan beside her, and saw that they were all waiting for her to continue, so she stopped playing tricks:

"Yes, this Cen Xianggong now has a wife and a concubine at home, and there was a concubine in the early years, who said that he was driven out by a stick for fornication with outsiders, and then died on the side of the street. The wife is the second daughter of the original Youyang Zhao family, and her great-grandfather Zhao Xianggong is a minister of the society who has made great contributions, and he deserves to enjoy the treatment of the temple after his death. Although the Zhao family was defeated and retreated, it was also a big family with family roots anyway. ”

"As for the concubine Qian Niang, I heard that the family is in business. The one who died was even more of a good family, she was the daughter of a big family of the Chu family back then, but unfortunately the family was in the middle of the road, so Cen Xianggong took her in. ”

In this way, the home is clean, and it is not a family that can't count the concubines.

The second lady was so anxious that she was about to jump to her feet, so she turned the cup in her hand restlessly and asked, "Then, what about the child?" Which girl did Nian'er fall in love with, and what was her conduct? ”

"Second lady, don't worry, I was about to say," Shi Qingqian breathed in her heart, she was tired enough to inquire about the news, she hadn't said so many words for a long time, and now she felt that her mouth was dry, and she just wanted to eat a bite of fruit to moisten her throat, but it was a pity that the second lady didn't give herself this opportunity.

"There are two girls and three sons in the Cen family, and the eldest daughter's name is Cen Feiyan...... The eldest brother also went to see it that day, and I could be this Feiyan girl. As for the fourth girl, she was born to Chu Xiaoniang, so I haven't heard so much about her......"

"That means that Nian'er has a crush on the eldest sister?"

After asking, the second lady exhaled and said in her heart: Fortunately, this kid didn't fall in love with a concubine.

Shi Qingqian also knows the second lady's thoughts, the eldest brother is young and he is from the third grade, the father of the Cen family has worked hard for most of his life and is still a fifth grade, the second lady was a little disgusted with the Cen family's background at the beginning, fortunately, she is a concubine, if she is a concubine, she will not agree.

But she thinks that the Cen family is still smart, so she has been transferred to Beijing after climbing steadily? Sometimes the position is too high and cannot be said to be absolutely good, and the officialdom is too deep, especially in the capital. It's just that some people always think that they can, so they sharpen their heads and want to wade into troubled waters, but the court is just kind and treacherous, and it is better to be clumsy like the father of the Cen family.

"The second lady can't make up my mind, I haven't been able to see the eldest brother in the past few days, so I haven't asked him if he really wants to the Cen family girl, and which one he is interested in......" After thinking about it, Shi Qingqian still said honestly, "The eldest brother is about to come back, so my mother and the second lady should ask my brother in person......"

Not long after Shi Qingqian's words fell, someone outside said that Shi Nian had come back from Chaoshang, and the second lady was so heartfelt, she asked someone to pull him over regardless of Shi Nian's lack of bathing and changing clothes.

I told Shi Nian about what he had just spoken, but I didn't expect him to have slightly red cheeks - Shi Qingqian knew that this time there was a score.

"The girls and children of the Cen family have paid attention to them, but they are not like what their mother ......said," Shi Nian said with a red face, "It's just that Miss Cen is really talented, and I feel admired when I see it......"

"This, so this is a stroke of eight characters?" The second lady was overjoyed, and got up with a smile, "That's ...... Mother will go to the door to propose to Sister Na Cen! ”

Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't care about being shy, so he hurriedly grabbed the second lady, "Wait!" What eldest sister, the one I took a fancy to that day was the fourth girl of the Cen family! ”

"Four girls?" The second lady was also stunned, and Tong Shi Nian had an expression, "That concubine!?" ”

As soon as the word "concubine" came out, the eldest lady knew what the second lady was going to say, and in order not to be angry, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a concubine or a concubine, the kind of treating concubines well and treating concubines slowly is not something that our Hou Mansion has done - it's the eldest brother, you can tell us about the fourth girl Cen Si, you said that I and your mother can help you." Maybe you're mistaken? ”
