The location of Jinglan Pavilion is very remote in Cen Mansion, and it is necessary to go to Furong Garden, where the old lady lives, but it is not a short road.

Cen Xiyan felt a little strange in her heart, her mother with this body lived in such a remote yard before her death, it is said that she should have been an out-of-fashion concubine who was not very favored during her lifetime, but the layout of the courtyard was elegant, although the products could not be said to be the most expensive and luxurious, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were all good things, and they were all tasteful.

Also, it has been more than ten years since Gu Tinglan died, and she has also left the Cen Mansion for ten years, but there is no sign of dilapidation in the Jinglan Pavilion, and those furnishings are almost exactly the same as the memory in her mind, obviously someone has told the people who cleaned the Jinglan Pavilion to take care of the courtyard carefully, and also warned some people in the mansion not to pay attention to the Jinglan Pavilion, otherwise, it is impossible to keep it so intact for ten years.

Who is that careful account? It should be her father Cen Biao, right? Apart from him, Cen Xiyan couldn't think of anyone else in this Hou Mansion who would do such a thing.

In this way, Ting Lan was not reluctant to be reluctant during his lifetime?

Cen Xiyan remembered that four years ago, Cen Biao passed by Qingyuan Town, and casually went to the other courtyard to see her, in order to cover the property of Yuanyinmen, she asked about Gu Tinglan's life at that time, and vaguely mentioned the dowry of her mother, Cen Biao looked at her at that time...... It's complicated! She couldn't figure out what kind of emotion was expressed in that complicated look.

Cen Wei later sent someone to send the fine, soft, land deeds, shop account books and other things, saying that it was the dowry left by her mother, which also surprised her, and it is no exaggeration to say that the dowry left by her mother Gu Tinglan is so rich that I am afraid that even many high-ranking concubines in this Sheng'an City cannot compare.

What is her mother's identity? This Cen Biao did not say. But with such a dowry, she must not be the daughter of a small family, right? The daughter of a wealthy merchant? It's not like, those dowries also include some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, as well as some ancient books, rubbings and other things, but I want to be a scholarly lady, but if this is the case, why was he willing to marry into the Cen Mansion as a concubine?

For love? Cen Xiyan tried to recall the vague memories in his mind, but he remembered a mother's gentle love for her daughter, his father Cen Biao didn't go to Jinglan Pavilion often, every time he went, he just sat quietly for a while and left, never staying overnight in Jinglan Pavilion......

Wait, never stay overnight?! Cen Xiyan's heart suddenly moved!

Without waiting for Cen Xiyan to think about it any more, Furong Garden had already arrived, and as soon as the three of them entered the moon gate of the courtyard, a mother-in-law at the door of the house saw them, and without saying hello, she turned around and went into the house to spread the word.

Cen Xiyan's expression did not change, and he continued to walk in with the two girls, and when he was about to reach the door of the room, Chun Tao came out of it and greeted him with a smile, "Sixth Miss, you are here, Master Hou and several ladies, young masters, and young ladies are almost here, they are all inside, Miss Six, come in." ”

Chun Tao laughed while talking, and walked in with Cen Xiyan, followed by Jingshuang and Yingxue.

Entering the house, first of all, there is an outer hall, in addition to a few or standing or busy maids, mothers-in-law, there is no master, there is a garden gate separated by a bead curtain in front of it, there is an inner hall inside, at this moment, in the same room, there are bursts of laughter and laughter, obviously, has arrived at the Cen Mansion masters, are in the Cen old lady to talk to it.

Chun Tao said inside: "Old lady, Miss Six is here." ”

Inside, an old but gentle voice said, "Oh? The six girls are here, come in and let me see. ”

Chun Tao helped Cen Xiyan pick up the bead curtain, Cen Xiyan took the two girls into the inner hall, raised his eyes, and saw that on the soft couch in the middle of the front, there was an old lady who was dressed rich and graceful, the old lady's hair was half white, and she was about sixty years old, but she had a ruddy complexion, her eyes were bright, she looked very well maintained, and she was very energetic. No wonder the Cen family has handsome men and beautiful women.

Under the old lady's hand, there was a handsome uncle who was forty-six or seventeen years old, with sharp eyes and a majestic face, Cen Xiyan recognized that this was her cheap father with this body, the head of the Cen family, the loyal and brave Marquis Cen Wei! Speaking of which, she has traveled to this time and space for ten years, and the number of times she has seen Cen Biao has not even counted one hand......

Entering the house from Cen Xiyan, all kinds of eyes of everyone in the house also fell on her, the girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, slim and elegant, with a delicate and beautiful face, not inferior to any young lady in Cen Mansion, with an apricot yellow short shirt on her upper body, a long green skirt on her lower body, a jasper hairpin in her hair, a pair of round bean-like jasper ear beads on her ears, up and down her body, and no other ornaments. The most especially her indifferent and introverted temperament actually gives people a sense of stability and tranquility beyond her age!

There were a few people in the house who shook their heads slightly, these six girls have been in the countryside for ten years, how did they develop such a charm? Is the landscape of Qingyuan Town really so beautiful and so nurturing? Or, is this their delusion?

Looking at each other, it was just a matter of a moment, except for Cen Lao Taijun and Cen Wei, the others, Cen Xiyan did not look at them one by one, she smiled, stepped forward, and saluted Cen Lao Taijun and Cen Wei, "The granddaughter has seen her grandmother, please say hello to her grandmother, and the daughter has seen her father, and her father is fine." ”

"Hmm." Cen Wei nodded, glanced at Cen Xiyan carefully, and didn't say anything, but his expression was in a trance for a moment, fleeting.

Old Mrs. Cen smiled and beckoned to Cen Xiyan, "The six girls are so big, come here, let grandmother take a good look." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Cen Xiyan took two more steps, and when she came to the old lady's approach, the old lady looked at Cen Xiyan carefully, pulled her to sit beside her, and said a few words, mostly feeling that she was so big in a blink of an eye, and asked a few words about how life was in Qingyuan Town.

In fact, Cen Xiyan knew that Cen Quan and his wife would regularly send her news in Qingyuan Town to the capital, picking out what they could say, and at this time, Cen Taijun's questioning was just to show her grandmother's concern for her granddaughter on the surface, and if she wanted to say how much she loved her granddaughter, it was not necessarily, after all, she didn't grow up in the house since she was a child, that is, she had seen her grandmother a few times when she was a child, and she was also a concubine, and she had a bad reputation for her relatives, so what about relatives? The family of the powerful of the Gaomen is indifferent, and there are few people in this house who really care about her......
