Chapter 167: To Each His Own Mind

The people in the house have all come, the people who should be recognized, Cen Xiyan has already recognized them all, and everyone can't help but say a few more greetings, regardless of whether it is true or false, everyone will do it on the face, and it is very smooth, even Cen Xiyan is no exception, although she is a little impatient in her heart, on the surface, she is very generous and elegant, and she smiles decently, so that people can't make mistakes.

Some people in the mansion looked at Cen Xiyan's temperament that was not lost at all compared to the nobles who grew up in Sheng'an, and they were more and more surprised in their hearts, these six girls were a little too big a gap with the country girls they imagined who had never seen the world!

In fact, Cen Xiyan originally planned to pretend to be low-key and not let the house pay too much attention to her, but after experiencing last night's dinner incident, she changed her attention, she had just entered the mansion, and she didn't even see the faces of the masters in the mansion, so someone gave her a horse, so she pretended to be low-key in the future and lowered her sense of existence, so no one really paid attention to her? Apparently impossible! Someone is hostile to her, this is an obvious thing, if she behaves again, I am afraid that she will be trampled into the mud in the future!

She is not a person who will endure other people's calculations, and those intrigues in the mansion door also make her particularly disgusted and impatient, in this case, it is better to be strong from the beginning, so that the people in the mansion dare not provoke her, so that she can live a stable life in the mansion.

Moreover, when she returned to the Cen Mansion, she didn't plan to be old, and the elders in the house picked a suitable person to go out and give the Cen family a tool for marriage, she had to fight for her right to speak in front of the elders, so that the elders would pay attention to her opinions, so that she could better plan for her future!

Chun Tao saw that it was not early, so she asked Mrs. Cen in a low voice if she wanted to set up a meal, Mrs. Cen nodded, ordered someone to set up a meal in the outer hall, and everyone moved to the outer hall.

The banquet was divided into four tables, Cen Biao and the eldest lady Li accompanied Cen Taijun to a table, and the eldest great-grandson Cen Mingyu was also left behind and followed Cen Laotaijun to a table.

Zhao took several aunts from the big room and the second room to a table, although she was sitting in the first seat, Cen Xiyan still noticed that the smile on Zhao's face was stiff for a moment.

The table of several unmarried ladies is headed by the seventh lady Cen Xiqin.

At the men's table, because the eldest son of the second room, Cen Hongqi, was not in the house, there were only four people.

Cen Xiyan originally planned to sit at the table of a few girls, but he didn't want to, but he was stopped by Mrs. Cen, "Six girls, come, sit next to grandmother." ”

Old Mrs. Cen's words made the originally lively scene quiet down for a moment! Everyone looked at Old Taijun Cen and Cen Xiyan with surprise and surprise, and of course, among them, there would be no less jealous eyes.

People who are not hostile to Cen Xiyan are surprised that the old lady attaches great importance to this granddaughter who has just returned home, and some people who have no good impression of Cen Xiyan are very red and unwilling in their hearts, a concubine who grew up in the countryside, and still has the reputation of being a relative, why is she sitting there!

At the table of the young ladies, the eighth lady Cen Xifen was the most uncontrollable, her face turned pale with anger, she looked at Cen Xiyan angrily, looking at the posture, as if she wanted to stand up immediately and theorize. She's the daughter of the second room! Grandmother usually loves her so much, she didn't let her eat at the same table, that Cen Xiyan, a wild girl who just came back, is still a concubine, not only won the grandmother's reward, but also let her eat at the same table, what qualifications does she have!

The fourth young lady Cen Xihan sat next to Cen Xifen, and when she saw Cen Xifen's face, she quietly pulled her under the table.

Don't look at Cen Xihan is also a concubine, but because her mother Zhao has a good background, she is still in power in the inner house, and her status is special, Cen Xihan herself is talented and outstanding, and she is very famous in the circle of noble daughters in Sheng'an, so among the young ladies in Cen Mansion, she is very prestigious, at least the eighth lady Cen Xifen listens to this cousin very much.

Cen Xifen glanced at Cen Xihan, and when she saw her shaking her head slightly, she suppressed the anger in her heart and did not attack.

Cen Xiyan saw everyone's expressions and small movements in his eyes, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, grandmother." After that, he generously sat down at Mrs. Cen's table.

Mrs. Cen really likes and values this granddaughter like this? Not necessarily, this is making enemies for her! Cen Xiyan thinks that this old lady is more likely to want to see her reaction after being ostracized, so as to measure her value, right? It doesn't matter, she will let the old lady see her value, there is value, only then can she have the bargaining chips to negotiate the conditions.

This breakfast is quite rich, and the dinner that Cen Xiyan, Jingshuang, and Yingxue ate last night, it is really different from heaven and earth, many dishes, ordinary people don't say they haven't eaten, I'm afraid they haven't seen it, they haven't heard of it, if Cen Xiyan is really a country girl who has never seen the world, looking at the exquisite delicacies on this table, it is estimated that she will be dumbfounded, and she doesn't even know how to put down chopsticks.

Some people, looking at the dishes on the table and Cen Xiyan, hooked the corners of their lips, and their eyes flashed with a little expectation.

Cen Xiyan accepted those ill-intentioned glances, and sighed helplessly in his heart, the various calculations and battles in the inner house of the high gate are really ridiculous and naΓ―ve! Even having a meal, I have my own thoughts, it's boring! However, those who expected her to eat out of honor were doomed to disappointment.

At the main table, several big maids waited for the old lady to move the chopsticks, and the others also picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

In this hall, the masters and the servants are dozens of people, but they are silent, the sound of bowls and chopsticks touching and chewing is difficult to hear, even the youngest Cen Mingyu eats in a proper manner, silently.

Of course, Cen Xiyan has attracted the most attention, and I saw that the standard of etiquette for her dining was not bad at all compared to the young ladies who grew up in the mansion! And the elegance and decency that comes out of the bones, anyone can see that it is not pretended, it is cultivated since childhood!

Some people are relieved, some people are hopeless, and some people can't help but think in their hearts, these six girls were four years old when they left the house, could it be that she has not forgotten some of the living habits and etiquette she developed in the house before?

After breakfast, Mrs. Cen looked at Cen Xiyan's gaze, and it was a little different.

Cen Biao still had something to deal with, so he left after dinner, and several other young masters of the Hongzi generation also left one after another, but Cen Lao Taijun did not let the ladies leave, let them accompany them, and talked about some family things.

"Six girls, you just came back, eat and live, are you still used to it?" Mrs. Cen asked with a loving face.

Cen Xiyan replied with a smile: "Thank you grandmother for your concern, everything is fine, my granddaughter used to live in Jinglan Pavilion, so she was naturally used to it, and the meals were also very delicate and delicious, and the fried tofu and radish were made very authentic, and the taste was very good." ”

Hearing the names of the two dishes suddenly spoken in Cen Xiyan's mouth, someone suddenly changed his face! ――

ps: Rest assured, the tone of this article is by no means a house fight, and the open and dark fighting scenes in the inner house will not account for a large proportion.
