Chapter 257: Cheap Father
Cen Xiqin took the internal strength method, he was satisfied, and at dinner, he ate quickly and filled his stomach, so he hurried away, and couldn't wait to go back to practice.
Yingxue looked at most of the dishes left on the table, and felt that Cen Xiqin was particularly abnormal today, in the past, half of these dishes would go into Miss Seven's stomach......
Not to mention how Cen Xiqin went back to study and practice the inner strength method, not long after dinner, Cen Biao actually sent someone to send a message to see Cen Xiyan.
It has been several days since Cen Xiyan returned to Cen Mansion in the capital, and he has not seen him again except for the morning after he came back, when he saw Cen Biao once at the family banquet.
For this cheap father, Cen Xiyan has never met him a few times, and of course he has no father-daughter affection for him, but in the few meetings between Cen Xiyan and Cen Biao, he always felt that Cen Biao's attitude towards her was very strange.
It is said that Cen Biao sent her to a remote Zhuangzi and ignored her for ten years, so he should not like her as a concubine.
However, in the past ten years, Cen Biao has been to Qingyuan Town to see her four times, saying that he is passing by, but he is a marquis with a military position, and he is not an official who is released, Qingyuan Town is located in the south-central region, and there is no conflict between the east and the border of the western and southern countries in recent years, what did he do when he passed by Qingyuan Town?
Every time Cen Biao went to see her, she didn't talk much, but she didn't bring less things, more of them were some popular gadgets in Sheng'an City, new colors of silk and satin clothes, etc., and she would leave a lot of silver money to give her body, look at the things she prepared, but she was very careful.
Also, in order to cover the business of Yuan Yinmen, Cen Xiyan asked Cen Biao for the shop and land left by his biological mother, and Cen Biao gave it without hesitation.
Looking at his several performances, he looks like a loving father who is majestic on the surface and cares for his daughter in his heart.
However, do you really love her daughter, and will she only see her daughter four times in ten years? At other times, leave it to its own devices? Even in the past few days since she returned to Beijing, she didn't think of her daughter until today?
Perhaps, Cen Wei's previous performances were just out of guilt?
Cen Xiyan couldn't guess Cen Biao's thoughts, so he simply didn't guess, packed up, and took Yingxue to Cen Biao's study.
"Miss Six, you're here." A middle-aged man in his forties, with an ordinary face, but a sturdy figure and a very imposing man, greeted Cen Xiyan with a smile when he saw him.
This is a person named Cen An, and he is Cen Fu's personal entourage. In the Cen family, the subordinates who were given the surname Cen were all domestic slaves who had served the Cen family master for several generations, and the older generation must be the Cen family's henchmen.
"Hmm." Cen Xiyan nodded and smiled at the man, "Uncle An, where is my father inside?" ”
"Yes, Miss Six, go in, Master Hou is waiting for you." Cen An said as he helped Cen Xiyan open the door.
Cen Xiyan nodded and walked in, Yingxue stayed outside and waited.
There was a small space outside Cen Wei's study, Cen Xiyan stood still outside, and said respectfully to the inside: "Father, I am Xiyan." ”
Because of his indifferent feelings for Cen Biao's cheap father, Cen Xiyan almost never called him "father", and called him "father" with a respectful attitude, but not close.
"Come in." Inside, there was a majestic voice, and no emotions could be heard.
After Cen Xiyan came in, Cen Biao did not immediately look up at her, but still carefully and seriously rolled the scroll, Cen Xiyan unintentionally glanced at the mounting paper of the scroll, which was a little yellowed, and seemed to be some years.
After rolling up the scroll and seriously putting it in a long sandalwood box on the desk, Cen Biao finally raised his head and looked at Cen Xiyan.
"Xiyan has seen my father." Cen Xiyan's regular salute greetings.
"No need to be polite." Cen Biao glanced at the chair opposite the desk and motioned, "Sit down." ”
"Yes." Cen Xiyan answered, sat down opposite Cen Biao, and then sat quietly, waiting for Cen Biao to speak.
But Cen Biao didn't speak for a long time, just stared at her, his face was majestic, and there was no other expression, but the way he looked at her made Cen Xiyan feel that he was looking at another person through her......
Cen Biao's eyes, Cen Xiyan didn't see it for the first time, and he guessed more than once in his heart, when Cen Biao saw her, did he think of her biological mother with this body, could it be that she looked very similar to her biological mother?
It's just that in the past, Cen Biao looked at her with such eyes, and it would return to normal in an instant, and today staring at her seemed to be a little long, and she didn't say anything for more than a long time.
Cen Xiyan couldn't help but break the silence and asked bluntly, "Is there something wrong with the father calling his daughter?" ”
"Oh." Cen Biao came back to his senses, and became a serious and rigid middle-aged beautiful uncle again, and asked as if he was routine: "How many days have you been in the house, are you still used to eating and living?" ”
Cen Xiyan also replied officially: "Everything is fine, thank you for your father's concern." ”
"If you need anything, I'll mention it to your Aunt Zhao." Cen Biao said again.
Cen Xiyan smiled, "My daughter knows." ”
With Zhao's mention? Just listen to this, on the first day she returned home, Zhao gave her a dismissal, she felt Zhao's hostility towards her, it is said that she is a concubine, Zhao is an aunt, the two have no strong conflict of interest, Zhao's hostility, it really makes her a little inexplicable, is it just to use her to suppress her to show her authority?
Cen Xiyan couldn't figure it out, but he just felt that in this kind of high-door house, many women's brain circuits were not normal! Her current survival principle in the house is: If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if someone provokes, then she will fight back strongly! can make others think that she has a strong temperament and is not easy to bully, but in other aspects, she should be low-key or low-key.
Of course, she won't run to the front of people who are hostile to her without idleness, and she will find herself unhappy.
Seeing the faint smile on Cen Xiyan's face, Cen Biao seemed to have thought of something, and changed his words: "Or it's okay to mention it to your grandmother, your grandmother...... She still likes you a lot. ”
Cen Xiyan didn't say much, it was still those four words, "My daughter knows." ”
Cen Biao paused, and then said, "I heard...... You had an unpleasant fall out with Xifen? ”
Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, in this kind of high-door mansion, there is generally an unwritten rule, how do the women in the back house fight and make trouble, as long as there are no very serious consequences, men will not ask, Cen Biao, as the head of the Cen family, is the loyal and brave marquis of the dynasty? I even asked about the contradiction between the two little girls in the back house?
