Cen Hongmian saw that Cen Xiyan's performance was not bad. Although it was expected, he was secretly relieved. After getting along with him all the way back to Beijing, he really admired this sixth sister. She was not very old.

But she is neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and intelligent. Although she grew up in the countryside, she does not show any signs of being petty. Compared with other sisters in the house, she is more friendly and comfortable to get along with.

Cen Hongmian smiled at Cen Xiyan and blinked. Cen Xiyan smiled back, then turned away and listened intently to what Mrs. Cen said.

From the look of Mrs. Cen, it seemed that she had no intention of letting her recognize him for the time being. Cen Xiyan was not in a hurry, so he concentrated on answering the old lady's words and stopped looking elsewhere.

Jingshuang and Yingxue followed Cen Xiyan as early as when she was unloading her luggage, and then quietly retreated to the corner. They tried to reduce their presence as much as possible, but in fact they were quietly

Observe these people in the room.

Mrs. Cen and Cen Xiyan's ancestors and grandsons only exchanged a few words, and soon, two more groups of people came.

One is a lady in plain clothes and a plain face. She is about forty years old. She looks very dignified and beautiful, but her temperament is too cold. Her beautiful face has almost no expression, as if she is wearing a mask, not letting out any emotion.

When the woman came in, Cen Xiyan heard a servant outside saying that the eldest lady was here, and she knew that this was her father Cen Ao's wife, Mrs. Li.

From the information that Yue Yue gave to Cen Xiyan, Cen Xiyan knew that the eldest lady of the Cen Mansion, Mrs. Li, had been worshiping Buddha behind closed doors for many years. She usually only recited scriptures behind closed doors in her own yard, copied scriptures, rarely went out, and did not care about anything.

, the identity of the mistress of the Cen Mansion has almost become a decoration.

She saluted Mrs. Cen and said hello, and then without even looking at Cen Ao, she walked straight to her own place and sat down, like a statue, with her eyes lowered and silent.

The people in the Cen Mansion were obviously used to Mrs. Li's behavior. The girl served her tea and quietly stood back.

Just as Cen Xiyan was thinking about whether to stand up and pay his respects to Madam Li, another person came in from outside. He was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was fair-skinned, handsome, and elegant, but his peach blossom eyes were shining brightly.

He looks a little frivolous, his soles are weak when walking, and his lower body is unstable, so he probably doesn't have good martial arts skills.

Most of the men in the Cen family practiced martial arts and took the road of military attachés. Cen Hongmian was the only exception. He found his way to the civil service career. Looking at the man in front of him who looked like a playboy, Cen Xiyan thought for a moment.

, then we knew that this should be the fourth young master Cen Hongyu, the most useless of Cen Ao’s three sons!

Sure enough, when Cen Ao saw Cen Hongyu come in, he frowned involuntarily and stared at him sharply. Cen Hongyu trembled with fright. Like a mouse seeing a cat, he hurriedly greeted the old lady and Cen Ao, and then he behaved obediently.

Stepped aside.

At this time, Mrs. Cen suddenly smiled and took off a translucent green bracelet from her wrist, took Cen Xiyan's hand, and put it on her wrist.

Cen Xiyan thought that her wrist was close to her elbow, and she also wore an enamel bracelet that she had kept with her since she was a child. That thing seemed to be the key to her time travel, but she had never understood it. For so many years, she had never let anyone touch it.

Just a bracelet. At this moment, I was afraid of being touched by Mrs. Cen, so I reflexively wanted to shrink my hands.

However, the idea of ​​shrinking her hands only flashed in her mind. Cen Xiyan immediately stabilized herself and did not let herself escape. The old lady successfully put the jade bracelet on her wrist, because the position of the set was low and did not allow herself to escape.

I didn't see the enamel bracelet hidden in my sleeve.

The old lady's behavior made several ladies and young ladies present change their expressions. Cen Xiyan noticed that some people stared hard at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Grandma, this is too expensive..." Cen Xiyan said. Cen Xiyan is a good judge of goods. This bracelet is a top-quality Laokeng glass emerald, and it is still quite old!

She was really surprised that Mrs. Cen would give her such an expensive meeting gift.

Not only Cen Xiyan was surprised, but many people present were also surprised. The old lady’s personal maid, Xia He, opened her mouth in surprise and then tried to close it. Earlier, the old lady clearly only needed to

A golden walking stick was given to Miss Six as a meeting gift. She was asked to keep it and put it in the box behind her. Why did the old lady suddenly change her mind?!

"Liu Yatou, I've suffered a lot from you all these years. Now that I'm back, don't see me outside. All your relatives are in this house. This bracelet is just a gift from me, the grandmother, to my granddaughter.

Just keep it with peace of mind." Mrs. Cen took Cen Xiyan's hand, her tone was very friendly, her face was very kind, just like an ordinary grandmother who truly loved her granddaughter.

"Granddaughter, thank you grandma for the generous reward." Cen Xiyan smiled affectionately and accepted the bracelet generously.

She doesn't show it on the surface, and is generous and calm, but in fact, she has secretly sounded the alarm! She doesn't think that Mrs. Cen behaves like this because she has caught the old lady's eye, and she really loves her as her granddaughter. If she really loves her,

Will he barely pay attention to her for ten years? Women like Mrs. Cen who have lived in a high-class house all their lives have become mature with age. What is this old lady planning? She is

What are you calculating?

"Okay." Mrs. Cen nodded with a smile, and then said: "Sixth girl was still young when she left the house, so many people may not remember it, right? Almost all the people in the house are here now, please recognize her.

Bar."

Cen Xiyan agreed, got up, stood next to each other, recognized the people in the circle, and received a bunch of meeting gifts, because the top-quality jade bracelet that Mrs. Cen gave to Cen Xiyan, naturally others did not dare to give it to him.

The gift was too light, and some people had no choice but to take off hairpins, jade pendants and other items from their bodies because the things they had prepared before were not valuable enough. Cen Xiyan accepted all the items one by one without rejecting anyone who came.

Among them, Madam Li's gift was the most special. It was a string of Venus small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads. They were not picked from her body, but taken from the hands of the first middle-aged maid standing behind her. It seemed that they had been given for a long time.

Ready to download.

After receiving gifts and acknowledging people, Cen Xiyan finally matched the personal information about the Cen family in the information Yueguang gave her.

The Cen family has developed over several generations and has many branches. However, in this generation, there are only three branches in the direct line. Cen Ao is the eldest son in the direct line and inherits the title. Naturally, his wife, sons and daughters are all from the first branch. Those present now
