Chapter 145 Reserved
Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan had already prepared a guest room and hot water for Brother Wei San. When the two brothers went to freshen up and rest, Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiyan finally had a chance to talk alone.
Cen Hongmian looked at Cen Xiyan and hesitated to speak. He really had too many questions in his heart, but at the moment he didn't know where to start, or in other words, he couldn't speak.
Cen Xiyan has been kept free in this small town for ten years. Apart from some supplies sent by the Cen family every year, she really has no other protection from the Cen family. Now asking about her life in these years seems too deliberate.
It's a little too late.
Seeing Cen Hongmian's expression, Cen Xiyan knew what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to say: "Four years ago, when my father came to see me, he handed over some of my mother's dowry to me.
, besides soft things, there are several shops. When I was bored, I took care of them. Fortunately, the profits of those shops were pretty good." After a pause, Cen Xiyan looked at Cen Hongmian and smiled.
Question: "Third brother, don't you think I'm too philistine?"
This statement is not a lie. A few years ago, when Cen Aolai passed by Qingyuan Town and came to visit his daughter, Cen Xiyan intentionally or unintentionally asked her some questions about her biological mother, including who else was in her mother’s family.
But on the topic of what to leave behind, maybe Cen Ao felt that he owed his sixth daughter these years, and maybe he also felt that her life was too miserable in this small place of Qingyuan Town. Not long after he left that time, he sent someone to
Someone sent several shops and some land contracts, as well as some jewelry, saying that it was something her mother had left for her, and asked her to keep it for herself.
In fact, Cen Xiyan also had this meaning when she brought up this topic. She was very happy with Cen Ao's transparency. It was not that she cared about her mother's wealth, but that she intended to expand the Yuanyin Sect's business at that time, and later returned to Cen Ao.
At home, it is inevitable that there will be flaws in the details of money. With the mother's dowry as a good excuse, it will avoid people being suspicious.
Therefore, what she said to Cen Hongmian now was actually an excuse she had prepared long ago. This was a precautionary measure.
Did Father give Aunt Gu’s dowry to Sixth Sister? So that’s the case. It seems that although Father sent Sixth Sister to Qingyuan Town and stayed there for ten years, in fact, he didn’t miss and care about Sixth Sister at all. Cen didn’t miss Sixth Sister at all.
When Hongmian heard what Cen Xiyan said, he didn't feel suspicious. He sighed secretly in his heart. He felt more and more that it was not easy for the sixth sister. His father had given Aunt Gu's dowry to the sixth sister in advance to save her dowry, right?
After all, Sixth Sister's biological mother is no longer alive. She is a concubine. I am afraid no one will take the issue of dowry seriously in the future.
What surprised Cen Hongmian was that Cen Xiyan actually managed the shops himself? And he seemed to have a good talent for business. It was a good thing that his daughter's family would plan for themselves, but after all, business was a lowly industry, and he couldn't help but remind him.
One sentence, "When I return to the capital in the future, Sixth Sister can just leave those shops to the shopkeepers to take care of. Don't let yourself work too hard. When you have time, spend more time with the sisters at home to enhance their relationship, or occasionally go with them."
It would be good for noble ladies to enjoy flowers, compose poems, and make a few friends."
Cen Hongmian spoke euphemistically, how could Cen Xiyan not understand what he meant? She felt a little disapproval in her heart. As a modern soul, she certainly could not think that doing business was despicable like the ancients did, and she was not interested in doing business with those people.
A sister joins in the fun with the noble ladies of the capital. She just hopes that they will leave her alone. Thank God.
