The first thing Cen Xiyan went to get was the gift box sent by Cen Ao. The box was not big and was very light to get, but it was not so light that it had no weight at all. Therefore, she knew that it could not be the silver or silver box that Cen Xiqin had guessed.

It's a banknote.

After opening the box, Cen Xiqin, Jingshuang, and Yingxue all stretched their heads and looked over curiously.

But inside the box, there was a hairpin lying quietly, a wooden hairpin.

"Wooden hairpin?" Cen Xiqin was the first to curl his lips and said: "Sixth sister, why did dad give you this thing on your birthday? It's too stingy!"

Cen Xiyan reached out and picked up the orange-red wooden hairpin, looked at it carefully, and said: "The material is red rosewood, and it is an old item, so it still has some value. Dad is not stingy."

Cen Xiqin looked at Cen Xiyan with admiration in her eyes, "Sixth sister, you are so amazing, you know so much!"

She is becoming more and more curious about this sixth sister now. What has she experienced in the ten years since she left the Cen Mansion? Why does she seem to know everything...

Cen Xiyan smiled and didn't have much explanation. Her sect dealt with wood the most, how could she not understand wood? However, this ancient gift-giving is really nothing new. In the past few days, she has received and given hairpins.

There are quite a few.

Next, she opened the box that Old Mrs. Cen had given her. Old Mrs. Cen was much more generous. What she gave her was a set of gold and ruby-encrusted headdresses! However, the style was too gorgeous and noble, and

It is not suitable for a little girl of her age to wear, so I can only keep it at the bottom of the box.

At this time, the maid Chuanwu shouted loudly from outside, saying that the lady in charge, Mama Li, was here.

Jingshuang responded and went out, letting Mother Li enter the house. Behind Mother Li, there were two maids with a lot of things in their hands.

Mother Li and the two girls first saluted and greeted Cen Xiyan, said some auspicious words of birthday congratulations, and placed the things on the table.

It turned out that they were the dresses that were taken out a few days ago, and two sets had been produced today. Mother Li hurriedly sent them over for Cen Xiyan to wear today.

However, when she saw Cen Xiyan's clothes, she couldn't help but show a little surprise on her face. The clothes, materials, and workmanship of Miss Six's clothes were no worse than the two clothes made in the house, and even looked better.

With Miss Six's appearance and temperament, seeing the clothes she rushed to deliver, Miss Six might not be able to change.

Cen Xiyan asked Jingshuang to reward Mother Li and the two maids with some money, and asked Yingxue to send the dress to the closet upstairs. As expected, she had no intention of changing it.

Mother Li and the two maids received the reward and then left.

In the morning, Mrs. Cen met Cen Xiyan, and together with Cen Ao, she celebrated her birthday and gave her a birthday gift. This matter soon spread in the house.

Next, Cen Xiyan spent the whole morning collecting gifts. Almost all the masters in the mansion and various courtyards sent people to Jinglan Pavilion to deliver gifts.

However, most of the things that everyone gave this time were not particularly valuable, they were just tokens of affection, or, more often, they were for Cen Ao and Mrs. Cen to see.

Even Zhao, Cen Xihan, and Cen Xifen sent people to the southeast.

Of course, Cen Xifen didn't want to give them, but Cen Xihan went to visit the grounded Cen Xifen this morning and persuaded her to give some birthday gifts to Cen Xiyan.

Cen Xiyan smiled when he received the gift from Cen Xifen. It was a box of rouge. Looking at the outer box, it was produced by a well-known time-honored rouge shop in Sheng'an City. However, the outer box of this box of rouge looked a bit old.

I have bought it for a long time, and it is suspected of being expired. When I opened the lid, the rouge inside clearly showed signs of use!

Cen Xiyan is smiling, but Jingshuang and Yingxue's faces are not very pretty. Is this eighth lady sincerely giving the gift? She is deliberately causing trouble!

Cen Xiqin's face also showed anger, and he said angrily: "The eighth sister is getting more and more outrageous! I'll go and ask her what she really thinks!"

After saying that, he stood up and went to question Cen Xifen.

"Forget it." Cen Xiyan stopped Cen Xiqin and said, "It's not worth making a fuss over such a trivial matter. In fact, I don't care at all."

In fact, Cen Xifen, a little girl who was unruly, selfish, and very jealous, was not in her eyes at all.

Cen Xiqin thought about it, and finally let it go. Today is the sixth sister's birthday. Don't let the eighth sister's ignorance mess up the good things in the end. However, she remembered this matter. After today, she will have to talk to her grandmother.

OK!

When it was almost noon, Jingshuang and Yingxue asked Cen Xiyan for instructions and wanted all the servants in the yard to celebrate her birthday together.

Cen Xiyan nodded in agreement. After that, all the maids and wives in Jinglan Pavilion entered Cen Xiyan's small building and gave Cen Xiyan their blessings and their gifts.

Some maids and ladies wanted to kowtow to Cen Xiyan, but they were stopped by Jingshuang and Yingxue. In some wealthy families, when the master is celebrating his birthday, the servants have to kowtow to give a grand ceremony, but they know that their sister does not like this.

of.

The gifts given by the maids and mothers-in-law are just some small things such as sachets, embroidered handkerchiefs, and ruffles, but they are basically made by themselves. Compared with the gifts sent by other courtyards in the house,

It made Cen Xiyan feel that it was true.

Therefore, every time she received a gift, she smiled, looked at it carefully, and sometimes commented and praised it, which made the maids and mothers-in-law feel flattered!

Knowing that Cen Xiyan punished Cen Xifen and even beat Cen Xifen's wet nurse, many servants in the Cen family felt that the sixth lady was a powerful and intolerable mistress, and those in Jinglan Pavilion who did not often come into contact with Cen Xiyan

The servants, after hearing Ging Guo's description of the situation at that time, were a little envious of Jingshuang and Yingxue. It was the greatest blessing to be a slave to be protected by their master. It would be great if Miss Six could do the same to them.

But although they are from Jinglan Pavilion, Miss Six usually doesn't let them in...

But Cen Xiyan's behavior today suddenly made them feel that Miss Six, who seemed unattainable in the past, has finally become much closer to them today.

In fact, Cen Xiyan also knew that Jingshuang and Yingxue had communicated with the maids and mothers in the past few days, and it seemed that they had prepared a lot of programs today. In the past few days, she heard some people quietly practicing in the corner.

, she is looking forward to the others.

In this backward time and space, there are too few entertainment programs and spiritual life is too poor...

After collecting the gifts from the maids and ladies, it was already lunch time. Yingxue was just about to ask Cen Xiyan if he wanted to serve a meal. At this moment, someone came to send birthday gifts again, but this time, the gift-giver was not
Chapter completed!
