Hearing the man say the word "silver", Cen Xiyan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he remembered where he had heard this man's voice!

This man is the adulterer that Zhao went on a date with on New Year’s Eve! What’s his name A Jian...

Thinking of who this man was, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. What a coincidence! Before Yue Yue could find out who this man was, she met him...

On the surface, Cen Xiyan seemed to be looking at the silk carefully, but in fact, he secretly observed the man next to him and took a closer look at his appearance.

She had to admit that this man was quite good-looking. No wonder Mrs. Zhao would have an affair with him. At first glance, this man had a military air about him, but upon closer inspection, she found that his eyes were a little gloomy.

He is by no means a truly upright and upright person.

At this time, the owner of the silk and satin shop had already quoted the price of the two pieces of silk to the man. The man lowered his head and took off his purse and took out the silver.

Cen Xiyan's eyes fell on the silk and satin he had chosen. They were all of good quality, and judging from the design and color, they should be given to women. Moreover, the delicate look in their eyes was only suitable for young women.

Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, her intuition told her that the silk and satin chosen by this man was definitely not for Zhao!

There are rules for various expenses in the Cen Mansion. The clothing materials used in each courtyard will be distributed quarterly. Of course, there are also gifts from others, or if you have enough change, you go to the street to buy them yourself.

However, Ms. Zhao would definitely not accept gifts from other men, especially things like silk rulers, which are large and conspicuous.

Even if she had to buy it for herself, Ms. Zhao would not buy this kind of pattern. Although Ms. Zhao has taken good care of herself, she is still in her mid-thirties and is not suitable for such patterns and looks at all.

Thinking of this, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When this man and Mrs. Zhao met that night, they acted affectionately, just like a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks. In fact, they really have their own thoughts and get what they want...

The man paid the money, turned around and left with two pieces of silk in his arms.

"Master, what do you think of these two pieces of brocade? Do you like them?" The waiter on the side saw that Cen Xiyan had been choosing for half a year without saying which one he wanted, so he couldn't help asking again.

But Cen Xiyan pushed the pieces of silk and fabric and said, "I'll go look elsewhere."

After that, he turned around and left.

The guy was so impressed that he quickly shouted: "Hey! Sir, don't leave in a hurry! Do you want me to introduce you to someone else?"

"No need." Cen Xiyan didn't even look back and had already stepped out of the door.

Xiao Qi was smart, made a mistake in his steps, blocked the guy, and said: "My young master is not satisfied! Just don't annoy our young master!"

The man didn't dare to say anything anymore and stopped walking.

In this capital city, you can easily meet prominent nobles on the street. Cen Xiyan is so well-dressed that no one dares to offend him.

Xiao Qi pretended to be disdainful, snorted, and then hurried out and caught up with Cen Xiyan.

The waiter was so angry that he let out a sigh and cursed in a low voice: "What are you pretending to be! He is just a dog wagging his tail in front of your master! Huh! Your master may not really be a noble man! No noble man can dress like this!"

Such virtue!"

"Okay! Stop saying a few words!" The shopkeeper was counting the money and scolding the waiter: "This is in Beijing, under the emperor's feet. You must be careful what you say and do, don't cause trouble for me!"

"I know, the shopkeeper..."

Although Cen Xiyan and Xiao Qi walked out of the door of the silk and satin shop, they had not gone very far. They both had inside knowledge and excellent ears, so they naturally heard everything the shopkeeper and the waiter said.

Xiaoqi's nose almost became crooked with anger. She even called him a dog! She also said that their young master was pretending to be a noble man! It was so irritating!

"This guy really deserves a beating!" Xiao Qi said through gritted teeth.

Cen Xiyan smiled and said, "Why worry about such a trivial matter."

Xiao Qi groaned twice in frustration and stopped complaining.

Cen Xiyan followed the man named A Jian leisurely, watching him twist and turn for a long time, and finally entered an alley in a civilian area and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

He came down and reached out to knock on the door.

It was not long before the door of the small courtyard was opened. A fat woman opened the door from the inside. When she saw A Jian, she smiled and said: "Master Cui is here. Please come inside quickly. Madam is thinking of you."

Woolen cloth……"

As he spoke, he quickly let the man in.

Cen Xiyan looked at the small courtyard carefully, then turned around and walked back.

Xiao Qi was confused and asked puzzledly: "Master, is there anything wrong with this man and this yard?"

Cen Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. When we get back, let Yue Yue check who lives in this courtyard."

"Oh..." Xiao Qi saw that Cen Xiyan refused to elaborate, so she stopped asking further.

From afternoon to evening every day, it is the busiest time for business in Shiquan Shifeng.

Cen Xiyan, dressed like a nouveau riche, took Xiaoqi with him and swaggered into Perfect Place.

Xiaocao held back a smile as she received Cen Xiyan and let her go to the private room upstairs.

Many people who saw Cen Xiyan just silently despised her tacky clothes, but no one paid much attention to her.

After entering the room, Xiaocao waited on Cen Xiyan. She took off her wealthy clothes and put on clean and fresh clothes. She looked like a handsome young lady again.

It wasn't long before Yue Yue came in, looked at Cen Xiyan up and down, and asked with a smile: "Is that so? Young master is going out today, is there any girl who wants to throw flowers at you?"

"There aren't any flowers, but I got a lot of eyes." Cen Xiyan said with a smile.

"Tch!" Yue Yue rolled her eyes, "Young Master, just be poor!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Cen Xiyan straightened his expression and said.

When Yue Yue heard the words, her face showed serious expression, and she made a gesture of listening attentively.

Cen Xiyan was still not sure about the names of some small alleys in the capital, so he asked Xiaocao to get pen and ink, write and draw on the paper, and sketched out a simple and clear map.

She pointed to one of the points and said to the moon: "Go and find out who lives in this courtyard, and who this family usually interacts closely with."

Yue Yue picked up the simple map, looked at it, then raised her head, looked at Cen Xiyan, and asked doubtfully: "Did Young Master find anything? Why do you want to check here?"

Cen Xiyan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I can't tell clearly now, but you can investigate the affairs of this courtyard and the Zhao family together, and maybe you can find out something from them."

After Yue Yue heard what Cen Xiyan said, she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Okay, young master, I will find out what you want as soon as possible."
