Chapter 160
Zuo Zhengqing's current residence is the mansion of Fan Baidou, a wealthy businessman back then. After the Fan family's fall, the house was transferred to others, and Zuo Zhengqing's place has changed owners three times.

Fan Baidou is the richest businessman in the capital, and this house was built by him in his heyday, the scale can be imagined.

It was Cen Yunchu's first time here, and even though she had seen a lot, she had to agree that this house was really extraordinary.

Regardless of everything else, the two thousand-year-old yellow pine trees moved from Hongshan alone are incomparable elsewhere.

Fu Lan came in accompanied by Cen Yunchu, followed by a woman and a little girl.

That girl in Linxi had caught a cold after all, she had been coughing and sneezing for the past few days, so she had to stay at home to recuperate.

"I don't know which lady is here today?" Fu Lan whispered, "In addition to us, there are already three carriages parked outside."

Zuo Zhengqing was neither a monk nor a Daoist, but the woman who greeted Cen Yunchu was wearing a Daoist gown, followed by two young girls who had just grown their hair, also dressed as Daoist boys.

"Miss Cen, please come here for tea." The woman was only about forty years old, tall and thin, and when she spoke, she looked at Cen Yunchu from top to bottom calmly: "See you later Mr. my family."

Zuo Zhengqing shows the faces of the ladies of the family every five and ten, but only five people are allowed at a time, which is indispensable.

And when looking at the pictures, they looked at them one by one, which was what Cen Yun's grandmother had told her before she came here.

Cen Yunchu was taken to a guest room named "Quyu", and there were already three people waiting inside.

One of the Miss Sun family met at Mo Yuzhen's birthday party, and the other two did not know each other.

But since we got here, we naturally have to greet each other, and we know that the other two are the daughter of the Xiuzhuan Gao family of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the daughter of the Cong family.

Before that woman asked someone to serve tea to Cen Yunchu, she stood by the door and looked this way again.

Following Cen Yunchu's mother-in-law, he went out and quietly stuffed a few taels of silver into her hand.

When Cen Yun first saw him, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

She just sat down, and the last person of the day also came, and she was actually an acquaintance.

"Everyone is polite," Meng Qiao greeted everyone with a smile, "Please forgive me for being late."

The other three returned the salute with a smile, and Cen Yunchu finally stood up and was blessed.

Fu Lan watched coldly from the side, this Miss Meng was as warm and courteous to everyone as she had seen in Mo's house, and she didn't feel any displeasure because of her young lady's negligence.

Of the five ladies in this room, Cen Yunchu's appearance is naturally the best, followed by Meng Qiao.

Miss Sun's eyebrows and eyes are still pretty, but she is thin and small, as if she hasn't opened her eyes yet.

The small-eyed and snub-nosed girl from the Gao family always seemed to be angry with someone, and she knew she didn't look good, so she always kept her head down.

The girl from the Cong family was a bit too plump, the flesh on her cheeks squeezed her nose and lips between her, making her look uncomfortable.

After a while, a maid walked in from outside, and the woman said to Miss Sun who came first, "Miss Sun, please let her go."

Then Miss Sun stood up, bowed to everyone, and followed the maid.

Since Zuo Zhengqing came to see people, he always passed by the east and came out from the west, and never turned back.

Those who have seen the photo will naturally go out of the mansion directly, and will not come back here again.

Waiting inevitably made time pass too long, Cen Yunchu was bored and regretted not bringing a book.

But the first three people didn't delay for too long, there were a total of two incense sticks before and after.

"Miss Cen, Sir, please." At this time, the sun had risen very high, and the courtyard was full of the fragrance of tea flowers.

Cen Yunchu walked out of the guest room with Fulan's arm on his arm, and followed the maid from Zuo's family to a place wearing flowers and blowing willows.

It was a separate courtyard with three small and exquisite upper rooms. There were all kinds of rockeries and ponds in the courtyard, and there were also cranes.

"Miss, please go in alone, and the serving servants will wait outside for now." said the maid who led them here.

"This..." Fu Lan couldn't help but say: "How can someone not serve you?"

"It's the same for everyone who comes to look at the face," the servant girl explained with a smile: "Even the princess and the princess are the same. The rules set by the husband are reasonable, please go ahead, girl!"

Fulan had no choice but to let go of her hand and let her daughter go in.

At this time, Meng Qiao was the only one left in the guest room, and she gently took a sip from the tea cup.

Her heart was beating a little fast, and she tried her best to breathe evenly, trying not to let people see her nervousness.

Zuo Zhengqing has long been famous, if he can get a good command from him, then he will definitely marry high.

All the women in the capital regard this matter as extremely important, and Meng Qiao is no exception.

After all, the honor and disgrace of a woman in the second half of her life are determined by her marriage.

"Each of the first three is only half a stick of incense, why does this one from the Cen family take so long?" Meng Qiao's maid Ling Xiao asked.

"What's the hurry? I don't believe she can still tell the hour. It's our big event today, and it's our turn before noon." Another maid, Xiang Luo, said.

"Bodhisattva bless you! Ask Zuo Immortal to give our girl a big auspicious sign." Ling Xiao clasped his hands together and prayed to the sky: "So that I, the little girl, will also be blessed."

"This girl is so shameless!" Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to shave his face and said to her, "What's on your mind?!"

"What's there to be ashamed of, don't you want to serve the girl for a long time?" Xiangluo asked her back.

Meng Qiao also laughed and said, "If it's true as you said, you will naturally get well after I recover."

These two girls have served her since they were young, and they will probably follow her when they get married in the future.

There are only two ways out for dowry girls, one is to be a housekeeper girl, and the master will give her a title and become a concubine.

The second type is to marry a servant, the whole family will be slaves, the child is the son of the family, and the embryo of the slave is born in the mother's womb.

Besides, how many of the male masters are gentlemen?Those of them who served in front of them, who were a little flat-headed, probably couldn't be innocent.

Even if you can't live in the open, you have already groped to get started in the dark.

Rather than having such a bad reputation, it is better to be a concubine and be a half-master anyway.

Not to mention what the two maids were planning, after a while, the Taoist woman came to invite her, and Meng Qiao got up and walked out.

When she was walking, she wondered what the four people in front of her looked like?
But needless to say, Cen Yunchu must be different, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort.

Zuo Zhengqing would use a cinnabar pen to write it down on paper when he looked at people's faces, so as not to say anything without proof.

So it won't be long before the results of their reading will spread and become an important reference for getting married.

At this time, Cen Yunchu had already left Zuofu and got into the carriage.

She looked cold and held a folded piece of writing paper in her hand.

Fu Lan carefully looked at her own lady, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Since the young lady saw the picture, she has not said a word, and her whole body seems to be wrapped in a layer of frost.

Fulan has been serving her for so many years, and she has never encountered such a situation, so she tried to ask a few questions, but the young lady didn't speak, and she couldn't ask any more.
