Cen Xiyan only rested for one night in Yangcheng. Early the next morning, he left with Cang Qing and Yingxue and returned to Qingyuan Town. As for Guli Xiaman, she stayed in Liuxiangzhai temporarily.

Follow Tao Niang first.

From Yangcheng to Qingyuan Town, Cen Xiyan and the other three did not ride horses, but took a carriage just like when they came out of Qingyuan Town, and Cang Qing once again acted as the driver.

Shortly after noon, the carriage entered the town. Hearing the cries of vendors and greetings from the countryside outside the carriage, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face. Although, these sounds would not be heard in any ordinary small town.

She could hear them all, but hearing these sounds in Qingyuan Town made her feel more intimate, and she suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that she was finally home.

Feeling like this in her heart, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after she realized it, and then shook her head and laughed. She has lived in this town for ten years. It turns out that deep down in her heart, she has already regarded this place as her home...

"Chestnuts! Roasted chestnuts with sugar! Roasted chestnuts with sugar just out of the pot, sweet and fragrant roasted chestnuts..."

The shouting outside interrupted Cen Xiyan's thoughts. She couldn't help but reach out to lift the curtain of the car window and took a look outside. The chestnut vendor was a man in his thirties, with dark skin, a simple and honest smile, and enthusiastic

Greeting customers.

Cen Xiyan knew this man. People in the town called him Heizi. He was a filial and hard-working man. His parents were not in good health and they had many children. He was the mainstay of the family. Every year except during the busy farming season, he would sit on the corner of the street.

The stall sells roasted chestnuts with sugar. The chestnuts he roasts are not expensive, taste good, and come in generous portions. They are very popular with people in the town. Cen Xiyan often eats his roasted chestnuts.

Yingxue on the side sniffed, "It smells so good. It's been a long time since I've eaten chestnuts roasted by Heizi!"

Cen Xiyan laughed and cursed, "Greedy girl!" Finally, he shouted to Cang Qing outside the car, "Senior Brother Cang Qing, stop the car." She did not deliberately conceal her voice, so she said it in a woman's voice.

of.

Cang Qing didn't say anything, and just followed the instructions and stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

"Yingxue, go buy some chestnuts and come back." Cen Xiyan said to Yingxue. Although it would be more convenient for Cang Qing outside the car to buy chestnuts, she knew that Cang Qing didn't like to deal with strangers, so she didn't intend to embarrass him.

What's more, Cang Qing is her senior brother, and she has no intention of using him as a subordinate.

"Okay, miss." Yingxue jumped out of the carriage happily and walked towards Heizi's candied roasted chestnut stall.

Cen Xiyan put down the car curtains and leaned lazily on the cushions, waiting for Yingxue to come back.

What she didn't know was that her undisguised clear female voice was heard by the guests sitting by the window on the second floor of a teahouse not far away.

The man was attracted by the calm and pleasant voice, so he stretched out his head and looked down. He happened to see Cen Xiyan's hand lifting the car curtain. Although it was a little far away, he could probably tell that it was a pair of slender hands.

Glowing white women's hands.

It's just a pity that because of the angle, we can't see the face of the woman in the car.

The man was shaking the folding fan with a longing look on his face. He didn't know that there could be such a beautiful sound, and what a charming appearance a woman with beautiful hands could have?

At this time, Yingxue got out of the carriage and went straight to the stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.

From the look of this woman, he thought she might be a maid, but she has a slim figure, a sweet appearance, a pair of beautiful almond eyes, and a lively look, which is very attractive!

Even the appearance of a maid is so unfamiliar, so the young lady in the car must be a beauty too!

"Anzi, do you know whose carriage is down there?" The man closed the folding fan, pointed down, and asked the boy beside him.

The young boy named Anzi stretched his neck and looked down, shook his head, "If you return to the master, I don't know..."

"Trash! You don't know such a trivial matter, why do you stay with me?" the young man said impatiently.

Anzi bowed with a flattering look on his face, "Don't worry, young master. I don't know, but this teahouse is a time-honored restaurant in the town. The shopkeeper or the waiter should know about it."

"Then why are you still standing there? Call someone and ask."

"Yes, little one, let's go right away." Anzi responded and quickly walked out of the box, and soon a waiter from the teahouse was dragged in from outside the box.

"Master, you call me young, do you need anything?" The waiter asked politely with a smile on his face.

Outside the window and downstairs, the girl has already bought a pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts and is about to leave.

The young man quickly stretched out his hand to grab the waiter's sleeve and asked him to look downstairs, "Did you see the carriage? And that girl, do you know which family she is from?"

The waiter glanced out the window. The carriage was very ordinary, without any decorations or markings. Naturally, it was impossible to tell whose carriage it belonged to. However, the girl looked familiar. It was a pity that all she saw at the moment was her back.

Since he couldn't see the face, he wasn't sure whose girl this was.

At this time, Yingxue had already walked to the carriage with a bag of chestnuts in her arms. Because she had to turn slightly sideways when getting on the carriage, half of her face was exposed, allowing the waiter to recognize her.

"This is Miss Cen's maid!" the waiter blurted out.

When the young man saw that the waiter really knew the girl, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked again: "Miss Cen family? Which Miss Cen family?"

"That's Miss Cen from the Cen family's house in Zhennan."

"Then what kind of family is the Cen family?"

The waiter shook his head, "I can't tell you the specific details. I just know that the house is a villa of a wealthy family. I heard that the people of that family are all in the capital. This villa is just one of many properties, and not many people come here usually.

of."

"Oh? So, this young lady from the Cen family is just staying here temporarily?"

"That's not true, and I don't know why. This Miss Cen does not live in the main family in Beijing. She has been living in the annex of Cen's house in Qingyuan Town. I heard that she has lived here since she was a child.

, it seems to be almost ten years..."

"She lives alone in the house in Qingyuan Town, without her parents or relatives around her?"

"No." The waiter shook his head firmly, "I heard that in that house, this young lady is the only master. Apart from that, there are only a few servants who serve."

"What does Miss Cen look like? Have you seen her?" This was the question he was most concerned about.

Hearing this question, the waiter's face suddenly showed a drunken expression. It took a long time before he replied: "Beautiful! Very beautiful! Very beautiful! She is a great beauty!"

"Oh? How beautiful?"

"Sir, did you just see that maid? She is also a very beautiful woman, right? But compared with her young lady, this girl can only be regarded as an ordinary beauty!"

"So, the woman in the car is really a beauty..." The young man opened the folding fan again, swaying it in a coquettish way, with a thoughtful expression, "It's just... this Cen
