The Story of Finding a Husband Through the Past and the Present

Chapter 3

"Mom, are you arranging flowers?" Cen Miaohan sat opposite Mrs. Cen curiously, watching Mrs. Cen make a series of movements gracefully.

"Yes." Mrs. Cen nodded and continued the work in hand.

Flower arranging is a skill loved by the wives and ladies of noble families in this era, but it is not a must for them to learn. The Cen family is also in business, so it doesn't matter if the sisters of the Cen family don't learn flower arranging. The era is the era that most pursues elegance and charm. The four arts of burning incense, ordering tea, hanging paintings, and flower arrangement are almost necessities in their lives. It goes without saying that being able to play harmoniously with the number one scholar, Lang Qinse, is elegant and refined, so Cen Miaohan can be said to have mastered the skill of flower arranging.

The art of flower arrangement has developed from ancient times to modern times. It has a very long history. The modern art of flower arrangement has integrated the essence of all dynasties in history. In addition to less fun, it is not like their era, which was extremely pursuing elegance. The artwork is closer to life. Not to mention the variety of flower arrangements, the various colors complement each other, which looks really interesting.

"Why are you interested in flower arrangement today? Aren't you usually the most impatient with this?" Mrs. Cen finished the work in hand, looked up at the sparkling eyes of her eldest daughter, and smiled dotingly.

"That's because Mom, your craftsmanship is too exquisite, and your movements are elegant and graceful, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes me fascinated by watching."

"Look at what you said today has changed. Instead of pursuing your fashion, you started to change to the elegant route?"

"After looking around, I still think that classical beauties like you are the most attractive, so I plan to train myself in this area." Cen Miaohan didn't need to be deliberate, facing Mrs. Cen's intimate and coquettish gesture, As if she was born with it, it was the first time she flattered someone so bluntly, and she did it without any pressure.

"I said a long time ago that our Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and you had to imitate Western attitudes at that time."

Cen Miaohan got up and walked to Mrs. Cen, put her arms around her arm and said with a smile: "Then I will start learning now, okay?"

Mrs. Cen shook her head, "You are so old, you often work overtime, how can you have the energy to study?"

"I'm joking." Cen Miaohan laughed again, "It's not that I haven't learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before. I remember that the calligraphy teacher you hired for us praised me."

"That is, the teacher I hired for you when I was a child, who doesn't praise you very much." Mrs. Cen was full of smiles when she mentioned this. Her husband is the heir of the Cen family, and the next heir must be their son, but she got married. Not long after, she gave birth to three daughters in succession, and she had nothing to do for six years. Although her husband said he didn't mind, the pressure on their husband and wife was very high. It came from the pressure from the elders, the shareholders of the consortium, and the outside world. Fortunately, she was the eldest daughter. She is extremely intelligent, so she and her husband have the confidence to reject the proposal of the elders. If they really can't have a son, it is not impossible for Miaohan to inherit it. Therefore, Mrs. Cen's feelings for the eldest daughter are different, and she even gave birth to a son later. , her favorite child is still this daughter.

"Miaohan, I didn't eat at noon, are you hungry now? Mom asked the kitchen to cook soup for you. I'll go and see if the soup is ready. You can eat some snacks to pad your stomach first."

Cen Miaohan gently hugged Mrs. Cen, "Thank you, Mom."

"Stupid boy, tell Mom what to say thank you." Mrs. Cen patted Cen Miaohan on the head, completely ignoring the second daughter beside her, and walked towards the kitchen with a smile on her face.

Is this how a mother feels?Cen Miaohan sat on the sofa, lowered her head and meditated, feeling very warm, warmer than the embrace of the eldest sister, and then, the mother's care easily made her intoxicated, it seemed that she could forget all the unhappiness, and the mother was more considerate and meticulous than the eldest sister , This feeling is really wonderful... Come to think of it, if my mother was alive, she would love me so much, right?
However, isn't this mother hers now? It's hard-won maternal love. She should also enjoy it, enjoy all the love and care of this Cen Miaohan, and at the same time treat all the relatives and friends of this Cen Miaohan as her own relatives and friends to treat.

Mrs. Cen came over with a bowl of soup in person, followed by an aunt. Mrs. Cen handed the soup to Cen Miaohan, turned around and said to Cen Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, drink some, it's very nourishing for women."

Cen Jinxuan took the bowl from her auntie indifferently, it was hard for her mother to still remember her as a little transparent, how could she live up to this kind of heart.

Seeing this, Cen Miaohan smiled and said to Mrs. Cen, "Mom, since this is the case, then you should drink a little too."

"Mom knows." Mrs. Cen is very grateful for the eldest daughter's concern. After this incident, Miaohan has fully matured, even her words and deeds have changed a lot, and she is more like the kind of lady she wants to cultivate. Now, it seems that it is not all bad, but it is enough to experience such a thing only once.

The two sisters finished the soup slowly, and the aunt next to her came back to the kitchen with an empty bowl.

Cen Miaohan glanced at Cen Jinxuan on her right, she even had the same expression as her eldest sister when she was eating, she couldn't help but think wildly, that's right, even she can time travel through rebirth, so how can the reincarnation of later generations be nonsense? This family still has a long history, big sister, I will take care of your offspring, I will let her live a carefree life, let her live a better life than my sister's life before she came out of the cabinet, and protect her for the rest of her life.

Cen Jinxuan was baffled by Cen Miaohan's gaze, she lowered her head unconsciously, but she didn't know that it was the moment she lowered her head that Cen Miaohan made a decision in her heart.

"Mom, let's sit down and chat." Cen Miaohan took Mrs. Cen's arm and shook it twice.

"What do you want to talk about?" Mrs. Cen smiled dotingly and sat beside her.

"Let's talk about the Shangguan family. After all, it's the family I'm going to marry into. I definitely need to know something about it."

"Don't worry, you don't have to marry into Shangguan's family."

"Why?" Cen Miaohan was puzzled. This deity was because she was going to marry the notorious Shangguan Second Young Master. She couldn't think of school and she drank too much. As a result, she became alcoholic. When she came back from the hospital in better health, she was stimulated by her father's insistence on marrying her, so she fell down on the spot. He fell into a coma, and then made himself cheap.

No one spoke, and only then did Cen Miaohan remember what Jin Xuan said to her in a complicated tone when she just woke up—"Just now, my mother told me that you don't need to marry into Shangguan's family, and you don't need to marry Shangguan Yuqi."

"Mom, why did you say that I don't need to marry? Could it be that you asked Jinxuan to replace me..." Sweeping glances at Cen Jinxuan with a complicated expression, caught the flash of sarcasm in her eyes.

Mrs. Cen patted Cen Miaohan, "Okay, let's not discuss this topic, you are wearing your sister's clothes today, do you not like your own clothes? Do you want to go shopping, or ask someone to buy the latest clothes? Send it home for you to choose?"

"It's definitely better to buy clothes by yourself, and it's also fun to go shopping." Cen Miaohan pursed her lips, "But Mom, I still want to discuss this topic with you."

"Okay, what do you want to discuss?"

"Jinxuan can't marry me, Mom."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Mrs. Cen looked at her with heavy eyes, and her tone was rare and severe.

"I know, but Jinxuan can't marry into Shangguan's family."

"Then what do you want to do now?"

"I'll marry!" Cen Miaohan looked at Mrs. Cen firmly.

Mrs. Cen stood up abruptly, "I see that you just woke up and your head is still in a daze. Go back to your room and continue to rest!" The second daughter is here, so she has some things to say, but after all, even her husband didn't object to her proposal. How could she tolerate her eldest daughter messing around at this time!
Mrs. Cen turned around and left too quickly. Cen Miaohan didn't stop her in time, so she could only slightly pursed her lips, but she still didn't compromise in her heart. She Cen Miaohan was soft-tempered since she was a child, but only her elder sister knew that it was because of her indifference, what? If she doesn't care, she naturally doesn't mind other people deciding her affairs, and if she really wants to do something, she won't give up until she achieves her goal.

This is almost the first time Mrs. Cen walked away from Cen Miaohan, at least it was the first time Cen Jinxuan saw it. She didn't know what kind of mood she would feel if someone else encountered such a situation, but she suddenly felt a little It's ridiculous, and after laughing, she feels sad again. She envied her jealous elder sister since she was a child, and at this time, she contradicts her mother who dotes on her the most for herself. No matter whether the elder sister is sincere or not, compared with her mother's attitude, she looks more and more pitiful to Cen Jinxuan.

Cen Miaohan didn't continue to persist because she was worried about Cen Jinxuan's presence. Mrs. Cen made no secret of her defense just now, and she had already hurt Jinxuan's heart. She couldn't stimulate her anymore, although it was unintentional.After thinking about it, Cen Miaohan sat next to Cen Jinxuan, and said softly to her, "Jinxuan, don't mind, mom is just reacting in a hurry."

Cen Jinxuan shook her head, "Sister, I know, don't contradict mom for me, I did agree." Even though she, Cen Jinxuan, is pitiful, she doesn't need Cen Miaohan to sympathize, even if this is her elder sister who is a compatriot of her own mother.

"No, Shangguan's family, I'm married!"

"You don't have to do this at all, no one is forcing me."

"Jinxuan." Cen Miaohan smiled slightly, her eyes were bright and sparkling, but her voice was firmer than ever before, "I was not a good big sister before, and I ignored you for more than 20 years, but now I have woken up and want to make up, will you Will you give me this chance?"

"In this family, you are not the only one who ignores me." Cen Jinxuan turned her eyes away, and stopped looking at the pair of eyes that made her lose her mind. Of course, she could see the firmness and sincerity in the other's eyes, so her eyes watered uncontrollably Light, it's just that the more this is the case, the more desolate she feels. How much does she expect such ethereal warmth, so she can't help but be moved by just a word or a look?

Cen Miaohan smiled faintly, "It's useless to just talk, I will let you know with my actions that I am a good big sister." So, I will take care of you to the end in this life.
