The female supporting role never believes in fate

Zhao Cheng, who had his eyes wide open in Chenghou's mansion, still looked sad when he returned to the fourth prince's mansion.

"...In short, it's just one word, chaos. Nuoda's Hou's mansion has no division of responsibilities and unclear responsibilities. No wonder the old Cheng Hou's reputation in Nuoda back then, but now the Hou Ye only got a vain job. I'm afraid the old Hou Ye would have seen it long ago." Come out, if the current Cheng Hou is allowed to hold the real power, with the appearance of the Hou Mansion's loose rules, it is foreseeable to sneak in or buy one or two people, not enough success, dereliction of duty and trouble."

Sitting behind the table, the fourth prince couldn't help thinking of the old Hou Ye after hearing Zhao Cheng's words.

"When I was young, I met old Hou Ye. He is a man who speaks thoughtfully and acts rigorously. Back then, he was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and guarding the capital. His father said that he could only sleep soundly when he was guarded by Old Hou Cheng Cheng. Now it's Xiao Cheng Hou, but it is rich in gold and jade, and it is ruined. I heard that Cheng Hou failed in the imperial examination, and he was very depressed for a while. Later, the old master arranged for Cheng Hou to be a general of the Dragon Guard. It is said that for this reason, Cheng Hou There was also a big commotion in the mansion, Mrs. Huo's wife of Cheng Hou gave birth prematurely because of this, and the old Hou Ye was also angry that her old illness relapsed, and she passed away in a few years. Now it seems that the old Hou Ye had the foresight."

The personnel affairs in the capital are complicated, and in the past ten years or so, it seems that things are different and people are different.

He grew up from an ignorant child back then, the old Hou Ye's voice and appearance are still there, and the grass in front of the grave has withered and yellowed several times.

After being dazed for a moment, the fourth prince looked at Zhao Cheng in front of him, "Did you leave any eyeliner for Chenghou's mansion? There are no rules, and there is no such thing as a square. Chenghou's mansion is well-known, but there is no one in charge with a bright heart, and sooner or later Cheng will fall apart. It is the most dangerous time for Yuguan to return to the Hou Mansion right now."

People who have no rules are crazy and have no bottom line. Even the old Hou Ye was so angry that his life was short. Cheng Yu locked up a little girl, it was like a tiger and wolf's den.

"I have left eyeliner outside the mansion, but inside the Hou mansion, after all, it is a forbidden area, and the humble official did not intervene at will."

Putting gaps and monitoring super-rank officials, if it spreads, the fourth prince is equivalent to cutting himself off from all officials, Zhao Cheng naturally knows the severity.

The fourth prince nodded slightly, "Let's do this first, Cheng Yuguan is not at the mercy of others."

Hearing what the fourth prince said, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but think of Cheng Yuguan's actions in Chenghou's mansion today.

"Miss Cheng has a sense of proportion. She not only shows that she is not easy to mess with, but also does not push her too much. After all, she is new here and can win the small kitchen, so she has a foothold in the mansion."

Only when there are people with power under their hands can they have capital.

Mrs. Cheng Hou controls the entire mansion, but now Cheng Yuguan has torn a hole in Mrs. Hou's chassis to breathe. Whether it is a plan or a wrong one, at least for a short time, Cheng Yuguan is safe.

"Properity? What is a sense of proportion? Believe it or not, after today, the entire capital will know about the name of Miss Hou's domineering? For a young lady, reputation is sometimes more important than Mount Tai. It all depends on whether she can bear it or not." .”

"You mean?"

Zhao Cheng thought of the weak and weeping Mrs. Hou who had been by Cheng Hou's side all the time.

"There are no rules in a mansion, it can only be that the housekeeper is too selfish. The famous family has never had the rules of supporting the concubine. Now it seems that although the Yang family is also from a famous family, after many years of rectification, they still can't change their small family spirit. I don't know if Cheng Hou and the old lady have any regrets for making the old Hou Ye mad because of such a woman."

The fourth prince sighed a few words, told Zhao Cheng to step down, and returned to his desk.The table was full of paperwork, and he had to deal with each one, which showed that he just asked Cheng Yuguan about the details of going home, as if he took time out of his busy schedule to pay attention.

Zhao Cheng was puzzled by this for a moment. The fourth prince has always been known as the "black-faced prince". ?Unable to figure it out, Zhao Cheng turned to forget about it, anyway, he was under the fourth prince's subordinate, and the master signaled him to just follow up.

...

Cheng Yu was locked in the Hou's Mansion, and lived a clean life with the door closed. He ate and drank in the Qingxintang, and the servant girl who served her was said to be a son selected from Zhuangzi from various places in the mansion. Let her use it with confidence.

As soon as he entered the house, his eyes and ears were closed.

Cheng Yuguan thought about the words of the old nanny who led the maidservant in, and the deep meaning in her eyes, and felt dull in his heart.

At home, she still needs to be scheming. Although the Chenghou Mansion is full of wealth and wealth, she still prefers the carefree life in Chengjia Village.

"Miss, do you want to go to the garden in the mansion too?"

The maid Chen Xiang suggested casually while grinding ink for Cheng Yuguan.

Although the eldest lady is still young, she is very calm. Chen Xiang was sent to the Qingxintang by Lai Nai to serve her side, and found that in the past few days, the eldest lady sat, slept and rested very regularly.

When I get up early, I do boxing and morning exercises in the courtyard, and then wash and eat.

After the morning meal, I read and practice calligraphy in the study of Qingxintang.After daytime, after a short nap, I went to the backyard of Qingxintang to go fishing, or look at trees and clouds, but at such a young age, I seemed to be an outsider, deep and reticent.

It is quite different from the little country girl that Chen Xiang thought she had no knowledge before coming here.

She is a few years older than the eldest lady. A month ago, she was selected from the Zhuangzi of the Hou's Mansion to go to the Hou's Mansion. How many little sisters envied her, and even she herself, when she came to this beautiful and splendid Hou's Mansion, secretly After being excited for a long time, it was Nanny Lai's strict teaching that allowed a group of little girls to suppress their superficial excitement and serve with heart.

Unexpectedly, a country girl from a remote place did not show any excitement when she entered the Hou's mansion. Is she really from a famous family?

Chen Xiang served her personally, so she naturally knew whether the eldest lady's composure was fake or real.

The appearance of the Hou's Mansion is naturally splendid and splendid, the main entrance of the Hou's Mansion with red walls and green tiles, she felt anxious even after taking a look at it, she dared to take a sneak peek and enter the Hou's Mansion through the side door.

Even so, when she passed the gate of the Hou's Mansion, she passed with bated breath, being photographed by the majesty outside the Hou's Mansion.

And the Qingxin Hall where she lives, according to Madam Lai, is the second only courtyard in the mansion after the old lady's Jingyuan Hall.

Qingxin Hall occupies a huge area, almost occupying half of the southeast corner of the Hou Mansion, and it has a front hall and a back yard three deep.

Except for the front hall and the main room where the eldest lady lives now, the back yard is the real main courtyard of Qingxintang.It was the former residence of Mrs. Xian. I heard that General Huo married half of the warehouse of Huo's family to Mrs. Xian's living room, so any utensils in Mrs. Xian's living room have their origins and are exquisite.

Now these good things were given to the eldest lady by Master Hou, but the eldest lady didn't even open the door, let alone take a look.

I only chose the current front hall and main house to live in, and the space for activities on weekdays is limited to the front hall and the front yard and back garden of Qingxin Hall. I have no curiosity about the rows of locked doors.

Seeing that the eldest lady had a very boring daily life, Chen Xiang thought to let the eldest lady go out to relax.

After all, the decoration of Qingxin Hall is only the sycamore tree that is rarely seen in the backyard, and some common flowers and plants are not there. After a long time of looking at it, it will inevitably feel boring.

"I heard that the Wangyou grass and Lingxiao flowers in the back garden are all in bloom. The big flowers are very gratifying. Today, the weather is sunny but not hot, and the flowers are blooming brightly, which is suitable for flower viewing. I heard that these days, Second Miss holds a flower viewing banquet in the backyard every day, and some ladies from famous families in the capital have come. You are new here, and you will meet these ladies at your own house first, and then you will meet again, so there is some affection for you."

Chen Xiang spoke softly, Cheng Yuguan put down his pen, and looked at the big maid arranged by Nanny Lai.

"Sister Chen Xiang thinks it's boring, so you can take the painting boat and the others to the garden in turn to relax. As for me, I've been very boring since I was a child, and I prefer to be alone. You just go and leave me alone."

Chen Xiang quickly stopped her hand grinding the ink, squatted down and bowed to admit her mistake, "Don't dare to be a young lady and say "sister", you can just call the servant "Chen Xiang". The duty of the servant is to serve the young lady, how can I leave the young lady and run out by myself. The servant girl just thinks that when the young lady arrives for the first time, she will inevitably get bored by herself. If she can meet a few young ladies of the same age, she will be able to integrate into the life of the capital's Marquis faster if she has contacts in the future.... This is also what Madam Lai meant. "

Speaking of Nanny Lai, Chen Xiang lifted his eyelids, glanced at Cheng Yuguan, saw her smiling at him, and explained with a guilty conscience for some reason.

"Nurse Lai is the old lady's personal person, and what she means is also what the old lady wants. Although you have not been in the mansion these years, the old lady has always cared about you. This Qingxintang is also the old lady's decision. The key to your residence is to give you all the things belonging to the late wife. It can also be regarded as making up for your loneliness these years."

"Did Madam Lai tell you all these words?"

"You can't hide it from the eldest lady, yes. Madam Lai specially chose me and other girls from the Zhuangzi who have no foundation to serve, just so that you can have someone who can be at ease in the mansion. We and Huachuan, although compared The older sisters who have been trained by the Hou Mansion over the years seem a bit stupid, but they are the servants of the Hou Mansion after all. Now that the eldest lady returns to the mansion, we have the opportunity to be transferred from Zhuangzi to the mansion. Our whole family is grateful and will serve you faithfully. Missy."

As Chen Xiang said, she stopped squatting and knelt directly on the ground to express her loyalty.

It was rumored outside that the eldest lady was domineering, and on the first day she entered the mansion, she dealt with several old people in the mansion, causing all the servants of the Hou mansion to stay away.

But this is just an opportunity for newcomers like them.

She could tell that the eldest lady was a wealthy man.

If she can gain the trust of the eldest lady, then in the Hou's mansion, they will no longer be newcomers without foundation, but will be able to gain a foothold in the Hou's mansion relying on the eldest lady.

Right now the young lady is alone, and there is no one available, she must make the young lady trust her as soon as possible.

What could be faster and more direct than expressing loyalty?
Cheng Yuguan looked at Chen Xiang, who was kneeling in front of him, with a slightly thin back, and the autumn fragrance-colored beanie made by the maid in the Hou's mansion raised a few bulges.

Her skin tone still has some wheat undertones that have not faded, which shows that she has just entered the deep house from the farm.

Compared with other white and tender girls in the mansion who are more delicate than ordinary ladies, they still have a little bit of "savage air".

Cheng Yu closed her eyes and looked at the glass standing mirror behind Chen Xiang. She also grew up in Cheng's village, but she looks very similar to her mother, so through the somewhat blurred glass mirror, it can be seen that her skin is not tanned Milky white, just like the skin color of the Qiang people in the frontier fortress in the blood of the Huo family.The eyes are the authentic black eyes of the Huo family, Danfeng eyes, and the cheeks are different from Cheng Yulou's round oval face. Her cheeks have obvious edges and corners, which are more heroic.His stature is more like the Huo family's tall and slender, only between the eyebrows and the corners of the nose and mouth, there is a passionate shadow of Hou Ye Cheng Fangchuan.

This study room was arranged by Yuanzheng's mother, and also the former wife who had a hemorrhage when she was born.

From the large table case in the study room, and the glazed standing mirror at the bottom of the wall, it can be seen that Huo Shi was a talented young lady who had a little daughter-in-law back then.

Thinking back to when she first entered this world, the weak voice that hugged her weakly and said goodbye to her, her "mother", Cheng Yu was concerned, and suddenly her thoughts surged.

She wants to take the place of "mother" and take another look at the Hou Mansion.

"It doesn't matter if you are stupid, the most fearful thing is to be confused. When you say loyal, is it loyal to me, Nanny Lai, or the old lady?"

"Slave wait..."

Chen Xiang hurriedly wanted to make a statement, Cheng Yuguan waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't listen to what I said, let's just wait and see."

Saying that, Cheng Yuguan stretched his waist and walked out of the desk.

"Let's go, didn't you say that the flowers in Hou's Mansion are blooming just right? Let's go and see together. There are Huachuan and the others, if you want to go, go out and relax together."

"Yes, Miss!"

For some reason, Chen Xiang agreed excitedly, and then got up neatly.

Obviously the eldest lady did not promise her loyalty, but she felt happy in her heart.

It seemed that the taciturn young lady said a few more words so easily and recklessly, and she also cheered up along with the young lady.

Just like that, after locking the gate of Qingxin Hall, Cheng Yuguan took a group of five or six little girls to go out for the first time in recent days, and went to the back garden of the Hou Mansion.

...

"The fence is sparse and one diameter deep, and the tops of the trees are not yet overcast."

"Okay! These two sentences are good, neat and appropriate to the occasion, the key is that they are very natural and simple, without pretentiousness, good!"

"Yeah, Yulou, it's not good for you to say that you are out of shape. Then the rest of us will feel ashamed."

"Oh? Facing the beautiful scenery of spring, is there any trouble in Yulou?"

Cheng Yuguan took a few boats with Chen Xiang, and before entering the Yimen of the garden, he heard a group of people applauding in the garden, and the center of the topic was naturally Cheng Yulou, the owner of the garden.

Cheng Yulou's voice was gentle and charming, Cheng Yuguan had an impression of Cheng Yulou's voice on the first day he entered the mansion.

It was her who was reciting the poem just now, but it wasn't her voice that was answering now.

"Why else, Mr. Xie hasn't heard about the reputation of our eldest lady of the Hou Mansion? As soon as she came back, she picked out countless mistakes of the madam. The madam blamed herself, and the miss naturally felt depressed."
