The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Isn't this a dowry? I've shown it to you just now, what else do you have to say? Have you been looking for excuses to shirk?"

Cheng Fangchuan lost the steady appearance of the past, and stood opposite Cheng Yuguan anxiously, pointing to the two boxes on the ground and talking.

Seeing that Master Hou was really angry, Yang didn't dare to say anything more, but only looked at the two worriedly, as if they were afraid of conflict between father and daughter.

Chen Xiang tugged at Cheng Yuguan's cuff and shook it lightly, wanting Cheng Yuguan to take a step back.

Cheng Yuguan looked back at her worried expression, smiled reassuringly, then turned back to look at Cheng Hou.

"Father, I'm afraid you have forgotten what your mother was best at when she was alive."

Cheng Yuguan reminded with a sneer.

"what?"

Cheng Fangchuan was puzzled, and then suddenly said, "No wonder you are so philistine, so you followed your mother!"

Cheng Fangchuan seemed to recall some old things about the Huo family, pointed to the two boxes on the ground, and said, "Your mother was born outside the customs, and loved to dance with knives and guns when she was young. Some economic things, these good things are given to her, it is really a secret, she was just used to decorate the front."

When Chen Xiang heard Cheng Hou blurt out these complaining and slandering words, she couldn't help being a little shocked.She knew the temper of the eldest lady, and also knew that although the eldest lady was a junior and had never met the first wife, she loved her mother very much.Moreover, the young lady's temper was deep and shallow, she was a little confused, Chen Xiang couldn't help turning her head slightly to see the young lady's expression.

Chen Xiang clearly saw the anger flashing in the eyes of the young lady, but when he looked again, he showed a smile.

"Father still remembers so much about mother, so he must also remember, what are those economic vulgar things of mother?"

Cheng Yuguan said with a smile, as if he didn't hear his father Cheng Hou's bad words.

Cheng Fangchuan was stunned for a moment, but Mrs. Yang pulled Cheng Fangchuan's cuff, "Master Hou, you forgot that my sister ran the largest stone shop in Beijing back then, from the ornamental stones for tribute to the manufacturing of stones in various places in central Beijing." There are all kinds of brick and stone road materials in the garden. In order to discover a new stone material, my sister went to Jingzhou to search for it. She went there for several months. It was also that time, my sister was injured and then caused dystocia. Do you still remember? Unfortunately, my sister After I left, no one in the mansion was capable of taking over my sister's shop, and now the largest stone shop in central Beijing has already been replaced by someone else."

Yang's family is so familiar, but it makes Cheng Yuguan a little different.Immediately, she sneered and shook her head.

If what she said is true, then she should remember clearly.After all, based on the age of her and Cheng Yulou, when her mother left the house to run around, it was also her "honeymoon period" with Cheng Hou.

Hearing what Yang said, Cheng Hou's eyes were blank, and he was in a trance for a moment. He didn't know what to think of, turned his mind, looked at Cheng Yuguan, and his tone lost the impatience just now.

"What do you want to say, just say it!"

Cheng Yuguan thought of his father being tender and affectionate in the house when his mother was running around, and she lost the patience to pretend to be a joke, so she said directly.

"What I want to say, Mrs. Yang just said it for me. In my mother's dowry, there is this stone shop. When will you give me that shop? When will I promise to make peace for my second sister at the palace banquet."

Hearing Cheng Yuguan's words, Mrs. Yang couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, feeling a little regretful.

Although the shop is not as prosperous as it was back then, it is still a time-honored brand in Beijing. Many old customers recognize this name, and it is also the main income for the mansion.Unexpectedly, the eldest lady has a big appetite, and she doesn't care about the odds and ends in this box, so she wants to take the bottom of the pot and take away the chicken that lays the golden egg.

Cheng Fangchuan naturally knew what Yang thought of.

It can be said that with this shop, the mansion has been able to live so easily these past few years, and there is no need to worry about money like other Marquis families.

Thinking of this, Cheng Fangchuan showed hesitation on his face.

"Why, doesn't father look down on these economic vulgar things? But a shop is still a dowry from mother, you won't be reluctant, will you?"

Cheng Yuguan hit the railway while it was hot.

Cheng Fangchuan's face was a little pale and white.

"Master Hou, this is a big matter..."

Yang shi reminded softly at the side.

"Mrs. Yang, compared with the future of my second sister, what is more important for the Cheng family to have a prince and concubine than for a mere shop? You have to figure it out."

Being told by Cheng Yuguan, Yang smiled softly, "Miss, after all, this is related to the livelihood of the manor, even Lord Hou, cannot make a decision right away, after all, the shop is not an object, hand over as soon as it is said. Besides, Miss is a boudoir, what do you want a shop for? Why don’t Miss pick out anything she likes at my Lingxi Yard, no matter how expensive it is, I won’t feel bad about it. It counts as the top of the shop, how about it?”

After saying this, Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but want to laugh, but Cheng Fangchuan's eyes lit up, "That's right, Yuguan, you are a girl. After Yulou has appointed the fifth prince, it will be your turn soon. You want this shop?" Why? If you don't like the things in this yard, then go to your father's private treasury another day to choose."

Cheng Fangchuan softly coaxed Cheng Yu to close the road.

Cheng Yuguan couldn't bear it after all, and laughed out loud, "Father, I grew up in my ancestral land. I don't know anything else. I learned some skills from my uncle in doing business. Don't worry, you can leave the shop to me." , I will definitely re-operate the shop as the number one in the capital!"

After speaking, Cheng Yu closed his eyes and took a look in the main room, and said a little funnyly, "I didn't look carefully just now, but now I look closely at Mrs. Yang's room, it seems that many things are very familiar. For example, the ebony screen with the marble base , why is it so like the one on my mother’s dowry list? Could it be that I borrowed it and forgot to return it?”

Yang followed Cheng Yuguan's eyes and turned around the room, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Cheng Yuguan was still observing carefully, "Hey, there is also this painting, Appreciating the Snow, is this the famous painting from the previous dynasty on the dowry list?"

Cheng Yuguan said, just about to take out the dowry list to match the couple.

"enough!"

Cheng Hou stopped drinking and stopped Cheng Yuguan.

"The deeds of shops in the mansion are all with your grandmother. I will call you back after I have talked with your grandmother in a while."

Only then was Cheng Yuguan satisfied, stopped to look at the painting, and turned to Cheng Fangchuan.

"Father is Lord Marquis, he promises everything, so he won't just talk about it and fool me. Naturally, I am willing to trust my father. Don't worry, I just want to get back my mother's dowry. When I get the shop contract, even if there is no chance at the palace banquet, I'm going to bother the fourth prince, and I also want to meet the empress to match up with the second sister!"

Speaking of the fourth prince, Yang Shi and Cheng Fangchuan's faces were full of emotions.

...

"Miss, do you really know the fourth prince? I heard that he is so serious and unreasonable that he is called the "black-faced prince"!"

Coming out of Lingxi Court, Chen Xiang asked gossip.

Cheng Yu nodded, "Naturally. I have to thank those mothers Chen, otherwise, how could I go back to Beijing with the fourth prince. Didn't the old lady say that the queen and my mother were close friends in the boudoir in the early years, so Along the way, the Fourth Prince took good care of me. Otherwise, why would he specially ask Brother Zhao Cheng to send me back to the mansion the day I entered Beijing?"

Cheng Yuguan said with some pride.

After hearing Cheng Yuguan's words, Chen Xiang couldn't help but also nodded, "Yes, on the day you returned to the mansion, the fourth prince's guards sent it back in person."

...

"Mother, do you really want to give the shop deed to Yuguan? She's a girl..."

At night, in the main room of Jingyuan Hall, several masters of the mansion gathered together, the old lady, Cheng Fangchuan, Yang Shi, and even Aunt Tong from Hanting Pavilion.

It was Yang who spoke just now.

The old lady was holding the counting beads of Vajra Seeds in her hands, and she sat upright with her eyes closed and meditated, as if she didn't hear Yang's words.

Yang Shi and Cheng Fangchuan sat at the bottom, and seeing the old lady was silent, they looked at each other.

Aunt Tong stood behind the old lady, her hands were still gently beating the old lady's shoulders.

Seeing the room fell silent for a while, Aunt Tong spoke softly.

"Yes, Missy is a girl after all."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shi and Cheng Fangchuan were a little stunned.

The old lady who had her eyes closed also opened them, and pressed Aunt Tong's hand with her dry fingers, "Stop serving, you go and sit down too."

Aunt Tong smiled, then saluted, and half sat down cautiously.

The old lady looked at her son, "Yuguan is a girl after all. I know you are soft-hearted and feel guilty for caring about Yu. I feel that she has treated her badly because she has lived in the country for so many years. But have you seen it these days? She is also a It's alright, how can I suffer? My daughter's family still needs to be disciplined after all, otherwise getting married is not a marriage but an enmity. After this palace banquet, you send Yuguan to me, and I will eat fast and chant Buddha After some time, she will be able to correct her temper."

Cheng Fangchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Mother personally taught me, so I'm naturally relieved. It's just that Yuguan has the Huo family's concern, and the fourth prince..."

"The Huo family is just putting on a show. If they really want to love each other, they won't wait until now. There is also the fourth prince, but I don't believe in meeting each other by chance. After all, Yuguan is the daughter of our Cheng family. Well, as an elder, I teach my children and grandchildren, and even the empress can't intervene at will. Besides, I do this for her own good. There are some basic families in the capital, who can accept someone who is full of economic vulgarity like her before she is married? ? If you don’t correct me, I will make my Cheng family a laughingstock in Beijing.”

"That's right, Lord Hou, the old lady is also the eldest lady's own grandmother, so could she be harmed?"

Yang shi spoke softly from the side.

Cheng Fangchuan struggled for a moment, then nodded dejectedly, "I hope Yuguan is more sensible and not as strong as Huo."

...

Cheng Yuguan didn't know that someone had planned her future somewhere she couldn't see.

...

"Miss, this is the shop deed sent by Nanny Lai herself!"

On the second day, just as Cheng Yuguan woke up, Chen Xiang handed over the shop contract to Cheng Yuguan in surprise.

Cheng Yuguan sat on the bed, rubbed his eyes, and looked out at the sky.

"When did Nanny Lai come? Why did she come? Didn't she hand over such important things to me? Besides, the shop is not a thing. I have to meet the shopkeeper in person."

Cheng Yuguan was wearing a middle coat, and when he saw the deed, he got up in a hurry, wanting to see if Nanny Lai had gone far.

Chen Xiang held Cheng Yuguan back.

"Miss, the deeds are all here, can you still run away? Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone in the house will go to the palace, and you will also go to the palace to have a banquet. Let's talk about these things when we come back from the palace." .”

After hearing this, Cheng Yuguan turned around, glanced at Chen Xiang who was full of smiles, took the deed from her hand, and held it in his hand for a closer look.

"You're right. It's important to get down to business. Put this contract away for me first."

After Cheng Yuguan read it carefully, he handed the deed back to Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment before laughing, "It's so hard for you to get this thing, and besides, this thing is a chicken that only lays golden eggs, so you're so relieved to give it to me?"

Cheng Yuguan bent down to wash, and when he got up to wipe his face, he said nonchalantly, "No matter how big this mansion is, it's only an inch of sky. Where can I hide, I'll put it away for you."

Chen Xiang listened and smiled, "Miss can see it clearly, can't you? We are all a family, but our Qingxintang is not something that outsiders can enter if they want to. This slave must guard the door for you and hide things well." .”

Cheng Yuguan waved his hands, then put on a light robe and went out to practice boxing.

When she was a child, Cheng Yuguan loved the strong and powerful boxing method, but as she got older, she practiced soft Tai Chi instead.

Fortunately, this boxing method has been tested by the patriarch's uncle, who said that it can be practiced because of the combination of hardness and softness.

After Cheng Yuguan practiced boxing, Chen Xiang also put away his things and waited for Cheng Yuguan to practice boxing on the wooden corridor with Huachuan.

"Miss's boxing is slow, and it seems that it is more suitable for slow-moving old people. This should be the elders of the ancestral land who saw that the lady was active, so they specially taught female boxing? It looks good, so it should be useless. "

Hua Chuan couldn't help complaining to Chen Xiang.

"Hush!" Chen Xiang raised his index finger, "Missy is just in the right mood, don't let her hear it."

Huachuan stuck out his tongue mischievously and stopped talking.

After a long while, I couldn't help but said again, "Yesterday, the eldest lady brought back two big boxes of things from Lingxi courtyard. She was happy for a while, and rewarded each of us with a jade ornament. They were all given according to the zodiac. Seeing that the eldest lady usually I didn’t expect that the eldest lady would be so caring. My lamb is so beautiful. I heard that it is an ancient relic from the previous dynasty and it is very valuable. Chen Xiang, take out your pony and show me chant!"

The painting boat touched Chen Xiang who was on the side, but Chen Xiang was so absorbed in his thoughts that he was touched by the painting boat and almost fell down.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yuguan, who had been slowly practicing boxing in the corridor, took a quick step, and supported the heavy Chenxiang across the wooden corridor.

"What are you thinking, be careful!"

Chen Xiang looked up, but looked at Cheng Yuguan and said with a smile.

Huachuan also smiled and pulled Chen Xiang, the eldest lady was in Qingxin Hall, although she was not talkative, she was very kind, so Huachuan and the little girls were not restrained in front of the eldest lady, and followed the eldest lady to tease Chen Xiang.

"That's right, I didn't know, I thought you were thinking of your lover, so fascinated."

Chen Xiang blushed for a moment, then calmed down, and bowed slightly to Cheng Yuguan, "I'm fine, I just lost my mind for a while and disturbed the eldest lady to practice boxing."

Cheng Yuguan waved his hand, "It's okay, I've already practiced almost, let's go back."

Hua Chuan followed Chen Xiang, and went back to the room with the eldest lady to wait on her.

Hua Chuan couldn't help but look at Chen Xiang, "Why are you always so tense, the eldest lady is not the kind of person who waits for a sweetheart, and the rest of us have been with the eldest lady for a few days, and we are obviously more comfortable than the second lady. Miss is generous, I don't know what you've been thinking about all day long."

Chen Xiang looked at the lively painting boat after entering the mansion not long ago, smiled and didn't say much.

"Go and prepare a bathtub for the eldest lady."
