The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Here, these are reserved for you, Yuzhou Stone Book, Xuzhou Stone Book, Liangzhou Stone Book."

The Ninghui Hall was still as deserted as ever. After entering the hall, Li Mian skillfully found several stone books from the rows of bookshelves on the roof and handed them to Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan took it over and couldn't wait to open it. The stone shop is her root, and now it has spread all over Bingzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, Yangzhou. up.From the high-ranking officials to the common people, the Cheng family has all kinds of stone materials, and that is the other ability of her stone shop to make a living besides delivering goods.

"Just like that?"

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was fascinated by flipping through it, Li Mian couldn't help asking.

"Of course!" Cheng Yuguan raised his head and looked at Li Mian, "Business is not about buying and selling by force. Our shop has its own mine, so it can be cheap and good, so that others can build houses and gardens first. It’s time to think of Cheng’s stone shop.”

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was in high spirits when he talked about business, Li Mian couldn't help but smile, "Since it's important, don't rush to look it up, you can take it back and take a closer look."

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "I know the rules of Ninghui Palace. Books cannot be borrowed at will. Otherwise, one person will have one copy and two copies, and this hall will be empty in the future. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the palace, so I will just copy it once."

Li Mian nodded after hearing what Cheng Yuguan said, "It's up to you, I'll copy it with you."

After saying that, the two of them went to the west side of the house, where it was still the same as two years ago, with two desks placed opposite each other.

Cheng Yuguan put down a few books, poured a few drops of water into the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

Li Mian did the same.

"Fourth brother, just go to busy with official business, don't need to accompany me specially. It's not the first time for me to enter the palace."

Cheng Yuguan looked at Li Mian on the opposite side and said.

Li Mian raised his head with a smile, and looked at Cheng Yuguan who was opposite, "No, I just came back from Jingzhou, so I'd better rest for a few days, otherwise, wouldn't my brothers be too free?"

Cheng Yuguan didn't think about the competition and targeting among the princes, but looked at Li Mian who was smiling at this moment.

She has always felt that Li Mian has sharp edges and corners. When he is silent, his thin lips are tightly closed, and his aura is repellent.

Now Li Mian has suddenly let go of his coldness in front of outsiders in the past, and smiled gently. When looking at people, his eyes are focused and soft, which matches the gentle and tough temperament of the empress, and there is an indescribable charm.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan staring at him in a daze, Li Mian snickered for a moment, took down the brush from the shelf with one hand, and tapped lightly on the table with the other hand.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this voice, he finally came back to his senses.

"Stay still, Mo is going to do it."

Li Mian casually joked while bowing his head to copy the stone manual.

Cheng Yuguan curled his lips subconsciously when he heard this, and reached for the brush on the pen holder, but it took him twice before he got it.

Cheng Yuguan has always had a paralyzed face and agitated heart.

At this time, she looked normal, but her heart was beating like a drum, and her hands were not in control. When she calmed down, she pinched the brush accurately, dipped it in the ink, and wrote the first stroke on the paper, the word "Yuzhou" in Yuzhou. I just wrote poorly, and I barely wrote it down. The words that were originally fairly neat were instantly written like tofu cubes, which were extremely huge.

"Heh!" Li Mian chuckled, obviously seeing Cheng Yuguan's trembling and disorganized appearance.

"Cough!" Cheng Yuguan coughed and muttered softly as if regaining his face, "The word "Yu" has too many strokes."

Li Mian didn't continue to laugh at her, nor did he continue to tease her, lest someone become angry, like the time at the Tongcheng station, and get angry at himself.

That was really an excuse, really angry, this was the first time Li Mian was angered by someone, and he was almost overwhelmed.No matter what I say this time, I can't provoke her any more.

Seeing Li Mian concentrating on copying, Cheng Yuguan was relieved, and his writing gradually stabilized.

Half an hour later, Cheng Yuguan closed his pen and looked at the transcript in front of him. Except for the abnormally large four characters of the name "Yuzhou Stone Book", everything else was fine.

Cheng Yuguan looked at it for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Copy it? Just right, I've finished it here too."

Cheng Yuguan raised his head, and found that Li Mian had already finished brushing his pen and was watching her from the opposite side, waiting for her to appreciate his calligraphy.

"Ah, I'm done copying, fourth brother writes so fast!" After blushing for a moment, Cheng Yuguan reached out to take the copybook handed over by Li Mian.

"Let's go upstairs and choose a place. I'll take you around the capital tomorrow."

Overlooking the capital from the attic, it is still as shocking and prosperous as ever.

"The sixth day of June is the June Festival. There are banquets in the palace. The empress must be busy. Aren't you and I staying in the palace to help?"

Cheng Yuguan took the "telescope" handed over by Li Mian, and chatted while looking for beautiful scenery around the capital.

While moving in the direction of Cheng Yuguan, Li Mian replied, "There are six bureaus and eight divisions in the palace, who specialize in banquets. They are all old people. Let's go, but they are tied up instead. And on June Festival, the palace in the capital Banquet is just a title, the real lively ones are still among the people. Xiangguo Temple's festival banquet is the most lively, with various names, and the nobles in Beijing have to join in the fun when they enter the palace."

When Li Mian mentioned Xiangguo Temple, Cheng Yuguan's telescope went to Xiangguo Temple.

It is located in the east of the capital, covering a very large area. Cheng Yuguan looked east from the Ninghui Hall, and there was a green and lush place in four directions, with several palaces and double eaves and roofs exposed. There is the magnificent Xiangguo Temple .

"Okay, tomorrow we'll go to Xiangguo Temple to join in the fun."

Cheng Yu nodded.

In Tongcheng, apart from going out of the city to climb the mountain, there is no place to visit at all, such as the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

When he came to the capital, the most prosperous place in Daqian, Cheng Yuguan naturally wanted to have some fun.

Playing is not just for children.

"Then you rest early today, and tomorrow morning, let's go to the Xiangguo Temple morning market!"

Li Mian made a final decision.

...

The capital may not have a population of several 10, and every place in the city is full of fireworks.

Xiangguo Temple occupies a vast area, and the wide square in front of the many temples is naturally the best place for the market.

From the gate to the double-deep courtyard square, sundries, cats, dogs, eagles and dogs are all on sale. Of course, the most lively thing is the special cakes and snacks. There are zaju troupes, so even on weekdays, Xiangguo Temple is very lively.

Not to mention that it will be June Festival in two days, and those who go in to play and buy things are crowded with each other.

Cheng Yuguan held a bag of roasted pork, and Li Mian next to him held a bag of plums in his hand. The two walked through the crowd. Behind them, Lin Jing and Liu Yun were already wrapped in bags.

Lin Jing, in particular, held it in her hand, hung it on her shoulder, and carried a complicated burden.

"Brother Lin, why don't I get some for you."

Liu Yun was a little embarrassed.

Lin Jing shook her head, "No need, you girls are greedy when you go shopping, if you have these, how can you eat? It's not good to stare at others. Eat quickly, seeing how energetic His Highness and Ms. Cheng are, I'm afraid they will kill Xiangguo You can only stop after walking through the temple!"

Lin Jing spoke in a bright and open manner, Liu Yun shyly stuffed a cheese dumpling in his hand into his mouth.

This Beijing delicacy is too tempting, and Liu Yun is just like his own lady, with the same package, he can't stop eating, and his hands are full.

"Brother Lin, you eat too!"

Liu Yun was still embarrassed, so he took the initiative to hand the dumpling in his hand to Lin Jing's mouth, "This little thing is delicious, Brother Lin, try it. I'm embarrassed to eat it alone, let's eat it together."

Lin Jing was holding a lot of things in both hands, upon hearing this, she could only open her mouth, "I ate it, so you too!"

While chewing something, while persuading Liu Yun to eat by himself, Liu Yun chuckled and put it in his mouth safely.

In front of them were Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian. Hearing the movement behind them, Li Mian suddenly handed the plum in his hand to Cheng Yuguan's mouth, "The roasted meat is too dry, eat a plum to make you saliva!"

Cheng Yu closed his eyes and was still shaking around the stalls. When he heard the words, he subconsciously put his mouth in his mouth. While eating, he pointed to the eagle and dog stall beside him, "Fourth brother, that eagle is so handsome, can it be supported? It looks so majestic." Ah it!"

The eagle's sharp eyes and handsome figure were in Cheng Yuguan's heart, and her eyes shone brightly.

Li Mian shook his head, "There are even more powerful eagles in the palace. You can take a look here. If you buy this eagle back, unless you lock it with a chain for the rest of its life, it will only recognize one owner for a lifetime. Once it is free, it will fly back to its owner." around."

After hearing this, Cheng Yuguan stopped thinking about buying it, and looked back at Li Mian, "Since there is one in the palace, let's go back, and fourth brother will take me to have a look."

Li Mian nodded, and handed over another plum with a natural expression, and Cheng Yuguan subconsciously put it in his mouth.

It took a while for Cheng Yuguan to react, and his face flushed instantly.

"Behind the second entrance yard, there is a seller of literati calligraphy and painting. Let's go and have a look. If we are lucky, we can meet some famous artists. In the third entrance, the Xiangguo Temple is not open to the public. We can go there and have a quiet meal. After a short rest, the afternoon show will start, there are famous music troupes attracting popularity in the past two days, it is worth watching."

Li Mian walked while talking, and it took a while to realize that Cheng Yuguan was stunned and did not follow.

Li Mian turned around, and the person who always wore a black Taoist robe turned out to be wearing a blue round collar robe today, which was similar to Cheng Yuguan's daily favorite color, and the two of them looked like a couple in a couple's outfit.

"Why are you standing there, come on!"

Li Mian stretched out an arm and waved at Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan took a deep breath before moving forward.

Maybe she was thinking too much, Cheng Yu hinted to himself with concern.

"Let's go, fourth brother!"

Cheng Yuguan deliberately emphasized the word "fourth brother", but Li Mian didn't seem to understand the meaning of the words, and took advantage of Cheng Yuguan's hand, but only held the wrist. Cheng Yuguan of the eyes.

"There are too many people, catch these, don't get lost."

After speaking, he took Cheng Yuguan to Erjin's calligraphy and painting booth.

Cheng Yuguan followed subconsciously again, feeling strange in his heart.

But Liu Yun smiled "hehe", followed behind the young lady, exchanging glances with Lin Jing from time to time, the eyes were full of smiles.

The Xiangguo Temple was lively, and the school grounds in Xicheng were also very lively. On the second day after going to Xiangguo Temple, Li Mian made an appointment with Cheng Yuguan to watch the horse race in Xicheng.

In this way, on the third day and the fourth day, the program continued, until the day of June Festival, Cheng Yuguan followed the empress and received the guests from the palace. She was still in a daze. These days, she seemed to be playing crazy. She has never been like this, can play so freely, don't care about anything, don't have to think about the day.

"Yuguan, this is the British princess, come and see me soon!"

Cheng Yuguan was in a trance, and the empress emphasized her tone, only then did Cheng Yuguan regain his senses.

A kind old woman with a round face and silver hair in front of her was looking at her with a smile.

Cheng Yuguan hurriedly saluted, "Yuguan has met the Duke's wife."

"Okay, okay! I like this child at first glance, with the spirit of my mother when she was young!"

Mrs. Wei, the British princess, held Cheng Yuguan's hand, and said to the queen with a smile.

The queen was also happy when she heard it. She likes to hear that Yuguan is like her, and she couldn't close her mouth at the moment, "Where, Yuguan is much better than me and her mother back then."

The two people with the highest status in the inner palace were exchanging greetings. In the main hall, other people also focused their attention on the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. By the way, they also paid attention to Cheng Yuguan.

"I heard that Miss Cheng has a straightforward temper, which suits my taste. Ma'am, you have to let go later and let me get closer to Miss Cheng."

Behind the empress, Concubine Shu, who had always needed to avoid suspicion in front of married women, suddenly interjected.

The queen, the Duke's wife, and Cheng Yuguan all looked over, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Empress, don't misunderstand, it's that girl in Yulou. She insisted that she wrote a poem and wanted to give it to me. She also said that Cheng Yuguan is her eldest sister. She hasn't seen her for many days after entering the palace, and she wants to see her. "

"Yuguan has already succeeded. It's inconvenient for Yulou, a younger sister, to look for her at this time. If she wants to, go to General Cheng's mansion to pass the sign."

Concubine Shu smiled, but the queen bluntly refused.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty said yes, so forget it."

The Duchess of England was present, and soon the Juneteenth feast began.

The summer sun is scorching, so the banquet is held in the main hall of Fengyi Palace.

Icebergs are placed at the four corners here, and the incense fans are blowing lightly, and the cold air is transmitted into the house. When you come in from the outside, there is a feeling of ice and fire.

Cheng Yuguan was put in front of the British lady by the empress, and talked with the old lady.Surrounding the Duchess of England are all super-grade duchesses, who are also older. Cheng Yuguan is not always taciturn in front of the gentle old man, but has a shy smile on his face, listening to the ladies.

Cheng Yuguan grew up with a nanny since he was a child, and he never showed any face to the old man, so he could only face him shyly.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's appearance, the ladies smiled and nodded.

They are all old people who have been around for many years. They have watched and tried so many tricks all their lives, and when they get old, what they like most is the juniors with true temperament.

Otherwise, how can we say that the ancestor loves monkeys?

The old ancestors have seen enough of the ones with scheming eyes, and what they like most is the straightforward ones.

Cheng Yuguan made a mistake and never liked acting to whitewash it, which suits the appetite of the old ladies.
