The female supporting role never believes in fate

"I don't seem to see the third brother very much these days."

When Cheng Lang was mentioned, Cheng Yuguan also realized that he hadn't seen Third Brother much these days except for eating.

"What else can he do? These days, there are many scholars and students who come to Beijing to take the exam. He went to various teahouses and restaurants to make friends."

Chang said helplessly.

Cheng Lang himself doesn't like reading, but he likes to deal with scholars.

These days, they leave the mansion after breakfast, find a meeting place for literati, and stay for a whole day.

However, these people are from all over the world, and they are talented and famous. Cheng Liuchuan felt that the third son of his family, who was lacking in mind, would like to associate more with these young talents, so he didn't stop her and let her go out.

Hearing what his mother said, Cheng Yuguan remembered what the fourth prince said about the fifth prince for some reason.

The fifth prince and Cheng Yulou have been going to the Beijing Poetry Fair recently, and the third brother also likes to go, will they meet?
Later, Cheng Lang gave the answer.

"Little sister, I heard that the Empress has appointed you as a female official?"

Cheng Lang went back to his residence early today, and came to Banpo Hall of Cheng Yuguan to talk.

Cheng Yuguan called Ginkgo to serve tea for the third brother, then sat opposite the third brother, nodding in recognition.

"The Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is coming soon, and my aunt asked me to help. In order to facilitate my work in the palace, she gave me the title of a female official."

Cheng Lang heard the words, but said "Oh", "This is not good."

Cheng Yuguan raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with that? I'm just ordered by my superiors, so who else is in the way?"

Cheng Lang looked anxious, "Of course it's hindering those scholars. When I went out today, the streets and alleys were full of people talking about the excitement in front of Chenghou's mansion yesterday, so naturally they had to mention Yuguan you. Those scholars heard about your methods, and heard that you became a female official. They jumped one by one! They only said that you have no virtue and no merit, so you should not be rewarded. Advocate, you have withdrawn your position!"

Liu Yun listened impatiently, "Third Young Master, what should I do? Miss is rewarded, what's bothering them, they want to take care of it?"

Cheng Lang shook his head, "You don't understand, these days Cheng Yulou's literary name is quite popular in the middle school of Beijing. They heard that Cheng Yulou was wronged, and Yuguan stepped on Cheng Yulou and received a reward. Naturally, they were not convinced. Not only did they want to write a joint letter, but they also wrote poems to spread the stigma of the younger sister!"

Liu Yun frowned upon hearing this, looking worried.

Cheng Yuguan listened, but his face was expressionless.

"Little sister, are you not afraid?"

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "Scholars rebelled and failed for three years. Some people say they are fierce, but they dare not do anything."

Said, as if thinking of something, Cheng Yuguan looked at the third brother.

"Third brother, have you met Cheng Yulou when you go to the Wenhui?"

Cheng Lang's expression flashed unnaturally, and then he nodded, "She and the fifth prince are in a couple, and she is very popular in the capital, and is welcomed by the princes everywhere, so I naturally met her."

In fact, it's more than just encountering.

Cheng Yulou has always been gentle and considerate. If she wants to please someone, she can talk to that person in minutes and leave a good impression.

Otherwise, why is she the core of Xiaohe Poetry Club?

All the noble ladies were able to get together because of Cheng Yulou's exquisite appearance.Otherwise, all the noble ladies have a temper, how could they gather together?
Moreover, Cheng Lang, as a young master of the general's mansion in Beijing, wanted to make friends, and the best places to go were various poetry clubs.

Otherwise, do you want to go to a restaurant to drink?
In that case, General Cheng might break Cheng Lang's leg.

Therefore, these days, Cheng Lang and Cheng Yulou have more intersections than his younger sister Cheng Yuguan.

He was a little ashamed to speak, after all, he should be on the younger sister's side and despise Cheng Yulou's mother and daughter.

But there is no way, the so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, Cheng Lang is not good at being cold-faced in the face of Cheng Yulou's politeness.

Cheng Yuguan had no way of knowing the entanglement in Cheng Lang's heart, so she asked again.

"Third brother, have you seen Cheng Yulou today? How is she different from the past?"

Seeing that the little girl didn't seem to blame him, Cheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and shook his head.

"No, she is still by the side of the fifth prince as before. She also wrote a poem, which aroused everyone's praise!"

As if feeling that his tone was too brisk, Cheng Lang quickly made it up, "Of course, it's useless for her to know how to compose poetry, she's not as good as my little sister."

Cheng Yuguan was a little surprised when he heard what the third brother said, "Third brother, we have different opinions. How is Cheng Yulou? What do you compare with me? Does she live her life and I still have to watch her back?"

Cheng Lang hurriedly waved his hands, "I didn't mean that."

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan didn't ask any more questions.

"Third brother, don't be nervous. I just want to know how yesterday's incident will affect her, so I can make preparations. Since there is nothing wrong, forget it."

After a while, Cheng Lang left, and Liu Yun combed Cheng Yuguan's hair.

"Miss, do you feel that the third son came here today to persuade you to resign from the position of female officer?"

Cheng Yuguan was sorting out the process of the palace banquet in his mind, when he heard Liu Yun's words, he took a moment to react.

"Really? The third brother makes you feel wrong?"

Cheng Yu cared about Siquan at the palace banquet, and just chatted with the third brother just now, and didn't take it seriously.Hearing what Liu Yun said at this moment, he finally came to his senses.

"Don't you think the third son is hiding his words? He has a straight temper, but he speaks intermittently today as if he was afraid that you would be angry. Especially when it comes to Cheng Yulou. The third son has always admired scholars, and Cheng Yulou is also known as the most talented woman in the capital. The third son's heart has been shaken, and he is partial to her, which is unknown."

People have filters for the people who grew up with them, and think that everything they do is normal.

Liu Yun came halfway, always wary of the third young master, after all he has "convicted records".

Cheng Yuguan thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Third brother has a pure heart and a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. Now that we are all grown up and have friends, it is normal to have reservations. He will never harm me."

Hearing what the lady said, Liu Yun also nodded.

"Miss is right. The third young master will be deceived by the weak, but he always distinguishes between close relatives and distant ones."

After the master and servant finished speaking, they put the matter behind them and talked about Cheng Yulou instead.

"Miss, Cheng Yulou looks delicate and weak, but I didn't expect him to be a ruthless person. If I were to get married, I would definitely be ashamed and unable to leave the house for three months. But she is like a normal person."

At this time, Liu Yun was a little afraid of people like Cheng Yulou from the bottom of his heart.

As a woman of the same stature, she must be ruthless enough to show such a calm and breezy appearance.

Cheng Yuguan also nodded when he heard the words, "I hope that after this time, she can learn her lesson and stop messing with me so easily. Otherwise, there will be no room for her next time."

Cheng Yuguan murmured softly.

...

Early the next morning, Cheng Yuguan changed into a neat robe and followed his father out the door.

"Oh? Yuguan's attire is neat and dashing. What are you going to do? Enter the palace with me?"

Cheng Liuchuan looked at Cheng Yuguan behind him suspiciously.

Cheng Yuguan has the status of a female official at this time, and entering the palace at this time is the time when the harem handles palace affairs, and it is normal.

Cheng Jue also looked at Cheng Yuguan.

At this time, the little girl was wearing a bright red riding outfit, neat and elegant, very different from the dignified and delicate appearance of the jacket and skirt in the past.

Cheng Yuguan shook the whip in his hand, "I'm going to ride a horse with the fourth prince today."

Hearing this, all three of the Cheng family smiled knowingly.

"That's right, you are busy every day, so you should go find the fourth prince to get in touch with each other. Although there are some things that are difficult to say as a father, a man also needs a woman to be considerate, and the relationship between the husband and wife is harmonious, so that everything will go smoothly in the future. Don't listen to some old pedantic, self-conceited, when the time comes when the husband and wife are really separated, you will have to bear the hardships of life yourself. You can handle it yourself. Father believes that with your ingenuity, you will be able to handle it well."

When the point was over, Cheng Liuchuan stopped talking and got on his horse.

The two elder brothers also blinked at Cheng Yuguan, "Don't worry, the fourth prince is very self-conscious, the eldest brother and the second brother will watch for you."

The two elder brothers also jumped on their father's horse, and rode away in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Yuguan thought about his father's words, smiled secretly, and got on his horse.

Liu Yun followed the young lady, although he was not very good at reaching out, he learned how to ride a horse, and immediately followed the young lady on the horse, ready to go out.

"Hey, wait for me! I'll go with you!"

Third brother Cheng Lang ran out from the gate, shouting as he ran.

Cheng Yuguan pulled the rein and looked at the third brother.

"Father and the eldest brother and the second brother have already left. Did the third brother get up late?"

When the third brother was really bored, he would go to the military camp with his father for a day or two, so Cheng Yuguan thought that the third brother had missed his father.

Which Cheng Lang waved his hand, "Not father, little sister, I'll be with you."

Cheng Yuguan was even more puzzled, "Third brother, haven't you always kept the fourth prince at arm's length? Today I'm going to find fourth brother."

Cheng Lang nodded firmly, uncharacteristically, "Third brother has nowhere to go today, so I'll go wherever my little sister goes."

Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes.She always felt that the third son was wayward, but she didn't expect to wink at him.

Even the general said, let the young lady get in touch with the fourth prince in a timely manner to lay the foundation for a long life in the future, but the third son came to destroy it.

And it's not too late, he didn't show up until the master and the two sons had left, maybe it was on purpose.

Cheng Yuguan watched the third brother persist and shrugged, "Then third brother, hurry up and prepare the horse, we will go out on horseback today."

Only now did Cheng Lang laugh, and asked the porter to prepare his horses.

When the three of them arrived at the Gongyuan, they saw that it was heavily guarded.

The guards with halberds at the gate guarded the gate, but inside the Gongyuan, it was very lively, and the sound of tinkling and clanging could be heard endlessly.

"Stop coming."

The soldiers set up the stakes to reject the horse, and Cheng Yuguan got off the horse, took out his badge, and said, "I'm here to find the Fourth Prince."

Seeing Cheng Yuguan take out the female officer's badge, the soldiers hurried to the Gongyuan to report to the fourth prince.

When Li Mian came out, all he saw was Cheng Yuguan, Liu Yun, and Cheng Lang in a red riding outfit and a dashing outfit.

"You came."

Li Mian stepped forward, his tone was light, but there was a smile on his mouth, and the bluffing soldiers hurriedly took a second look at Cheng Yuguan.

The person must be identified clearly, and then she will come to the fourth prince, and they will know that this person cannot be offended.

Cheng Yuguan smiled and nodded, "Didn't you say you were here and let me come over? I came to you. I will do long-term work for you today. If you have any work, just order it. I will work hard and redeem your half-day time. After finishing the work, let's go out for a horse race. It is a good time for horse races."

Li Mian almost burst out laughing when he heard what Cheng Yuguan said.

"Okay, you can redeem me by doing the work. Let's go, there is still a shortage of small workers at the masonry. If you finish the work earlier, I can go out earlier."

With that said, Li Mian took a step forward, took Cheng Yuguan's hand naturally, and led her to the tribute courtyard.

"Hey, hey!"

Seeing this, Cheng Lang desperately wanted to stop the two from holding hands, what does it look like in such a large audience.

Li Mian turned around when he heard Cheng Lang's voice, but his eyes no longer smiled at Cheng Yuguan.

"Brother Lang is here too, it's good if you come, doing some work in the Gongyuan is better than you wandering around the capital all day."

Seeing the fourth prince's expression and wink, Cheng Lang immediately calmed down, stopped yelling "Ai ai", but closed his mouth tightly and nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Liu Yun followed behind them and laughed secretly.

Just like the fourth prince, he can restrain the third son.

In fact, the young lady has the same temperament as the fourth prince, but the young lady always keeps the third young master simple-minded, so the third young master can repeatedly bluff in front of the young lady.

Liu Yun really wants Miss to show her majesty once in a while, to let the third son know that his little sister is capable, so he knows that it's not that her sister is good for others, but that she cares about your self-esteem and doesn't like to care about you.

...

A group of people entered the Gongyuan, and sure enough, there were craftsmen repairing everywhere.

Sure enough, Li Mian took Cheng Yuguan to a bricklayer.

In the Gongyuan, there are rows of small single rooms, and the roofs are naturally rows of roof tiles.

Single rooms are generally not too high, and I am afraid that I can barely stand upright in the room.

Several people were in front of the house, and they could easily see the condition of the roof.

Li Mian pointed to the broken tiles on the roof, "The Gongyuan has been in disrepair for a long time, and this simple repair will require repairs everywhere. How, you really want to do small work?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "Naturally."

"Well…"

At this time, Cheng Lang bit his bullet and came out again, "Fourth prince, since this tribute courtyard is a place for examinations, all candidates from all over the world will jump into the dragon's gate here. I'm afraid that such an important place will not be able to be repaired simply, right? We still need major repairs to show the importance the court attaches to the candidates."

Li Mian looked at Cheng Lang with a half-smile, "This place opens every three years, tell me, what is the right way to overhaul it?"

Seeing Li Mian's bad tone, Cheng Lang scratched his head and said nothing more.

He always felt that he had no confidence to face the fourth prince's eyes.

Cheng Yuguan watched with a smile, but didn't show up.

"Come on, put on your gloves and pass me the tile."

As he said that, Li Mian tied the corner of his robe to his waist, turned over on the roof, and changed the tiles himself.

Cheng Lang widened his eyes, looked at the fourth prince, and then looked around.

The family affection of the people around is not surprising, obviously it is not the first time that Li Mian has done it himself.

Cheng Yuguan didn't delay, and put the leather gloves handed over by Li Mian on his hands, picked up the tiles, and imitated the people next to him to go up and lay hands on Li Mian's tiles.

"Miss, let me help you."

Seeing this, Liu Yun quickly rolled up his sleeves and moved closer.

Only Cheng Lang was left, looking at his cuffs embroidered with gold thread and precious stones, and then at Li Mian who was on the roof, froze for a moment.
