The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 82
"Miss, the third son is here."

Cheng Yuguan was reading the account book at the Banpo Pavilion in Banpo Hall, when suddenly, Liuyun reported.

Cheng Yuguan closed the ledger, only to see Cheng Lang, who was always calm and neat, with a slight worry on his brows.

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but "tsk", and couldn't help being dissatisfied and jealous like an old mother.

Because Cheng Yuguan was a human being in two lifetimes, he looked at Cheng Lang as if he was his brother when he was young.

Now it's easy to raise him to the age of teens, when he grows up and is full of vigor, but because of a "woman", he makes himself sad.

It's good for him to solve his problems at home, and worry about others.

Cheng Yuguan saw Cheng Lang's sad face, but ignored him, and only talked to him about other things.

"I just came back from Bingzhou, and the big horse bandits in Bingzhou have been eliminated. At Xinling Pass, I have already found a shopkeeper to lay the counter, but he is a newcomer after all, and he can't handle it properly. He needs a master to support him. call the shots."

Saying that, Cheng Yu lifted up from the ledger at a moment's notice, put down the brush in his hand, and looked at Cheng Lang.

"When the third cousin came back from Jingzhou, he also said that he didn't like the constraints of the capital. This time, let the third cousin have a chance. How about letting the third cousin go to the Xinling Pass?"

Cheng Yuguan's words were unquestionable, Cheng Lang opened his mouth when he heard the words, but didn't immediately agree.

This was very unusual in the past.

Facing Cheng Yuguan's suspicious eyes, Cheng Lang knew that he couldn't hide anything from his little sister's eyes, so he simply told the truth.

"Little sister, you just came back from Bingzhou, so you don't understand. These days, Xu Zhiyun, who came from the south of Yizhou, jumped up and down, causing dissatisfaction among the people in the capital, but due to the identity of Yizhou Duke Xu, no one pointed it out in person."

With that said, Cheng Lang patted the table.

"Little sister, you don't know, this Qingfeng Building has always been our site, but now it is occupied by Xu Zhiyun, and it has been occupied for three months."

"Sister, tell me, isn't it too much?"

Facing Cheng Lang's furious look, Cheng Yuguan shook his head calmly.

"Qingfenglou is originally a famous building in the capital, and those who are talented will get it. Those who have wealth will also get it."

Seeing Cheng Yuguan so calm, Cheng Lang's expression became even more exaggerated.

"Little sister, we are from the capital, but now we let a newcomer out of the limelight, don't you feel aggrieved?"

What he said was so thoughtless that Liu Yun couldn't listen anymore.

"Third Young Master, you are talking about Cheng Yulou's grievances and thoughts, right? How can Miss be aggrieved by such a thing? Besides, if Miss makes a move, it is impossible for others to snatch it away!"

After Liu Yun's words fell, Cheng Lang's angry aura stagnated for a moment, and then he scratched his head as if suddenly reacting.

"Little sister is amazing, Liu Yun doesn't need you to tell me."

After Cheng Lang said what he said just now, he felt a little embarrassed when facing Cheng Yuguan, and turned to talk to Liu Yun.

Seeing this, Liu Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It's not that she doesn't respect the third son, but that Cheng Lang often short-terms and always finds his own lady's bad luck for outsiders, which is really embarrassing.

Seeing that Liuyun ignored him, Cheng Lang scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at Cheng Yuguan again.

"Little girl, you always have ideas. Why don't you go to Qingfenglou and snatch Qingfenglou back for us? Tomorrow is the Shuo Ri Poetry Club. If the Xiaohe Poetry Club can't hold the poetry meeting in Qingfenglou as scheduled, then rely on With Xu Zhiyun giving alms, after that, everyone in the Xiaohe Poetry Club will probably only recognize Xu Zhiyun and not Cheng Yulou."

As he spoke, Cheng Lang slapped his thigh and said bitterly.

"The ladies and gentlemen of all the aristocratic families in the capital are all snobbish. Seeing that Cheng Yulou's family background is not as good as Xu Zhiyun's now, and the fifth prince is close to Xu Zhiyun, he respects Cheng Yulou and praises Xu Zhiyun's stinky feet instead! , I insist on ordering Qingfenglou for Cheng Yulou, and make them ashamed!"

Cheng Lang knew that playing tricks was useless in front of Cheng Yuguan, so he simply told the whole story about Cheng Yulou.

After finishing speaking, she still stared at Cheng Yuguan with a stern face, trying to make Cheng Yuguan take care of him and wipe his ass like before.

Liu Yun hummed, turned his head angrily, and didn't even want to look at Cheng Lang.

Cheng Yuguan supported his head and thought for a moment.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's appearance, Cheng Lang thought that the younger sister was trying to find a way for him, and became more anxious.

"Little sister, what do you want to do? Can you tell me about it?"

Cheng Yuguan originally wanted to send Cheng Lang out, but now seeing his eagerness, Cheng Yu changed his mind and agreed instead.

"Liuyun, go and write a post to shopkeeper Tong of Qingfeng Building, and tell him that I will reserve all the small theaters on the second and third floors of Qingfeng Building tomorrow. Ask him to make room for me."

As soon as Cheng Yuguan spoke, Liu Yun opened his mouth wide in shock, Cheng Lang was overjoyed after being surprised.

"Miss?"

"Little sister?"

"Great! I knew it!"

Cheng Lang jumped up happily.

"I knew my little girl loved me, loved... that who. After all, I can't write a single word, and there is nothing irreparable between you, so let's take this opportunity and just make up!"

Cheng Lang talked to himself, Cheng Yuguan didn't reply, just looked at Liuyun.

"Go."

The voice is calm and powerful.

When Liu Yun heard the words, the huge doubts in his heart turned into the execution of the young lady's order.

Watching Liu Yun turn around and go to the study to get the little sister's post and go out, Cheng Lang naturally knew that the matter was done, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

"Little sister, you are busy first, I have to go door-to-door to inform everyone, tell everyone that tomorrow is still Qingfenglou, and the Cheng family will be the host!"

After finishing speaking, before Cheng Yuguan could speak, Cheng Lang ran away like a gust of wind.

It was a far cry from the sad look on his face when he came here just now.

Cheng Yuguan was sitting in a pavilion on the Banpo Mountain. In March of Yangchun, the weather was fine. In the pine forest, a gust of spring breeze blew through and lifted the jade belt around Cheng Yuguan's waist.

Cheng Yuguan stroked his sleeve and robe belt, thoughtful, and took some time off.

...

At the Shuo Ri Poetry Club, outstanding young people from all over the city gathered together.

Cheng Yulou's Xiaohe Poetry Club had already gathered many outstanding people, and now Miss Xu Zhiyun, a state official from the south of Yizhou, came to Beijing.

Consciously or unintentionally, they all took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward.

The third and second floors of Qingfeng Building were already full of people sitting around the small stage.

Even in the lobby on the first floor, many Tai students gathered to watch the excitement.

The young people are well aware of the bustling winds and grasses in the capital.

The spacious Qingfeng Building was full of excitement before the poetry meeting began.

Until Cheng Yulou and Princess Fushan reappeared on the small stage on the second floor, everyone was strangely quiet for a moment, and then returned to excitement in an instant.

After all, she is the number one talented woman in the capital.

He was upstaged by Xu Zhiyun a few times before, and it was justified to regain the top spot this time.

Everyone was stunned and slightly disappointed.

After all, the last few times when Xu Zhiyun came forward, the gold reward for the lottery has never been cut off. Everyone's appetite has been heightened, and they are naturally unwilling to be reconciled to "the mediocrity of the first talented woman".

Cheng Yuguan and Fushan knew the faces of everyone.

"This Shuo Ri Poetry Contest, the head of the lottery is a pair of Lei Jin Caifeng and gold hairpins in the collection of the King of Shunjun!"

With a "buzz", Qingfenglou trembled.

It stands to reason that the King of Shunjun can't compete with the golden hairpin, but the King of Shunjun loves to support opera singers and has a good eye. Therefore, the King of Shunjun's jewelry store, the Gold and Silver Building, has become a famous property in the capital.

The head jewelry inside is deeply loved by ladies and gentlemen.

If it is in the collection of King Shunjun, the gold hairpin is needless to say, its style should also be a pleasing weapon.

For a time, everyone's hearts were ups and downs.

Fukuyama Fucheng and Cheng Yulou looked at each other, feeling complacent.

A pair of gold hairpins, isn't it more decent than a hundred taels of gold?

In this comparison, it is obvious who is the nouveau riche from the borderlands.

Just when Cheng Yulou was proud, there was another exclamation at the gate of Qingfenglou.

It turned out to be Xu Zhiyun and the fifth prince Li Ke, who came together.

Fushan's complexion changed, and he couldn't help looking at Cheng Yulou.

However, Cheng Yulou's expression didn't move, as if he didn't see the fifth prince.

"Miss Xu and the Fifth Prince are here, please go upstairs, our poetry meeting will start soon."

Cheng Lang and his brothers had the best position on the side of the small stage on the second floor.

Originally, he had a bright face and enjoyed the compliments from others, but when he saw Xu Zhiyun and the fifth prince, his face immediately sank.

He stood up and greeted loudly.

Well, Cheng Lang is from Bingzhou, and he is not well-known, so he is a new face in the Shuori Poetry Club in Qingfenglou.

At this time, he stood up for Cheng Yulou, which made people look sideways.

"The fourth prince's brother-in-law, Cheng Yuguan's third brother, Cheng Yulou's cousin."

Someone whispered science.

There is no shortage of discerning people in the capital, so even though Cheng Lang is a young man, everyone still took pride in not making a fuss.

Li Ke glanced at Cheng Lang upstairs, lowered his head expressionlessly, and looked at Xu Zhiyun.

"Miss Xu, please!"

The voice is gentle and the gesture is considerate.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyun lowered his head and smiled shyly, and lifted the corner of his skirt to go to the second floor.

As the "protagonists" of Qingfeng Building gathered more and more, the scene became more and more lively.

Seeing the voices of the crowd rising, Cheng Lang got up again.

"Everyone, today is the Shuo Ri Poetry Festival. Caitou Lei, Jin, Caifeng and Jinchai are still waiting for you, so let's invite sister Yulou to write a question!"

Cheng Lang was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, and he spoke in a clear and clear voice, everyone just listened with a smile on face, looked at Cheng Yulou, and listened to the topic of this poetry meeting.

After all, although gossip is good, it is not as real as Jinchai.

However, I heard that Cheng Yuguan didn't agree with Chenghou's mansion earlier, and even came from General Cheng's mansion.

Now it seems that the relationship between Cheng Yuguan and Chenghou's Mansion is unclear, and General Cheng's Mansion should have a good relationship with Chenghou's Mansion from the perspective of the third son Cheng Lang.

After all, these brothers and sisters still have a weak relationship.

Cheng Lang and Cheng Yulou are no more than cousins, and Cheng Lang has repeatedly attracted Cheng Yulou to stand up for Cheng Yulou, and biological siblings are nothing more than that.

There was a lot of discussion.

Cheng Yulou looked at Cheng Lang and smiled, and Cheng Lang was immediately filled with complacency.

This moment of being grateful for helping others made Cheng Lang feel that everything he did was worth it.

"Everyone!..."

"Everyone, everyone, I am bothering you for a moment!"

As soon as Cheng Yulou's words came out, downstairs, the shopkeeper of Qingfenglou came forward and made a loud confession, covering Cheng Yulou's voice.

Although Qingfenglou is a bright building in the capital, the shopkeeper of Qingfenglou is nothing but a low-level.

Cheng Yulou was interrupted many times, the fifth prince Xu Zhiyun just now was fine, and Cheng Lang could bear it too, but even a shopkeeper dared to interrupt the lady's speech.

Cheng Yulou looked at the shopkeeper with a kind smile to show his demeanor, but the inside was already on fire.

"Hey, shopkeeper, there are things and celebrations, let's talk about it later. We are all scholars and poetry clubs right now, waiting for the master to come up with a topic?"

It was Cheng Lang who greeted him again and asked the shopkeeper to get out of the way.

The shopkeeper Tuantuan put on a chubby smiling face and cupped his hands at Cheng Lang on the second floor.

"Mr. Cheng, didn't Lingmei tell you that today is the Spring Festival?"

Seeing Cheng Lang scratching his head, he really didn't know.

Cheng Yulou's face was stiff, and the shopkeeper smiled and explained.

"Cheng Yuguan, Miss Cheng, booked the Qingfeng Building and set up the Yangchun Banquet. No matter whether you are studying or not, and regardless of whether the clothes are beautiful or not, as long as you enter the door and say "Spring", you can take a seat at the Yangchun Banquet. You can eat and go as you want. Yangchun Flowing Water Feast! Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time is approaching, when noon is on the table, and the food and wine are ready, our Yangchun Feast will officially begin!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper's face continued to smile, and he waved his hands, motioning to Cheng Yuguan who was on the side by the window.

"This is the owner of the Flowing Water Spring Banquet. Today, the owner has spent money!"

The shopkeeper's speech was festive and playful, but he explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Above the lobby on the first floor, the people who were originally joining in the fun all cheered at this moment, following the shopkeeper's shout, "My boss is spending money, Miss Cheng is generous!"

Outside the Qingfeng Building, there were crowds of people watching the fun, but they didn't expect such a good thing, they could eat for free, so they all rushed in through the door.

While telling Chunhao, he bowed his hands in the direction of Cheng Yuguan to say Chunhao.

For a while, the human relationship was raging, and even the Tai students were infected, and they confessed to Cheng Yuguan one after another.

Cheng Yulou, Cheng Lang, and even the Fifth Prince, Xu Zhiyun, these aristocratic sons, are sitting on the small stage on the second floor at this moment, completely sitting on wax.

The audience is gone, and no one is willing to participate. This poetry festival, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen!
Facing the current situation, the Fifth Prince laughed angrily.

Take your leave first, bow your hands to Cheng Yuguan, shake your sleeves and leave.

Then, Xu Zhiyun also left with a smile.

The handkerchiefs of several Cheng Yulou in Fucheng Fushan were handed over to the noble ladies, and they were embarrassed to stay, so they bid farewell and left one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the spring feast started lively, but Cheng Lang and Cheng Yulou became completely alone.

"Big sister, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to humiliate me like this!"

After Cheng Yulou finished speaking, he couldn't bear to watch Yangchun Baixue's poetry club turn into a vulgar and lively feast of wine and meat, so he shook his sleeves and covered his face and left.

After Cheng Lang was shocked and angry, all he could do was sneer.

From childhood to adulthood, he can only make it if his younger sister agrees.

What the younger sister doesn't want, like now, becomes a farce.

Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Guanwan with a wry smile.

"Little sister, I know that I've gotten closer to Chenghou's mansion recently, but it seems that they are all cousins. You don't need to spend this money to treat these rough people to a spring feast."

Cheng Lang's gaze swept across the wolf-hungry crowd in the lobby, with obvious contempt in his eyes.

The shopkeeper of Qingfenglou stood beside Cheng Yuguan and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Miss Shu Lang is rich and generous. People can't tell me when she is doing business and being a person. Why is brother so insensitive?"

The shopkeeper's thoughts are only in his heart, and there is still a smile on his face.

Cheng Yuguan was not as relaxed as the shopkeeper watching a play, but looked at Cheng Lang.

"Third brother, the building has been booked, and the meal has been eaten, and you should be on your way. The shopkeeper at Xinling Pass is still waiting for third brother!"
