The female supporting role never believes in fate

"got engaged?"

"Yeah, Cheng Yulou and the Fifth Prince. His Majesty did not agree with it. He felt that Cheng Yulou was not stable enough and his reputation was too frivolous to be a concubine. It was the Fifth Prince who knelt outside the Qiande Hall for a whole day before His Majesty agreed. .”

Cheng Liuchuan had dinner with his family, and after the meal the family chatted, and finally talked about Cheng Yulou's gift of marriage today.

It turned out that Cheng Yulou was the daughter of Chenghou, and had a high status.

Even though he is the head of the clan, Cheng Liuchuan is still happy to have a prince and concubine in his family.

However, the development of things was somewhat unexpected.

The position of the prince and concubine that Cheng Yulou had worked so hard to plan for, the Cheng family heard that it was nothing special.

It wasn't even more attention-grabbing than the fact that it was going to rain tomorrow.

Seeing that everyone in the family, including the two daughters-in-law who love to gossip on weekdays, seemed to have nothing to do with her, Chang could not help but sigh.

Said to Cheng Liuchuan.

"The mistress is not virtuous, and the daughter she taught is looked down upon by others. Anyway, it is a happy event. Tomorrow, I will back up a generous gift and send it to Chenghou's residence."

Hearing what Chang said, she knew that she did this on purpose for the sake of the patriarch's wife and her consideration for the clansmen.

Cheng Liuchuan patted the hand of Chang's who was also sitting above him beside him.

"Thank you for your hard work. If the family members don't join in the fun and congratulate, the etiquette will be three points higher, and the Yang family will save you from picking trouble."

"Ah."

The husband and wife had a lot of discussions, and the two daughters-in-law were secretly amused and envious when they saw it.

They thought, if they could be like their husband, with one heart and one mind, and accompany them until they grow old, so what?
Who cares about Mrs. Hou, it's just a nice name when you say it out.

The benefits of life, Yang's mother and daughter who only value fame, don't understand at all.

...

On the day when Chang's generous gifts were delivered to Chenghou's Mansion, Chenghou's Mansion was very lively.

On the tall stone steps of Chenghou Mansion, the housekeeper greeted people with a smiling face, wearing a rich and rich robe with flowers, with a shy belly and a happy face.

Going further, bypassing the shadow wall stone, and entering the main hall of Chenghou's mansion, Chenghou and Yang are warmly entertaining guests.

Make sure not to let people think that since your family has become the natal family of the princess, you will put on airs.

As everyone knows, their high heads and unshakable smiles have already made people tired of seeing them crookedly.

"Yang Shigang also told me that it doesn't matter whether you are a prince or concubine. The most important thing is that your daughter and the fifth prince are in love and will eventually get married. Pooh! Who doesn't know that Cheng Yulou is pestering the fifth prince all day, just like Yang's Back then, it was as shameless to pester Cheng Hou as usual? Now that I got what I wanted, the corners of my mouth can't be suppressed. What's more, I think it's another time to climb high branches and climb high branches, so what's the point?"

Some women couldn't understand Yang's complacent look, and curled their lips aside.

The woman beside her patted the woman on the shoulder, signaling to her that the wall has ears, and to keep her voice down.

The woman glanced at Mrs. Yang, but didn't say anything more.

The young women are here, curling their lips at Mingtang.

The old lady didn't give up much.

Although the old lady of Chenghou's mansion is getting old, she still can't see through the world of wealth and honor.

Early in the morning, for this matter, the old lady put on a rich brocade robe embroidered with flowers all over the floor, her silver hair was combed neatly and meticulously, and the wrinkles on her face were all blooming with a smile.

Facing the old sister's compliments and auspicious words, he laughed hahaha from time to time.

All the old ladies were happy to see it, and happily talked with the old lady.

The older people know, the more useless it is to fight with each other.Benefits are the last word.

Saying a few words of favor but not cost is very obedient, and Mrs. Hou who can make Mrs. Hou happy, they are also willing to join in.

After all, it is the honor of the Hou Mansion. They are related to the Hou Mansion, and they will always be useful in the future.

Anyway, it's not my daughter who sells herself for glory!
Jingzhong has a clear view of the relationship between the Fifth Prince and Cheng Yulou.

Of these two people, everyone knows who is the one who catches up.

People who are really good for their daughters will never let their daughters beg others in a humble manner.

The so-called catch up is not business.

The daughter's family is more expensive, and the days to come will be smooth.

If people look down on you from the beginning, there is no hope of turning around in that lifetime.

To be honest, the people who came to the Hou's mansion to congratulate him also had some backgrounds.

It's not that the family can't get rid of the pot, they don't want their precious daughter to be ruined in a hurry.

In a word, no offense!

But Cheng Yulou really turned around and became a prince and concubine.

Although the big guy despised him, he had to admire him.

I admire this mother and daughter, a natural born noble daughter who can keep her face down and flatter people with small intentions and graciousness.

One has become Mrs. Hou, but she can still go out like this.

Regardless of face, let her daughter cling to the fifth prince.

Now, don't care about other people's methods, this black cat and white cat, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat!

The fifth prince, who didn't know that he was being regarded as a "rat", was drinking by himself in the lobby of Chenghou Mansion.

It was Cheng Yulou's begging for a long time, and the fifth prince agreed to come forward to support Cheng Yulou on the day of the engagement today.

After all, it was his fiancée. The fifth prince was impatient with such pleadings, but he still gave Cheng Yulou the dignity.

After all, even though Xu Zhiyun entered the palace, a noble lady like Bai Xiaoling in Beijing would keep away from him if she cared about this matter.

In terms of status, literary talent and appearance, there are not many people in this capital that can compare with Cheng Yulou.

She is also the best of his best.

In front of Cheng Hou, the fifth prince didn't say a word, just drinking in a dull mood.

Even someone with a low EQ like Cheng Hou could see Li Ke's dislike.

He was terrified and puzzled, but he didn't have the courage to get angry.

Because he knows it too.

The fifth prince is what Yang's mother and daughter long for.In addition, he is indeed a son-in-law who rides a dragon and has an extraordinary status.Therefore, Cheng Hou endured to deal with the fifth prince Li Ke, and the reserved appearance in the past disappeared. Instead, he took the initiative to chat and drink with his relatives.

...

An engagement banquet in Chenghou's mansion made everyone think about it.

This is just the Cheng Hou Mansion's own arrangement after the marriage was granted.

After the royal roster was officially sealed, it was even more lively and full of distinguished guests.

Mrs. Lao Hou took the account book and looked at the gift lists sent by all kinds of people in the house these days, feeling happy in her heart.

Point to a person's name on the gift list.

"This old turtledove didn't deal with me a few years ago. These years, the New Year's gifts are all fake. Now, look, is this old guy in a hurry? He even took out a set of red gold hair as a gift. But What a great deal."

As she said that, the old lady flipped through the gift list before putting it on the table, looking calm and breezy.

The words in her mouth revealed her true thoughts.

Sitting at the bottom, Yang's respectful face heard the words, and he knew the elegance by listening to the string songs.

Although my heart hurts, I still endured the bleeding from my heart, looked at my mother aloof, put on airs, looked old and dusty, and had no fame, and still gritted her teeth.

"The mansion has been busy these past few days. My daughter-in-law asked the servant on the door to put the gift list directly into the warehouse, thinking that after a few days, when Yulou's marriage is busy, I will check it carefully. After all, the mansion still needs Isn’t it a return gift? However, since the old lady misses her old friend, the daughter-in-law will ask the housekeeper to open a warehouse and send you the red gold noodles from your hometown!”

The old lady was unhappy when she heard what Yang said in return for the gift and the relationship between people, but instead heard that Yang sent the red gold hair and other valuables to her private treasury, the old lady smiled again and looked at Yang to comfort her.

"At my age, what else can I eat and use? Why don't I leave it for the mansion? At that time, sooner or later, it will still be yours!"

What the old lady said, Yang couldn't help curling her lips inwardly.

In the Hou Mansion, the old lady has always had a lot of selfish desires, and her private small warehouse has always been only accessible.

So far, only the old lady knows what is inside and how many things are there.

The key to the private treasury is often under the eyes of the old lady.

Right now, the old lady is feeling happy, eating tea with her back straightened out.

Inadvertently, the private treasury key at his waist was revealed.

Seeing this, Yang's expression was inexplicable.

...

The fifth prince's engagement is, after all, a big event.

Not only the major merchants in the capital, but also the clothing and jewelry shops made a fortune, and even the Qingfeng Building also made a small profit.

After all, the five princes and concubines in the past often held poetry gatherings in Qingfeng Tower.

Some "talented scholars" who had met the Fifth Prince and Cheng Yulou set up a banquet in Qingfenglou.

Congratulations to the fifth prince on his engagement.

If it hadn't been for the accidental drinking at the end, the wits actually had a fight, I'm afraid it would be a good name.

...

The summer weather is passing day by day, the night is getting darker earlier, and the time for people to go home becomes earlier.

Cheng Yuguan is one who adapts to the times.

Work at sunrise, live in and rest.

Every day after unitary hour, Cheng Yuguan would return home on time to talk and have dinner with everyone.

A big family, the communication of the day is at this time.

Even if you don't speak, just listening to the two sisters-in-law talking about their parents' slander quietly makes people feel very relaxed.

On this day, Cheng Yuguan's carriage went home just after the opening time.

"Is it Miss Cheng? It's urgent, please help!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, with urgency, Cheng Yuguan was leaning in the carriage, staring at Hongxia in the sky in a daze.

At this moment, when he heard someone calling himself in such a hurry, he ordered the carriage to stop.

"Slaves go and have a look."

Cheng Yuguan's life is ordinary, she always has a plan.

Do morning exercises every day, go to the shop to do things, and go home to rest before dark.

Every day is the same.

Unless she was looking for fun for herself and went out for a walk around the city, otherwise, the young lady would snuff out every sign of things every day, and there would be no disturbances at all.

Therefore, at this time, someone called Miss so blatantly, which made Liu Yun smell the gossip.

Once there is any "news", Liu Yun is very excited.

She glanced at the lady with uncontrollable excitement on her face, then lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned half her body out to look.

Cheng Yuguan glanced at Liuyun's appearance at this time, and pulled Liuyun's belt firmly with two fingers, preventing her from "may miss" and fall off the carriage.

Cheng Yuguan is always so thoughtful.

Liu Yun noticed it, looked back, saw that the young lady was so considerate, smiled, and talked to Cheng Yuguan.

"It's the fifth prince's bodyguard, rejoice."

Liu Yun said a surprising name.

Cheng Yuguan frowned.

She subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with the Fifth Prince.

That means trouble.

What's more, I want to break my peaceful life and waste my time for some unworthy people.

Pausing for a moment, Cheng Yu sighed in concern when he saw that the shouting continued.

"Stop the car."

Cheng Yuguan finally spoke, and the coachman stopped the carriage.

"Why did Miss Cheng stop? The servant has been calling you for a long time!"

As the carriage stopped, Suixi ran over out of breath, holding the shaft of the carriage, complaining as soon as she spoke.

He followed the carriage for a long time, and all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers in shops far away were alarmed and came out to watch the excitement.

However, Cheng Yuguan, the protagonist, seems to have no ears, and he can't stop.

"What's up?"

Cheng Yuguan opened his mouth to interrupt Suixi's complaint.

Sui Xi choked for a moment, then took a breath, and continued to speak.

Although she doesn't have much contact with Miss Cheng, Suixi also knows Miss Cheng's temper.

So he didn't care about Miss Cheng's tone, and just talked about his own affairs.

"Miss, there is Jiayi Hongyuan in Bada Hutong. It's newly opened, and they don't know the rules. Detain our master."

As soon as Suixi opened his mouth, it was a shocking melon.

Not waiting for Liu Yun to be shocked from ear to ear, Sui Xi continued.

"Our lord feels ashamed and refuses to reveal his identity. He also doesn't want His Majesty and the Empress to know. His Highness can't save face with the Fourth Prince."

"Isn't this just asking in front of your future sister-in-law?"

As soon as Suixi's thin lips touched, he spoke neatly without stumbling, and just asked Cheng Yu's critical moment.

"Our master knows that you have always been in the Beijing Central Chamber of Commerce, and you have some face. In the Eight Great Hutongs, you only recognize money but not people. Our master just doesn't want to reveal your identity. I can only ask you to "redeem me"!"

Suixi said it with a natural face, not at all ashamed, but thought it was a normal thing.

Cheng Yuguan was speechless, and after a long while, under the urging of Suixi, he reluctantly opened his mouth.

"I'm a girl, so it's inconvenient to go to Bada Hutong. Liuyun, take my post and give it to Suixi."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuguan looked at Suixi.

"Take my post and go, and see the words. If it's a small thing that doesn't say anything, a post will naturally be easy to talk about. If it's a serious matter, it won't work if I go, it's just a waste of time."

With quick eyes and hands, Liuyun took out Cheng Yuguan's post from the hidden compartment of the carriage, and handed it to Suixi.

After Suixi was surprised, there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

Before he could speak with joy, Cheng Yuguan spoke again.

"It must be too embarrassing for the fifth prince to be trapped in the Bada Hutong. The fifth prince doesn't want me, his sister-in-law, to see it with my own eyes."

Cheng Yuguan got off the donkey along the slope, and took the initiative to act as a "sister-in-law".

"If you're a libertine, go to Bada Hutong for recreation, as a sister-in-law, I can't say anything."

"But now the fifth prince is also engaged. Even if you don't give the Yue family face, you should respect it."

"In some dirty places, people joke around on weekdays, as if the big guys are going to join in the fun. In fact, those who really behave are just talking about it. They never go to the Bada Hutong for real fun."

"The fifth prince is not young, so don't live more and more unruly. You still have to be decent. Otherwise, what is the difference with that mud that doesn't hang on the wall?"

After taking care of himself, Cheng Yuguan sat back in the carriage.

"Let's go."

Following Cheng Yuguan's plain voice, the wheels of the carriage turned, and after a while, only Sui Xi's mouth was wide open, with a shocked expression on his face.

After a long while, Suixi couldn't help muttering, "You're really dirty."
