The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Brother Cheng, you are finally back, take a rest at Minger Academy, let's go fishing in the Wuzhang River outside the city."

Cheng's stone shop, Wang Qin walked through the front hall as usual, came to the backyard with ease, and greeted loudly.

As soon as Wang Qin entered the backyard, he saw Cheng Yuguan, who had always been hiding in the house in the past few days, was in the yard.

Walking to Cheng Yuguan's desk, he saw a stack of local chronicles and ledgers in front of Cheng Yuguan.

"Twice out of the three times I've seen Miss Cheng busy, she's always so diligent, it really makes me feel ashamed."

Cheng Yuguan closed the local chronicles of Yu County in his hand and looked at the scholar in front of him.

Two years later, the somewhat reckless scholar at the time has grown quite a bit taller, wearing a light-colored lanthanum shirt all year round, with a cloth scarf of the same color covering his head, with wide-open eyebrows and a gentle and smiling appearance.

He and his third cousin, Cheng Lang, have a culture and a martial arts, but they hit it off unexpectedly.

A few days ago, the third cousin Cheng Lang went to Yangzhou to check the accounts of the branch. He just came back yesterday, and today Wang Qin came to the door.

"My cousin is in the clan, and I'll be here in a while. Wang Gongzi wait a moment."

With that said, Cheng Yuguan put away the books on the table and put them on his arms, turned around and prepared to go back to the house to make room for Wang Qin and his cousin.

"Hey," Wang Qin called Cheng Yuguan, "Miss Cheng doesn't need to be so polite, the sun is finally out today, Miss Cheng can sit here for a while, I will leave after I have a word with Brother Cheng."

Cheng Yuguan turned back with the book in his arms, but before he could speak, Cheng Lang walked out of the room and laughed.

"Brother Qin also told my little sister not to be so polite. We have been in Tongcheng for almost two years, and you are still called "Miss Cheng"? I think you are just right."

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but glared at Cheng Lang when he heard third cousin teasing him.

However, Wang Qin blushed slightly and scratched his head, "This is not good for Meng Lang..."

Cheng Lang stepped forward and embraced the brother who had been dating for two years, "You know me, my sister is your sister, why don't you just call me "Little Sister"."

Cheng Lang suggested, and Wang Qin waved his hands again and again, "It's not right, it's better to call Miss Cheng."

Seeing that Wang Qin was uncomfortable, Cheng Yuguan glared at the third cousin, "Young Master Wang is shy, third brother stop joking. You sit down and talk, I'm going into the room."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two of them to say anything else, they went straight back to their room.

Cheng Yuguan turned and entered the room, and Wang Qin dared to stare at the back.

As Wang Qin's good friend, how could Cheng Lang not know what Wang Qin was thinking.But for one thing, my little sister is quiet and deep, and likes to dress up in a solemn and generous appearance. To put it bluntly, it gives people a sense of distance. The first impression of ordinary people is that they can only look at it from a distance.Wang Qin is usually fine, he is more reserved when facing women, so for nearly two years, the two of them still greeted each other politely every time they met, and Cheng Lang looked on, feeling tired for the two of them,
Patting Wang Qin on the shoulder, signaling him to sit down, Wang Qin looked away and smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Cheng Lang picked up the teapot on the stove and poured Wang Qin a cup of hot tea.

Although it was already March in Yangchun, the weather warmed up very slowly, and the air was chilly. Wang Qin picked up hot tea and held it in his hand, and gradually regained his senses.

"Brother Cheng, I came here today to ask you to go fishing together. The river outside the city has just melted, and the cold water fish is the time to be delicious."

Jingzhou is much warmer than Beidi, but because it is close to Yuzhou, there will be cold currents in winter.In a cold winter, the river will freeze.

Hearing about fishing, Cheng Lang was naturally happy.He likes to be lively. He has been in Jingzhou for two years and made some friends locally. The best friend is naturally Wang Qin who met by accident.

"Okay, let's go fishing together tomorrow. I'll ask my little sister to see if she will go. It's okay in the Northland, but my little sister is afraid of winter in Tongcheng. She hasn't been out much for a month or two. Maybe she is also willing to go, and who else will go, I will see how to arrange it."

When Wang Qin heard this, he was of course happy. He counted the people who went with Minger tomorrow, "There are only a few classmates from the academy, Dong Wenping and Zou Yunming."

Hearing Dong Wenping's name, Cheng Lang frowned.

Dong Wenping's family is a squire in Tongcheng, and he is a little arrogant. Except for Wang Qin and a few students who are praised by the academy master, he doesn't pay attention to anyone.

Cheng Lang and Cheng Yuguan came to Tongcheng from the north to do business, and everyone only knew that their Cheng family had a good relationship with the local defense, but nothing else was known.

Dong Wenping felt that the Cheng family was nothing more than a merchant, and they played monsters in front of Cheng Lang many times.If it wasn't for Wang Qin's face, Cheng Lang wouldn't even say a word to Dong Wenping.

"Brother Dong is just a little arrogant, but he is not a bad person. I will come with you tomorrow, and the young master of Cao's family in Tongcheng Xuezheng, who was brought by Brother Dong. The imperial examination is about to take place, and Brother Dong has worked hard. You and Miss Cheng are here If you are doing stone business in Tongcheng, you can also make friends with the local Cao Jiaoyu. Cao Jiaoyu has many classmates and friends in various places in Jingzhou. They write poems and plaques for the new homes of many wealthy merchants every year. .”

Seeing Wang Qin thinking for himself, Cheng Lang thought for a moment and agreed decisively.

They're all men, just have a bigger heart.If you are a little unhappy, just pretend you didn't see it, the business is important.But that's fine for my little sister, she doesn't need to be wronged.

Cheng Lang made up his mind.

The next day, Cheng Lang tidied up and went out of the city. Cheng Yuguan sat behind the shop as usual.

"Brother Cheng!"

Going north out of the city, within five miles, there is a river flowing around the mountain. The water of the river is not deep, but it is crystal clear.Maybe it's because the surface of the river is civilized, and from time to time, a small fish swims past the bottom of the river, which makes people very jealous in the eyes of fishermen.

Wang Qin greeted Cheng Lang on the riverside.

They came out in a carriage, and Cheng Lang rode a horse, so they separated and did not meet until they reached the river.

A group of more than a dozen people by the river saw Cheng Lang bring someone over on horseback, and some of them curled their lips.

"Brother Wang."

Cheng Lang pretended not to see someone curl his lips, got off his horse, walked up to Wang Qin and said.

Naturally, Wang Qin didn't see the emotions of the people behind him. Seeing Cheng Lang coming by himself, although he was a little disappointed, he adjusted quickly, with a smile on his face, "Brother Cheng, come quickly, the fine scale fish in this river is delicious in spring, Let's catch a few more today."

Cheng Lang had a smile on his face, and was about to speak, but he heard someone muttering beside him, "Warrior from the north, what kind of flavor do you know, do you know what is called fine scale fish?"

Cheng Lang saw that he was about to speak, and Wang Qin hurriedly helped him out, "Brother Dong, don't talk like that, everyone is in Tongcheng, and we will all be brothers when we go out in the future. Brother Cheng, Brother Dong just speaks straight, and there is nothing evil about it."

Wang Qin comforted each other, Dong Wenping curled his lips, and Cheng Lang chuckled, no one looked down on anyone.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wang Qin hurriedly introduced to everyone, "Brother Cheng, this is Cao Jiaoyu's son Cao Shiyou, beside him is the son of Jingzhou Xuezheng, Liu Zeming, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu came from the capital with his father, maybe I can have something in common with you."

Wang Qin actively introduced his friends to Cheng Hou.

Cao Shiyou just nodded slightly.Cao Jiaoyu has no rank or rank, but he is highly sought after by scholars and county officials and gentry in the local area. It is because there are so many classmates and friends back then, and some even became officials of the Six Departments of Beijing.

Right now Liu Zeming Liu Gongzi's father, Liu Xuezheng, is serving as Jingzhou Xuezheng from the place below the Jingzhong Hall official.

In this way, Cao Shiyou is naturally more arrogant, and he disdains to talk to Cheng Lang, a businessman.

Although Liu Zeming is a nobleman from the capital, he is the most peaceful. Seeing Cheng Lang's dignified appearance and the majestic horses sitting under him, he couldn't help but chat, "I heard that Brother Cheng is also from the North, and his hometown is where?"

Cheng Lang has been doing business in various places for these years, so he naturally knows that people in bridal sedan chairs can still say a few words on the scene.

"My hometown, Bingzhou, is not as prosperous as the capital city."

"Bingzhou?"

Hearing Bingzhou, Liu Zeming's heart moved.

General Cheng, who has been very popular in Beijing for the past two years, is from Bingzhou. Cheng Lang is also surnamed Cheng. I don't know how the two are related.

I wanted to ask another question, but Cao Shiyou walked up to Liu Zeming, "Brother Liu, the Cheng family's stone shop is right in the city, so you don't have to rush if you want to chat. But right now, the fine-scaled fish are swimming away one by one. It would be a pity to set up a fishing rod."

Cao Shiyou said so, Liu Zeming had no choice but to put away the idea of ​​chatting and inquiring, and went fishing first.

Nowadays, apart from the capital city, there are no entertainment projects in other places.Literati are nothing more than poetry clubs, where friends of three or five gather together to recite poems against each other, arty, warriors love to hunt, and go out of the city to chase after them on horseback.In addition, some leisurely people love fishing, and this hobby does not distinguish between civil and military.A fishing rod can pass the whole day, from top to bottom, everyone loves it.

Soon, several people set up the fishing rods, stopped talking, and sent the servants away, so as not to affect their fishing.

Fishing is a job that requires patience. Wang Qin is lucky today, maybe because he is calm, so he catches fish from time to time, and Cheng Lang occasionally catches one, and he is also very contented.Only Dong Wenping, since he came here, has not fished yet, and his heart is getting more and more anxious.

He was originally sitting between Cao Shiyou and Wang Qin, but when he saw Wang Qin happily yelling and caught another fish, he became so cruel that he took the fishing rod and threw it at Wang Qin.

Cheng Lang was watching Wang Qin showing off the fish in his hand. He was right behind Wang Qin, and saw a fishing rod with a shining hook swinging towards Wang Qin. If he was not careful, the sharp hook would snap Throw it on Wang Qin.

If it's just an injury, it's fine. If it gets hooked to the head and disfigured, it will be a major delay in Wang Qin's imperial examination.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Cheng Lang pulled Wang Qin towards him. In a hurry, the buckets containing the fish Wang Qin caught were knocked over.

Wang Qin went in without knowing it, and said "Ouch", which attracted the attention of Cao Shiyou and Liu Zeming next to him.

As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw the hook on Dong Wenping's fishing rod gleaming coldly, passing over Wang Qin's head, and managed to miss the hook.

The two couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his stick, Dong Wenping put away the look on his face, quickly put away the hook, and looked at Wang Qin worriedly, "Brother Wang, are you doing well? It's all my fault. I am impatient, I am too anxious to throw the pole, I still have an astragalus at home, it is an old medicine for many years, I will send it to you when I go back, to make up for the frightened spirit just now."

Wang Qin's family is an ordinary scholarly family, and his father is also a scholar. He opened a private school for children.My mother is in poor health and needs herbs such as Astragalus to replenish Qi all the year round.

When Dong Wenping said that, except for Liu Zeming, who didn't know what to do, the few people who were fine at first couldn't help frowning.

Dong Wenping's normal yin and yang is nothing but this time, it's okay to make a mistake, but he didn't sincerely apologize after the mistake, but he was still yin and yang, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Lang could bear Dong Wenping's disdain for him, but at worst he would not have any contact with him.But when he said that about Wang Qin, Cheng Lang couldn't bear his temper.

Taking a step forward, blocking Wang Qin behind, Cheng Lang glared at Dong Wenping, "Apologize to Brother Qin!"

However, Dong Wenping still acted foolishly, "I didn't do it on purpose, besides, didn't I apologize just now? Wang Qin? What do you think?"

Wang Qin subconsciously persuaded Cheng Lang, "Forget it, Brother Cheng, am I okay?"

Cheng Lang turned his head back, "You didn't see that, the fishhook brushed against your head, if it hit your ear and you lost a piece of meat, how can you take the imperial examination?"

Only then did Wang Qin get scared.

Glancing at Dong Wenping, he still had a smiling face, as if you could do anything to me, Wang Qin sighed, "Forget it, brother Cheng. I owe it to you, don't worry, I'll catch a few more in a while." , take it back for you. Delicious food comes first, don’t get upset about others.”

Hearing what Wang Qin said, Cheng Lang took a deep breath and stopped making any further fuss.

If it was near Chengjia Village, she would have to punch him in the face to let that person know who can't afford to mess with him.But the Dong family is a local squire, he can leave Tongcheng by beating someone, but the Wang family still has to live in Tongcheng.Especially Father Wang's private school had to recruit students locally, and people might not recognize him if he left Tongcheng to go elsewhere.

Dong Wenping is also interested in this point. He doesn't provoke someone with status like the Cao family. He doesn't provoke someone as powerful and rich as Cheng Lang. .

After every bullying, he would pretend not to see it, and then give some good things to make up for it.It was clearly a slap in the face for a sweet date.

If it wasn't for Wang Qin's respect for learning, which should be valued by the teachings, Wang Qin might not be able to receive such a hypocritical apology.

Seeing that Cheng Lang really let go of his fist, Dong Wenping let out a smirk, and he knew that he was just a businessman, and he just pretended to stand up for Wang Qin.

The more complacent Dong Wenping was, the more he couldn't control his words, "Wang Qin, don't stop Cheng Lang next time, who would he dare to touch? A businessman who dares to do something while mixing with me and other scholars? Don't put your A set of Jianghu habits is brought over, and they are all discerning people, who is afraid of fake tricks? If you have the ability, try to really move me?"

Tongcheng is a small place, Dong Wenping grew up so big, he has never been out of Tongcheng, for the Dong family's sake, no one really cares about Dong Wenping.

Today, a "noble son" from the capital came over, and Dong Wenping became impatient, wanting to show his Dong family's status in Tongcheng in front of Liu Zeming.So he became more arrogant than usual.

But this time Dong Wenping can be regarded as messing with the wrong person.Cheng Lang grew up in Bingzhou, where the folk customs are tough, and the people there believe in the power of fists.

Hearing Dong Wenping's sarcasm again, Cheng Lang broke free from Wang Qin with all his strength, and punched Dong Wenping under him.

Dong Wenping's servant wanted to come over, but was stopped by Cheng's family, and he could only watch his son screaming and screaming after being beaten.

Wang Qin, Cao Shiyou, and Liu Zeming were stunned for a moment before realizing that they hurried up to stop them.
