The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 5 Black Hand
"Miss and Mr. Zhao hit it off."

In the post station, the three of them, Mother Chen, Qinglu, who were arranged in the corner, looked at Shangshou, Lin Jing, and Zhao Cheng eating at the same table, and Cheng Yuguan, who was talking and laughing, had ugly expressions on their faces.

Qinglu said with some envy.

Nanny Chen curled her lips, "Men and women have different seats at the age of seven. After all, the eldest lady grew up in the countryside, she has no rules, and she has lowered her status. If our second lady is here, those guards will not be able to talk to our lady. Miss, the concubine of the Hou family, will only sit at the same table with the fourth prince."

When Chen Momo mentioned the second young lady, she looked arrogant, as if she was very proud of the young lady she was talking about.

Qinglu also looked back at Cheng Yuguan, and said sincerely, "That's natural. Miss Yulou is naturally beautiful, and she is also knowledgeable and courteous. Everyone in the Hou's mansion, from the old lady to the servant girls, loves Miss Yulou. There is a lot of respect and love. Even in the entire capital, our second lady is one of the most noble daughters, even more famous than those princesses and princesses."

Speaking of the second miss, Cheng Yulou, Qinglu, a little girl who had never been served in the inner courtyard, also looked proud.

Although she had never served Miss Yulou before, everyone inside and outside the mansion praised Second Miss very much, and she had never heard anyone say anything bad about Second Miss.I heard that the newest girl in the inner courtyard made a mistake, and she only asked to be in front of the second lady, and the second lady would be lenient.

Qinglu's wish is that one day she can enter the second lady's yard to serve her.

Seeing that Qinglu's words were true, Mother Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "You girl, you still know this. Don't worry, when I return to Beijing this time, I will speak well for you in front of my wife and let you enter the second class." Miss Qionglin Court serves."

"Really? That's all thanks to Mammy. Is your tea cold? I'll dry another cup for you."

Nanny Chen hinted at this many times, but this is the first time she said it directly, Qinglu was pleasantly surprised and served her more attentively.

The envy she had just looked towards the eldest lady was immediately forgotten.

"If we don't think of a way, let alone get a reward when we go back, I'm afraid we'll all be on the bench."

Ma Youliang, the coachman, said suddenly.

The smile on Chen Nanny's face disappeared, and she looked at Ma Youliang.

The coachman Ma Youliang had an inexplicable expression on his honest and honest face. He looked at Nanny Chen and said, "Here we have arrived at Shangling County. After passing Shangling, the road is smooth. Not only is the road easy to walk, but there are also post stations along the way. Few people sleep in the open air." It's time. After all, the eldest lady grew up in the countryside, can endure hardships, and has a good body. After more than ten days of being in a carriage, she has recovered more than half of her body in two days. Now she is getting closer to Master Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng's guard. No way. Under the care of the two lords, the eldest lady immediately recovered. After entering the capital, Madam saw that the eldest lady was radiant, and she even had a relationship with the fourth prince. What do you think Madam will think of us?"

Qinglu's eyes widened, looking ignorant, but Nanny Chen's face darkened.

"Yes, we can't wait any longer."

Nanny Chen murmured.

In Cheng Yuguan's place, I don't know that there are people who can't see her well. She rode a horse for a whole day today, and there is a post station to provide board and lodging. Therefore, after eating with Brother Zhao, she couldn't wait to go back to her room and prepare to rest.

"Miss, I've adjusted the water temperature for you, so I'll go down first. Just call me after you take a shower."

There is also a servant woman in the post station. Although Cheng Yuguan did not reveal her identity, she lived in the post station with the fourth prince. servants serve.

"Thank you."

Faced with the servant's careful report, Cheng Yuguan subconsciously thanked him and prepared to enter the bathroom.

"Miss is too polite, this is what slaves should do."

With her head lowered in front of her, the honest and attentive maid said so, Cheng Yuguan nodded and entered the bathing room.

The room is not big, with only one door and one window. There is a screen in the room. In the middle of the room, there is a wooden barrel, half of which has been prepared with water, and steam is rising.

Cheng Yuguan walked around the room, and after making sure that there were no dead spots in the room where people could hide, he took off his clothes and entered the tub.

The slightly hot water made Cheng Yuguan, who was sore all over, couldn't help but take a deep breath. It's really comfortable to take a hot bath for a tired person.

Before he knew it, Cheng Yuguan had been soaking for half an hour, and the water was a little cold.

Getting up from the tub, Cheng Yuguan changed into his clothes and was about to go out to call someone, but found that the door couldn't be opened.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Cheng Yuguan patted the door, "Is there anyone outside? I've finished washing, open the door and let me out!"

The weather in late spring and early summer is sunny during the day and cool at night.This is a rare pleasant time of year.

If at this time, Cheng Yuguan was lying on a clean and warm quilt with a thin quilt covering his body, it would be an absolute comfort.

But now she just took a shower, her hair was wet, and she was wearing a layer of unlined clothing. After a while, Cheng Yuguan felt chilly all over her body.

Moreover, she has not recovered from the torment in the carriage a few days ago, and today she has been riding a horse for a whole day, tired, sore and cold all at the same time, Cheng Yuguan shivered unconsciously, and sneezed a few times .

"I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold."

Cheng Yu secretly cried out in concern.

If she was ill, even if it was a minor ailment like a cold and fever, she would definitely not be able to keep up with the fourth prince and his party tomorrow.

Thinking of going back to Beijing together with Nanny Chen and the others again, Cheng Yuguan's hand knocking on the door became even harder.

"Is there anyone! Open the door!"

The women's bath room was originally remote, and now everyone who was tired all day fell asleep, and no one heard Cheng Yuguan's call.

His hands were red from clapping, Cheng Yuguan looked at the motionless door in front of him, with a surge of anger in his heart, he began to kick the door vigorously.

The wooden door creaked and shook, and soon, the wooden door was kicked out of the gap by Cheng Yuguan.

Through the fairly bright moonlight, Cheng Yuguan saw the maid who was leaning against the door kicked out of the loose door. It seemed that Cheng Yuguan looked thin and lifeless, but had such great strength. The servant turned her head back in shock. , just in time to meet Cheng Yuguan's eyes across the door.

"Open the door!"

Cheng Yu closed the door and said coldly.

The maid smiled and explained as she walked over to open the door, "Miss, don't blame me. Just now I was going to the kitchen to prepare the nobleman's supper. I locked the door in case some scoundrels would disturb the lady's washing. I was about to open the door just now, but you kicked the door open." It's..."

The maid looked honest, and explained with a low eyebrow.

But just now Cheng Yuguan, who thought the servant girl was pitiful and honest, saw the servant girl put on an honest face and was full of lies, and felt angry, raised her arm and slapped the servant girl to interrupt her chattering explanation.

"You hit me? You?"

The maid covered her face and looked at Cheng Yuguan in surprise and anger.

"Do you dare to hit someone? I respect you as a young lady, and you really beat people with the airs of a young lady? I have been in the station for so many years in your cloth clothes, and I have never seen such a down-and-out young lady. If you pay me money, do you think I will come to serve you?"

The servant girl who had been docile with her head down just now turned grim, covered half of her face, and raised her eyes, "Little girl! Dare to hit someone? I'll tell you to hit me!"

As she said that, the person jumped forward with her arms raised, like a crab, trying to scare the enemy with her thick body.

Cheng Yuguan was too lazy to talk to a servant, so he kicked over, and immediately kicked the servant who was still barking her teeth and claws to the ground.

The servant woman clutched her stomach and wailed, while staring at Cheng Yuguan, not daring to get up and be arrogant again.

"Miss, are you alright, miss?"

At this time, Qinglu suddenly ran out from the dark, passed the maid who was crying on the ground, walked to Cheng Yuguan, supported Cheng Yuguan, and said with concern, "Miss, are you okay? I just went to your room I brought you tea, and found that you hadn't returned to the house, so I hurried to find you. Although it started to heat up during the day, it was still cool at night. Don't catch the cold, I will help you go back. "

With that said, he was about to help Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan had just finished bathing, and the moisture had been blown dry by the wind. She faintly felt hot on her forehead, knowing that she was being teased and tricked, and seeing Qinglu coming to pretend, she pushed her away with all her strength. .

Cheng Yuguan did farm work and martial arts since he was a child, even though he was uncomfortable, his hands were still strong, and he pushed Qinglu to the ground in one fell swoop.

"Miss, you don't feel well, so don't blame the servant? The servant didn't provoke you or provoke you!"

Qinglu said aggrievedly, got up from the ground, and stood far away beside Cheng Yuguan.

At this moment, Cheng Yuguan felt weak all over, his throat was dry, and he was too lazy to grind his teeth with the two people in front of him, so he prepared to walk back.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuguan was too lazy to talk to others, but Qinglu got excited and walked a few steps forward to stand in front of Cheng Yuguan.

"Even though you are the eldest lady, you can't be unreasonable. This servant came to you with good intentions, but you pushed me down. If you don't give me an explanation, this servant will go to the Fourth Prince and Mr. Lin to ask for an explanation. Let them know , you used to pretend to be kind in front of the nobles, but you were cruel and rude in private, Your Highness and the others were all deceived!"

It was the first time for Cheng Yuguan to see Qinglu not hiding behind Nanny Chen, but standing in front of him.

Cheng Yuguan put his hands on his forehead, looked at the little girl in front of him, and then at the servant girl who had already stood up by slapping her buttocks.

No matter how small a person is, they have two faces.Poor is really pitiful, hateful is also really hateful.

Cheng Yuguan thought, if she put on the airs of a young lady and wore brocade clothes, the two in front of her might not dare to say a word in front of her.

Even that old raven, Nanny Chen, put on an air of superiority, even teasing her, she didn't even bother to show up in person, but found two "lower people" to do it.

What about yourself?The dignified lady of the Hou's Mansion was bullied so much by this "lower people"? !
Sure enough, extra kindness and kindness are useless. Some people are just low-spirited, unworthy of other people's kindness, and only worthy of being trampled under their feet.

Cheng Yuguan regained her composure, raised her foot and kicked again, this time she didn't have the strength to spare, and kicked Qinglu flying away, and fell far away.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan like this, the servant also shrank aside, not daring to go forward.

"...You... beat someone! Killed someone! Help..."

Qing Lufei went out and lay on the ground, and glanced at Cheng Yuguan in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why the eldest lady who had been amiable and unassuming for the past few days suddenly went "crazy", but she came here today just to procrastinate The eldest lady couldn't let her go back to rest easily, she was stunned for a moment, then Qinglu yelled.

Obviously just now Cheng Yu was locked in the house and knocked on the door, but no one answered, but now, just as Qinglu yelled, a group of people poured out outside.

"Qinglu? Is that you? Did you find the eldest lady?"

Nanny Chen led Zhao Cheng and Lin Jing, and ran over with a worried expression on her face. When she saw Qinglu lying on the ground with a miserable face, she rushed over instantly.

"Qinglu, what's the matter with you? Who dares to attack the people in the Hou's mansion? Tell me, I have found Master Lin and Master Zhao, and they can make decisions for you!"

At this time, Qinglu stretched out her finger and pointed at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, something is wrong, but the servant came here without doing anything, and was kicked twice by Miss."

Nanny Chen looked at Cheng Yuguan in disbelief, "Miss, is what Qinglu said true? You beat her? Qinglu is a girl in the madam's yard. Madam ordered her to go out this time." She. You don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. How can you be so cruel? You grew up in the countryside. I'm afraid you don't know that our Hou's mansion is a well-known kind family in the capital. Every winter, we have to give porridge at the gate of the city for relief. The old slave has been in the mansion for decades, and I have never seen the master and wife beat down people for no reason, let alone people in the elders' yard. Are you being too vicious? Could it be that the life of a servant girl is not life? Do people beat and scold at will?"

Mother Chen's tearful accusation would be pleasing to the eye if she were a little younger and more charming.

However, her hair is gray, but she still has to sing, read and play.

Cheng Yuguan covered his head, and looked at Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng, who were inexplicably pulled to the side to watch the play, with surprised faces.

"Brother Lin, Brother Zhao, do you have any typhoid pills? I'm afraid I'll have to take one pill."

Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng were inexplicably pulled over by Nanny Chen, they didn't understand anything, they just listened to her crying, when Cheng Yuguan opened his mouth, he realized that she was weak, and her face was blushing, as if she had caught a cold Fever is normal.

Zhao Cheng hurried over to hold Cheng Yuguan's hand, only then realized that the child was very hot.

"Brother Lin, Miss Cheng has a fever."

After hearing this, Lin Jing no longer looked at Nanny Chen as if she was watching a play, but came to Cheng Yuguan's side, "Hurry to the front yard, Doctor Zhang is in the front yard."

After finishing speaking, she was about to leave after protecting Cheng Yuguan. Seeing this, Madam Chen patted her buttocks to stop her, "Come and help you, this old slave, this man and woman are not good friends, and they will ruin the reputation of the house. Madam, don't you?" Annoyed."

Seeing that the old godmother was still yelling nonsense at this time, Zhao Cheng twisted and knocked Nanny Chen far away, supported Cheng Yuguan and walked towards the front yard.

Seeing that the three of them didn't even pay attention to her, Nanny Chen had an ugly face, she looked at Qinglu who was still lying on the ground, and the servant woman hiding aside, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you follow me to the front yard?" ? I don't believe it, and the Fourth Highness is also unreasonable."
