The female supporting role never believes in fate

"This is Yulou, isn't it? It's really like an orchid, extraordinary. Since I came to Beijing, I have heard the title of Yulou, the most talented woman in the capital, many times. When I saw it today, it really shines."

Chang looked at Cheng Yulou with a smile and boasted.

The sociable smile on Yang's face deepened, and the handkerchief in his hand was pressed to the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to cover up the irresistible smile on his lips.

"Yulou is still young, so she can't be called the number one talented woman. Those members of her Xiaohe Poetry Club called her all the same. Sister-in-law, don't make fun of her."

In the past two years, the capital has become more prosperous and peaceful, so the style of writing has become more and more prosperous.Poetry clubs emerge in endlessly, but Xiaohe Poetry Club is definitely one of the best in Beijing.

Firstly, the members are all from well-known families, secondly, they are indeed talented, and every time they form an association, there must be one or two good sentences spread, and thirdly, it is also the most important.

It is the Xiaohe Poetry Club, the members are all young people in the capital, there are men and women, there are princes, there are scholars, there are rich and noble sons, men and women are attractive, and there are people who have time, talent and wealth , so his reputation in Beijing and China is at the peak of his power.

It has to be said that this world belongs to young people.

As people grow older, they will return to their families and return to their original position in this society.

But the spirit of youth can break through the shackles and break the rules for a short time, and it will always be enthusiastic.

Therefore, Xiaohe Poetry Club, in the capital, can be said to exist like a big star in the future.

As its core member and promoter, Cheng Yulou's reputation is sometimes stronger than Mrs. Yang's.Sometimes the Yang family is not allowed to attend palace gatherings, but Cheng Yulou can be invited.

Yang is naturally very proud of bringing such Cheng Yulou.

With a few words of humility, Yang looked at Cheng Yuguan behind Chang.

"Yuguan has grown gracefully in the past two years. I heard that in the past two years, the Cheng family's stone shop in Tongcheng has been successfully managed. It almost has the demeanor of my wife back then. It's great. A daughter inheriting her mother's business is also a comfort to my sister. It's the spirit of heaven. Lord Hou mentioned Yuguan's management talents several times, and he was very pleased!"

With a smile, Yang said these words softly.

A person like Yang has the ability to know what others don't want to hear, so she will say something, and then wait for you to get angry, and then express innocently that she has no intentions.

This is what the fourth prince Li Mian said, always hold a knife in his hand, even if it is a soft knife.

As a result of Yang's words, Cheng Yuguan's two sister-in-laws who didn't know anything changed their expressions.

As housewives, they learn the three obediences and four virtues, and they only focus on pleasing their mother-in-law and husband every day. Even if they are interested in the family business, they should not ask directly, so as not to leave the impression of money-loving husband and mother-in-law.

Therefore, this is the first time they know that the family's business in Tongcheng is not in charge of the third brother, but this stepsister?

The two sister-in-laws looked strange, and the smile on the corners of Chang's mouth also stopped, "Yuguan has been pitiful since she was a child, and she has to earn for the meat and side drugs at home. Open your mouth with me and his uncle, fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, she finally has some financial talents, she can support herself at a young age, and now she has earned a large family business."

When Chang said this, he flicked the handkerchief in his hand and pressed the corners of his eyes, "Isn't this motherless child already in charge?"

This is the wit in the women's world, paying attention to killing with soft knives.

Yang could no longer hold the smile on his face.

In the past, when she said this, Cheng Yuguan's straight temper would either fly into a rage immediately, or go back and be aggrieved for a long time.

Although Yang Shi didn't get along with Cheng Yuguan for a long time, she has been thinking about people's hearts since she was a child, and she can make decisions with each passing moment.So although she was not as good as Cheng Yuguan's biological mother, Huo Shi, she managed to win Lord Hou through hard work.

Unexpectedly, today's plan didn't work, and Cheng Yuguan's face didn't change. It made Chang, a country woman whom she despised in the past, seize the opportunity to poke her heart.

Speaking of Cheng Yuguan's hardships as a child, doesn't it mean that her stepmother was not thoughtful and treated her daughter harshly?
The surrounding guests, who were already pricked up, had different looks when they heard this.

But the first rule of women's self-cultivation is to focus on a thick-skinned person.This is not a derogatory term, it is the way of survival for women, whoever has mastered this skill, among other things, at least live a more comfortable life!

Therefore, the corners of Yang's mouth froze for a moment, before skipping the topic, "I'm here today, Lord Hou also wanted to come with me, who knows that he can't get away at the invitation of the king of the county, so I can only let me do it for him."

When King Shunjun was mentioned, the attention of the people around him was instantly diverted.

People have unusual respect and curiosity about the royal family. As one of the most down-to-earth kings in the royal family, King Shun is very bluffing when he speaks out of it, although he is usually unassuming.

"I heard that the King of Shunjun is training a theater troupe recently, and he is waiting for the palace banquet to present gifts during the June Festival. We have been waiting for a long time. I don't know if Madam has any inside information."

A wealthy lady came forward to smooth things over, and Mrs. Chang took Cheng Yuguan to the seat, and Mrs. Yang followed suit and said, "King of Shunjun must keep it a secret, that is, Yulou was invited by the king of Shunjun and the master of Fushan County. I only know a little bit when I went to write an opera script. But I can’t say too much, or it will ruin the interest of the county prince.”

Yang said very proudly.

The woman looked at Cheng Yulou and admired, "It's Miss Yulou who is talented enough to be invited by the county prince."

Compared with the previous two years, Cheng Yulou was more dignified and more peaceful. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Prince Shun Jun looks up to me. I'm just joining in the fun with Princess Fushan. It's nothing."

"Hey, miss Yulou, don't be modest. No one in the capital knows that Princess Fushan is not interested in poetry and articles. This June Festival, we are waiting to appreciate Miss Yulou's masterpiece! It is said that it is He Qingfeng Lounan. Music troupe cooperation?"

The capital is rich and boring, except for the gossip of various families, it is the theater troupe to amuse the boredom, so there are still people who secretly poke and inquire.

Cheng Yulou smiled without saying a word, and calmly dealt with it, while keeping his mouth shut, he released a few innocuous tidbits to tantalize people's appetite.

It is obvious that compared with the previous two years, he is not a little bit more confident.

Cheng Yuguan was by Chang's side, looking at Cheng Yulou who was being held up by the stars, no one could not be confident in being held up like this.

Because of the quarrel between her mother-in-law and Mrs. Yang just now, the second sister-in-law, Qian Shi, didn't have the nerve to get close to her, but she looked at Cheng Yulou enviously and touched Cheng Yuguan.

"Little sister, this girl should be like Miss Yulou, confident and charming, talented but not domineering, to be more likable. The second sister-in-law is not saying that you are not good, but that you are too deep on weekdays." , girls are lively and love to laugh, luck is better. Do you think these people are going to praise Cheng Yulou? That is the fifth prince behind Cheng Yulou! You just returned to the capital, don’t you know? Let me tell you, Everyone in Beijing said that the fifth prince and Cheng Yulou have already been settled, and they will start the ceremony after the end of the day! These people are openly praising Cheng Yulou, but secretly praising the fifth prince!"

The second sister-in-law Qian Shi is more "jumping" than the elder sister-in-law Zhao Shi. Now she is pulling Cheng Yuguan, saying that she is so excited about the gossip news she has inquired about during her stay in the capital that Cheng Yuguan couldn't bear to interrupt. .

In fact, she was not interested in saying these things behind her back, and she already knew it, but everyone was socializing separately, and Cheng Yuguan also dealt with the second sister-in-law.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chang sighed. The second daughter-in-law is weaker than the eldest daughter-in-law. Today, I deliberately waited for Yuguan to return to Beijing before holding a banquet. Isn't it to introduce Yuguan to relatives and friends?Seeing that the time is coming soon, before getting engaged, naturally one has to meet more people, so that young talents can come to propose marriage.

In this scene, it was obvious that Yang and Cheng Yulou robbed Yuguan of the limelight, but Qian didn't notice it at all, and was still chattering about how famous and attractive Cheng Yulou was, attracting princes and talents.

"The weather is getting hotter, let's move to the back garden together, have a feast and see the scenery, without delay."

Chang's mouth changed the subject.

"Okay, I've heard that the general's mansion bestowed by the emperor is spacious, so let's take advantage of it to take a stroll!"

A group of people moved, and after dinner, they watched a play and talked in the garden.After Cheng Yu closed the banquet, he told his mother and left the banquet.

Girls are precious, and they don't always have to accompany them, so when Cheng Yuguan said it, Chang's agreed.

Cheng Yuguan took Liuyun to his yard.

"big sister!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice called Cheng Yuguan to stop.

Cheng Yuguan turned his head, and it was indeed Cheng Yulou.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan stop, Cheng Yulou brought his maid Qinghe to Cheng Yuguan's side.

"Big sister, haven't we seen each other for two years?"

Cheng Yulou spoke.

Cheng Yuguan only looked at Cheng Yulou, but didn't speak.

Liu Yun was between the two, his eyes drifted away, and he quickly confirmed that the bright-looking girl in front of him had a bad temper with his young lady.

Cheng Yulou also knew that Cheng Yuguan had a weird temper and never answered with common sense, so he said to himself, "Two years ago, I said that I would bring my sister to make more friends. Now, I finally have the opportunity gone."

As he said that, Cheng Yulou said with a more frank expression, "Sister, I have vaguely heard about you in the past two years. Our girls' family, it's better not to be too trapped in gold and silver vulgar objects. Occasionally, the sisters go shopping and read books together. Doing poetry can also cultivate your sentiments, so you won’t become a boring woman early on, right?”

In the mouth of young girls, becoming a "woman" is a vulgar nightmare, and they naturally despise it.

"Just a few days later, the Shuori Poetry Club will be held in the Qingfeng Tower in the east of the city. The girls in our poetry club must go to participate. There are a few men who are also talented people from famous families, so they won't disturb us rudely." Big sister, why don't you go with me?! Sister, don't worry, our poetry club also has people like my sister who don't know much about poetry, so what does it matter? Just have fun together, the result is not important!"

Cheng Yulou's face was sincere, Liuyun had been conquered, he looked at the lady unconsciously, his eyes almost spoke, and wanted Cheng Yuguan to agree.

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "It's too late, forget it, I will enter the palace tomorrow to visit the queen's aunt."

After hearing this, Cheng Yulou lowered his head regretfully, "It's a pity. Sister of the Huo family, I heard that the eldest sister is back, and I want to meet her at the poetry club. After all, you are real blood relatives."

Cheng Yuguan didn't say anything when he heard the Huo family, but Liu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately countered, "Since they are sisters of our lady's relatives, we don't need this lady's introduction. Are blood relatives inferior to outsiders?"

Although Liu Yun grew up in the countryside around Tongcheng, she is naturally straight-tempered, and her young lady is not a fussy master. She does not allow others to set rules, so Liu Yun has a reckless air about her, and she speaks directly and crisply. Sheng retorted.

Cheng Yulou glanced at Liu Yun, a little surprised, "Elder Sister, this maid is quick-spoken, much better than Chen Xiang, no wonder Eldest Sister couldn't think of Chen Xiang, but she brought this girl all the way back to Beijing from Tongcheng."

Liu Yun frowned upon hearing this, "How does this young lady know that I'm from Tongcheng?"

Cheng Yulou paused, and Qinghe stepped forward, "Sister, your accent still has a hint of southern dialect, maybe the eldest lady and you are used to it and didn't notice it. Also, our lady is the eldest sister's younger sister, Cheng Yulou is also the most talented woman in the capital, and she was born in the Chenghou Mansion. Although this sister comes from a small place, she can't just ask others to tolerate her. You are like this, and it is easy to offend people for your young lady."

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Sure enough, if there is such a master, there is such a girl, your lady pokes others one by one, and you are also very good at it, and she is sarcastic when she speaks, is this the bearing of Miss Jingcheng? No one like our daughter of Tongcheng knows how to behave properly!"

"you!"

Qinghe was pushed back dryly by Liuyun, she was suddenly out of breath, pointed at Liuyun, so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Qing He, it's all right, I'll make an apology for her when I go back."

Cheng Yulou grabbed Qing He, and looked at Cheng Yuguan again, "Big sister, you are such a powerful girl, why don't you bring her into the palace again? I don't care if she offends me, after all, we are sisters. If Going to the palace to offend noble people is not worth the loss. After all, in the past two years, there have been many noble ladies living with the empress in the empress's palace, and their tempers are not as good as mine. "

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help frowning when he saw Cheng Yulou talking about "sisters" one by one, and swearing at each other, "Miss Yulou and I are relatives in the next room, just a surname, Miss Yulou respects herself , don't always talk, I don't like it."

"Also, I would like to advise Ms. Yulou, you two, mother and daughter, always treat others as fools and speak with meaning. You are really petty. Don't tell me you don't have your own backbone without me? Do you always stimulate me to have a sense of accomplishment?"

Cheng Yulou changed his expression for the first time today, and looked at Cheng Yuguan with a serious face.

After a while, Cheng Yulou let out a soft breath, as if taking off the mask, "Eldest sister is still so straightforward, it's overwhelming. Since elder sister likes to speak clearly, then I will tell the truth. Eldest sister's inexplicable Arrogance, it's time to restrain yourself!"
