Cheng Yu closed his eyes and looked at Lin Jing, Zhao Cheng and the others, looking at the fourth prince.

"I realized that no matter what time, you must have someone by your side, otherwise you will be rubbed at will."

"Chi~" With a laugh, the fourth prince belittled mercilessly, "Owner? How can you be considered one's own? When you enter the Hou's mansion, buy three servants to protect you? If you think so, you have to buy There are many people there. First of all, the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion. You, you can’t stop eating and drinking, right? You can’t protect the food in the entrance. You are the meat on someone else’s cutting board. If someone tells you to die in the middle of the night, you will live It's less than five watch days. Then there is your own bedroom. You have to build it into an iron wall. If there is a leak, can you sleep well at night? You can't guarantee the most basic things of eating and sleeping, let alone other things. These are still Not to mention, the people you bought must have "wisdom eyes and pearls". Between you and Mrs. Hou, they will persistently choose you, and once they choose you, they will never betray you. Faced with the great temptation, you must remain unmoved. Alright. You really are the Chosen One!"

The fourth prince said in a slow tone, but Cheng Yuguan's face became more and more red.

So humiliating.

Her thinking was too simple, and she seemed naive to the point of stupidity.

That's right, she is not the chosen heroine who inexplicably gathers everyone's favor and patronage, why should others choose herself between herself and the Hou's mansion?
A rich and wealthy person in power in the Hou's Mansion, a thin, stupid, and unfounded "Miss", even if she was asked to choose, she would stand by the Hou's Mansion without hesitation, how could she ask others to stand by her unconditionally? side?

Even if there is such a person, there is another purpose, and she has to pay a corresponding price to do it.

Cheng Yuguan endured his shame, stood up and bowed deeply to the Fourth Prince, "Please advise."

The fourth prince put down the teacup, sat upright and looked at Cheng Yuguan, "You want someone to protect you. That's a good idea. But why others protect you is the fundamental. You have to make yourself valuable."

This is a simple statement, but Cheng Yuguan has no idea what to do.

"How can I make myself valuable? I have done a little business with my cousins, but compared with the Hou's house, the amount of silver should not be too much."

Cheng Yuguan said distressedly that the only way she could think of to add value to herself was to use money.

The fourth prince shook his head.

"It's related to money, but money is not the most fundamental thing. Although it is said that money can turn ghosts around, but can you meet a person who doesn't know anything about her, and just throw money at her? And you have a heartfelt and powerful person around you." Even if you use money, how do you know if someone else took the money, not only not helping you, but also calling you behind your back?"

Cheng Yu turned his head in a daze.

"Then you still need someone of your own. But didn't you just say that it is worthless, and you can't get someone to help you wholeheartedly?"

Cheng Yuguan, a straight daughter from a previous life, a good girl who lives under the flag of the Five Star Red, really can't imagine how she can live safely in a deep house.

She has no foundation and some small money.

But what the fourth prince said makes sense, these things are of no use in the Hou's mansion, if not, they will be laughed at and taken advantage of.

Cheng Yuguan set his sights on the fourth prince, and now, only the fourth prince can give him advice.

The fourth prince leaned over slightly to look at Cheng Yuguan, and said softly as he approached with oppressive aura.

"To make yourself valuable, it's natural to see the momentum you gather, or to put it bluntly, it's your own ability. As a woman, the most basic ability you have is to be respectful and beautiful. A woman who knows how to be respectful will make people innate I like it. No matter how beautiful you are, that is to add value to yourself. Didn’t Nanny Chen say just now? The Chenghou Mansion has a marriage contract with the fifth prince. Do you know why she tortured you on the road? She just wants to make you look haggard Enter Beijing. In this way, you are incomparable with the second lady of the Hou Mansion. Even if you are the granddaughter of the Huo family, as a woman, if you are sick and haggard, you are General Huo, and there is no way to force the fifth prince to choose you .”

What the fourth prince said was straightforward, but Cheng Yuguan couldn't accept it.

"You mean, if I want to make myself valuable, I must win a marriage contract with the Fifth Prince?"

The fourth prince still sat at the head, but for some reason, Cheng Yuguan felt that the fourth prince was condescending and condescending.

"This is the most simple and direct way."

As he spoke, he seemed to realize that Cheng Yuguan's simple mind couldn't react, so he deliberately explained one or two things.

"You were brought up in Chengjia Village since you were a child. You and Cheng Hou, and other relatives in the Hou's mansion, did not have the family affection that you should have. Although family affection is sometimes vain and useless and invisible, it takes years of cultivation to have it. Just imagine, you and Second Miss, a child who grew up under the noses of others and grew up to be a slim girl, have been facing each other day and night for more than ten years, and you, a strange face who suddenly appeared, will be met by all the relatives of the Hou Mansion. Who do you prefer?"

Seeing Cheng Yuguan thinking, the fourth prince continued.

"You are a weak woman, and you don't have the kinship you should have with your relatives. You only have blood relationship with General Huo. With this blood relationship, you and Miss Chenghou can stand on the same starting line and compete for the marriage contract with the fifth prince. Only You have successfully won this marriage contract, and you have value and future, and only then will your servants follow you willingly, and you will be able to gain a foothold in Chenghou's mansion."

What the fourth prince said was straightforward, Cheng Yuguan completely understood at this moment.

If she wanted to survive in the crisis-ridden Chenghou Mansion, she needed capital.

The most important of her current capital is of course the granddaughter of the Huo family. With her ancestral home, she won the marriage contract with the fifth prince before she could fight against Madam Chen's master, Mrs. Hou.

Otherwise, what happened today is a lesson.

Obviously she just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep, but she was teased and framed to catch a cold and have a fever.

With no backing value, even a nun can play with her.If she hadn't been in good health since she was a child, a fever might have killed her!
When survival is still a problem, dignity is even more difficult to talk about.

Yes, although the fourth prince is just talking about the matter.But Cheng Yuguan's three views since childhood made her feel that her dignity was offended.

She is a real person, but now, it is said that only by virtue of obedience and beauty to obtain a marriage contract can she be valuable.

No one will feel comfortable saying this on anyone.It was as if she was an object to be weighed, but she herself was worthless.

But, that's the reality.

Cheng Yu's concern was filled with mixed feelings, momentary loss, depression, and anger.

She thought, if she had a backbone, she should refute it harshly.

But there was no way, she couldn't turn back.She can't go back to Chengjia Village. In ancient times, she was a weak woman with no family and clan relatives, let alone gain a foothold in other places.In front of her, there is only one way to enter the Marquis Mansion.And if she wanted to gain a foothold in the crisis-ridden Hou Mansion, she could only win a marriage contract.

Otherwise, what was waiting for her might be a wind and cold that quietly killed her.

Just like the ending written in the book, it fell into the water and disappeared inexplicably.

Cheng Yuguan sighed softly and sat down on the chair weakly.

In the hall, at some point there were no other people, only the fourth prince, master and servant, and Cheng Yuguan.

In the first place, the fourth prince picked up the teacup again, Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng looked at each other, there was only a trace of resentment in their eyes.

Who can be responsible for others?To find your own way out, you can only work hard on your own.They belonged to the fourth prince, so naturally they would not go against their master's wishes.

Right now, they don't know the master's true intentions, but they support him silently.

Just at this time, a servant came up with medicine, Cheng Yuguan took it, it was still a little hot, but he could eat it.

Just like the fourth prince's "faithful words are harsh to the ears".

Cheng Yuguan endured the heat, poured the medicine into his mouth in one gulp, got up and said goodbye.

"Thank you to the fourth prince for your help today. If I can successfully gain a foothold in Chenghou's mansion, I will return the fourth prince's advice today."

After speaking, Cheng Yuguan turned and left.

Her self-esteem was broken all over the ground, and she really didn't want to face the people in front of her. At this moment, she just wanted to go back to her room and lick her wounds in a place where no one was around.

Looking at Cheng Yuguan's staggering back, Zhao Cheng couldn't bear it.

"Your Highness, Miss Cheng is simple, why do you say these things to hurt her."

The fourth prince put down the teacup, "You also think I'm too much?"

Zhao Cheng bowed his head and silently agreed.

The fourth prince said at this time, "Cheng Yuguan lived in the countryside since he was a child. The biggest setback in his life is nothing more than being scolded by his elders. But now he wants to enter the deep house in Chenghou's mansion. It's a place where people cannibalize. Outside Looking at the colorful flowers and rich clothes and fine food, but talking and laughing is killing people. If I don’t wake her up, maybe tomorrow, she will be pushed off the carriage by that little girl Qinglu and die on the spot. Since she is destined to be with me, Now that I made a move, I naturally wanted to wake her up. Now that she can't stand a few words, she'd better not go to the capital, and don't fight for the fifth prince's marriage contract, just find someone to marry at this post station, so that she can There is no need to face the ups and downs of the capital. Whether to go to the capital to fight, or to admit cowardly and save her life, all depends on her decision tonight. Tomorrow, no one should go to Cheng Yuguan to urge her, let her decide whether to continue to go to Beijing Stay where you are. By then, I believe she's made up her mind."

...

On the second day, it was still a sunny day, and everyone in the inn watched the fourth prince and his party go away.The difference is that there is a woman wearing a veiled hat in the team.

...

At noon, the team set up camp.

Cheng Yuguan returned to his former brisk appearance and followed behind the fourth prince.

The fourth prince glanced at Cheng Yuguan who was wearing a veiled hat and raised in front of him.

"If you are afraid of wind and frost, I can buy a carriage for you to ensure that it is comfortable and not wobbly, and it will not make you sick in the carriage. It is not troublesome to wear a veil on a horse."

Cheng Yuguan shook his head again and again, "You're right, I'm a girl, so I still need to pay attention to my appearance. But I really can't bear the stuffiness of the carriage, so I just wear a hood to keep out the wind and frost."

This was Cheng Yuguan's slight resistance to the fourth prince's straightforward words.

Although she agrees with the fourth prince's point of view, she also has her own insistence.

Although she is forced by the situation, she still has her own pursuit.

When one day she can control her own destiny, she still has to live according to her own wishes and live the rest of her life, so that this life will not be in vain.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's stubbornness, the fourth prince chuckled and let her go.

People have their own ideas, if they all act according to what they should do, what is the difference between them and puppets?
...

Nanny Chen and Qinglu, since the night at the post station, have recuperated from their injuries in a low-key and low-key manner.The fourth prince has already made it clear that they want to help Cheng Yuguan, so they naturally dare not make any more mistakes.

If you have any ideas, you can only make plans after you successfully arrive in the capital and separate from the fourth prince.

So in the past few days, Cheng Yuguan's life has become easier.

She has gradually become accustomed to traveling on horseback, and it is no problem to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Feeling his progress, Cheng Yuguan was secretly happy.

She knew this kind of skill, and was scoffed at by the fourth prince, who thought that she had this skill, so why not take good care of herself and think about how to dress to make it useful.

But she knows that her aptitude is limited, no matter how she maintains and dresses up, can she still compare to the proficiency of the heroine Cheng Yulou who was taught by her mother since she was a child and soaked in decades of experience?

Because of this, Cheng Yuguan only wore a veiled hat, so as not to let himself be too exposed.

Dressing is the strength of others, and her strength lies elsewhere.

...

"This is the capital?!"

After several days of traveling, Cheng Yuguan finally saw the legendary capital.

The city wall, which looked like a giant beast, was lying in the distance, and Cheng Yuguan was a little timid.

Once she stepped here, her relaxed and happy days were gone forever, and she was surrounded by only human hearts and calculations.

Cheng Yuguan subconsciously tightened the reins as he thought of the days when every step would be smooth sailing.

After getting along for many days, Cheng Yuguan has become familiar with Lin Jing and Brother Zhao Cheng. At this time, she and the two fourth princes' guards are following the fourth prince side by side. Immediately noticed.

"Let's go, it's Longtan and Tiger's Den, don't you dare to give it a try?"

Facing the aggressive fourth prince, Cheng Yuguan loosened the reins and raised his chin, "Who dares? I don't know if I can win, but I still dare to get in and stir up the wind and rain. Let's go."

The fourth prince smiled and shook his head, Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng looked at Cheng Yuguan's arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"The old servant, Liao Cheng, the chief steward of Chenghou's mansion, has met the fourth prince and the eldest lady."

As soon as he approached the city gate, an old man dressed in a dark dark satin bikini bowed to greet him, with gray hair and a smile on his face, respectful yet humble.

"The fourth prince came to help and rescued the eldest lady from the bandits. The mansion had already received a letter. The Lord Hou said that he would come to the door in person to thank the fourth prince. Now that the fourth prince is back, he will report to the Marquis immediately when the old slave returns to the house. Lord."

The fourth prince sat on the horse, and waved his hands when he heard the words, "This prince was ordered to suppress the bandits and rescue Miss Cheng, but it was just following the trend, so there is no need to be polite."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Your family will come to pick you up, so I'll leave first. If you have something to do, go to Zhuque Street. If I'm not in the mansion, you can go to Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng. The same is true."

Cheng Yuguan was taken aback by the sudden care of the fourth prince, and the housekeeper was even more secretly surprised.

It doesn't look like it's just a favor.
