Chapter 14: Branding
Chapter 14
In the past few days, although the two have been in the same car, they are full of concerns and do not communicate much. The injuries on Wei Mingxi's body have not healed yet, and most of the time he has been recuperating with his eyes closed. Fu Rongyue was full of energy, but when she thought that the person in front of her was the Wei family or her future benefactor, she wanted to win over her, but she always acted a little reluctantly.
Later, as she got closer and closer to Kyoto, Fu Rongyue's mood also changed, and the focus of her thinking was no longer how to win over Wei Mingxi, but how to bring down the Fu family.
On the last day, she thought about it very much, but she didn't notice that Wei Mingxi, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed for a long time, opened her eyes at some point and almost looked at her all the way.
Seeing the city wall of Xingyang, it was Wei Mingxi who reminded her loudly: "The capital has arrived." ”
Fu Rongyue jumped out of the carriage first, thinking that Wei Mingxi was unable to move, so she turned around and handed her palm to Wei Mingxi.
Wei Mingxi was stunned for a moment, her drooping eyes flashed a hint of color, but she didn't push her away, and got off the carriage with her palm.
The two stood side by side under the city wall, Wei Mingxi tilted his head slightly, looking at Fu Rongyue beside him, under the sun, the birthmark on the left side of her face became more and more hideous, and he couldn't help frowning.
Fu Rongyue naturally noticed that his gaze stayed on the birthmark, but over the years, she had felt the gaze that was more naked, disgusted, and disgusted than this kind of gaze, but she didn't feel annoyed, she reached out and stroked the left side of her face, and smiled faintly: "It's a birthmark, but it's bigger than ordinary people, and I'm used to looking at it." ”
"I thought...... You're going to say I'm sorry, didn't it scared you or something. Wei Mingxi's handsome face looked very serious.
Fu Rongyue raised her eyebrows in surprise: "The birthmark grows on me, it is given to me by God, ugly is ugly, I can't get used to it, why should I apologize to others for this?"
Wei Mingxi was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Under the city gates, such rampant laughter attracted pedestrians to come and go, and many people turned around. Seeing that it was him, he hurriedly avoided his gaze.
Wei Mingxi only smiled for a while without seeing it, before he stopped smiling and touched the corners of his eyes: "You are so interesting." ”
Yes, it's funny, in fact, how many people in this world think like this, but how many people dare to say it?
Fu Rongyue also laughed: "Your Highness is also very interesting. ”
Wei Mingxi was silent, but his hand reached into his arms and took out a gold medal, grabbed Fu Rongyue's hand and rested it in her palm: "This waist card belongs to my Lingwang Mansion, if you hold this thing, no one in Beijing dares to underestimate you." ”
Fu Rongyue paddled the waist card, which was heavy and useful to her, so she honestly and unceremoniously received it in her pocket: "I saved your life, you pull me, this deal is very cost-effective." Thank you Your Highness for giving me the waist card, you and I are clear, and we don't need to mention these things when we meet again in the future. It's getting late, and it's time for me to go about my business. Your Highness, I will gain a firm foothold in Beijing in the future, and I will definitely thank Your Highness for your support!"
"I'm waiting for you to be my true friend. These words surprised Wei Mingxi, and his tight jaw unconsciously softened a little.
Fu Rongyue waved her hand and led the convoy into the city gate without looking back.
Wei Mingxi watched her back disappear into the city gate, and her eyes gradually brightened.
A group of figures appeared behind him, and the guards in strong suits pushed the wheelchair behind him, and then knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, your subordinates are useless, let Your Highness be in danger, please punish Your Highness!"
Wei Mingxi sat in a wheelchair, the guard consciously put away the crutches in his hand, Wei Mingxi looked at the southwest of Kyoto, the corners of his mouth curled up a sinister smile, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Let's go, go home!"
"What about that girl......?" said the guard, raising his hand and gesturing lightly around his neck.
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "No need. After a pause, he added: "Yao Yuan, don't you remember her?"
The guard known as Yao Yuan looked dazed, and after a little thought, a hideous and terrifying face suddenly jumped into his mind. Fu Rongyue! That girl just now was really Su Juan's only daughter! She really entered Beijing as His Highness expected, and she came to Kyoto with His Highness! He almost subconsciously whispered: "Your Highness, she is Fu Rongyue!"
That impostor that the Fu family wants to use to replace Fu Rongqin to marry His Royal Highness!
Wei Mingxi read her name softly: "Fu Rongyue." ”
It turned out that her full name was called this.
He recognized her as soon as he woke up that morning at the inn, but he pretended not to know her all the way to avoid something. He knew that the people in the village called her Yue'er, and the coachman called her Boss Yue, and it was the first time he had heard of her full name!
Yao Yuan was shocked: "Your Highness, did she recognize you?"
If she hadn't recognized Her Highness and knew that Her Highness's status was precious, how could she leave her mother who had just entered the earth and the Fu family and enter Beijing with Her Highness?
Hmph, what kind of filial daughter, isn't she a master who covets wealth and wealth?
Wei Mingxi didn't notice Yao Yuan's face, how did he know that Yao Yuan's stomach had turned so much, he raised his head, thought about it for a while, and then said: "She came to Kyoto to do business, she can take care of it, let Lao Jiu take care of it, maybe one day, she will become a sharp blade for us to deal with the Fu family." ”
"Can she help us deal with the Fu family?" Yao Yuan expressed doubts, what can a country girl who is greedy for wealth and wealth do?
Wei Mingxi didn't answer him again, thinking of the Fu family, he thought of a lot of things: "What have you found out about those people?"
"The latest news comes back that it was him who did it. Yao Yuan said, leaning into Wei Mingxi's ear and saying a name.
Wei Mingxi listened, and the corners of his mouth pulled a sneer: "I'm impatient!"
With just these few words, Yao Yuan knew what it meant, and he pushed Wei Mingxi into the city gate, and his heart was already thinking quickly......
At this time, Fu Rongyue had already entered the city with the convoy, and on the long Kyoto Avenue, every scene and object was very familiar, full of all kinds of memories. Fu Rongyue desperately opened her eyes wide, endured the hot flashes that gradually surged in her eyes, and stood quietly for a moment before finally suppressing the swelling soreness that kept surging in her heart.
Although she lived in Beijing for many years in her previous life, she was promoted by the Fu family as having a bad reputation since she came to the capital, and when she went out for the first time, she was pointed at sarcastically by people all over the street, and some people even threw rotten cabbage and rotten eggs at her. Since then, she has never been out again, and she is not familiar with the capital.
Later, Sister Yan Shan, who was still proficient in disguise techniques, modified her appearance and took her out of the house to play without telling everyone, and she learned about Kyoto Avenue......
Fu Rongyue closed her eyes and subconsciously looked up at the end of Kyoto Avenue, where the Mei family was located. She took a few deep breaths, and finally controlled her feet.
After calming down, Fu Rongyue led the convoy straight to the inn, she booked an upper room, and after paying the coachman for the past few days, she dismissed them. For the next half day, she ran alone on several main streets in Kyoto, weighed the pros and cons, ruthlessly pawned a few more expensive jewelry, and bought a shop on Shifang Street next to Kyoto Avenue. After that, she quickly finalized the decoration of the store, and several truckloads of porcelain were transported from the inn to the backyard of the shop.
Fu Rongyue was not in a hurry to open, she selected some extraordinarily fine white porcelain and put it on the counter, and the rest was still in the bracelet, and she would take it out when all the shops were renovated.
In the next few days, Fu Rongyue recruited two more guys to have an account room, and the shop was named "Rong Hui Ji", made a signboard, and hung up the shop.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
Three days before the opening, Fu Rongyue didn't do anything, and every day she carried a fruit basket, loaded it with novel candies, and distributed it to the children on the street.
In less than half a day, several folk songs circulated in Beijing:
"The wind blows, the flowers are delicate, there is a white porcelain kiln in Beijing; the white porcelain is good, the white porcelain is wonderful, and a thousand white porcelain smiles. ”
"There is no porcelain and no wealth, and there are many powerful people in porcelain. Who is the leader in porcelain, white porcelain dares to take responsibility. ”
“……”
As these songs spread, the people of Kyoto gradually paid attention to the white porcelain shop that had just opened on Sifang Street, and word of mouth said that before Fu Rongyue opened, some people came to see what the white porcelain known as the "king of porcelain" looked like. This time, I saw the boutiques that Fu Rongyue surprised to select and put on the counter for exhibition, and suddenly, many people's eyes couldn't turn their eyes.
Among them, there are many princes and nobles, they are all trump cards of evaluation, once they say a "good" word, the status of white porcelain rose to the top almost overnight.
Someone asked for the price, and the guys replied to the customer according to what Fu Rongyue said, so the porcelain was going to be sold on the day it opened.
It's okay now, you can see it, you can touch it, but you can't buy it, this is just tickling everyone's heart!
On the night before the opening, the big families in Beijing had already gotten the news, and they were all excitedly waiting for the opening of Rong Hui Ji the next day.
Fu Rongyue made another bold decision, she asked her friends to make a lot of beautiful envelopes, make invitations and deliver them to the prestigious mansions in Kyoto, and invite these powerful people to come to the opening ribbon cutting of Rong Hui Kee the next day.
However, unlike other people's ribbon cuttings, Fu Rongyue also appended a few exquisite white porcelain paintings in the invitation, indicating that these white porcelains are the only ones in this batch of porcelain, and the lucky ones will be randomly selected from the guest list in tomorrow's opening ribbon cutting, and they will get these superb porcelain for free!
"Shopkeeper, did you say that those officials and gentlemen will come tomorrow?" It was night, and the guys of Rong Huiji were still tidying up the shop and striving for a perfect appearance tomorrow, one of them touched these thin porcelain, and his heart was very bottomless, and he couldn't help but ask Fu Rongyue.
Fu Rongyue smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if the official master comes or not, even if there is only one subordinate in their house, our Ronghui Ji's signboard can also be launched." ”
"Why?" the guy didn't understand.
Fu Rongyue patted him on the shoulder confidently: "You'll know tomorrow." ”
She stretched and returned all the porcelain from the bracelet to the crate in the backyard at once, consuming so much energy that she was really a little tired.
She turned around and went into the backyard, her eyes shining, thinking about tomorrow's things, and her heart swelled with unprecedented fighting spirit!
Fu Jia...... I think she also started from scratch in porcelain back then, and she really looks forward to the day when the ancestral industry that the Fu family is proud of is crushed!
