Zhan Da Niu was extremely difficult to convince this time, no matter what Fu Rongyue said, he just firmly refused: "No, she is a girl, she follows me at a young age, even if the two of us are nothing, what do outsiders think?

The two of them insisted on their own opinions, and no one could persuade anyone, but Mei Lin, who had been beside her, suddenly interjected: "Master Zhan doesn't have to worry about Mei Lin, if that person is really Mei Lin's destined person, he will definitely not doubt me because of this, let alone dislike me." ”

Having said that, Zhan Da Niu couldn't continue to shirk it, so he had to agree.

However, he said first: "I am just a country boy, so I can't do the work of calling people, so Miss Mei is here, I will set a separate yard for Miss Mei, and treat Miss Mei as a sister." If Miss Mei has a better place to go in the future, I will never interfere. ”

This is a foregone conclusion.

Mei Lin was taken by Rong Huiji's men to settle down, Fu Rongyue instructed her some words, and then discussed the matter of the shop with Zhan Da Niu.

According to Fu Rongyue's plan, if she wants to become bigger and stronger, she must have a strong enough backer.

Wei Mingxi is naturally a trump card, but with the deepening of the current situation, Fu Rongyue found that Wei Mingxi, as the only prince of this dynasty, has a good name, not much real power, and some things are still more than enough but not enough, and it is necessary to wait for the right time, Wei Mingxi stood up step by step, and held the rights that this prince should have in the palm of his hand, so that the safety of the two could be truly guaranteed - after all, it is better to rely on others than on yourself!

Leaving Wei Mingxi aside, what she can rely on now is Mei Xiangrong. But Mei Xiangrong has a special status and can't be involved too much for the time being.

Fu Rongyue thought about it for more than two months, but decided to form her own forces, originally she had no money, but now that she has money, she will start from the most basic.

"White porcelain is becoming more and more popular in Kyoto, and two more shops selling white porcelain have recently opened, so we can't always rely on this job. I've asked Pothos to investigate, and the porcelain in these shops is good, but the location is not good, and it's not good at management, so it's about to go out of business now. Fu Rongyue took out a few pieces of paper from her arms, took out one of them, and said: "Starting tomorrow, you will start to collect these shops and merge them into Ronghui Ji, if you can't do these things, I have already told Zhu Manshan and asked him to help you." ”

Zhan Da Niu nodded: "Okay, what about these ones?"

"Do you know the caravan?" Fu Rongyue asked.

Zhan Da Niu shook his head, and Fu Rongyue continued: "According to what Lin Dashan said, I also got a reliable report from King Ling, and now the salt tea trade between Kyoto and other countries is changed hands through the horse gang. ”

The Horse Gang is a large gang organized by the Great Wei Dynasty today, and its activities are in the northwest region, and they are merchants on horseback. First of all, from the Central Plains, they purchased tea bricks, salt bricks, silk, ceramics and other items, formed a convoy, and left the Central Plains from Yuyang Pass, traveled far away, passed through Chimeng, passed through Loulan, Cheshi, Gumo, and finally reached the farther west. These outsiders are very fond of ceramics and silk fabrics in the Central Plains, and salt tea is a necessity for their lives, so they can trade all the way through. The people of the Ma Gang sold these items from the Central Plains at a high price, and brought back countless gold, gems and jade artifacts from outside the fortress, and each team could basically make a lot of money.

But there are opportunities and risks, and the caravan merchants never make mistakes, the key is that they have their own independent system, and they have enough power to protect their convoys from the harassment of border robbers.

"But we don't have that power. Zhan Da Niu already understood that Fu Rongyue wanted to do business with the horse gang.

Fu Rongyue nodded and chuckled: "Yes, we don't have it, but soon we will have." That's what I'm looking for you to do today!"

Zhan Da Niu was shocked: "You want to ask me to build a team like a horse gang?"

"You prepare," Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled: "In a few days, go to the northwest with me!"

Speaking of which, Mei Lin had settled down and returned to Rong Hui Ji. Fu Rongyue explained a few words and was about to leave.

Mei Lin was very reluctant, her eyes were red and she was about to cry, but finally held back, and waved her to the carriage with Zhan Da Niu.

Fu Rongyue was also very melancholy in her heart, there were more and more things to do, and many things were pressing on her heart, making her a little tired. She closed her eyes and rested on the cushion, Mei Shan didn't dare to say a word, just kept looking back at Mei Lin, who was getting smaller and smaller, and sighed quietly.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Fu Rongyue, who was leaning on it, had an unstable center of gravity and fell towards her all of a sudden.

Mei Shan hurriedly caught Fu Rongyue, and while opening the curtain and complaining, "Uncle Qin, what's the matter? Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Miss, I'm sorry, it's not that the old slave deliberately wants to toss, it's a carriage that suddenly rushed over from the opposite side......" Uncle Qin, the coachman, hurriedly apologized, but before he finished speaking, he heard a violent shouting and scolding on the crowded street: "Don't you have long eyes?

Fu Rongyue opened her eyes and asked in a light tone, "Whose carriage is it?"

"Miss, there is a Cai character printed on the car. Mei Shan glanced at it, and looked back with some certainty.

Fu Rongyue was stunned for a moment, and then understood. There is only one wealthy family surnamed Cai in Kyoto, and it seems that the carriage opposite should be the two young ladies from Cai Guo's hometown.

Cai Zhiqin, the eldest lady of the Cai family, promised to marry the eldest prince Wei Mingchun, and she didn't want Wei Mingchun to rebel, so she naturally didn't marry. Because it was the marriage of the Son of Heaven, the Cai family did not participate in the rebellion, so Emperor Shou did not implicate the Cai Mansion. But Emperor Shou did not say anything about the marriage contract, resulting in the embarrassing situation that she has no one to marry and no one dares to propose marriage.

The second lady Cai Zhiqi promised to marry Wei Mingyuan, the king of Qi, and now Wei Mingyuan is in full swing, and her worth is also rising, I heard that someone from the Cai family **** came to visit. Fortunately, this second lady is a gentle lady, even if she is looked down upon, she has never relied on her identity to make any rumors.

At this time, it is impossible for Cai Zhiqin to go out, it seems to be Cai Zhiqi.

Fu Rongyue didn't want to have any conflict with the Cai family, even if Uncle Qin said that she was dealing with recklessness, she still rubbed her temples and ordered softly: "Uncle Qin, apologize to her, let's go." ”

Uncle Qin's cautious apology came from outside the car, but somehow, the quieter Uncle Qin's voice was, the louder the other party's voice became.

"Your young lady is in a hurry, and our young lady also has it, I really think that this road belongs to the king of Ling, you can go as you want!"

Fu Rongyue was angry when she said this, she couldn't help but pick up the curtain, and when she met the other party, she also opened the curtain, looking at each other, obviously Cai Zhiqi was very surprised.

The two looked at each other for a moment from a distance, and Cai Zhiqi showed a warm smile on his face: "It turned out to be Princess Ling's car, it's really rude." ”

"Miss Cai. Fu Rongyue's reaction was flat, the coachman's words just now made her extremely uncomfortable, and her evaluation of this Miss Cai Er also fell to the lowest.

Cai Zhiqi said with a smile: "If I knew that it was Princess Ling's car, there would be no such misunderstanding, the next person is not sensible, and please don't be surprised by Princess Ling." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at her coachman, and ordered in a very indifferent tone: "If you offend Princess Ling, don't hurry up and apologize to her, if His Royal Highness King Ling asks about the crime, do you think you can still live?"

This frightened the coachman very much, and no one in Kyoto knew the name of the king of Ling? He jumped out of the carriage at once, and his knees weakened, and he knelt on the spot.

When Fu Rongyue heard Cai Zhiqi's words, she felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the coachman to leave.

Cai Zhiqi's coachman had just landed on his knees, and her carriage had already moved forward, and she was not subject to this kneeling.

She didn't walk away immediately, she walked a short distance, the bodies of the two carriages were flat, and she spoke to Cai Zhiqi through the curtain: "Since it was a misunderstanding, why bother to make such a big salute, please get up." If Miss Cai has nothing to do, Rong Yue will leave. ”

"Please!" Cai Zhiqi smiled and asked her to go first.

The two carriages staggered by, and after walking a long way, Mei Shan suddenly said: "Strange, although our car does not have the mark of the Lingwang Mansion, it can be written with the word Fu." Now that Madame is not in the mansion, everyone knows it, why does Miss Cai seem to have no scruples?"

"Wei Mingyuan is a new favorite, hot, she will marry Wei Mingyuan in a few days, so she is naturally not afraid. Fu Rongyue explained lightly.

After returning from Anshan, Emperor Shou gave marriage to several masters, and also set Wei Mingyuan's wedding date by the way, which was on November 18, counting the days, it was more than half a month.

Speaking of this, Mei Shan also laughed: "Speaking of which, the capital will be lively on November 18, and on a good day and auspicious day, His Majesty personally decreed that there would be several mansions in the capital to marry on that day." Well...... King Qi married Concubine Cai Zhiqi, He Fanglu and He Gongzi married Miss Shen, Lord Bai married his daughter, and Zhu Yuanwai's eldest son married his wife, all of which were rushed together. Ah, by the way, there is also Nangong Ze's son taking a concubine! So many families marry daughters-in-law and daughters, and they don't know how to cope with it when the time comes. ”

Fu Rongyue was silent, and also agreed with her statement, these kings of the tombs have dealings, and they really have to arrange a time to congratulate them when the time comes.

After such a delay, the time to return to the mansion was a little later than Fu Rongyue expected, but she didn't expect that as soon as her carriage stopped in the backyard, Qu Yingying's figure appeared outside the side door.

When she saw Fu Rongyue, she immediately showed a surprised expression on her face, walked up quickly, and naturally reached out to hold Fu Rongyue's arm: "Rongyue, why are you here? What a coincidence! It just so happens that I have something I want to tell you!"

What a coincidence? This person comes to Xiaoxiang Courtyard every day, and she hides out again, she clearly calculates the time, and she can wait for herself here!

Fu Rongyue was vigilant in her heart, but she smiled quietly: "It's a coincidence, this mansion is not big or small, how did you meet it? What does Miss Qu have to say to Rong Yue?"
