Chapter 118: No Favor (1st Update)
Looking at his brother who said that if he didn't marry, he wouldn't marry, and he would do whatever he wanted, his mother was very obedient to him, and Fu Yunlang felt very uncomfortable. That's why he took over these chores at the suggestion of the fifth master, and vowed to make some achievements to make his mother respect his ideas.
At the same time, he also let Zhao Ruyu know that he is the best man in the world. If she doesn't marry him, she will regret it.
And the source of all this is led by this country girl named Xu Xi.
If it weren't for her appearance, how could Zhao Ruyu be in a difficult situation in the Hou Mansion, how could she become the object of criticism in the capital, and how could their marriage make waves?
Because he was thinking about the problem from the perspective of Zhao Ruyu, Fu Yunlang didn't have a good impression of Xu Xi, the real daughter, from the beginning.
At this time, Huang Xing mentioned this, Fu Yunlang remembered Xu Xi's growth environment, and snorted coldly.
A woman who grew up in the market and the countryside, I am afraid that she has never seen a few kinds of jewelry, where can she design a good jewelry picture? The bird's jewelry was either drawn by mistake or stolen from someone else's drawing to sell it for money.
"Hmph, don't bother with that man. The fifth master, I will explain to him. Fu Yunlang said.
Seeing that Fu Yunlang's face was very bad, Huang Xing didn't dare to ask a word, but said, "Yes, second son." I breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, it is naturally better to have more than less.
Fu Yunlang did not immediately return to the banquet, but stood outside for a while, thought of the wording, and then returned to the banquet.
"Second master, fifth master, shopkeeper Huang asked me to go out just now because he contacted that Miss Xu." He said.
Xiao Lingyan raised his head indifferently.
"I don't know if you have heard of the incident in which the Hou Mansion of Slow Ping held the wrong child? That Miss Xu is the daughter of the Hou Mansion who was held by mistake and grew up in the countryside. β
"Oh?" Xiao Lingyan became interested, "She is the girl who made the mistake with your fiancΓ©e?" β
Fu Yunlang coughed lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I am not engaged to Miss Zhao Liu, so I am not a fiancΓ©e." β
After explaining this, he nodded again: "It's that one." β
He smiled bitterly: "So that girl learned that Yulong Pavilion was my property, so she expressed her unwillingness to cooperate with me. She said that her jewelry drawings were all bought by the county lord of Qingyang. β
"I see." Xiao Lingyan waved her hand carelessly, "It's okay, she is not the only one who can design jewelry, as long as you have this awareness." β
Xiao Lingpu, the second prince who has not spoken much, suddenly spoke: "There are a lot of novel jewelry in the concubine Niangniang, when the time comes, I will ask her who painted it, and ask that person to draw a few jewelry pictures for you Yinlou." However, the style is definitely different from what the mother wears. β
The noble concubine Niangniang Cen family, from the Cen family in the capital, is the mother of the second prince Xiao Lingpu and the fifth prince Xiao Lingyan. Those who are qualified to make jewelry for her must be the top people among the jewelry craftsmen.
Fu Yunlang was overjoyed, stood up and bowed to Xiao Lingpu: "Thank you, second master." He waved at Xiao Lingyan again, "Thank you, Fifth Master." β
Xiao Lingyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Listening to you, it seems to be quite fun to do business." If you are going to open a silver building in the capital, I will also participate in it. β
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Lingpu: "Second brother, I'll play with this, don't tell your mother, save her from scolding me again, saying that I am competing with the people for profit." β
Xiao Lingpu glanced at his younger brother, with some doting and helplessness in his eyes.
He turned his head to Fu Yunlang and said, "If you can, Fu Er, you can take the fifth child to play." But you also know the royal rules, our prince can't do business in private. The fifth child can give money and give you ideas, but on the surface, your business has nothing to do with him. β
"Yes. The fifth master is smart and does everything very well. With the fifth master secretly coming up with an idea, our business will definitely be bigger and better. Fu Yunlang's face was full of joy when he said this.
He wasn't pretending to be happy.
He also knew that because they were stationed at the border passes, they had a bit of a thin face in front of the emperor. In order to stabilize the border pass, if there is any reward and commendation, the emperor will not forget to mention the Pingnan Hou Mansion. But how many relatives and wealthy families are there in Beijing? He wanted to open the silver building to the capital and grab business with other people who opened the silver building, and others would not sell his face in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
When the time comes, there will be a bloody storm.
But if there are five princes behind it, it will be different. As long as the five princes send a word, others can sell them a little face.
The most important thing is that isn't the eldest brother friendly with the second prince? Now that he, Fu Yunlang, has taken the opportunity to do business and has also made friends with the five princes, doesn't he have his own connections in the royal family like his brother? Although it is not better than my brother, at least I am not inferior to my brother, right?
"Originally, I wanted to start the business of Yulong Court first, and then expand to the capital. Now with the phrase of the fifth master, I think the steps can be bigger. What do you think, Fifth Master? He immediately hit the snake with the stick and discussed the business with Xiao Lingyan.
"I'm in a hurry. Wait for Yulon Court's business to be straightened out, and then it's not too late to expand. Xiao Lingyan waved his hand.
"Yes."
Fu Yunlang shook his eyes and secretly made up his mind that he would come to Yulong Pavilion more during this time and urge Shopkeeper Huang to do a better job in the silver building business.
After eating, the group returned to the capital.
After entering the city gate, everyone separated, Xiao Lingpu and Xiao Lingyan returned to the palace, and the Fu brothers returned to Pingnanhou Mansion.
Fu Yunlang looked at the sky and said to his brother, "Brother, you go back first." I've got something going on and I'll be home later. β
Fu Yunkai guessed that his younger brother was going to find the sixth girl from the Hou Mansion of Slow Ping. But he didn't stop him, he just "snorted", waved his hand, rode his horse with his servants, and went away.
Fu Yunlang went to a teahouse that Zhao Ruyu had to pass when he came home from school, and his little servant was familiar with the intersection at a certain distance from the teahouse and stood up, waiting for Zhao Ruyu's carriage to pass by.
The time of dismissal of the Beijing Girls' Academy has always been very punctual, and after a while, the carriage with the logo of the Suiping Marquis Mansion slowly drove over.
When he almost arrived at the intersection, Fu Shu lifted the curtain and looked out, and when he saw Fu Yunlang's little girl, he hurriedly turned his head and whispered to Zhao Ruyu in the car: "Girl, Changping is at the intersection." β
Zhao Ruyu glanced sideways and glanced outside, and instructed the coachman: "Stop at the teahouse in front." β
Changping followed the carriage for a few steps, watching the carriage stop, Zhao Ruyu led Fu Shu into the teahouse, and no one followed behind, so he quickly went upstairs.
Because Fu Yunlang wanted to meet Zhao Ruyu, he had booked a private room in this teahouse for many years. After Changping went upstairs, he didn't go in, but stood guard at the door.
