Chapter 59: Counterattack
Ruyu sent Mo Xin to the door of the Fortune Building, and didn't want to put her down, so she asked tentatively, "Where is your home?" β
"In the beautiful jade country, it's quite close to Huiyun City." This answers the question, and doesn't want Ruyu to know her identity.
Mo Xin said that he wanted to jump off by himself.
Ruyu was afraid of falling on her, so she hurriedly jumped off the horse and hugged her carefully.
Ruyu was about to say something, but Dongmei suddenly ran out, "Childe, where have you been, I'm worried for a long time." β
She came here to pick up the princess, and after waiting for half an hour, the princess did not come, and she was so thirsty that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she went in and drank a sip of water, and came out, and saw the princess coming back.
"It's okay, I just went out with Ruyu for a while, this is the lotus seed he picked."
Saying that, Mo Xin turned his head to Ruyu and said politely: "Thank you, be careful on the way back." β
"Hmm." Ruyu was a little reluctant to drive away on horse.
I was thinking of following behind Carefree and seeing where her family lived. Now it seems that she is guarding against him.
Forget it, he'll go when she's willing to speak. lest he provoke her, and then he will not even be able to speak.
Maybe he was too anxious, so it was self-defeating.
In the carriage, Mo Xin and Dongmei were peeling lotus seeds and eating, thinking of Ruyu's confession, they were a little absent-minded.
Ruyu is a rare good person, very simple, in his world, maybe everyone smiles at him.
In this kind of life, Mo Xin is very envious, but everything is just envy, because some things can be changed without envy and hard work, such as background.
What hard work can change is only the fate of the future, even if you become rich and powerful in the future, you can't change your background.
It's like having some regrets that you can't make up for in a lifetime.
The story of Cinderella marrying the prince is beautiful, but she doesn't have this life.
Hard work is the guarantee of a better life for her in the future.
Relying on herself is her fate in the future.
After all, the money in the hand is more reliable than the fickle heart.
In the past, the shopkeeper Chen of Zhaocailou was polite and flattering her, but now I see that she is always alienated, and after the rumors, I am in a good mood to see her.
Because of the friendliness of interests, they will inevitably be dispersed because of interests.
If you want to get a smile and a friendliness, you rely on your own ability after all.
"Dongmei, in the next few days, I'm going to Sanssouci Mansion to find Zhao Chuan to deal with the rumors, and you will deliver food to Miaoshou Pavilion for me."
"No, those who spread rumors are too hateful, and the princess will definitely take care of them." Dongmei got angry as she spoke, and she really wanted to pull those people out and throw them into the sun.
"That's natural, and there will be times when they cry later." Mo Xin's eyes were cold, slandering her behind her back like this had to pay a price.
Mo Xin thought for a moment, "If you meet Ruyu and ask about me, just say that I will solve the problem of rumors." As for where I am, don't tell him. He's a real man, and he's afraid of causing me trouble. β
"No."
At night, Mo Xin wore a long white dress, leaning against the window with a sad brow.
Looking at the stars outside, such a starry sky is really beautiful, and it can make people forget some of their worries for a while.
Knowing that simplicity is a very happy thing. But when she grew up, how did she ever give her a simple chance?
With words in the words, you have to be careful even chatting, for fear of being taken into the ditch and not knowing.
When you meet a powerful person, you can turn around a few times to sarcastically mock you, and if you don't think about it, you don't know if you're scolded.
Even in ancient times, many problems could not be avoided.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances, and many times all that can be done is to find a safe haven for yourself for the time being.
Such safe havens are constantly being destroyed and being built. After repetition, you will get tired and tired.
But there is no way, some people just can't build a safe and satisfactory haven in their lifetime.
Even so, it takes effort to maintain it.
As small as dust, you must also become the best in the dust.
Early the next morning, the carriage departed from the palace, and on the way, Moxin and Dongmei acted separately, and each hired a carriage.
Ruyu was dressed in a red robe, leading a horse, standing at the door of the Fortune Building, looking around.
Seeing that a carriage was coming, he hurriedly looked to see if it was worry-free.
Seeing Dongmei jump out of the carriage, he was immediately very happy and ran up.
The carriage turned around and walked away at this time, and his eyes were full of surprise, "This, your little ...... What about Childe? β
"My son-in-law has gone to deal with the rumors, and I have been here for the past few days."
Dongmei thought to herself: This princess is really a god, and this Ruyu seems to be here to guard the princess.
Ruyu was a little disappointed in her eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Then where did she go?" β
"I don't know, I'm just a maid, how can this master's affairs be reported to me."
Dongmei pretended to be completely unaware, and I have to say that it is more than enough to deceive Ruyu, a stupid boy.
"Young Master Ruyu, I still have something to do, go in first."
"Okay." Ruyu left the Zhaocai Building very worriedly, and he drove his horse in the direction of Meiyu Kingdom.
On the side of Sanssouci Mansion, Mo Xin was wearing a white robe, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, drinking Longjing tea, and listening to Zhao Chuan report the results of the investigation.
"After investigation, the people who spread the rumors were all several big fan merchants in the country of Meiyu. It is they who work together with other merchants to swagger in order to bring down the fan store you opened. β
"That's pretty much what I guessed. Fans are cooler and more convenient than fans, and there will only be more people using them, which is a big blow to their fan industry.
They hate me to the core, so naturally they will use any tricks. β
"How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Mo Xin said lightly: "First, each province invites a few well-known local storytellers to explain the whole story of this matter. I also need to ask some people to help me prove my innocence. Remember to ask the helper to remind me who would benefit from the damage to my reputation.
Second, find someone who is about the same size as me and cause an accident where my horse-drawn carriage overturned on my way to the food restaurant and my left leg was broken. And then let people spread the word about it.
Third, in other provinces of Meiyu Country, find a good store, buy it and start decorating. Opening time, wait for me to know.
When the rumors subside, it will be a good day for the rapid expansion of the food building. β
After Zhao Chuan heard this, he admired Mo Xin a little more.
"My subordinates will do it."
Ruyu was riding a horse, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, he asked passers-by and found a food restaurant that was open without worry.
Ouyang Dong was busy entertaining guests, and Guizi saw Ruyu dismount and walk in, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.
"Where's your carefree shopkeeper?" Ruyu asked a little anxiously.
"Hello this guest officer, she rarely comes to the store without worrying about the shopkeeper, and the affairs of our store are handled by the store manager Ouyang Dong. If you have a problem, look for him as well. Guizi said with some vigilance.
These days, the carefree shopkeeper has been attacked by rumors, and it is better not to disclose his whereabouts.
"I'm a friend of the shopkeeper, do you know where the shopkeeper likes to go?"
Guizi sounded even more suspicious, if it was really a friend, how could she not even know where the carefree shopkeeper liked to go.
Although the handsome man in front of him doesn't seem to have malicious intent, it's better to be cautious.
"Carefree has never liked to explain his whereabouts, and our store manager has to wait for him to come before he can report anything, and the villain doesn't know it anymore."
When Ruyu heard this, she also felt that this was a worry-free style.
"If the carefree shopkeeper comes, please tell her and say, 'Ruyu is looking for her.'" β
"Okay."
Ruyu turned around and got on the horse and went to other streets, hoping to meet worry-free.
Three days later, the rumor that Miyukoku was a 'murderer' came out with a counter-attack version.
Storytellers from all provinces are describing the truth in a colorful way.
People who heard the whole story felt that Carefree was a good person, and it was deliberately slandered by those profiteers for the sake of profit.
At the same time, people heard that Sanssouci encountered a profiteer on the road and sent someone to kill him, resulting in a broken left leg.
They all expressed deep sympathy for the carefree son, and hated those profiteers even more.
"Not only ruining people's reputations, but also wanting to harm people's lives, these profiteers are really hateful." A middle-aged man scolded.
"Carefree is really pitiful, these profiteers are really hateful." A thin woman said angrily.
"Hmph, I'll buy a fan from Worry-Free Son's house in the future." Another chubby woman angrily threw away the fan in her hand.
"I won't need a fan anymore." A woman angrily threw the fan in her hand on the ground and stomped on it twice.
Tuo on the side saw the effect and hurriedly echoed: "Let's go, let's go buy a fan for Worry-Free Son." The fan is labor-saving, and it is cool, buy two more, and anger those profiteers. β
"Yes, let's go together."
"Wait for me, I'll go too."
Everyone, you look at me and say a word, and you go to buy fans.
For a while, the originally deserted fan faΓ§ade became popular again, but the front of the fan shop was deserted.
A few profiteers who spread the rumors originally thought that the carefree son had been said to have no day to turn over, but who knew that he actually clarified the rumors and gained more sympathy because of his injury.
"Who did the ambush that stinky boy?" The older shopkeeper Ye stared angrily at the other shopkeepers.
He is sixty-five years old this year, the oldest of these fan-making shopkeepers.
Although he married five wives, all of them died of illness without cause, leaving no son and half a daughter. Or because of this, they are all rumoring that he is a wife, and no woman is willing to marry in.
Later, he became more and more obsessed with making fans, and slowly became the leader of the fan industry. Over the years, a person has become accustomed to it, and it has become indifferent.
For worry-free injury things, a few profiteers, you look at me, I look at you.
"If you have the courage to do it, you must have the courage to admit it!" Shopkeeper Ye slapped the table angrily, and he still wanted to hide it from him.
"Not me."
"It's not me, either."
"I didn't do it."
"I don't have the time to spare."
"If you're telling the truth, how did that stinky boy get ambushed? Could it be that he has offended someone else? Shopkeeper Ye frowned suspiciously.
