In August, the Fu family moved to Beijing.

This was not a big deal, but the emperor knew about it, and with a wave of his hand, he was rewarded with a lot of things.

This exposed the Fu family, who originally wanted to keep a low profile, to the public eye, and there was no way to keep a low profile.

Fu Yun thought about it deeply, and simply held a housewarming banquet with great fanfare, inviting Ye Xiyang and other friends, as well as those colleagues that Mrs. Fu asked him to befriend.

But those who are in a position will have suspicions when it is difficult to read.

Fu Yunshen befriended the courtiers openly, showing that he wanted to glorify the Fu family's enterprising spirit, and also saved the emperor from seeing him too honest and privately wondering if he was doing some small moves.

The Fu family made a comeback, and the situation in Beijing and Central China secretly changed.

Although Fu Yunshen is only a six-rank petty official now, he is the champion of the new department, and he is respected by the emperor, and the official office he serves in is the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy, in charge of the history of the country, drafted the edict, participated in the secrets, and selected talents for the cabinet.

As soon as he entered Hanlin, it was equivalent to stepping into the highest center of power in the court on one leg, and the ultimate goal was the position above ten thousand people under one person in the court, the head of the cabinet.

Although Fu Yunshen's official position is small at this time, his power is great, and the future is immeasurable and cannot be ignored.

Therefore, the Fu family's first appearance in Beijing was eagerly awaited by everyone, which made the Wu family, who presided over the feed, a little embarrassed.

In the past, when the Fu family was at its peak, she also experienced it and knew the extravagant living habits of this big family in Beijing.

The prices in Beijing are already high, and the aristocracy lives in luxury, and they like to compare with each other.

After a banquet is held, it is so small that it is necessary to use a certain exquisite invitation to not be despised by a certain hall, and it is as large as the gorgeous and precious landscape in the garden to be amazing, and there are all kinds of things, and it has to cost nearly a thousand taels of silver.

This is really a bit stretched for the Fu family's finances, whose living standard in the county is only middle-to-upper.

At this time, it reflected Mrs. Fu's foresight - marrying Zhou Jingrong, the god of wealth, for the Fu family.

Zhou Jingrong offered to bear the cost of the banquet.

Mrs. Fu disagreed: "No matter how profitable your shop is, it is also your dowry, how can there be any reason for you to use the dowry to supplement the public school?" ”

Spending her daughter-in-law's money is really not good to say, so Zhou Jingrong has to be coquettish and beg her grandfather to tell her grandmother in order to give away the silver, which is really tiring.

"Grandmother, the banquet at home is not for the husband's career, since it is for the husband, how can I stand idly by? Let me do your part! ”

Old Mrs. Fu looked at Zhou Jingrong, who had sincere eyes, and her heart was moved.

It's not because Zhou Jingrong is willing to spend money, but because of her attitude of sharing honor and disgrace with the Fu family, doesn't this mean that they are a family, which makes her very pleased.

Mrs. Fu held Zhou Jingrong's hand, and said guiltily and lovingly: "Rong Niang, I've hurt you." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled and was very weak-hearted.

She is not short of money, but how could Fu Yunshen let her pay out of her own pocket? So she spent Fu Yunshen's money and got the gratitude of the whole family, which is really embarrassing.

However, she has done a lot of this, and she is used to being thick-skinned.

Fu Jiao proposed, in line with the idea that it was Zhou Jingrong's silver anyway, and that it would not be spent in vain: "Mother, since you want to make friends with the powerful people in Beijing, the clothes and jewelry of the ladies in the family have to be changed, after all, the popular fashion in Beijing is very different from Puhe, if it is plain and makes people see the joke, Erlang will also lose face." I heard that the Beijing Splendid Workshop is the most famous, so I would like to go here to tailor. ”

Fu Jiao's words are all about dressing up for the banquet, so as not to embarrass Fu Yunshen, which means that Zhou Jingrong will take the money.

The splendid workshop is the first clothing shop in Beijing, the most sought after by the daughters of noble women, a set of clothes costs a hundred taels of silver, many female dependents of the Fu family, how much does it cost?

Wu frowned displeasedly, feeling that Fu Jiao was too much, how could there be a reason for the junior to spend money to buy clothes?

As soon as she wanted to open her mouth to stop her, Zhou Jingrong responded first: "Okay, grandmother, we can take this opportunity to go out together, feel the humanistic atmosphere in Beijing, and quickly integrate into it." ”

Zhou Jingrong is trying to go out for a stroll and inspect the market by the way.

She still plans to follow the old path and use comics to develop peripheral industries such as clothing and accessories by the way, so she wants to see the fashion trend in Beijing, and she has a score in mind when setting makeup for comic characters.

Mrs. Fu responded with a smile, but she quietly gave Luo Fan a look.

Luo Fan has been by Mrs. Fu's side since she was a child, and she has been with her for many years, so she naturally understands what she means with one look.

Luo Fan quietly retreated, went to Mrs. Fu's private treasury to get a silver ticket, and added silver for clothes and jewelry for the Fu family's daughters, saying that Zhou Jing could not let anything go.

Zhou Jingrong rushed to find Fu Yunshen, just when Ye Xiyang came to visit, the two of them and Fu Yu went out with a large family of children of the Fu family.

Brother Zhen and Sister Zhu are still young, and it is the time to see everything novel.

The streets in Beijing are wide, the market is bustling, and two little people are huddled together by the car window to look outside, muttering something.

Zhou Jingrong leaned over curiously, and found that the two of them were not on the same channel at all, but they were talking hotly, and they suddenly felt funny.

Fu Chunhua teased: "I like to be born by myself!" ”

Zhou Jingrong blushed, and she didn't dare to laugh at her daughter.

Jinxiufang is located in the center of Beijing, and the buildings here are all shops, with three floors high, and the traffic is all fragrant cars and BMWs, which is enough to see its prosperity.

The group walked into the splendid workshop, and the shopkeeper came forward.

Although he didn't know the Fu family, he knew Ye Xiyang, seeing that he was accompanied by the prince of Zhenguo, and there were many female dependents, knowing that there was a big business, he respectfully invited the group to the private room, served tea and pastries, and brought all the clothes and jewelry patterns in the store for the guests to choose.

Zhou Jingrong was not here, so she pulled Fu Yunshen to accompany her out. She wanted to see the layout and business model of Fairview Workshop, so that she could learn business experience.

There are no ready-to-wear garments in the fairplace, only fabrics on the first floor, private rooms on the second floor, and tailoring rooms and accounts on the third floor.

The guest chooses the clothes and fabrics through the album, then tailors the clothes, pays the silver, leaves the address, and the ready-to-wear will be delivered to the house in a few days.

The same is true for jewelry, which is not displayed outside, and when the guests have selected it, they will be presented for a second choice.

Guests usually complete the shopping process in private rooms, and few people walk around outside, and the whole process is not seen, which is similar to online shopping, but lacks the fun of shopping.

The difference is that all the clothing patterns on the water side have finished products, which can be seen and tried on by guests.

After all, there is a certain difference between the pattern and the real thing, and there is a certain difference between the effect of the real thing and the effect worn on the body.

Zhou Jingrong walked around outside, and saw that there was nothing to see outside, so he and Fu Yunshen went back to the private room.

The two walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, but saw Lin Shutong standing at the staircase with his back to them, and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes stood opposite her, with a bejeweled and angry face, followed by several maids and servants, domineering.

Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen were about to step forward to ask what happened, but they saw that the woman suddenly reached out and pushed Lin Shutong hard.

Lin Shutong was unguarded, and fell straight down.

Zhou Jingrong was shocked, Fu Yunshen hurriedly stepped forward and put his hands on Lin Shutong's shoulders, so that she would not fall.

Lin Shutong's face turned pale with fright, Zhou Jingrong took her from Fu Yunshen's hands, protected her in his arms, and asked the woman angrily: "This lady, where did my cousin offend you to make you such a killer?" ”

The woman saw that Lin Shutong was fine, and she was full of confidence: "Who made the killer, isn't she okay?" She stepped on my new shoes, my shoes are made of Shunan mulberry satin, this satin can't be washed, if it's dirty, you can't wear it, what's wrong with me pushing her? ”

Lin Shutong obviously has no experience in dealing with this kind of spicy woman, his eyes are crimson, and he argues with reason, but his momentum is weak: "I apologized to you and promised to compensate, why are you so aggressive?" ”

The woman snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Shutong with contempt, and said disdainfully: "Can you afford to pay?" ”

That kind of look like looking at ants made Lin Shutong very embarrassed, and he was speechless angrily.

Zhou Jingrong raised Lin Shutong's hand, revealing the red marks on Hao's wrist, and did not give in: "We haven't cared if you want medical expenses, do you still have the face to compensate us?" ”

Don't you just scold the street, Zhou Jingrong doesn't believe it, this woman who was oppressed by the strict etiquette of the deep house compound can still scold her as a social person?

Sure enough, the woman was extremely angry, and after saying a few "you", Fang said angrily: "A poor and sour look, just forget if you can't afford it!" ”

Zhou Jingrong sneered: "Madam is generous, why don't you see you calm down, but chase us for compensation, isn't it also a poor and sour look?" ”

"You!" The woman was so angry again that she was choked and speechless.

They argued for a long time, and there was a commotion, and people who had already done good things pretended to pass by to see the excitement.

Zhou Jingrong saw that this woman was stunned and made Lin Shutong angry, so naturally he would not be greedy for her cheapness, so he said: "How much are your shoes, just say the number." ”

The woman was so angry by Zhou Jingrong's charity-like expression and tone that she couldn't help but want to scold. Thanks to the maid beside her whispering a reminder, she noticed that there were onlookers.

She couldn't afford to be seen as a joke, so she could only say unwillingly: "Five hundred taels of silver, send it to Ling Mansion." Ming'er can't see the money, I want you to look good! ”

She said that, and didn't wait for Zhou Jingrong to answer, so she left with her subordinates in a huff.

Ling Mansion?

Zhou Jingrong frowned and glanced at Fu Yunshen.

Fu Yunshen knew what Zhou Jingrong was thinking, nodded his head, and said in a low voice: "A married woman, who lives in the Ling Mansion, should be Ling Xie's daughter according to her age. ”

Zhou Jingrong is very unhappy, Ling Xie's daughter, isn't Chen Jinghuai just for her to betray Wei Chirou and rush to become a son-in-law, it's really a narrow road!
