Chapter 47: Do you want to add some vinegar?
The enthusiastic response caused by the three sets of silk ready-to-wear produced in the water side directly established the brand's position as the leader of all the ready-to-wear shops in the city.
After that, Zhou Jingrong devoted herself to the preparation of the auction house.
Although Zhou Jingrong was angry about the mysterious person who only paid but refused to show up, the contract of their cooperation was stamped with the official seal, and the case was filed in the county office, which was absolutely foolproof, and there was nothing to worry about.
When it comes to opening a store, the first problem is the location of the location, and Zhou Jingrong thought of the previous jewelry store.
After merging the jewelry shop into the water side, she wanted to lease out the original storefront, but because the street in that place was full of rouge jewelry, it was not suitable for other businesses, but it was difficult to compete with time-honored brands in related businesses, so she did not rent it out for a long time.
Anyway, the auction house does not need to be open to the outside world like ordinary shops, mainly because it needs storage space and auction space, so the location is not so important, and with its own shop, even the rent is saved.
So Zhou Jingrong immediately made a decision and opened the auction house at the original location of the jewelry shop.
Zhou Jingrong was resolute, and Rongsheng Auction House soon appeared in people's field of vision.
Master Zhou saw Zhou Jingrong's ability, and several originally dilapidated shops were all thriving in her hands, so he no longer had the intention of testing her and stood by to her difficulties, but shared his network resources with her without hesitation.
Master Zhou has been in business for many years, and the accumulated network resources are like an inexhaustible treasure mountain for Zhou Jingrong, which has benefited her considerably.
The most intuitive manifestation is that people come to the door every day with rare treasures, and the business of the auction house is very prosperous.
When Zhou Jingrong was busy, he didn't notice some things that had happened to the Fu family recently.
On a rare idle day, Zhou Jingrong went to say hello to Mrs. Fu, and met Fu Jiao who was walking out angrily at the door.
When Fu Jiao saw Zhou Jingrong, she glanced at her fiercely, as if she had some deep hatred for her, and she was dissatisfied with her.
Fu Jiao is an elder, and Zhou Jingrong is not good at competing with her. Besides, having lived under the same roof for so long, Zhou Jingrong also has a certain understanding of her.
She is just a strong outsider, so she is reckless in words, and she has not done anything bad, so Zhou Jingrong is too lazy to bother with her.
It's just that Zhou Jingrong listened to Fu Jiao's more and more outrageous words, what "If it weren't for the fact that she might inherit the Zhou family's property and have some value, Fu Yunshen would have divorced her a long time ago, so that she wouldn't be complacent" and the like, I don't know if she was belittling Zhou Jingrong, or belittled herself, or even the entire Fu family.
Since Mrs. Fu reprimanded and punished Zhou Jingrong for embarrassing Zhou Jingrong everywhere because of Fu Jiao, her attitude has improved a lot, although she still doesn't have a good face for Zhou Jingrong when they meet, she will no longer make sarcastic and provocative remarks.
This time, she didn't know who provoked her, so she vented her resentment on Zhou Jingrong.
This question was answered when Zhou Jingrong chatted with Fu Raohua in the afternoon.
Fu Raohua came to Zhou Jingrong to play, and the two moved to the garden.
Fu Raohua sat in the gazebo embroidering a purse, while Zhou Jingrong brought a drawing board to make a picture of a beautiful woman's embroidery.
Fu Raohua said: "My aunt is upset, it's for Cousin Tong's marriage. Grandmother is the one who cousin Tong looks at, and my aunt doesn't like it. ”
Zhou Jingrong then remembered that although Lin Shutong and Fu Raohua were only fifteen years old, in this era, they had reached the age where they could talk about marriage.
However, she still couldn't understand Fu Jiao's inexplicable tantrum: "It's good if you don't refuse, why be angry." ”
Fu Raohua sighed: "Alas, that family is the cousin of Mrs. County Shou, and it is Mrs. County Shou's cousin who comes to propose marriage, so it is not easy to refuse." ”
In these years, the official is bigger than the people, but anyone who can have a relationship with the official family can go sideways, so this family is considered good.
And the cousin of this county guard lady is Fu Yunshen's classmate, before the county guard's daughter Cheng Yueqi came to Puhe to visit relatives, Zhou Jingrong also saw that person because of her relationship, but he was born a talent, gentle and polite.
Zhou Jingrong was inconvenient to make more comments, so she only said: "Judging from the door, it is a match." ”
Fu Raohua pursed her lips, remembering what she saw that day, Fu Jiao had never seen that son at all, so she slandered people in various ways, was very speechless, and muttered: "Auntie's vision is high." ”
Fu Raohua paused, glanced around, made sure that no one was eavesdropping, approached Zhou Jingrong and whispered: "In fact, in my aunt's mind, the best candidate for a son-in-law is the second cousin. ”
“?!” Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Raohua in surprise.
Fu Raohua was a little embarrassed, pulled the needle and thread, and whispered: "I also once in a while, I overheard my mother chatting with my sister-in-law in the lobby. ”
Zhou Jingrong blinked, and finally found the reason why Fu Jiao had been targeting herself.
At first, she thought that the original owner was not virtuous, and Fu Jiao naturally looked down on her. Later, she thought that Fu Jiao regarded Fu Yunshen as her own son, and found fault with her mother-in-law.
It wasn't until now that she realized that in Fu Jiao's heart, her daughter was going to marry Fu Yunshen, but she appeared halfway through, can people treat her calmly?
and Lin Shutong, who not only cared deeply about Fu Yun, but also asked Zhou Jingrong to take care of him, looking like he treated her as a temporary nanny.
Zhou Jingrong is inexplicably angry, and it is Fu Yunshen again!
Zhuo Qingying, Lin Shutong, Fu Jiao, maybe there will be a woman who will find fault with her for him inexplicably, this man is really a disaster.
However, Zhou Jingrong did not forget the agreement between her and Fu Yunshen about reconciliation.
One day, they will be reconciled, and the position of the second grandmother of the Fu family can still be Lin Shutong's.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jingrong was a little entangled.
Does she want to tell Fu Jiao about her plan to reconcile with Fu Yunshen? It saves her from finding fault for three days and two ends, and disturbs her unpeaceful.
Zhou Jingrong was stunned in a daze, Fu Raohua called her several times before she came back to her senses: "Speaking of which, the second aunt is also looking at others for you, right?" ”
Fu Raohua's face turned red, and she hurriedly denied: "No." ”
Zhou Jingrong couldn't help but tease her: "I heard that it's your cousin Yue, your purse is embroidered for him, right?" ”
Fu Raohua couldn't hide it, so she didn't hide it, and only said softly: "It's not settled yet, so this purse can't be sent yet." ”
Zhou Jingrong had long seen that Wu Mingyue and Fu Raohua were interested in having concubines, although she would also jokingly say that "cousins and cousins are born a couple", but she, a person who has received modern higher education, still feels unspeakable about this kind of consanguineous marriage.
At dinner time, Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen sat opposite each other at the same table.
The kitchen made fried buns, which is also one of Zhou Jingrong's favorite foods. But she was distracted at this time, poking the buns on the plate with chopsticks, and didn't take a bite for a long time.
Fu Yunshen saw that she had lost her appetite, and his eyes showed worry: "Why don't you eat, is it uncomfortable?" ”
Zhou Jingrong shook his head, reluctantly ate a bun, but he didn't know the taste, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you know about someone proposing to Cousin Tong?" ”
"Yes!" Fu Yun was very happy, he saw that Zhou Jingrong was interested, and said to her carefully: "Zhao Xuan and I are classmates, and we are also the cousins of the Cheng family's girl, you have also met before." I once mentioned to him that there was a cousin in the family who was still waiting to be written, and he was quite in line with his temperament. On the night of the begging festival, he saw Tong Niang and was very fond of her, so he came to ask for a kiss. ”
Zhou Jingrong was surprised: "It turns out that you still pulled this red line from it!" ”
Fu Yunshen was slightly proud: "Yes, Brother Zhao has both literature and thought, and his conduct is noble, and he is a good match with Tong Niang." ”
Zhou Jingrong was a little speechless for a while: "However, my aunt is not optimistic about this family business." ”
Thinking of Fu Jiao's arrogant and difficult temperament, Fu Yunshen also felt a headache: "Grandmother still needs to make the decision in this matter." ”
Zhou Jingrong said slowly: "But if Cousin Tong doesn't want to, what if there is something else in his heart?" ”
Something else? Fu Yun was stunned, obviously he hadn't thought of this possibility.
He felt that Lin Shutong was not out of the door, and he rarely had the opportunity to see a foreign man, so what could he belong to.
Zhou Jingrong saw that he was not enlightened, and continued to ask tentatively: "What if Cousin Tong is interested in a married man?" ”
Fu Yunshen's face was solemn, and he said categorically without thinking about it: "Although my Fu family is not a big family, it also has its own style and bones, and the daughter of the Fu family has no reason to be a concubine." ”
Zhou Jingrong continued: "If you don't be a concubine, maybe people will get along." ”
Fu Yunshen was silent for an instant, because the word Heli touched the switch hidden in his heart.
When he mentioned Heli, he thought of the cruel words he had said to Zhou Jingrong before, and he wanted to apologize and keep him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Although this is not an imminent matter, it is also a thorn in the middle of two people, and if it cannot be pulled out, some things will never be solved.
But Fu Yunshen's silence is another interpretation in Zhou Jingrong's opinion.
Although Zhou Jingrong hated Fu Yunshen very much before, he also remembered the matter of harmony and separation, and never thought too much about the relationship between the two people.
But after all, they have been together for so long, and they have faced a lot of ups and downs together, so they will always have feelings, not to mention that she even kissed someone.
Zhou Jingrong's mood was very complicated, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, Fu Yunshen's silence made her heart even more blocked, and even she didn't notice that the tone of her voice was sour: "Cousin Tong is beautiful and kind, you must not live up to it." ”
"You're right." Fu Yunshen suddenly agreed.
“!” She just talked, and he really dared to respond!
Zhou Jingrong was annoyed for a while, and his subordinates poked the bun to pieces.
Fu Yunshen didn't notice her movements, and said to himself: "Marriage is a major event, although it is the words of the parents' order matchmaker, but in the end, the life is lived by two people, and they still need to be in love." I should introduce them to each other so that I can make sure that they can get along with each other and become husband and wife. ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Jingrong is still sulking here, why did Fu Yunshen suddenly jump to the step of arranging a blind date? It embarrassed her!
Fu Yunshen decided to arrange a blind date for Lin Shutong and Zhao Xuan, and he was satisfied, and his attention returned to the dinner table, only to see that Zhou Jingrong still hadn't eaten anything.
He thought that she liked sweet and sour, and that she must dip her pasta in vinegar, so he picked up the vinegar bottle and shook it in front of her eyes, and asked, "Do you want to add more vinegar?" ”
Vinegar? Zhou Jingrong felt that the sourness that had just gushed out in her heart had made her lose her teeth, and she didn't seem to need vinegar anymore.
