Somewhere in a remote house in the capital.

A young woman in her twenties was mending her clothes, and two small children were crawling around on the bed, and the woman glanced at her from time to time, her eyes worried

Her husband's surname is Gu, and he is a shopkeeper, and today he went to the famous Fu Lu Xuan before it opened to find a job. The woman was very worried when she stayed at home.

At this time, a young man in his twenties walked in.

Although the man looks ordinary, he is quite imposing, dressed simply but neatly and neatly, but at this time his expression is a little trance, as if faintly annoyed.

The woman hurriedly greeted her: "How?" The man's eyes were guilty: "I'm afraid ......it won't work," he briefly explained the course of the day, including the two questions he answered.

The woman's face changed, and her eyes were shocked: "Husband, how can you answer like this? is so ruthless, then Rong Shizi is afraid that he will not recruit you!"

The ancient shopkeeper became more and more desperate.

He sat on the bed dejectedly, his eyes were empty: "Although Fu Luxuan has not opened, it is powerful and powerful, and the momentum is huge, and the moon silver is extremely high, and there are dozens of them today, all of whom are excellent shopkeepers...... I thought that if I had answered properly, I would probably not be able to compare to them......"

He let out a long sigh, his face full of annoyance: "Besides, you also know that I am such a character, otherwise I would not offend the nobles, and a good restaurant will not be opened, which will cause Su Niang and the two children to suffer with me."

Fu Lu Xuan was his last chance.

The ancient shopkeeper used to open a restaurant, but his restaurant is very small, and the location is only in a relatively remote place in the capital.

But in the first half of the year, a nobleman came to his small restaurant, and the nobleman had a conflict with another diner, and he wanted to beat the diner out on the spot.

The ancient shopkeeper had a straight temper, stood up to speak for the diners, offended the nobles, the restaurant couldn't be opened, and he owed a lot of money.

In the end, I had no choice but to sell the restaurant and the house to pay off the debt, and moved to the current place with my wife and children.

He wanted to find a job to survive, but he didn't expect that the noble man was very careful and did not allow him to find a job in the capital. knew that he had offended the nobles, and no one dared to recruit him.

Although the rent here is not high, the house is small and dilapidated, and the daily living cost of living in Beijing is a lot of money, and the family is already stretched thin and ready to move back to their hometown.

The ancient shopkeeper is unwilling! But there is no way, this world is like this, offending the noble is equivalent to a catastrophe

Complex.

When they were about to leave, the news of Fu Lu Xuan's beckoning shopkeeper was released, and Su Niang immediately encouraged him to recommend himself. Fu Luxuan is backed by the prince of Anqing and the four princes, and it is the nobles he offends who can't beat him, if he can be left by Fu Luxuan, he will never be again

Don't be afraid.

For this reason, they stayed in Beijing for a little more time, and Su Niang did some handiwork with people every day in exchange for silver taels.

It's a pity that such an opportunity..

He didn't even catch it!

The ancient shopkeeper was very annoyed, and he looked at his wife and children with extreme guilt.

Su Niang picked up the purse and embroidered it, and sighed: "Don't blame yourself, husband, you have the ability to do it, as long as you leave the capital, you can find a restaurant to be the shopkeeper, and he may not be able to make a comeback in the future."

"Su Niang......" The ancient shopkeeper had red eyes.

Su Niang smiled softly at him, only with sorrow in the depths of her eyes.

The husband and wife are still young, and it is okay to endure some hardships, but the children are too young, and they have to follow them around, which is really their failure to be parents.

The ancient shopkeeper stood up: "Then I'll go pack up my things, and I'll leave the capital tomorrow, and when I get to Linfu, I'll just move goods for people, and I won't let Su Niang and the children go hungry!"

After he finished speaking, he strode out. The voice is tough and powerful, but the moment I step out of the door, my steps stagger, and my eyes are a little trance-like.

At this time—

"Is the ancient shopkeeper there?" Someone shouted at the door.

The ancient shopkeeper was stunned. Isn't that noble man still going to chase after them and embarrass them?!

He closed the door of the room with his backhand, gritted his teeth, walked to the door angrily, opened the tattered door, and said angrily: "What the hell do you want—"

The sound stopped abruptly. At the door was a familiar steward, and his previous answer was handed to this man.

The ancient shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Isn't it that you will be notified if you lose the election?"

The man smiled: "What's the loss? The ancient shopkeeper, the villain came to pass on the words of the son, from today on, you are the shopkeeper of Fu Lu Xuan, and there are four stewards under him, the son of the world asked the ancient shopkeeper to go to Fu Lu Xuan for training tomorrow, and the moon silver will also be counted from tomorrow. "

The ancient shopkeeper was stunned.

Behind her back, the stick fell to the ground, and Su Niang's voice trembled: "Selected? My husband was elected as the treasurer of Fu Lu Xuan?"

The person who came saluted very politely, and then said softly: "This lady, yes, this time the prince chose two people, the shopkeeper Xu is the shopkeeper of Linfu Fuluxuan, and the ancient shopkeeper stays in Beijing and is the shopkeeper of the main store of Fuluxuan in the capital!

4;

Both of them froze in place, no one spoke. The person who came smiled and said, "Isn't the ancient shopkeeper unwilling?"

"Yes, yes!" Su Niang hurriedly responded, stepped forward a few steps, and pushed the ancient shopkeeper with red eyes.

Only then did the ancient shopkeeper come back to his senses, his face suddenly swollen red, and his voice choked: "The villain thanked Rong Shizi, the grace of regeneration, and his life in this life

report, set ...... Always loyal to the Son!"

This is the true grace of recreation, and it is the hope of their family. Meanwhile.

Zhang Changyan chased after Rong Zhao with a shocked expression: "I don't understand why you chose him? He's the worst of all the answers, so why did you pick him?"

No matter how he thinks of that person, he is the one who performs the worst, not to mention the shopkeeper Xu, even any other shopkeeper, who answered better than him. Yung Zhao: "He speaks nicely."

Zhang Changyan: "???" I suspect you're teasing me, and I have proof.

Rong Zhao smiled but did not speak. - No one sings white face, how can she sing red face?

This restaurant in the capital needs people like the ancient shopkeeper even more.

Zhang Changyan wanted to continue to ask, but Rong Zhao ignored him and turned to look at the stone: "Remember to tell the shopkeeper Xu that the treatment in Linfu is the same as that in Beijing, the monthly silver is the same, and the bonus at the end of the year depends on the profit of Fuluxuan."

After a pause, she added: "If Shopkeeper Xu agrees, Fu Luxuan's residence in Linfu will be arranged."

Rong Zhao didn't think he would disagree.

If you don't agree, then add money. There's nothing money can't solve, and if there is, it's not enough.

Rong Zhao got rid of Zhang San and got into the carriage and returned to the Anqing Palace.

Rong Ping doesn't like the nameless driver, but Rong Zhao is quite satisfied, she has to go in and out every day, and this nameless has become Rong Zhao's special driver.

He never said much, almost had no sense of existence, drove very steadily, and was a very suitable "driver". The carriage faded away.

Zhang Changyan fell behind and pouted: "This Rong Zhaomo doesn't have a problem with his brain, he chooses such a person to be the shopkeeper, and he is not afraid of offending the emperor's relatives and relatives, I will see how you will end up then!"

Yuzhu: "......"

Zhang Changyan: "Why don't you speak? Am I not right?"

Yuzhu: "Third Prince, you said before how Fuluzhuang ended, and you said how it ended when the March period arrived......" But in fact, Rong Shi

All of the sub's arrangements ended smoothly and unexpectedly.

Zhang Changyan: "?"

His eyes widened: "Are you saying that Rong Zhao is a good candidate?"

Yuzhu replied slowly: "I think that with Rong Shizi's style of acting, there must be his own considerations for choosing this person."

Zhang Changyan snorted: "Who are you?" Why do you appreciate Rong Zhao so much now? How about I give you to Rong Zhao?"

Yuzhu's eyes lit up.

&nbs

p; With the third son, he was almost unable to eat, and although Rong Shizi was a little in debt, he was really living a good life......

Zhang Changyan was incredulous, he kicked Yuzhu hard and scolded: "You are dreaming! My son is now thrifty, you have to follow me to cut down on food and clothing, if you want to eat something good, you still look forward to the dividends as soon as possible!

He left with Yuzhu, scolding along the way.

- It is clear that he is the creditor, and this disloyal little guy would rather follow Rong Zhao, a debtor, which is too much. - Look, Rong Zhao made such a big move, and chose such a shopkeeper, he must suffer a little.

When Rong Zhao returned home, it was dinner time in Anqing Palace.

As soon as she returned home, Lin asked her subordinates to serve the food.

There are few people in Qingwangfu, and there is nothing to pay attention to, and the family eats at the same table, but it is full of calculations, and the people who can eat together in Anqing Wangfu are the old princess, Rong Ping, princess, side concubine, and Rong Zhao.

The old princess Zhao was not there, probably because of the bowl of poison, she had been avoiding Rong Zhao and not letting Rong Zhao go to ask for peace. Of course, Rong Zhao is very satisfied with this situation and saves trouble.

The Bai family is still grounded, and there are only three people who can eat together.

After Rong Zhao finished eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth and asked, "Is Concubine Bai still grounded?" Lin nodded: "It's still time."

Rong Zhao smiled and said suddenly: "Then release the side concubine in advance, Fuluxuan is about to open, and the leaflets will be distributed in a few days."

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and ordered: "Let the side concubine come out." Although she doesn't understand, she has always believed in her daughter, and now that her daughter is "capable", she is very willing to listen to her daughter.

After being locked up for nearly a month, the Bai family finally came out, and during this time she was dizzy and dizzy, and every time she copied it, she had to scold Rong Zhao for deliberately tossing her.

At this time, it was released, and Bai lost a lot of weight. She looked at Rong Ping pitifully: "Lord Wang......"

Screen: ......

Ignored her

, they're all a lot older, what's the use of being coquettish? Rong Zhao was looking at the leaflet that the maid had brought over, and she nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the prince didn't care, the Bai clan immediately put away his tears, looked at Rong Zhao, and snorted: "Shizi, you let us copy these, didn't you mean to toss me? I'm a lot older, and I've only copied these for more than 20 days, and I can only copy these.

Her tone was filled with suppressed anger.

In fact, Bai copied some, but there were more than a thousand copies in this hand, most of which were copied by people in the courtyard, and she didn't want to do this, so she was just as angry as she copied a few.

Now she just said: That's all, love or not, and if you force me again, you don't respect the elderly.

Lin's face darkened instantly, and just as he was about to say something, Rong Zhao said with a smile; "Yes, it must be very hard to copy so many in such a short period of time in the side concubine's courtyard, mother, recently added some dishes to the side concubine, just add those famous dishes in Fuluzhuang, okay?

Lin was stunned.

Bai was even more stunned.

She obviously scolded Rong Zhao, but the other party was so gentle to add food to her? Inexplicably, the anger of copying for more than 20 days has dispersed for most of the time, and the Bai family is a little in a trance.

Rong Zhao looked at the top one, it was obviously Bai's handwriting, it was indeed very neat and beautiful, and the scholarly door was really different. She couldn't help nodding: "The word concubine is really good, if such a leaflet is sent out, it will definitely be able to attract business for Fu Luxuan, and Concubine Fang has made a great contribution this time."

"Ah...... OK. Bai opened his mouth, suddenly a little embarrassed.

Rong Zhao: "Don't be modest, Rong Zhao has always spoken straightforwardly, good is good, the side concubine took people to write thousands of leaflets in just over 20 days, it's really hard, mother, exempt the side concubine from grounding in advance, right?"

Lin: "...... Good. "When people are released, they have actually lifted the grounding.

Bai Shi was stunned again, and subconsciously said: Xie Shizi......

Rong Zhao smiled very gently: No thanks, I should thank the side concubine, the four princes invested 160,000 yuan, hundreds of craftsmen worked hard to rebuild, and the side concubine worked hard to copy the leaflet...... It was you who gave Fu Lu Xuan the opportunity to open and become famous.

Bai Shi gasped. Rong Ping and the two were also stunned, and the side concubine copied the leaflet...... There is such a credit, right? Can it be tied with 160,000 taels?

- Or would they both copy it too?

Rong Zhao's eyes became more and more moved: "Fu Lu Xuan is about to open, if it can be a hit, I will definitely remember the great work of the side concubine."

She paused, and then continued: "I thought that Concubine Fang was unwilling to help Rong Zhao copy the leaflet

, I didn't expect the side concubine to be so aware of the righteousness, knowing that this was a life-and-death battle for my Anqing Palace, and she was willing to go all out.

"Look at the words on the leaflet, the pen and ink are smooth, and they have their own style, I am afraid that many people will praise the handwriting on the leaflet of Fu Luxuan."

In the past, I misunderstood the side concubine, although the side concubine is a woman, she has chivalrous courage, talent, courage, and righteousness, Rong Zhao thanked the side concubine here.

Rong Zhao raised his hand slightly, very serious.

Bai's face flushed instantly, and he hurriedly waved his hand: No, no, the prince is polite...... I, I, I just did what I was supposed to do! Rong Zhao was righteous and awe-inspiring: "That is also the side concubine standing up to the sky, copying thousands of copies in more than 20 days, and the side concubine is hard."

Bai has never been praised like this, especially recently she has been scolded, this is the first time someone has praised her like this, her face is crimson, the roots of her ears are red and dripping blood, the whole person is fluttering, as if flying in the sky, but she subconsciously straightens her back, inexplicably proud.

- yes, she's very good.

Bai's voice unconsciously raised and was sonorous: It's just a thousand copies, Shizi, is this leaflet enough?

Rong Zhao's eyes were full of smiles, but the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile: "It's really not enough, there is still half a month before the opening of Fuluxuan, and at least two thousand copies are needed......

She shook her head: I'm afraid no one can do such a difficult thing.

I can! Bai Shi raised his voice and agreed.

She is such a woman who stands up to the sky, understands righteousness, and is capable, but there are only 2,000 copies, what can't be copied?

She raised her chin and let out cruel words: There is still half a moon, not to mention two thousand copies, it is three thousand, and I, Bai Yuehua, can also take someone to copy it! Rong Zhao exclaimed: "That's three thousand copies, side concubine ......"

Rest assured, in fourteen days, I will send 3,000 copies! After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to delay for a second, and returned to the yard with the maid in a hurry, forgetting to even salute.

Behind him, Rong Zhao raised his voice: "It doesn't matter if the side concubine can't finish copying, you are already very powerful." Bai's voice was determined: I will definitely be able to finish copying it! After speaking, the steps were faster, and the person had disappeared from sight.

At the dinner table, only Rong Ping and Lin were left looking at each other, and the two of them were a little puzzled, and they felt that something was wrong... Lin said weakly: "If Zhao'er needs it, my mother will also take someone to help Zhao'er copy some?"

Rong Zhao shook his head calmly: "This work is too hard, I'll go back and find a lighter job for my mother, let my mother."

The pro is happy and intentional

Lin nodded heavily, quite expectantly.

Rong Ping glanced at Rong Zhao deeply, although the princess has always cared about Rong Zhao, but in the past, she would not eat at the same table as now, only looking at Rong Zhao and not looking at him.

Not to mention the side concubine, except for the beginning, he didn't even give him a look later, and he didn't do it...

What did he always think was weird?

Three days later.

Bai Shi was struggling to write, and his blood-red eyes were trying to copy.

At this time, the personal maid came over and said softly: "Concubine Fang, eat something, you haven't been out for three days, and you haven't bothered to eat all day."

Bai didn't raise his head: "Put it next to you first, you can quickly copy it after eating, there are more than 2,000 copies, if you don't work hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to copy it in fourteen days, so how can I afford those compliments?"

The maid can only respond.

Bai continued to copy, copying and copying, and she paused. - I always feel that something is wrong?—— forget it, I don't want to, there are more than 2,000 copies, hurry up and copy it!

The night was already dark, the dogs were asleep, and the side concubine's courtyard was still lit with lights.
