After Guo Chuan was stunned for a short time, he subconsciously straightened his waist, a little nervous: "It is rumored that Rong Shizi treats people warmly, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, can Guo have the honor to invite Rong Shizi to a meal?"

Although I don't know why Rong Zhao is enthusiastic, maybe it's just polite. But Guo Chuan still had the cheekiness to seize the opportunity, wanting to have a meal with Rong Shizi, who he had always admired, and talk about his business experience.

Rong Zhao said: "Brother Guo is a guest, when I invite you, I wonder if Brother Guo is free now?"

Guo Chuan subconsciously said: "If you are free, you are naturally free!"

Others: Although "......" has always been very good, it is really rare to be so hospitable.

Everyone was looking at Guo Chuan, as if they wanted to see what was special about him, so that Rong Zhao, who was "busy with business", could take the time to invite him to dinner.

Isn't it the Guo family in Jiangnan?

Could it be that Rong Shizi cares about the three princes very much?

Pei Chengjue and Pei Guanshan looked at them very strangely, inexplicably a little sour. Rong Zhao didn't even invite them to dinner......

Pei Chengjue raised his eyebrows: "Rong Shizi, why don't you invite us?" Pei Guanshan was even more unceremonious, and glanced at Guo Chuan, "What's so special about him?"

Rong Zhao was helpless: "After all, Brother Guo came all the way from Jiangnan, I am very curious about Jiangnan, just talk to Brother Guo, Brother Chengjue Brother Guan Shan, don't ridicule."

Pei Chengjue snorted invisibly, he lowered his head and approached Rong Zhao: "Okay, I won't tease you, but you have to promise me that the next dress will be given to me."

After a pause, he added: "Just look at my status in Brother Rong's heart."

The sound was small, only enough for Rong Zhao to hear.

Pei Chengjue is just a little sour.

was secretly competing with Pei Guanshan, wanting to be the one with the best relationship with Rong Zhao. Now that a random person comes out, Rong Zhao is so polite to him, and the Zhang brothers often follow Rong Zhao....

Pei Chengjue really wanted to see his status in Rong Zhao's heart.

Rong Zhao:

Hearing this, she looked helpless, tilted her head, and lowered her voice: "Brother Chengjue is naturally very important in Rong Zhao's heart, don't worry, the clothes designed for you are almost ready."

Pei Chengjue's eyes lit up obviously, and his peach blossom eyes instantly became smiling.

He straightened up, glanced at the others, and said to Rong Zhao again: "Then Brother Rong is busy, I'll leave first, waiting for your news." The last four words seem to lighten the tone.

As soon as Pei Chengjue left, Rong Zhao didn't have time to take Guo Chuan away, Pei Guanshan's arm was on her shoulder, and his face was expressionless: "What did you say to Pei Chengjue?"

Yung Zhao: "...... Didn't say anything. Pei Guanshan sneered, staring at Rong Zhao expressionlessly, and began to release cold air around him.

Rong Zhao blinked: "It's really nothing, it's just that Brother Chengjue wants clothes, so I promised to make them for him as soon as possible, and I agreed, so he was in a good mood." "

Pei Guanshan understood Pei Chengjue and sneered again: "I'm afraid it's for you to give him the next dress, right?" He looked at Rong Zhao's eyes at this time—like she had betrayed him.

Rong Zhao: "My next piece of clothing is for Brother Guan Shan, I have already made half of it, and I will be able to wear it on Brother Guan Shan soon." Pei Guanshan was stunned when he heard this, and was stunned in place.

After a while, he suddenly let go of his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, he coughed to suppress the arc, and his voice was low: "Got it, I thought you were coaxed by Pei Chengjue's hypocritical guy."

After speaking, he raised his feet directly, turned around and left, his steps were extremely eager, a little bit of a desert and fled. At this moment, Pei Guanshan and Pei Chengjue both had the same thought, which led to a very good mood - compared to Pei Guanshan (Pei Chengjue) that guy, sure enough, Ah Zhao is still better with me! Both of them left, and Rong Zhao let out a sigh of relief.

She knew that these two people had always liked to fight and compete for high and low, but she didn't expect to even fight over who got the clothes first.... Fortunately, as a master of Duanshui, Rong Zhao made the clothes for the two of them together.

Give it to them together when the time comes.

Finally coping, Rong Zhao turned to look at Guo Chuan and smiled: "Brother Guo, please." Guo Chuan was stunned, and then followed in a panic.

- Rong Shizi is so enthusiastic about him!

Guo Chuan had always wanted to see Rong Zhao before, and later mentioned it when he went to meet the third prince, but Pei Yu was very busy, and Rong Zhao was also busy, so he never introduced them.

In addition, Guo Chuan didn't have a big deal to find Rong Zhao, he just admired the other party's business ability, so Pei Yu put this matter on hold.

Recently, Guo Chuan read the newspaper in the capital, and saw that Rong Zhao set off a wave of waves in the capital in just a few days, and it was really difficult to suppress his admiration and appreciation.

Today was supposed to be watching the excitement, but suddenly saw Rong Zhao, he didn't control it, so he stepped forward to say hello.

He also thought that Rong Zhao was just perfunctory to him at most.... But I didn't expect to be so enthusiastic!

r />

Rong Zhao's smile remained unchanged: "The silk produced by the world's first silk merchant must be extraordinary."

She didn't refuse, but pulled into the relationship between the two.

Guo Chuan relaxed a little, and the apprehension on his face gradually disappeared, "We have won awards and awards, our Guo family has made so many good silks and stained many rare colors, but I never thought that the clothes could be dyed from light to dark colors......"

"Gradient." Rong Zhao smiled, "Brother Guo, don't be modest, the color I let people dye is a novelty, just looking at the cloth and materials, it is really not as good as the Guo family in Jiangnan."

That's really not modesty.

Although the Dayan Dynasty did not correspond to a certain dynasty in Rong Zhao's memory, the development of silk was as smooth as history, and the clothes made by the ancients were beyond imagination.

When Guo Chuan heard this, he became more and more modest: "Rong Shizi is too modest, my Guo family has been in the silk business for generations, and finally made a little famous, or Rong Shizi is powerful, sure enough, what Rong Shizi does is not ordinary!"

"Brother Guo is the ...... who is really humble"

The two politely arrived at Deshunxuan, Guo Chuan is a businessman, he is easy to get close to, very easy to talk, Rong Zhao always has a way to make people relax their vigilance against themselves, and chat happily, the more they talk, the more excited they become.

When you arrive at Deshun Xuan, you can eat and drink at the same time, and the atmosphere will be even better.

Guo Chuan toasted Rong Zhao: "Rong Shizi, come on, come on, have a drink, I have to salute your whimsy, do you know how shocked by Fu Luxuan last time I came to the capital to send tribute?"

Rong Zhao smiled and drank with him.

Guo Chuan's face flushed, and he became more and more excited: "I already felt that Rong Shizi was very powerful last time, and then I heard about Tuan Tuan and the newspaper I witnessed this time...... Rong Shizi is really far beyond ordinary people, and every business is so shocking and convincing. "This is all sincere, he is now a little fan.

Rong Zhao: "Brother Guo took over the silk business at a young age, and he has done very well over the years, which is admirable."

Guo Chuan shook his head: "How can there be, it's still not as good as the son of the world, the son of the world is the clouds in the sky, and I am just mud on the ground." The two drank several more glasses.

Rong Zhao suddenly said, "Brother Guo, how long are you going to stay in the capital this time?"

Guo Chuan: "I have no regrets when I see Rong Shizi, I should return to Jiangnan after a few days, and Rong Shizi will definitely open Fuluzhuang, Fuluxuan, Tuan Tuan and the newspaper to Jiangnan earlier."

Leaving these fancy things in the capital, Guo Chuan was reluctant to do so.

r/> Rongzhao smiled again: "Brother Guo, if it's nothing serious, if you don't stay in the capital for some more time, I'm going to do a new business in the near future, do you want to stay and take a look?"

Guo Chuan's eyes widened, and his heart moved.

New business? Counting all the businesses of Rong Zhao for most of the past six months, it is really amazing.

He's not curious?

Very curious, of course!

So, Guo Chuan did not hesitate: "Then of course I want to stay and witness the emergence of Rong Shizi's new business."

He was still curious, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of business is it?"

Rong Zhao blinked his eyes and smiled slightly: "Keep it secret for the time being, Brother Guo will know soon, Brother Guo remembers coming to me often recently, and I will take Brother Guo to appreciate the customs of the capital."

Doesn't Guo Chuan know the customs of the capital? Naturally not, this is just an excuse for Guo Chuan to follow her at any time in the future.

Guo Chuan is not repulsive at all. He was very curious about Rong Zhao's business methods, and in this case, it would definitely be a great thing to stay in the capital and follow Rong Zhao.

Therefore, Guo Chuan didn't want to pretend to be pretending to excuse himself, so he responded directly, with a face full of joy.

Rong Zhao enthusiastically: "Come on, keep drinking."

If Zhang San was here, he would definitely feel that Rong Zhao was smiling - very ill-intentioned.

At the same time, the Royal Palace.

The palace banquet has begun, this is a family banquet to welcome King Jin, it is not very grand, everyone is dressed casually, but the atmosphere at the banquet is very tense.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Pei Huaibei is the king who has crossed the three imperial uncles, which naturally attracts people's attention.

The three princes are not good people, and tonight's "welcome banquet" is definitely going to give King Jin a dismount, and above the banquet, the dark tide is surging.

They dressed up to travel, especially the fifth prince Pei Qin, that outfit took away all the attention in an instant, and the waves under their feet when they walked, making it difficult for people not to pay attention.

On the other hand, King Jin is dressed very low-key, wearing a black power suit, quiet and silent.

But it is also difficult to ignore, he has a handsome face, a long body like jade, a pair of eyes that are a little sharp, but very atmospheric, sitting there with his own majesty.

Someone from afar saw it and exclaimed in a low voice: "First Prince!"

- At that moment, many old ministers seemed to see the first prince.

r />

The prince wanted to give King Jin a horse, but during this banquet, Emperor Yongming seemed to see Pei Huai's sadness and left early.

The three princes were surrounded by a lot of people, completely snubbing Pei Huaibei on the seat, and sometimes saying a word to King Jin, it was also a-for-tat.

Pei Huaibei's expression was always calm, he responded as usual, he responded lightly when he was targeted, so that the other party couldn't speak and couldn't find a mistake, and he sat quietly when he was left out, his demeanor was arrogant, very calm, and he didn't panic at all.

Someone whispered: "It's really like ...... with the first prince," and the three princes sank slightly.

Pei Qin was surrounded by many people because of a piece of clothing, and he paid attention to Pei Huaibei with a little indifference, but when someone asked, "This dress is the one that Rong Shizi made for His Royal Highness?"

Nowadays, there are officials in the capital who do not read the newspaper, and they will naturally know about it when they read the newspaper.

When Pei Qin heard this, he immediately retracted his gaze, and a true and bright smile appeared on his face: "Indeed, today I went to the Anqing Palace, and Ah Zhao personally handed it over to me."

Azhao.

A very affectionate title.

Someone couldn't help but sigh: "It's all on the Anqing Palace

Who did Yunrongfang's second dress for, but I didn't expect it to be worn on the Fifth Highness, it is indeed very good-looking, no wonder it is sought after.

Throwing fruit and flowers, you probably don't know how lively the streets are! How did you not know? I see it.

"I don't care about clothes, I value Rong Shizi's attitude more, he seems to be closer to His Royal Highness?"

Pei Huaibei originally sat there with an indifferent and calm expression, and when he heard someone talking like this, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes.

Pei Qin's voice was overflowing with a smile: "Yes, my relationship with Ah Zhao is good."

Everyone thought it was a little strange. Why is the attitude of these five highnesses a little too affectionate?

Pei Huaibei knew that Pei Qin already knew Rong Zhao's identity, and his attitude now was a little out of shape.

He slowly stood up with a wine glass, and the moment he stood up, all the discussions about clothes and the relationship between the five princes and Rong Zhao stopped.

Everyone paid attention to King Jin's every move.

Pei Huaibei raised his wine glass and smiled lightly, his smile was faint, and his voice was kind: "Everyone, Huaibei has been living in Taibei Temple all these years, and he can't get through the general affairs every day, and he is really worried about being admitted to the palace by the emperor's grandfather, and he is afraid that he will live up to the emperor's care.

"Three glasses of wine are saluted first, the first cup is to the emperor's grandmother and the imperial concubines, who have failed to fulfill their filial piety for 18 years, and hope that the elders will forgive.

The second cup is dedicated to the three imperial uncles, with sorrow for the young, if there is a mistake, the imperial uncles can be taught.

The third cup of salute to all of you, although I am guarding my father in Taibei Temple, I also know that now the wild goose is peaceful in the world, and the monarchs and ministers are united, and I respect you with compassion.

Three glasses of wine, with a sincere and sincere attitude to break the situation.

In front of the queen and concubines, he is a junior who needs to be filial for a generation. In front of the three princes, he is a junior who can be taught. In front of the ministers, he was a royal child who respected them.

A young man who has been chanting scriptures for 18 years and guarding his father's tablet is young, but he drank three glasses of wine very simply, he seems to be a little unaccustomed to drinking, and frowns slightly when he swallows.

But when he put down the cup, he smiled slowly, calmly and calmly.

Zhang Cheng gasped immediately.

- At that moment, he really felt that he had seen the first prince!

It is really difficult for people to be disgusted with such a king.

A simple three glasses of wine to break the situation.

That's not just a simple wine.

Early the next morning, a lot of gossip spread in the capital.

This day is not the time to send newspapers, but it does not prevent many people from spreading the news, after all, last night was the day when the king returned to the palace.

Yesterday's banquet was really lively.

"The clothes of the five princes are beautiful, and it is said that they attract frequent attention at palace banquets." "Alas, that Yunrong Fang is really good, we don't know if we have a chance to wear it."

"Don't think about it, it's Rong Shizi's private embroidery workshop, I want to see the next son wear it on the street now, I don't know if the next one will look good.

Last night, it was said that King Jin was troubled, but it was skillfully resolved. "Hasn't King Jin been eating fasting and reciting Buddha? And the means?"

It is said that the king is not very good at words, but he is very polite and benevolent, and at the end of the banquet last night, he was praised by many ministers.

It is said that the king and the former prince are like!

"I see."

After the people cared, they paid attention to Yunrongfang again.

And the big family is more concerned about King Jin, they are all watching what King Jin will do after the banquet, but they didn't expect that this day will be early in the morning, everyone

Received a message –

King Jin took a carriage out of the city and went to the Taibei Temple to offer incense.

Many were silent at the time.

Is it really a Buddha-like grandson?

Originally, it was ominous, and the names were all unpleasant "Huai Bei", and he was full of Buddha spirit, is this a lack of ambition? Or is it to let the three princes let their guard down?

Suddenly, countless speculations were born.

Midday.

Rong Zhao was going to take Guo Chuan to Fuluzhuang for dinner.

Of course, it is not to participate in other people's banquets, but to eat in the backyard of Fuluzhuang, Fuluzhuang will not lack food when holding a banquet, but Fuluxuan is fully booked, except for the fourth floor, other floors are also crowded, but not as good as Fuluzhuang backyard.

Before he went out, Zhang San pestered up, "What are you doing? You invited him to dinner yesterday, and you invited him to dinner today, why don't you invite me?" Rong Zhao was speechless: "Didn't I invite you?"

Zhang Changyan pouted: "What did you invite me? No, you've got to take me with you. He jumped into the carriage with a straight hand.

Guo Chuan was embarrassed and didn't dare to refuse.

Rong Zhao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he had no choice but to take Zhang San with him.

Since letting Zhang Changzhi invest, Zhang San has pestered her, asking her to invite her to dinner every time she appears, as if he wants to hand over all his eating problems to Rong Zhao to solve.

Rong Zhao refused seven or eight times out of ten, but he was entangled tightly, and seeing that he was really poor, he always had to agree two or three times.

The carriage clicked to Fuluzhuang, and Rong Zhao warmly received Guo Chuan. Guo Chuan is also very enthusiastic.

The two of them were very polite while eating and drinking, and they ate casually, only Zhang San was beside him and immersed himself in hard work, concentrating on cooking.

Rong Zhao said with a smile: I saw the silk that Brother Guo sent to the house yesterday, it is really beautiful, I will let the embroidery lady in the house design it and make it the best looking clothes.

Guo Chuan's eyes lit up: "I am also very much looking forward to the embroidery girl in the prince's mansion, which will definitely be amazing."

He seemed to think of something, and asked: The prince will reward the skilled embroiderer in the newspaper tomorrow?

Rong Zhao smiled and nodded.

Guo Chuan sighed: "I really want to know what the prince is going to do, every time he makes such a big move, and then surprises people, which is amazing.

Rong Zhao: "Then Brother Guo will take a good look at it this time." She poured wine for Guo Chuan, and Brother Guo ate and drank at the same time, coming and going.

The prince also eats.

The two continued to talk hotly, Rong Zhao talked about his own affairs, Guo Chuan would also talk about Jiangnan, their Guo family's industry, their silk and various cloths, and their family's mulberry fields and so on.

Rong Zhao listened very seriously, praising while pouring him wine, Guo Chuan saw his confidant and almost sold his family money clean.

Next to him, Zhang Changyan rolled his eyes at Guo Chuan, very speechless.

- This Rong Zhao must be a bad stomach again. - As long as Rong Shizi is enthusiastic, he will definitely pit you!

Guo Chuan happened to notice and wondered: "Zhang Sangongzi, you are ......"

Zhang San's face was expressionless: "My eyes are twitching."

He rubbed his well-fed stomach and asked Guo Chuan: When will you go back to Jiangnan?

Guo Chuan said with a smile: "Rong Shizi and I hit it off at first sight, and when Rong Shizi's new business is made, I will leave not too late, and I will not be in a hurry." He shook his head, very calmly.

Zhang Changyan: ...... Silly short.

Rong Zhao looked at him and smiled slightly: "Third son, isn't today's food appetizing?" Her expression was gentle, and her eyes were gentle.

Zhang Changyan: ...... ...

He hurriedly waved his hand and stood up: No, it's good, I hope I can eat it tomorrow, you talk, I'll go out for a walk.

Forget it, he coaxed him, and he didn't dare to do good things.

Zhang Sanyan walked, Rong Zhao looked at Guo Chuan: "Don't care, Zhang Sangongzi has always been like this."

Guo Chuan sighed: "I know that these powerful sons and daughters in the capital are not easy people to get along with."

Looking at Rong Zhao again, he looked appreciative: Rong Shizi is still benevolent, and it is really rare to have a person as good as Rong Shizi.

Rong Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

After eating, Rong Zhao took Guo Chuan and them into the carriage.

Zhang Santhief leaned over in a hurry: "Do you know? King Jin went out of the city to Taibei Temple today, just returned, I saw their car from a distance outside, and it was quite imposing.

Taibei Temple is more remote than Fuluzhuang, and therefore, when you go to Taibei Temple, you will pass by the road outside Fuluzhuang. Guo Chuan, who is the third prince, frowned slightly, and said: This King Jin is really incomprehensible.

Zhang Changyan: "No, last night my father said that he was a powerful person, and today he went to Taibei Temple to worship, and he doesn't look very powerful."

/> The situation in Beijing is tense, and if Pei Huaibei is smart, he should know to be careful at all times. He is still running out to worship the first prince, does this want to show benevolence and filial piety, or does he really have no fighting spirit?

Rong Zhao fell into thought and did not speak.

The carriage clattered along.

Probably because of the wine, Guo Chuan was a little out of shape and sighed: "King Jin's return to Beijing at this time has really made the situation in the capital a mess......

Pei Huaibei has such a reputation, and the best time to return to Beijing is after the emperor dies, and the new emperor asks him to come back. Now is the critical period for seizing the heir, but Emperor Yongming asked him to come back, which is really puzzling.

In fact, Guo Chuan was a little disrespectful when he said this, but Zhang San was also bold, and replied directly: "Probably the emperor misses his grandson, after all, the first prince is the emperor's beloved son.

It's normal to be old and want to see your grandson before you die. It's just that the situation is going to be more chaotic.

When the first prince was there, although Pei Qin was born, Emperor Yongming cared about this little son very much, and even the prince was not even as good as the prince for a while. But for the people of the previous dynasty, the three princes are not as good as a first prince!

Like the former crown prince, King Jin is not an insignificant person after all.

Rong Zhao just raised his eyebrows, but still didn't speak. She doesn't participate in the succession, so she never talks about royal affairs outside.

The car went to one place in the midst of a few people's small talk.

Rong Zhao said suddenly: "Stop."

The carriage stopped. Rong Zhao stood up, pushed open the carriage door with his hand, and was obviously about to get out of the carriage, and said softly: You two wait for me for a moment.

Zhang Changyan grabbed her suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Rong Zhao's face was expressionless: "Change clothes."

Zhang Changyan: "......", it's normal.

So, the two waited on the road in the carriage with a group of guards.

Rong Zhao jumped off the carriage and walked towards a forest, behind which there was a lush bamboo forest, and there was a small river next to the bamboo forest.

She's been here before.
