Chapter 29 Rich Young Master
Wei Rong faked his death and disguised himself as the son of a wealthy businessman. He sold his father's accumulated grain and headed south to resell it.
Due to floods in the south, food prices have skyrocketed. It is not easy to arouse suspicion that he is a wealthy businessman reselling food.
There were many businessmen who made money from the national crisis, and Wei Rong was not conspicuous among them.
Since the Prince of Wei in Jing'an City had died of poisoning, Wei Rong wore a human skin mask when meeting strangers.
The mask on Wei Rong completely covered up his striking facial features, leaving him with an ordinary face that would disappear in the blink of an eye if thrown into a crowd.
Perhaps it was because of his natural dignity that even such an ordinary human skin mask was supported by the man.
A pair of dark eyes adds a touch of elegance to the face.
Yun Fu looked at Wei Rong wearing a human skin mask, and felt a strange yet familiar feeling.
Such an exquisite human skin mask aroused Yun Fu's great curiosity, and she kept circling around the man.
I really want to know if such a realistic mask is really made of human skin?
I've only heard of it before, but never seen it with my own eyes.
Wei Rong, who was wearing a human skin mask, saw the little guy circling around him, so he reached out and picked up the little guy.
Yun Fu's eyes were level with Wei Rong's.
Looking at the face in front of him, although the eyes and mouth are Wei Rong's own, the face is too realistic, feels a bit strange, and does not look that good.
This made Yun Fu, who liked to be close to beautiful things, feel a little resistant.
Wei Rong felt sad for a moment when he saw that his own Ah Fu refused to let him hug him after he put on the human skin mask.
Reaching out and pinching its soft cheek, he said, "You heartless little thing, was all the dried fish and goat milk I fed you today in vain?"
When Yun Fu heard this, she felt a little guilty and meowed weakly.
Wei Rong no longer forced it. After spending some time with it, he found that his cat was a bit obsessed with appearance and liked beautiful and shiny things.
When he was poisoned and fled to the dilapidated house, Ah Fu "saved" him probably because of his face.
If Yun Fu knew what Wei Rong was thinking at this moment, she would definitely deny it loudly and guiltily. Is she that kind of person?
Well, she is that kind of person.
After putting on the mask, Wei Rong also changed his clothes. As the son of a wealthy businessman, he couldn't dress too plainly.
The bright purple straight-breasted coat has cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs. There is a white jade and red belt around the waist, with an exquisite white jade waist pendant hanging on it. The purple gold gilt crown on the head is fixed with a purple jade hairpin.
This outfit is very noble and dazzling, but the face is too ordinary, so the clothes are a bit of a waste.
Yun Fu thought that if Wei Rong wore this outfit, people would definitely be unable to take their eyes off it, what a pity.
Wei Rong changed his clothes, skillfully picked up the little guy who was looking at him with his head tilted back, and prepared to get off the car.
The carriage stopped at an inn, and when Wei Rong got off the carriage he immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.
There were many wealthy businessmen who stopped on this road, but not many of them were dressed so elegantly, or even had so many cargoes following their carriages.
The rich young man, dressed in rich clothes, was holding a yellow cat in his arms. The cat looked very smart and cute, round and fluffy. It was obvious that it was a pet that only rich young men would keep.
Wei Rong carried the cat into the shabby tavern next to the post station, followed closely by many thugs.
With such a scene, the originally noisy environment immediately became quiet as soon as you entered the teahouse.
Wei Rong, dressed as a rich kid, looked at the mixed crowd of people in the teahouse and frowned, "What kind of shabby place is this? There's not even a restaurant."
Shen Shi, who was dressed as a butler, hurriedly and carefully comforted him, "Master, please bear with it for now. After passing one more post station, we will reach Yunshui County."
The other attendants had already found a seat by the window and were carefully wiping the tables and chairs with handkerchiefs.
This scene, coupled with that ordinary face, made the people drinking tea and eating in the teahouse immediately know that this man was a young man from a wealthy family.
This is to experience life.
Yun Fu looked at Wei Rong's smooth performance and wanted to raise her paws to applaud.
The affectation of the rich kid was played so well!
As a cat from a wealthy family, Yunfu was not willing to lag behind.
In Wei Rong's arms, she kept nodding her head against his chest, looking like she really didn't like this place.
It's obvious at first glance that this is an overly pampered pet.
Wei Rong looked at the kitten, whose acting skills were equally impressive, and a hint of smile flashed across his eyes. He responded to the kitten, "Jin Bao, be good! When we get to Yunshui County, we'll let you stay at the best inn."
The interaction between the man and the cat made the man at the next table couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Where did you come from, Mr. Jiaojiao? Yunshui County is suffering from floods right now, and nothing is left. You're still staying in the best inn. You're lucky to even have a place to sleep!"
When Wei Rong heard this, especially the insult to the spoiled young master, his face immediately turned red with anger, and he slammed his hand on the table, "How dare you! Where did this troublemaker come from, Steward Xu..."
At noon, the flattering butler Xu immediately responded, "My young master, have you forgotten the master's instructions? Let us..."
The butler whispered the following words into the ear of the rich young master, and the furious young man finally calmed down angrily.
Then, Butler Xu took out two pieces of silver and handed them to the bearded man, saying with a careful smile, "Please forgive me, sir. This is my young master's first time traveling far away, so he's bound to be a little uncomfortable. Please bear with me."
The man looked at the two taels of silver in his hand, and his anger instantly subsided. This kind of person is really good at dealing with things. What he said just now was just a kind reminder. He didn't expect that this young man would pay attention to such a novel point. It was obvious that he had never suffered hardship at home.
Weighing the silver in his hand, the bearded man, ready to fight to the end, asked, "Are you going to Yunshui County?"
Shen Shi smiled and nodded.
"Then I advise you not to be so ostentatious. The official road from here to Yunshui County has been occupied by bandits. You will definitely be robbed if you dress like this."
After the man finished speaking, he looked at the luxurious carriages and freight wagons parked outside, frowned, and looked at the housekeeper who was smiling apologetically before him. He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you also going to Yunshui County to sell grain?"
Hearing this, Shen Shi quickly looked around and then lowered his voice, "How did you know that, warrior?"
The man scoffed, wondering how this group of people could have come here with such fanfare without suffering any harm. "The south is devastated by floods. In severely affected areas, people's food and homes have been completely destroyed. Yunshui County is close to the upper reaches of the river, so the terrain isn't as low, and the damage hasn't been as severe as in the counties downstream. But the food has long been gone, and the imperial government hasn't opened its warehouses for disaster relief grain. Wealthy merchants from other places have rushed to the disaster-stricken areas with their stored grain, reselling it for exorbitant prices. It's nothing new. Judging from your actions, I can tell you're going there to resell it, too."
Hearing this, Shen Shi remained calm, but his face was full of tension, "The warrior has a unique vision."
The man took a sip of the Shaodaozi on the table and said with a smile, "You're lucky to have met me. I know a small path that can bypass the official road. Otherwise, the bandits would have eaten you to pieces before you even reached Yunshui County."
Wei Rong heard everything that Shen Shi said in a low voice to the man. He had some thoughts in his mind, but his face showed impatience.
"Butler Xu, you've been talking to him for so long, why don't you just get the food served?"
The arrogant rich young man shouted impatiently, which made the bearded man look at him with contempt.
