The sun is shining in the morning.

The town of Sanchakou ushered in another good day with clear skies.

Knock knock, rhythmic and brisk tones, through the magic fir wood door panel, into Zhongsun Fangfei's temporary study.

The Duchess, who had been immersed in copywriting all night, suddenly raised her head, and her always smooth and immaculate countenance, in addition to deep exhaustion, there were a few more wrinkles due to unhappiness.

"Didn't you say that! Don't bother me today! ”

With a squeak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Han Rujun, who was smiling, strode in.

"Zhongsun Fangfei, I'll come here, but I made a special trip to deliver something to you, so I won't be thanking you behind closed doors, right?"

"Han Rujun, ...... you" When Zhongsun Fangfei spoke, she was shocked to realize that the sky was already dawning, and she sighed and said, "Let's go to the reception room to talk." ”

"No need, this is for you." Han Rujun, who was full of spring breeze, handed over a document, "This is the military industry transfer letter of our Behemoth Chamber of Commerce, in addition, many lists are about to expire, I just don't know how your materials are prepared?" ”

Zhongsun Fangfei's face sank at that time, but before she could speak, Han Rujun on the opposite side had already laughed: "Be careful to be greedy and chew too much, choke your Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"Han Rujun, Yuegang's material market, are you making trouble again?"

"Zhongsun Fangfei, don't say it so ugly, this is legitimate management, market competition, who let me pay a high price? Who let me have spare money and profits? Haha, you just wait for death! Zhongsun Fangfei. ”

Han Rujun craned his neck, looking like a swaggering victor, and he quietly stared at Zhongsun Fangfei's beautiful face. Expect the other person to be angry, angry, or even furious. Of course. It would be even better if the stepmother could rush up irrationally.

It's a pity that although Zhongsun Fangfei clenched her fists, after her body shook three times in a row, she regained her usual elegance and calmness in the action of inhaling deeply, and her soft eyes like apricots revealed a calm look.

"Fight for it. My Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce is not an empty shelf, this time, I will see how much financial support the Eastern School behind you can give you. ”

"Hehe, financial support can't be talked about, but the canal in the south is facing a comprehensive rectification because of capacity problems, especially some special goods. It is listed as an embargoed material. Check this out. ”

Han Rujun directly took out an official document, and under the big red seal of the household, it was a number of problems in rectifying the canal transportation, and Zhongsun Fangfei couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw it.

Several types of special forging materials and magic materials produced in the south have become embargoed items, and what makes matters worse is that she only learned from her subordinates yesterday that the black market trade that was once prosperous in Yuegang has also withered more and more in the past six months.

It was as if overnight, the entire Northland's material channels were all cut off.

Zhongsun Fangfei's angry lips turned blue, and when she stood up and was about to say something to send off the guest, Han Rujun sent another bombshell.

"The Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce has lost the mines of Black Wind Mountain, and has lost the core trade route from Wild Boar Ze to the Great Wasteland, what use do you say you have now, except for the beauty that is about to fade? Hehe, no wonder there are rumors that my father is going to divorce his wife and remarry! ”

"Get out! Han Rujun, get out! When Zhongsun Fangfei heard this, she immediately lost her temper.

"I'll go out of course, but it won't be long before you're out of the Duke's Palace! Haha, if you really can't get along in the future, as long as you are willing to ask me, I promise to give you a bite to eat, haha! ”

Han Rujun's arrogant laughter, in the end, there was a touch of obscenity, Zhongsun Fangfei couldn't bear it, and without waiting for this disgusting guy to leave, he slammed the door and left.

Looking at the suddenly closed gate, Han Rujun muttered to himself: "It's a pity, the effect is still a little worse, and the stinky girls don't do it!" Hmph, when you don't have the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce, even if your father doesn't stop you, others won't be happy. ”

Pushing open the door again, Han Rujun left with the aura of a victor on his toes, as if he had not come to send craftsmen and shops, but to receive the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhongsun Fangfei, who ran back to the bedroom, completely took off the disguise in front of the person, the calm and confident on her face disappeared completely, and was replaced by a sad face mixed with grievances, sadness, and sadness.

The Duchess, who was covered with a large quilt, only felt that she was struggling to move in the silent cry.

After the First World War of the Wild Boar River, the cornerstone of the Chamber of Commerce was completely destroyed, the core mine was gone, the channels for selling goods were also completely cut off, and to make matters worse, the duke's only concubine began to seize power and stand on his own.

Under the internal and external troubles, although Zhongsun Fangfei is still struggling to support and silently persist, the face of Han Wojin, the Duke of Yanguo, is gradually drifting away and becoming blurred in her memory.

Zhongsun Fangfei couldn't remember the last time the Grand Duke was in her room.

Is it a year, or two years?

Or three years?

Zhongsun Fangfei, who was hazy with tears in her eyes, was extremely weak at the moment, she hugged her trembling shoulders, and only hoped that she could have a solid arm to lean on.

But the husband who is regarded as dependent, Han Wojin, the high-ranking Grand Duke of Yan Kingdom, will always only care about her ability to make money, and even after the decline of the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce, the husband and wife have hardly crossed paths.

A strong sense of crisis lingered on Zhongsun Fangfei's side, she knew that what Han Rujun said was true, if she couldn't bring enough benefits to the Grand Duke, then she would ...... How can a woman from a merchant family be in the position of a duchess?

Make money, you have to make money!

Zhongsun Fangfei gritted her teeth and secretly swore that she must do her best to make enough profits to order her position in the family, so that her baby daughter would not be bullied.

Knock knock!

A hurried knock sounded on the door, and the next moment, Han Muyu's voice came in.

"Mommy, Mommy! What happened to you? How do you close the door? ”

"I'm fine, don't worry." Zhongsun Fangfei quickly wiped away her tears, and then sorted out a charming smile.

The moment he opened the door, Han Muyu exclaimed: "Mom, why are you crying?" ”

"Mom didn't cry, a bug flew into her eyes just now, and Mom is dealing with makeup!" While Zhongsun Fangfei pulled her daughter into the house, she locked the door again, and she said softly: "Remember, when a woman is in front of people, she must always be calm and generous, and her demeanor is myriad, as for our ugly appearance, we must not show it to outsiders." ”

"Really?" Han Muyu blinked his eyes with a puzzled expression.

Although the corners of Zhongsun Fangfei's eyes were obviously red, her charming smile was full of a gentle and tranquil feeling, and Han Muyu, who had just turned ten, couldn't tell for a while whether her mother was lying or not.

But soon, Zhongsun Fangfei took out the makeup box, and Han Muyu's attention immediately shifted to Aimei.

With a seemingly casual glance, Zhongsun Fangfei saw the carriage of the Duke's Mansion slowly departing from the window of the bedroom, and Han Rujun, who hated people, finally left.

The Duchess, who was relieved, suddenly remembered that she had an important client appointment today.

Just as the Duchess began to dress up carefully, Han Rujun's carriage also ran across the street, and three figures turned out from the corner of the street.

Qian Wuwu took Li Pojun and Jia Wei all the way to the door of the club of the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce, but after explaining his intentions, Qian Wuwu had a big closed door.

"Who are you? Do you have an appointment? The porter knew that the situation in the Chamber of Commerce had not been good recently, he looked at the three strangers who were obviously fledgling, shook his head and sighed, but still asked patiently, "Say, are you looking for that deacon?" ”

"Deacon? I'm here to sell goods, and your Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce isn't ......"

"Go, a mountain hunter, what can you sell, Lord Deacon doesn't have time to fool around with you." It's not that the porter wants to judge people by their appearance, it's really the casual clothes of Qian Wuwu and others, it's too casual.

"My lord is a fiefdom knight!" Jawi quit at the time.

The porter of the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce, but the old man of the Duke's Palace, heard that someone was talking to him about his identity, and immediately laughed: "Do you know the background of this Chamber of Commerce?" Even if the earl comes, you have to be respectful, you are all right, let's disperse quickly. ”

Jia Wei was about to get angry, but was stopped by Qian Wuwu, he took out a Wen Jiàn bag from his arms and said: "Please transfer this to Madame, if Madame is interested, please also ask her to move to Hongyun Restaurant at noon, just say that Qian Wuwu is invited." ”

Seeing Qian Wuwu turn around and leave, the porter casually threw the bag aside, and hummed in his mouth:

"Ma'am? What lady? It's really headless to speak. ”

"Duchess, can I have a friendship with you, a knight of unknown origin?"

"It's ridiculous, Fortune Restaurant!? Hey, where you drink a little wine on the street, can you also ask someone to talk about business? Today's young people are really becoming more and more unruly. ”

After a full two hours, the door of the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce finally opened, and the Duchess Zhongsun Fangfei, who was smiling charmingly, slowly walked out with her entourage.

Although the porter didn't wait to see the money without worry, he still picked up the bag and prepared for the routine.

"Ma'am, here's a ......"

"Is it a special urgency? If it's a normal matter, I'll leave it to me when I come back. ”

As a businessman, she will not let go of any opportunities, but she will not waste any time.

The concierge's eyes were poisonous, he just looked at Madame's outfit, and knew that this was going to talk about big business, big business, what kind of garbage in his hand was the lowest business, and he could only pass the leisure time for Madame, as a plaything.

After confirming that Madame did not want to be distracted by the carriage, the porter, who was holding the bag of Wen Jiàn, immediately shrank back. (To be continued......)
