"Yes, it was given to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce by the Holy Lord." Zhu Youning said with a smile.

Cao Shi looked at Zhu Youning, his eyes were full of appreciation and envy, "Miss Nine is a heroine among women, and we ordinary women can't compare." It must have taken a lot of effort to get the holy gift for the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, right? ”

Zhu Youning couldn't say that the imperial gifts and plaques were all received by her in order to save her life, so she had to bow her head shyly and smile.

Cao originally thought that Zhu Youning had done such a big thing, at her age, she would definitely be proud of it, but she didn't expect that she was not only amiable, but also did not have any arrogance, and treated her and Brother Huan very kindly, without the slightest intention of looking down on them, and she felt a little more friendly in her heart.

sent Zhu Youning back to the room to settle down, and the Cao family personally set up a dinner.

At the dinner, Zhu Youning met Zhu Hualiang.

After so many years, Zhu Hualiang has taken root in Hangzhou because of the name of the Zhu family, and he is much calmer, and he has also become a little blessed, and his smile is more kind when he meets people, and his speech makes people feel very comfortable.

When it came to the imperial gifts, Zhu Youning only deduced that it was because Uncle Shen helped in the construction of the towns along the Yellow River, and did not explain much in detail, but asked Zhu Hualiang to bring a message to President Lin of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"In order to discuss the matter of the holy gifts, I also ask President Lin to inform the bosses to come to Hangzhou as soon as possible."

Zhu Hualiang nodded, wanting to ask about the passage, but Zhu Youning avoided talking about it, and only said with a smile: "Uncle Liangtang will know when the time comes." It's not a bad thing. ”

When Zhu Hualiang heard this, he didn't want to ask again. Anyway, with Zhu Youning's mind, he will never calculate the loss.

However, in the news here, Zhu Hualiang still ordered someone to send a letter to Mrs. Zhu in Fuyang.

Regardless of how Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Yanfeng and others felt when they got the news.

As soon as President Lin heard that Zhu Youning had brought back the imperial gift from the capital, his heart was also full of doubts after being surprised.

Zhu Youning has the title of honorary president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but she has been silent for six years, and it is said that she followed several famous teachers to study knowledge, but everyone in the Chamber of Commerce did not believe it.

What does a girl's family learn?

There are so many good sons in the world, and it's not like they can't find other disciples.

But six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and as soon as Zhu Youning came out of the mountain, he sent them such a big surprise. This made President Lin have to reassess Zhu Youning's ability.

Could it be that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is going to have an outlier like Renyibo?

If the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce really received the royal gift from the Holy Lord, does it mean that the imperial court's attitude towards merchants has begun to change?

Thinking of this, President Lin was shocked. Since the imperial court did not allow transactions, these businessmen have long been gritting their teeth and insisting, and those who can join the Chamber of Commerce are all leaders from all over Hangzhou, and they are still having a hard time, and the small merchants in various places are not knowing how many are closed.

If the Holy Lord really intends to support the merchants, then the days to come will usher in a major turning point!

Thinking of this, President Lin urged people to send letters to the members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce in various places, asking you to arrive in Hangzhou as soon as possible.

Prior to this, President Lin also went to visit Cheng's family.

Master Cheng was hit too hard by Cheng Yujun's incident, and hemiplegia developed into a whole body paralysis, but he drove west in two years, and Mrs. Cheng couldn't withstand the double blow, so she followed Master Cheng in the New Year. Now the Cheng family's huge business has been handed over to Cheng Zhujun.

Business has not been good in recent years, and the Cheng family has suffered a lot even if the family has a big business, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Cheng Zhujun, a female streamer, still supports the courtyard in the end, which makes people feel admired.

President Lin met Cheng Zhujun and politely explained the matter of Zhu Youning bringing back the imperial gift from the capital.

Cheng Zhujun had just given birth to his second son and was not long out of confinement, and after his body became richer, he seemed more calm.

When Zhu Youning was mentioned, Cheng Zhujun sneered.

"She's very capable. I don't know how much work she wasted on the line of Renyibo. ”

The irony in the words can easily make people think crookedly.

President Lin said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Renyi caused a lawsuit, and now it has been resolved by Fang Qingtian. Miss Zhu may have caught up with the happy event of the innocence of Renyi Uncle in the capital, and it is unknown that this uncle will help match the bridge as soon as he is happy. ”

Cheng Zhujun said: "I want to see, if she dares to come back with a fake imperial gift, it will be a crime to kill her head." ”

President Lin didn't care what Cheng Zhujun's attitude was, as long as she promised to come with him, he had already achieved his goal.

The Cheng family is still the richest man in Hangzhou, and there are rumors that the Chang'an money house that has opened everywhere in Hangzhou is Miss Cheng's industry, which makes people respect Miss Cheng a little more.

It doesn't matter if they're here to see the excitement, it's good to be there.

In this way, within seven days, members from all over the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce gathered in Hangzhou.

Zhu Youning received President Lin's post, and on March 29, members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce gathered at Cheng's house to see the royal gifts.

"Girl, let's go to Cheng's house tomorrow, but we have to prepare for it. Miss Cheng may still hold a grudge against you. ”

"Yes, I will definitely hold a grudge." Zhu Youning didn't feel worried, "It doesn't matter, anyway, there will be more opportunities to fight in the future, and I will slowly get used to it." ”

Thrush and Bailing were a little stunned, they heard that Zhu Youning seemed to be comforted, but they didn't feel relaxed at all, but instead pinched Zhu Youning's sweat, what should they do?

Compared with the two nervous maidservants, Zhu Youning is much more leisurely.

After a good night's sleep, he got up early the next day to eat, and Zhu Youning dressed up. Let the Buddha Eight Masters, Feilong Soup, Buckle Meat, and the Dou family's father and son escort the royal gifts together, and they also brought thrushes, larks and Dou Wanwan with them.

When I came to the gate of Cheng's house, there were already a lot of carriages gathered in front of Cheng's house.

The flat-headed carriage with the Zhu family's lanterns on Zhu Youning slowly stopped, and immediately attracted the attention of many bosses who were walking towards the mansion and saluting each other.

Dou Wanwan set up the stool for stepping feet, and Thrush and Bailing helped Zhu Youning out of the car one by one.

Although the members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce have changed over the years, most of them are still the old people of the year, or the descendants of the old people of various families, that is, the talents who fought for Yu Ruyi with Zhu Youning back then. In their impression, Miss Zhu is still a milk doll, and now the slim girl is standing in front of them, smiling and greeting them, and they really realize that six years have really passed.

Zhu Youning greeted several recognizable bosses with a smile and saluted, and then turned around and ordered the Buddha and the others to follow with the royal gifts.

Then the crowd looked back in the direction of the carriage.

I saw that the people carried out a plaque covered with red silk cloth first, and then there were people holding a tray with red silk on it.

Everyone knew that it was the legendary gift.

Zhu Youning greeted several bosses all the way to the front hall of Cheng's mansion.

For this gathering, the Cheng family has made full preparations for the long vacation, and three rows of circle chairs and square tables have been added on both sides of the hall, on which seasonal fruits and snacks have been placed. There are also small petal-shaped boxes with melon seeds, candied fruits and other things.

Zhu Youning's arrival made the somewhat noisy front hall quiet for a moment.

President Lin looked up and down at the pretty girl wearing a honey-colored arrow-sleeved jacket and an eight-piece skirt of the same color brocade, and found her former shadow from her big smart eyes, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head while stepping forward and said, "Miss Zhu, I haven't seen you for six years, and I don't dare to recognize it." ”

"President Lin hasn't changed at all, he's still so tough." Zhu Youning gave a salute, with elegant demeanor and beautiful posture.

President Lin is old, and what he likes to hear most is that others praise him for being young, Zhu Youning's words are exactly what he wants, President Lin twisted his beard with a smile, and joked with a few bosses next to him: "The big guys have forgotten?" This is Miss Zhu Jiu, who solved the difficulty of sealing the mountain in Linshan County for us back then, and won the royal gift of jade Ruyi, the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

Several of them were older than Zhu Youning, and she naturally saluted first, which made several bosses feel a lot more comfortable.

When Cheng Zhujun came to the front hall, he saw the scene of Zhu Youning talking happily with President Lin and several bosses with heads and faces.

At first glance, Zhu Youning was stunned for a while.

The little girl back then was so tall and ghostly. Now it has come out like a flower and jade, like a jade person who has been carefully carved into a person, and watching her talk generously and without losing her reserve as a woman, talking and laughing with people gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and it will not make people feel that she is so frivolous as a woman.

Cheng Zhujun looked down at his much plump figure because of production, and touched his face again, before he could say hello to Zhu Youning, he was already a little sour and jealous in his heart.

The years are unforgiving, and she is already old. But her opponent is in his prime.

"Boss Cheng." Someone saw Cheng Zhujun and stepped forward to say hello.

Cheng Zhujun gathered his thoughts, greeted him with a smile, and then walked to Zhu Youning.

"Miss Zhu?"

"Sister Cheng." Zhu Youning smiled and saluted.

Cheng Zhujun was a little embarrassed, but with so many people watching, she couldn't behave too rudely, after all, they were all members of Rose.

Cheng Zhujun smiled and took Zhu Youning's hand, bowed back, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my sister for many years, my sister is so smart, my sister doesn't dare to admit it." ”

"Sister Cheng is still so fond of jokes. I heard that Sister Cheng was happy again, but she hasn't said congratulations yet. ”

Cheng Zhujun felt that these words were a little harsh, and the smile on his face faded. He let go of his hand and said, "The hour is not early." Why don't you start now? Bosses, I'm afraid they can't wait to see the Imperial Gifts. ”

Chairman Lin was worried that Cheng Zhujun and Zhu Youning had a conflict and made people laugh, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Let's start." ”

With this, all the bosses went to find a seat in their own capacity.

Zhu Youning naturally sat in the position where the honorary president should sit.

The Buddha Eight Masters, Feilong Soup, Buckle Meat, Dou Wanwan and others were all standing behind Zhu Youning.

President Lin said loudly: "Everyone gathered together today because the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce brought back the imperial gift from the capital. Invite everyone to open their eyes. Miss Zhu? ”

In the quiet front hall, everyone looked at Zhu Youning in unison.

Zhu Youning did not immediately ask people to lift the red silk cloth on the plaque and tray. Instead, he sat dignified and said with a smile: "No hurry." I've already brought everything. But the ownership of these things is up for debate. Before I do that, I would like to say one thing to you. ”

President Lin's brow jumped.

I always feel that things are not simple, is there really a conspiracy?

Cheng Zhujun smiled contemptuously, with an expression of waiting to see what tricks Zhu Youning played.

Zhu Youning didn't care at all, and said in a flat tone like discussing what dishes to eat for lunch: "I will build a dam along the Yellow River for the saint in the capital for the big guys, and I will donate 400,000 taels of silver to the city." ”

There was silence in the room.

The bosses felt that they must have misheard.

There are a few who haven't reacted yet.

Cheng Zhujun had already sneered first, "What did Miss Zhu say?" You make the decision for us? Why are you? ”

Cheng Zhujun's words spoke to everyone's hearts.

Several older bosses were more steady, but they just frowned and shook their heads repeatedly, looking at Zhu Youning's eyes very unkindly. Those who were younger or quick-tempered had already pointed at Zhu Youning and reprimanded or cursed.

"You're just an honorary president, and you haven't shown your head for many years, so why do you make decisions for us?"

"Miss Zhu is acting too much, and even President Lin will come to everyone to discuss something before deciding. You made a decision alone, and you went out of the 400,000 taels of silver yourself! ”

"That's right! Now that business is difficult to do, you don't know, who can get the money to donate! ”

"Sick in the brain! It's really a female generation who can't climb the platform! ”

……

The more people talked, the more excited they became, and the more they scolded, the more ugly they became.

The faces of the buckles and Dou Wanwan, who were standing behind Zhu Youning, were extremely ugly, and the thrush and Bailing were even redder, and even their ears were red.

Zhu Youning was still sitting with the old god, and even took a sip of tea leisurely with the tea bowl.

The Eighth Master of the Buddha didn't know much about Zhu Youning, and followed her all the way to Hangzhou, and saw that she was in danger now, the Eighth Master of the Buddha became more curious about Zhu Youning, and vaguely could guess what she wanted to do.

The more the members of the chamber of commerce scolded, the louder they were, but the people who were scolded didn't even speak, and they were still eating tea in a good place, and they didn't even have the heart to scold.

The voice in the hall weakened.

Only then did Zhu Youning gently put down the white porcelain teacup, raised his eyes and smiled: "Bosses, don't panic. I didn't say that everyone had to donate. It doesn't matter if you pledge this money or not. ”

"Really?" Cheng Zhujun sneered, "Miss Zhu has such a big breath. If we don't donate, 400,000 taels of silver must not be difficult for your Zhu family! ”

"That's right! You have to pay for it yourself! Someone immediately chimed in.

Zhu Youning nodded and said with a smile: "This is true. It's not just our Zhu family, but whoever can join the boss of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, who doesn't have any financial resources at home?

"I also said that whether you donate or not, it's all up to you. However, if you want to donate to the imperial court with me, you can follow me in the future. ”
