Chapter 389, Representing Yourself
"Go to the Cathay Pacific Promenade, it's fine."
Seeing that Shi Fuxin was already walking towards the bridge corridor, Hu Xinrui comforted Gongsun Ming, and then followed quickly with Du Zixuan.
"Didn't Hong Yanxiao fail the qualifications of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Du Zixuan was very confused when Shi Fuxin was going to the center of the lake, and pulled Hu Xinrui to deliberately slow down.
Hu Xinrui looked at Shi Fuxin's back: "She definitely doesn't represent a girl."
Du Zixuan's eyes flickered: "Could it be that she is the person behind Baicaotang?"
Hu Xinrui did not refute: "She is the apprentice of the old man in Tianchi, and a doctor cannot treat people without medicinal materials."
Du Zixuan lowered her voice: "If this is the case, then she is even more powerful than we imagined. A few years ago, the Sea Snake Gang was wiped out overnight, and everyone in the family said that the Supreme Master was dispatched."
"It's hard enough to get acquainted with the supreme master, but she can still ask the supreme master to help. This relationship is really strong enough."
Hu Xinrui was silent: "Shizhenghe's family, a family of five or nine grades, looking at the rich and powerful families in the entire capital, which family can do this?"
"Even if you are a talented martial arts genius, you can never become a top master without someone behind you."
"The only person who can teach ninth-grade masters is the Supreme Master."
Du Zixuan nodded approvingly, seeing that Shi Fuxin had already stepped onto the bridge corridor, she said, "Let's walk faster too."
Watching Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan walk towards the center of the lake together, the people in the Cathay Pacific Corridor and Minyin Corridor are surprisingly quiet.
The attic in the center of the lake once again reproduced the scene where everyone twisted their necks in unison.
Even Dongfang Changhong looked sideways at the three of Shi Fuxin who were approaching, with raised brows and a trace of surprise and surprise on his face.
He has dealt with two companies, Haixing Bank and Guangli Cang. He has bought cargo ships from Haixing Bank and grain from Guangli Cang, and has seen the methods of these two companies.
They all hang out in the South China Sea, so they know a little about each other's details.
Haixinghang and Guangli Cang are much more powerful than what the imperial court clearly grasped.
I really didn't expect that the heads of these two families were actually two women.
But three women came, two of them belonged to Haixinghang and Guanglicang, so who is the other one?
Dongfang Changhong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around at the other people present, and paused for a moment on Ximen Fengxiao.
Could it be Shennong Hall?
This guess made Dongfang Changhong's heart skip a beat.
Shen Nong Hall, although it has only been around for less than ten years, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on the northern border, and it has a far-reaching influence on the soldiers guarding the border.
You know, every March, Shennongtang will provide free medical consultations for soldiers on the frontier.
The low-level soldiers live in poverty, and most of the time they can only suffer when they get sick. Shennongtang rescued them from their illnesses, so they are like reborn parents.
If he was a soldier, he would also be grateful to Shennongtang.
The name of Shennongtang is not only well-known in the North, but also in the South China Sea. There is no way, the pills sold by Shennongtang are too easy to use.
Dongchanghui is engaged in the shipping business, and the sailors will have various physical problems when they have to walk on the sea for a long time. After taking the pills from Shennongtang, the chances of the sailors getting sick plummeted.
He still remembers that when he first learned about Shennongtang from his friends a few years ago, he asked ten connections before he bought three bottles of pills.
Master of Shennong Hall, what a pleasure to meet you!
At the same time, on the second floor of the attic, the eyes of the emperor and the princes all fell on Chu Yao.
Chu Yao looked dumbfounded, staring and opening his mouth, looking at Shi Fuxin who was walking towards the center of the lake with disbelief, because he was so surprised that he seemed to have forgotten even the emperor and others.
Chu Yao is like this, there is an element of show, but watching Shi Fuxin walk towards the attic step by step firmly and calmly, he is indeed a little shocked deep in his heart.
The emperor looked at Chu Yao with deep eyes, and then his eyes moved to the stunned eldest prince.
The prince and other princes all darkened their faces.
At this moment, Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan arrived in front of the attic.
The official who registered the names knew the three of them, and instinctively greeted them: "Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Gongsun, and Mrs. Zhuangyuan."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "My lord, there is no Mrs. Yao here, only Shi Fuxin."
This answer stunned the official.
Shi Fuxin said again: "The master of Shennong Hall, Shi Fuxin."
The official turned from stunned to startled, suppressed the shock in his heart, and quickly wrote down the name.
Almost the moment Shi Fuxin's voice fell, there were small voices of discussion in the attic.
"The master of Shennong Hall is actually a woman!"
Before everyone discussed it for a long time, Hu Xinrui immediately followed Fuxin, and said to the registrar: "Hu Xinrui, the owner of Dahai Xingxing."
Du Zixuan: "Guangli warehouse owner, Du Zixuan."
The registration officer tried hard to write quickly with a straight face, while the businessmen in the attic were discussing more and more enthusiastically, the voices were so loud that even the emperor on the second floor couldn't care.
Under the stunned gaze of the businessmen, Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan walked into the attic.
As soon as Shi Fuxin entered, Master Xiang, Ximen Fengxiao, and Shang Laojiu stood up at the same time: "Master."
Watching this scene, the scene was instantly quiet.
Both Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan looked at Shi Fuxin in amazement.
Not only the master of Shennong Hall, but also the helm of Baicao Hall? !
Dongfang Changhong also showed shock on his face. Shennongtang and Baicaotang are one family, which he never expected.
Shi Fuxin nodded to Master Xiang and the three of them, signaling them to sit down, then looked around where everyone was sitting, and moved her eyes to the ten seats representing the identity of the imperial merchant.
The emperor personally participates in the selection of the imperial merchants. No matter the emperor has other purposes, or he will put forward harsher conditions than before, since she is here, she will always fight for the position of the imperial merchants.
Without hesitation, Shi Fuxin walked straight to the first seat on the east side, sat down directly, and nodded to greet Dongfang Changhong who was smiling across the way.
Dongfang Changhong smiled back at Shi Fuxin's proactive greeting.
Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan looked at each other, then walked to the east side, and took a seat next to Shi Fuxin.
After sitting down, Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan all looked calm in the face of other people staring at them unabashedly. When others looked at them, they also looked at them with great interest.
At this moment, they are no longer the girls at home, no longer the husband's wife.
At this moment, they are themselves and only represent themselves.
What men can do, women can do too.
The ten positions of the imperial merchants were originally specially designed to consider the confidence and wealth of the merchants. After going to four of them, three of them were still occupied by women.
Regarding this, the six ministers sitting behind the long table looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect this situation at all.
On the second floor, the emperor sipped hot tea slowly, and there was nothing unusual on his face.
Chu Yao and the First Prince were both distracted.
At this moment, both of them were not in a calm mood. Chu Yao was worried that Shi Fuxin's identity as the master of Shennong Hall would be involved in the imperial power struggle, while the eldest prince was amazed in his heart. He seemed to have worshiped a great master!
The faces of the crown prince and the fourth prince were brilliant. Both of them had conflicts with Shi Fuxin. Now seeing that Shi Fuxin has such a big power in his hands, they felt regretful, annoyed, and even more apprehensive.
As for the other princes, the most obvious emotion is jealousy, jealousy of the eldest prince.
"Brother Dahuang is really sitting at home, and the teacher came from the sky. This fate is too good." A prince muttered in a low voice.
Since the second floor is relatively quiet, everyone can hear it.
The emperor glanced at the eldest prince, and was a little surprised at the luck of the eldest son.
The eldest son of the royal family, his status is naturally superior to other princes; because of his poor health, he had already lost the chance to inherit the throne, but his health recovered later.
Health is good, and due to the night of the court, the power is not as good as other princes, but now there is a master who is the master of Shennong Hall.
Shen Nong Tang, even as the emperor himself is jealous!
The emperor moved away from the eldest prince and looked at Chu Yao: "Do you know that your wife is the head of Shennong Hall?"
Chu Yao shook his head: "I don't know." Knowing that the emperor would not believe this, he added, "It is true that I have never thought about this."
The emperor believed some of these words.
Who would have imagined that a woman who is not yet twenty could be so skillful.
There are twenty-six shops in Shennongtang, and there are three islands where medicinal herbs are planted. By the way, there are also hundreds of shops selling rouge and gouache.
This skill is something that few men can do.
The prince snorted coldly: "You don't even know about your wife's situation, and you, the commander of the Supervision Department, are really incompetent."
Chu Yao didn't refute, but the emperor glanced at the crown prince, and said displeasedly: "Chu Yao is incompetent, so do you think you can get any better?"
"There are three women sitting below, and most of you are marriageable, but no one has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you. Fortunately, you are still princes, and I have lost my face."
Hearing this, the princes present felt a little uncomfortable.
Only the crown prince glared at Chu Yao with fierce eyes. If Chu Yao hadn't jumped out suddenly, Shi Fuxin would have entered the backyard of his East Palace long ago.
It was Chu Yao who robbed his woman!
