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

Cao looked at Zhu Youning with admiration and envy, "Miss Jiu is a hero among women, and we ordinary women are not as good as us. It must have taken a lot of effort to win the gift from the emperor for the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Zhu Youning couldn't say that the gifts and plaques given by the emperor were all caused by her to save her life, so she had to lower her head and smile shyly.

Cao originally thought that Zhu Youning had accomplished such a big thing, and at her age, she would definitely be proud of it. Unexpectedly, she not only brought people in harmony, but also had no arrogance, and was very kind to her and Brother Huan, and she had no intention of underestimating them. She felt a little more in her heart.

After sending Zhu Youning back to the room to settle down, Cao personally organized a dinner party.

At the dinner, Zhu Youning met Zhu Hualiang.

After so many years, Zhu Hualiang has taken root in Hangzhou because of the Zhu family's reputation. He has become much more stable and has gained weight. His smile becomes more gentle when he sees people, and his words make people feel very comfortable.

When talking about the gifts given by the emperor, Zhu Youning only said that it was because Mr. Shen, who was helping to build a town along the Yellow River, did not explain much in the details, but asked Zhu Hualiang to bring information to President Lin of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"In order to discuss the matter of the gift given by the emperor, please also ask President Lin to inform all the bosses and come to Hangzhou as soon as possible."

Zhu Hualiang nodded and wanted to ask about the story in detail, but Zhu Youning avoided talking and just smiled and said, "Uncle Liang will know then. It's not a bad thing."

When Zhu Hualiang heard this, he didn't know how to ask again. Anyway, with Zhu Youning's mind, he would never have calculated that he would lose money.

However, during this news, Zhu Hualiang ordered people to send a letter to Mr. Zhu in Fuyang.

Regardless of what the old man Zhu, Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Yanfeng and others think when they get the news.

When President Lin heard that Zhu Youning had brought back the imperial gift from the capital, he was filled with doubts after being surprised.

Zhu Youning was named honorary president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but she was silent for six years. It is said that she followed several famous teachers to study and learn, but everyone in the Chamber of Commerce did not believe it very much.

What knowledge does a girl learn in her home?

There are so many good men in the world, so those who can't find other disciples.

But six years passed in the blink of an eye, and as soon as Zhu Youning came out of the mountain, he gave them such a big surprise. This forced President Lin to re-estimate Zhu Youning's ability.

Could it be that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce will produce another alien like Ren Yi Bo?

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

When President Lin thought of this, he was shocked. Since the court refused to allow transactions, these merchants have long been gritting their teeth and insisting. Those who can join the chamber of commerce are the leaders in Hangzhou Prefecture and have still had a hard time living a life of hardships. There are so many small merchants in various places who have closed their doors.

If the emperor really intends to support the businessman, then the days ahead will usher in a major turning point!

Thinking of this, Chairman Lin urged people to send letters to members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce in various places, and asked you to arrive at Hangzhou Prefecture as quickly as possible.

Before this, President Lin also visited the Cheng family specially.

Mr. Cheng was severely hit by Cheng Yujun's affairs, and his hemiplegia developed into paralysis. In just two years, Mrs. Cheng also followed Mr. Cheng because he could not withstand the double blow. Now the Cheng family's huge business has been handed over to Cheng Zhujun.

Business is not easy to do in recent years, even if the Cheng family is big and big, it has been hit a lot. However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Cheng Zhujun, a female, still supports the family, which makes people admire him.

When President Lin met Cheng Zhujun, he politely brought Zhu Youning back from the capital and explained the fact that he gave the imperial gift.

Cheng Zhujun had just given birth to her second child and had just passed the confinement period. After becoming rich, she looked more calm.

When Cheng Zhujun mentioned Zhu Ning, he sneered.

"She is very capable. I don't know how much time she has spent on the line that Bo Renyi."

The irony in the words can easily make people think of it wrong.

President Lin smiled and said, "I heard that Uncle Renyi had committed a lawsuit, and now it has been resolved by Fang Qingtian. Ms. Zhu may have caught up with Uncle Renyi's unaccused event in the capital. When this Uncle was happy, it is unknown if he helped to build a bridge."

Cheng Zhujun said, "I want to see if she dares to come back with a fake gift, it will be a crime to behead him."

President Lin, no matter what Cheng Zhujun's attitude is, 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 Prefecture, and there are also rumors that Chang'an money houses opened everywhere in Hangzhou Prefecture are Ms. Cheng's property, which makes people respect Ms. Cheng more. She is willing to participate, and those who act according to the Cheng family's eyes will come together.

Regardless of whether they are just watching the fun or not, it is good to be able to come.

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

Zhu Youning received a post from President Lin. On March 29, members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce gathered in the Cheng family to personally see the things given by the emperor.

"Girl, we are going to the Cheng family tomorrow, but we must prepare for it. Miss Cheng may still hold a grudge against you."

"I will definitely hold a grudge." Zhu Youning didn't feel worried. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are more opportunities to fight in the future, so I gradually got used to it."

Huamei and Bailing were both a little stunned. They heard that Zhu Youning seemed to be comforting, but they didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, they changed Zhu Youning and sweated. What should they do?

Compared with the two nervous maids, Zhu Youning is much more leisurely and contented.

After a good night's sleep, he got up early the next day and just had to eat. Zhu Youning dressed up happily. He asked the Eighth Master of Buddha, Feilong Soup, and the Dou family to escort the gifts given by the emperor together, and specially brought the thrush, Bai Ling and Dou Wanwan around him.

When we arrived in front of the Cheng family, many carriages had gathered in front of the Cheng family.

The flat-headed carriage that Zhu Youning was riding with the Zhu family lanterns slowly stopped, which immediately attracted the attention of many bosses who were walking into the mansion while bowing and greeting each other.

Dou Wanwan arranged the stool for foot pads, and Huamei and Bai Lingyi helped Zhu Youning get out of the car on the left and right.

Although the members of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce have changed over the years, most of them are the old people of the past, or the descendants of the elderly from each family, that is, the talents who fought for Yu Ruyi with Zhu Youning. In their impression, the Zhu family was still a baby, and the graceful girl who is now standing in front of them, smiling and greeting them. Only then did they truly realize that six years have passed.

Zhu Youning greeted several recognized bosses with a smile and greeted him, then turned around and ordered Fo Baye and others to follow with the gifts given by the emperor.

Then everyone turned around and looked towards the carriage.

The people who were following the people first carried out a plaque covered with red silk cloth, and then there were people holding trays, which were also covered with red silk.

Everyone knows that it is the legendary imperial gift.

Zhu Youning greeted several bosses and came to the front hall of Cheng's mansion.

For this party, Cheng's family made full preparations for the long holiday. Three rows of ring chairs and square tables were added on both sides of the hall, and seasonal fruits and snacks were already placed on the tables. Small petal-shaped boxes were also placed with melon seeds and candied fruits.

Zhu Youning's arrival made the 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 a brocade eight-spoke skirt in the same color. She found her former shadow from her smart big eyes. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head and went forward and said, "Miss Zhu, I haven't seen you for six years, and I don't dare to recognize you."

"President Lin has not changed at all, and he is still so tough." Zhu Youning politely, with a graceful manner and a beautiful figure.

President Lin is old and his favorite thing is that others praise him for his youth. Zhu Youning's words are just as he wants. President Lin smiled and twisted his beards, and joked with several bosses beside him: "Have you forgotten? This is Miss Zhu Jiu, who solved the difficulty of sealing the mountains in Linshan County for us back then and received the imperial jade wishfulness, and the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce."

All of them were older than Zhu Youning, so she naturally greeted her first, which made the bosses feel much more relieved.

When Cheng Zhujun came to the front hall, he saw the scene where Zhu Youning had a great chat with President Lin and several well-known bosses.

At first glance, Cheng Zhujun was stunned for a while.

The little girl back then was so tall, she was so slightly savage. Now she has fallen like flowers and jade, like a jade man carefully carved into a man. She speaks generously and does not lose her reserve as a woman. Talking and laughing with others gives people a feeling of being a spring breeze, but it will not make people feel that she acts so frivolous as a woman.

Cheng Zhujun looked down at her body that had become much plump due to childbirth, and then touched her face. Before she could say hello to Zhu Youning, her husband felt a little sad and jealous.

Time is unforgiving, she is already old. But her opponent is in his prime.

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

Cheng Zhujun calmed down, smiled and greeted him, and then walked to Zhu Youning.

"Miss Zhu?"

"Sister Cheng." Zhu Youning smiled and bowed.

Cheng Zhujun was a little disgusted, but she couldn't act too polite when she looked at it because so many people were watching it. After all, they were all members of Rose.

Cheng Zhujun smiled and took Zhu Youning's hand, knelt back, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and my sister is so beautiful that she dare not recognize her."

"Sister Cheng is still so joking. I heard that Sister Cheng is happy with Lin'er again, but she hasn't said congratulations yet."

Cheng Zhujun felt that this was a little harsh, and his smile became lighter. He let go of his hand and said, "It's getting late. Why not start now? Bosses may not be able to wait to see the style of the gifts given by the emperor at this moment."

President Lin was worried that Cheng Zhujun and Zhu Youning would have a conflict, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Let's start now."

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

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

Fo Ba Master, Feilong Soup, Kuaidu, Dou Wanwan and others all stood behind Zhu Youning.

President Lin said loudly: "I'm all gathering together today because the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce brought back the imperial gift from the capital. I invite everyone to come and open their eyes. Miss Zhu?"

In the quiet front hall, everyone looked at Zhu Youning at the same time.

However, Zhu Youning did not immediately let someone lift the red silk cloth on the plaque and the tray. Instead, he sat dignifiedly and said with a smile: "No hurry. I have brought all the things. But the belongings of these things are still to be discussed. Before that, I will tell you something."

President Lin's brows jumped.

I always feel that things are not simple. Is there really a conspiracy?

Cheng Zhujun smiled contemptuously, looking at what he was waiting to see Zhu Youning play tricks.

Zhu Youning didn't care at all and said in a plain tone as if discussing what dishes to eat for lunch: "I am here in the capital to build a dam along the Yellow River for the emperor, and I will donate 400,000 taels of silver under the city."

There was silence inside the house.

All the bosses felt that they must have heard it wrong.

There are a few who haven't reacted yet.

Cheng Zhujun sneered first, "What did Miss Zhu say? Are you making the decision for us? Why are you?"

Cheng Zhujun's words expressed everyone's thoughts.

The older bosses were more steady, but they just frowned and shook their heads. Their eyes looked very bad at Zhu Youning. Those who were younger or more impatient were already pointing at Zhu Youning to scold or curse.

"You are just an honorary president and have not been revealed for many years. Why do you make decisions for us?"

"Ms. Zhu is too arrogant. Even President Lin will come to discuss what he has done before he decides. You make a decision by yourself, and you can pay the 400,000 taels of silver by yourself!"

"Yes! You are not unaware of the difficulty in doing business now. Who can give out the money to donate money!"

"I'm brain-sick! It's really a female-like person who can't get on the high-end plate!"

...

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

The braid standing behind Zhu Youning and Dou Wanwan's face were extremely ugly, and the thrush and Bailing were even red, and even their ears were red.

Zhu Youning was still sitting there in a state of deity, and even picked up the tea bowl and took a leisurely sip of tea.

Master Fo Ba knew little about Zhu Youning, and he followed her to Hangzhou along the way. When he saw that she was in danger, Master Fo Ba was even more curious about Zhu Youning and could vaguely guess what she wanted to do.

The more the members of the chamber of commerce cursed, the higher the voices, but the people who were scolded never spoke, and they were still having fun eating tea, and they were not even thinking about cursing.

The sound in the hall became weaker.

Zhu Youning then gently put down the white porcelain teacup, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't panic, bosses. I didn't say that everyone must donate. Whether you pledge or not, it doesn't matter."

"Is that true?" Cheng Zhujun sneered, "Miss Zhu is such a big tone. We don't donate, and 400,000 taels of silver will definitely not pose a problem for your Zhu family!"

"Yes! If you want to pay, go out by yourself!" Someone immediately echoed.

Zhu Youning nodded and smiled and said, "This is true. Not only our Zhu family, but who does not have any financial resources for the boss who can join the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?
Chapter completed!
