The pattern of Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger. The rows of shops occupy nearly 300 meters of Tongtian Street. They are divided into seven auction houses of different sizes. There are also dozens of rice shops and iron shops. There is an endless stream of motorcades to and from the Chamber of Commerce, not only selling high-end goods such as heavenly books, artifacts, weapons, but also living supplies such as brocades, cloth, rice, etc. The entire Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce employs nearly 50,000 people. It can be said that, A Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce operates at least 10% of the people's livelihood resources in the imperial capital Lanyan City. Otherwise, the production of Lanyan City alone may not be able to feed millions of people.
In the back hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Muyu and Chu Yao were sitting in the hall, and Jin Xiaotang in a red dress was no longer a girl, but had grown into a charming and beautiful woman. Jin Xiaotang was also twenty-six years old. Without cultivation, she became mature like an ordinary woman, a little bit less playful of a girl, but a little more charming that a woman should have.
Holding the account book in his hand, Jin Xiaotang smiled and said, "Look, Brother Ayu, this is the breakdown of the expenditure and income of the Chamber of Commerce in the past year. However, this is a general account. There are more than one hundred detailed accounts. If you look at it. I'll take you to see it."
"No need."
Lin Muyu took the ledger and said with a smile: "Xiaotang, sit down, too."
"Ok."
￠, Jin Xiaotang smiled and sat down in the chair beside him, turned sideways and craned his neck to watch Lin Muyu look through the account book.
"Thanks for your hard work over the years, Xiaotang." Lin Muyu said while flipping through: "Without your help, I am afraid that the economy of Lingdong Province would not recover so quickly, and we would not be able to compete with the Tianji Empire for so long. You have helped me several times just because of the rations. Thank you so much."
Jin Xiaotang's eyes blushed: "Whatever my brother said, I would be your only relative. If you had taken me out of the slum, Xiaotang would not know what it looked like now! What I did for my brother is supposed to be. Yes, besides, I am only the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce, and my brother is the owner of the Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, my brother has the final say on how to use the money and food."
"No."
Lin Muyu closed the ledger, looked at her and said, "Xiaotang, you are the owner of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce. You have already been here. This Chamber of Commerce should belong to you."
"Huh?" Jin Xiaotang opened his small mouth.
Chu Yao smiled on the side, "Well, don't check the accounts as soon as you meet, let's talk about other things, Xiaotang is also a big boss, do you have a brother or something in the picture?"
Jin Xiaotang's face turned red instantly.
Lin Muyu smiled happily: "It seems that there must be one. Let's talk about it. I will help you to find out which one it is. If others want, I will be a matchmaker for you."
"No, no!" Jin Xiaotang stomped and blushed.
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said: "Steward Xu, Xiaotang is embarrassed to say, you can talk about it, which son does Xiaotang fancy?"
The steward Xu Fu smiled and said: "Qizuo Lin Shuai is Zhu Yun, the son of Zhu Tong, the servant of the Ministry of Households. The son of Zhu Yun is good at literary talent and martial arts, and he has written a good book from heaven. Yeah! Lord Zhu Yun is familiar with Miss Zhu because he often comes to the Chamber of Commerce to look for artifacts and martial arts, but I don’t know what Zhu Yun thinks, is he also enamoured with Miss Zhu?"
"Zhu Yun?" Lin Muyu groaned, "Why is this name so familiar?"
Chu Yao reminded: "He is a member of the Congress, and the person who supports it is Chief Executive Qin Xuan, Ayu, you have to be more cautious."
Lin Muyu was stunned.
Jin Xiaotang hurriedly said: "No need, Brother Ayu, Xiaotang's personal affairs can be solved by himself, Brother Ayu doesn't have to work for me. If you break your brother's affairs for Zhu Gongzi's affairs, then Xiaotang is simply sinful. Damn it!"
"No, one yard goes to one yard."
Lin Muyu waved her hand and said, "It's rare that Xiaotang has been fond of a man for so many years, and Xiaotang is not too young. After all, he won't be too good by himself. Let me talk about it, Chu Yao sister, if there is nothing serious about the Department of Ling Medicine. If you do, you will accompany me to the Minister's Mansion and go with me to see how this Zhu Yun is. If it is good, we will propose to Xiaotang, I believe there will be no problem."
"Yeah." Chu Yao readily agreed.
Jin Xiaotang was trembling with nervousness, and he couldn't speak.
Lin Muyu stood up, leaned on her fragrant shoulders, and asked with a smile: "My brother only asks you, do you like Zhu Yun?"
"Um..." she said like a gnat.
"Then there is no problem, I will go back, Xiaotang, wait for me."
"Oh… "
…
Outside the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Baiyin led dozens of gentian battalion cavalry are waiting, they are Lin Muyu's guards, everyone's strength is very good, and even the level of elite is not inferior to the imperial guard in Zetian Temple.
Lin Muyu turned on his horse and took Chu Yao and everyone straight to the minister's house.
Where the Hubu is located, when the row of mansions is prosperous, the Hubu is in charge of all the property of the empire, and it is not bad for money. The luxury of Shangshu and Shilang's mansion is not inferior to the level of Shenhou Mansion, and the vermilion mansion is in the building. In the middle of the group, when Lin Muyu and the others arrived, one of the four nursing homes outside the gate was stunned. One of them had seen Lin Muyu before and hurriedly kneeled: "It is King Qin who has come down..."
"I am not King Qin anymore."
"Then... I don't know if Lin Shuai is here..."
"I want to meet Master Zhu Tong."
"Oh, Lin Shuai, please enter the side hall later, the younger one will go to the adult."
"Well, thanks a lot."
"Lin Shuai is too polite, it's a shameless villain."
Soon after Lin Muyu, Chu Yao, Bai Yin and others entered the side hall, one of them came wearing court clothes. It was Zhu Tong, the servant of the household department. In fact, Lin Muyu could see the Zhu Tong every time at the court meeting, but it was not too deep. It’s just an impression. After all, there are three servants in the household department, and there are 18 servants in the six departments. They can recognize them all. On the contrary, Zhu Tong knows Lin Muyu clearly, and bows on one knee and salutes: "Subordinate Zhu Copper, see Lin Shuai!"
"Master Zhu Tong, please, you are welcome." Lin Muyu said straightforwardly: "I am here this time to see Linglang Zhu Yun. I don't know if he is in the house?"
Zhu Tong was startled: "Lin Shuai wants to see Inuzi, I don't know what's the matter?"
"Don't be nervous, just want to meet this talented imperial talent."
"Oh... The dog is at the house... Come here, go call Zhu Jun, and say Lin Shuai wants to see him!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, a young man wearing a white brocade robe with a long sword stepped into the living room. It was Zhu Yun.
Lin Muyu took a closer look, and she was really handsome and suave, with a faint aura between her brows, and she belonged to the kind of unruly temperament that was a hero and a young man with a sharp edge. Young people really should be like this.
Zhu Yun clasped his fists and saluted: "The villain Zhu Yun, see Lin Shuai!"
"Don't be polite, get up."
"Thank you Lin Shuai!"
"I heard that Zhu Yun, you are very familiar with the heavenly scriptures, don't know if it is true?"
Zhu Yun smiled slightly, raised his sword in his hand, and said, "Lin Shuai, please see, this sword was originally a top-grade artifact, and the villain has already carved it into a middle-grade book!"
As he said, the long sword was out of its sheath, and there was a faint golden light flowing on the sword, and it was indeed a local book.
Seeing Zhu Yun's self-satisfaction, Chu Yao couldn't help but laugh: "Master Zhu, please put away your weapons, you know, Lin Shuai is also a master of the heavenly book, he can already engrave the next-grade book!"
"what?"
Zhu Yun looked incredulous.
And Lin Muyu didn't have the interest to let him know, just smiled and asked: "Young Master Zhu Yun looks extraordinary, but he doesn't know how strong he is. Has he ever certified his strength level in the temple?"
"have."
Zhu Jun nodded and said: "The villain has just been certified in the temple three days ago, and he is the first heavenly cultivation base of the 62nd heaven realm."
As he said, Zhu Yun suddenly raised his palm, and suddenly a violent vindictive spirit filled it, and said, "Does Lin Shuai need any other proof?"
"No."
Lin Muyu smiled happily: "It's not easy to have this kind of cultivation at a young age, how old is Young Master Zhu Yun?"
"The villain is twenty-eight years old this year."
"Oh... it really is the time for youth and vigor." Lin Muyu laughed, thinking that he was actually thirty-five years old. Although his appearance was not old, his mentality was as quiet as a cold pool, and he would never be like Zhu Yun again. Such an edge was revealed, and I couldn't help feeling a little bit sorrowful in my heart. Time drove people to grow old, and I didn't know if it was a good thing.
Zhu Jun clasped his fists and smiled and said: "The villain knows that Lin Shuai is a strong man in the gods, and his strength is unfathomable. If he can get Lin Shuai's advice or two, it will be a blessing for the villain in his life!"
"Give me some advice?" Lin Muyu shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, I really don't know what can give you pointers. If you practice hard by yourself, you will become a great weapon in the future."
Zhu Yun was taken aback: "Why?"
Chu Yao was a little displeased, saying: "Ayu is a god king-level cultivation base, and you are only a small heavenly sovereign. Ayu doesn't know how to teach you at all. What he knows is impossible to understand based on your current cultivation base. ,understand?"
Zhu Yun was taken aback.
Zhu Tong hurriedly said: "That's it, thank you for your advice. Also, Lin Shuai will stay in the humble house tonight and host a banquet under the government. It is rare that Lin Shuai can come here and make me shine... "
"No, thank Master Zhu Tong for his kindness."
Lin Muyu looked directly at Zhu Yun and said, "I'm here today just for one thing. Young Master Zhu Yun should know Jin Xiaotang of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Yeah, I know."
"Although Jin Xiaotang is not related to me by blood, I have always treated her as my own sister. I wonder what Young Master Zhu Yun thinks of Xiaotang?"
"Miss Xiaotang is smart and virtuous, she is also the owner of Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce, and her suitors are in an endless stream. Naturally, she is the number one beauty in Lanyan City. I just don't know why Lin Shuai asks?"
Lin Muyu smiled broadly: "It's nothing, Xiaotang likes you, so I'll ask, if the son also likes Xiaotang, then it might as well establish a marriage. How about I come to propose marriage personally?"
Zhu Tong was overjoyed: "Really...really? A Jun, don't you hurry down on your knees to thank you, our Zhu's family is like a smoke from our ancestor's grave..."
Zhu Jun hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you... Thank you Lin Shuai for the marriage. The villain admires Miss Xiaotang very much. This... This is not a day or two."
"That's good, but there is one condition."
"Oh? What conditions."
"Zhu Yun, you must withdraw from the Congress, and you must not get involved with the people in the Congress, otherwise I can't entrust Xiaotang to you."
"Why?" Zhu Yun was stunned.
Lin Muyu said indifferently: "I don't want to see you in battle in the future. In that case, I would be ashamed of Xiaotang."
Zhu Tong hurriedly said: "Lin Shuai please rest assured, Dog Zi will submit a letter to withdraw from the guild tomorrow, please rest assured Lin Shuai!"
It’s Zhu Tong who knows current affairs. Although the Congress has a glorious moment, officials at his level know well. The future of the empire is still in charge of Qin Yin, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi. In hand, as for others, it is nothing more than a foil. No matter how beautiful the Congress is, it is destined to end one day.
