Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 390, Reactions

  Because Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan took the seats representing the imperial merchants, some merchants who were still on the sidelines couldn't bear it anymore, and got up and walked to the remaining six seats.

Soon, the five chairs on both sides of the east and west were full of people. Some people were slow and didn't get a seat. The look of giving way.

  When Fuxin saw it, she sneered, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the attic.

  Hu Xinrui picked up the tea and drank it, ignoring those unwilling people.

  As for Du Zixuan, she choked directly: "They are all big and big people. If I am slow, I have to admit defeat."

  As soon as these words came out, it naturally attracted a lot of hostility.

  Shi Fuxin was a little surprised at Du Zixuan's rigidity, but thinking that Guangli Cang produces grain, and grain is a necessity at all times, she knows Du Zixuan has confidence.

   But confidence is confidence, and it is another matter to dare to speak out in public.

  Shi Fuxin still admired Du Zixuan, smiled and turned to look at her, giving her a thumbs up.

  Seeing Du Zixuan, she picked up the teacup with a smile, and offered tea to Shi Fuxin.

  Shi Fuxin calmly picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea with a smile.

What Shi Fuxin didn't expect was that Dongfang Changhong also smiled and raised his teacup to pay respects to Du Zixuan, and looked at the businessmen who had returned to the southern seats with a vague sneer in their eyes .

  The six major ministers saw this scene in their eyes and looked at each other. The minister of Hubu went to the second floor of the attic, while the other five ministers began to exchange greetings with the people present.

   At the same time, fierce discussions erupted in the Cathay Pacific Corridor and the Minyin Corridor.

On the Cathay Pacific Corridor, the men present at the Rongguo Mansion, Gongsun’s Family, Zhuangyuan’s Mansion An’s Family, and Wuchang Bo’s Mansion’s Shi Family are the most eye-catching. No way, the top three are Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan. Her husband's family, and Shi's family is Shi Fuxin's natal family.

  Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan's family members were not in the capital, but they escaped everyone's investigation.

  With Chu Yao absent, Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion became the object of questioning by the emperor's relatives.

   "Young Prince, why did Shi Shi participate in this imperial business election?"

   "We all know the merchants from all over the place. The Shi family suddenly appeared and went to the attic in the middle of the lake in a grand manner. Could it be that she is the helmsman of one of the four families in Zhao'an in the South China Sea?"

   "Haixinghang, Dongchanghui, and Guangli Cang have all been in business for decades. At that time, Shi could only be the person in charge of Baicaotang."

   "That's right, she is the apprentice of the old man Tianchi, so it's normal to grow medicinal herbs."

   "The area of ​​the three islands is still very large. The Shi family alone may not be able to eat this property. Did Prince Rong's Mansion participate in it?"

   Facing everyone's questioning, Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao's faces were very bad. As the elder brothers who had competed with Chu Yao for the attention of the elders since they were young, they did not want to lose to Chu Yao at all.

  Since the two of them knew that they had lost their fertility, they had been unwilling to accept that the elders in the house had placed their hope of succession on Chu Yao. Now that they found out that Chu Yao married such a capable wife, it made them even more incompetent.

   Gongsun Ming and An Zhuangyuan were even more questioned by the crowd. They looked at each other, squeezed away the crowd, and ran away in a hurry.

  The man from the Shi family shook his head and didn't know when he asked the question. The bewilderment and shock on their faces were no less than that of the others.

  Shi Zhenghe and Shi Dinghao knew that Shi Fuxin would cause a stir this time, so they didn't show up in front of people at all, and everyone couldn't ask them in front of them.

  On the male side, there was another person who received attention, and that was Fan Mingyu.

   There is no other way, the entanglement between Fan Mingyu and Shi Fuxin was widely circulated at the beginning.

  A woman who dares to sit in the position of the Imperial Merchant, apart from her audacity, must have some real skills. If she misses out with such a capable wife, she will regret it to some extent, right?

Although everyone was very curious about Fan Mingyu's thoughts at the moment, but seeing Fan Mingyu staring straight at the attic in the middle of the lake with a supernatural appearance, and adding that he was the son of Princess Chengyang, no one dared to ask him up.

   On the side of the Minyin Corridor, the reaction of the female relatives was not inferior to that of the men, and the discussion was even more intense.

   Among them, Zhuo Yimian had the biggest reaction.

  When she saw Shi Fuxin, Du Zixuan, and Hu Xinrui walking on the bridge corridor, her heart began to throb.

  She had participated in two chambers of commerce with them. Although she was sitting among men, her heart was proud and joyful.

   But now, she is just one of the many women in the prince's backyard, and she has to stay low even when she goes out, let alone attend a meeting on behalf of a company.

  Zhuo Yimian was thinking, if she had resisted the pressure exerted by her family and had not agreed to be a concubine to the prince, but continued to run the family business, would she be able to sit with them again?

Regret filled Zhuo Yimian's heart in an instant. She really wanted to blame her current situation on the family, but when she thought that when Shi Fuxin faced the prince's persecution, she still did not compromise, but stood up to resist. It is impossible not to look directly at the cowardice in your heart.

  Now she can only be a concubine who is underserved and lowly, and it is all the result of her own choice!

  The Crown Princess glanced at Zhuo Yimian, who was looking miserable, and then at Shi Fuxin and the other three in the attic in the middle of the lake. It was rare that she didn't speak sarcasm, and there was still a trace of sigh in her eyes.

   Another person who fell into silent pain was Guan Xiuyan standing behind Princess Guan. At this moment, she completely understood why Shi Fuxin didn't take herself seriously.

  There is no other reason, no need.

  She actually knows that when she can only live by relying on others, she is actually worthless.

  A worthless person is no different from a kitten or a dog. If you are happy, you can tease it, and if you are unhappy, you can leave it aside.

  She knew this all along, but she couldn't get out of it.

  Leaving her aunt and cousin, she couldn't even live a good life. Even if her cousin said he would find her a good family, she was just changing from one cage to another.

   This is the fundamental difference between her and the Shi family. She can only survive on the pity and protection of others, so even if she is despised or used by others, she can only be a concubine for her cousin.

  As for Shi Shi, she has the confidence, so even the prince dared to resist.

  Zhuo Yimian and Guan Xiuyan both silently endured the pain in their hearts, and no one paid attention to them, but Princess Qingyang and Princess Chengyang were very lively, and they received many strange looks.

   "Princess Qingyang really knows how to raise her son."

  Shi Fuxin and Gongsun Ming, some well-informed female relatives still heard some rumors.

  Princess Qingyang was not annoyed when she heard her sour words, on the contrary, she was quite proud in her heart.

  Shi and Hu's ability to participate in the selection of imperial merchants attended by the emperor in person, it can be seen that their ability is not inferior to that of men, and even stronger than men.

  But they all fell in love with their son.

   Isn't this a direct proof of his son's excellence!

  Compared to Princess Qingyang's pride, Princess Chengyang's mood is not so beautiful.

  Before this, she didn't like Shi Fuxin, and she also opposed her son's liking for Shi Fuxin.

  But now seeing that Shi Fuxin is able to sit on an equal footing with the best in the mall, and maybe even leave her name on the monument of merit, her mood is indescribably complicated.

  Especially when she thought that the Jin family had secretly taken refuge with the fourth prince, and her son's life after getting married to the Jin family was not going well, she felt a little regretful.

On the side of Old Concubine Rong and Concubine Guan, they were surrounded by female relatives. You asked me one sentence at a time. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still in shock and astonishment, and they seemed to be overwhelmed. They responded to everyone with stiff smiles the whole time. .
