Because Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan took the seats representing the imperial merchants, some businessmen who were still waiting on the sidelines couldn't help it, and stood up one after another to move to the remaining six positions.
Soon, the five chairs on the east and west sides were filled with people. Some people were slow and did not get a seat. They all looked unwilling and looked at Shi Fuxin and the other two people. Their eyes revealed that they wanted them to sit.
The look of giving way.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she sneered and turned to look at the scenery outside the attic.
Hu Xinrui picked up the tea and drank it, ignoring the unwilling people.
Du Zixuan, as for Du Zixuan, choked out directly: "They are all big bosses. If you are slow, you have to admit defeat."
As soon as these words came out, they naturally attracted a lot of hostility.
Shi Fuxin was a little surprised by Du Zixuan's stubbornness, but thinking that Guanglicang produced grain, and grain was necessary at all times, she knew that Du Zixuan had the confidence.
But confidence is confidence, whether you dare to speak out in public is another matter.
Shi Fuxin still admired Du Zixuan very much. She turned to look at her with a smile and gave her a thumbs up.
Du Zixuan saw it, picked up the tea cup with a smile, and made a gesture of offering tea to Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin calmly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea with a smile.
What Shi Fuxin didn't expect was that Dongfang Changhong also smiled, picked up the teacup and saluted Du Zixuan, and looked at the businessmen who sat back down on the seats in the south with a vague sneer in their eyes.
.
The six ministers saw this scene and looked at each other. Then, the minister of household affairs went to the second floor of the attic, while the other five ministers began to chat with the people present.
At the same time, heated discussions broke out at Cathay Corridor and Minyin Corridor.
On this side of the Cathay Corridor, the most eye-catching men are the Prince Rong’s Mansion, Gongsun’s Family, Zhuangyuan’s Anjia, and Wuchang Bo’s Family.
There is no way, why did the first three families belong to Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, and Du Zixuan's husband's family, while the Shi family is Shi Fuxin's natal family.
Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan's parents are not in the capital, but they have escaped everyone's investigation.
In the absence of Chu Yao, Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao in Prince Rong's Mansion became the subjects of questioning by the royal family and relatives.
"Prince Prince, why can Shi Shi participate in this election for imperial businessmen?"
"We all know businessmen from all over the world. Shi suddenly appeared and went to the attic in the middle of the lake in a grand manner. Is it possible that she is the helmsman of one of the four families in Zhao'an, South China Sea?"
"Haixingxing, Dongchanghui, and Guanglicang have been operating for decades. At that time, I could only be the person in charge of Baicaotang."
"Yes, she is the disciple of the old man Tianchi. It is normal to grow medicinal materials."
"The three islands are all very large. Shi Shi alone may not be able to take over this industry. Is Prince Rong's Palace also involved?"
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao both looked bad. As brothers who have competed with Chu Yao for the attention of their elders since childhood, they did not want to lose to Chu Yao at all.
Ever since the two of them knew that they were infertile, they had been unwilling to accept the fact that the elders in the family had pinned their inheritance hopes on Chu Yao. Now that they discovered that Chu Yao married such a powerful wife, it made them even more incompetent. p>
Gongsun Ming and An Zhuangyuan were even questioned by everyone. They looked at each other, pushed away the crowd, and ran away.
The men of the Shi family shook their heads at every question, and the confusion and shock on their faces was no less than that of the others.
Shi Zhenghe and Shi Dinghao knew that Shi Fuxin would cause a sensation this time, so the two of them didn't show up in front of anyone at all, and no one could ask about them.
On the male guest side, there is another person who has received attention, and that is Fan Mingyu.
There was no way around it, but the dispute between Fan Mingyu and Shi Fuxin was widely spread at first.
A woman who dares to sit in the position of an imperial merchant, apart from being bold, must have some real ability. She will regret it if she misses such a powerful wife, right?
Although everyone was curious about Fan Mingyu's thoughts at the moment, when they saw Fan Mingyu looking straight at the attic in the middle of the lake, looking like he was in a state of ecstasy, and because he was the son of Princess Chengyang, no one dared to go up and ask him.
.
......
On the Minyin Corridor, the reaction of the female family members was no less than that of the men, and the discussion was even more intense.
Among them, the one who had the biggest reaction was none other than Zhuo Yi Mian.
The moment she saw Shi Fuxin, Du Zixuan, and Hu Xinrui walking onto the bridge corridor, her heart began to throb.
She had attended two chambers of commerce meetings held by the Ministry of Household Affairs with them. Although it was a bit awkward to sit among men, her heart was proud and at ease.
But now, she is just one of the many women in the prince's backyard. She has to stay low even to go out, let alone attend a meeting on behalf of a company.
Zhuo Yimian was thinking, if she had resisted the pressure from her family and continued to run the family business instead of agreeing to be the prince's concubine, would she be able to sit together with Shi Fuxin and the others again?<
/p>
Regret instantly filled Zhuo Yimian's heart. She wanted to blame her current situation on her family, but when she thought of Shi Fuxin's refusal to compromise when faced with the prince's persecution, she stood up and resisted.
You can't help but look directly at the cowardice in your heart.
Now she can only be a low-key concubine, which is the result of her own choice!
The Crown Princess glanced at Zhuo Yimian, who had a painful look on his face, and then at Shi Fuxin and the other three people in the attic in the center of the lake. She rarely made any sarcasm, and there was still a hint of sigh in her eyes.
Another person who fell into silent pain was Guan Xiuyan, who was standing behind Princess Guan. At this moment, she completely understood why Shi Fuxin didn't take her seriously at all.
There is no other reason, no need.
She actually knows that when she can only live dependent on others, she is actually worthless.
A worthless person is no different from a kitten or puppy. If you are happy, you can tease it. If you are not happy, just throw it aside.
She has always known this, but she can't get out of this predicament.

After leaving her aunt and her cousin, she couldn't even live a good life. Even if her cousin said he would find a good family for her, she would just move from one cage to another.
This is the fundamental difference between her and the Shi family. She can only survive by relying on the pity and protection of others, so even if she is despised and taken advantage of by others, she can only be her cousin's concubine.
As for the Shi family, she was confident, so even the prince dared to resist.
Both Zhuo Yimian and Guan Xiuyan suffered their inner pain silently, and no one paid much attention to them. However, Princess Qingyang and Princess Chengyang were very lively, and they received many strange looks.
"Princess Qingyang is really good at raising her son."
Some well-informed female family members still heard some rumors about Shi Fuxin and Gongsun Ming.
Princess Qingyang was not annoyed when she heard her harsh words. On the contrary, she was actually quite proud.
The fact that Shi and Hu were able to participate in the selection of royal merchants attended by the emperor in person shows that their abilities are not inferior to men at all, and are even stronger than men.
But they all fell in love with their sons.
Doesn’t this directly prove the excellence of my son!
Compared with Princess Qingyang's pride, Princess Chengyang's mood is not so beautiful.
Before this, she had looked down upon Shi Fuxin, and she was also opposed to her son's liking for Shi Fuxin.
But now that she saw that Shi Fuxin could be on equal footing with the best in the market, and might even be able to leave her name on the merit monument, her mood was indescribably complicated.
Especially when she thought that the Jin family had secretly taken refuge with the fourth prince, and that her son's life was not going well after he married the Jin family, she felt a little regretful.
On the other hand, Princess Rong and Princess Guan were surrounded by the female relatives. They were being questioned by everyone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still in a state of shock and astonishment. They seemed to be unable to resist. They responded with stiff smiles throughout the process.
