Text Chapter 942 Lin Shuai Proposes Marriage

The structure of the Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger. A row of shops occupies nearly 300 meters of Tongtian Street. It is divided into seven auction houses of different sizes. There are also dozens of rice shops and ironware shops. There is an endless stream of convoys coming and going to the chamber of commerce, not only selling high-end goods such as heavenly books, weapon embryos, and weapons, but also daily necessities such as brocade, cloth, and rice grains. The entire Ziyinhua chamber of commerce employs nearly 50,000 people. A Ziyinhua Merchant Association has operated 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. Jin Xiaotang, who was wearing a red dress, was no longer the girl she was before, but had grown into a graceful and beautiful woman. Jin Xiaotang was already twenty-six years old. Without cultivation, she matured like an ordinary woman, she lost a bit of girlish playfulness, but added a bit of charm that a woman should have.

Holding the ledger in his hand, Jin Xiaotang said with a smile: "Brother Ah Yu, look, this is the details of the expenditure and income of the chamber of commerce in the past year, but this is the general ledger, and there are more than a hundred detailed ledgers. If you check it I'll take you to see it."

"No need."

Lin Muyu took the account book and said with a smile, "Xiaotang, you can sit too."

"Um."

Jin Xiaotang smiled and sat down in the chair beside him, turned sideways and stretched his neck to watch Lin Muyu flip through the ledger.

"You have worked hard all these years, Xiaotang." Lin Muyu said while flipping through the pages: "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 with the military ration issue alone, thank you very much."

Jin Xiaotang's eyes turned red: "What did my brother say, you are the only family member I have, if you hadn't brought me out of the slums, Xiaotang still doesn't know what I would be like now, what I did for my brother is what I should do." Yes, besides, I'm just the shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce, and my brother is the owner of the chamber of commerce, so 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 Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce. You have been the owner of the Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce for a long time. This Chamber of Commerce should have belonged to you in the first place."

"Ah." Jin Xiaotang opened his mouth wide.

Chu Yao smiled from the side: "Okay, don't check the accounts as soon as we meet, let's talk about other things, Xiaotang is not young, is there any young master who is in love with you?"

Jin Xiaotang's face instantly turned red.

Lin Muyu smiled happily: "It seems that there must be, tell me, which one is it, I will help you find out, if they are willing, I will be your matchmaker."

"No, no." Jin Xiaotang stomped his feet, his face blushing.

Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said: "Housekeeper Xu, Xiaotang is embarrassed to say so, please tell me, which young master Xiaotang has taken a fancy to."

The housekeeper Xu Fu smiled and said: "Qizou Lin Shuai is Zhu Jun, the son of Zhu Tong, the servant of the household department. Mr. Zhu Jun is not only talented in literature and martial arts, but also writes a good book. It is said that he has written a middle-grade book not long ago. Well, Mr. Zhu Yun is familiar with the eldest lady because he often comes to the chamber of commerce to look for weapon embryos and martial arts, but I don't know what Mr. Zhu Yun thinks, whether he also falls in love with the eldest lady."

"Zhu Jun." Lin Muyu murmured, "Why is this name so familiar?"

Chu Yao reminded: "He is one of the members of the Congress, and the person who supports him is the chief minister, Qin Xuan. You should be more careful, Ayu."

Lin Muyu was stunned.

Jin Xiaotang hastily said: "No need, brother Ayu, Xiaotang's personal affairs can be settled by himself, so brother Ayu doesn't have to worry about me. If you spoil my brother's affairs because of Mr. Zhu's affairs, then Xiaotang will be guilty of it." Damn dead."

"No, one size fits all."

Lin Muyu waved his hand and said: "It's rare for Xiaotang to fall in love with a man for so many years, and Xiaotang is not too young. After all, it will not be very good to be alone. Let me talk about it. Sister Chu Yao, if there is nothing serious about the elixir department If so, you can accompany me to the Minister's Mansion, and go with me to see how this Zhu Yun is doing, if it's good, we will propose marriage to Xiaotang, I believe there will be no problem."

"Yes." Chu Yao readily agreed.

Jin Xiaotang was trembling with nervousness, hesitating and speechless.

Lin Muyu stood up, supported her fragrant shoulders, and asked with a smile: "My brother just asks you, do you like Zhu Jun?"

"Hmm..." Her voice was like a gnat.

"Then there's no problem, I'll come back as soon as I go, Xiaotang, wait for me."

"oh……"

...

Outside the gate of the chamber of commerce, Bai Yin led dozens of Gendan Battalion iron cavalry to wait. They were Lin Muyu's bodyguards, and each of them was very strong, even as elite as the imperial guards in Zetian Palace.

Lin Muyu got on the horse and led Chu Yao and the others straight to the servant's mansion.

Where the Household Department is located, when a row of mansions are prosperous, the Household Department is in charge of all the property of the empire, so naturally there is no shortage of money. The mansions of the Shangshu and the Minister are not inferior to the level of the Shenhou Mansion, and Zhu Tong's mansion is in the construction In the middle of the group, when Lin Muyu and others arrived, the four guards outside the gate were all stunned. One of them had seen Lin Muyu before and hurriedly knelt down: "It's Qin Wang who is here..."

"I am no longer King Qin."

"Then... I don't know why Shuai Lin is here..."

"I want to see Master Zhu Tong."

"Oh, Lin Shuai, please enter the side hall later, the younger one will report to the adults."

"Well, thank you."

"Shuai Lin is too polite, it's a villain."

Not long after Lin Muyu, Chu Yao, Bai Yin and others entered the side hall, a person came wearing court clothes. It was Zhu Tong, the servant of the household department. In fact, Lin Muyu could see Zhu Tong every time during the court meeting, but it was not too deep. It's just an impression. After all, there is one minister and three servants in the household department, and a total of eighteen servants in the six departments. It's impossible to recognize each of them. On the contrary, Zhu Tong knew Lin Muyu very well. He knelt on one knee and saluted: "My subordinate Zhu Copper, see Lin Shuai."

"Your Majesty Zhu Tong, you are welcome." Lin Muyu cut to the chase and said, "I am here this time to meet your son Zhu Jun. I don't know if he is at the residence."

Zhu Tong was stunned: "Shuai Lin wants to see the dog, I don't know why."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to meet this talented imperial talent."

"Oh... Gouzi is at the house... Somebody, call Zhu Jun, and tell him that Shuai Lin wants to see him."

"yes."

Not long after, a young man wearing a white brocade robe and wearing a long sword stepped into the living room. It was Zhu Jun.

Lin Muyu took a closer look, and he was indeed handsome and suave, with an extraordinary appearance, with a faint aura between his brows, and it belonged to the kind of unruly temperament of a hero from a young age, showing his sharpness, young people, this is indeed what they should look like.

Zhu Jun cupped his fists and saluted: "Little Zhu Jun, meet Lin Shuai."

"Don't be too polite, get up."

"Thank you Lin Shuai."

"I heard that Zhu Jun is well versed in heavenly scriptures, but I don't know if it's true."

Zhu Yun smiled slightly, raised the sword in his hand horizontally, and said: "Commander Lin, please look, this sword was originally a high-grade weapon embryo, and the villain has already carved it into a middle-grade book."

As he said that, the long sword was drawn out of its sheath, and there was a faint golden light flowing on the blade. It really was a book.

Seeing Zhu Yun's self-satisfied look, Chu Yao couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Zhu, please put away your weapons. You must know that Lin Shuai is also a master of heavenly scriptures, and he can already write low-grade divine scriptures."

"ah."

Zhu Jun looked in disbelief.

And Lin Muyu was not interested in letting him see it, but just asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhu Yun is very handsome, but I don't know what his strength is. Has he been certified in the temple for his strength level?"

"have."

Zhu Yun nodded and said: "The villain just certified in the temple three days ago, the first level of cultivation in the 62nd level of the heavenly realm."

As he said that, Zhu Jun suddenly raised his palm, and immediately filled with a sense of vindictiveness, he said, "Does Commander Lin need any other proofs?"

"No."

Lin Muyu smiled happily: "It's not easy to have such a cultivation level at such a young age, how old is Mr. Zhu Yun?"

"The villain is twenty-eight years old this year."

"Oh...it really is time to be young and vigorous." Lin Muyu laughed, thinking that she was actually thirty-five years old. Jun's sharpness has been revealed, and he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart. Time makes people old, and I don't know if it is a good thing.

Zhu Jun clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I know that Lin Shuai is a strong man in the divine realm, and his strength is unfathomable. If I can get Lin Shuai's advice, it will be the luck of my life."

"One or two pointers." Lin Muyu shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, I really don't know what I can teach you. If you practice hard, you will become a master in the future."

Zhu Jun was taken aback: "Why?"

Chu Yao was a little displeased, and said: "Ah Yu is a god-king-level cultivation base, and you are just a mere celestial being. Ah Yu doesn't know how to teach you at all. What he understands is impossible to understand with your current cultivation base. ,understand."

Zhu Jun was stunned.

Zhu Tong hurriedly said: "So that's the case. Thank you, Chief Deacon Chu Yao, for your guidance. Also, Lin Shuai will stay in the humble house tonight. The next official will host a banquet. It's rare that Lin Shuai can come and make me shine... ..."

"No need, thank you Lord Zhu Tong for your kindness."

Lin Muyu looked directly at Zhu Jun, and said, "I'm actually here today for one thing. Mr. Zhu Jun should know Jin Xiaotang from Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce."

"Well, I know."

"Although Jin Xiaotang is not related to me by blood, I always treat her like my own sister. I don't know how Mr. Zhu Jun thinks of Xiaotang."

"Miss Xiaotang is smart and virtuous. She is also the owner of the Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce. There are many suitors. Naturally, she is the number one beauty in Lanyan City. I just don't know why Lin Shuai asked such a question."

Lin Muyu smiled brightly: "It's nothing, Xiaotang likes you, so I'm here to ask, if the young master also likes Xiaotang, then it might as well make a marriage, I will propose marriage in person, how about it."

Zhu Tong was overjoyed: "Really...really, Ah Jun, hurry up and kneel down to thank you, our Zhu family is like smoke rising from the ancestral grave..."

Zhu Jun hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you... Thank you Shuai Lin for the marriage. The villain admires Miss Xiaotang very much. This... This is not a matter of a day or two."

"That's good, but on one condition."

"Oh, what conditions."

"Zhu Jun, you must withdraw from the Congress and not mix with people in the Congress, otherwise I cannot entrust Xiaotang to you."

"Why?" Zhu Jun was stunned.

Lin Muyu said lightly: "I don't want to meet you in battle in the future. If that happens, I will feel ashamed of Xiaotang."

Zhu Tong hurriedly said: "Shuai Lin, please don't worry, Quanzi will submit the letter of quitting the guild tomorrow, please don't worry, Shuai Lin."

It is Zhu Tong, the servant of the household department, who understands current affairs. Although the National Assembly is prosperous for a while, officials at his level still know that the future of the empire is still in the hands of Qin Yin, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi. In his hands, as for others, it is just a foil. No matter how beautiful the Congress is, it is destined to end one day.
