Chapter 181 Princess Yunyi! Dawu Renaissance Chamber of Commerce

……

The Zhongzhou region of the Great Wu Kingdom.

As the royal family of the Great Wu Kingdom, the Wu family is itself the most powerful family in the Great Wu Kingdom, with extremely profound heritage. The Central Plains region where they are located is naturally the region with the greatest influence of the royal family.

In Central China, there are numerous properties owned by the royal family, but not many of them are well-known.

[Cangshan Villa] is one of them.

This Cangshan Villa is located on a high-grade spiritual vein full of vitality and spiritual energy. It covers a large area and has a unique decoration layout.
But this is not surprising.

The reason why Cangshan Villa is famous is not because of its scenery or its spiritual energy, but because it is the headquarters of Dawu Royal Manor.

The core of the courtyard.

The huge study was very quiet, with the rustling of pages turning heard from time to time.

In the corner, incense with the effect of refreshing the mind spewed out from the beaks of two crane-shaped copper stoves, and two wisps of smoke rose up.

Behind the huge desk, Princess Yunyi was working.

Because it was not a formal occasion, she did not wear complicated royal dress, but only a simple casual dress that was convenient for movement, looking quite capable.

She lowered her head slightly, revealing a small section of her fair, delicate, slender neck like a swan's.

The light slanted in from the window lattice on her side, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, which made her look even more gentle, graceful, dignified and elegant, like a carefully painted painting.

"Meet Her Highness Yun Yi."

A middle-aged man dressed as an elegant scholar entered the study room under the guidance of an old man. He bowed respectfully and handed over the document.

"After investigation, it was found that a loan of 300,000 spiritual stones from the Cao family in Xihai has expired."

"Due to the serious infestation of sea beasts in Xihai County in recent years and the increasingly rampant sabotage activities of the Blood Soul Cult, the business of the Xihai Cao family has been greatly affected and has not achieved the expected returns. We implore our Great Wu Royal Manor to postpone the repayment period and reduce some of the interest. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Wu Yunyi did not answer immediately, but leaned back on the chair with her graceful figure, staring at the middle-aged scholar. She opened her mouth slightly, as if thinking, and asked casually: "Is the Xihai Cao family a family conferred by our royal family?"

The middle-aged scholar was slightly stunned, then slowly shook his head: "No, the Xihai Cao family has only been rising for more than 600 years, and is a family from the Yunyang Sect."

"Has the Cao family of West Sea ever paid tribute to the royal family of Great Wu?" Princess Yunyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as if she was smiling.

“No!” The middle-aged scholar shook his head, “The Cao family of Xihai paid tribute to the Yunyang Sect.”

"Our Dawu Royal Manor is nothing more than a profit-making lending institution. Who will subsidize us if we lose money?" Princess Yunyi said in a light tone, "Since we have signed the contract, everything will be done according to the contract. If you cannot repay the loan on time, all the collateral will be recovered, and those that should be stored will be stored, and those that should be auctioned will be auctioned, and the loan will be fully settled."

The middle-aged scholar nodded and stood up immediately: "I understand, I will do it right away."

Having said that, he respectfully left the study.

Not long.

Another slightly younger scribe came to report.

After handing over a stack of documents, he reported briefly: "Your Highness, the Li family of Danyang County wants to build a large overseas spiritual medicine garden. Due to a lack of funds, they want to borrow 500,000 spiritual stones from our Dawu Royal Manor. Here is a detailed plan, repayment plan, and contract documents for various collaterals."

Princess Yun Yi quickly flipped through the documents, then raised her head slightly and asked the old man dressed as a butler, "I heard that Senior Dan Wang seems to have made a breakthrough in alchemy?"

The old man bowed his head slightly and answered softly, "That's right. The Pill King has been studying alchemy diligently in recent years and has finally made a breakthrough. It is said that the success rate of the several fifth-grade pills he is good at has greatly improved. His current success rate is competitive even in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and he can barely stand on his own."

"In addition, the Pill King has also gained some insights in the refining of the sixth-grade pill. The last two batches of the sixth-grade pill have both achieved the goal of breaking even."

Princess Yunyi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then said to the younger scholar with a pleasant face: "Spiritual herbs grow slowly and have a long cultivation cycle. Building a large spiritual herb garden consumes a lot of money. 500,000 spiritual stones in the loan area are too few. In order to prevent the Li family from being short of funds, I will grant them 800,000 spiritual stones, and give them a preferential treatment in terms of interest."

As she spoke, she picked up the red brush and wrote a reply in a flamboyant manner. She then took the imperial seal and stamped it on the document. Then she instructed the scholar, "Yuanding, this matter is now in your hands. Don't let me down."

Hearing this, the young scholar named Yuan Ding suddenly became excited and stood up and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

Having said that, he took the written order and left the study room, suppressing his excitement.

Wait until he leaves.

The dignified, elegant, calm and indifferent spirit of Wu Yunyi suddenly dissipated a lot, and she became a little casual and relaxed.

She took two sips of the teacup and relaxed for a moment. She then looked at the old man again and said, "Old Wen, I remember there is a sixth-grade blood coral in the treasure house. Go get it later and personally give it to Senior Dan Wang to wish him a happy 386th birthday."

"Yes, Your Highness." The old man bowed slightly and accepted the order.

After dealing with this matter.

Princess Yunyi was a little more relaxed, but before half an hour had passed, another subordinate came to report: "Your Highness, the Hedong Lu family intends to apply for a loan of 200,000 spirit stones from our Dawu Royal Manor. Originally, our Royal Manor does not do foundation-building family business, but firstly, the loan amount is not low, and secondly, the Lu family submitted the application in the name of Fairy Qingxuan, so it is not good to reject it directly. Please make the decision, Your Highness."

Princess Yunyi flipped through the application documents she had submitted, her brows slightly furrowed. "Fairy Qingxuan? Who?"

She searched through all the fairies in her mind, but couldn't think of the character called "Fairy Qingxuan".

The subordinate quickly replied: "This Qingxuan Fairy is named [Lu Qingxuan]. Lu mentioned in the application that Lu Qingxuan is your friend. If what they said is a lie, I will reject the application and reprimand them."

“Wait, this name has some...impression to me.” Princess Yun Yi raised her hand to stop him, frowning and thinking hard.

The old man at the side reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, I remember that Lu Qingxuan should be the...direct disciple...and what--" of the owner of Shuiyue Tower of Yunyang Sect.

"Oh~" Princess Yunyi seemed to remember something all of a sudden, "So it was her. We did meet once. For the sake of Shuiyue Tower Master, I even gave her a communication talisman~"

As she spoke, she flipped through the application documents more seriously, asked a few questions casually, and after getting the answers, she said, "This project is okay. The Hedong Lu family was able to snatch such a large market order from Yu Nu, which shows that they have some skills, and the project has some prospects. By the way, can the collateral be put in place?"

"If Your Highness agrees to this project, I will go to Hedong County in person to confirm the collateral one by one, and then I will issue the loan." The subordinate's face was serious and earnest.

"Then there's no problem." Princess Yun Yi took out the imperial seal and stamped it, agreeing to the application.

She has to deal with a lot of similar applications every day. The procedures are fixed and the standards are basically fixed, so the processing is naturally very quick.

After stamping the document, Princess Yunyi picked up the teacup and took two sips. She was about to eat a few snacks to fill her stomach when she suddenly paused and looked out the window indifferently.

Outside the study, a young boy in luxurious clothes was leaning against the window frame, looking around as if he was spying inside.

Princess Yunyi was not surprised. She withdrew her gaze and motioned for the subordinate to leave. The subordinate respectfully withdrew from the study room and saluted to the elegant young man, saying, "Greetings to the great-great-grandson of the emperor."

"No need to be polite, just get busy."

The great-great-grandson Wu Yongliang waved at him, and after everyone left, he pushed open the study door, walked in timidly, and gave Princess Yunyi a very flattering smile: "Auntie, are you done?"

Princess Yun Yi ignored him, finished her snack in two bites, and continued to pick up the document to read it carefully, with an expression of "I'm very busy, stay away from me".

"Aunt, you've been busy from morning till night for the royal family. It's really too hard." Wu Yongliang approached her with a playful smile, pretending to massage her shoulders. "Come on, let me massage your shoulders to relieve your fatigue."

"Pah!" Princess Yun Yi slapped his claws away with a written document and said unhappily, "You haven't been beaten for a while, so you're itching for a fight? Tell me, what tricks do you have this time?"

"How could it be!" Wu Yongliang complained with a wronged look on his face, as if he had been wronged. "I just felt sorry for my aunt, so I came to visit you."

As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his storage bag. After opening it, there was a round bead the size of a pigeon egg inside.

The beads are pale in color, exuding a hint of coldness.

He said as if offering a treasure: "Auntie, this is a fourth-grade [Ice Spirit Pearl] produced in the North Sea. Throw it into the spiritual honey water and soak it in it. It will have a beautifying and nourishing effect. It can make your skin more crystal clear, like ice and jade, and take your temperament to a higher level."

"That's it?" Princess Yun Yi only glanced at the Ice Spirit Pearl and then looked away, squinting at Wu Yongliang, "Wu Yongliang, you've changed. You don't even try to please me anymore."

She is of such a high status that if she wants, she can easily get not only a fourth-grade Ice Spirit Pearl, but even a fifth-grade or sixth-grade one!
Is it this filial piety that she values?

What she values ​​is the intention of those who show filial piety.

She was well aware of Wu Yongliang's wealth. Compared with the other things he had used to present to her as a gift, this fourth-grade Ice Spirit Pearl was far inferior.

"Aunt..." Wu Yongliang said with a dim look in his eyes, "I finally earned some spirit stones with my own ability, but I was reluctant to spend a single one of them. I used them all to buy this Ice Spirit Pearl. Since you don't like it, I might as well smash it!"

As he said this, he angrily pretended to smash the Ice Spirit Pearl.

"Shh!"

The next moment, this fourth-grade Ice Spirit Pearl and the jade box were in the hands of Princess Yun Yi.

She stared at Wu Yongliang, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise: "You earned these spirit stones yourself, where did you get them from?"

Although she herself looked down upon this fourth-grade Ice Spirit Pearl, it was bought with the first spiritual stone that her nephew earned himself, so naturally it had a different meaning.

Especially since this nephew has always been unruly, she originally thought that he would have to rely on the royal family for support for the rest of his life.

"Isn't this what I was going to report to you~"

The grief and anger on Wu Yongliang's face disappeared, and he immediately came up to Princess Yunyi, lowered his voice and looked mysterious.

"Do you still remember the 'Romance Sword Fairy and Pretty Master' that my brother and I created together? Apart from a small share of the profits, most of the profits went into the establishment of the [Dawu Fuxing Trading Company] with my brother. The trading company is about to hold its first founders' meeting..."

“Wait!” Princess Yun Yi raised her eyebrows and interrupted directly, “You said that this Ice Spirit Pearl of mine was exchanged for your pornographic books?” She threw the jade box on the desk with a look of disgust.

Pornographic book?
Wu Yongliang was not happy when he heard this, and refuted righteously: "That is the popular culture of the new era. When I showed the book to my ancestor, he praised the author for his good writing! Now, it is still one of the main businesses of our Dawu Fuxing Commercial Bank!"

"Haha, you are not allowed to go." Princess Yunyi sneered, "Wu Yongliang, no matter what you say, you have to stay in the imperial manor."

"boom!"

Wu Yongliang slammed the desk hard and said angrily, "Wu Yunyi, didn't you always say that I was idle and not doing my work? Well, I'm doing my work now, but you keep obstructing me."

"Okay, just lock me up in a small dark room that never sees the light of day, and you will inherit the throne of the Crown Prince in the future! Yes, yes, then you should be called the Crown Princess! Your Highness, are you satisfied now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the study fell silent.

Even Old Man Wen quickly lowered his head and silently took two steps back.

Wu Yunyi took a sip of tea with a normal expression.

Ten or so breaths later, the great-great-grandson Wu Yongliang was tied up like a dumpling and hung upside down on the beam of the house.

His face turned red due to the blood flowing backwards, and he could only look at his aunt pacing back and forth from a distorted perspective.

She was holding a black iron ruler in her hand, and she gently patted the emperor's great-grandson's face, saying in an especially gentle tone, "Wu Yongliang, say what you just said again."

Wu Yongliang admitted his mistake in a very bachelor way: "Aunt, I was wrong. I shouldn't have let you down. From now on, I will listen to whatever you say."

Although he appeared submissive on the surface, he was not convinced in his heart.

Looking at his aunt's gentle, elegant, yet particularly deceptive face, he couldn't help but snort inwardly.

Wu Yunyi, Wu Yunyi, when my brother grows up, I will cooperate with him to take you down sooner or later. Then I will see if you still dare to bully me! Humiliate me!

At this time.

Elder Wen also stepped forward and said to Princess Yunyi, "Your Highness Yunyi, although His Highness the Great-great-grandson is naughty, some of his words may make sense. If this man wants to grow up, he has to go out and gain some experience."

"Old Wen, I know this truth." Princess Yunyi sighed and glared at Wu Yongliang unhappily, "But you also know how unreasonable this bastard is and how naive his mind is. If you really leave him alone and let him do whatever he wants, he might get cheated and lose everything."

"That can't be helped. People have to suffer a lot before they grow up. Alas~~" Elder Wen sighed helplessly, "Otherwise, you can let him go out for a walk, and I'll keep an eye on him from behind. Nothing serious will happen."

In fact, there is one more thing that Mr. Wen did not point out.

If Your Highness continues to control the Emperor's great-grandson in this way, perhaps some people will really think that you have ulterior motives and are ambitious to compete for the position of Crown Princess. By then, there will inevitably be some people with ulterior motives who will use this matter to make a fuss and throw dirty water on you!

Princess Yunyi frowned and thought for a moment before she reluctantly said, "Okay, let him go out this time."

Wu Yongliang, who was hung upside down, was overjoyed: "Aunt, you agree!? Okay, okay, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."

"Haha, by the way, it is said that your brother is the eldest descendant of the Hedong Chen family. I think his name is [Chen Xiuyang], right? The one who was born with four spiritual roots, including the wind spiritual root?" Princess Yunyi narrowed her eyes slightly, "His spiritual roots are just so-so, barely qualified to be your brother."

"That's right, my brother is a very good person, very reliable." Wu Yongliang praised him confidently, "Besides, I never look at spiritual roots when making friends."

"Okay, I'll go with you this time. I also happen to have some official business to handle in Hedong County." Princess Yun Yi said calmly and put Wu Yongliang down by the way.

"What?"

Wu Yongliang rolled around on the ground in a mess for two rounds, but he didn't bother to clean himself up. He just raised his neck and looked at Princess Yunyi in shock: "What? Aunt, you are going to Hedong County to do business too? You are not lying to me, are you?"

"Lie to you? What do you have that's worthy of me lying?" Princess Yunyi knocked on his forehead and said disdainfully, "Dawu Fuxing Chamber of Commerce? It's a very grand name, I want to see what tricks you can come up with."

"Okay, if we can really come up with something new, remember to invest in us, aunt." Wu Yongliang was also full of confidence.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
Same time period.

Qingyu Cliff, the guest house of Chen’s main residence, and the Immortal Guest Residence.

Tantai Yingsong sat in the chair with a blank stare, watching Huangfu Jiayu calmly wash and dress herself with the help of Yu Nu, with a relaxed posture as if she was at home.

If you don't know, you might think he has been here many times.

What's going on with this guy?

Tan Tai Yingsong couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.

This time he was clearly ordered to entertain Huangfu Jiayu and take him around, but he didn't expect that while strolling around they would end up at the Chen family's main residence.

My dear brother, Chen Jingyun is just being polite to you. Mr. Huangfu is a guest coming from afar, so why don’t you stay at my house for a few days?
Shouldn't you politely decline at a time like this? Why did you just agree so readily?

He was really worried about his brother's innocence.

However, after moving into the guest house of the Chen family's main residence, Tan Tai Yingsong finally understood why there had been endless rumors about the Chen family's rise over the years, each one more exaggerated than the last.

Especially the Five Elements Tower that was connected by five elements. Although it was just an incomplete version with a lowered standard, it was already amazing enough.

At least, Tan Tai couldn't afford this thing at all.

"Brother Huangfu, are you still going to see Chen Shiwen today? She said that she is busy practicing and has no time to entertain you."

After being in a daze for a long time, Tan Tai Yingsong finally collected his idle thoughts and looked at his brother, who was dressed very handsomely, like a male peacock with its tail spread out, with a bit of tiredness.

"This is just the modesty of a girl." Huangfu Jiayu was full of confidence. "As the saying goes, 'Sincerity can move metal and stone'. As long as I show enough sincerity, Sister Shiwen will definitely be willing to be friends with me."

"..."

Tan Tai Yingsong was speechless and didn't know where to start complaining.

"Excuse me, is Brother Huangfu here?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

"I am Chen Xiuyang, and I am here to entertain Brother Huangfu and Brother Tantai on the orders of the Patriarch."

In fact, the family saw that Chen Xiuyang had nothing to do, so they assigned him a relatively simple task that would allow him to build connections.

Chen Xiuyang?
Tan Tai Yingsong and Huangfu Jiayu looked at each other and quickly remembered who Chen Xiuyang was.

They have heard this name many times these days, and naturally know that he is a talented cultivator with mutated wind spiritual roots from the direct lineage of the Chen family, and a future pillar of the Chen family.

According to convention, when they stay at the Chen family's house, the Chen family will definitely send clansmen to accompany and entertain them, so as to show that the Chen family values ​​them.

Chen Xiuyang is not only from a legitimate family, but also highly qualified. The Chen family sent Chen Xiuyang to entertain us, which was a sign of their sincerity.

At that moment, the two men invited Chen Xiuyang into the yard, and both parties sat down in the pavilion as host and guest.

After a few pleasantries, Chen Xiuyang stared at Huangfu Jiayu and asked with some interest, "I heard that Brother Jiayu has the Ice Spiritual Root?"

Huangfu Jiayu smiled and nodded in response: "Yes, I also heard that Brother Xiuyang has a wind-like mutant spiritual root."

Afterwards, a look of mutual admiration appeared in the eyes of both of them.

Tan Tai Yingsong on the side looked embarrassed.

For some reason, he felt that there seemed to be an aura between the two people that no one else could interfere with, and he seemed a little redundant standing there.

Could it be that I am... excluded from the circle?
While I was thinking about it, Chen Xiuyang and Huangfu Jiayu had already started chatting.

Chen Xiuyang said directly: "Brother, I see that you have outstanding spiritual roots and are very suitable for my eyes. Our [Dawu Fuxing Trading Company] currently has a vacancy for the position of co-founder, and we are in need of talents like you."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of contracts and handed them to Huangfu Jiayu: "Take a look at the contract. If there is no problem, sign it. After signing, we will be true brothers who have shared life and death together!"

"What's the matter?"

Tan Tai Yingsong stood up suddenly.

How can you ask people to sign a contract right away? This is too ridiculous!

But what he never expected was that Huangfu Jiayu picked up the contract very seriously, without even glancing at it, and said seriously: "If I sign it, can you help me make an appointment with Miss Shiwen?"

"No problem." Chen Xiuyang patted his chest and promised, "Not only can I help you make a date with my Aunt Shiwen, I can also help you pursue her."

"Okay, okay, I'll sign it!"

Huangfu Jiayu was suddenly excited. He immediately opened the contract and signed his name in the signature area.

Tan Tai Yingsong was completely dumbfounded.

Wait, no, brother, don’t sign anything rashly!
Fuck, it’s over, he’s signed them all!
It's too late to stop it!
