Chapter 860 It can happen to you

It was also Fang Tianyi's first time to enter the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. She was amazed at the luxurious carved building in front of her.

"As expected of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce! This is simply too luxurious!"

"All merchants in Diyue Country pay money to the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce every year, so it is completely normal for this place to be so grand." Feng Hao said calmly.

He had been here when he was a child, so he wouldn't be too surprised when he came here again now.

Although Gu Chan was also surprised, she was far from being shocked. After all, although this place was luxurious, it was far inferior to the lord's mansion she owned when she was a lord in Jiangnan. She just felt that the architectural style of this entire chamber of commerce was indeed different from those chambers of commerce in Tiancang Country.

Feng Hao said, "Okay, don't be surprised. Let's go in and take a look! I'll show you how merchants from Diyue Country negotiate business through the matchmaking of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh! The role of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is to act as a matchmaker, is that what you mean?" Gu Chan asked.

"It's not just that. For many merchants, if they want to expand their business but are short of money, they can come here to discuss with the Chamber of Commerce. If it is feasible, the Chamber of Commerce can also lend them money." Feng Hao explained.

Gu Chan nodded in relief, thinking, isn't this similar to those modern investment companies? It's just that there is an additional role of an intermediary here, which was considered relatively advanced in ancient times.

Of course, this chamber of commerce is much more advanced than those in Tiancang Country. After all, all the chambers of commerce in Tiancang Country are only responsible for the commercial management of cities in various places, and charge a certain management fee from merchants, but are not responsible for matchmaking and borrowing funds for merchants.

After figuring this out, Gu Chan calmed down and walked towards the main door with Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi.

However, what was quite unexpected to Gu Chan was that just as the three of them reached the gate, a familiar figure just happened to walk out of the gate.

This person was none other than Gao Lin, the eldest son of the state who had been beaten by Gu Chan before!
The two sides collided head-on at the door.

Gao Lin was stunned at first, then he suddenly stopped, stared at Feng Hao and said, "Hey! Isn't this the great talent from the north of our Diyue country, Young Master Feng Hao?"

"Master Gao, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here." Feng Hao quickly clasped his fists and bowed enthusiastically.

"It's been at least seven or eight years since we last parted!" Gao Lin said with a smile.

Feng Hao nodded affirmatively.

Gu Chan was standing aside and quickly turned slightly to turn her face away.

Although she was dressed in women's clothes, her face was not changed! She didn't hold back when she beat Gao Lin that day. Gao Lin had been sending people to look for her these past few days, but because she was dressed in women's clothes, his people couldn't find her.

So at this time, she must not let Gao Lin see her face, otherwise it would be really troublesome in a while.

Gao Lin didn't pay much attention to her. His attention was on Feng Hao. He said happily, "When did you come to Kyoto? Why did you suddenly come to the Chamber of Commerce today?"

"Aren't the spring exams coming up soon? I came here to have some fun, and then a friend of mine wanted to visit the Chamber of Commerce, so I brought her here." Feng Hao explained.

Gao Lin immediately looked at Fang Tianyi standing next to him and said lewdly, "Brother Feng is really a romantic man! You actually have such a beautiful woman by your side. I really envy you!"

"Brother Gao, what you said is true. When it comes to romanticism, I can't compare to you!" Feng Hao laughed. "By the way, Brother Feng, I heard that you didn't want to go home for a long time to avoid the Queen and stayed in Qingpu every day. Is that true?" Gao Lin said jokingly.

Feng Hao asked in confusion, "Brother Gao, Kyoto is a thousand miles away from Xuanyue City on the northern border! How come you know about what happened to me over there?"

"What a joke! Don't you see who my father is? The Queen has long sent people to Xuanyue City to keep an eye on you. That person will send a message back to report your situation at any time, so my father also knew about it. He even mentioned you to me last night, saying that you are unlearned and lazy. You must have made the Queen very angry!" Gao Lin said as he reached out and patted Feng Hao's shoulder, laughing so much.

Feng Hao pulled his lips awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Although he had guessed that the Queen would not let him go easily, he never imagined that the Queen would arrange people in Xuanyue City to secretly monitor him.

Fortunately, he met Gu Chan this time and was influenced by her to come to Kyoto to take part in the spring exam. Otherwise, he really doesn’t know how the Queen would deal with him.

Gao Lin didn't say much about this matter, and instead said in a lecherous tone, "By the way, Brother Feng, we have a nice Yuanyang Building in Kyoto. How about I wait for you at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, and we can go there together later, and then I'll treat you well?"

"That's great. It's rare that both you and I like this. Let's not go home until we are drunk tonight." Feng Hao agreed without thinking.

"Straightforward! I like your personality." Gao Lin said with a laugh.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at Gu Chan who was lying on the side. Then the smile on his face froze, and he frowned and said, "Brother Feng, who is this little girl?"

"Her name is Gu Paner, my fiancée. She wanted to come over to play, so I brought her here." Feng Hao said.

"Oh! I thought this lady was your fiancée! I didn't expect this girl to be the one! That's really rude. Miss Gu, my name is Gao Lin, and I'm the son of the Duke of Kyoto. We're meeting for the first time. How about we be friends?" Gao Lin said, clasping his fists and bowing.

He did this not because he respected Gu Chan, but to give Feng Hao enough face.

You know, Feng Hao is a person whom the Queen values ​​very much. For him, a truly ignorant young man from a rich family, making friends with such a person with a bright future will only benefit him in every way.

And most importantly, if the Empress uses Feng Hao in the future, he will have an important relationship and ally in the Kyoto court!
Therefore, it is very necessary to show goodwill to Feng Hao's fiancée right now.

Gu Chan didn't dare to turn around, she just leaned sideways, clasped her fists and saluted, saying, "Hello, Mr. Gao, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."

"Pan'er, why don't you turn around quickly? How can you be so rude to Brother Gao?" Feng Hao scolded angrily.

"Well... I had a bad sleep last night and my neck hurts so much now! I can't turn it around." Gu Chan quickly covered up.

Feng Hao was stunned and dumbfounded on the spot.

Fang Tianyi laughed and said, "You were fine when you first came in, why are you losing your pillow now?"

"Okay, stop making trouble. Turn around and greet Brother Gao properly." Feng Hao said with a frown.

After saying that, he stretched out his hands and pressed Gu Chan's shoulders, forcing her to turn around to face Gao Lin.

Gao Lin was in a good mood at first, but when he saw Gu Chan's face, his expression instantly turned gloomy, and he was so angry that he could not contain himself!
