The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 73 Winning the right to trade wisely, the covenant in the bamboo forest (1)
What he said was impeccable, and Hu Boyi won both face and reputation. On the contrary, if Chu Zhengyang, who was framed by others, turned cold and ignored him, he might be regarded as a narrow-minded person by unknowing foreign merchants.

At this point, Chu Qing once again saw how thick-skinned the richest man in Anning is.

"Boss Hu, you are being polite. You are handling it impartially, so why feel guilty?" Fortunately, Chu Zhengyang is not an ordinary person. He watched Hu Boyi's performance with cold eyes, and practiced Tai Chi with him.

"Brother Chu, it's good that I don't blame you. Hehe..." Hu Boyi said casually, his eyes fell on Chu Qing who was standing behind Chu Zhengyang with his head slightly lowered. He felt that the young man's eyebrows were both strange and familiar, so he couldn't help asking: "What is this?" This is..." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Chu Zhengyang, waiting for his answer.

Chu Zhengyang explained unhurriedly: "Oh, this is my nephew from the same family. He happened to come to see me. Seeing today's grand event, he came to learn together." After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Qing: "Chu Li, I haven’t seen Master Hu yet.”

Chu Qing stood up according to her words, lowered her forehead slightly, clasped her fists with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Chu Li has met Master Hu."

A handsome young man is not enough to make Hu Boyi care, what he cares about is what Chu Zhengyang said before.Home?Chu Zhengyang moved from other places to Anning City to settle down for more than ten years. When did he hear of his family coming?Even, I have never heard of him having a family.

In Southern Chu, the person who can say the word "family" must come from a big family, so there is a saying that the family is divided.

Chu Zhengyang, who originally thought he had no family background, actually has a family?This news not only caused doubts in Hu Boyi's heart, but the rest of the Anning merchants who knew the Chu family also started whispering after hearing it.

On the contrary, Chu Qing, who didn't know much about Da Chu's family system, was a little ignorant.However, it was her ignorance that made others think that she was the young master from a big family, so she was so calm and leisurely.

In a corner of the venue, Han You, who had met Chu Qing once, watched silently. The words of Hu Boyi and Chu Zhengyang just now naturally fell into his ears.

The young man named Chu Li had an outstanding appearance and an extraordinary temperament. He was definitely not from an ordinary family, which aroused his interest.

"The last time I asked you to investigate the matter of the Chu family business?" Han You said lightly.

The attendant behind him was also the one Chu Qing had seen before, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "It is indeed the Hu family who attacked the Chu family business, but the origin of Chu Zhengyang is a bit mysterious. They are not from An Ning, but have been for many years." I moved here before, and I usually live in a simple place, and I don’t see any relatives visiting.”

"Oh?" Han You's eagle eyes flashed a hint of amusement: "It's interesting. But this is not Dahan, and I don't have time to investigate these trivial matters. Let's let it go."

Investigating the Chu family was just a temporary interest after he met Chu Qing by accident. After a few days, no shocking secrets were found, so his interest naturally faded.

Even fighting for trade rights is not the main purpose. He will return to North Korea after today's business is over. These are just a small incident for him, and he will not take it to heart.

But he didn't know that his indifference at this time made him miss something in the end.

"Hehe... Brother Chu's family?" Hu Boyi finally spoke out to test.

Who knows, Chu Zhengyang waved his hand to change the subject: "Don't mention it, don't mention it."

This prevarication made Hu Boyi frowned, guessing in his heart, could it be that Chu Zhengyang couldn't bear face, so he played tricks?
However, if Chu Zhengyang really has a family, now that he is in crisis, he will naturally ask his family for help, which also explains the presence of people from his family.

However, if it was really someone from the same family, would they send a boy with no hair at all?
For a while, Hu Boyi couldn't guess whether Chu Zhengyang's words were true or not.

At this time, a voice of surprise suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.The sound was very soft, and it was difficult for ordinary people to detect it in this environment, but the hearing was so clear, but they heard it clearly, and even turned their eyes to look at the source of the sound.

"Brother Zhengyang, is it really you?" The person who made the suspicious voice pushed through the crowd and walked out. It was a middle-aged man with frost on his temples, but with clear eyes and a dignified appearance.

Chu Zhengyang followed the prestige and was startled when he saw that person. Even Chu Qing beside him could clearly feel the shock.

She didn't understand her father's behavior, but she saw her father suddenly smiled helplessly, and said to the man who approached him clearly: "Brother Min, I haven't seen you for many years, how is everything?"

Min Zifeng looked at Chu Zhengyang with complicated eyes, and said with a lot of emotion: "It turns out that you hide here."

Chu Qing noticed that there was a bit of bitterness in Chu Zhengyang's smile, and the unspeakable concealment in the eyes of this man surnamed Min made her suspicious again of everything that Chu Zhengyang deliberately concealed.

"Huh? Isn't that Min Zifeng, the boss of Zhengmin Company in Yongning Prefecture?"

"Zhengmin Company? It was one of the largest merchants in the country at the beginning. It is said that it controls more than half of Jiangnan's silk weaving industry."

"This Chu Zhengyang is actually acquainted with Min Zifeng. It seems that he is an old friend whom he hasn't seen for many years. Could it be that Chu Zhengyang really comes from a rich family?"

"But, have you never heard of any big merchant surnamed Chu?"

The voice of discussion spread to the ears of different people.Chu Zhengyang just smiled slightly, but he didn't want to explain.Min Zifeng, on the other hand, seemed a little annoyed with his old friend, and wanted to speak out about the origin of the Chu family, but Chu Zhengyang grabbed his wrist and shook his head.

Hu Boyi, who was already nearby, saw this scene in his eyes, his thoughts were racing, and he was also guessing about Chu Zhengyang's origin.

Not to mention him, even Chu Qing was secretly thinking about it.

At this moment, Mr. Liu, the prefect of Anning, suddenly walked out from the front of the venue, followed by three exotic men in strange clothes, making the audience quiet.

"Brother Zhengyang, I didn't expect to meet you again today. But in business, I won't let you." Min Zifeng simply stood beside Chu Zhengyang and said in a low voice.There is a sense of nostalgia in the eyes.

And the neglected Chu Qing took the opportunity to keep a low profile.Originally, the purpose of her appearance today was not to show off.

What Min Zifeng said was heard by Hu Boyi on the other side, and he didn't know what kind of psychology he was in, so he blurted out suddenly: "I'm afraid, brother Chu can only watch Boss Min's performance from the sidelines today."

Min Zifeng frowned dissatisfiedly, and looked at Chu Zhengyang with questioning eyes.

Chu Zhengyang smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look at Hu Boyi, and said humbly and politely: "It was too late to explain to Boss Hu just now that the Chu family is also here to participate in the competition, so please don't blame me." Then, he took out a letter from his cuff. Invitation card.

The dazzling golden color hurt Hu Boyi's eyes.

Anning City obviously only had a few invitation letters, and all of them were sent by themselves.So, where did the invitation letter in Chu Zhengyang's hand come from?Before he had time to think about it, the people on the stage had already started talking, and Hu Boyi, who was full of suspicion in his heart, could only suppress his emotions and focus on the words of the people on the stage first.
