Chapter 303: Yunzhou presents a gift, stunning Kyoto!
While Yunzhou was undergoing vigorous construction, Song Zhizhou and his caravan traveled day and night to return to Kyoto.
Because the end of the year is approaching, every household is starting to prepare to buy new year's goods, and the city of Kyoto is bustling with people.
The sound of shouting, singing, applause, the sound of dough being slapped in the pastry shop, the noise, the crowds, the constant flow, luxurious carriages passing by from time to time, and people dressed in gorgeous silks and satins can be seen everywhere people.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Song, we have arrived in Kyoto, let's say goodbye!" Chairman Chen let out a long sigh of relief, cupped his hands towards the two of them, turned around and left.
Su Yunyan was speechless: "You're in such a hurry? Thanks to President Chen and others for taking care of you along the way, I still want to treat them to a meal."
"I'll treat you to a meal if I have the opportunity in the future." Song Zhizhou looked at Looking at the back of President Chen and others hurriedly leaving, he snorted lightly.
They were just afraid that their godmother would force them to buy woolen cashmere, so they drew a clear line.
However, they don’t know that if they don’t eat the food that is put to their mouths, it will cost several times the price in the future, and they may not be able to negotiate.
"Hey, aren't these the young lady of the Su family and Mr. Song? Why are you back?!"
When passing by Fuquan Teahouse, a tea patron accidentally spotted the two of them and hurriedly came out to say hello.
Su Yunyan said generously: "It's almost the festival, and my mother asked me to come back to give gifts to the Lord."
At this time, the windows on the second floor all opened, and the lobby on the first floor also opened. Many dark heads appeared.
Everyone inquired about it.
“That’s right, Mrs. Hou is now the governor!”
"Miss Su, what gift did the governor ask you to give to the Holy Emperor?"
"I haven't heard of any local specialties in Yunzhou. This new official has just taken office, so he can't fool him with some New Year's gifts. "In the past."
"What else can there be in Yunzhou besides sandstorms, grasslands and Tatars?"
"I just heard from President Chen that the general is in Yunzhou?" I have collected a lot of cashmere and wool. Shouldn’t I give you that wool felt?”
A tea guest frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and said with a look of disgust: “Don’t mention the wool felt. A friend gave me a woolen hat. It didn’t look good, it was hard to wear, and it had a smell that couldn’t be washed away. I wore it once and then never wore it again.”
< br>
Perhaps because Gu Nanxi was not in Kyoto, someone bullied Su Yunyan for being thin-skinned and planned to lift the tarpaulin covering the carriage without her permission.
Song Zhizhou grabbed the man's wrist, his eyes were cold, and although the corners of his mouth curved, it made people feel chilled inexplicably.
"I haven't been back to the capital for just a few months. What has the capital become like now? How dare a random person touch the general's belongings?"
The man was made a fuss in public. Shameless, his whole face turned red. He wanted to reveal his identity arrogantly, but in the end he was afraid of Gu Nanxi's power and did not dare to continue to be presumptuous.
Song Zhizhou returned to Kyoto with an important mission and was too lazy to argue with this man. After successfully killing the chicken to scare the monkey, he escorted Su Yunyan back to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Only when Song Zhizhou's back could no longer be seen, others dared to ask: "What did you see just now? Do you know what gift the general wanted to give to the Holy One?"
The man spat on the ground. , with an expression full of disdain: "I thought it was some kind of precious object. Although I didn't see it just now, when I touched it with my hand, it was clearly wool! Look, what President Chen said must be true!"
< br>That The person deliberately raised his voice and said: "You should be careful! That lady is ruthless. Now is the time when she is short of money. She wanted to forcefully sell cashmere and wool to President Chen, but she failed. This Yunzhou might be her The big hole dug is just waiting for you to jump in!"
Others didn't take these words to heart, they just thought that the dignified governor of Yunzhou was giving a gift to the Holy Emperor. Could it be wool products?
This cricket cooing naturally spread from the market to the court and to the harem.
When the discussion in the court was coming to an end, an official brought the topic to Yunzhou: "I heard that Mr. Gu bought and sold by force to the caravan from Kyoto going to Yunzhou to do business." Jiang Yushi said with a straight face: "Food is okay. Eat randomly, don't talk nonsense. Do you have any? Evidence? "
The official laughed: "I heard it from the president of the chamber of commerce. He said that he wanted to sell wool and cashmere. Where can I get a high price for this?"
Another official Yin Yang He said angrily: "The biggest specialty of Yunzhou is Tatars. I guess Mr. Gu has no other choice, so he came up with this strategy. I just hope that we don't guess correctly and give New Year's gifts just to ask for money."
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance Putting his hands in his sleeves, he said calmly: "Let's start with the ugly words. Although there is still some money in the treasury, it is all useful. When Yunzhou was founded, he said that he would not reach out to the court, and Mr. Gu must keep his word. There is a letter.”
Jiang Yushi replied: "What? The Holy One doesn't even know that Lord Gu is here to ask for money, and you know it? You know it faster than the Holy One?"
The Minister of War sneered: "The master is not here , you are quite conscientious as a loser. Who among us doesn’t know what Gu Nanxi wants to do? The New Year's gift to the Holy Father is just a wool felt."
Jiang Yushi still wanted to protest, but was stopped by the young emperor: "Who told you that Mr. Gu gave me just a wool felt?"< br>
After saying that, the young emperor ordered his servants to bring up the gifts from Gu Nanxi.
My sister gave me such a great gift, but the harem almost got into a fight over these two things.
The congratulatory gift was received only yesterday afternoon, but the Queen and Concubine Tong started to quarrel in the evening.
The queen has always been virtuous, but this time, she did not give in for these two things.
Concubine Tong has a flamboyant personality. She loves these two things so much that she naturally refuses to let go.
This noise naturally attracted the Queen Mother.
I never thought that the Queen Mother was also very happy about this gift...
For a time, the young emperor felt very embarrassed. There were only these two things, who should he give them to?
The chambermaid carried the gift in, and there was a sneer in the hall.
Look at the material. You don’t even need to touch it. You can tell it is made of wool at a glance.
“I really didn’t expect that the gifts given by the dignified governor of Yunzhou would be so disrespectful.”
“Who calls people poor?”
"According to me, it's not poverty, it should be contempt for the emperor's power! Yunzhou Governor's family is rich, how can he not come up with a decent gift?"
"Yes, this clearly means that he does not take the Holy Emperor to heart. ! ”
Officials, you add fuel to the fire, and I add fuel to the fire, eager to arouse the young emperor’s anger, it’s best to reprimand Gu Nanxi!
However, before the sarcastic words were finished, the ridicule was still on their faces. As the waiters slowly unfolded the gifts, the officials were like roosters with their necks strangled, and they could no longer speak. Come!
Is this made of wool? !
How could this be made of wool? !
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief.
The Minister of War wanted to touch it, but was stopped by the chamberlain vigilantly.
This is something that the Queen, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine all love. If it is stained, I don’t have enough heads to pay for it!
