The tyrant opposite the door

613 Chapter 624: Generous

The Governor's Mansion of Wanma City is naturally not as majestic and magnificent as the Imperial City of Kyoto, but today when I walked all the way in, I only saw guards standing on both sides with swords hanging from their waists, making people dare not even take a look.

The three of them followed Qiu He more and more frightened, passed through the courtyard gate, and entered the main courtyard all the way.

"Three wives, wait a moment, the servants will go in and report." Qiu He said to the three with a smile, and then walked in.

The three of them were full of ambition when they came, but now they felt a little uneasy, and looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak casually at this time, and just waited quietly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Qiuhe came out, "The Empress announced that the three wives have an audience."

The three hurriedly stepped up the steps, and did not dare to look up when they entered the room. They bent down and knelt down, and said in unison: "The women see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old, Jin An."

"Pingshen." Chun Xin stood aside and said at this moment.

"Thank you, ma'am." The three stood up, watching the scene becoming more and more cramped.

At this time, I heard an extremely soft voice, "Give me a seat."

Then, Gong'e in brocade clothes brought three brocade scorpions, and the three of them quickly apologized and thanked each other, and then sat sideways beside each other in a corner.

Looking carefully, the first thing that catches the eye is a phoenix pattern woven with gold thread on a piece of bright yellow clothes. The golden light is very dazzling when it comes into view.

Under the bright yellow phoenix robe, one can vaguely see a pair of shoes embroidered with phoenix patterns in gold silk. On the toe of the shoe is a pearl the size of a thumb. The size of the pearl is rare, and the color is also an extremely rare golden pearl.

Just looking at it like this made me feel more and more uneasy. I was full of ambition when I came here before, but now I feel so guilty that I don't know how to speak.

Yunran also has his own calculations in his heart. These three families have been entrenched in the area of ​​Wanma City for many years.The family has a big business, but the family doesn't take the way of studying, but just builds a good relationship with the officials of the frontier from generation to generation.

Such a family can't be said to be short-sighted, it can only be said to be opportunistic in their bones.

This dynasty is more enlightened than the previous dynasty, and the sons of merchants can also take the imperial examination.

And none of the three of them chose this path. It can be seen from this that in their opinion, it is more cost-effective to use money to build a good relationship with officials than to provide for a scholar in ten years of poverty.It is not so easy to pass the Jinshi examination. Some people have passed the examination all their lives and cannot go any further.

What's more, those who are not enlightened may just be a child or a scholar all their lives.

Therefore, they would rather spend money to open the channel than make up their minds to raise a scholar. It can be seen that these three families are mercenary people at heart.

I just want to take shortcuts, but I don't want to work hard.

Yunran has met many people in Kyoto. Although he has never seen such a person, he has heard of them.

To deal with such people, in fact, there is no need for much means, as long as they are suppressed from the momentum, it is enough.

So it was rare for Yunran to act like a queen today.

What's more, there is a war at the border now, so many people's eyes are staring at her in the general manager's mansion.

She is the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and her every move here represents the majesty of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and Yun Ran cannot slack off in the slightest.

When in the palace, once the gate of Guanju Palace is closed, you can be at ease.

But here, living in other people's yards, commanding other people's servants, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, any slight disrespect and being spread by others will have a bad influence.

If it were in Kyoto, would these three families dare to send posts directly to their door to see them?

With their identities, not to mention seeing the queen, even the wives of ordinary officials may not be able to easily see them.

And they had the courage to come to the door, what did they rely on?
silver!

Being forced to have to see, such a thing is not happy for anyone.

Besides, Yunran also ordered someone to check. These families did donate a lot of money and food, but they earned more.

Salt, iron, tea, etc. need to be attracted by officials to sell, otherwise it is smuggling. If caught, imprisonment is the lightest punishment, and some people can't even keep their heads.

The money and food they gave to the border gate was not in vain. The various official quotations they got back from here were enough for them to earn back several times.

Yunran somewhat guessed their reason for coming, and guessed that they were attracted to this year's official, so she was not in a hurry and talked to them slowly.

The three wives were very restrained, and after a few words, they couldn't wait to present the gifts they had brought.

There are three types of sandalwood brocade boxes, with brocade borders on the four corners, carved patterns, and lustrous luster, just looking at this box is worth some money.

"It's a mere gift, it's not a respect, and the empress should accept it with a smile." Mrs. Mao said with a smile, feeling a little nervous.

I only hope that the queen can open the box and have a look, so that the next words can be said easily.

Who would have known that the empress only asked the maid next to her to take the box, but she didn't even look at it, she just continued to talk to them with a smile, asking about the local conditions and customs of Wanma City, and listening to the scenery outside the Great Wall, as if she was very interested in these things. Interested in the same, but nothing else was mentioned.

The three of them didn't dare to interrupt the queen's words, so they could only laugh along with them, and followed the queen's words, feeling aggrieved and anxious.

After a quarter of an hour, the empress felt a little tired, and they listened to the empress saying, "Because of the urgent situation at the border, I traveled for more than half a month starry night, and my body has not been able to recover. I won’t leave you guys to continue talking, come back.”

What else could the three of them say, they could only stand up and thank En and leave.

The soft and gentle smile on Yunran's face disappeared instantly after the three of them left.

Qiuhe sent people to the second gate, then turned around and came back, lifted the curtain to come in, and saw that the three boxes had been opened one by one.

She poked her head around and saw that each box contained a thick stack of banknotes.

But the empress's expression was so ugly that even Qiuhe was afraid to speak.

"Put the box away." Yun Ran took a while to break the silence.

Chunxin and Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiuhe took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, they have already sent people out, but before they left, they gave the servant a 300 tael silver note."

Qiu He handed over the bank note as he spoke.

"It's really generous. I just want to sell it well in front of you, so I will give you 300 taels. When I ask you to ask you to give me a word, I'm afraid it will be thousands of taels. It really is a rich family." Yun Ran said with a sneer.

But Qiuhe felt hairy all over, the empress really is, she hasn't been angry for a long time.

She just didn't understand how these three people angered the empress, she didn't understand.
