Chapter 401 The shopkeeper enters the city, offering tribute to the silk
Chapter 401: The shopkeeper enters the city and offers brocade and silk as tribute
Bamu's words took shopkeeper Yi Lao for a long time to come to his senses. The man in front of him...well, a strong man, from his perspective, he should be a general with high responsibilities, right? He didn't even call himself '
'Sheep with two legs' instead of calling me brother? Is this another treacherous plan of Jin Gui's? When did this Jin Guoren have such a good temper and be so polite?
At this moment, a small sedan hurriedly walked out of the city gate. Seeing the strict guards and the maids accompanying them, Yinyi Hongcai and others looked at each other. This must be that county official.
The Lord has come out.
Immediately, everyone's figure was slightly bowed and their heads were lowered.
After a while, a clear voice was heard, "Are you the caravan from Lin'an?"
While he was stunned, Bamu whispered beside Yi Hongcai: "Reply, the princess will ask you again."
"Ah..." The old shopkeeper panicked and knelt on the ground.
He has been walking in the North for many years and is no stranger to the Jin Kingdom's ritual of kneeling and worshiping. Facing the princess at this moment, life is always more important than the so-called dignity.
"There's no need to be polite, old man, Bamu, you haven't helped him up yet."
Yihong's body that had just kneeled down was immediately lifted up by Bamu beside him, and he stood up again.
"Meet the princess, we are from Lin'an!" Yi Hongcai finally regained some of his expression and said with a bit of vibrato. He had a lot of dealings with Jin people, but on weekdays, he could see some Jin people in small towns.
Officials are already top-notch people. When have you ever seen such a top figure as the princess?
After saying a few words, the old shopkeeper showed how knowledgeable he was after all, so his mood was stabilized. After combing his thoughts, he said respectfully, "Princess, I am the shopkeeper of the Shao Family Caravan of the Great Song Dynasty.
On the order of the lady, I came to see the princess and brought gifts from the two ladies to the princess."
This is a bit awkward to say and a bit strange. However, it is actually quite normal!
Although the old man of the Shao family has not officially acknowledged Shen Tang's identity, Shen Tang won the first prize and not long ago successfully negotiated with the Jinren for the Song Dynasty. He is extremely majestic. Who wouldn't talk about Shen Tang?
Three points of respect? Therefore, before they knew it, the servants of the Shao family had already regarded Shen Tang as their uncle. Moreover, Mr. Shao did not directly object, which further enhanced the prestige of these people.
In their opinion, although there is still some distance between their young lady and Mr. Shen, they are definitely a match made in heaven. Their master is just keeping a tight face. Maybe when it comes, things will fall into place, and he
Others, of course, are members of the same family as Mr. Shen.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the shopkeeper claimed that he was from the Shao family, but also called the two ladies.
Wanyan Yue looked a little nervous again and asked carefully, "What are the names of your two ladies..."
"My eldest wife, Liu's name is Xiangling, and my second wife is my eldest daughter, Shao family Mu Yu!" Although he didn't know why the princess asked this question, Yi Hongcai still answered respectfully.
That's right! Wanyan Yue was finally sure. She already knew the names of her young master's two wives, but now that she heard it, what could possibly be wrong?
After calming down, Wanyan Yue said, "Since you have come to Xijing under the order of the two sisters, you should naturally have a good rest for a day or two. It just so happens that I also have something to send to the two sisters."
"Bamu, welcome everyone into the city!" Wanyan Yue said.
Although Yi Hongcai and others were just businessmen, since they were able to come under the orders of the two women, they were also close confidants. Therefore, Wanyan Yue did not hesitate at all.
Bamu waved his hand, and naturally some soldiers came forward to help drive the cart into the city, and then respectfully welcomed the person he wanted in! Whether it was Yi Hongcai or others, they just felt dizzy and a little difficult.
Come back to your senses.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
The status of merchants is not high. Not to mention the Jin Kingdom in the north, even in the Song Dynasty, no one has ever encountered such courtesy. Not to mention the princess, in the Song Dynasty, a small county magistrate can make him
They couldn't move even an inch.
A group of people entered Xijing City in a daze. There was no need for them to worry about all matters. Bamu had already asked the soldiers to make arrangements. Then, a sumptuous banquet was prepared in the courtyard, and the princess personally prepared it.
Invite them to a banquet. Although the princess only took care of them and left, I am afraid that the emperor has never experienced such a standard.
Well...the wine today is really intoxicating...
Fortunately, Yi Hong did not forget the purpose of his visit. He took out the gifts and the letters written by the two ladies and asked Bamu to hand them over to the princess...
Yi Hongcai and others were naturally led by Bamu to entertain them. Wanyan Yue returned to the room. Several little girls behind him also entered the room carrying several boxes. And in Wan Yanyue's hands
There is also a letter on it.
She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to open the envelope directly.
"Dongmei, open these boxes."
Wanyan Yue wanted to see what was in the box first, at least so that she could judge the attitude of the two sisters towards her. If she opened the letter directly, Wanyan Yue really lacked some courage.
"bump!"
The first box was opened, and pieces of exquisite Jiangnan brocade were revealed. Several little girls took out the silk brocades in surprise. There were all kinds of colors and patterns.
"Madam, this is the finest Song Jin!" Dongmei exclaimed.
Of course Wanyan Yue could tell that she had no shortage of brocades and silks from the south of the Yangtze River. Every year, part of the annual coins given to the Northern Kingdom by the Song Dynasty were replaced by brocades and silks, among which were naturally rare and top-grade ones. But what she saw in front of her was actually better than hers.
The ones I have ever seen are even more exquisite. They are definitely treasures of unfathomable value!
Wanyan Yue certainly didn't know that Xiang Ling and Mu Yu had put a lot of thought into these return gifts. After all, every piece of jewelry Wan Yan Yue sent was priceless. As sisters, how could they be so weak?
momentum?
These brocade silks are tributes supplied to the royal family by the Shao family every year. Each piece requires the selection of the finest silk and the best embroiderers who spend a lot of time to weave it. Shao Muyu directly withheld part of these tributes,
Sent here. Not to mention in the Jin Kingdom, even in the Song Dynasty, except for the royal family, absolutely no one has ever used such a treasure. Even the Shao family themselves would never dare to use it.
Looking at these exquisite brocades, Wanyan Yue felt a little relieved. It seemed that the two sisters didn't have much ill will towards her, otherwise, there would be no need to put in the effort to send her such high-quality brocades.
