Chapter 294 Who Are You?
Shang Buqun tried his best to avoid the joking tone in his voice: "I have used it before, it's not bad, better than soapberry!"
"Only slightly better than soap nuts?" Yu Jiuer's tone unconsciously rose. "Whether it's used for bathing, washing face, washing clothes or washing quilts, it's super good, okay? Do you know anything about the product? Can you find a better soap than this? Linglong Pavilion's monthly supply is not enough to grab, and you still complain about it?"
"Not really! I've never paid attention to these trivial matters, and I've never washed clothes or quilts, so I can't appreciate their benefits. Is that wrong?"
Shang Buqun tried hard to hold back his laughter; it was quite amusing to see her jumping up and down.
"Do you need help to wash your face and take a bath? You don't even know what soap is, you country bumpkin!" Yu Jiuer was so angry that she said something without thinking.
"As the Prime Minister who works for the welfare of the people, if you don't get close to the people and understand their suffering, you are just a nerd who has never seen the world!"
Yu Jiuer sat down angrily, poking the stone table with her hand, and continued to mutter, "Also, the mirrors in our Yinshan County are as clear and bright as those in the Western Regions. The mirrors in the capital are all small pieces. You may have never seen a large full-length mirror? But we in Yinshan County can make a lot of full-length mirrors!
I only gave up my distribution rights to you merchants for your sake, and you still question our products? How can this be absurd!"
After Yu Jiuer had vented her anger, she noticed the mockery in Shang Buqun's eyes. She was so angry that she picked up the wine glass beside her and threw it at him: "You're asking for a beating!"
Shang Buqun easily caught the wine glass she threw at him and couldn't control his laughter. Looking at Yu Jiuer's angry face, he laughed even harder.
"Shang Buqun, if you laugh again, I'll make you pay!" Yu Jiuer grabbed a big chicken leg and warned.
Shang Buqun couldn't stop at all, and Yu Jiuer really threw the big chicken leg in her hand over to him.
Her throw, which never missed, landed the big chicken leg accurately into Shang Buqun's open mouth, instantly silencing his wild and unbridled laughter.
"Hahaha..." This time it was Yu Jiuer's turn to laugh.
Shang Buqun started eating without any image.
Yu Jiuer laughed and teased him: "A starving ghost reincarnated!"
Shang Buqun said seriously: "In the court, there are so many intrigues, and I can't even relax when I get home. What's the point of living?"
"After all I've said, do you still want to cooperate?" Yu Jiuer got back to the point.
"You've said it so well, won't I be at a disadvantage if I don't cooperate?" Shang Buqun said with a face full of grievance, "But I'm risking betraying my ancestors to cooperate with you, you have to have a drink with me!"
Yu Jiuer patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! If you cooperate with me, your business will make a profit! When I bring huge profits to your business and take your business to a higher level, your ancestors will probably open their coffins to thank you!"
"Poof!" The wine in Shang Buqun's mouth spurted out, "Let my ancestors thank you first!"
"That's your ancestor, you should entertain him first..."
The two of them had another round of verbal battle and started to joke with each other.
As they were chatting excitedly, Yu Jiuer suddenly said, "It would be great if you were a girl, we would definitely be good friends! You should be more careful in your next life and be reborn as a girl!"
"Puff!" Shang Buqun spit out another mouthful of wine, "Ahem! Could you please stop making shocking statements? Why would a man like me rush to be a woman?"
"To be my best friend!" Yu Jiuer said and then complained.
"In this dynasty, the boundaries between men and women are too clear, and there are many restrictions on us women. If a woman drinks with a man other than her, she will be branded as a slut! But you men take it for granted that you have three wives and four concubines, and even take pride in it? Who can I go to for justice?"
Shang Buqun did not comment, but changed the subject and asked, "When do you plan to return to Yinshan County to take over as the county magistrate?"
"No rush. Just go back and take a look within half a year after the transfer order comes. The prince has arranged for someone to manage the place. Everything is in order and the people are living and working in peace and contentment!"
Yu Jiuer was still thinking about the celebration banquet of the Black Wind Society on April 8th.
There are still two months left, and after she has dealt with the Black Wind Society, she will return to Yinshan County.
Shang Buqun sneered and said, "Since Yinshan County has developed so well, why do you still care about that little bit of tax revenue? I thought your Yinshan County was really poor and destitute?"
"Do you think Yinshan County will become impoverished under my wise governance? Am I that useless?" Yu Jiuer said shamelessly, "When you have a chance, go to Yinshan County to see the paradise I have built. I guarantee you will be surprised!"
Shang Buqun squinted at her for a long while, then chuckled and said, "Besides being a little conceited, impulsive, and shameless, your means of making money are beyond doubt, and absolutely unmatched! I believe it!"
"Are you praising me or insulting me? A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. I have earned money through legitimate means." Yu Jiuer laughed and then asked him,
"By the way, tomorrow our Jingwang Mansion will hold a Qionglin Banquet to celebrate my success in the palace examination. Do you want to join us? Give me a gift?"
Shang Buqun said with contempt in his eyes: "I have violated the ancestral teachings and contributed the Shangjia Transport Team to your Yinshan County for use, and you are still not satisfied? You even don't let go of the share money?"
"A mosquito is small but it's still meat! I don't mind it. Would you like to join me?" Yu Jiuer smiled proudly.
Shang Buqun directly reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of banknotes and slapped them in front of Yu Jiuer: "Here you go, here you go! What a great career!"
"It doesn't matter if the person isn't here, the most important thing is the money! Then I won't be polite!" Yu Jiuer's eyes sparkled, and she quickly put the banknotes into her arms, taking them without mercy, and said unsatisfiedly,
"How great it would be if everyone was as generous as the Prime Minister? Wouldn't I be rich? Hehe!"
"You are not careful in choosing friends! You are just a money-grubber!" Shang Buqun was too embarrassed to watch, so he covered his eyes and warned her,
"Once the cooperation begins, we must ensure that the goods in Yinshan are sufficient! Our merchant transport teams are spread all over the country, and we will need a lot of goods! Don't just think about making money in Beijing, you have to take care of that too!"
"Don't worry! If the people of Yinshan are not enough, don't we have prisoners to help with production?" Yu Jiuer did not hide the secret from him, "There will be enough goods! There will be no delay!"
"You even got your hands on the prisoners? You really made the best use of them! The emperor is far away, but you are really brave!" Shang Buqun widened his eyes and couldn't help but admire him. "Cheng Ming from Xiguanying is a very stubborn person, but you can actually take him down? Who the hell are you?"
"I am a little fairy that fell from the sky! If I tell you that General Cheng now listens to me, would you believe it?" Yu Jiuer joked with a grin.
"I believe you ghost!"
Yu Jiuer shrugged: "If you don't believe it, forget it!"
After collecting the banknotes, Yu Jiuer stood up and said, "I have to leave first! I will draft the specific terms of cooperation in the next two days and then bring them to you for your signature!"
"Don't want to drink anymore? It's still early, why are you in such a hurry?"
"If you don't leave now, are you waiting for my prince to come and fight you again?" As soon as the words fell, Jun Mo's tall and straight figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Yu Jiuer had a strong desire to survive, so she walked up to him quickly, hugged his arm and acted like a spoiled child: "My Lord, are you here to pick me up? I came out of Lishan Academy and had nothing to do, so I came to talk to the Prime Minister about cooperation and to decide on the business support for the development of our Yinshan County!"
Jun Mo didn't say anything, just glanced at Shang Buqun.
"Just talk about cooperation?" Shang Buqun's unhurried voice came, still sitting on the chair fearlessly, crossing his legs lazily, shaking the wine glass slowly in his hand, and he was too lazy to even stand up and greet.
The setting sun shined through the gaps in the leaves and fell on him, mottled and full of provocative charm.
In Yu Jiuer's opinion, this was exactly what he wanted.
He deserves a beating, why drag her into this?
