The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Shengfu Yin came to the city to take up his post some time ago. We should have held a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust. However, the border territories are in troubled times. The war is stalemate on the front. Although the three cities of Shou'an are not as close to the front line as the five cities of Anzhou, what's the matter? We are still in a corner, and our people are still jittery and anxious." You Sui changed his face very quickly, quickly suppressed his previous small emotions, put on a respectful attitude, and took out a thick stack of money from his sleeve. The bank note was placed on the table and pushed gently to Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan looked at the large number on the banknote and then looked at the thickness of the banknote. He felt it was tens of thousands of taels.

Oh wow, what a big gesture!
You looked at Sheng Yuan's almond-shaped eyes, raised his bright black eyes with a cold air, and hurriedly added: "This is a little respect from the eight surnames and twelve families. I wish you to abandon the prosperity of Kyoto and come to this bitter cold place to benefit us. I am showing my righteousness, so I am showing my shame here. This is the respect and sincerity that we, the common people, show to you. I hope you will accept it and don’t refuse it."

Before he finished speaking, the other family heads followed closely and echoed each other:

"Sheng Shanda is the number one scholar in the Sixth Yuan Ranking, and is the pride of our great Chu. If you come to the border town, I'm afraid that all of us will gather together to defend An City! You accept this small gift, which is really a blessing for us!"

"Yes! Sir, please don't be polite to us. You first came to Guard Security and you don't know our usefulness yet. We have a long time to come, and you will gradually realize that we are your help!"

"Yes! Yes! Mr. Fu Yin, it is said in the books that Lu Yao knows how powerful horses are, and people's hearts will be judged over time. Let's submit our certificate... Ah, I dare not say that I want to make friends with you. Just think of us as subordinates outside the establishment." Officials, it’s all about protecting An City!”

"Master Fu Yin, you may not know something. Our eight surnames and twelve families have migrated to the border town since the early years of Qian Chen. We have been reproducing from generation to generation for hundreds of years. In terms of our familiarity with Fucheng, The subordinate officials and assistant officers in front of the palace may not be as good as us. Of course, if you need it, Mr. Jin can express your position on behalf of the eight surnames and twelve families, and we will definitely tell you everything we know."

"My lord, there is no need to be afraid. This gift is not a bribe of silver, it is equivalent to giving Cheng Yi to a friend. This is a common practice in Shou'an City." Under You Sui's gaze, Zhang Si raised the corners of his lips and agreed.

Sheng Yuan smiled as she watched everyone selling hard. Before she could express her position, Xiaoyao, who was standing by the side, was furious.

Okay, how dare a small businessman's family in Shou'an City speak nonsense in front of a young lady? !
There is a knife hidden in every word!

See what this means, haven't you tested enough? !
Are they worthy of making friends with young ladies? !
A bunch of rabble!
The more Xiaoyao cursed, the angrier he became. His beautiful eyes stared at the people in the hall without blinking, and his ears were like radars, refusing to let go of any sound.

"I didn't know that such affordable sincerity is popular in Shou'an City!" Sheng Yuan laughed after everyone had finished talking.

She pinched the banknotes and shook them slightly. She pinched her fingers slightly to confirm that there must be about a hundred banknotes in the stack with a denomination of one thousand taels.

Sheng Yuan remained calm and put the banknote back: "What a good thing! It's a pity that I have been lacking this thing since I was a child."

You Sui looked at her quietly and found that when she faced these banknotes that could shake any official, she was neither shocked nor greedy. She looked calm from beginning to end, and couldn't help but smack it secretly.

"Yes, yes, Fu Yin, you are from a wealthy family, so you are used to seeing rare and rare treasures. These common things are ordinary to you. It's a pity that we have lived in the border town for a long time and have never seen the world. Apart from these, there is nothing else." Show your sincerity!" Zhang Si advised with sincerity.

Sheng Yuan, who heard the implication, glanced at him and smiled sarcastically: "My Sheng family has very strict rules. Gifts over a hundred yuan will not be accepted if they are not between in-laws and old friends. If you give them to me personally, then why not?" Please take it back! Although I don’t take these banknotes seriously, these banknotes are too hot! As the chief official of a government, I won’t reach out for such a small amount of money!”

When she said this, many family heads showed hesitation.

You Sui, the leader, was a little disappointed at first.

But soon, he caught the clue in Sheng Yuan's words and felt vaguely excited.

Maybe their trip won't be in vain.

There were only a few people who reacted like him.

They looked at each other without any trace, hiding the calculation in their eyes. "Lord Fu Yin..."

"Hmph, Master You, there is no need to say more!"

As soon as You Sui opened his mouth, Sheng Yuan lowered her face and gave a cold voice.

Her attitude of changing her attitude as soon as she said it made everyone confused.

Even Zhang Si couldn't help but secretly sigh: Such a moody look was raised by a powerful family.

Sheng Yuan was too lazy to distinguish their thoughts and looked at them mockingly: "I remember there is a proverb among the people, which is 'A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake', and there is another sentence that seems to be...'A strong dragon cannot cross the river' ?”

As soon as she said this, everyone present changed their expressions.

There is no way, the head of the Eighth and Twelve Families is not the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one has ever seen Shengyuan's straight-to-the-point approach.

That's why they were greatly impacted when faced with Sheng Yuan's characteristic speech style of "As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment belongs to you."

There is no other way, who makes their Shengfu Yin specialize in being frank and frank!

"I just didn't expect that the local vigilante guarding An City would be so polite?"

As soon as everyone woke up from the shock, they turned around and heard Sheng Fuyin's sigh. Suddenly, everyone seemed to see the words "taken advantage of" coming towards them.

Very good, this female governor knows how to ridicule.

Those with a strong temperament, like Zhang Si, almost died.

The amount of banknotes they sent was large enough to support the orderly operation of Shou'an City for a year!
Wherever you go, you will be treated as a guest!
But it didn't work in front of this new governor.

It was a mistake to give her money together!

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't stay still.

Maybe they should wait and show up again.

At least let the new governor, who has high self-esteem, suffer some hardships in the city, so that she can understand the meaning of these two proverbs in her own words!
After receiving the hint, You Kuai was a little hesitant. Just as he was calculating the gains and losses, Sheng Yuan's sneer reached everyone's ears: "Although this is my first time to go out, I am not a fool! You guys want to use a mere tens of thousands taels?" To buy a banknote and be safe is to underestimate the position of this officer and the Governor of Shou'an City!"

"???" Sheng Yuan's words changed, confusing everyone who was about to make up their minds.

What's going on?Does this sound like you were given too little money?

If this is really the case, actually...it's not beyond negotiation. (End of chapter)
