After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

While Yunzhou was undergoing construction at full steam, Governor Song and his caravan traveled day and night back to Kyoto.

As the end of the year is approaching, every household has begun to prepare to purchase New Year's goods, and the city of Kyoto is bustling and lively.

There were shouts, singing, applause, and the sound of the Hu Bing shop clapping dough. The noise was loud and the crowds of people were surging in an endless stream. From time to time, luxurious carriages passed by, and people dressed in gorgeous silks could be seen everywhere.

"Madam Su, Mr. Song, we have arrived in Kyoto, and we are saying goodbye now!" President Chen let out a long sigh, bowed to the two of them, turned around and left.

Su Yunyan was shocked: "Why are you in such a hurry? Thanks to President Chen and others for taking care of me along the way. I also want to treat them to a meal."

"Please invite me again when you have the chance." Song Zhizhou looked at the backs of President Chen and others who were leaving in a hurry and sneered.

They simply drew a line in the sand because they were afraid that their godmother would force them to buy wool and cashmere.

However, they don't know that if they don't eat the food that is right in front of them, they will have to pay several times the price in the future, and they may not be able to negotiate the deal.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Su and Mr. Song? Why are you back?!"

When passing by Fuquan Teahouse, a tea drinker inadvertently spotted the two of them and hurriedly leaned out to say hello.

Su Yunyan said generously: "The festival is coming soon, and my mother asked me to come back to give gifts to His Majesty."

At this time, the windows on the second floor opened one after another, and several dark heads appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

Everyone was talking about it.

"That's right, the Marquis' wife is now the governor!"

"Miss Su, what gift did the governor ask you to give to His Majesty?"

"I haven't heard of any local specialties in Yunzhou. This new official has just taken office, so we can't just give him some New Year gifts to fool people."

"What else can Yunzhou have besides sandstorms, grasslands, and Tartars?"

"I just heard from Chairman Chen that the general collected a lot of cashmere wool in Yunzhou. Could he be sending that wool felt?"

One tea drinker frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and said with disgust: "Don't mention wool felt. Many years ago, a good friend gave me a wool hat. It was ugly, difficult to wear, and had a smell that could not be washed off. I wore it once and never wore it again."

Perhaps because Gu Nanxi was not in Kyoto, someone took advantage of Su Yunyan's thin-skinnedness and tried to lift the oilcloth covering the cart without her permission.

Song Zhizhou grasped the man's wrist, his eyes were cold, and although there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, it made people feel inexplicably chilled.

"I haven't been back to Beijing for just a few months, and Beijing has become like this? Anyone dares to touch the general's things?"

The man was embarrassed in public and his face turned red. He wanted to reveal his identity arrogantly, but he was afraid of Gu Nanxi's power and did not dare to continue to be presumptuous.

Song Zhizhou was returning to Kyoto with an important mission. He was too lazy to argue with this man. After successfully making an example of him, he escorted Su Yunyan back to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

When they could no longer see Song Zhizhou's back, the others dared to ask, "What did you see just now? Do you know what gift the general wants to give to His Majesty?"

The man spat on the ground with a look of disdain on his face: "I thought it was some precious item. Although I didn't see it just now, I touched it with my hand and it's clearly wool! I think what President Chen said must be true!"

The man deliberately raised his voice and said, "You should be careful! That lady is ruthless and is short of money right now. She wanted to force Chairman Chen to buy cashmere wool, but failed. This Yunzhou might be a big pit she dug, just waiting for you to jump in!"

Others did not take these words to heart, but just thought that how could the gift that the Yunzhou Governor gave to the emperor be a woolen product?

Naturally, the chirping of crickets spread from the streets to the court and into the harem.

As the discussion in the court was drawing to a close, an official brought up the topic of Yunzhou: "I heard that Lord Gu forced the caravans from Kyoto to do business in Yunzhou to buy and sell."

Censor Jiang said sternly: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence?"

The official laughed and said, "I heard it from the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He said he wanted to sell wool and cashmere. Where can I get a good price for this stuff?"

Another official said sarcastically, "The biggest specialty of Yunzhou is the Tartars. I guess Lord Gu has no other choice but to resort to this last resort. I just hope we don't guess that he is sending New Year gifts just to ask for money."

The Minister of Finance put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "Let me be frank. Although there is still some money in the treasury, it is all useful. When Yunzhou was first established, it said that it would not ask for money from the court. Lord Gu must keep his word."

Censor Jiang retorted: "What? His Majesty didn't know that Lord Gu came to ask for money, but you knew it? You knew it faster than His Majesty did?"

The Minister of War sneered, "You are a lackey who has done your job well while your master is away. Who of us doesn't know what Gu Nanxi wants to do? Even the New Year gift to His Majesty is just a woolen felt."

Censor Jiang was about to retort, but was stopped by the young emperor: "Who told you that what Lord Gu sent was just a wool felt?"

After saying that, the young emperor ordered the eunuchs to bring up the gift that Gu Nanxi had sent.

The gift given by my sister was very good, but the concubines in the harem almost fought over these two things.

The gift was received only yesterday afternoon, but the Queen and Concubine Tong had a quarrel in the evening.

The queen has always been virtuous, but this time, she would not give in for these two things.

Concubine Tong was a flamboyant person and loved these two things so much that naturally she was unwilling to let go.

This commotion naturally attracted the Queen Mother.

I never thought that the Queen Mother was also very happy about this gift...

For a moment, the young emperor felt very embarrassed. There were only these two things, so to whom should he give them?

The eunuchs brought in the gifts, and there was a burst of sneers in the court.

Look at the material, you don’t even need to touch it, you can tell it’s made of wool.

"I never thought that the gift sent by the Governor of Yunzhou would be so unpresentable."

"Who said I was poor?"

"In my opinion, it's not poverty, it's contempt for the emperor's authority! The governor of Yunzhou has a rich family, how could he not come up with a decent gift?"

"That's right, this clearly shows that you don't take His Majesty seriously!"

The officials added fuel to the fire, hoping to provoke the young emperor's anger and reprimand Gu Nanxi!

However, the sarcastic words had not yet been finished and the sneers were still on their faces. As the eunuchs slowly unfolded the gifts, the officials were like roosters with their necks strangled, unable to utter a single word!

Is this made of wool?!

How could this be made of wool?!

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at what they saw in front of them in disbelief.

The Minister of War wanted to touch it, but was stopped vigilantly by the eunuch.

This is something that the Queen, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Noble Consort all love. If it gets dirty, I will have more heads than enough to compensate for it!
