Chapter 247 Opposites Attract, This Is the Eternal Truth
Appearing in front of Yu Jiuer were two rows of fairy-like beauties, six people in each row, each holding a flower basket in their hands, walking and scattering flower petals along the way!
Not environmentally friendly at all.
Further back was a luxurious sedan chair inlaid with flowers and decorated with pearls and jade.
The sedan was carried by twelve bearers, who were dressed like actors, as exaggerated as possible, as if they wanted to announce to the world that they were the representatives of conspicuous bags.
The Xianyan Bao himself looked lazy, lying leisurely in the sedan chair with fluttering gauze and fragrant smell, smiling at her.
Yu Jiuer stretched her neck to look behind the sedan chair, her mouth opened into an O shape.
The guards following the sedan were all handsome men, and they were all wearing high-end brocade clothes and accessories from the merchants.
What was even more shocking was the basket of silver and copper coins they were carrying, which they were scattering as they walked.
This is not flowers scattering from heaven, this is handsome men scattering their wealth!
Now there is no need to worry about environmental issues, because there is a long line of people following them, scrambling to grab silver and copper coins.
The beauty in front was sprinkling flowers, and the handsome man behind was sprinkling silver. This combination of soft and hard made a sensation in the entire square.
No, it caused a sensation in the area within a hundred miles.
Because Yu Jiuer saw that the Jinyiwei who were maintaining order at the edge of the square were unable to stop the crowds of people pouring in.
Yu Jiuer was stunned and amazed at Shang Buqun's intelligence and financial resources!
This is really powerful publicity!
He is indeed a talent cultivated by a business!
"Sister, I'm here to support you!" Shang Buqun spoke to Shang Buhui, but winked at Yu Jiuer as if to seek credit.
Shang Buhui jumped out and said happily: "Stinky boy, you are finally here! This is quite a sight!"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is amazing! Thank you for your support!" With so many common people present, Yu Jiuer couldn't show off too much and could only bow happily.
"I have nothing to do, so I came to visit my sister and support her. No need to be polite!"
In front of the common people, Shang Buqun spoke in an official tone and lazily swung the folding fan in his hand. He looked so suave and elegant that the women around him screamed.
Some people even shamelessly threw the silk scarves in their hands at him. Only after the cold-faced guards beside Shang Buqun glared at them did they stop. Otherwise, Shang Buqun would probably have been buried by the silk scarves.
Shang Buqun said to the fierce women who were surrounding his sedan chair and staring at him like wolves and tigers: "Have you all signed? If you sign, I will personally give you gifts!"
How could this be too much? This was the first time the Prime Minister was talking to them and he was giving them gifts?
I am so happy!
Suddenly, all kinds of excited and trembling voices rang out:
"Just about to sign!"
“Sign now!”
"I'll sign first!"
......
The guards that Shang Buhui hired immediately stepped forward to maintain order: "Line up, line up!"
Soon, the long petition table was packed with people, and the queue circled the square several times.
Seeing this, Yu Jiuer secretly admired that this publicity seemed to be more effective than asking the beauties in Yue Man Xi Lou to go out on the streets to distribute flyers!
How could she forget that it's not tiring when men and women work together!
Opposites attract is an eternal truth!
She needs to prepare another one or two hundred handsome men to post advertisements and use them to attract women to come here for autographs.
Yes, just do it!
While they were stunned, a majestic and overbearing voice came: "Yu Jiuer, are you cheating? Do you still take the rules of the Great Dong Dynasty seriously?"
Yu Jiuer, Shang Buqun and others looked up and saw the person coming, and they all broke out in cold sweats.
"Emperor..." Yu Jiuer was about to kneel down and kowtow, but the emperor raised his hand to signal them to keep a low profile.
Shang Buqun had no choice but to bow to him and said, "Master, you don't know, my sister and Concubine Yu are close friends. She insisted on bringing me to see the promotion this time, otherwise she would sever the sibling relationship, so I had no choice but to come and take a look!"
Finished! Being caught red-handed, his career as a loyal minister is probably over, right?
"Just take a look, why are you throwing money all over the place?" The emperor's eyes widened, with an expression that said "I don't believe you", and then he turned his head to look at the pile of gifts, frowned and said,
"You've prepared so many gifts. Are you trying to bribe people to sign? You're violating the rules!"
Yu Jiuer hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "We are good citizens of the Great Dong Dynasty. How dare we break the rules? This gift is to thank the women who have signed! There is no law that prohibits giving gifts of thanks, right? Master!"
"Hmph!" The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked into the shed with a gloomy face.
Yu Jiuer was very observant and quickly stepped forward to bring him a chair. She also wiped it again and again with her sleeves, showing a very servile air.
The emperor sat down and rebuked in a low voice: "You openly exploited the loopholes in the law in broad daylight. Do you think I am so easy to talk to?"
Yu Jiuer looked aggrieved, and humbly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the conditions you gave are really difficult. We only collected more than 5,000 signatures yesterday.
But we always keep the law in mind and don't dare to violate it! We just touched the edge and gave a little thank you gift. We definitely don't mean to bribe anyone!"
"You can't even get close to it! You're disregarding your status and your moral integrity. Isn't that shameful?" The emperor's tone was filled with anger.
Yu Jiuer pursed her lips but resisted the urge to refute.
It's not like I'm kneeling down to beg people for signatures, so how can it be embarrassing?
Can status and integrity be used to make a living? Can they give hope to the people of Yinshan?
The emperor calmed down and advised: "I advise you not to continue with this petition, so as not to violate the laws of the Great Dong Dynasty and lose the face of the royal family!"
Yu Jiuer was anxious and knelt at his feet to beg: "Please don't do this! Your Majesty! This is the hope of the people of Yinshan! Please forgive me for the sake of my two little grandchildren and give the people of Yinshan a chance to think about it?"
"I agreed to let you file this petition for the sake of our two children. Now you are having such a hard time getting signatures. You have used all kinds of tricks but still haven't gotten many signatures. It seems that the people don't agree with it." The emperor continued with a look of deep disgust.
"You can't possibly get these 100,000 signatures. Stop this absurd thing now before anything goes wrong!"
Yu Jiuer kept shaking her head, her pretty face showing a stubbornness that was neither humble nor arrogant.
She straightened her back and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ten-day deadline has not yet arrived. How do you know that I cannot get 100,000 signatures? Please don't make a conclusion too early, and give us more trust?
If the people of Yinshan County were reduced to slavery, how could Jing'er and Xin'er stay in the capital with dignity? How would they cope with the situation?
Others will definitely laugh at them, because their mother's family is full of low-class slaves. If they knew that their grandmother who raised them was a slave, what would they think of you?
Your Majesty, please consider the children and give me a chance to fight for it, okay?"
The emperor lowered his eyes in deep thought, met her stubborn eyes that refused to retreat, and thought of the two lovely children. He stood up and said in a low voice, "Be careful about the limit, don't go too far!"
After saying this, he left the shed in a huff.
Yu Jiuer's heartbeat quickened, and she immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude: "I will follow the emperor's order!"
Become!
She can continue to advertise without fear and attract more people to sign!
The emperor passed by Shang Buqun, glanced at his face, and snorted coldly: "Master Prime Minister, don't forget your duty!"
"I dare not!" Shang Buqun bowed and bowed.
After the emperor walked away, he turned around and said to Yu Jiuer with a wronged look on his face: "For you, I have suffered a great loss! Tell me! How many meals of wine will it take to make up for it?"
He knew that it was impossible for him to be with her, but he just couldn't control his desire to see her, to talk with her, and to listen to her shocking ideas.
Yu Jiuer smiled and bowed to him: "When this matter is over, the prince and I will invite Brother Shang to our house for a drink."
"Are you thanking me or harming me? I'm worried that I'll choke to death if I drink with that ice cube in your house! I might as well drink boiled water at home." Shang Buqun looked resentful.
Yu Jiuer said with fox-like eyes, "If you can sit here and help me watch the stall for a day today, I will cook for you in the Dongsheng Restaurant in ten days and give you a thank-you banquet. How about that?"
"You really know how to use resources!" Shang Buqun saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Let me help you attract customers here, do you think I'm a pimp in a brothel?"
"How can there be a prostitute as beautiful as you in a brothel? You are simply a living Bodhisattva. Once you sit here, this small shed will immediately become more prosperous and will surely attract more women. Just think of it as a good deed, okay?"
Shang Buqun saw that Yu Jiuer's eyes were full of pleading. If they hadn't been in public, she would probably have come over and pulled his sleeves to act coquettishly, right?
She pouted and said pitifully, "You are a living sign sitting here. All those lovers will come to see you and sign their names. It's so natural! You are here now, you have filed a complaint, and you have offended the emperor. You might as well help him to the end!"
Shang Buqun's heart softened, and he threw the emperor's warning to the back of his mind, muttering, "I owed you in my last life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and sat back in the sedan chair, enduring the inappropriateness of acting as a living Buddha for the group of fierce women to stare at him covetously.
