Chapter 1785 Provocation
Although Anze Prefecture and Yuzhang are only 500 miles apart, the road conditions are really bad. People from Yuzhang hardly come here, and there is very little communication between the two places.
In addition, the amount of fruit is very small. In Anze Prefecture, there is not a single tropical fruit in the market. People here don’t even know that precious and delicious southern tropical fruits have appeared in the Yuzhang market hundreds of miles away.
When the clerks tasted the lychees, longans, mangoes and pitayas brought to the yamen, their eyes lit up and they praised the food endlessly.
This is lychee! This is longan! And there are mango and dragon fruit, I have never heard of them, but they taste like this, so delicious!
Lord Shao is so kind to everyone. He is willing to give such precious fruits to everyone.
Guanzhou Cheng also ate it and loved it. He was also amazed and envious in his heart.
But when he heard people praising Shao Yunduan, he felt a little unhappy, and couldn't help but laughed half-jokingly: "Shao's friend's family must have a lot of such fruits. They have been delivered several times, and Shao's family must be tired of eating them. Alas, it's a pity that we can't afford such precious things, otherwise we can ask Shao's friend to send more..."
The meaning of his sarcastic words was very clear: These are the leftovers from Lord Shao's family who were sent here because they were tired of eating them, and you treat them like treasures!
If Lord Shao really wanted to send this much, he wouldn't have sent more. It would only take a word from him.
So what are you happy about? They don't value you at all, they are just giving you the leftovers they are tired of eating.
This made everyone look at each other in confusion, and everyone was unhappy.
But because he was the governor, it was not easy to contradict him, so I could only smile and say nothing.
Jia Heming, who had already publicly torn his face with him, did not indulge him and sneered: "So what if Lord Shao's family is tired of eating it? That can't change the fact that this fruit is very precious! Lord Shao gave it to everyone to try it, which means he was thoughtful and took everyone seriously. Otherwise, he could have just not given it to everyone. Naturally, everyone will be grateful!"
"If it weren't for Lord Shao sending us this precious fruit, we probably wouldn't be able to taste it in our lifetime. It's fine if you don't think highly of it, but you're still thinking of asking Lord Shao to send us more? I don't know what you're thinking, but anyway, I don't have the nerve to do that!"
"Oh, it's better not to send it! It will save some people from feeling bad after eating it and saying a lot of sarcastic and unsatisfactory words."
Guanzhou Cheng was furious and said, "Jia Heming, what do you mean? I didn't say that! Don't take advantage of your close relationship with Lord Shao to make up nonsense and wrongly accuse me!"
Jia Heming sneered: "You know whether you have been wronged or not!"
"you!"
Most of the clerks agreed with Jia Heming and thought that Guan Zhoucheng had gone too far. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, they tried to persuade both sides and smooth things over by saying other things.
We can't quarrel. If we really quarrel, it will alarm Lord Shao and there will inevitably be another storm. Why bother?
Guanzhou Cheng obviously had the same concern and did not dare to put on the airs of a state chancellor to reprimand Jia Heming. He just said a few harsh words and left angrily.
Jia Heming had no intention of really doing anything to him, so he let it go.
