Beiping, Xicheng.

There is a saying in Beiping, a city of four or nine, that the east is rich and the west is expensive, and the south is poor and the north is cheap.

This meaning is very simple, because the river in Beiping City is open to water, and the Grand Canal is connected to Chaoyang Gate, so the east city is mostly rich people; Most of the people living in Xicheng are the children of the old Eight Banners and dignitaries.

As for the southern city, because it is located in the downwind and water of Beiping, most of them are those who are forced to make a living, the Jianghu people who are forced to make a living, and the hooligans and ruffians are mixed here.

Xicheng Xijiaomin Lane.

The geographical location of this alley was very prominent during the Republic of China, and there were important departments such as the Beiping District Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the High Trial Hall.

If you push it forward, in the Ming Dynasty, it played an indispensable role here, such as the Ming Dynasty's Five Military Governor's Office, Taichang Temple, Tongzheng Envoy, Jinyi Wei and other central institutions are all located here.

Yan Mansion is located in the center of Xijiaomin Lane, which belongs to a typical Chinese-style courtyard house.

Two majestic stone lions are placed outside the spacious gate, and the gatehouse continues the previous Qing Dynasty architectural style without any changes.

Walking into the gate, you will be greeted by a red brick shadow wall, which depicts a picture of the pine crane extending its life, and the vivid mural makes people can't help but look sideways twice.

Turning past the shadow wall, you will come to the front yard of the house, where large and small, green potted plants are placed on wooden shelves.

In a huge blue and white porcelain fish tank, you can see fat goldfish swimming leisurely and slowly.

What dark clouds cover snow, three-color tiger head, golden-headed black and white lion, twelve red butterfly tails, and other rare varieties are everything, which fully demonstrates the owner's good taste.

"Mu Feng!"

When Chu Mufeng was admiring the goldfish, a familiar voice sounded from behind, and he quickly turned his head to look and found that it was Cao Yunshan and his wife who came together.

"Senior brother and sister-in-law." Chu Mufeng bowed slightly.

"You're here early." Cao Yunshan said with a smile.

"Senior brother, isn't this what you ordered? Let me come over early, saying that there is work for me to do, how dare I slack off. Chu Mufeng replied solemnly.

"Of course you have to come over to help, if you don't do it, who will? Let's go, come with me to meet the Director! After Cao Yunshan motioned for Ning Rouge to leave on his own, he walked to the study with Chu Mufeng.

Chu Mufeng came here for the first time, but Cao Yunshan was familiar with the road.

In the quaint study.

After seeing the two of them coming over together, Yan Ze, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, waved his hand and beckoned in.

Chu Mufeng naturally did not sit down casually without knowing his eyebrows, but stood respectfully next to Cao Yunshan and played the role of a waiter for the two of them.

"Mu Feng, since you are at home, you don't have to be so restrained, just sit casually." Yan Ze said gently.

"Director, I'm still standing at ease!" Chu Mufeng hurriedly said.

"Director, let him be!"

Cao Yunshan was talking beside him, and Yan Ze didn't continue to insist, and after his eyes swept over the two of them, he said unhurriedly.

"At this private banquet at noon today, all the people who came over were their own people, so they didn't need to be outside. Mu Feng, you can have a few more glasses of wine with a few bosses in a while. ”

"Yes!" Chu Mufeng didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.

This is not an opportunity that anyone can think of!

Naturally, you have to perform well!

Of course, Chu Mufeng knew very well that as long as he appeared at the wine table, then even if the imprint of a member of Yan Ze's faction on his body was imprinted, he would be Yan Ze's person.

During Yan Ze's tenure as the director of the hall, as long as he did his best, he would definitely be prosperous and rise step by step.

Otherwise, there is no one on it, and no matter how much you do, it will be in vain.

"By the way, Mu Feng, what about the gift you brought? Why don't you take it out and take a look! Cao Yunshan followed.

Yan Ze didn't mean to be polite about this, but swept over with interest, he also wanted to see what kind of things Chu Mufeng could come up with.

Under the gaze of the two, Chu Mufeng opened the box, took out the gift from it and handed it over.

"Director, this Bai Yuba is auspicious, I wish you a grand exhibition and all the best!"

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Yan Ze took Ruyi over and watched and played with interest.

Cao Yunshan next to him secretly extended a thumbs up at Chu Mufeng.

This jade ruyi was obtained from Fujiwara, and it is naturally a good thing to be appreciated by this guy as a treasure.

Chu Mufeng also went through some careful appreciation, and he could be 100% sure that this was a genuine product carved from a whole piece of high-grade Hetian white jade, so as not to make a big appearance in front of the hall director.

"Yes, yes, this Ruyi jade is shiny, the tentacles are cold and lubricated, the shape is soft and graceful, and the carving is exquisite, which can be called a good product. Mu Feng, do you know when this was? ”

After playing and appreciating for a moment, Yan Ze raised his head and asked.

"Director, don't hide it, I really don't know, I just think this wishful thinking is quite appropriate, so I took it, and I hope you will advise you one or two!" Chu Mufeng scratched his head and said.

Good boy, quite clever, is this a clumsy trick?

Seeing this, Cao Yunshan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, others don't know, can I not know your kid's familiarity with these antiques?

It's better now, deliberately hiding it and leaving the director with a chance to express his opinions.

You kid is enlightened, and the future is immeasurable.

"You see, this Ruyi is engraved with eight auspicious patterns, the carved ornaments are clear and clear, and the auspicious meanings are all present, with the style of court utensils...... So according to my judgment, it must be something of the Qing Dynasty. ”

was tickled, and Yan Zerao, who likes to collect, commented with interest.

"Hall Chief Gao Jian, Mu Feng has been taught!"

"Hehe, Director, you are really knowledgeable!" Cao Yunshan also echoed.

Putting the jade Ruyi back into the box, Yan Ze patted it and said, "Mu Feng, I am very satisfied with this gift, you have a heart!" ”

"If the hall chief likes it, it's fine." Chu Mufeng said with a smile.

"Okay, Mu Feng, you go out and say hello first!" Cao Yunshan saw Yan Ze accept the gift, then pick up the teacup, and drink tea slowly, so he said directly.

"Yes! Director, Director, I'll retire first! ”

With that, Chu Mufeng turned around and walked out of the door, and gently closed the door.

After Chu Mufeng left, Yan Ze said with a satisfied face: "Yunshan, this kid is quite thoughtful, a young man like him should cultivate more." ”

"Yes, Director, I'll supervise him!"

Cao Yunshan hurriedly endorsed Chu Mufeng.

Then thinking of the invitation list he saw, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Director, will all the people you said you invited come?" ”

What does this mean?

If Chu Mufeng was still here, he would definitely have doubts when he heard it.

Didn't they say that they were all their own people? Why wouldn't anyone come? Could it be that this private banquet is not so simple?

Right!

This private banquet is indeed not simple.

Would Yan Ze really be bored enough to hold such a banquet at home? Of course not.

He has always been very purposeful in doing things, and he will never be untargeted.

Some of the people invited today are their own cronies, so there is no doubt that they will definitely come.

As for the others on the list, they were the ones Yan Ze wanted to tempt.

This banquet in the name of a private banquet is actually a queue.

The people who came over may not necessarily say that they will definitely stand in Yan Ze's team, but at least it shows that they have this idea and are inclined to lean over.

As for not coming, it must be on the opposite side.

After tonight, as long as it is someone who has not come, then wait to be cleaned up by Yan Ze one by one!

This is the cruelty of standing in line, one is prosperous, and one is lost!

If you come to stand in line and turn around and sing the opposite, don't even think about please!

No matter what time it is, no one likes to use a two-faced subordinate!

"It's okay, everyone has their own aspirations, whether you come or not follow them, we can't face it! Yunshan, the twisted melon is not sweet! Yan Ze waved his hand, his eyes playful.

"Yes, Director!" Cao Yunshan immediately understood.

Since it's not sweet, it's naturally going to be thrown away, in other words, it's going to kick them out, and I won't take you to play here!

"Mu Feng, come here!"

When Chu Mufeng just came out of the study, he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by Ning Rouge not far away.

He immediately walked over quickly: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?!" ”

"Come on, Mu Feng, let me introduce you to you, this is our Yan Chief's wife!" Ning Rouge was talking to a middle-aged woman with her hair raised high and her demeanor graceful.

Don't look at this person who is nearly middle-aged, but because of proper maintenance, his skin looks very fair and delicate, and his figure is not out of shape, wearing a blue cheongsam and a pearl necklace around his neck.

She seems to belong to that kind of introverted type, giving people a very gentle and kind feeling, and she has not become snobbish and arrogant just because she is the wife of the director.

"Hello Madam Yan!" Chu Mufeng hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Oh, are you the little detective you've been talking about in the hall lately? Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! Madam Yan blinked, looked Chu Mufeng up and down and asked.

"Little detective?"

Chu Mufeng was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said modestly: "Mrs. Yan, I just luckily solved a few cases under the instructions and arrangements of the director and the director, but I can't be called a detective, it's just a joke for my colleagues." ”

"Fluke?"

Mrs. Yan waved her hand directly, and said very frankly: "There is no fluke in solving the case, if it is solved, it is broken, and if it is not solved, it is not solved." ”

"If you can solve the case by luck, then why don't you see others get lucky? You, don't be modest, Zong Ting mentioned you after he came back and said that you are very good! ”

"Thanks to Director Yan's love, Mu Feng will definitely do his best to repay the director for his cultivation." Chu Mufeng's attitude was very low, and his attitude was also very resolute!

"Alright, Mu Feng, go get busy."

Ning Rouge's purpose was to let Chu Mufeng enter Madam Yan's line of sight, and since the purpose had been achieved, there was no need to continue.

After all, when we meet for the first time, we are not very familiar with it, so as not to say too much.

"Okay, Mrs. Yan, sister-in-law, you two are chatting slowly!" After speaking, Chu Mufeng bowed slightly, then turned around and left.
