423. Chapter 423: Drawing the Huai Region

Quan Zhengdong is the honest man in the champion pastry shop back then. Because his daughter-in-law Cuihua is good at business, she has now completely expanded the shop of Zhuangyuan Cake.

Because of Ye Yu's unintentional signboard back then, today's champion pastry is completely famous. Even because of Ye Yu's strong recommendation, the palace court also followed the trend and became one of the indispensable pastries in the palace imperial meal.

Because of this, Quan Zhengdong and his wife have always regarded Ye Yu as their own kindness, especially a simple and simple person like Quan Zhengdong, who attaches great importance to this kindness.

So whenever he heard someone slandering Ye Yu's reputation behind his back, Quan Zhengdong directly refuted and reprimanded him angrily, he didn't care whether what the other party said was right or wrong, at least in his Quan Zhengdong's heart, Engong's reputation was not to be slandered.

This is the expression of an honest man, although it is too blind and loyal, but it reflects the sincerity of Kwon Zhengdong!

Every day, Quan Zhengdong would pass by the teahouse early in the morning, and because he often got up early, he would sit in the teahouse for a while.

As the shopkeeper of the teahouse said, this teahouse is indeed stained with the light of this road, because this road is the closest road from the pastry shop to Yefu.

With Quan Zhengdong's financial resources now, although he is not very rich in the city, he is quite rich, and he can enter the teahouse to drink tea.

And the reason why Kwon Zhengdong is like this, in addition to the fact that he is a rough person and seems incompatible with high-end teahouses, the most important thing is that he passes by here every day.

This has become a habit for him, and every day after Ye Yu returns home, he will deliver the first fresh pastries from the pastry shop.

There are a lot of guys in the shop, but he Quan Zhengdong has to deliver the pastries in person every day.

Every year, day after day!

Today, Ye Yu was fishing by the pond in the back garden early in the morning, living a fairy-like life. Hearing that the servant said that Quan Zhengdong was coming, Ye Yu ordered someone to lead him into the back garden.

"Lao Quan, please say hello to the adults here!" After Quan Zhengdong came to the back garden, he put down the exquisite food box and gave Ye Yu a big gift.

Where is Ye Yu willing to let an elder do this big gift, so he put down the fishing rod and mixed with Quan Zhengdong: "Uncle Quan, you really shouldn't be, Ye has said it many times, you don't have to spend so much!" ”

"As it should be!"

"Even so, you don't have to work hard to deliver pastries, just let the guys in the shop deliver them......"

"These people are clumsy, or I personally sent them to be sure!"

For Quan Zhengdong's persistence, Ye Yu was very speechless and helpless. At the beginning, he helped Kwon Zhengdong and his wife so much, in fact, in addition to the fact that the champion cake is really delicious, the important thing is to miss an old man.

When he first came to the capital to participate in the examination, it was Lin Weihan who gave him a top cake. Although whether you can win the champion or not has nothing to do with the champion cake, this is at least a kind of affection for the deceased.

Ye Yu didn't think that after that, Quan Zhengdong would send snacks to his house day after day.

Ye Yu was very moved by this kind of behavior, but he would get tired of eating too much of this snack, not to mention people like Ye Yu, who don't particularly like sweets.

Fortunately, there are many female dependents in the house, but they can be digested slowly!

Then Ye Yu chatted with Quan Zhengdong for a while, and saw that Quan Zhengdong's expression was wrong, so he asked, "Uncle Quan, is there anything unpleasant?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to someone slandering adults behind my back!" Quan Zhengdong is a person who can't hide things, so as soon as Ye Yu asked, he directly told what happened in the teahouse.

After Ye Yu listened, he smiled heartily: "Uncle Quan, why are you too serious?" ”

"But my old power just can't be angry!"

"It's not necessarily bad to be controversial, by the way, Uncle Quan, can Guangwu make progress in his studies now?"

Ye Yu didn't want to say too much about these trivial matters, but directly asked Quan Guangwu about it. Quan Guangwu can be said to be a disciple officially accepted by Ye Yu, so he often cares about this disciple's studies.

As soon as his son Quan Guangwu was mentioned, Quan Zhengdong was very interested: "My lord, this child has always been very obedient, and he has not forgotten to read poetry and books while practicing martial arts, but the court and the gold thief are about to start a war, and this will be ...... to the palace test."

"It's okay, the book is shallow, rather than winning the martial champion of the imperial court, it is better to hone it on the battlefield!"

"To the battlefield!?" He didn't understand some of the words that Ye Yu said, but Quan Zhengdong understood the word battlefield.

Ye Yu saw Quan Zhengdong's shocked expression, so he sneered: "What, Uncle Quan is worried about Guangwu's safety?" ”

"Don't hide it from adults, Lao Quan is such a child, and he will die on the battlefield......"

In Kwon Jeong-dong's eyes, the battlefield means death.

In fact, this is also true in the eyes of many people, because it is an unavoidable fact.

"Uncle Quan is right, how can you not die on the battlefield? Even me...... You may die on the battlefield in the future! ”

Ye Yu said to himself with feelings, and then adjusted his feelings: "Uncle Quan, I still have some things to deal with, and I am out of company!" ”

Then he left the small garden in a hurry, because Ye Yu had just seen the housekeeper Uncle Sun, who had been waiting outside the garden for a long time......

In the study, Yue Lin, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, sat quietly, and when he saw Ye Yu walking in, he hurriedly got up and saluted Ye Yu.

However, it was always faster than Ye Yu, so Ye Yu took the lead in opening his mouth: "It is the fault of the little nephew to let Uncle Shi wait for a long time, please!" ”

"Huh! What is the virtuous nephew talking about, the old man has just arrived...... "When it comes to seniority, Ye Yu is also his student, and this virtuous nephew is actually a matter of course.

But although Yue Lin called Ye Yu a virtuous nephew, it was extremely unnatural, but it gave people a sense of humility. Because in terms of official position, Ye Yu is a few levels higher than him.

Moreover, he was able to be promoted from Yifang Zhizhou to the capital as an official, and Ye Yu did a lot of work in it.

In these years, even if you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you work at the grassroots level for a lifetime.

Therefore, under such extremely complex factors, Yue Lin's state of mind is complicated.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ye Yu went straight to the topic: "Uncle Shi, what did the little nephew entrust you with last time......

"Regarding the distribution map of the Jianghuai waters that the virtuous nephew wants, the old man has secretly drawn a copy, but the Jianghuai region is vast but the waters are complex, so it took a lot of time......"

Yue Lin said and ordered two attendants to carry the box in the courtyard, and after only he and Ye Yu were left in the room, Yue Lin opened the iron lock on the box and opened the huge wooden box in front of Ye Yu.
