Chapter Eighty-Five: None of Them Are Fuel-Efficient Lamps

In the evening, Chen Lang came to Chen Changzhou's mansion, and saw Chen Changzhou sitting in the study reading a book, so he stepped forward and said: "Dad, you are worthy of being an important minister of the court, you really live to learn and learn, and you are not idle for a moment." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Changzhou put down the book, looked his son up and down, and said, "You kid hasn't come home for a long time, and it will be no good to pour me ecstasy soup when you enter the door." ”

Chen Lang put a basket of fruits on the table in his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, look at what you said, I will treat my son as a night owl." ”

Chen Changzhou said: "What are you not a night owl, boy!" What cherry are you not doing in your own home, what are you doing when you come back? ”

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Didn't I miss you old man, so I specially bought some fruits and came back to see you!" ”

Chen Changzhou glanced at the fruit on the table and said, "It's rare for you to have filial piety." Say, you kid has something to do. ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, it's really a knowing son Mo Ruo's father, how do you know that I came back to you and have something to do!" ”

Chen Changzhou smiled and said: "What kind of thing you kid is, I don't know when I am a father." ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, you deserve to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, you are really like a god." Then he told Ding Qian what he had asked for.

Chen Changzhou listened, pondered for a moment and said, "Did you kid take the benefits of Ding Qian?" ”

Chen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, if there is any benefit for others, I will take five hundred taels of silver from him." ”

Chen Changzhou glared and said, "Chen Lang, I said that your kid didn't have a long head, and you took five hundred taels of silver for such a big thing." ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, there is another thank you after what Ding Qian said. ”

Chen Changzhou thought deeply: "Thank you, how much more can you give, at most another five hundred taels of silver." ”

Chen Lang said: "Then there is a thousand taels of silver coming in from here, and there are a lot of them." ”

Chen Changzhou stood up and paced a few steps in the study, and said earnestly: "Son, why don't you think about it when you encounter something, if it is really the emperor's favor to open an additional city gate on Freezer Street, it will really become a treasure of feng shui, and the land there will be every inch of land at that time." ”

Chen Lang scratched his scalp inexplicably and said: "Every inch of land is expensive, that's someone else's Ding Qian's business, what does it have to do with me." ”

Chen Changzhou sat back in the chair and said: "Boy, listen to me, our Chen family is such a lone seedling as you, I don't know how long I can be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, you don't seek to be motivated at all in your studies, and it is impossible to enter the official career, so at present, while my father still has some power, I have to plan for your future." ”

Chen Lang said blankly: "Dad, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become, what a plan." ”

Chen Changzhou is also a very shrewd person, otherwise he can get mixed up with the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Chen Lang put forward what Ding Qian wanted, he sensitively felt that if he really opened a city gate, the freezer street would definitely be on fire in the future. Seeing that his son still didn't understand his words, he said, "How can I have such a thing as you that doesn't have a head." You don't want to think about it, if the city gate is really opened in Freezer Street, it will be accessible in all directions, and it will definitely become a hot commercial area in the near future, and if you have a shop there, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. ”

Chen Lang said: "Oh, Dad, it turns out that you want to buy a store there!" ”

Chen Changzhou hated that iron could not become steel, and "snapped" on the table and said: "Stupid, what to buy." Tomorrow you go to Na Ding Qian, and say what I have taught. As he spoke, he explained his subjectivity to Chen Lang in detail.

Chen Lang listened to his father's words and suddenly realized: "Dad, you are really my father, this idea is high." ”

Just after the next hour, Ding Qian, who was sitting in the office, saw a sedan chair outside, the sedan chair man put down the sedan chair, and saw Chen Lang slowly walked out of the sedan chair, although it was March, Chen Lang's right hand was still holding a marked folding fan, and his left hand was carrying the box that Ding Qian gave him yesterday.

Ding Qian hurriedly stood up and said, "Gongzi Chen is here, please take a seat." ”

Chen Lang was not polite, he gently put the box in his hand on the coffee table, and then sat on the chair with his butt and crossed Erlang's legs.

Ding Qian poured a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Chen Lang, and asked with a smile on his face: "Chen Gongzi, I don't know what I asked for yesterday, did you tell the old man?" ”

Chen Lang shook Erlang's leg and said, "Having said that, how can I delay what Shopkeeper Ding is asking for, otherwise it won't affect you to make a lot of money." ”

Ding Qian glanced at the box on the coffee table and said, "Then what is the result?" ”

Chen Lang put down Erlang's leg and sighed: "Alas, I was blocked back by my old man." As he spoke, he knocked on the box on the coffee table with a folding fan and said, "Take people's money and do things for others, this is not done, and I can't accept your money." ”

Ding Qian said: "Chen Gongzi, although the matter was not done, but you also did your best, you should accept the silver." ”

Chen Lang said: "How can this work, what do you think of me Chen Lang." ”

Ding Qian said: "Then Chen Gongzi, there is still room for maneuver here. ”

Chen Lang stood up and said: "It's really hard to say, you also know that this is a big deal to open a city gate, and our emperor pays the most attention to feng shui, adding a city gate, what if it touches the royal dragon vein!" Whoever dares to take that risk to play to Banzai, losing his official position is still a trivial matter, and if he doesn't get it right, he will lose his head. ”

Ding Qian said with a sad face: "If you can't add a city gate, the house can't be sold, what can I do?" Alas! ”

Chen Lang shook the fan in his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Ding, the house can't be sold, what's the use of you sighing in the house, it's better to accompany me along the freezer street to take a walk, I also opened my eyes and saw the new look of the freezer street." ”

Ding Qian had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll accompany you Chen Gongzi for a walk." ”

The two of them walked out of Ding Qian's office, walked east along the yellow sand-paved street, and walked to the end of the street. ”

Ding Qian said: "Chen Gongzi, you see that this place is next to the city wall, and it is in a dead end, so who will buy it." ”

Chen Lang let out an "oh", pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Ding, since no one buys this house, why don't you buy it for me." I'm renting a house in Yujie now, and seeing that Cherry is about to give birth, I can't always rent a house to live! ”

Ding Qian is a person in the business field, and he understands when he hears it, this must be Chen Changzhou's idea for Chen Lang, it seems that there will definitely be an additional city gate here, the key is in Kaifeng Mansion Yin's words, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you Chen Gongzi has spoken, what to buy or not, I will give you this house, and it will be regarded as a new house I gave you with cherries!" ”

Chen Lang pretended to be pretentious and said: "How can it be done, you can't sell here, how can I be embarrassed to take advantage of it again, I can't let you do a loss-making business!" It's as if I'm stealing it. ”

Ding Qian had no choice but to say: "In this case, I will sell this house to you at cost price." ”

Chen Lang "snapped" and folded the fan and said: "Okay, my brother will settle the account, so it's decided." I'll go home and get the silver, and we'll finish the delivery procedures, and we'll have two dry silver. ”

Although Ding Qian felt a little painful, when he thought of the hope of adding a city gate, he also said: "Yes, this is the best." ”

In the evening of the same day, Chen Lang rushed to Chen Changzhou's study with the contract of the house transaction, and slapped the contract in front of Chen Changzhou and said: "Dad, Jiang is still old and spicy, as expected, the house is in hand!" ”

Chen Changzhou glanced at the contract and said, "Since this is the case, you should keep this contract well!" In the future, I will have a survival to rely on. ”

Chen Lang's eyes turned red and said, "Dad!" Still hello! So thoughtful for children! ”

Chen Changzhou stretched out his hand and stroked Chen Lang's head and said: "Who let you not be angry, now I don't think about it, in the future, as soon as I close my eyes, you will not be allowed to beg along the street." ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, is the matter of adding a city gate sure of it?" ”

Chen Changzhou nodded and said, "If you are sure, if you are not sure, my father will not let you buy a house on Freezer Street." ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, as if you are the emperor yourself, you are so sure." ”

Chen Changzhou glared at Chen Lang fiercely and said, "You can't say this nonsense, let others listen to it and accuse you of the crime of rebellion, but you will be destroyed." ”

Chen Lang bowed his head and said, "Dad, the child knows, and he won't dare to talk about it in the future." However, with the addition of city gates, will the emperor really be able to play! ”

Chen Changzhou said confidently: "Of course, because your father and I still have people to help in the court." ”

Chen Lang was puzzled and said: "The person who helps, who is the person you help?" ”

Chen Changzhou said solemnly: "Ding Wei, Ding Gongyan!" ”

Chen Lang smiled: "Dad, are you thinking wrong, as far as I know, you and Na Ding Wei are not all the way at all, why should he help you!" ”

Chen Changzhou smiled deeply and said: "You kid knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, what do you know, although I and Na Ding Wei are not people all the way, but in the face of common interests, he will definitely stand up and help me speak." ”

Chen Lang said: "Joke, what common interests do Ding Wei have with you!" ”

Chen Changzhou said: "Could it be that you have been dating Ding Qian for so long, don't you know that Ding Qian has already worshiped Ding Wei as his uncle!" ”

Chen Lang nodded honestly and said: "I know, but it's just a scene, there is no blood relationship between Ding Qian and Ding Wei at all, and it is in vain to say that it is an uncle and nephew." ”

Chen Changzhou further enlightened and said: "Chen Lang, you kid has really eaten more than 20 years of food for nothing, and sometimes, the relationship cultivated with money is stronger than the blood relationship. ”

Chen Lang said in surprise: "Dad, how do you know that there is a monetary connection between Ding Wei and Ding Qian." ”

Chen Changzhou snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, do you think that my position as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion is for nothing, the chief of the yamen of a mansion at the foot of the Son of Heaven is the most difficult, can you not see the six roads and listen to the eight directions, what background and relationship each of the ministers in the court must master, so that you can meet the source left and right." ”

After listening to Chen Changzhou's words, Chen Lang said sincerely: "Dad, it's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years." Your words really made my son grow a lot of knowledge, and it is no wonder that you can rise step by step and get the important responsibility of the emperor. ”

Chen Changzhou said: "I won't say anything else to you, and you don't understand if you talk too much." I will write this recital, and tomorrow morning, I will propose to Banzai the matter of adding a city gate to Freezer Street. But you kid is a bit of a door-to-mouth, don't be blind everywhere before it happens. ”

Chen Lang said: "Dad, don't worry, my son will definitely keep his mouth shut this time." ”

Chen Changzhou waved his hand and said, "Okay, you should go back to your home quickly!" Don't bother me here, Daddy still has to write a recital! ”

Chen Lang bowed and said, "Dad, you have worked hard, and the child will retire." With that, he gently closed the door and exited the study.

Chen Changzhou said to himself: "Hmph, I'm hard? Raising such a son is a hard life for me, and I have to worry about everything. Then he unfolded the paper and meticulously wrote the folds.
