Perhaps this year is destined to be an eventful year, in addition to expanding his career these days, Ye Yu has heard the most about the increase in the price of rice and grain.

Originally, the price of a bucket of rice grain was 130 yuan, but now it has risen sharply to 160 yuan.

After some careful investigation, Ye Yu learned that due to the lack of results in the autumn harvest of the people due to the flooding of the Huai River this year, the unscrupulous businessmen deliberately raised the price of rice to make huge profits.

Ye Yu knew that the Pan family had always been mainly engaged in the cloth and rice grain business, so the price of rice in Qingliu County had risen sharply, and it would not have anything to do with the Pan family.

Although it is not a year of famine and will not starve for thousands of miles, it is not a light burden for the people to raise the price of rice in this way, so Ye Yu asked Liu Yuanshan, the acting magistrate, about the increase in rice prices.

The answer given by Liu Yuanshan is consistent with his guess, and now that the flood on both sides of the Huai River has just passed, the price of rice grain in Shouzhou and Huainan has reached 180 Wen, relatively speaking, Qingliu County is one of the places with lower rice prices.

Ye Yu has no right to ask about other people's raising of the price of rice, but the Pan family is really unbearable for him to look at it like this.

At the beginning, Pan Chengfeng colluded with Lu Kun to murder him, but he didn't make a big deal out of Pan Zhi's face, even if Lu Kun wrote a joint conspiracy with Pan Chengfeng on the charge, he didn't come forward to confirm it.

This repeated concession has given the Pan family enough face to deserve. Now, although the increase in the price of rice has nothing to do with him, and the government should come forward to regulate and control the price of balanced rice, he still has to intervene in this matter!

The middle of September is the day when the state examination list is issued, and it happens to be the season when osmanthus is in full bloom, so it is commonly known as "laurel list". And because of the list to win Yin, Chenri, also called "Dragon and Tiger List", are auspicious and elegant.

On this day, Qingliu County can be described as very lively, because Pan Zhisuo has become the only person in Qingliu County this year. There are more than 2,000 candidates in the four counties of the state examination, and only 15 are admitted, which is not too much to say that one in a hundred.

Today, Pan's place is not only ranked among the fifteenth, but also ranked second only to Xie Yuan.

Because the Pan family intends to create a scene, Qingliu County is as lively as an annual temple fair these days.

At this time, Ye Yu glanced at the invitation card in his hand, and said in his heart that this place of Pan really lived up to expectations, although he had not entered the Beijing scientific examination and entered the Jinshi, he was already considered to be the first time to enter the dragon gate.

Mo said that there was an invitation to him at today's dinner, but without him, he would have to go through it both in public and private.

The night moon and the bright sky poured on the ground like a curtain of water, and the largest Tianxiang restaurant in the city was already brightly lit, and there was already a lot of traffic and visitors outside the gate at this time.

Tonight's Tianxiang Restaurant has been contracted by Mr. Pan to receive many visitors.

There are two family members standing at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, one receiving the invitation and singing the list, and the other is full-time to accept congratulatory gifts! The liveliness of Tianxiang Building in Qingliu City at night has far overshadowed the momentum of Zuichun Building.

At this time, Pan Zhishu did not greet visitors in the hall, but stood in front of the door and looked out into the distance on the street. It wasn't until he saw a wheelchair pushed here through the dim moonlight that Pan Zhi's frowning brow gradually eased!

When the sound of the wheelchair turning became clearer and clearer, Pan Zhisuo hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him: "Brother Ye Xian, Pan has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Ye Yu looked at Pan Zhi's face with joy, and it was not bad for people to be in good spirits when they were happy, so he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Pan's victory in the list is a gratifying and congratulatory event, how can Ye not come to congratulate?" ”

"Brother Xian is polite, if Pan can choose, I hope to find a secluded place to prepare two jars of good wine, and it is my wish to have wine with Brother Xian......"

"Huh! That's right! Ye Yu just replied in response, and then followed Pan Zhi's place into the restaurant.

When you come to the lobby of the restaurant, it is already full of guests and friends, and some famous people in the city also gather here. Ye Yu's arrival surprised everyone, and at the same time, he did not forget to come forward to greet Ye Yu.

The so-called world changes have reincarnation, and everyone was present at Lu Kun's birthday banquet, but Ye Yu that day was just a poor boy with a flamboyant tongue in the eyes of everyone.

And now, after a year and a half, no one dares to underestimate the young man in front of him. Because now in Qingliu County, in addition to the long-rooted Pan family, Ye Yu has become the second richest businessman!

Although Ye Yu doesn't like this kind of masked communication, he can't help himself in the shopping mall, and he can only entertain one new face after another with a smiling face.

However, the first person he wants to meet should be Liu Yuanshan, because Liu Yuanshan, who is the acting magistrate of the county tonight, was also invited to come. There are smiling people in the hall, and naturally there are people who are displeased.

Pan Chengfeng felt very unhappy that Ye Yu would appear here, and he didn't understand why Ye Yu was invited to this night banquet.

Compared with Pan Chengfeng, who was cold, the eldest brother Pan Chengjun was much kinder, although the cloth business he was in charge of was on the same level as Ye Yu in business, but after all, everyone who came was a guest, and he also knew that his son had a very close personal relationship with Ye Yu.

Therefore, Pan Chengjun did not snub Ye Yu, but took the initiative to greet him.

For the cadres of the Pan family, except for Pan, Ye Yu doesn't know anyone. When he learned that the middle-aged man with an honest face in front of him was Pan Zhisuo's father, Ye Yu's words and deeds were naturally much more respectful.

Although there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there are no elders and children on the shopping mall, the difference between the young and the old should be clearly distinguished in private.

Pan Chengjun also saw Ye Yu for the first time tonight, he thought that Ye Yu would be a young and vigorous junior, but now he has the impression that he is so calm and polite.

This made Pan Chengjun secretly surprised and couldn't help but sigh at the same time, this son's success seems to be no accident.

Just as everyone was chatting with each other, a crisp sound of wooden pestles made everyone suddenly quiet. Ye Yu followed the prestige, and saw a white-haired old man walking into the hall outside the door, holding a pear blossom wooden staff and being supported by the servant towards the hall.

Pan Zhi's face was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he ran over and stepped forward to help, and then the two brothers Pan Chengjun and Pan Chengfeng also followed.

"Ye boy, this is Old Man Pan......" At this time, Liu Yuanshan put his hands behind his back and whispered beside Ye Yu.

Ye Yu felt very helpless about Liu Yuanshan calling him Ye Xiaozi all the time, and wanted to persuade Liu Yuanshan to change his name several times, but in the end he didn't have a chance to say it.

The title of 'Ye Boy' seems to be very close, but if you listen carefully a few times, it has the homonym of 'Wild Boy'.

Ye Yu looked at the faltering old man, it was Pan Yue, the person at the helm of the Pan family, but he had a thought in his heart that he shouldn't have.

He wondered if he would be too old in the future, and would he have to work in vain for the inheritance he had created, and his life would not be fun.

Is this really the life you want? No, your life should be full of turbulent waves and need to be colorful!

Just when Ye Yu was stunned, Pan Yue had already greeted everyone, and then came to Liu Yuanshan, bowed down and said, "Old man, please meet your lord!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Yuanshan hurriedly put his hands on each other, and said very politely: "Old Pan doesn't have to be formal, if the official is still your junior, today is the joy of Sun Zhongbang and there is no need to be formal, Pan Lao, please take a seat!" ”

Liu Yuanshan said that he gave up his seat on the side, and Pan Yue saw that Liu Yuanshan insisted on giving way after several pushes, and Pan Yue was finally ashamed and said: "My lord is gracious, and the old man will be the first!" ”

After everyone was seated, Pan Yue looked around and looked at everyone. Since Ye Yu belonged to the younger generation, he consciously sat down with Pan Zhisuo and other young people.

But Liu Yuanshan seemed to do it on purpose, and he dragged him to the chief's table.

This made Ye Yu feel a little embarrassed, although he deserved to sit on top of this chief with his current prestige, but all of the people present were uncle-level figures.

The youngest Pan Chengfeng is also not confused, and it is really awkward for him, a seventeen-year-old young man, to be caught in the middle.

"Old Pan, this is Ye Yu, who has been in the limelight recently......" Liu Yuanshan seems to be very interested in Ye Yu tonight, and before Ye Yu could speak, he had already introduced himself to Pan Yue.

Pan Yue's cloudy eyes gradually brightened when he looked at Ye Yu again, and then his eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of a smile and said: "Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, I never thought that my Qingliu County would be so handsome as Ye Gongzi!" ”

"Pan Lao is too famous! Even if the younger generation has the ability, it is not worthy of the title of Sun Jinbang! No matter how successful you are in business, you are just a businessman after all! ”

Ye Yu and Pan Yue glanced at each other, but even with that moment of eye contact, he couldn't feel the fluctuation of this old man Pan's feelings.

"Oh? Hehe......"

Ye Yu's words seemed to touch Pan Yue's mind, and then he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Ye Gongzi really has far-sighted ......."

"Oops! It's a pity! Gongzi Ye is extremely talented, and even my nephew can't sigh to himself, tsk! Now it's my nephew who has won the laurels! Ye Gongzi, at this moment, I don't know how you feel? ”

As soon as Pan Yue's words were finished, Pan Chengfeng taunted Ye Yu lukewarmly.

As soon as these words came out, the entire chief sitting down quietly, and Pan Yue said calmly and quietly: "Feng'er, don't be rude!" ”

When Ye Yu heard the double reed of the father and son, he suddenly felt speechless. Xindao: Is this old man Pan saying 'no rudeness'? Why did he listen to his tone without the slightest hint of reproach.

He really couldn't figure it out, he had no intention of provoking trouble, why did someone always have to entangle with him endlessly?

"Second uncle, if Brother Ye hadn't had a leg disease, his name would have been on the laurel list! Why do you slander so much? At this time, Pan Zhi felt that the second uncle intended to ridicule, so he spoke out to defend Ye Yu.

When Pan Chengfeng heard this, he pretended to be sorry and said: "Oh, it turns out that Ye Gongzi is a disabled person, hey! It's a shame! What a jealous talent! ”

"Second Uncle......"

"Where, when is your turn to speak here!?" Pan Chengfeng turned his head and scolded Pan Zhisuo, who was about to speak.
