[61] Meet

Ding Baozhen chatted with the three boys of the Li family for a while, and after listening to what happened to them on the road, he felt that Yao Fan was not surprised, and he was robbed by horse bandits, and he must have hated these illegal and chaotic phenomena.

But how did he know what the wild path was in Yao Fan's mind! That's another way to control chaos.

"I set the wine at night, to the three virtuous nephews and nieces to crush the dust and wash the dust, my family often comes over at night, you are good to gather, the new emperor is the holy family, he has a grace, next year will go to Shanxi as an alternate prefect, this time you will see him, next time you come back to Shandong, but you can't see him." Ding Baozhen said with a smile.

"As for that Yao Fan, since the two virtuous nephews think that this person is useful, then call him to accompany him tonight, and teach me to see if this person is three-headed or six-armed." Ding Baozhen finally said.

Li Jingxuan said softly: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he only sees one side, I am afraid that he will not be able to show his talent, if Uncle Ding asks for talent, he can be treated politely." ”

The more she said this, the softer her voice became, and after she finished speaking, her heart was pounding, and she was inexplicably shy.

Li Jingfang Li Jingshu didn't see any clues, but Ding Baozhen was very surprised, and said in his heart that this little girl is pregnant with spring? Is Yao Fan really a suave and dashing talent? Fall in love at first sight?

"Fu Bo, you go and tell the Yao family to come and ask him to go back, saying that our brother will invite him to dinner and wine tonight." Li Jingshu saw that Ding Baozhen agreed, so he commanded excitedly.

At this time, Yao Fan didn't know that there was a group of idlers talking about himself in the governor's yamen, so he ran back to the shop from Niangniang Temple with a suitcase in high spirits, found a brush, and carefully wrote down the usage and dosage of each drug according to the doctor's instructions, and which drugs were combined for each course of treatment. After writing, he asked the man to bring some paper bags, personally divided the medicines, put the paper strips into them, wrapped them in plastic bags, and wrapped them in thick kraft coarse paper, and tied them with fine twine.

Yao Fan was about to write a note to He Wannian, thinking about how to write it vaguely, even if it was revealed, it could not be used as evidence of the bandits, when Zhou Si came to report that the Li family invited him to dinner at the governor's yamen in the evening, and wanted to introduce him to an adult.

Zhou Si said excitedly: "Fu Bo said, I want the owner to dress up well, and there are nobles at night." As soon as I heard about it, I felt that this matter was too big for me to inquire about the price of the shop, so I hurried back to tell the owner that you know. ”

Yao Fan pinched his fingers and calculated, who could be regarded as a noble person by the three boys of the Li family, there was only Ding Baozhen in this Jinan Mansion.

"Oh, I see." Yao Fan nodded.

Zhou Si stood there for a while, and finally spoke again: "Fu Bo gave me a reward of ten taels of silver, the owner, this money ......."

Yao Fan smiled: "Take it, when will I deduct your reward." Fourth, you go and hire a car. ”

Zhou Si hurriedly said: "Yes, the owner, I will inquire about the price of the shop early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Si just went out here, and He Shicheng came in again: "The owner, the treasury has been checked, and the account books can be matched, but it's ......."

Yao Fan said impatiently: "What are you doing, say." ”

"The purchase price is high, I estimate, it's about two percent higher."

Yao Fan sneered: "This dog's ...... Shicheng, do you say your second master knows? ”

He Shicheng heard Yao Fan's tone was not good, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Don't be angry, my second master must not know!" This must be the third master's own ghost! ”

Yao Fan hurriedly helped him up and scolded: "Why can't you always change this problem of soft knees, when did I call you as a house slave?" Do you have to act like a slave to be angry with me? Besides, he He Wan has black money and has a fart relationship with you. ”

He Shicheng was grateful and said excitedly: "The owner is good to me, I remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

Boss, there's something I have to tell you. ”

"Say it."

"The owner, my third master used to be unorthodox, and he used to smoke a lot of cigarette paste, but then the master beat him so badly, he lay in bed for two months before he came down, and he was confined at home for two years, and then he quit. The second master asked him to come out to do things this time, because he wanted to help him, and now he has done such a shameless thing, if the second master knows, he is afraid that he will be angry and die. ”

Yao Fan thought about it, the Jinan branch is only a total of two thousand taels of operating fees, the He family really wants black money, and they will not start from this, He Wannian is in charge of the goods batch at the mouth of Qingdao, and he can get a little bit of card and some rebates or something. Yao Fan thought about He Wanyou's sick face again......

"Shicheng, I don't think He Wan's face is very good, yellow wax, you say he's sick? Or is it drawn again? ”

He Shicheng had long been suspicious of this, and now when Yao Fan asked, he immediately said: "I look at the third master's face, it is indeed not as good as at home, wilting like vegetables and melon seeds, just meet for a while, and sobbing from time to time." You don't know, you just finished talking to him in front of you, he wiped his face and went into the house again, I don't know what he was doing, we checked the library, he didn't come out to watch, and the door was closed tightly on a hot day. ”

"Ahem......" Yao Fan sighed, shook his head and said: "For the sake of your second master's face, I don't care about him, for the sake of some silver, I didn't hurt the good feelings between me and your second master." When I go back, I will write a letter to your second master, asking him to take care of it himself, and I will not participate in his family affairs. ”

He Shicheng said hatefully: "These third masters are not authentic, and the second master is still bothering to help him, phew!" As he spoke, he took a sip on the side.

Yao Fan scolded: "You are too unsophisticated, I am sleeping in this room, what are you talking about?" Hurry up, help me sort out the books, and the gifts, and prepare some of them, and when the fourth car is hired, you can move it, and I will go to visit the officials here in the evening. ”

He Shicheng wiped a handful of spit on his mouth, and hurriedly helped Yao Fan clean it up.

Yao Fan estimated that eighty percent of the people the Li family wanted to introduce to him were Ding Baozhen, and he didn't dare to slack off on an official like Ding Baozhen. This person is not only the highest official in Shandong at the moment, not to mention that this person is also the backbone of the current foreign affairs and far-reaching, and he is the number one protection # umbrella for Yao Fan to come to Jinan Mansion this time.

After preparing to stop, Yao Fan didn't wait for dark, and went directly to the governor's yamen.

After Yao Fan arrived, he ordered He Shicheng, who was accompanying him, to bring the gifts down and send them to the small door, and he handed over the prayer post to Menzi first, and went to the second hall to wait.

Menzi weighed it and knew that he had ten taels of silver stuffed in his hand, so he immediately took Yao Fan's post and went in to report it with satisfaction.

Yao Fan sat in the second hall and waited, looking at more than a dozen pots of various flowers in the shade of the courtyard, red, pink, yellow, white, and green leaves, which looked very good.

Yao Fan thought to himself, I heard that Ding Baozhen is quite honest, if this kind of person is not given him silver, he will never reach out to ask for it, but if he gives it to him, he will definitely accept it, and then if he entrusts it with something, whether he does it or not, what will happen depends on luck.

Just thinking about it, the Governor will be there in a while, and the subordinates in the yamen will also bring tea and put it on the table.

Yao Fan nodded to Menzi stupidly, and when Menzi saw that he was stupid, he hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and Yao Fan knew that he had to stand up and wait.

A moment later, Ding Baozhen came in, waved his hand, and retreated. Yao Fan saw that he was not wearing an official uniform, his head was bare, his steps were dignified, his dark blue thin silk gown was swaying, his long beard was white and his chest was upright, like a fortune teller. A pale and thin face looked solemn, because of his age, his eyelids drooped, but there was a fine light in the triangular gap, and he looked like a long-time man.

Yao Fan didn't dare to be as sloppy as he did with Sun Maowen and Wei Guofu this time, and when Ding Baozhen approached, Yao Fan made three deep gestures respectfully with student courtesy. Ding Baozhen didn't bother that Yao Fan didn't have a reputation but didn't kowtow, he probably felt that it was normal for these Westerners to have chaotic etiquette, so he just casually raised his hand and waved his fingers, and sat down in the center.

Yao Fan didn't know whether the old thing's waving hand was to signal him to sit down or something else, so he had to scold his mother in his heart, stood there and said with a smile: "Junior Yao Fan, meet Lord Ding, I have heard for a long time overseas that Lord Ding is the pillar of the country, and I can see it today, it is really a blessing for the younger generation, and when I am old in the future, I can also boast to my children and grandchildren, I have seen my best Shangguan in the Qing Dynasty in this life." ”

Ding Baozhen stroked his beard lightly: "You sit down, come and come, why bother to be polite, I see that among your gifts, there are quite a lot of books, this book is beautifully bound, the workmanship is exquisite, and the exquisite process is even more than the imperial collection of books. ”

Yao Fan heard that he didn't have any hypocrisy, so he went straight to the point, knowing in his heart that this was a pragmatic person, and it was useless to play vain with this kind of person. Immediately said: "My family has been fond of collecting books for generations, and Jia Yan has inherited this hobby, and after retiring from business, the more he loves compiling books, these books are all compiled for his own home pastime, and he doesn't dare to take them outside to show off, but the younger generation heard that Lord Ding has run Shangzhi Academy and is compiling books from all over the world, so he thought, if I can do a little bit, I will definitely make adults happy." ”

Ding Baozhen glanced at Yao Fan when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, I am really happy to read these books, compiling books is an elegant matter, but also a hard work, Ling Zun is willing to compile books, you are willing to dedicate books, it is a righteous act for the benefit of the country and the people, and the merit is in the future." Such an act that is beneficial to the country, do not want to figure out whether the official appreciates it or not, and should continue to do it for a long time. ”

Yao Fan said: "The younger generation is willing to follow the teachings of adults, and they will definitely tell Jiayan when they go back in the future." ”

Ding Baozhen nodded, and said: "I saw that you sent a lot of foreign snacks, all wrapped in gold paper and packed in crystal boxes, which are too luxurious, and the snacks are probably very expensive, right?" ”

Yao Fan said: "It is the royal snack of the Italian royal family, called Ferrero, which is cumbersome to make, wrapped in chocolate crispy wafers, covered with high-grade hazelnuts, and needs to be stored in a cool and dry place. This is the younger generation ordered the family to travel thousands of miles by sea, just to honor the adult, if the adult likes to eat, I am full of joy, silver or something The younger generation did not take it to heart. ”

Ding Baozhen laughed with satisfaction, thinking, "This Yao Fan blindly flatters, he must have a plan." The smuggling incident that Hu Zhen said the day before yesterday seems to be very serious, and he will not be wronged at all. ”

"I heard that the three children of the Li family respect you very much, saying that you are proficient in Western studies, and I am currently running the Shandong Machinery Bureau, which is at the time of employing people. I originally asked you to come over at night and eat with the three children of the Li family, and I also listened to your overseas experience, since you came early, there must be something, right? ”

Yao Fan thought, I coincidentally took advantage of the three boys of the Li family to catch Ding Baozhen's line this time, but I saved myself from recklessly throwing posts and gifts everywhere, so I can't miss this opportunity! As the saying goes, if you can't bear the child to trap the wolf, this time you will have a blood at once.
