The Seventh Discussion of the River Governance Xia Yan Talks about Repairing the World and Asking for People (5)

Yan Shifan said modestly: "Cheng Gongzi is a young courtesy, Shifan has just done some extraordinary, which is not worthy of praise from the world." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info has not given up, added some false name, thinking that if it is Cheng Gongzi, his achievements are not under the world. ”

This sentence is faceless and skinless, but it is the softness of Cheng Songting's heart, a heroic man talks softly to himself, and he is so modest, Cheng Songting wants to report to his father now and go to Jinyuelou to report to join as soon as he declares it, even if it is good to be a doorman.

Chu Chengyin looked at Cheng Songting with a look of ecstasy, and sighed in his heart, the head of the Cheng family sent Cheng Songting, a gentleman who had an empty title to lead the talker, originally intended to refuse more decently for the sake of friendship. But now he is blinded by Yan Shifan's words and can't find the north, and when it goes without saying that Yan Shifan will mention the repair to Cheng Songting, Cheng Songting must be full of promises. And if Cheng Songting agrees, with his identity as the person who speaks, the Cheng family can only pinch their noses and accept this reluctant business.

Sure enough, Yan Shifan had a few words of backlash, and Cheng Songting suddenly felt that he hated seeing Yan Daxia late, and he was in a posture of dying for his confidant.

And just as Yan Shifan was leading back to the repair, the knock on the door sounded for the third time: "Wow!"

Cheng Songting shouted impatiently: "Who, get in, if it weren't for the big thing, the master wanted you to look good today!"

"Cheng Songting, are you sure you want to get in?"

The three people in the room followed the sound and opened their eyes, only to see a young man wearing a white cloak and a jade black silk and gold ribbon around his waist, and his eyes were shining brightly, surrounded by two attendants.

Cheng Songting immediately felt like a ghost: "Qiao Yiyi, why are you here?"

Qiao Peiyi ignored Cheng Songting, and said to Chu Chengyin politely: "Brother Sibi, it's been a long time. ”

Chu Chengyin also bowed to Qiao Peiyi, and introduced Yan Shifan in a loud voice: "Ziqi (Qiao Peiyi), this is Yan Deqiu, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. ”

Qiao Yiyi didn't react as much as Cheng Songting when he heard this, but a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were sharp at Yan Shifan.

Chu Chengyin saw Qiao Peiyi's attitude, and his mind, which was still a little nervous, relaxed, Qiao Peiyi is a side child of the Qiao family in Jingbei, but he has become one of the people who talk about things by his own means, and he has always been arrogant and arrogant. Qiao Yiyi should not have received instructions from higher-level people to make a clear posture now, and it is normal to look like an objective wait-and-see.

Yan Shifan didn't show any ill feelings towards Qiao Peiyi's attitude, welcomed him into the table and sat down, instructed the shopkeeper, and informed him that he could start serving the food and start the banquet. After a short time, a table of wine and food is ready.

As today's guest of honor, Qiao Peiyi sat in the north, while Yan Shifan and Chu Chengyin sat on the left and right, as for Cheng Songting, he rejected the proposal to let him sit next to Qiao Peiyi, and insisted on sitting at the bottom.

Qiao Baiyi was very direct and said straight to the point: "Brother Donglou, I don't know how much the repair price is?"

Yan Shifan smiled indifferently and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”

"So much? Yan Gongzi, my old Cheng family has always been a fool of Tong Suo, but it is just to repair a building, and three thousand taels are stopped. Cheng Songting interjected very unceremoniously and blocked Qiao Yiyi, who was about to answer.

Qiao Yiyi's eyebrows froze, and he instantly let go, sighed and said: "This cousin has been spoiled too much since he was a child, and he also asked Brother Yan and Brother Chu to take care of it." ”

Yan Shifan and Chu Chengyin glanced at each other when they heard this, and exchanged doubts in their eyes - the Qiao family and the Cheng family should be opponents as mentioned above, and Chu Chengyin knew that the two families had a bloody weapon fight because of the competition for craftsmen, so why did the two families suddenly talk about each other

actually involved in the cousin relationship.

And Qiao Baiyi's sentence contains more than these, 10,000 taels of silver is about 12,000 stones of rice, I don't know how much the total income of the middle house, if it is used to buy four or five hundred catties of live pigs with fat, it can buy thousands of heads, and it is even enough to buy a large mansion of five or six in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. And the hints in Qiao Baiyi's language seem to have some rejection, and they must not be considered from the perspective of business offering.

"No hindrance, Cheng Xiaogongzi is lively by nature, and Chu Mou yearns for such a pure heart. Chu Chengyin hurriedly spoke, and Qiao Yiyi seemed to want to talk about his words left and right.

Yan Shifan continued to ask very cooperatively: "Is Ziqi satisfied with Yan's offer?"

Qiao Peiyi turned his head behind him, and the two attendants who stood immediately understood, flashed out of the private room, closed the door, and guarded the sides.

After Qiao Yiyi waited for the attendant to complete his actions, he slowly spoke: "It's not that Brother Donglou's price is not satisfied, but it is actually Brother Donglou's Jinyuelou who doesn't know anyone in the small circle of this capital recently. This thing has always been the old man of my family to make a decision to pass, and now my ancestor is out to travel, and my Qiao family does not accept all projects except for the Ministry of Industry. Please also ask Brother Donglou to be considerate. ”

Yan Shifan was stunned when he heard these two reasons, and still asked unwillingly: "Dare to ask when your ancestor will return?"

Cheng Songting sighed "first": "Alas, this is not accurate, the old man of the Qiao family is fluttering like a fairy, and there is no season of travel that cannot be returned." ”

Glancing at Qiao Yiyi, whose face did not change, Cheng Songting continued: "According to me, the craftsman of my old Cheng family is also one top one, and three thousand taels are guaranteed to be done!"

Several people looked at Cheng Songting with an excited face speechlessly.

Qiao Peiyi poured a full cup for himself, and poured a full cup for Yan Shifan, and said apologetically: "Actually, with Peiyi's thoughts, Brother Donglou's business is to be done, but in addition to the fact that the ancestor is not in Beijing, there is another thing that the family uncle is worried about." ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Shifan and Chu Chengyin asked at the same time.

Qiao Yiyi sprinkled some wine from the wine glass on the table, tapped it with his fingertips, and wrote down the word "Yan".
