The knock on the door sounded, and Yan Shifan's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the restaurant on Zhengyangmen Street, hurriedly put on a mask, stabilized his mind, and said, "Come in." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The East Building (Yan Shifan) is indeed very interested, and after a major event, you can still have leisure and elegance to invite Chu to a banquet on Zhengyangmen Street, which is really a hero. “

In the future, before the shopkeeper could take it, outsiders had already walked into the private room and talked to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifanchao's shopkeeper made a look, let the shopkeeper withdraw, and turned to smile and said, "Brother Sibi, don't tease Shifan." “

The person who came Chu Chengyin (the word Sibi), the Ministry of Industry and the Qing official Shi Langzhong, is responsible for the estimation and repair of the altar temple, the palace, the city wall, and the government office, all related to the imperial court project, can not bypass Chu Chengyin. And Chu Chengyin is one of Yan Song's protégés left in the Ministry of Industry, and has a close relationship with the Yan family of the Yan Mansion.

Chu Chengyin did not take the stubble, but was quite anti-guest and let Yan Shifan sit in the tea room of the private room, looking at Yan Shifan with blazing eyes, waiting for Yan Shifan to speak.

Yan Shifan secretly said in his heart, needless to say, Chu Chengyin's attitude is to pretend to be as if he is dedicated to the Holy Son of Heaven and his teacher Yan Song, and he does not mince words about himself, the second ancestor, and his father really raised some good subordinates, and even this kind of trick between the "Son of Heaven" and the "Prince" is well controlled.

"Brother Sibi, please ask for trouble today, not for anything else, but because of some mistakes in the previous days of my building, the interior beams were misplaced, and the wall paint was not attached, which needed to be repaired by a fine craftsman. Yan Shifan raised his hand to serve Chu Chengyin with a cup of tea, which can be regarded as recognizing Chu Chengyin's high attitude, "Shifan has never been involved in the fortifications, and the previous building repair was also pretended to be manpower, and he was behind the scenes, so he never did it himself." This repair is very important to Shifan, and my father said that Brother Sibi is the most enlightened about this business, and he hopes that Brother Sibi will recommend it on his behalf. “

Yan Shifan's words were sincere, and he didn't hide too much privacy, Chu Chengyin didn't want to refute Yan Shifan's face too much, after all, Yan Song was still there, even if he knew that he was concentrating on Yan Song without pretense about Yan Shifan, but the son inherited his father's shadow, and some things still needed to be taken care of.

Thinking about it, Chu Chengyin agreed: "Donglou, it's not too difficult to introduce this matter." Needless to say, last year's repair of the Temple of Heaven (Hall of Prayer) was indeed a lot of builders. In recent years, the management of craftsmen has not been as good as before, and many craftsmen have been recruited by businessmen for private use, and those who have a background dare to mix with the projects of the Ministry of Industry. But the Ministry of Industry is also helpless, after all, the craftsman has been out of his nationality, and the report to the saint is because of the noble behind it, and now the noble is very generous, laissez-faire, so it has become today's situation. Otherwise, Chu alone can arrange for this repair to be done for you.

"There are two builders under the command of craftsmen who are highly skilled and ingenious. Jingxi Qiao's family, his family does not know where it came from, but in recent years, it has been closely related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Communications, and has done a lot of projects, and the momentum is positive, I don't know who is really in charge but has remained immovable in the face of many storms and rains, and the background is mysterious; “

"What Brother Sibi said is good, Shifan is also concerned about this matter, and is worried about visiting alone, so he wants to ask Brother Sibi for introduction. Yan Shifan said.

Chu Chengyin nodded silently and said: "Donglou is good, Qiao and Cheng seem to have forces behind the two merchants, and they are arrogant to outsiders, that is, Chu has accumulated some friendship with the people of the two families through the engineering of the Great Enjoyment Hall and the official clothes of the Ministry of Engineering. The East Building is going to give Chu a problem today, and the attitude of the East Building is to be agreed today, but now that it is almost noon, it is a little inappropriate to rashly invite, right? “

Yan Shifan should claim to say: "What Brother Sibi said is true, so Shifan made his own opinion, and invited the two families to go to the restaurant for a banquet at two o'clock in the afternoon today, and asked Brother Sibi to help him at that time." “

Chu Chengyin was a little annoyed that Yan Shifan was acting in his own name, but looking at the posture he put down, it was inconvenient to reproach, and after a little muttering, he responded: "Chu did his best." However, Chu Mou asked himself that he didn't have such a big face that the two people's personalities would be summoned immediately, if they only sent their deacons, would Donglou Ji be released?"

Yan Shifan replied with a smile indifferently: "This matter involves a lot, and it is inconvenient for Shifan to answer now." But it will never be detrimental to Brother Sibi, let alone Brother Sibi's reputation. ”

Chu Chengyin was a little suspicious of where Yan Shifan's self-confidence came from, could it be that his mentor Yan Song had greeted Qiao and Cheng? No, now Xia Yan is sharp and wants to take Yan Song, Yan Song will definitely not have too many open actions at this time to give Xia Yan a handle. The most important thing for Yan Song at present is to guard against Xia Yan's offensive, and not to help Yan Shifan in these places that seem to have little to do with the overall situation.

The knock sounded again, Yan Shifan and Chu Chengyin glanced at each other, got up one after another, and Yan Shifan said, "Please come in." ”

I saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, six feet long (Ming ruler), black hair delicately wrapped in a purple and gold crown, and a handsome face walked into the house under the escort of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and greeted Chu Chengyin and said: "Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much." Why are you so interested today, giving up the mundane affairs of the government to come to this Zhengyangmen for luncheon?"

Chu Chengyin coughed dryly and cleared his throat, and welcomed the future into the tea house, and said with a warm face: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, today Chu Mou was entrusted to introduce a business to the virtuous brother." ”

Chu Chengyin paused slightly, pointed his finger at Yan Shifan and said: "This is Yan Deqiu, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who built a pavilion in Yongfang, Dashi in Beijing, and intends to repair it. ”

"Dare to ask, but Yan Gongzi, the owner of the building this month, is in front of him? In the next Songting, Yan Gongzi's name is really thunderous today!"

Yan Shifan's heart was a little calm, but Chu Chengyin was a little surprised, this Cheng Songting is the son of the head of the Cheng family, he is very favored, and he has always been above the top, but just this is a name reported in person, and Cheng Songting has a lot of admiration for Yan Shifan.

Chu Chengyin didn't know that in the past two days, Yan Shifan's reputation has spread all over the officials and businessmen in Beijing -- daring to hold a grand meeting to teach the world's number one master to fold the halberd, and daring to lead the factory to guard the face of Huiyu Villa, which is really prestigious. Cheng Songting, as a senior member of the businessman, just heard that the long-famous Fifth Tao on the rivers and lakes was introduced into Yan Shifan, and he was so angry that he was angry, and at this moment he learned that Yan Shifan, the most admired "chivalrous man" in the past two days, was sitting in front of him, where could he suppress his emotions.

A faint smile flashed at the corner of Yan Shifan's mouth, what he arranged for the attendants of this Yuelou to do after coming out of Huiyu Qianzhuang yesterday was really unintentional, but he wanted to create some momentum for himself in the real circle of the second ancestor, so that these perennial nobody's eyes could not inadvertently wander around Yongfang in the mixed world of fish and dragons in the past few days, and caused trouble in Jinyue Building. Unexpectedly, Cheng Songting was cultivated as a follower.

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." I didn't give up, and I added some false fame, thinking that if I was Cheng Gongzi, my achievements would not be under Shifan. ”
