Yan Shifan glanced at Qiao Baiyi deeply, and did not speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Chu Chengyin opened his mouth and asked, "Gong Qiao will also have some scruples about the current cabinet?"

Qiao Peiyi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the first man is resuming, according to the previous experience of dealing with the first one, he will inevitably take measures to restrain businessmen like us who compete with the government for profit. ”

Cheng Songting seemed to suddenly understand something, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, Yan Gongzi, my cousin has a few truths in this matter." Yan Gongzi should ask another master. ”

Yan Shifan was a little surprised by Cheng Songting's sudden change in attitude, and looked at Chu Chengyin with a little doubt, Chu Chengyin shook his head helplessly, and explained loudly: "Cheng Xiaogongzi once mentioned to Chu that his family has an old relationship with the Marquis of Wuding. ”

Yan Shifan suddenly realized that the Marquis of Wuding can be traced back to Guo Ying, the general who followed Zhu Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and has always been a highly valued family in the noble circle. It's just that Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, once framed Xia Yanxing, was later found out by Jiajing, Xia Yan was naturally reinstated, and Guo Xun was sent to Jinyiwei Prison, and died in prison after a year of imprisonment. Therefore, the Xungui circle has always avoided Xia Yan, and Cheng Songting is "late to see things", and the general will remember the advice of the adults in the family.

Yan Shifan thought about it and couldn't help but look a little gloomy, this repair of this moon building is just as Yan Song said, you are an opportunity to start the signboard again and save face, and it is also a test for Yan Song to himself, with Yan Song's influence in Beijing, he will not know the attitude of these two merchants, but he still leads himself in this direction, which must have its significance.

Qiao Yiyi saw Yan Shifan's face turn cold, and said comfortingly: "Brother Donglou don't worry, there is actually room for reversal in this matter, if the ancestor can return to Beijing in the near future, Qiu Yi will definitely introduce Brother Donglou, although I dare not guarantee that it will be done, but there is an ancestor in charge, and there will be people who will carry the pressure from the cabinet." ”

Yan Shifan expressed his gratitude, but he did not delve further into this topic, and talked about the dishes of this restaurant and the recent aging wine, and talked about the way of wine tasting with Qiao Peiyi, but it was also quite speculative. Cheng Songting and Chu Chengyin both interjected from time to time to chat briefly, but they were more concentrating on eating.

Just when a picture of the guests and the host seemed to be happy, there was a sudden noise outside the door of the private room.

"Who?

"You house slaves, get out of the way for my son!"

Waiting outside the door was Qiao Baiyi's attendant, Qiao Baiyi heard someone speak disrespectfully to his attendant, so he was naturally annoyed, and said loudly: "I don't know where my friend, dare to come in and let's talk about it?"

"Why don't you dare?" followed the voice of a middle-aged man with a domineering appearance, with some traces of hoarfrost on both temples, obviously a person who was a little "disrespectful to the old".

Cheng Songting bounced up from his seat again, and dodged behind Qiao Yiyi.

"Cousin, don't hide behind, brother, I want to thank you for introducing such a good business to my brother. This is Yan Gongzi, who has heard of the name for a long time! Yan Gongzi's Jinyue Building must have wanted to be repaired after the battle the day before yesterday, right? No problem, my Cheng family's top craftsmen are on standby at any time, waiting for demolition, you just have to make a price. The man, who seemed to be Cheng Songting's cousin, was not polite, walked into the room and sat down, picked up the wine glass that he didn't know who it was, and drank it to himself.

Cheng Songting was about to say something to fight back, but he was held down by Qiao Yiyi, and after thinking about it, he stopped speaking.

Yan Shifan felt a trace of disgust in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure, but said with some thorns in his words: "This friend came from nowhere and suddenly broke into my friend's banquet, what is his intention?"

"It's Cheng Songying, the cousin of that little kid over there. is the Cheng family's talker-elect, and he is also a person who can make ideas. A certain rough person is just here to have a good relationship with Yan Gongzi. Dahan still said unceremoniously.

Yan Shifan said: "Cheng Gongzi, the banquet here is just a private banquet set up by Shifan to entertain friends, and it has nothing to do with any business or business, presumably Cheng Gongzi's news is wrong, right?"

Cheng Songying glanced at Cheng Songting angrily, and said angrily: "I know, Yan Gongzi doesn't look down on a vulgar person like me, no matter what, others can't smile at each other." So-and-so is gone!"

Yan Shifan said: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”

Cheng Songying threatened Cheng Songting in a cold voice: "I'll talk to you when I go home!"

After that, Cheng Songying thought that he was so abrupt when he appeared, so he disappeared from the private room and the restaurant. Only a few people in the private room and the two attendants at the door of the private room looked at each other with the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Chu Chengyin broke the silence and said, "Don't be disturbed by this unknown person. I'll go on, shopkeeper, and change all the utensils on the table. ”

After some arrangements, several people entered the table again, and Cheng Songting spoke first: "Yan Gongzi, Songting has decided, my Cheng family should do the repair this time! Even if my father does not agree, Songting will also summon the best craftsmen to repair and improve this moon building for Yan Gongzi!"

Yan Shifan was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his glass and said: "In this case, Yan will thank Cheng Xiaogongzi!"

The big event has been decided, the interference has been eliminated, the banquet naturally continues, the dazzling dishes flow like water, and the aged bamboo leaves in the jar have quickly bottomed out, and several people present are slightly drunk.

Yan Shifan, Qiao Peiyi and Cheng Songting also praised each other, but they also had a good grasp, and saw that Cheng Songting's mouth was already a little unfavorable, so he glanced at Chu Chengyin, Chu Chengyin immediately understood, and said that there were still some matters to be handled by the official office in the afternoon, indicating that the banquet should be over.

After another farewell greeting, Qiao Peiyi walked out of the restaurant with Cheng Songting in his arms, although the two were a little drunk, but their steps were not slow, and they disappeared in the vast crowd of Zhengyangmen after a while.

Qiao Peiyi glanced back at the restaurant, and said to Cheng Songting in a strange tone: "My cousin's favor is selling well, Yan Shifan will have to admit it even if he notices it, my cousin is really confident in the Yan family." ”

Cheng Songting was no longer immature at this moment, revealing a deep appearance of an old man seeking a country, and said: "Isn't your old man more aware of this?

Qiao Baiyi smiled bitterly: "If my old man is interested in politics, where can this cabinet have these people sitting in the village." The old man has no clear attitude towards the Xia and Yan families, otherwise the foolish brother would have already responded to the repair of this month's building, where is your turn. ”

Cheng Songting raised his eyebrows conceitedly: "That is, you must be decisive when you should place a bet." This Xia Yan revolted and directly proposed the matter of the river loop, and the emperor compromised and allowed him to do something on the river, with his character, he will inevitably pay for corruption, and when the time comes, the crackdown will be expanded, and the emperor will speak for Xia Yan, the so-called law does not blame the public, Xia Yan does not seem to have understood this truth. ”

Qiao Yiyi gently patted the back of Cheng Songting's head: "You think too much." I'll go to Jingxi with you later, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. ”

Just when Qiao Peiyi and the others were leaving, Yan Shifan, who was still standing in the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, said to Chu Chengyin with a playful face: "This little son of the Cheng family is a little interesting. ”

Chu Chengyin was a little puzzled when he heard this, but seeing that his task today had been completed, he didn't want to do too much entanglement, so he kept silent.

Yan Shifan glanced at Chu Chengyin behind him, and shook his head slightly, as if he was still a little dissatisfied with Chu Chengyin's attitude.
