Chapter 86: Turning Your Hands Over the Clouds and Covering the Rain (2)
Chen Yue didn't pay much attention to it. After waiting for a while, someone came out to lead him in.
In fact, the original plan had been discussed, and he came here today just to tell the things that were ready.
The magistrate Li Dingchen stood on the steps and waited. Seeing Chen Yue coming over and walking down two steps to welcome him, there were rules in the officialdom, and not everyone could hold a high position like Fu Bi who was waiting for the full court. It was very difficult for Li Dingchen to be able to move down to the ranks when facing Chen Yue's white body. Chen Yue smiled and bowed to the tribute, and the two walked into the room to see Fan Zhongyan.
Fan Zhongyan was reviewing the documents, but he did not perform any false rituals. He just reached out to make a "sitting" position, and then looked down at the documents on the table.
Chen Yue found a chair and sat down, and a private official brought the tea to him.
Li Dingchen dismissed and went out. When he went out, he looked at the boy in his twenties in front of him. When he had contacted Xizilou, he had revealed some news about his boss, but he just said that he was a family named Chen. There were many wealthy families in the city, and he knew many restaurant industries at home, but he never expected that it was such a scene made by a young man alone. Not to mention that in the past or two months, this young man has actually been wandering among the old and senior officials in Hangzhou. It can be said that his shadow can be seen everywhere in the entire disaster relief plan, which makes him sigh.
Li Dingchen was originally from the same Jinshi and had countless amazing talents. However, without a few years of training in the officialdom, his words and actions were nothing more than empty talk. He did not expect that the Chen family in Fenghuangxiang could teach a child who was very skilled in personal relationships. However, this is a good thing for him. He is only thirty years old and has a Jinshi, so he has some ambitions to move forward. At present, it seems that the other party and himself will never have any conflicts in interests, and making a good relationship will also be a helper. Moreover, Fan Zhongyan is in his twilight years. If he can really achieve some results in this disaster relief, he will benefit the most in a few years. Thinking of this, he did not take it seriously for Fan Zhongyan to keep Chen Yue alone but not him.
Chen Yue had met several people in the government office many times before, and he also revealed some of his own details to them. He wanted to have his own request, and as their identity, he would not go out to go out at will, but I don’t know if anyone would say anything to his grandfather. Seeing the friendship between Xu Ke and Lu Da and his grandfather, he was really a little worried.
"Shang Wen," Fan Zhongyan finished reading the document in his hand at this time, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yue and said, "Has the things I said before been done?"
Chen Yue came back to his senses, put down the teacup and replied, "Everything is ready."
"But it makes people see clearly?" Fan Zhongyan rubbed his eyebrows with his hands tiredly, and then asked.
"When I entered the city, I asked someone to put it in wooden barrels and walk with the cover and exposed rice. When I passed by the downtown area, I 'inadvertently' poured two barrels. I guess this matter has spread."
"Well, that's great. Later I went to send the rice out myself. It's shameful to say that I claimed to be honest all my life, but I didn't expect that when I was old, I would deceive the people all over the city. Shang Wen, your move is very insulting, haha!" Fan Zhongyan laughed and stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard under his jaw, looking a little happy.
Chen Yue nodded and said, "A few days ago, he was talking to Master Cangde that Buddhism believes that there must be results. Grain merchants are unkind and planted the previous cause. We just let them get the results of karma earlier, not only not insidious damage. On the contrary, this is the right way!"
Fan Zhongyan shook his head and said with a smile: "You little boy can hide Wenfuji and Xizilou from everyone, and he also thinks that he knows how to keep a low profile. Why do you always feel so rude when you say something to you? Cangde came to me the day before yesterday, saying that you used the words of the Fifth Patriarch to teach him a lesson as a junior."
With Cangde's efforts, various temples have made a lot of money and food for disaster relief. Of course, these are all used for large-scale construction. Not to mention that they were originally acquaintances, there was nothing incomprehensible even if they were received by Fan Zhongyan and others just because of this.
Chen Yue scratched his head. It was hotter but he still had a long hair. He muttered, "I'll give Cangde a huge favor, but he's embarrassed to sue me for my blackness."
"He came to me to get your black figure, but he found the wrong person," Fan Zhongyan laughed, "Guess how Lu Yuanshan would come back to him?"
"It's not a good thing." Chen Yue rolled his eyes, but he didn't let Fan Zhongyan see it.
"Lu Yuanshan said that when he saw you next time, he had to call Chen Xishan, and he could teach you a lesson as a grandson. Haha!"
Chen Yue turned his head and picked up the teacup and drank it to hide his embarrassment. No matter his past and present life, he always had a special respect for the elders close to his family. After a while, he turned around and said, "I wonder what happened to Mr. Fan in the city?"
Speaking of the important matter, Fan Zhongyan looked a little short and said, "Your jade plaque in Xizi Tower has indeed played a role. The wealthy families in the city donated a total of 87,000 stagnants of silver. Now each family wants to keep remaining wealth in case of accidents, but it is impossible to force it."
Chen Yue raised his eyebrows while drinking tea and looked at Fan Zhongyan: "I will ask that old man Lu Yuanshan to be a grandson to scold me, and I will have a way to raise another 50,000 yuan."
Fan Zhongyan knew that he was telling a joke, but his face turned solemnly, and he raised the airs of his elders and said, "Shangwen can't speak nonsense. Lu Yuanshan can be considered your elders. What kind of morality is it that you have no big or small!"
Chen Yue laughed and claimed the crime, and Fan Zhongyan had no choice but to do anything about him. After contacting him during this period, he also knew that Chen Yue did not like to discipline himself. It is useless for outsiders to act like an elder in front of him. If it were others, it would be fine. But this guy had made a lot of plans for disaster relief. Fortunately, he was not a pedantic person. Chen Yue did not care too much about getting along with them as a peer. Now he is used to it. However, he can still keep his junior identity in front of others, which makes people unable to find any fault.
This is also a little struggle for Chen Yue. He is very unaccustomed to the fact that he is a senior citizen based on his age and position. Of course, he still has a good attitude he should have on weekdays. When others are there, he will also keep his junior identity.
"It's okay if you don't let me teach you a lesson. If you don't listen to the way to raise money, you will regret it." Chen Yue intends to keep it a secret.
Fan Zhongyan had thought Chen Yue was telling the joke, but when he saw him mention it again. Judging from his understanding these days, he knew that he must have been confident and was about to ask questions. Two people walked in outside the door. One on the left was Lu Da, and the one on the right was not someone else, but Chen Yue's grandfather Chen Yan!
Chen Yan was stunned when he saw Chen Yue in Fan Zhongyan's room and asked, "How are you here?"
When Chen Yue saw his grandfather coming in, he was shocked. After a while, he found that he was still sitting in a big manner. He jumped up quickly and started to greet the two of them properly.
Lu Da was not surprised and asked, "What is Shang Wen's way to raise money just now? Who else should I teach you a lesson? I'll make the decision with you."
Fan Zhongyan looked at Chen Yan and Lu Da, then looked at Chen Yue's appearance, trying to hold back his laughter with his demeanor, his face turned red, his mouth twitched constantly, and finally he couldn't bear it, and suddenly a hearty laugh broke out. (To be continued...)
