Chapter 25 Openness and honesty

Fenglin Restaurant, right next to the ferry, is a regular place for Bianliang to welcome guests and send friends.

Today, he was booked by Yuan Xiannian, the anecdote of the Ministry of Justice, saying that he was a banquet for important guests. This guest was Chen Shou, the hot-selling loyal and brave Bo in the capital.

It was said that I had booked it, but there were really few people accompanying guests today, only the Yuan family and the son.

In the private room, there is a carved purple lacquer table, and the walls are surrounded by famous calligraphy and paintings. The arrangement is very elegant and unique. After all, it is at the foot of the emperor, and the atmosphere is different from other places.

"Sir!"

Yuan Xiannian and his son were very happy. Obviously, they didn't expect that Chen Shou would really come and give him enough face.

And this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you make good use of it, it will be better than ten years of hard study and decades of Pan-Pak settlement plan.

Chen Shou made a rough calculation about the delicious food on the table. Yuan Xiannian, the official official of the Ministry of Justice, had almost gone out for a month.

When rituals are given to others, you will have something to ask for. Chen Shou knew what to do when he walked on Malantai and Piaopeng Capital, but just seeking an official position.

Two maids from somewhere from the meal served each other, wearing light flower embroidered jackets, purple silk skirts underneath, a lotus scarf with a slim waist, beautiful eyes and charming faces, serving in front and behind with spring, serving fresh fruits, vegetables, delicious food and wine like flowing water.

Both maids have a unique temperament, not like ordinary maids. However, they lower their eyebrows and look very well-behaved. Chen Shou made a secret change to the Yuan family's family's family. If they were to give gifts in a while, would they squeeze them more?

Behind the screen, there were several musicians playing silk and bamboo orchestras. The sound was neither far nor near, and it would not affect the conversation, nor could it hear the conversation between the gentlemen. The distance was extremely safe.

Chen Shou was sixty-four, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Accusation Yuan, Ling Zun came to Beijing from his hometown. We are all juniors. Let's do this. I'll give a glass to the elderly."

Yuan's father was gray-haired and energetic. The father and son were very similar, with a shrewd and powerful spirit in his eyes. He immediately pushed his hands and smiled, "You can't be called, you can't be called, you can't be called, you can't be called, you can't be called, you should respect the loyal and brave uncle for a cup."

Chen Shou held him down, gave him enough face, and toasted a glass of wine.

Yuan Xiannian's heart fell to the ground, and his eyes changed when he looked at Chen Shou. This young man really had the demeanor of accomplishing great things and was brave in encountering things. He had the courage to fight with Wei Yunse and Yao Baobao, and could also make a fuss and win people's hearts.

Chen Shou laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'm not from Kaifeng Prefecture," he said.

"Haha, our father and son are from Linfen, Hedong, and the Yuan family in Baibogu."

Chen Shou's heart moved. There were many powerful people everywhere in Hedong.

The Yuan family in Baibo Valley said that it was at least a prominent family, no wonder they wanted to entertain themselves.

Yuan's father suddenly sighed and said, "Baibo Valley is on the bank of the Fenshui River. This autumn flood, both sides of the river have flooded. The old man has nowhere to go, so he can only go to the capital to join his son. Along the way, only Master Zhang Zhengyuan sent by Zhongyong Bo to provide relief to the victims and save the place. So I will do whatever I say about this glass of wine. I will respect Zhongyong Bo with a cup of 160,000 people in Baibo Valley.

Chen Shou hurriedly said he didn't dare and said, "The flood situation in Hedong is concerned about my heart, which is also the matter of the emperor. I just hope that the weather will be good, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe."

Yuan Xiannian clapped his hands, gently stood up with a maid, and pulled the curtain to both sides.

The court was a little dim for a moment. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Zhang Zhengyuan, recruiting soldiers in Hedong, is under the banner of Yanqing Temple. Everyone knows that Yanqing Temple is a loyal and brave uncle. Is this what you mean?"

Chen Shou nodded. There was nothing to hide at this time, and the Yuan family clearly wanted to cooperate.

He was about to speak, but his eyes looked at the two beauties, indicating whether they wanted them to avoid it.

Yuan Xiannian smiled and said, "It's okay if you say it's my two nieces, my bloodline inheritance."

Chen Shou immediately accused him and said, "I didn't expect it to be the young lady of the Yuan family. Why did she pour wine and dish on the side and come up and sit down quickly."

Yuan Xiannian smiled and said, "It is their blessing to be able to serve Zhongyong Bo. Zhongyong Bo, but it doesn't matter."

Chen Shou nodded, owed his body a little, and said to Yuan’s father: “I have indeed instructed what Zhang Zhengyuan did in Hedong. What do you think of?”

Yuan's father smiled and said, "Brother Zhongyong, I haven't read for a few years. I'm stupid and straightforward. I hope you don't care. Zhang Zhengyuan has the means and courage, but a strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. In that place in Hedong, you can't eat it with means. On the surface, Hedong is now in chaos, but in fact the vitality of the major families has not been hurt at all. The White Lotus Sect bandits are just refugees.

If the loyal and brave Bo really wants to Hedong, my Yuan family is willing to work hard for everyone!”

Chen Shou was silent for a while, and both father and son looked at him with a smile. After a while, Chen Shou said, "Do you like me or Xiliang behind me?"

Yuan Xiannian smiled very cheerfully, "Boy Zhongyong is quick to speak quickly, but I didn't expect to be even more straightforward than my father. Let's say it clearly, we all like it. The troubled times are coming, and no one can stop them. A discerning person can see clearly. Boy Zhongyong is backed by Xiliang, deeply admires the holy heart, controls the inner court, and has strong soldiers ambushed in Bianliang. Choosing the master and serving in the troubled times is a wise move. Our Yuan family is betting on this!"

It is clear that people speak so happily. After a little test, there is no concealment at all.

Chen Shou enjoyed this feeling very much. Everyone was open and honest, and chose the pros and cons. If they didn't work, they would be separated.

"What can you give me?" Chen Shou asked.

Yuan’s father was obviously the head of the Yuan family. At this time, Yuan Xiannian stopped talking. Yuan’s father said, “If Baibogu is helping him in Hedong, Zhang Shiyuan will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, in the future, the troops stationed here will be a central place that can radiate to Hedong and overlook the Central Plains. If there are elite cavalry starting from Baibogu, the road is smooth, and the fast horse can reach the city of Bianliang in three days!”

Chen Shou clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come on, let's have this cup together!"

The three of them raised their wine glasses together, and Chen Shou drank them all in one go. The Yuan family father and son looked at it and all raised their heads to drink.

Chen Shou said: "You have been in the position of the Ministry of Justice for too long, so you probably don't value Wei Yunse."

"Our Baibo Valley and the Jiang family in Longmenshan are enemies. Jiang Chucai is a lackey under Wei Yunse, so he suppresses me to death. However, their Jiang family is in Hedong, so he may not dare to step beyond the line."

"So that's it." Chen Shou said: "Some time ago, the Tang people went north to attack my navy, which aroused the anger of Your Majesty. I am going to recommend to Your Majesty that you will be the envoy to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the matter is completed, you can be promoted to the title. Do you want to go?"
