Beiping, Xicheng.

There is a saying in the Sijiu City, the four nine cities in Beijing, which means rich in the east and noble in the west, poor in the south and humble in the north.

This is very simple. Since the rivers in Beiping City are connected to the Grand Canal and the Chaoyang Gate is connected to the Grand Canal, the East City is mostly rich families; while most of the people living in the West City are children of the old Eight Banners and high-ranking officials.

As for Nancheng, because it is at the downward and downstream of Peking, most of the people who are forced to make a living, and those who are gangsters and gangsters who are fighting for their own business are mixed here. It can be said that they are all kinds of religions and are mixed with fish and dragons.

Xicheng Xijiaomin Lane.

This Min Lane was very prominent during the Republic of China period. Here, there were important departments such as the Peking District Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the Higher Trial Office.

If we talk about going forward, this place played an indispensable role in the Ming Dynasty, such as the governor's office of the Five Army, Taichang Temple, Tongzheng Envoy Department, Jinyiwei and other central institutions in the Ming Dynasty were all here.

Yan Mansion is located in the center of Xijiaomin Lane and belongs to a typical Chinese courtyard.

There are two majestic stone lions placed outside the spacious door. The gatehouse continues the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty without any changes.

When you walk into the gate, you will see a red brick wall, which is depicted with a picture of pine and cranes prolonging life. The vivid murals make people unable to help but look at each other.

Turning over the screen wall and coming to the front yard of the house, there are large and small potted plants, large and small, full of green on the wooden shelves.

In a huge blue and white porcelain fish tank, you can see fat goldfish swimming leisurely and contentedly.

There are all kinds of rare varieties such as dark clouds covering snow, three-color tiger head, golden head, black and white lion, twelve red butterfly tail, etc., which fully demonstrates the owner's outstanding taste.

"Mu Feng!"

While Chu Mufeng was admiring the goldfish, a familiar voice sounded from behind. He quickly turned his head and looked at it and found that it was Cao Yunshan and his wife who came together.

"Senior brother, sister-in-law." Chu Mufeng bowed slightly.

"You came here very early." Cao Yunshan said with a smile.

"Senior brother, isn't this what you ordered? I asked me to come here early and said that there was work for me, so how dare I be negligent?" Chu Mufeng replied seriously.

"Of course I have to come and help. If you don't do it, who will do it? Let's go and meet the director with me!" Cao Yunshan signaled Ning Yanzhi to leave on his own, and walked towards the study with Chu Mufeng.

This is the first time Chu Mufeng has come here, but Cao Yunshan is familiar with the road.

In the antique study room.

After seeing the two of them coming together, Yan Ze, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, waved and greeted him in.

Chu Mufeng naturally would not sit down casually without ignoring his eyebrows, but instead stood respectfully next to Cao Yunshan and played the role of waiters for the two.

"Mu Feng, since you are at home, you don't have to be so restrained and sit there casually." Yan Ze said gently.

"Director, I'm still standing at ease!" Chu Mufeng said hurriedly.

"Director, let him do it!"

Cao Yunshan was talking beside him, but Yan Ze did not continue to persevere. After glanced at the two of them, he said slowly.

"At this afternoon, everyone here is my own people, so you don't have to see you. Mu Feng, you have to drink more drinks with your boss later."

"Yes!" Chu Mufeng agreed immediately without saying a word.

This opportunity is not something that anyone can think of!

Of course, you must perform well!

Of course, Chu Mufeng knew very well that as long as he appeared at the table, even if the mark of the Yan Ze faction member was printed on it, he would be Yan Ze's person.

During Yan Ze's tenure as director, as long as he achieved success, he would definitely make a good fortune and get better.

Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will be useless if you don’t have anyone on it.

"By the way, Mu Feng, where are the gifts you brought? Why don't you take them out and take a look!" Cao Yunshan said.

Yan Ze did not mean to be polite about this, but instead swept over with great interest. He also wanted to see what kind of things Chu Mufeng could take out.

Under the gaze of the two, Chu Mufeng opened the box, took out the gift from it and handed it over.

"Director, this White Jade Eight Good Lucky, I wish you great success and all the best!"

A surprise flashed in his eyes, and Yan Ze took Ruyi over and watched and played with it with great enthusiasm.

Cao Yunshan next to him secretly extended a thumbs up at Chu Mufeng.

This Yu Ruyi was obtained from Fujiwara. It is naturally a good thing to be appreciated by this guy as a treasure.

Chu Mufeng also had some serious taste and was 100% sure that this was a genuine product carved from a whole piece of high-quality Hotan white jade, so as not to make a fool of himself in front of the director.

"No, not bad, this Ruyi jade is shiny, the tentacles are cool and smooth, the shape is soft and curved, and the carving is exquisite. Mufeng, do you know when this is?"

After enjoying it for a moment, Yan Ze looked up and asked.

"Director, I'm really not sure about it. I just think this wish is quite appropriate, so I took it. I hope you will give me some advice!" Chu Mufeng scratched his head and said.

Good boy, he is quite clever. Is this a trick to hide his weakness?

Seeing this, Cao Yunshan couldn't help but smile in his heart. Others don't know, can I not know how familiar you are with these antiques?

Now, I deliberately hide my weaknesses and leave the director the opportunity to express his opinions.

You guys are so enlightened that you have a bright future.

"Look, this Ruyi carved eight auspicious patterns, the carved patterns are clear and clear, and the auspicious meanings are all revealed, and they have the style of court instruments... So according to my judgment, it must be a thing of the Qing Dynasty."

After being scratched to the itchy place, Yan Zerao, who likes to collect, commented in an interest.

"Director Gao Jian, Mu Feng has received the teachings!"

"Haha, Director, you are so talented and knowledgeable!" Cao Yunshan also agreed.

After putting Yu Ruyi back in the box, Yan Ze patted and said, "Mu Feng, I am very satisfied with this gift. You are determined!"

"Just like the director." Chu Mufeng smiled apologized.

"Okay, Mu Feng, you go out and help greet him first!" Cao Yunshan said directly when he saw Yan Ze accepting the gift, then picked up the teacup, and slowly drank tea.

"Yes! Director, Director, I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, Chu Mufeng turned around and walked out of the door and gently brought the door.

After Chu Mufeng left, Yan Ze said with satisfaction: "Yunshan, this kid is quite thorough in doing things. Young people like him should cultivate more."

"Yes, Director, I will supervise him!"

Cao Yunshan hurriedly endorsed Chu Mufeng.

Then he thought of the invitation list he saw, and he frowned and asked, "Director, will all those who you said you would come?"

What does this mean?

If Chu Mufeng people were still here, they would definitely be confused after hearing this.

Didn’t it mean that everyone came from their own people? Why would anyone not come? Could it be that this private banquet is not that simple?

right!

This private banquet is indeed not simple.

Do you really think Yan Ze is so bored that he holds such a banquet at home? Of course not.

He has always been very purposeful in his work and will never be aimless.

Some of the people invited today were their confidants, and there was no doubt that they would definitely come here.

As for the others on the list, Yan Ze wanted to test it.

This banquet in the name of a private banquet is actually a team.

Those who come here may not necessarily stand in Yan Ze's team, but at least it means that they have this idea and tend to rely on it.

As for those who don't come, they must be on the opposite side.

After tonight, as long as there are people who have not arrived, then wait for Yan Ze to deal with them one by one!

This is the cruelty of standing in the team. One prospers and one loses!

If you come to join the team and turn around and sing the opposite tune, you won’t be able to please me!

No matter when, no one likes to use two-faced and three-sword subordinates!

"It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions. If you don't come or follow them, we can't face you! Yunshan, the forced melon is not sweet!" Yan Ze waved his hand and his eyes were entertaining.

"Yes, Director!" Cao Yunshan immediately understood it.

Since it's not sweet, it's naturally going to throw it away. In other words, it's going to kick them out. I won't take you here to play!

"Mu Feng, come here!"

When Chu Mufeng just came out of the study and walked a few steps, he was called out by Ning Yanzhi not far away.

He immediately walked over quickly: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Come on, Mu Feng, I'll give you a grand introduction. This is our Director Yan's wife!" Ning Yanzhi was talking with a middle-aged woman with a graceful hair tied up high.

Although this person is already middle-aged, due to proper maintenance, his skin looks very white and delicate, and his figure is not distorted. He is wearing a blue cheongsam and a pearl necklace around his neck.

She looks like the restrained type, giving people a very gentle and kind feeling, and she does not become snobbish just because she is the director's wife.

"Hello, Mrs. Yan!" Chu Mufeng quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Oh, are you the little detective who has been talking about in the hall recently? It turns out that he is a hero and a boy!" Mrs. Yan blinked, and asked while looking up and down at Chu Mufeng.

"Little Detective?"

Chu Mufeng was slightly stunned and quickly said modestly: "Madam Yan, I just solved several cases by chance under the instructions of the director and the director. But I am not allowed to call the detective, all of them are jokes from my colleagues."

"lucky?"

Mrs. Yan waved her hand directly and said frankly: "There is no luck to solve a case. If it is broken, it is broken. If it is broken, it is broken."

"If you can solve the case by chance, how can you not see others be lucky? You don't have to be modest. Zong Ting mentioned you after he came back and said you are very good!"

"Thanks to Director Yan's love, Mu Feng will do his best to repay the Director's cultivation." Chu Mufeng's attitude was very low and his statement was very firm!

"Okay, Mu Feng, go and do it."

Ning Yanzhi's purpose is to let Chu Mufeng enter Mrs. Yan's sight. Since the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to continue talking.

After all, I was not very familiar with each other when I first met, so as not to make mistakes.

"Okay, Mrs. Yan, sister-in-law, you two are chatting slowly!" After saying that, Chu Mufeng bowed slightly, then turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
