Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 307 Young man, let’s meet in our dreams

The receptionist Bifan came out of the abbot's room and went to the main hall in front. He did not see Dan'er and Tang'er there to greet the visitors, so his face suddenly darkened.

When I was away for only a short while, they started to slack off. It's true that they have an unstable faith in Buddhism and are cunning and slippery. They cannot be taught!
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Daner accompanied by a handsome young man, walking slowly from the side corridor.

Nun Qifan walked forward with a slightly angry look on her face. Just as she was about to scold him, she suddenly remembered the five hundred strings of cash...

Such a huge amount of money from incense offerings is the largest ever since the temple was built.

And this incense money was obviously donated to the nunnery because of Dan'er, so Master Cifan immediately became calm and composed.

Nun Bifan smiled and said, "Dan'er, as the receptionist, you should always be there to greet people in front of the hall and not neglect the donors. This donor is..."

"Lin'an Longshan, Wang Yefan!" Yang Yuan bowed to her.

Master Bifan asked, "Donor Wang, are you here with your family to burn incense?"

"No. Mr. Wang bought a piece of land next to Miaoxiu Temple and planned to build a house here.

Seeing this jungle, I feel it is quiet and peaceful, with an extraordinary atmosphere. It is also my neighbor, so I came here to burn some incense and pray for the safety of my home."

Yang Yuan reached into his sleeve and a stack of official coins appeared in his hand: "Wang is willing to donate 500 strings of cash to build temples, help the poor and the needy, and repay all living beings."

Master Quefan was overjoyed and a little at a loss for what to do.

Dan Niang took the official currency from Yang Yuan and handed it to Master Bifan with a smile.

Nun Bifan hid the official coins in her sleeve with great joy, and said with a smile:
"The donor is kind-hearted, and his merits are immeasurable; he accumulates virtues and does good deeds, and he is blessed with wisdom and blessings. I, the nun, will accept the donor's kindness on behalf of the mountain gate."

Yang Yuan said: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. My land will be under construction soon, and I would like to invite Master Daner to come..."

Qingtang suddenly rushed out from the side hall.

She had changed her robe and her hair was tucked into her hat, with a strand of hair hanging outside.

Her face must have just been washed and not wiped clean yet. There were still some water droplets hanging on her face, which looked like a freshly peeled egg.

She looked at Yang Yuan eagerly without saying a word.

Yang Yuan glanced at her, paused, and continued, "... and Master Tang'er, go to my homestead to receive fasting and chant scriptures, exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. I hope Master Zhike will agree."

"Ah, this..., okay, okay."

Nun Juefan agreed without thinking, and glanced at Danniang, thinking, "Are we inviting them to dinner again? Could Dan'er and Tang'er be the reincarnations of the Altar Purifier?"

……

When they returned to "Qijiantang" that night, Emmanuelle Belle, who had tasted the sweetness of "Zhelong Gong", excitedly asked Yang Yuan to continue teaching her the skills.

This thing is both good for keeping fit and entertaining, and... only you know it, so there's no need to be shy about seeing others.

Even Shishi couldn't resist at the beginning, and tasted the unspeakable feeling again and again in secret, let alone Emmanuelle Belle, a girl who had no idea about the taste of romance before.

Yang Yuan said, "You have a photographic memory, but forget everything after a while, so don't be greedy.

Tonight, continue to consolidate the exercises in the previous article so that they can form a kind of muscle memory.

Even if you lose your memory tomorrow, you will be able to quickly master it according to the notes."

Bei Er blushed and said, "If I practice cultivation, then... sir, what will you do?"

Yang Yuan said righteously, "It's fine with me. I'll just go to the night market and hang out for an hour or so."

Belle felt a little guilty after hearing this.

Everything I have is thanks to Yang Yuan, and this house is also rented by someone else.

But if I practiced martial arts myself, it would make it difficult for Yang Yuan to return home...

Bei Er said hesitantly, "Why don't you just rest in your room, sir?

I think that with the inner and outer rooms separated, it is not necessarily possible to sense anything.”

Yang Yuan said sternly, "That is absolutely not allowed. I admire Miss Belle's loyalty, integrity, modesty, courtesy, and chastity. I really don't want to go against your wishes or be disrespectful to you in the slightest!"

After hearing this, Emmanuelle Belle looked at Yang Yuan with deep emotion.

I was not wrong about him, my black-eyed knight, he is truly an outstanding gentleman.

Oh, it would be great if he didn’t have a wife yet.

Belle felt a little disappointed.

……

After dinner, Yang Yuan accompanied Emmanuelle Belle for a walk in the courtyard of the inn.

After returning to the room, Yang Yuan said considerately: "Bei Er, consolidate the skills I taught you. I'm going to go to the market and will be back in about an hour."

Belle blushed and said, "Sir...you really don't have to work so hard.

I think, you rest in the outer room, it should be... it should be fine..."

"Can't!"

Yang Yuan said in a resounding voice: "We Chinese have an old saying, which goes, 'Starting from emotion, ending with propriety, a gentleman does not deceive in secret, does not deceive in his heart, and even less deceives others.

This means that even if a gentleman is in love with a beautiful woman, he should not behave disrespectfully towards her.

Even if no one is watching, you cannot do shameful things, you cannot deceive your own heart, and you cannot deceive others. Yang Yuan should practice it! "

Belle opened her big blue eyes and looked at Yang Yuan who was standing at the door with admiration.

His moon-white clothes seemed to have turned into a set of mithril armor at this moment.

The door handle he was holding seemed to have turned into the hilt of a heavy sword.

His tall and majestic figure is like a righteous knight from the kingdom of heaven, and all despicable villains will feel ashamed in front of him.

"You practice!"

Yang Yuan smiled at her gently, opened the door and walked out, then considerately closed the door for her.

Emmanuelle Belle clasped her hands in front of her chest, staring blankly at the door, as if Yang Yuan was still standing there, his whole body emitting a holy light.

In her heart, she kept thinking of a sentence: "Even if you love a beautiful woman, you must not behave disrespectfully towards her."

Oh my God, did Mr. Yang Yuan accidentally reveal his love for me?
I...I...My Lord, why did you make me meet him now?

If he hadn't gotten engaged yet, that would be great...

Emmanuelle Belle sighed softly.

After closing the door, Yang Yuan turned left and walked along the corridor to the room next to "Listening to the Waves", called "Talang".

He stopped at the door of "Talang" and took out the room key from his arms.

……

About an hour later, Wen Tian came back.

Although he looked a little tired, he was extremely excited.

He had measured the land and filled in the specific location of the land on the transfer contract for Yang Yuan with Wang Yefan's "public verification".

With this "official certificate" in hand, Yang Yuan can change the land from "Wang Yefan" to "Yang Yuan" at any time, but that must be after the dust settles.

Afterwards, he excitedly went to the Shanyin Construction Association to look for a "constructor". This construction engineer is what later generations called a designer.

Of course, fifteen acres of land must be planned and designed before the corresponding building materials can be purchased according to the drawings, craftsmen can be hired, and construction can be carried out according to the drawings.

However, there are many wealthy and powerful families in Shanyin, so the construction guild has many sets of construction drawings for wealthy and powerful families.

Like government buildings, mansion buildings are all influenced by etiquette, feng shui and other aspects, so their architectural layout is basically the same.

If you want your manor to be more unique, you should usually work on the ground decoration and house furnishings after the basic construction is completed.

Therefore, Yang Yuan's mansion hardly needs to be redesigned. It only needs to find a similar set of architectural drawings based on its proximity to the lake and make slight adjustments.

This also meets Yang Yuan's requirement to start construction as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wen Tian has basically finalized the construction drawings tonight. The builder he selected only needs to make some minor adjustments and redraw a set of drawings before asking Yang Yuan to review them.

For such a large project, Wen Tian could make a lot of money without cutting corners, so even though it was hard work, he enjoyed it.

Wen Tian hurried to the "Ting Tao" room excitedly, intending to report to Yang Yuan and then go eat something.

He was already starving at this time. He had been busy for half a day and had not eaten or drunk anything.

When he got closer, Wen Tian saw a waiter standing under the light of the porch of "Ting Tao".

The door opened a crack, and Emmanuelle Belle's voice came from inside.

"Brother Xiaoer, please bring me a bucket of hot water and three buckets of well water."

Wen Tian stopped, thought for a while, and decided to go eat something first.

As for the report, it’s not too late tomorrow.

So he turned around decisively and walked out.

……

The next day was the day when Lu You was scheduled to take up his post.

The Lu family was also a wealthy family in Shanyin, and Lu You himself had a wide range of friends, so naturally many of them came to the dock to see him off.

Lu You was about to leave by water. This way, there would be fewer bumps along the way and the journey would be much easier.

The Lu family chartered a merchant ship themselves, and filled it with entourage, guards, and all kinds of stuff.

At the dock, Yang Yuan couldn't say much to Lu You. Just like everyone else, he just said a few auspicious words and offered a glass of wine.

Lu You was in high spirits and did not seem depressed at all by his demotion, showing a very carefree attitude.

With his fame, he was appointed as the chief clerk in Ningde County, Fuzhou. He was not only an assistant official, but also the chief clerk of a county, the lowest level of official rank. However, he did not care at all.

On this point, although Yu Yunwen is older than him, his mentality is obviously not as good as his.

However, this may be related to the different starting conditions of the two of them.

Although Yu Yunwen was a descendant of Yu Shinan, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty, his family had fallen into decline by his generation.

Moreover, he wanted to join the army in his early years and argued with his father for nearly twenty years.

Now he finally changed his mind and passed the imperial examination, but he was already 44 years old and could have been a grandfather.

If you are suppressed at this time, you may suffer for a few years. Due to your age, you will completely lose the possibility of promotion, so you will naturally be anxious.

Lu You was less than thirty years old, and the Shanyin Lu family was a famous family in the local area.

He was suppressed by Qin Hui twice in a row because he did not give Qin Hui face.

Even though the Qin family had hinted at it again and again, he refused to let Qin Xun win during the locked-hall test, and he kept Qin Xun at the bottom, preventing the Qin family's talented young man from realizing his dream of winning three top prizes in a row.

In fact, if Qin Hui had not done something in anger and not allowed him to take the test in the Ministry of Rites, he would probably have been better than Qin Xun.

However, after two rounds of suppression and ruining his future, it's time to vent your anger.

If Qin Changjiao continues to be relentless, he will probably be criticized by too many people.

Furthermore, Qin Changjiao was already old, but Lu You was less than 30 years old. It was not too late for him to outlive him, so their mentalities were naturally different.

Shen Xi was also among the crowd seeing him off. Ever since Yang Yuan rejected his offer to become his wife and turned his face away, Shen Xi had grown deeply disgusted with Wang Jia Erlang.

When seeing Yang Yuan again this time, Shen Xi's expression became very cold.

Yang Yuan didn't care about the spoiled eldest son of the Shen family. Seeing his cold expression, he just pretended not to see him.

After the group of people saw Lu You off, they saw the boat gradually going away and everyone dispersed.

When Yang Yuan saw Chu Nianqiu, he greeted him and walked towards him.

Yang Yuan told Chu Nianqiu about his purchase of land and house in Shanyin.

This matter had to be publicized to create momentum, and there was another benefit for him to take the initiative to tell Chu Nianqiu.

That is to strengthen Chu Nianqiu's belief in him and make him believe that Wang Yefan really wants to become a long-term supplier here.

This would better paralyze Chu Nianqiu and the Shanyin military commander, Chu Yuan, behind the white gloves.

Chu Nianqiu was delighted to hear this, and smiled at Yang Yuan, "Very good, this way, Chu and Erlang will be able to visit each other often in the future."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I also have the same idea. A harmonious family can prosper, and I don't want to fight with my brother.

When our business becomes stable, I want to stay in Shanyin permanently and develop my business outside my home. I will rely a lot on Chu Xingtou in the future."

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "When doing business, of course the more friends the better.

If Erlang really lives in Shanyin permanently, we will be a family and should support each other.

Have you acquired the land? When will you start building the house?"

Yang Yuan said: "The land has been acquired. I heard that the craftsmen from the courtyard are mostly used to build houses here.

I have asked Brother Wu Guan to write me a letter of recommendation, and I am planning to go to the Transportation Department."

Chu Nianqiu stroked his beard and said, "The Transportation Department... The Transportation Department just ran into a bad situation and arrested a lot of people.

The court had not yet sent an official, and now there was only one deputy transport envoy left to support the situation. The deputy transport envoy's surname was Qiao, and he was always cautious.

His personality is such that if he doesn't ask for help from others, no one else can ask him for help. He is a person who doesn't take things seriously. If you go to him, you may not be able to get anything done."

Yang Yuan said, "I just can't find a way at the moment. Brother Wu Guan has already written a letter of recommendation for me. If I don't go there, it will be embarrassing for Brother Wu Guan."

Chu Nianqiu said, "That's true. Why don't you try your luck? If it doesn't work, come find me. I have some connections in the Ministry of Justice."

Yang Yuan was overjoyed, thanked him, and left in the car.

Just as Chu Nianqiu was about to turn around and get in the car, Young Master Shen, who had been secretly watching the situation here, came over.

He smiled and said, "Chu Xing Shou, what are you and Er Lang discussing secretly? Where are you going to go to find prostitutes?"

Chu Nianqiu turned around and saw that it was Shen Xi, so he smiled and said, "If I were to go and have sex with prostitutes, I would ask you, a playboy among prostitutes, for directions. We are not as familiar with the places as you are."

The two were joking, and Chu Nianqiu told them about Yang Yuan buying land and a house here.

Shen Xi listened with a smile, but sneered in his heart, "You have offended me, and you still want to gain a foothold in Shanyin?"
Shen Xi secretly made up his mind and said a few perfunctory words. As soon as Chu Nianqiu left, he got in the car and ordered, "Let's go to the Transportation Department!"
