The world is enchanting, the handsome man is so enchanting

Chapter 50
Li Jinglin said with trepidation: "Your benefactor is being polite! If you have anything to do, just ask me!"

"The Huaihe River was flooded, and the homes of hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan were destroyed. They were displaced, starved and died everywhere, and corpses littered the ground. The emperor asked me to find a way to raise money to help the victims. I came here to ask Uncle Li for help."

"Relief to the victims is a great act of kindness. Li Jinglin will definitely do his best. I don't know what benefactor wants me to do?"

"I want to hold a large-scale disaster relief charity sale and donation activity in Yipinlou with 'all for the victims'."

"Donate at the charity sale in Yipinlou?"

Li Yunluo served fragrant tea, stood behind his father, and listened to the conversation between the two.

Yu Qingyan explained her plan to Li Jinglin in detail, "It's rare for a family of cooking gods to sit in Yipinlou. I want to take this opportunity to hold a grand food tasting event in Yipinlou, inviting wealthy merchants and dignitaries from the capital Honorable people to participate. I would like to invite Master Master Chef to make three special teas, each of which will cost ten thousand gold, let these wealthy merchants bid, and the highest bidder will win. All the money will be used for disaster relief."

Feng Yingxue nodded after hearing this, helping the victims and the orphans, she is naturally willing to help such a kind deed.She said to Yu Qingyan: "I agree. But, are you sure you can invite these officials and businessmen to participate?"

You know, common people can't afford a dish of ten thousand gold!
Yu Qingyan replied: "I plan to ask Sanshao Qian to come forward on this matter. Sanshao Qian is very popular in the capital. I believe that as long as he speaks up, no matter how arrogant these traders are, they will still have to give Sanshao Qian face. Court officials, it’s all on me! I have my own way to get them to come!”

Zhong Hanli said with great interest: "Since it's a fundraising bazaar for disaster relief, it's not enough to have three dishes from my mother, and add my three dishes!"

Zhong Luokui hugged the wine jar, and said proudly, "I'll take out the three jars of fine wine that I've treasured for ten years, and I'll show you off!"

Li Jinglin went on to say: "Since the disaster relief is raising funds, I must make this scene look good! Benedict, don't worry! I will definitely make this disaster relief event spectacular and live up to your high expectations."

Yu Qingyan was overjoyed.

With so many people supporting her and helping her, she felt that if she wanted to raise 10 taels of charity, it would definitely not be a problem!

She cupped her hands and bowed deeply to everyone, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your great help, Qingyan is here to thank you for the hundreds of thousands of people in the disaster area!"

Li Jinglin quickly helped Yu Qingyan up, and said in a panic, "Grandfather, you are too polite!"

Feng Yingxue said with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Qingyan, you have such a kind heart, you are a good official!"

Yu Qingyan looked awe-inspiring, and said seriously: "Qingyan does not seek gold, silver and treasures for an official, and does not ask for an official to pour the world, but only wants to be able to do a little bit for the people. As long as the people live well, Qingyan's remaining wishes are enough. "

Feng Yingxue sighed, "If all the officials of Yufeng Kingdom can have your thoughts, why worry about the fate of the country, the people are not rich, and the world is uncertain!"

"I'm so ashamed!"

Zhong Luokui patted Yu Qingyan's shoulder and said with a hearty smile, "Qingyan, don't worry! As long as you put your heart and soul into serving the people, I will support you!"

"Thank you senior!"

Feng Yingxue handed a pair of chopsticks to Yu Qingyan and invited, "Qingyan, come! Try Yunluo and Li'er's half-cup chicken. Who do you think is better at cooking?"

Yu Qingyan took the chopsticks and picked up the one on the left and put it in her mouth to taste, then picked up the one on the right and tasted it.She said: "Li Yunluo's craftsmanship is light, while Zhong Hanli's taste is heavier. From the taste of half a cup of chicken, I personally prefer Zhong Hanli's craftsmanship."

Zhong Hanli was overjoyed when he heard the words, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily, it was hard to hide the joy in his heart.Li Yunluo showed a look of disappointment, looking a little frustrated.

"I think Li Yunluo's culinary skills have improved a lot." Compared with the dishes she first tried Li Yunluo's cooking, the difference is tens of millions.She said in admiration: "Senior Chef, you are a good teacher!"

Feng Yingxue smiled and said: "Qingyan, you are too out of touch! Just call me 'Aunt Feng'!"

Yu Qingyan said with sincerity and fear: "Qingyan dare not!"

Feng Yingxue patted Yu Qingyan's shoulder, like a gentle mother comforting her child.She said: "It's okay! You can call him like that! The old man is your 'Uncle Zhong', don't call him senior! This is too alien!"

Zhong Luokui responded to his wife's opinion and protested loudly, "I always call 'Senior' and 'Senior', making me seem very old! I am not old, I am still very young!"

A drop of cold sweat fell down Yu Qingyan's forehead.

It's not that I called you old on purpose, but that you are indeed much older than me!

Everyone laughed.

Although Zhong Luokui is more than forty years old, his temperament is still like that of an underage child, his childlike innocence remains unchanged, he is bold and unruly, he is really an old urchin worthy of the name.

In Xiaoyao Wangfu, Feng Yuli and Pei Yekai sat quietly on the stone bench in the gazebo in the backyard, surrounded by green willows and poplars, and the breeze was refreshing.There are two altars of fine wine on the stone table, the wine is mellow and sweet.They held an altar each, clinked glasses and drank together from time to time, chatting and laughing happily.

Talking about the flood in Huainan, and talking about Yu Qingyan's eloquent tongue in the court hall like an emperor, the disaster relief money that slaughtered the emperor and court officials, Feng Yuli laughed and called Yu Qingyan talented.He said to Pei Yekai: "Ye Kai, it's a good thing you didn't go to court today because of your official business, otherwise, you would have to pay the money!"

Pei Yekai looked at Feng Yuli helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Yu Li, I didn't go to court not to avoid this donation. Besides, donating money to relieve disasters is a great act of kindness. Everyone should do it. Even if you don't look for it I, I will also take the initiative to donate money to help the victims!"

Feng Yuli patted Pei Yekai's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Ye Kai, you are good at everything, but you are too honest!"

"Yu Li, donating money for disaster relief is a great act of kindness, why do you say I'm too honest?"

"Fengxuan Palace asked Yu Qingyan to find a way to raise funds, and Yu Qingyan turned her ideas on you. Think about how much silver taels your monthly salary is, and how much is left after daily expenses? Those officials are generous when they make a move. Where did the thousands of taels of silver come from? Yu Qingyan is obviously looking for your pockets, taking the opportunity to find out your truth. This person looks like an idiot, but he is actually very shrewd!"

"what do you mean……"

"Use your lips and raise a large sum of money without spending a penny. Not only have you completed the tasks assigned by Fengxuan Palace, but you have also gained a good reputation among the people. At first, I wondered how he could be worthy of the position of prime minister." , Now, I have seen his methods! This person must not be underestimated!" Feng Yuli sneered.

Pei Yekai said, "Yu Li, you seem to have a big prejudice against Qingyan?"

Feng Yuli raised his eyebrows lightly, and replied indifferently: "It's not a matter of prejudice. But since he is a person that Fengxuan Palace relies heavily on, I am naturally wary of him."

"Yu Li, actually, putting aside your prejudice against the emperor, Yu Qingyan is a very righteous person, and she is a friend worth making."

"Ye Kai, it's so rare that you can speak for him!"

"I really appreciate Yu Qingyan."

Pei Yekai briefly described his acquaintance with Yu Qingyan, especially when talking about Yu Qingyan helping Li Jinglin get back the contract and playing tricks on Wang Wansan, Pei Yekai even showed admiration.In the end, he told Feng Yuli, "Yu Qingyan is a passionate and passionate man, he is indeed a friend worth making."

Feng Yuli laughed out loud after hearing this.He put down the wine jar in his hand, picked up a feather fan and shook it lightly, thoughtfully, "Oh? It turns out that Wang Wansan's transformation into a monster is his masterpiece. This man has two tricks!"

After a pause, he continued, "However, Ye Kai, have you ever thought about why he actively helped Li Jinglin and why he sold such a favor to Li Jinglin? Draw your sword to help'? I think now Li Jinglin must regard him as a reborn parent and obey him, right?"

"You mean..."

"Help Li Jinglin regain the contract, save Yipinlou, and invite the family of God of Cooking, and ask God of Cooking to accept Li Yunluo as a disciple, and give Yipinlou a chance to revive its glory. How could Li Jinglin not repay such a great kindness? ? Believe that in the future, he will definitely respond to Yu Qingyan's request, and there will be no other words!"

Pei Yekai was startled, "Yu Li, do you think that Yu Qingyan spent so much time helping Li Jinglin just to get a first-class building?"

"Otherwise!" He believes that what Yu Qingyan is looking at is not Yipin Building, but the huge business opportunity behind Yipin Building.

Shaking the feather fan in his hand, he said leisurely, "Ye Kai, I dare to bet you that he will definitely make a fuss about Yipinlou in this donation event!"

"Oh?"

"Besides, this person is a master who cannot suffer! I believe that he will come to the door soon!"

"You feel……"

Before Pei Yekai finished speaking, Steward Wang came in a hurry, cupped his hands and said to Feng Yuli, "My lord, Prime Minister Yu is here to visit!"

"look!"

Raising his eyebrows, he winked triumphantly at Pei Yekai.Feng Yuli turned around and said to Butler Wang, "Prime Minister Yu, please come in!"

"Yes!"

Putting down the feather fan, holding the wine jar and continuing to drink, the contented expression seemed to not care whether Yu Qingyan came to visit at all.Drinking alone was not enough energy, and he kept urging Pei Yekai to drink together.When Yu Qingyan walked into the courtyard, what she saw were two men drinking from wine jars.

"Prince Xiaoyao and General Pei are having a good time!"

Lianbu walked into the gazebo lightly, smiled at Pei Yekai, turned around to look at Feng Yuli, and said with a teasing tone, "Prince Xiaoyao, if you don't go to court, I thought you were drunk in some gentle town. Why, so you are here with Pei Yekai?" Is the general fighting for wine?"

"Knowing that Prime Minister Yu is visiting, no matter how beautiful and intoxicating the gentle town is, it is not as important as Prime Minister Yu!" Feng Yuli squeezed her eyes ambiguously, handed the wine jar to Yu Qingyan, and laughed loudly: "Prime Minister Yu, would you like a bite?"

"I don't drink!" Yu Qingyan flatly refused.

"Oh? That's such a pity! This is authentic Kweichow Moutai, a centuries-old wine. If you don't drink it, it's a waste! It's a waste!"

Yu Qingyan smiled and said: "Since Prince Xiaoyao guessed Qingyan's visit, he must know Qingyan's intention. I don't know what Prince Xiaoyao plans to do?"

"What's the purpose? This king doesn't know!"

"My lord, don't pretend to be confused! You know what I'm talking about!"

"Forgive me for my ignorance, I really don't know!"

Yu Qingyan went straight to the point and said: "Since the prince insists on speaking directly with Qingyan, then let Qingyan speak directly! General Pei is here, so that's even better! It will save me another trip! I believe the two of you have already dealt with the flood in Huainan." I know that Qingyan is here to donate money to the two of you!"
