Rich and powerful

Chapter 351: The Imperial Banquet

It can be seen that it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to earn money.

In fact, Lin Yun is not indifferent, he knows that the power is in his hands, and the money will be made faster.

But there are rules in everything, and the order cannot be messed up.

When you become fat, and then enter the court as an official, you can not only use money to pave the way, win good popularity, but also be a good official.

This is the long-term solution.

Otherwise, why is Cui Mingchong clearly a favorite in the eyes of outsiders, but the emperor is still guarding against him?
When a senior official has no shortcomings in the eyes of the emperor, that is his most dangerous moment.

Because the emperor would not allow someone stronger than himself to control the government.

Lin Yun's attitude of being indifferent to fame and fortune is to establish an image in the emperor's heart.

First impressions are often the most important.

All these psychological matters were part-time college studies in his previous life. Lin Yun's knowledge is not inferior to that of today's court bachelors, and no one can even match him in this field.

Only then did Ye Wanqing suddenly realize, and said with a smile: "So that's it! Mr. Xianggong, why do you do things so reassuringly? I feel so happy!"

As he said, he threw himself into Lin Yun's arms.

When a man can give a woman a strong sense of security, it is also the moment when a woman feels the happiest.

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me! I'm hungry, what shall we have for dinner?"

"What to eat? Yunfu will definitely prepare dinner for us! Let's go and have a look!!"

Saying that, Ye Wanqing took his hand and left.

When they returned to the living room, the table was already filled with dozens of dishes.

This is completely prepared according to the palace banquet, which can be described as extremely rich.

Ye Wanqing was drooling watching, she was already hungry.

At this moment, a court lady stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, according to the order of Lord Long Live, the chef of the Yun Mansion specially prepared dinner for you. Please eat it slowly!"

Lin Yun nodded and smiled, and said, "Okay, thank you very much!!"

After that, the maid turned and left.

The two of them sat down and prepared to eat.

But at this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, and the door was opened again, and it was still the maid from before, who said, "Mr. Lin, the leader Qi is here!!"

Lin Yun joked, "Bring him in!"

He is actually not used to this, he is a guest after all, but under the secret instruction of the emperor, he was given such great power.

For the maids and guards of Yunfu to treat him so respectfully, it is also suspicious.

Sure enough, after Qi Rui stepped into the door, he clasped his fists and smiled, and said, "Young master Lin is really not simple! You have only lived in Yunfu for a few days, and you can actually get the support of everyone in Yunfu? Long live Lord has come?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "No! How could the emperor come to see me, a poor man! Is it not the order of Master Cui that everyone in the Yun family supports me?"

Lin Yun is also very good at pretending to be stupid.

He promised the emperor not to leak the news of the emperor's arrival.

Especially, once Qi Rui learned that he had a private interview with the emperor, he would definitely be suspected by Cui Mingchong.

Although the conversation between Lin Yun and Cui Mingchong was unpleasant, it was far from turning the table over.

Therefore, Lin Yun must continue to pretend.

At least this news cannot be leaked from his own mouth.

Qi Rui nodded, looked down at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and said, "Mr. Lin's treatment is really good! Tsk tsk... bird's nest duck strips, assorted shark's fin, and asparagus!!"

Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing were dumbfounded when they heard him keep reporting the names of the dishes.

These dishes are not simple just by listening to their names, and they are definitely not for ordinary people.

Lin Yun also smiled wryly in his heart, this Long Live Lord is really a man of temperament, unexpectedly he gave himself such a high treatment without making a sound.

And Qi Rui's heart is no longer doubt, but affirmation.

He was certain that the emperor must have met Lin Yun alone.

He was the one who brought Lin Yun to live in Yun Mansion himself.

Naturally, he knew what kind of specifications were used to entertain Lin Yun.

Although the Yun Mansion was of a high standard, it was after all only a residence for the emperor before he ascended the throne.

But, look at the dishes on the table, this is an imperial banquet.

Qi Rui was able to call out the names of the dishes because he was the commander of the inner guards, and for quite a long time, he never left the emperor's side.

If there is no holy edict, the cooks and maids of the Yun Mansion would never have the guts to serve the dishes.

Lin Yun didn't want to argue with him about this topic, so he waved his hand and said, "Commander Qi, why should you care so much? Sit down quickly, let's eat together!!"

Qi Rui shook his head immediately, and said: "I dare not be an official!! These dishes are the royal banquet, since Mr. Lin can eat them, it must be the order of the Long Live Lord!"

After he said this, Lin Yun lost the interest in eating, and put down the chopsticks in his hand directly.

Frowning, he said, "Qi Rui, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be so yin and yang!"

Qi Rui also simply let go, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin is open! Then the official can just say it straight! I just came out of Mr. Cui's residence, and I heard that Mr. Lin had an unpleasant quarrel with Mr. Cui at noon ? Is there such a thing?"

"That's right! However, I'm just protecting my own interests! I'm not disrespecting Master Cui! Besides, I'm a businessman, and a businessman seeks profit, so it's impossible for me to play for nothing! I say that, Commander Qi understands?"

Qi Rui keenly noticed that Lin Yun's attitude towards him seemed to have become stronger.

This made him even more uncertain. Could it be that the emperor gave Lin Yun any guarantee in private?
People like to scare themselves the most, Qi Rui is like this.

Thinking of this, Qi Rui softened his words and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong! This official is not here to ask the teacher for his crimes! It's just... this time you are looking for Mr. Cui to talk about the mineral business, since Mr. Cui wants to help you contact The Shang family has to bear the risks involved, so it should take the lead! Even if you are in business, there is no problem, right?"

The corners of Lin Yun's mouth turned up, and he said, "Who doesn't take the risk? When I cooperated with Master Cui, it was for fairness and justice. If Master Cui wanted to bully others, there would be nothing to talk about! As for the mining business, it doesn't matter if you don't do it." Anyway, I, Lin Yun, don’t rely on mining business, and I can still make money! Commander Qi can leave if he has nothing else to do! Don’t delay the meal between us and my wife!”

Qi Rui secretly scolded Lin Yun for being bold, if it were the same as before, he would definitely turn his face straight away.

But now he seriously doubts that Lin Yun has already talked with the emperor alone, and what's more, he has received any guarantee.

Otherwise, how could Lin Yun have the guts to talk to him like this.

Lin Yun looked at Qi Rui who was frozen in place, and said, "Why? Don't you understand? Qi Rui, let me tell you, since you have also taken my money, you have to do things for me! Otherwise, why are you standing on my side? Shout out five or six in front of you?"

Qi Rui said with a dark face: "Lin Yun, the capital has the rules of the capital, don't think that you can be unscrupulous if you have a backer, look at Daduan Shenchao, Fengyang County is very small, and your Niubei Village is even more insignificant like an ant! So, I advise you not to be too crazy!"
