Chapter 35: Pleasant

 The third year of the Republic of China.

 Bingzi month, Jiaxu day.

 October 28th in the lunar calendar.

 It is suitable to start a business, get married, make a bed, and start work.

 Avoid moving, entering a house, breaking ground, or praying for blessings.

On this day, in the early morning, Uncle Jiu put on the new clothes that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had prepared for him yesterday, and stood with Qin Yao at the gate of Yizhuang to greet guests from all walks of life.

The courtyard was filled with maroon round tables that could seat ten people. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai shuttled among them like a fish in water, arranging the seats for the guests who entered the courtyard.

 In the kitchen, Ren Tingting dispatched all the chefs, helpers, and errand boys who would be responsible for serving dishes and pouring water later, and took the trouble to explain the process to them over and over again.

“Uncle Jiu, congratulations, congratulations.” When most of the tables in the courtyard were filled with guests, the mayor Ren Qingquan came quickly with a group of bureaucrats and squires, and was the first to congratulate Uncle Jiu.

“Master, this is the mayor of Renjia Town, Ren Qingquan.” Qin Yao said softly.

Uncle Jiu nodded silently, with a smile on his face, and responded solemnly: "Thank you very much, Mayor Ren, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come over. Qin Yao, please quickly take the mayor and all the squires to the lobby to sit down."

Seeing Uncle Jiu saluting him in full view of the public, Ren Qingquan knew that Qin Yao had not revealed what he had collected in his account, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude in his heart.

As the mayor in charge of the political affairs of a town, he also wanted to save face. On the way here, he was still thinking, what if Qin Yao asked him to call him boss in public? Wouldn't he lose face and become a laughing stock in others' mouths?

There is no need to worry now, the other party has given him dignity after all.

 Because of this, his grudge against the sudden appearance of a big boss dissipated a little.

 This big guy is capable.

"Mayor, I'm not sure what the identities of these friends you brought are, so I would like you to help arrange seats for them. After arranging, please go to the main table first. My master and I will come over after welcoming the guests. "Qin Yao led a group of bureaucrats and squires into the main room and said softly.

Ren Qingquan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Taoist Qin, I will make arrangements to bring these old friends."

Qin Yao smiled, turned around and left the lobby without saying much.

“Mayor, do you need to be so polite to him?” After he left, one of Ren Qingquan’s confidants asked in a low voice.

"It's not just me, you must also maintain enough respect for him. If you don't respect him, you are looking down on me!" Ren Qingquan was worried that his subordinates would not understand the importance of the matter and offend Qin Yao with their unobtrusive words, which would harm himself, so he immediately gave a stern warning.

 After understanding the boss’s attitude, he was quite satisfied with the boss’s way of getting along with him. Being a human being is realistic, and being an official is even more realistic. As long as he is not allowed to lose money and face, he can continue to work as the mayor and make a lot of money... Bah, continue to fight for the people of the town, then let alone let him call him the boss in private Now, it’s no problem to call him foster father.

 Only children will do things based on personal likes and dislikes. Adults only look at the benefits, and weigh the pros and cons no matter what direction they take.

“It’s quite lively.” Half an hour later, Chen Chenghuang led two judges to the outside of Yizhuang, holding his head high and smiling.

 “Greetings to the Lord City God.” Uncle Jiu cupped his hands.

Chen Chenghuang glanced at Qin Yao and saw him smiling at him, so he waved his hand: "It's a new world. This title sounds inappropriate, sir. Just call me Mr. Chen."

Uncle Jiu was very surprised. He did not expect that this cold-faced city **** would be so good-tempered today. He was completely different from the person he met back then. He was flattered for a moment: "Okay. Mr. Chen, I will take you to the lobby. "

 In the lobby, Ren Qingquan, who was sitting alone at the main seat, saw the boss walking in accompanied by a man in robes who seemed to have a higher status, and subconsciously stood up.

As soon as he got up, the bureaucrats and squires who came with him stood up one after another, as if their subordinates were welcoming the big boss to enter, giving them enough face. Chen Chenghuang took in all this and looked at Ren Qingquan emphatically, feeling very satisfied.

It's just that he is a guest now, so he doesn't want to overshadow the guest, so he quietly gave Qin Yao a wink.

“Mayor Ren, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Chen from the City God’s Temple.” Qin Yao said to Ren Qingquan.

Ren Qingquan himself is a good person. When he heard the three words "City God's Temple" and thought of the title "boss" in Qin Yao's mouth, the identity of this noble man was immediately revealed in his heart, and his heart trembled.

 The little girl **** her.

 This is the **** City God!

 How awesome is the boss, he can even invite the City God!

At this moment, seeing the city **** face to face, Ren Qingquan no longer had any grudges against the newly recognized boss.

 You must know that in ancient times, even high-ranking officials would worship the city god.

“Mayor Ren, what are you thinking about?” Qin Yao frowned slightly when he saw him dumbfounded.

Ren Qingquan woke up from a dream and quickly handed over his hand: "I'm sorry, I saw that Boss Chen looked familiar, so I lost my mind unconsciously."

Chen Chenghuang smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll just have another drink later."

Ren Qingquan nodded quickly and said with a smile: "I accept the punishment and will punish myself with three cups of wine later."

“Brother (Uncle), we are here.” At this time, several calls suddenly sounded outside the lobby.

Uncle Jiu looked overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, my fellow disciples have arrived, so I won't be with you for now. Qin Yao, you stay here with Boss Chen and Mayor Ren."

“Yes, Master.” Qin Yao nodded.

Uncle Jiu hurried to the outside of Yizhuang to meet and greet all the disciples. Suddenly he remembered something and whispered: "I will take you to the lobby later. There is an honored guest and an official in the lobby. You must not rush into him." ”

“Brother, can you tell me who the distinguished guest is and who the official is?” A Taoist priest responded: “Only by knowing their true identity can we grasp the balance.”

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, but finally made it clear: "There is Boss Chen, who is the local city god. There is Mr. Ren, who is the mayor of this town."

The mayor is just that. Practitioners are unwilling to contact them, but that doesn’t mean they respect them. What really shocks them is the City God!

This is not one of those unfashionable wandering gods, but a serious Yinsi Zhengshen. Senior Brother Lin is so proud that he even invited the City God to come in person.

 In an instant, people's hearts were in a state of excitement, and all the fellow disciples looked at Uncle Jiu with a lot of reverence in their eyes.

 Like a high mountain standing tall.

Uncle Jiu has always had a good reputation. In the original novel, when he was accompanying Renfa to eat, he winked at the coffee without sugar, which was so bitter; and added sugar to the egg tarts, which were too sweet to swallow, so as not to lose face.

In reality, because of the extra variable of Qin Yao, he avoided this embarrassment, but his most basic character traits remained unchanged. At this moment, looking at the admiration in the eyes of his disciples, or to be precise, the eyes of acquaintances, he felt in his heart It's like eating a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days of summer, it's so refreshing.

Happy!

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Last time I said I wanted to compete for the first place in the new book list, and this week I ranked first for a week in a row. You are more powerful than Boss Chen!

The young author feels happy.

Thank you everyone!!☆⌒(*^-゜)v
