After rebirth, I became a national teacher

After thinking it over, they could only hope that Yan Qingzhi would consolidate his position beside the abbot and then give them some benefits from his fingers.

I thought it would always be like this.

Who knows, there will be twists and turns.

A month ago, Yan Qingzhi wrote to say that the leader of the temple would come to the capital in person and asked them to give him a good reception.

When the Yan family learned about this, they were overjoyed and immediately began to make arrangements.

Now, they should be the only believers of the temple master in the capital. If they are treated well, they will surely surpass him.

Therefore, everyone in the Yan family attached great importance to this matter.

Knowing that the abbot was in Nandu taking a boat northwards, they counted the days and found that they had been waiting at Tianzhou Wharf for almost ten days.

"Mr. Qin, you have worked hard along the way!" Yan Shengzhi bowed.

Although Qin Yongming was just the son of a businessman, Yan Shengzhi respected him very much.

According to Yan Qingzhi, the Qin family is the temple master's number one believer.

If other believers knew that the temple master was coming to the capital, I wonder how many of them would want to send their own sons and nephews to serve him.

But the temple master only chose the Qin family, which was enough to show how much the temple master trusted the Qin family. Naturally, they had to win over the Yan family.

Qin Yongming was not an arrogant person, and he said humbly:

"Master Yan, just call me Yongming!"

Yan Shengzhi immediately said:

"Then I will be so arrogant as to call you Yongming. Yongming, don't be polite. Call me Uncle instead of Master Yan!"

The relationship between the two sides became closer in an instant.

Not long after, Qin Yongming returned to the ship and reported:

"Boss, the Yan family's pick-up person has arrived and is waiting at the dock."

Then he told her the identity of the person.

Chen Qingzhu had just arrived in Beijing and needed to rebuild his team.

Yan Qingzhi recommended his relatives, and she did not refuse.

But whether it is really usable remains to be seen.

"Then get off the boat."

After saying that, Chen Qingzhu led the group off the boat.

From a distance, I saw a middle-aged man dressed very elegantly at the dock, waiting there with a few servants.

When Chen Qingzhu approached, the man immediately came forward and bowed his hands in a solemn gesture:

"My name is Yan Shengzhi, and I'm here to meet the abbot!"

Chen Qingzhu nodded slightly and said calmly:

"No need to be so polite. It's inconvenient to be away from home. From now on, just call me Madam Chen."

"Yes, Mrs. Chen!"

Yan Shengzhi immediately changed his words and was very respectful.

Even though Chen Qingzhu was not wearing a veil, and her angelic appearance was revealed in front of everyone, Yan Shengzhi was only slightly stunned for a moment, then tactfully looked away.

"The carriage is ready, this way please."

He led the way humbly and politely, while apologetically explaining to Chen Qingzhu:

"Mrs. Chen, please forgive me. We don't know when you will arrive. My father and my third brother both have to go to the government office to work, so they can only send me, an idle person at home, to wait at the dock every day. However, the mansion has prepared a welcoming banquet, and they will definitely welcome you in person tonight!"

Mainly because he was worried that the temple master would misunderstand that the Yan family did not take it seriously, Yan Shengzhi made this special explanation.

Chen Qingzhu was not dissatisfied with this. The capital was under the emperor's feet, so officials on duty could not be as casual as they were in other places.

"That's fine. There's no need for a welcoming banquet. Let's go directly to our residence."

Yan Shengzhi heard this and did not dare to force him to stay:

"Then let's do as you say. I'll pay them a visit when they're on vacation in three days!"

Chen Qingzhu did not refuse.

She has things to do in the capital.

Although Qin Yongming is very capable, he is just a businessman and is unfamiliar with the capital. He still needs official support from a native family like the Yan family.

After meeting the head of the Yan family, if there is no problem, you can use it.

*

The roads in the capital are straight, and although they are more than fifty miles long, the driving speed is very fast.

In just over an hour, Chen Qingzhu and others were brought to the villa prepared by the Yan family.

This is a three-courtyard house located in the eastern part of Beijing, in a fairly good location.

As soon as you walk in, you can see that the house has been repainted, the furniture is all new, and there are a dozen servants at your service. It can be seen that the Yan family is very attentive.

Yan Shengzhi apologized again and again:

"The Yan family is limited in ability, and we are ashamed to force Madam Chen to live in such a small courtyard!"

Chen Qingzhu's attitude towards Yan Shengzhi softened as a result:

"Land is very expensive in Beijing, so it's inevitable that the houses are small."

The Yan family has a large population, and being able to provide such a courtyard is already a sign of sincerity.

At the same time, it also shows that they are not extremely corrupt, otherwise, they would not have done more than this.

Let Yan Shengzhi take away the servants sent by the Yan family, and Chen Qingzhu arranged accommodation for the people he brought.

Qin Yongming and the servants he brought with him lived in the front room. Chen Qingzhu, Huiyun, Huiming and Rongniang lived in the main house in the middle, and the back room was where the other female Taoists brought to Cihang Temple lived.

After a tiring journey, Chen Qingzhu asked everyone to rest for two days before starting to prepare to receive the important person from the Yan family's head family on the third day.
