Chapter 32: Lü Yi Jian

  ♂?,,

  Chen Yuan spoke as he brought over a stool, very respectfully placing it under Lü Fu's buttocks and wiping it twice with his own sleeve.

  Lü Fu saw Chen Yuan standing in the wine shop, he originally wanted to leave immediately, but Chen Yuan was so polite, he thought that if he cared about the trivial matter of that day, it would be somewhat petty.

  He also sat down and looked at the wine in the wine shop, then raised his head and asked Chen Yuan: "Whose shop is this?"

  Chen Yuan brought a pot of tea from the guest house and poured a cup for Lv Fu: "Thanks to Master's blessing, I just opened a small shop to make a living."

  Lü Fu took a sip and pointed with his finger: "Go, bring me some wine to taste."

  Chen Yuan hastily ran into the shop and poured out a small cup of wine: "Sir, rest assured, I have only top-grade good wine here, no water has been added."

  Lv Fu took a sip and shook his head: "It's not fake, but it tastes slightly different. Is there any better one?"

  Chen Yuan immediately nodded: "There is, but the small shop here doesn't have it. You know, those who drink at the entrance of the small shop are mostly some laborers, this wine is too good and can't be sold."

  Lv Fu was somewhat embarrassed: "This is not easy to handle, I'm waiting here for urgent use, want good wine, three jars of good wine, must be delivered to our mansion within an hour!"

  Chen Yuan only found out after asking for Lu Fu's address that this Lu Fu was a member of the household of the current Prime Minister, Lü Yi Jian.

  The prime minister's residence, he knew where it was. Chen Yuan secretly calculated that if he took a horse-drawn carriage, he should be able to make it on time. He then said to Lü Fu: "Sir, don't worry, I'll go get the wine right away. I guarantee it will arrive within an hour, how's that?"

  Lv Fu was still worried: "Forget it, I'll go find his family again. If the wine is no good, won't I be too late to change it?"

  The wine shops around here mostly sell the same kind of wine as Chen Yuan's, and occasionally there are a few jars of good wine, but not enough to meet Lü Fu's requirements. Unless Lü Fu goes to the workshop himself to fetch the wine, it's definitely impossible to buy. Chen Yuan said at this time: "Alright then, sir, I guarantee that I will deliver the wine within one hour, and you can go look for better ones again. If you find any, I'll bring the wine back."

  Lv Fuxin thought this was the best, and his tone also became more polite. He clasped his fists in respect to Chen Yuan and said: "In that case, I'll trouble you to run an errand for me. Tonight our master is hosting a full moon banquet for young master, remember to get the best wine, don't worry about the price."

  "Don't worry, old man, I'll definitely take care of it for you."

  Things went as Chen Yuan had expected, Lv Fu ran several streets but couldn't find suitable wine, and with the sky about to darken, he could only pin his hopes on Chen Yuan.

  In the business world, Chen Yuan is a person who will never disappoint his partners. Just as Lü Fu anxiously stood at the door and waited for a while, Chen Yuan and his entourage arrived in front of Xiangguo Mansion with three jars full of wine.

  Lv Fu ran over, first opened the lid, scooped a spoonful up and put it in his mouth to taste. Not bad, although the flavor wasn't as good as he had imagined, it was still passable. He then said to Chen Yuan: "Alright, you've come at just the right time, this time you've helped me out of a big jam. First, drive the car inside, remember that there are honored guests inside, when walking follow me and make a detour, don't startle anyone."

  Chen Yuan nodded: "Ah, got it, don't worry."

  Lü Fu led the way in front, and when Chen Yuan and his party entered, all the guests were already seated, waiting for the wine and dishes to be served. Of course, before drinking, there was still a procedure to go through, that is, to bring out the child for everyone to see.

  The wine barrel was put down, and Chen Yuan stretched his head to look at the door. He saw that old man he had seen before slowly walking out of the door. It seemed that he was the current Prime Minister Lv Yi Jian.

  Lü Fu was also very relieved at this time, and seeing Chen Yuan's gaze looking at his master, he casually asked: "How is it? Haven't seen such a big official in my family before?"

  Chen Yuan nodded.

  Lv Fu was very proud: "Have you ever seen so many officials and nobles?"

  Chen Yuan nodded again.

  Lv Fuhe smiled and said with a pleased expression: "Alright, let's just watch from here and see the world. But don't go any further, got it?"

  Lv Yi Jian came out with a chubby baby in her arms, a benevolent smile spreading from the corners of her mouth. She took careful steps as if she was holding a priceless antique, and placed the child in front of everyone for all to see.

  "This child, with a full and round face, and square jawline, is destined for great wealth and nobility."

  "This young noble's face has a fortunate appearance, it is certain that he will bring honor to his ancestors and glory to his family."

  "Just look at this child's face! He will surely live to be a hundred years old."

  Everyone was talking about it in seven mouths and eight tongues. Lord Lü heard this and was even more delighted, with a smile all over his face.

  At this time, Lü Yi Jian happened to see Lü Fu and Chen Yuan standing beside him. He had a very good memory, as long as he had seen someone once, he could basically remember them clearly. Thinking of what Chen Yuan said about having more children that day, Lü Yi Jian was extremely happy and shouted at Chen Yuan: "Hey, Chen Shi Mei, come over here for a moment."

  Chen Yuande didn't expect Lü Yi to shout out his name, stopping in his tracks. Lü Fu pushed him from the side: "If Master lets you pass, then pass, don't be rude!"

  Chen Yuan slowly walked into the midst of those high-ranking officials and nobles.

  A murmur of sighs surrounded him, and Chen Yuan thought to himself that these people were all high-ranking officials and nobles. If he could leave a good impression among them, it would be beneficial for his business and future prospects.

  He slowly walked forward, clasped his fists and said to Lü Yi Jian: "I was wrong to be so presumptuous, please forgive me for my ignorance, Your Excellency."

  Lü Yi smiled slightly and said: "In that case, don't say any more. Today is a joyful banquet at our mansion, don't spoil the festive atmosphere."

  As he spoke, he took a step forward and held the child in front of Chen Yuan: "Master Chen, that day you said I would have more children, and when I returned home, I had a son! Haha, an old man like me having a child at this age is truly delightful, all thanks to your auspicious words."

  Everyone who heard him speak turned their heads, wanting to know that Chen Yuan's current identity was just a wine delivery person. Those officials and nobles looked at Chen Yuan in his short clothes and didn't say a word.

  A clever servant spoke up, "Sir, he has spoken well, we should reward him with more silver. Give this young master some extra money to spend at the tea house."

  This is simply letting Chen Yuan take the silver and leave quickly, without staying in a place where he shouldn't be.

  Lü Yi Jian looked at Chen Yuan, but didn't say a word. Chen Yuan ignored them and slowly walked up to Lü Yi Jian, bowing his head in respect. He glanced at the child, then suddenly said: "Good!"
