Chapter 49

the next day.

Early in the morning, Wei Yan got up and rushed to the restaurant with Huaer.

When passing a street, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of an iron shop, shirtless and sweating profusely.

It's Wei Qi.

This distant uncle had only a word of force, but because of his identity, he could not return to the army or do other work. He could only do physical work to support his family.

Hua'er looked at this scene and said red in her eyes: "Young Master, it turns out that the work the master said is a ironwork."

What's wrong with the ironwork?

As long as you can support your family based on your own ability, and do not steal or rob, you are a real man!

"Let's go."

Wei Yan did not go away and left with Huaer.

After walking a few steps, I met Bingji in official uniform.

Wei Yan quickly bowed and said hello.

Bingji said: "Mr. Wei, I'm waiting for you here. I've found someone to copy more than ten volumes of your book. When I copy a few more volumes, I'll put it in various bookstores for sale. So I won't get this money for a while."

It turns out that's the matter.

Wei Yan hurriedly thanked and said, "Sir, don't worry. I don't wait to use the money now, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little late."

It is estimated that Liu Bingyi has not told this Lord Bingji about opening a restaurant.

He is not short of money now, and he can publish a book anytime.

"That's good."

Bingji nodded and prepared to leave.

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Sir, I want to ask, my uncle Wei Qi, if he still has a chance to return to the army?"

Bingji was silent for a moment, Fang shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Wei Yan said hurriedly.

Bingji looked at him and said, "Unless a general is willing to take him to the border to make meritorious contributions and accumulate merit. However, his identity is a bit sensitive, and many people avoid it. He needs to recommend someone with identity."

Wei Yan said: "Is the identity of the lord?"

Bingji smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Of course not. He needs to recommend people in the army, and at least he needs to be at the level of a general."

Wei Yan sighed and bowed, "Sir, go slowly."

Bingji nodded and left quickly.

"People in the army, general level?"

Wei Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Liu Chan was drinking tea upstairs, looking at the river water outside the window, frowned, and looked worried.

Wei Yan went to the kitchen to prepare braised pork and crucian carp, and went upstairs, sat down beside her, and said, "Sister Chan, although you look in a bad mood, I still have to ask you something."

Liu Chan withdrew her gaze, turned to look at him and said, "Say."

Wei Yan said: "He helped my uncle Wei Qi find a job. He is now working in the iron shop. Not only is he tired, but he still makes less money. With his ability, he should not waste his energy on such things."

Liu Chan said: "You just ask him to come to the restaurant to help."

Wei Yan shook his head and said, "No."

Liu Chan laughed and said, "Men's dignity is right? You were originally a poor nephew who lived in his family, but now he is coming to surrender to you and live with you. You are afraid that he will be embarrassed, right?"

Wei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "There are reasons for this. Also, this restaurant does not have a suitable job for him."

Liu Chan raised her fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Will he do the guards? My mansion still lacks a few guards, two taels of silver per month, so I will stay in the mansion when I have nothing to do, and occasionally I need to follow my guests to protect them."

Wei Yan's eyes lit up and said, "Do it! Being a guard must be much better than being a blacksmith. His previous job was to guard it. Then I'll thank you for your uncle first. But this matter..."

Liu Chan said: "Don't worry, I won't tell him that you were asking for help, nor will I tell you about our relationship."

Wei Yan smiled and was about to thank him, but Liu Chan suddenly stared at him and said, "What is the relationship between us?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course it is the relationship between business partners and friends."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Fortunately you were not ungrateful. Since you are a friend, what should you do if your friend is in trouble?"

Wei Yan sighed and said, "Sister Chan, just say it if you have something to do. As long as I can do it, I will... try it."

Liu Chan's eyebrows twitched, stared at him for a while, and said, "After the battle last night, the talent and reputation of your friend Liu Bingyi has been spread. There must be many talented men making friends with him. I hope you can help me find the most talented man. Remember, it is real talent and knowledge, like Liu Bingyi, not like the other people on the boat last night that they are not worthy of their reputation. Is it possible to do it in five days at the latest?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed: "It's a bit difficult. In five days, you asked me to find the most talented man. You are the princess, and it's hard to find him. I'm a gangster..."

"One thousand taels!"

Liu Chan narrowed her eyes and said, "If you come here, I will give you a thousand taels of reward."

Wei Yan immediately sat upright and said, "Most of the truly talented people are hidden in the market. It will definitely be more convenient for me to be a gangster. Sister Chan rests at ease. I will definitely find it for you within five days!"

Liu Chan said with a serious look: "Repeat, I have to be real and learn. Not to mention that I am better than Liu Bingyi, at least not worse than him. If I know how to arrange troops and arrange national affairs, it would be better. Do you hear it clearly?"

Wei Yan said, "I understand. But Sister Chan, how should I tell them after I find them?"

Liu Chan thought for a while and said, "Tell me out and tell them that I need them to help us participate in a literary competition. If you win..."

Wei Yan's heart moved and looked at her and said, "What will happen?"

Liu Chan's eyes flashed and said, "If you win, I will give him a reward of 10,000 taels, plus a good official who everyone envies."

"Bang!"

The tea cup on Wei Yan's table suddenly fell to the ground, smashing to pieces, and others almost fell off the stool.

"One...10,000 taels?"

Wei Yan was dumbfounded, and as for the following sentence, he didn't hear it at all.

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Well, ten thousand taels, guaranteed by my princess Zhao State Liu Chan."

Wei Yan was trembling.

Ten thousand taels, what does that mean?

Luxury house, fragrant car, beautiful women, what do you want?

Isn’t it just a literary competition? Is it necessary to be so generous and inhumane? It’s too luxurious!

"I like!"

Wei Yan shivered excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Chan, I guarantee to complete the task!"

He suddenly reacted again and wondered: "Why is Liu Bingye unable to do it?"

Liu Chan shook her head and said, "Anyone can do it except him."

Wei Yan frowned and fell into deep thought.

Liu Chan looked at the sky outside and said, "How are the dishes prepared? By the way, what's the name of the piece of food you gave me in front of the wonton stall last time? Can you still make it now?"

Wei Yan said: "Of course."

Liu Chan's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, let's have two more pieces, I'll take them away later."

Wei Yan stood up and smiled and said, "That's called sausages. Are two big sausages right? I'll prepare now. By the way, do you like to eat thin or thick?"

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's rough."

"oh."
