The next day.

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

When I was passing through a street, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of an iron shop, shirtless, sweating like rain.

It's Wei Qi.

This distant uncle has no force, but because of his identity, he can't return to the army, nor can he do other work, so he can only do manual work to support his family.

Hua'er looked at this scene, her eyes were red, and she said: "Childe, it turns out that the job that the master said is to strike iron." ”

What happened to iron?

As long as you can support your family with your own ability, don't steal or rob, you are a real man!

"Let's go."

Wei Yan didn't go over and left with the painting.

After walking a few steps, he met Bingji, who was wearing an official uniform.

Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him.

Bingji said: "Master Wei, I am waiting for you here, I have already found someone to transcribe more than ten volumes of your book, and when I transcribe a few more volumes, it will be put into various bookstores for sale." So I won't be able to get the money for a while. ”

So that's what happened.

Wei Yan hurriedly thanked him and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I don't wait for the money now, it doesn't matter if it's later." ”

It is estimated that Liu Yi has not yet told this Lord Bingji about his opening of a restaurant.

He is not short of money at all now, and he can publish a book whenever he wants.

"That's good."

Bingji nodded, ready to leave.

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "My lord, I want to ask, my uncle Wei Qi, is there still a chance to return to the army?" ”

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

"Unless what?"

Wei Yan hurriedly said.

Bingji looked at him and said, "Unless there is a general who is willing to take him to the border to make meritorious service and accumulate merit." However, his identity is somewhat sensitive, and many people avoid it, and he needs to be recommended by someone with status. ”

Wei Yan said: "Is it possible to be an adult?" ”

Bingji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Of course not, you need to be recommended by someone in the army, and at least it needs to be at the level of a general." ”

Wei Yan sighed and arched his hand: "Slow down, adult." ”

Bingji nodded and walked away quickly.

"A man in the army, a general?"

Wei Yan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

When she came to the restaurant, Liu Chan was drinking tea upstairs, looking at the river outside the window, her brows were tightly locked, and she looked preoccupied.

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

Liu Chan retracted her gaze, looked back at him and said, "Say." ”

Wei Yan said: "Help my uncle Wei Qi find a job, he is now working in the iron shop, not to mention tired, and he earns less." With his ability, he shouldn't waste his strength on this kind of thing. ”

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

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

Liu Chan smiled shamefully: "The dignity of a man, right? You were originally a poor nephew who lived in his house, but now he wants to come to you, and live on your nose, you are afraid that he will not come for fear of being embarrassed, right? ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "There are also reasons for this, and there is indeed no job suitable for him in this restaurant." ”

Liu Chan cocked her fingers on the table, groaned for a while, and said, "Do you do it to protect him?" My mansion still lacks a few guards, two taels of silver a month, and I stay in the mansion when I have nothing to do, and occasionally need to follow my doormen to protect them. ”

Wei Yan's eyes lit up and said, "Do it!" Being a guard is definitely much better than striking iron, and his previous job was to be a guard. Then I'll thank you for my uncle. But this thing ......"

Liu Chan said: "Don't worry, I won't tell him what you helped him find, and I won't talk about our relationship." ”

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

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

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Fortunately, you are not ungrateful." Since you are friends, what should you do if your friends are in trouble? ”

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

Liu Chan twitched her eyebrows, stared at him for a while, and said, "After last night's battle, your friend Liu Ai's reputation has been spread, and there must be many talented people who have befriended him." I hope you can help me find the most talented talent, remember, it is a real talent, like Liu Aiji, not like the others on the boat last night, who is not worthy of fame and reputation, can it be done in five days at the latest? ”

Wei Yan was stunned, and looked embarrassed: "It's a little difficult, in five days, you asked me to find the most talented talent, you are the county lord, it's still difficult to find, I'm a grass ......."

"One thousand taels!"

Liu Chan squinted her eyes and said, "If you find it, I will give you a reward of 1,000 taels." ”

Wei Yan immediately sat down and said: "Most of the really talented people are hidden in the market, and it is definitely more convenient for me to introduce grass people." Sister Chan, don't worry, within five days, I will definitely help you find it! ”

Liu Chan said with a solemn gaze: "Repeat, I want to learn from real talent, not to mention being higher than that Liu Ill, at least not worse than him, if you know how to arrange troops and arrange national events, it will be better." Did you hear me clearly? ”

Wei Yan said: "Understood. But, Sister Chan, what should I tell them after I find them? ”

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

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

Liu Chan's eyes flashed, and she said, "If he wins, I will give him a reward of 10,000 taels, plus a good official that everyone envies." ”

"Smack!"

The teacup on Wei Yan's table suddenly fell to the ground, shattered, and the others almost fell off the stool.

"One...... Ten thousand taels? ”

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

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Well, ten thousand taels, guaranteed by the reputation and personality of Liu Chan, the county lord of my Zhao country." ”

Wei Yan was trembling.

Ten thousand taels, what is that concept?

Mansions, incense cars, beautiful women, what do you want!

Isn't it just a literary competition? Is it necessary to be so inhumane? It's too extravagant!

"I like it!"

Wei Yan trembled excitedly and said, "Sister Chan, rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" ”

He suddenly reacted again, and wondered: "Why is Liu sick no longer good?" ”

Liu Chan shook her head and said, "Except for him, anyone can do it." ”

Wei Yan frowned and fell into deep thought.

Liu Chan looked at the sky outside and said, "How is the food prepared?" By the way, last time in front of the wonton stand, what was the name of the piece you gave me to eat? Can it still be made now? ”

Wei Yan said: "Of course you can. ”

Liu Chan's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, then come with two copies, and I'll take them away later." ”

Wei Yan stood up and said with a smile: "That's called sausage, two big sausages, right?" I'm going to prepare. By the way, do you prefer to eat fine or coarse? ”

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

"Oh."

Wei Yan looked at her mouth, turned around and went downstairs.
