Chapter 34: Late Night Conversation
It's already time.
On both sides of the river, there are fewer tourists.
And above the river painting boat, it is still brightly lit and singing.
Wei Yan did not go back, but took the painting and went to Liu Ai's house.
But when he walked to the gate of the small courtyard, he hesitated a little.
What to say?
Just based on his words, people will believe him? Will he think that he was rejected by the girl, so he deliberately said that the man's is not?
Even if Liu Yi already believed him, would the girl believe it?
Everyone has already decided to marry, and if he pesters and says bad things about other people's future fathers like this, won't he be even more looked down upon by that girl?
"Childe, do you want the slave to knock on the door?"
The painting asked curiously.
Since they're all here, why don't you go in?
Wei Yan raised his head and said, "Knock on the door." β
In any case, he could not have watched the girl fall into the abyss.
After all, when he was in prison, the girl had saved him regardless of her reputation, and although she rejected him, she didn't have any bad intentions for him.
Painting knocks on the door.
Liu Aiji's voice soon came from inside: "Who?" β
Presumably he still had a stick in his hand at this time.
Even though he is now just an ordinary person, some people still feel that it is superfluous to keep him alive.
"It's sick, it's me."
Wei Yan replied.
Liu Yi immediately ran over and opened the door, and said with a surprised face: "Brother Yan, why are you here so late?" β
Wei Yan handed him the food in his hand, walked into the small courtyard, and said, "It's still hot, let's eat." β
Although Liu Ai had already eaten dinner, he never felt that he had enough to eat for the food he brought, so he immediately spread it out on the stone table in the small courtyard, but he was not in a hurry to eat, looked at him and said, "Brother Yan, there must be something wrong when you come so late, right?" β
Wei Yan pondered for a moment, Fang looked at him and said, "Do you know the name of the future husband of Wu Wei?" β
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Wu Qing." β
Wei Yan's heart sank suddenly, when the time came, he still hoped that it was just a coincidence, and he might have guessed wrong, but now it seems that it is indeed that person.
"Wu Qing has his own restaurant, called Zhaokelou, right?"
Wei Yan asked.
Liu Yi had already put down his chopsticks and said, "I only know that the person does have his own restaurant, as for the name, I don't know." Brother Yan, but what happened? β
Wei Yan was silent for a moment, and Fang said, "I'm sick, do you know Liu Chan?" The county lord of the Zhao State. β
"Liu Chan?"
Liu Yi thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I don't know." Liu Dan of Zhao State, I've heard of it. β
Wei Yan nodded and said, "It's Liu Dan's sister." β
It's not surprising that you don't know each other.
At the beginning, Gaozu got rid of the king of the opposite sex and divided the king surnamed Liu, and there were more than a dozen princes and kings with the same surname in the country, and the number of children born was even more countless.
As the eldest son of the former crown prince, he has been in Kyoto all the year round, so naturally he doesn't know a lot.
"Does this have anything to do with that Liu Chan?"
Liu Yi already looked solemn, and anything that involved the royal family must be a big deal.
Wei Yan smiled: "It has nothing to do with her, I just want to tell you that I know Liu Chan and have become the big boss of her restaurant." β
As he spoke, he told Liu Ai about how he got to know Liu Chan and how he finally became the big boss of Drunken Immortal Building.
After listening to this, Liu Yi was full of surprise, and said: "Brother Yan is really powerful, so he has become the big boss of the restaurant?" However, since Liu Chan is the county lord of Zhao State, it is estimated that it is not just because the dishes you make are delicious and you can make money that you agreed to such harsh conditions, right? β
Wei Yan nodded and said, "She is here for Jiang Chong." β
"Jiang Chong?"
Hearing this name, Liu Yi's face changed, and his eyes immediately showed deep hatred.
It was this person who ruined his family.
Wei Yan said everything Liu Chan said to him one by one, and said: "Sick, if you want to take revenge, she should be able to become an ally." β
Liu Yi had already listened, his eyes flashed, he was silent for a while, and Fang said: "Brother Yan, Jiang Chong is His Majesty's favorite minister, and there is also the collusion of Su Wen and others, and it is not something that can be brought down by just one person." The slightest carelessness is the crime of killing the head. After all, Your Majesty is now ...... Hey, I think we'll have to wait. β
Wei Yan smiled slightly and said, "What I said is that I really have to wait." β
This young man is really as able to endure as in history, and he is worthy of becoming an emperor who can become a great emperor in the future.
His eyes flashed, and he said: "However, we must be careful, according to Liu Chan, Jiang Chong and the others are not ready to give up." Lord Bingji has been impeached and slandered many times, and those who used to speak and be close to the crown prince and the Wei family are also regarded by them as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye, and they are trying their best to eradicate them through witchcraft. Your Majesty is old and faint, and he can't distinguish right from wrong, and it is very easy to be used by those traitors, so we can't sit idly by. β
Liu Yi sat up straight and said, "Brother Yan has a plan?" β
Wei Yan's eyes were cold, and he said: "With the way of others, he will also govern his body." β
When Liu Yi was about to ask him to be specific, Wei Yan shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this for the time being, the eldest princess has just come back, and I believe that those traitors don't dare to act rashly for the time being." I'm saying this just to let you know that you're not alone. Liu Chan and I will help you. β
Liu Yi got up, bent down, and gave him a long salute, saying, "Brother Yan, don't thank you for your great kindness, the illness has been remembered." β
Wei Yan smiled and said, "Okay, now, it's time for us to get back to the point and talk about your sister-in-law." β
Liu Yi had a look of doubt on his face, and immediately sat down, suddenly with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Wei Yan didn't beat around the bush anymore, and directly told him everything he saw and heard tonight.
Liu Yi had listened carefully, and when he heard the end, he clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and he said hatefully: "Shameless villain! β
Wei Yan looked at him and said, "You shouldn't think that I was annoyed that your sister didn't choose me, so I deliberately slandered that guy, right?" β
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Where Brother Yan said, of course I wouldn't think so." Brother Yan is upright and upright, when he was in the cell, he didn't know Master Bingji, so he dared to risk his head and say loudly that my father was wronged, and at that moment I knew that Brother Yan was my lifelong friend and the only brother! How could I not believe you? β
Wei Yan "cough cough", his old face was slightly red, he thought about it, and said, "But I think it's better not to tell Wu Wei about this matter for the time being." β
Liu Yi frowned and said, "What Brother Yan said is that Wu Wei has now married the other party and is ready to marry him, and these words are known from you, if I say it, she will definitely not believe it, but may ......."
"Would you despise and dislike me, think I'm narrow-minded, and deliberately slander her fiancΓ©, right?"
Wei Yan laughed at himself.
Liu Yi sighed and said apologetically: "I cared too much about her own thoughts at the beginning, if I forcibly matched you at the beginning, she would naturally not dare to disobey, and there would be no today." β
Wei Yan shook his head and said, "I don't want to marry a forced woman. You're sick, have you figured out what to do? This matter should not be delayed and must be resolved quickly. β
Liu Yi had been silent for a while, looked at him and said, "Today, the historian sent someone to tell me that Wu Qing invited us to have a meal tomorrow night and get to know each other." When the time comes, I, dancing worries, relieving worries, and matchmakers will go. Brother Yan, why don't you go tomorrow night, let's find a way to expose the shameless villain's face in front of Wu Wei, and Wu Wei will naturally hate him at that time. How do you say? β
Wei Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is the only way." Nowadays, only Wu Wu can completely dissolve the marriage contract if he is willing. β
The two discussed for a moment what might happen tomorrow night.
Wei Yan saw that it was getting late, so he took the painting and left.
"I'm sick, I'm going to buy a small courtyard these days, and it's not good to always stay at the guard's house. When the time comes, I'll invite you to dinner, but you'll have to help clean up. β
Before leaving, Wei Yan said with a smile.
Liu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, I'll call for relief and dancing worries together to ensure that you clean up." β
Wei Yan waved away, and his mood suddenly became very good.
"The moonlight is so nice tonight."
He sighed.
The painting next to him hurriedly said: "Mmmm, Childe, such a good moonlight, the painting wants to ......."
"Don't think about it!"
Wei Yan blocked her in one bite.
The painting pursed her lips and muttered, "Everyone hasn't finished talking yet." β
