The next day.

Early in the morning, Liu Chan rushed to the restaurant in a hurry and asked Wei Yan to make a big bowl of braised pork, as well as the new braised crucian carp and crucian carp soup.

"Before noon, it has to be done! You cook it yourself! ”

Liu Chan gave an order, and for the first time she was so serious, she moved a small bench and supervised it in the kitchen in person.

Wei Yan didn't ask much, and immediately asked the chef to prepare fresh ingredients and cook them himself.

There are not many people who can make this county lord of Zhao State nervous, thinking of what she said yesterday, and the eldest princess returning to Beijing from the border, so do you still need to guess?

The braised pork was quickly boiled in the pot.

Fresh crucian carp is also marinated in a variety of seasonings.

Wei Yan also moved a small bench and sat next to her.

The two of them craned their necks together, looking at the stove.

was stared at like this by the two bosses, the chef and the miscellaneous workers in the kitchen were very nervous, and even forgot to put salt in some dishes.

Wei Yan decided to break the silence first, and said, "The one who came back yesterday?" ”

Liu Chan hesitated, Fang nodded, glanced left and right, and Fang said in a low voice: "Keep it secret." ”

Wei Yan nodded, indicating understanding.

Since it is the main thing that the eldest prince eats, it is naturally necessary to keep it secret, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone tries to poison it, or deliberately slanders the eldest princess for colluding with Zhao Guo.

The eldest princess just returned to Beijing yesterday, and the people of the city took the initiative to greet her, cheering like thunder, and it is estimated that this picture has already reached the ears of His Majesty.

What will Your Majesty think?

The merit is high and the people are wanting.

This is not the glory of a courtier.

If the eldest princess is smart enough, at this time, she must be low-key, and she can't let those traitors seize any tricks.

Otherwise, in the current state of that majesty, no matter how much credit you have, no matter whether you are related by blood, you will all be regarded as an enemy.

"Sister Chan, do you know Liu Aiji?"

Wei Yan asked in a low voice again.

"Liu's illness?"

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, then her heart was shocked, and she said, "You mean, that ...... The eldest son of the former crown prince? He's alive? ”

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Of course, and he lived in the same cell with me at the beginning. ”

Liu Chan's face was full of astonishment, and after a while, Fang said: "After I met you in the restaurant that day, I asked people to check on you, and I knew that you had been in prison for two years, and you were implicated because of Prince Wei's affairs." That's why I dare you come to the restaurant. After all, my enemy is also your enemy. However, he didn't know that Prince Wei's eldest son was still alive. It is said that with His Majesty's character and the original state of anger, it is impossible to keep him alive. ”

Wei Yan sighed and said: "If it weren't for Lord Bingji's desperate protection and preventing the eunuch Guo Sui from bringing people in at the cost of disobeying the holy order, I'm afraid that Liu Yi and I would not be able to live now." ”

"Bingji?"

Liu Chan said: "I seem to have heard of this person, who is loyal and upright, and is quite trusted by His Majesty. Do you know him too? ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "My Journey to the West, he asked me to record it and prepare to help me publish a book." ”

Liu Chan was surprised: "It seems that Lord Bingji attaches great importance to you." ”

Wei Yan said: "When Lord Bingji sent me to the Wei family, he knew that the Wei family was unable to protect itself, and I was also poor, and there was no one to turn to in Kyoto, so he was ready to help me publish a book, so that I could earn some money and live a good life." To be honest, he's one of my biggest benefactors in Kyoto. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "This is true, saving your life and helping you live, it is indeed a great grace." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled and said, "However, I'm afraid Lord Bingji doesn't know that your cooking skills are so good, and now you have become the owner of this restaurant, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Wei Yan arched his hand and said seriously: "The county lord also has a great favor to me. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Chan raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, three or seven points, why don't you change it to five or five points?" ”

Wei Yan immediately got up, walked to the stove and said, "It's time to cook crucian carp soup." Thousands of tofu and thousands of fish, this fish soup must be cooked early to be delicious. ”

With that, let's get busy.

Liu Chan looked at it with a smile, the light in her eyes flashing.

After a while, Wei Yan came over and said with a serious face: "Sister Chan, don't hide it, you have something to ask for." ”

Liu Chan raised her eyebrows and said, "Say." ”

Soon it was noon.

Liu Chan took the braised pork, braised crucian carp and crucian carp soup that had just come out of the pot, sat in a carriage, and left quickly.

Before leaving, she left Wei Yan with four guards and the county lord's seal.

Wei Yan whispered to the four guards, and the four guards immediately left the restaurant.

Guests at noon are not as hot as at night.

The shop is quite busy.

Wei Yan and Hua'er had lunch, then left the restaurant, and walked towards Liu Aiji's house while strolling on the street.

It's still early.

He decided to go shopping and buy some jewelry for Hua'er and Liu Jiewei.

As for Liu Wuwu, it's not that he doesn't want to buy it, but if he buys it now, it is estimated that people will not want it, and he will even feel that his character is inferior and disgusted.

I don't know what will happen tonight, but it will definitely not be a good thing.

Regardless of whether Liu Wuwei will wake up or not, now is not the time to give her a gift.

"Childe, this bracelet is so beautiful."

The painting stopped in front of a stall and looked at a gold bracelet with bright eyes.

The gold bracelet shimmered in the sunlight.

Wei Yan walked over and looked at it, picked up a pale green jade bracelet next to him, and said, "I think this is very good, your gold bracelet is too vulgar, and you wear it like a local tyrant." ”

"Local tyrants? Childe, what is a local tyrant? ”

The painting was full of doubts, her eyes were still staring at the gold bracelet, and she pouted and said, "But, people want gold." ”

"Vulgar!"

Wei Yan muttered and picked up the gold bracelet, how vulgar it looked.

At this time, there was no real gold, it was all made of brass, and it was inferior to look at.

But since this little girl likes it, let's buy it.

It's also worth it to buy a happy one.

"Boss, I want both."

Wei Yan gave the gold bracelet to the boss and asked him to wrap it, then picked up the hand of the painting and put the jade bracelet in his hand on.

The wrist of the painting is slender and snow-white, and wearing this pale green jade bracelet is really not ordinarily good-looking.

Hua'er looked at it in a daze, and suddenly said, "Boss, I don't want that gold bracelet, I want this jade bracelet." ”

Then he smiled sweetly at Wei Yan and said, "It's still the son who has a vision, and the slave has only discovered now that this jade bracelet is good-looking." ”

Wei Yan said: "Boss, wrap that gold bracelet, I'll give it to someone else." ”

The smile on Hua'er's face suddenly froze, and she pursed her lips and said, "Childe is eccentric, and the gold bracelet must be more expensive." ”

The boss handed over the wrapped gold bracelet and said with a smile: "Where is it, little girl, don't blame your son-in-law, in fact, these two bracelets are about the same price." ”

Hua'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Really? ”

The boss said with a smile on his face: "Really, the jade bracelet is ten, and the gold bracelet is also ten." ”

Hua'er laughed again, her face was full of happiness, she shook the jade bracelet on her wrist in the sun, and said, "Childe, look, it's so beautiful." ”

Wei Yan smiled and nodded, took ten copper plates, ten taels of silver, and handed them to the boss.

Although the surface of the gold bracelet is a layer of copper skin, in this era, it is genuine gold, and ten taels of silver are not expensive.

The boss took it with a smile and gave him a knowing look.

When Wei Yan took the painting and walked for a distance, the painting reacted, don't look at the stall and the smiling boss, and said with a confused face: "Childe, the slave just saw you give him ten taels of silver." ”

Wei Yan pulled her and continued to walk forward, saying, "Don't be moved, your jade bracelet is indeed ten taels of silver." ”

The painting still tilted his head to the back, looking at the stall in a daze, and after a while, Fang turned around, his mouth flattened, and said aggrievedly: "Don't you think the slave is a fool?" ”

Wei Yan: "......"
