Chapter 32 The chaotic circle
After the recruitment notice was posted, Tayun Restaurant closed early on the grounds that the food and wine were sold out. When Pei Yu wanted to discuss other business with Wei Jiu, he heard that Wei Jiu had taken a rest, so he went back home. On the way home, Pei Yu wanted to discuss other business matters with Wei Jiu.
Yu was also advising himself not to force the child, as he had indeed never had a good rest.
In the early morning of the next day, there were many people in the store. A slight noise woke up Wei Jiu who had been sleeping for a day and a half. When he walked down the stairs in a daze, he was stunned. What time was it? I asked carefully.
Li Chongyi later learned that this group of people came to the restaurant to work after reading the notice at the door.
Dad Loli can handle this kind of thing alone. Wei Jiu ignored it. Anyway, he has taught Dad Loli some simple and commonly made dishes in the past few days. As for the rest, he can study it by himself.
If you can't research it, you have no choice but to teach them a little bit.
But just as he turned around, Dad Loli rushed up the stairs, put his arms around Wei Jiu's neck and dragged him downstairs, whispering while dragging him back.
"Why are you going? How do I know these things? If you ask me to work in someone else's house, I will do it! If you ask others to work for me, I feel sorry for the money."
"What are you feeling distressed about? You just have to choose whoever you like. The only requirement is that you choose someone who is young, quick to learn, and nimble in movement. If you have studied in a restaurant, you will be great in the future. Hey, hey, hey? Bro, wait.
wait."
Wei Jiu fell in love with a pair of young people who were not sure whether they were brothers and sisters or a couple. The boy should be around sixteen or seventeen years old, because his Adam's apple was very obvious, and he also had a little velvety beard on his chin. The young man looked a little nervous, and when he saw Wei Jiu
After Jiu stared at him, his face became even more nervous. His nervousness made the girl next to him even more nervous.
All in all, it was very stressful.
Wei Jiu walked up and patted his shoulder, grinning.
"What? Newly married?"
The young man quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.
"No, no, no, this is my sister."
"Oh, name, age, place of origin, address."
After some questioning by Wei Jiu, he learned that this boy, Shi Qi, had no name. His parents had passed away a long time ago. When he became wise, he was greedy for candied haws on the street and named himself after him. His sister was one year younger than him.
, he named her Tang'er. Wei Jiu was very glad that he didn't name his sister Zhuanzi. Maybe he also felt it was a bit unpleasant.
The Hulutang brother and sister looked good, and Wei Jiu decided on the spot in order to deal with the Loli daddy.
"My gourd will go to the kitchen to make knives and help prepare the goods. Tang'er will be the maid who serves the dishes. Within three days, I will learn to read the menu with Brother Su. If there are not enough people, I will go home and stay. The rest will be old
Brother, you choose, I have something else to do."
Wei Jiu ran away, and the Hulutang brothers and sisters were a little excited. They didn't have any hope of staying, but they never expected to stay here so easily. They didn't ask about monthly money. The two brothers and sisters thought that they only needed to give them food.
Just eat. As for Wei Jiu, he was too lazy to say anything. His idea was to give more if he made more, and less if he made less.
When she came to the backyard, Wei Jiu couldn't help but shudder. She saw Li Chongyi's naked back exercising in this cold day. Wei Jiu was curious, isn't Li Chongyi cold?
At this time, Qin Huaiyu stood at the door of the backyard and said softly.
"Just get used to it. As the eldest son in a military general's family, everyone has this experience. Yuchi Baolin of the Yuchi family, Cheng Chumo of the Cheng family, including me of the Qin family, all have to wear clothes when practicing martial arts in winter. The old men have to
Face, we are the ones suffering. I heard that the children of nobles and gentry families are locked up like this, so it is not a strange thing."
Hearing this, Wei Jiu had some doubts. Can a filial son really come out of a stick? These two guys have received a lot of sticks, but the word filial piety can't be seen anywhere?
Li Chongyi, who was too lazy to pay attention to the irritation, walked into the room side by side with Qin Huaiyu. After squatting down by the stove, he cupped Qin Huaiyu's shoulders.
"Huaiyu, I have something to ask you."
Qin Huaiyu stretched out a pair of red hands and said softly.
"you say."
"Why do I feel that the Chang'an circle is a bit chaotic? I know that you are close to Chongyi and Wu Wangke, but why do you feel disgusted when you mention Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo? And Cui Mang, he seems to only bring
Traveling with Lu Jun, I heard there is also Cui Luo?"
Qin Huaiyu thought Wei Jiu was going to ask some difficult questions. It turned out that he couldn't understand the current situation in Chang'an. He took out three cups of boiling water, placed one cup on the threshold, and left two cups for each person. After drinking a sip of hot water,
Qin Huaiyu smiled.
"The circle in Chang'an is indeed a bit chaotic. Because of family reasons, Chongyi and I are relatively close to Li Ke. To be precise, we hate those intrigues and fights for the throne. The two honest men of the Cheng family and the Yuchi family are playing with His Highness the Crown Prince.
When you get older, your relationship will naturally become closer, you understand this?"
Wei Jiu nodded, indicating that he understood, and took a sip of hot water. Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu said again.
"As for Cui Mang, he is a scandal in the Cui family. His mother is from the Cui family. There was an accident that year. I won't tell you. I guess. He is not popular in the Cui family, but he has a big brother demeanor among the younger generations of the gentry.
As for Cui Luo, I have only met him a few times. He is aloof and arrogant. He is the direct son and future head of the Cui family. He is extremely arrogant. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of King Wu. That is because of his aloof temper.
He is not popular among the junior members of the gentry, but now he and Cui Mang are evenly matched, after all, Lu Jun is the legitimate son of the Lu family."
"In other words, Cui Mang himself is not strong enough, but his brothers have a high status in the family and respect him, so the Cui family does not dare to look down upon him now?"
Qin Huaiyu curled his lips and nodded, then said something that made Wei Jiu couldn't help laughing.
"Cui Luo is almost the same as King Wei!"
Cui Luo was aloof and unpopular, and Li Tai was about the same. As for the fact that there was a Guan Gong aristocratic group, Wei Jiu didn't ask, but from the history textbook he knew that the Guan Gong group was very united, and it was a mess.
Li Chongyi came back after training and asked, pointing to the water glass on the threshold.
"Are you pouring it from Huaiyu?"
Wei Jiu pointed at Qin Huaiyu, and Li Chongyi picked up the water cup and drank it in one gulp. This scene made Wei Jiu slightly stunned. If he had received the water, Li Chongyi would not have drank it. He was too lazy to argue with Li Chongyi, so he held the water cup with both hands and sipped it.
Drinking water, when Li Chongyi walked past Wei Jiu, he murmured something in a low voice.
"Thanks."
"I didn't pour the water."
"But you poured wine on Lu Jun's head. I know you weren't trying to retaliate against Chou who got hit by a chair."
"It's just a matter of convenience. He bullied us and there is no way he can get back after being beaten. He can only regain face in other ways."
Wei Jiu said it carelessly, but Li Chongyi couldn't really take it as a matter of course. He sat next to Wei Jiu and spoke again.
"Huaiyu has shortlisted a few people. Sun Chong, the eldest son of Duke Qi, Xiaoqu from the Lanling Xiao family, and Dugu Mou from the Dugu family. Not to mention the one in the middle, I guess I will never meet him in this life, but it is inevitable that the two before and after will meet.
If you meet one, it's better to be careful. It is inevitable that King Wei will have a grudge against you now."
This was more than a little messy, it was too messy. By the end of the conversation, Wei Jiu had not figured out the relationship between them when he left the backyard hut, what kind of family relationship, what kind of interest relationship, if he didn't like it, he would be beaten, and if he didn't like it, he would go with him.
Just for fun, where did all these messy things come from?
Also, what does this Chang Sun Chong and Dugu Mou have to do with me, Wei Jiu?
When I returned to the restaurant with a confused mind, two people happened to walk into the Tayun Restaurant. The man was luxuriously dressed and quite handsome. The woman next to him was about eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a purple dress and a bun. She looked cute.
, but one glance can confirm that this girl will definitely be a loser when she grows up. Everyone in the restaurant was busy, so Wei Jiu had to step forward to receive the two of them.
"Welcome to Tayun Restaurant, please come inside with handsome men and beauties. How about a private room on the second floor?"
They were making invitations, but the man and woman did not move. The man looked at Wei Jiu, frowned slightly, and said softly.
"Are you Wei Jiu?"
Wei Jiu quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, the villain Wei Ba, Wei Jiu is dead!"
Before the man opened his mouth, the girl beside him giggled.
"It must be Wei Jiu, right? It's exactly the same as what the eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother said. How can it not be him? My name is Li Lizhi, and I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Since you are familiar with my brother, please call me Changle from now on.
Okay, brother Chong, let’s go upstairs.”
It wasn't until the man and woman walked upstairs that Wei Jiu recovered from his shock.
"Is this girl Changle? Li Er's favorite daughter? Isn't that brother Chong her fiancé Zhang Sun Chong?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived?
"Brother, there are distinguished guests on the second floor. Please ask Chongyi and the others to take care of them. I have something to do and will leave first."
