Chapter seven hundred and fortieth IX do not give face
This banquet table upstairs has actually always touched the heart of the restaurant owner here.
Being able to open a restaurant here with a high standard, of course there will be some support or backers behind it, which can at least prevent them from most of the troubles they encounter in daily life.
However, these reliance and backing may sometimes be insufficient in front of some people.
The table upstairs belongs to this group.
These dandies in Kyoto may not have much ability themselves, but their family background means that they are often the Duke of the country, a third or fourth-rank official in the dynasty, and they cannot afford to offend them...
Fortunately, although there are a few tables upstairs, they are far apart and everything is always peaceful.
The shopkeeper withdrew his eyes from them and turned his attention to the group of people walking into the door.
A young man, who looked tight but handsome, was followed by two women, both of whom were very good-looking. Behind the three of them, the old man who looked slovenly ruined the atmosphere.
, making these four people look a little strange as a whole.
After calling a waiter over to wait, he stopped paying attention and concentrated on moving the abacus in his hand.
Speaking of which, this calculation thing produced by the academy is really useful. Using this thing called an "abacus" to calculate accounts is much more convenient and faster than before.
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin, what's wrong?"
At a table somewhere on the second floor, the young man asked carefully again.
"It's okay." Qin Yu finally withdrew his hand and drank the wine in one gulp. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
The young man turned his head and glanced down. He was slightly startled when his eyes swept over somewhere.
Then he looked back, thinking of some kind of rumors about this young master Qin, and his heart suddenly suddenly dawned.
He glanced down again, and his heart suddenly became alive.
"Young Master Qin, please excuse me for a moment."
After that, there was another exchange of cups and cups. At a certain moment, the young man stood up, said an apology, turned around and walked downstairs.
Qin Yu's eyes moved slightly and he glanced down, but he didn't stop him.
Wei Liangjun is the son of a new minister in the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not directly affiliated with the Chen family, he has a deep connection with the Chen family. The newly appointed minister Wei has achieved a lot in a short period of time after taking office.
, had a good reputation in the court, and was a figure strongly promoted by the Chen family during this period.
Opposite Qin Yu, Zeng Zijian glanced down, his face was gloomy, and his facial expression was slightly twitching. The man and the woman had some indelible impressions in his mind, but hatred turned to hatred, which did not hinder him.
I feel that the smart-aleck Wei Liangjun is a complete idiot.
In the past five months, Kyoto has been turbulent. Some officials have been banished from the capital. Naturally, some officials have emerged and entered the center of power. The momentary glory has made some fools feel that they can do whatever they want in this place.
However, he didn't care what happened to Wei Liangjun.
Although he didn't want to see that person, he couldn't help but glance downwards.
Has that person ------ finally come back?
Qin Yu's face was calm, and when he was drinking with the dandies and cowards around him who wanted to cling to the Qin family, there was a hint of gloom deep in his eyes...
"Li Yi..."
Li Yi is ordering food.
Ordering is actually a science. How many people order how many dishes, how hot or cold, how hot or how cold the soup is, how dry it is, are all very particular. Later generations even had special training for this kind of thing.
But today we are all our own people here, so there is no need to worry about this.
Xiaocui was a qualified intelligence agent. Zeng Zuimo and Wan Ruoqing had accidentally revealed to him what food they liked to eat. As for the sloppy old man, it was enough for him to have sweets.
When he was ordering the seventh dish, Wan Ruoqing said: "These are enough. The few of us can't eat that much."
Li Yi ordered another dish and a soup, and then dismissed the waiter.
There is no need to worry about not eating enough and wasting it. Since his martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds, his appetite has increased greatly. A mere eight dishes and one soup is simply trivial.
Miss Zeng opposite looked very worried, silent, and occasionally distracted. Li Yi guessed that it had something to do with Zeng, the Minister of Household Affairs. The downfall of the Zeng family more than ten years ago seemed to be inextricably linked to him.
No wonder it affected Zeng Zuimo's mood.
I heard Xiaocui mention it before. She said she would never come to Kyoto in her life. I am afraid it is because of this reason.
Li Yi was thinking about whether to tell those people that if Zeng dared to run around in the future, he would be in a bad mood and break his legs so that he could go to court on crutches.
Wan Ruoqing doesn't tell many truths, but as long as she talks about Goulan or the store, she becomes good at talking.
Li Yi is not a qualified boss. She is actually taking care of these things. It is not easy for a woman to be able to manage such a big business in an orderly manner so that he does not have any worries.
Such a woman should be very good at running a house.
Just when Li Yi's mind was at a loss, a voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Girls, are you interested in going up for a drink?"
Of course, this sentence was not meant for him. When Li Yi looked over, he saw a strange man coming from behind, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at Wan Ruoqing and saying.
There are always bees and butterflies around beautiful women.
This situation is very common in this era, not only in this era, but also in later generations.
Wan Ruoqing was talking to Li Yi with a smile on her face. She looked back, her face returned to calm, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, we don't know you."
"It's okay, don't we know each other now?" The smile on the young man's face became even brighter, and he said with a smile: "I'm Wei Junliang, my father is the Minister of Rites."
From the time he came over to the time he said these words, he never looked at Li Yi.
There is no need at all. After all, there are many dandies in Kyoto, and there are many who he can't afford to offend. But before that, he had done enough homework. The identities and appearances of those people were already familiar to him, so he didn't care.
Including the young man in front of me.
What's more, if he is really a person with status and status, how can he not have two decent guards around him?
As for the old guy who looked like he was about to enter a coffin, he automatically ignored him.
"The Minister of Rites?" Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the Minister of Rites Chen Bo?"
Zeng Zuimo glanced at him and whispered: "A few months ago, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed from his post and imprisoned. The current minister's surname is Wei."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Young Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a fourth-grade official can be changed at any time. It's really hard to be an official now..."
Zeng Zuimo looked at him with some astonishment. The reason why the former Minister of Rites was investigated was because of the accounting investigation a few months ago, and that incident...
When she heard about the Minister of Rites, Wan Ruoqing's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Li Yi, thinking whether this incident would have any impact on him. Then she looked at the young man and said, "Sorry, I
My friends are here.”
"Are you talking about this girl?" Wei Junliang still had a smile on his face and said, "It doesn't matter, this girl can come with us..."
"Sorry." Wan Ruoqing said calmly.
Wei Junliang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "This is not to give Wei some face..."
