Happy Little Scholar

The banquet upstairs has always been on the mind of the restaurant owner.

To be able to open a restaurant here, and with a high standard, there must be some support or backers behind them, at least they can prevent most of the troubles they encounter on weekdays.

However, these support and backers may not be good enough in front of some people.

The table upstairs belongs to this category.

These dandies in Kyoto may not have much ability, but their family backgrounds are often dukes, third- and fourth-rank officials of the current dynasty. You can't afford to offend them...

Fortunately, although there are a few tables upstairs, they are far apart and have always been at peace.

The shopkeeper withdrew his eyes from them and cast his gaze on the group of people who walked into the door.

A young man, who looked unfamiliar but handsome, followed by two women, both of whom were outstanding in appearance. The sloppy-looking old man who followed behind the three men ruined the atmosphere, making the four people look a little strange.

He called a waiter to wait, and then stopped paying attention and concentrated on the abacus in his hand.

Speaking of which, the things made by the abacus academy are really useful. It is much more convenient and faster to use this thing called "abacus" to calculate accounts than before.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, what's wrong?"

At a table on the second floor, the young man asked again carefully.

"Nothing." Qin Yu finally took back his hand and drank the wine in the glass. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.

The young man turned his head and looked down. When his eyes swept across a certain place, he was slightly stunned.

Then he retracted his eyes and thought of some rumors about this young master Qin, and his heart immediately understood.

He glanced down again, and his heart suddenly became lively.

"Mr. Qin, I'll leave you for a while."

After that, there was another round of toasting. At a certain moment, the young man stood up, said something apologetically, and turned to walk downstairs.

Qin Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced down, but did not stop him.

Wei Liangjun was the son of a new minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he was not directly under the Chen family, he had a deep connection with the Chen family. The new minister Wei had made a lot of achievements in a short period of time after taking office. He had a good reputation in the court and was a figure promoted by the Chen family during this period.

Opposite Qin Yu, Zeng Zijian glanced down, his face was slightly gloomy, and his facial expression was faintly twitching. The man and the woman both left some indelible impressions in his heart. However, hatred was hatred, which did not prevent him from thinking that the self-righteous Wei Liangjun was a complete fool.

In the past five months, Kyoto has been in turmoil. Some officials have been exiled from the capital, and naturally some officials have emerged and entered the power center. The temporary glory makes some fools feel that they can do whatever they want in this place.

However, he doesn't care about Wei Liangjun.

Although he doesn't want to see that person, his eyes can't help but look down.

That person------is he finally back?

Qin Yu's face is calm. He is hypocritical with the dandies around him who want to cling to the Qin family. When he raises his head to drink, a trace of gloom emerges in the depths of his eyes...

"Li Yi..."

Li Yi is ordering dishes.

Ordering dishes is actually a science. How many dishes should be ordered according to how many people, how many hot dishes should be ordered, how many cold dishes should be ordered, how many soup dishes should be ordered, and how many dry dishes should be ordered. There are even special trainings for this in later generations.

But today, everyone here is his own people, so there is no need to worry about these.

Xiao Cui was a qualified intelligence agent. She had accidentally revealed to him what dishes Zeng Zuimo and Wan Ruoqing liked to eat. As for the sloppy old man, he was satisfied with the candy.

When he ordered the seventh dish, Wan Ruoqing said, "These are enough. We can't eat so much."

Li Yi ordered another dish and a soup, and then sent the waiter away.

He didn't have to worry about the problem of not being able to finish the food. Since his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, his appetite has increased greatly. Eight dishes and a soup are nothing.

The girl opposite Zeng looked worried and didn't say a word. She would occasionally be distracted. Li Yi guessed that it should be related to the Minister Zeng of the Ministry of Revenue. The downfall of the Zeng family more than ten years ago seemed to be inextricably linked to him. No wonder it would affect Zeng Zuimo's mood.

I heard Xiao Cui mention it before. She said that she would never come to Kyoto in this life. I'm afraid it's because of this reason.

Li Yi was considering whether to tell those people that if Zeng dared to run around again and upset people, he would break his legs and make him go to court on crutches.

Wan Ruoqing didn't talk much, but she would become talkative as long as she talked about the brothel or the shop.

Li Yi was not a qualified boss. She was actually in charge of all these things. It was not easy for a woman to manage such a big business in an orderly manner and let him have no worries.

Such a woman should be very good at managing the family.

Just when Li Yi's mind was a little bit anchored, a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Ladies, are you interested in going up for a drink?"

This sentence was of course not said to him. When Li Yi looked over, he saw a strange man coming from behind, holding a wine glass in his hand, and looking at Wan Ruoqing and saying.

There are always many bees and butterflies around beautiful women.

This situation is very common in this era, not only in this era, but also in the future.

Wan Ruoqing was originally talking to Li Yi with a smile on her face. She looked back and regained her composure. She shook her head and said, "Sorry, we don't know you."

"It's okay. Now we know each other." The young man smiled even more and said, "My name is Wei Junliang. My father is the Minister of Rites."

From the time he came over to the time he said this, he never looked at Li Yi.

There was no need for this at all. After all, there were many playboys in Kyoto, and there were many he couldn't afford to offend. But before that, he had already done enough homework. He knew the identities and looks of those people by heart, and this young man in front of him was not included.

What's more, if he was really a person of status and position, how could he not have two decent guards around him?

As for the old guy who looked like he was about to enter the coffin, he automatically ignored him.

"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 Rites was dismissed and imprisoned. The current Minister's surname is Wei."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Minister of Rites, a fourth-rank official, can be changed at will. It's really hard to be an official now..."

Zeng Zuimo looked at him in astonishment. The reason why the former Minister of Rites was investigated was because of the account check a few months ago, and that thing...

When he heard about the Minister of Rites, Wan Ruoqing's face changed slightly. He glanced at Li Yi, thinking whether this matter would have any impact on him. Then he looked at the young man and said, "Sorry, my friend is 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 together..."

"Sorry." Wan Ruoqing said calmly.

Wei Junliang's face darkened and he said coldly, "This is not giving face to Wei..."
