My husband is a monster

The wind in early spring is still chilly, but it is still warm.

The thick snow and ice began to melt a few days ago. The whiteness of the eaves, walls, and forest trees faded away, and melted into water, which seeped into the ground, streams and gutters, and the ground was moist and dry.

The plan for a day lies in the morning, and the plan for a year lies in spring. When the footsteps of spring arrive, people also start a year of hard work.

The streets of Linfeng City are as prosperous as ever, and there are as many merchants and hawkers as they come and go.

The business of Xiao-Xianglou is bustling, and it is very lively to welcome people in and out.

Yuan Che stood by the railing on the third floor, listening to the shopkeeper's report on the restaurant's recent situation, with a smile on his lips.

I don't know if An An woke up, but he specifically ordered the kitchen to warm up the red bean porridge, so that he can eat it as soon as he wakes up. He must be very hungry, and he might lose his temper again?Yuan Che's smile deepened, um, I'll coax you when I go back later.

Daddy's health is improving, and he was released again yesterday. Yuan Che is fully satisfied physically and mentally, and now he can turn his attention to business.

From the New Year to the present, he has been out of the board of directors for almost a month, and there are quite a lot of jobs accumulated, large and small.

"...The matter in the kitchen is like this at the moment, how do you think we should deal with it?" The shopkeeper bowed and finished the report, and found that he hadn't heard anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but looked up, and saw that the eyes of the head of the family were empty, and there was still a silly look on his face. The smile, obviously wandering away.

The shopkeeper paused suspiciously, "Master?"

Shocked by the shopkeeper's sudden increase in volume, Yuan Che thought that he had lost his dignity in a daze in front of his subordinates, so he could not help coughing, and asked with a serious face: "What do you think?"

"I think we should do our best to keep Chef Cui, at least until a successor is found or after his apprentice has completely left the teacher." The shopkeeper said.

"Then how do you think you should stay?" Yuan Che asked again.

"This……"

Chef Cui has been working in the restaurant for more than 20 years. Needless to say, he is skilled. Many gourmets basically come for Chef Cui's culinary skills. If Chef Cui leaves, the business of his restaurant will definitely be greatly affected.

Of course, their restaurant gave the chef a very good treatment, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed for decades.

So this time he suddenly wanted to leave, not because of being poached, but because of a personal matter. His son married in another prefecture, and this year he has a grandson. His son hopes that Chef Cui can go there and enjoy the family happiness .

Chef Cui has only taken in three apprentices in his life, one is his son, who has learned the true story, and now he opened a restaurant in the neighboring Fucheng, and the business is booming.

Chef Cui's culinary skills were learned in the original restaurant. When he was still an apprentice, he was taken in by the chef at the time and taught by his apprentice.He is grateful, so he has stayed in the original restaurant, and took over the master's position as the chef after the master passed away.

His son also knew his father's temperament, so when he set up his own family, he didn't ask his father to help him, so as to save his father from embarrassment.

Chef Cui originally wanted to recruit an apprentice to teach him with all his heart so that he could succeed him as the head chef in the future, but he didn't expect that the second apprentice was talented but had a bad temper. It made him fall on his back and directly break away from the master-student relationship.

The third apprentice is a good one, honest and honest, willing to endure hardships, but his talent is not high, so he has not yet graduated from the teacher and cannot take on the responsibility of the chef.

Now that other people's sons have to be filial, it's not easy for their masters to stop them, right?But I didn't expect it to be so urgent.

Yuan Che didn't think about it. He thought that Chef Cui would not leave until he had taught a successor. Find a chef to come and say it's preparations, and take your place at any time, right?Isn't this chilling the hearts of employees?

But Chef Cui is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If he shows his affection, he should stay for a while. No matter what, let's talk to him first.

Yuan Che originally wanted to talk to Chef Cui in person, but the waiter downstairs ran upstairs to report that an old friend had come to visit.

old man?Yuan Che couldn't guess who it was, "Did you say who it was?"

Xiao Er shook his head and said: "He said that as long as he tells you that a friend is coming from the capital, you will know."

Beijing?He didn't know many people from the capital, Yuan Che thought of just one person, right?Why is he here?

"You explain our situation to Chef Cui, let him stay for as long as possible, and let him decide whether to bring the apprentice out to take over and leave, or wait for us to recruit a new chef to take over before leaving. Let me also mention it. Our recommendation is the former."

Yuan Che briefly explained what he meant, then went downstairs, and led by Xiao Er into a box on the second floor.

"Brother Yuan, long time no see."

Facing the man who was sitting at the table holding a teacup and looking at him with a smile and greeted him, Yuan Che raised his eyebrows, walked over and sat opposite.

"Long time no see, Brother Ji, why are you free?"

The person who came was Ji Mingyu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Yuan Che was really curious. Can a dignified prince leave the capital so easily?

Could it be an office job?

But he didn't notice that there was a major event near Fucheng that required a prince to be dispatched.

"I heard that the old lady is sick, is it getting better?"

"It's much better, thank you for your concern."

"That's good, brother, how is he doing recently?" Ji Mingyu is more than a year younger than Yuan Che, so it's okay to call Lin Youan brother.

"Very good." Thinking of An An, his smile became warmer.

"Oh, where's Zhifeng? I haven't heard much about him recently. The last time I came to Beijing, I ran away after only a few days. It seems that everyone in the capital is full of wolves, tigers and leopards."

Yuan Che couldn't help laughing, "That guy is chic, he's chasing his sweetheart recently, he's always staying in one place for a long time, especially in places like Shangjing, where there are so many rules, he probably feels uncomfortable."

"Yo, I still have a sweetheart, who is it? Do I know him?" Ji Mingyu asked enthusiastically.

"You do not know."

"..."

After chatting about a lot of homework, Yuan Che saw the unconcealable gloomy look in Ji Mingyu's brows, and asked, "Just talk about me, how about you? How are you doing recently?" Seemingly not in a good mood, Yuan Che I don't know how to see a doctor, but I always feel that Ji Mingyu is depressed. Ji Mingyu smiled bitterly, but didn't answer.With a wave of his hand, the five subordinates who stood still like statues filed out, closed the door, and waited outside the door.

Although those five people were ordinary-looking, they didn't have any impression at first glance, but Yuan Che remembered that he had seen them a few times. They were some of the guards who were directly named by Ji Mingyu's subordinates.

"What are you?" The guard stayed so little, it felt like running away from home.

Looking at Ji Mingyu's story-telling appearance, Yuan Che suddenly felt uncomfortable. Why did he feel that Ji Mingyu wanted to confide in him as a bosom friend?

"My father is determined to go his own way and wants to pass on the family to me. In another month, I will be announced as the heir." Because outside, Ji Mingyu did not clearly reveal his identity and expressed it more reservedly, but Yuan Che knew his family, so he directly substituted go in...

Yuan Che: "..." How does it feel to be the tree hole of the future emperor?

Yuan Che's whole body is not well, and everything in the wind and chaos is not enough to describe his feelings. Could it be that he has the face of a bosom brother?

Ji Mingyu obviously knew the impact such a sensitive topic would have on ordinary people, but he couldn't find anyone to confide in, and couldn't vomit out for a long time.

Because of his status, all he met around him were people who were related in one way or another. Even if there were a few who could be called friends, there were still some barriers. After all, the status of superiors and inferiors could not allow them to communicate without reservation.

After thinking about it, only Yuan Che, a friend who has nothing to do with the imperial court, can talk about it.

Yuan Che understood what he meant, wiped his face, and said, "This is a good thing." Several princes were fighting to the death and couldn't get that position, and Ji Mingyu was directly pointed out as the heir by that one, but she looked unwilling , This is going to be seen by other princes, and you still vomit blood in anger?

"But, but this is clearly my second elder brother's! I can't feel at ease...I can't do it..." Ji Mingyu looked pained. His elder brother should be the heir, and no one else is worthy...

two?His Royal Highness the Second Prince?He remembered that this very prince passed away several years ago, Yuan Che was surprised, and suddenly thought of the gossip circulating in the royal family.

It is said that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is capable of writing at the age of three and is capable of martial arts at the age of seven. He was trained as an heir, and he even drew up the title long ago, and waited for the second prince to come back from the battle to be crowned prince directly.

And it is said that the younger brother, the Ninth Prince, was brought up by the second prince, so there is no need to talk about the relationship between the two.

It's a pity that the second prince, who was favored for a while, was framed in the war and died in battle.

Needless to say, the series of turmoil caused later, the monstrous anger of the royal family needs the blood of the culprit to quell.

As a bystander, Yuan Che even thought badly about whether the taboo second prince would let him die in battle.

But seeing that the body was rapidly deteriorating due to the death of the second prince, and desperately wanted to avenge him, Yuan Che knew that his heart was dark.

Originally, these were far away from him, and he only listened to gossip, but he got to know Ji Mingyu and became friends with Ji Mingyu, and he was the Ninth Highness who was raised by the second prince.

"...Elder brother's subordinates, the imperial father... They all said that I should sit in that position. This is obviously my elder brother's...I can't do it if I want to steal his things..." Ji Mingyu's eyes turned red, and they all They were all forcing him, never thinking about the torment he was enduring.

He still thinks back to the memory of the boy who smiled gently and dotingly hugged him as a young boy...so vivid.

Yuan Che listened quietly and did not speak. When his agitation calmed down, he poured him a cup of tea in silence.

Ji Mingyu was a little embarrassed, "I made you laugh." But he said all the words hidden in his heart, and he felt much better, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Ji Mingyu had finished speaking, Yuan Che said, "Well, what I'm going to say later may be a bit unpleasant, but from the standpoint of a friend, I hope you can listen to it."

"Ok?"

"Don't you think you've stumbled into a dead end, Ayu?"

"what?"
