I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

After Shi Yueying finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Minglou, so nervous that she didn't even remember when she held her breath, she almost blushed.

The people present were also silent for a while.

Qi Chang didn't care about the business of the inn, and just did his own job well; Zhao San didn't dare to show it on his face even though he was feeling turbulent in his heart, for fear that his flattery would fall on the horse's feet again and offend his young master; Lan Unable to understand these business stories, she simply picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water for her young lady, glanced at Xiao Minglou's half-empty teacup, hummed silently, and filled his glass unwillingly. , and even helped him to skim off the froth in the tea.

She thought she was doing it in a concealed manner, and the people present would not notice, but she did not expect that Xiao Minglou would whisper "Thank you" to her at this moment, and even picked up the cup of tea while it was hot, drinking it with an expression of enjoyment The next sip: "Good tea! Sure enough, good tea still needs to be brewed by a good hand. Miss Lan'er has a high quality and a heart, and she is worthy of being Miss Shi's personal maid."

Lan'er looked confused: "...I just poured a cup of tea casually?"

However, Xiao Minglou looked at Shi Yueying: "Miss is worthy of being from a wealthy businessman's family, and her talent in business management is not as good as mine. If only Zhao San could be half as smart as Miss, it would be great!"

The last sigh was quite sincere, even Xiao Minglou's brows and eyes were stained with a touch of melancholy.

Shi Yueying hurriedly said that she didn't dare to do it, and Zhao Sanze had the urge to cry again.

He didn't want to be so dull, but he was not born to be a shopkeeper!

"But this matter is not so easy to accomplish. Now that the people in the town are unwilling to associate with us, I am afraid that the tooth shop will not recruit people who are willing to work for Mr. Xiao..." Shi Yueying finished her idea and helped Xiao Minglou thought of the difficulties in implementing it, and he was sincere and thorough in every aspect of the test.

Xiao Minglou glanced at her, and smiled slightly: "It just so happens that I already have an idea about the manpower, and I can leave this matter to me and A Chou... By the way, to 'recruit' these people, it may be necessary to go For three to five days, when we are not in the inn, the two girls try not to go out, and leave everything to Zhao San, and there is an enchantment to protect you in the inn."

Xiao Minglou knew very well what the Zhang brothers were capable of, and they still wanted to coax Shi Yueying into revealing the whereabouts of the token, and they would never do anything to her, nor did they dare to do it.After all, the inn is the only place they can stay now, even if they want to tear themselves apart, they will wait until the people from Feihe Sect come over, and he and Ah Chou should be back by then.

Shi Yueying nodded and said yes, after thinking about it, she glanced at Xiao Minglou hesitantly: "Mr. Xiao... can I borrow a step and talk?" She was a little shy, but also a little helpless and squeezed her fingers tightly. .

"Okay, what do you want to tell me?" Xiao Minglou looked at her quite gently, with his head tilted slightly, a lock of hair fell on his snow-white skin, the beauty was indescribably beautiful, and it made people yearn for it .

Even though Shi Yueying had been with him for several months, she still would accidentally lose her mind for a moment, she hurriedly said sorry, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then looked at Ah who was standing behind him without saying a word. Chou: "This matter is just a private matter, can you let Ah Chou... avoid it for a while?"

Qi Chang glanced at her expressionlessly, his eyes were as cold as ice knives, Shi Yueying shivered from the cold eyes, her lips trembled slightly.In front of Ah Chou, it was really difficult for her to speak.

Xiao Minglou also looked back at Qi Chang, smiled and put his shoulders on him.Qi Chang's eyes were dim, his brows were tightly frowned, his breath was low, and an invisible evil spirit burst out.

Just when Qi Chang thought that he would let him avoid him, Xiao Minglou turned to Shi Yueying and said, "A Chou is now my person, he is different with me, so there is no need to avoid him. If you have something to say, miss Straight up."

Shi Yueying's face turned pale for a moment, then she carefully pulled herself together and looked at Xiao Minglou hesitantly: "Mr. Xiao, is there any quarrel between you and Mr. Zhang and his brothers?" She saw Xiao Minglou's face. The smile on his face softened a little, and he became even more flustered, subconsciously speaking out his guess.

"I... I found out that you seldom talk to them recently. Even when discussing how to save the business of the inn, you avoid Mr. Zhang and the others... So I was wondering, do you hate them? You, you Don't get me wrong, I'm not speaking for them, I just want to know, is there any reason for this?"

Shi Yueying looked at Xiao Minglou, and lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "After all, I believe in the young master's vision, you can discover Ah Chou's talent, and there are shopkeepers like Zhao Da and Zhao San under him, and we are here again The first person to help us after the world of cultivation. In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason. The person who can make Mr. Xiao hate him must have done something wrong. Mr. Zhang and the second The young master is indeed a little arrogant at ordinary times, but I think it's not just their temperament that annoyed you..."

She said that she was not very confident in the end, if Lan'er heard these words, she would definitely yell at the young lady to wake up quickly, "How can a cunning and treacherous person like Xiao Minglou be trusted!" In all likelihood, she would say that to Shi Yueying.

Xiao Minglou stared at Shi Yueying for a long time.

Shi Yueying became more and more anxious when she saw her, and hurriedly said: "Just pretend that I didn't ask anything just now, Mr. Xiao doesn't need to answer me, I... I'll go back now!"

"Wait." Xiao Minglou took a breath slowly, showing a sincere smile, "It seems that Miss is not blinded by love as I guessed, Master Shi raised you very well, but I'm a villain, and I'm going to apologize to Miss here."

He really clasped his fists in both hands, half bent down, and saluted Shi Yueying gracefully.How dare Shi Yueying ask him to apologize to herself, she hurriedly supported him, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to do this, I, I didn't say anything!"

Xiao Minglou shook his head, but insisted on completing the ceremony.

He slightly regretted the decision he made that day.After all, this is still a little girl, even though she is innocent and kind and easily deceived, it is not her fault.What's more, even so, she didn't lose herself, she was still able to remain calm and composed, and she didn't blindly stand on the side of her fiancé, which was extremely rare.

The feeling of being betrayed is not good, and it is even more painful to be stabbed in the back by someone close to you. Why should the heartbreaking pain fall on her?

Besides, he is not qualified to manipulate the life of an innocent girl.

Xiao Minglou sighed secretly, layers of bitterness and helplessness flooded his heart, his eyes dimmed for a moment, he bit the tip of his tongue, endured the sourness, and smiled with the corner of his lips, as if he had practiced it many times People can't catch any flawed smiles.

Even if she wants to vent her anger on A Chou and let Shi Yueying see who is the trustworthy person, but even if she sees A Chou's goodness, so what, it is possible that Shi Yueying will regret it and turn around to rob A Chou ugly?

After thinking about it, he curled his lips to Shi Yueying and said, "I can only remind Miss that what you see is not necessarily true, and even the people around you should be on guard. Don't Miss feel that these days have been clean?" Are there many, since the Zhang family appeared, those assassins have disappeared."

Now is not the time to tell her all the truth, Xiao Minglou is still pointing at the two brothers to draw deeper inside story, and he has to catch them slowly.If she told Shi Yueying, if she showed anything wrong, the two brothers might pack up and run away overnight.

At that time, his arrangements in Fog City will be in vain.

Therefore, he chose to tell some of the facts, and asked her to be vigilant and be careful of these two brothers.

Although Shi Yueying didn't get a specific answer, she heard something very important from Xiao Minglou. She nodded thoughtfully and left.

After she left, Qi Chang helped him into an ordinary carriage, but the horse that pulled the carriage was still the same horse—because Gao Hong died, the magic weapon he left naturally became ownerless , the Zhang brothers took back the Wuyun treasure car, but Xiao Minglou took the horse.

After getting into the carriage, Qi Chang pointed out: "She likes you."

"Huh?" Xiao Minglou rolled up the curtain of the car, leaned half of his body out of the car, put his hands on Qi Chang's shoulders, put his whole body weight on the opponent's back, and rested his chin on the side of Qi Chang's neck, as if A soft snake clings to Qi Chang's body, exhaling like blue, "What did you say?"

Qi Chang almost lost his grip on the rein, tensed his whole body, and repeated in a low voice: "She is close to Zhang Dalang, but it is the order of her parents and the affection of her childhood sweetheart. And she also cares about your thoughts, lest you will not be happy..." After thinking about it, Qi Chang said, "She has a kind of blind trust in you."

In fact, it's not just Shi Yueying, Lan'er who often talks back to him, Zhao San who is guilty and short-tempered, and even himself, who hasn't been subconsciously convinced by his charm?

He alone can stir the hearts and souls of many people.

Xiao Minglou was silent for a moment, already knowing everything.

Qi Chang gripped the reins tightly, his knuckles turned white with force, he didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear from Xiao Minglou, but he still pricked up his ears and listened with bated breath.However, Xiao Minglou just smiled lazily, reached out and pinched his earlobe: "A Chou, are you jealous again?"

Xiao Minglou's fingertips were surprisingly soft and warm, rubbing his earlobe red, as if it was about to bleed.The instigator saw Qi Chang's red ears and made fun of him for a while.

Qi Chang was forced to shout helplessly: "Don't make trouble!"

Seeing that he was really annoyed, Xiao Minglou let go of his poor ears, supported his head with his hands, turned his head to stare at Qi Chang's scarred face, and murmured softly: "...the one who likes me It’s too much, I used to treat them as well, but then I realized that these likings can be compromised for many things, it’s like a mirror, and it’s broken with a poke.”

Qi Chang frowned, and heard that Xiao Minglou's tone was not as usual. His body was ahead of his head, and he held Xiao Minglou's slender wrist with one free hand, and warmth spread from the place where their skins touched. open.

"Sorry, if I accidentally mentioned your sadness..."

Xiao Minglou shook his head, smiled quietly and relieved: "Do you see that I look sad? If you have the time, why don't you study the way of eating, drinking, entertainment and business, otherwise you think we are going now?"

Qi Chang really didn't know where he was going, and his eyes showed doubts.

Xiao Minglou's smile slowly became sly and joking: "Isn't our inn short of manpower right now? I know a place where a large number of young and strong men with nowhere to go are waiting to be taken in."

"... Where?" Qi Chang already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Duanmuxie's cave, isn't there a hundred or so male stoves in his family? They have been harvested all the year round, and their lifespan has plummeted for no reason. How could these people be willing to stay, and those who can become stoves must be He has a certain level of cultivation, and it’s definitely not a problem to send a meal out.” Xiao Minglou’s eyes lit up, and there seemed to be an abacus in his hand, just as he was speaking faster and faster, “They all said help The kindness of Yongquan is reciprocated, we will solve the devils for these furnaces, and we don’t need any Yongquan, how about signing them a ten-year long-term contract first?”
