The Favorite of the Court of Joy

On the first day of opening, the entire hotel was busy from morning to night, and it was not cleaned until midnight. Everyone was exhausted and paralyzed.The accountant had just finished the accounts and showed them to Zhang Xiaoqian. Today's business is basically flat.Zhang Xiaoqian was quite surprised by this. He thought he would suffer a big loss today. After all, everything was sold at half price, so not losing money is already very impressive.Zhang Xiaoqian thought of the satisfied expressions on the faces of the guests when they left, and the praise of their hotel in their mouths. It seems that the food and wine in their hotel satisfied the guests, which is a good sign.

Tomorrow is the [-]-day banquet of the little prince Zhao Chengxuan. As the emperor's first son, the emperor must hold it grandly. Such a good day is another business opportunity. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the newly opened business, we will celebrate the "big prince's [-]th day" as a publicity In other words, every table will get a [-]% discount tomorrow, and there will be another promotion. He believes that there will be many repeat customers.

As he expected, more people came the next day, but the hotel is so big, there is no room for so many people, so he had to limit the time for diners and let people outside wait in line.But this eventually caused dissatisfaction among the customers. In order to appease their anger, Zhang Xiaoqian gave each table a box of exquisite palace pastries, and those who lined up were given special chrysanthemum tea for free.In this way, there is food, drink and food, and there will be no complaints.

On this day, everyone was busy again. After midnight, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed again. The accountant finished the calculation and showed it to Zhang Xiaoqian again.After Zhang Xiaoqian saw it, he smiled with satisfaction, and secretly rejoiced: "I made it!" But he couldn't be too happy too early, it was just that there was a profit on that day, not a whole month or a year's profit.He has invested so much cost, if they can get income today every day, then they will be able to recover the cost within half a year at the earliest, and then they will make real profits.

In order to boost morale, Zhang Xiaoqian, who was standing on the third floor, first applauded three times to attract the attention of the employees, and then said: "In the past two days, everyone has worked hard and everyone is working hard. I can see it. I am here Promise, our daily profit in the future will be [-]% of what it is today, and I will add [-]% to the salary in the first month."

"Okay, okay~~" The employees up and down applauded enthusiastically. They happily forgot their fatigue for a moment, and felt full of energy all over their bodies.

"Okay, the time is over, and the work at hand is not finished, so finish it quickly. After finishing the work, go back and rest early, and tomorrow you will be in the best state to welcome the guests."

All the employees said in unison: "Yes, boss."

Zhang Xiaoqian saw that they were full of energy again, and he was also motivated, so he could go back to rest with peace of mind.

Zhang Xiaoqian and his staff basically don't live in the hotel. After all, this is Yanliu Lane. Haishi (21:23-[-]:[-]) is the busiest time. How can people who need to work during the day have a good rest?

So Zhang Xiaoqian rented a large house as a staff dormitory for them to live in.However, there are still a few people who specialize in guarding at night in the hotel. Zhang Xiaoqian told those people that your post is called "security guard".These few rough workers who were originally inconspicuous and had to be on call, they had to do all kinds of groceries, just to have a bite to eat, and the wages and the like could be expected to have.Now they are given the job of guarding everyone and the hotel with wages, which makes them feel a sense of dignity and being reused that they have never had before, and vows in their hearts that they must do their jobs well.

And Zhang Xiaoqian, Xiaocheng and others lived in a house he bought.When he returned to the small house that night, the little golden pig happened to wake up after a nap and wanted to feed.The nurse came and hugged her to feed her. The little golden pig moved its mouth, but its eyes kept staring at Zhang Xiaoqian. When Zhang Xiaoqian walked here, his eyes followed here. Where Zhang Xiaoqian moved, his eyes followed there. The nurse said that it was the little golden pig who missed him.

Zhang Xiaoqian sighed, why does he miss his little golden pig.After the wet nurse finished feeding him and patted him lightly, she handed the little golden pig to Zhang Xiaoqian, and said: "Little Shizi will probably not wake up until dawn after going to bed, side concubine, can you please?" Sleeping with Xiao Shizi, as long as you sleep better."

"I know nurse, you can go to bed too."

"Yes, my concubine."

"Wait a minute." The nanny was about to leave when Zhang Xiaoqian called her back again, "Don't call me the side concubine from now on, just like Xiaocheng and the others, just call me master or Xiaoqian, and you don't need to call me a child." Xiaoshizi, Xiaoshizi, just like Xiaocheng and the others by their baby names."

"This..." The wet nurse was afraid of breaking the rules.

"That's it, that's what I said." Zhang Xiaoqian thought that he had resolutely left the palace and left Zhao Minghan, so why did he want the title of concubine?

"Okay, master, I'll go down first."

"Well, let's go."

The nurse closed the door, leaving the father and son looking at each other with sleepy eyes, Zhang Xiaoqian was sleepy from exhaustion, and little golden pig was sleepy from full.The bed was very big, Zhang Xiaoqian put the little golden pig inside, and he was outside, looking at his son's sleeping face, he said to himself: "Good night, my little baby."

Originally, Zhang Xiaoqian thought that he was so tired that it would be easy to fall asleep lying down with his eyes closed, but on the contrary, he tossed and turned for a long time before he really fell asleep.

Why?Because I thought of Zhao Minghan.

Yesterday was the child's [-] days, but he was not with the child. He knew that he had a mission, but how could he not even write a letter back? Could it be that he and the child were never in his heart.Thinking that today is Zhao Chengzhen's [-]th day, the emperor must have held a grand banquet for his first little prince in the palace.Originally, a carriage came to invite him into the palace to participate, but he didn't go, and he didn't want to go, for fear of looking at him and reminding him of Zhao Minghan, that irresponsible scumbag, it would be happier to stay in the hotel and earn his small money.

However, Zhang Xiaoqian was wrong.This hundred-day banquet was not held in a grand manner, and Zhao Minghan didn't want to write a letter back.He was thinking about his son's [-]th day, and thought of coming back to hold a [-]th day banquet for his son in person, but he had just curbed the locust plague in Lingnan, and he was about to return home quickly, when suddenly it rained heavily in Lingnan, which lasted for more than ten days The torrential rain almost caused floods in Lingnan. Fortunately, Zhao Minghan dealt with it in time to avoid serious consequences.Thus, Zhao Minghan's planned one-month business trip turned into nearly two months before returning to the capital.

And when he came back, the five-star Xunhuan Hotel had become a household name in the capital. The waiter in this shop was handsome, with a sweet mouth, good-looking and delicious dishes, and fragrant and mellow wine, which drove Zuixianlou into business. Every day goes down.Not only can you eat delicious food here, but you can also drink scented tea prepared by yourself, listen to different songs and enjoy subversive traditional dances, which makes them feel very interesting. I really want to spend the whole day here. Life is happy, just As it should be.Not only that, but there are also exquisite and delicious pastries here, which are not inferior to the "Palace Pastry" shop at all, and even better than it. Tebi is the dessert "sandwich" they launched. Although the price is not cheap, it can be sold hottest.Some didn't come to eat, but came to buy sandwiches, and they bought a dozen or so, which made the chef in charge of making sandwiches very tired.

As soon as Zhao Minghan came back, he thought that Zhang Xiaoqian would greet him at the gate with the child in his arms, but there was no sign of him, but the women who had received him into the palace before he left were vying for the scene of crying with joy.Zhao Minghan was annoyed when he saw their fake faces.

Zhao Minghan went straight to the Yimei Garden, but the Yimei Garden was empty.Presumably the cold wind did not bring them back.He immediately asked Lengshuang to call back the cold wind.

The cold wind came quickly, and he knelt on one knee, reporting the details about the time between Zhang Xiaoqian and Xiao Jinzhu.At this time, Zhao Minghan was soaking his feet. After listening to his narration, Zhao Minghan kicked the footbath, and all the footwashing water was poured on the cold wind kneeling on one knee, and the footbath also fell to the ground with a clang.The cold wind can't move and dare not move.

"This king asked you to bring their father and son back, but you can't even do such a small thing, what use is this king asking you?" Zhao Minghan roared, "Come on, take the cold wind down and beat a hundred army sticks, He's got his hands and feet out of the way, and a man who can't get things done is as good as a cripple."

Leng Feng lowered his head and allowed himself to be punished, not daring to disobey.

Lengshuang on the side was in a hurry, a hundred army sticks would kill half of a person, and the cold wind couldn't survive at all if he broke his tendons and hamstrings. "My lord, I beg you to take back your life. Lengfeng definitely didn't intend not to bring back the side concubine and the young son. You also know that the side concubine is extremely smart and fearless. If Leng Feng insists on bringing the side concubine back I'm afraid that the side concubine will force her to die, if it's not done well, this..."

Zhao Minghan really knew that Zhang Xiaoqian was not a person who would give in easily.

Seeing that Zhao Minghan listened, Leng Shuang continued to intercede; "Leng Feng has served the prince for many years, and there is hard work without credit, you think so. Besides, Leng Feng has been guarding the side concubine to ensure his safety, and did not let the side concubine What happened to the concubine. The side concubine has a strong temper, how can the cold wind win over the side concubine."

"Okay, you don't need to break his tendons, but you can't avoid a hundred army sticks."

"Thank you, my lord." After Leng Feng finished speaking, he looked at Leng Shuang to express his thanks.

"Get out."

Leng Shuang went out to wait, and Leng Feng went to receive the punishment.

The maid serving in the house felt the aura of "no strangers should enter" emanating from Zhao Minghan, and even Steward Wu, who had always been calm and calm, was sweating coldly on his forehead.

"Wipe my king's feet clean." Zhao Minghan said to the two trembling maidservants who lowered their heads.

The two maidservants stammered and replied, "Yes... yes."

The two maidservants who were nervous and frightened were so awkward when they wiped Zhao Minghan's feet again, which angered Zhao Minghan. Zhao Minghan kicked each of them and said angrily, "Get out!"

If the maidservant is pardoned, she will run fast.

Zhao Minghan wiped his feet and put on his shoes by himself, and said to Butler Wu: "But you told him that the king is back, and that the king must meet him and his children in Yimeiyuan for dinner, otherwise the king will tear down the house to find pleasure." Court."

"Yes, my lord, this old slave will do it now."
