Feiyan hadn't slept for two days and one night, and she was already sleepy, yawning vigorously. Xia Fengyi asked her to sleep, but she didn't do it, saying that she would continue to wait for Meng Tianchu tonight.

Meng Tianchu was happy when he heard it: "You guard me? Haha, look at you sleepy like this, I'm afraid I'll be guarding you when the time comes... Don't keep it, the most dangerous period has passed, and tonight should be fine. ”

Xia Fengyi said: "It should be okay?" What if something happens? I'll guard you, Feiyan, you go to sleep. ”

This is true, chronic intracranial hemorrhage may not be detected until the second or even third day, and the first two days are the most dangerous, so I hope that someone will protect you, so that no one will know if you die.

Feiyan yawned, she knew that she was in her current mental state, and she couldn't complete the task of guarding at all, so she thought about it and said, "Otherwise, it's still just the second watch, the slave and maid go to sleep, and the fourth watch depends on the slave and maid to get up and change grandma, is this good?" ”

This is also a solution, the three of them nodded in agreement, and Feiyan yawned and went to sleep outside.

Xia Fengyi served Meng Tianchu and took off her clothes and lay down, Feiyan used to serve and undress, but this was the first time for Xia Fengyi, her face was flushed with shame, and she looked even more charming under the candlelight.

Xia Fengyi's coquettish and infinite demeanor made Meng Tianchu's eyes straighten, and he turned to look sideways at Xia Fengyi who was sitting on a low stool next to the bed, and asked with some regret: "Lady, when the one-year period expires, do you still want to leave me?" ”

Xia Fengyi smiled reluctantly: "Why did you suddenly think of this question?" ”

"Because we have been married for nearly half a year, this issue is getting closer and closer, I always think about it, I divorced you after a year, you have a childless divorce letter, will other people's families still want you?"

Xia Fengyi swept the hair on her forehead and smiled faintly: "If there is no one, I will accompany my father and mother for the rest of my life." ”

"Can your father and mother be happy? What if I find you someone else who doesn't know anything better than me? ”

"That's fate, too." Xia Fengyi sighed lightly and glanced at Meng Tianchu: "Actually, you are a good person, or rather, you have changed for the better." ”

"That's right." Meng Tianchu stretched out his hand and held Xia Fengyi's slender hand beside the bed, "Since you think that I have changed for the better, and we have already married in the church, it is better to live like this, to be honest, I like you very much, you are not only beautiful and beautiful, but also jealous and hateful, dare to say and do." Both filial piety and self-esteem, very appetizing for me, the two of us can really be husband and wife, that's good. ”

Xia Fengyi slowly withdrew her hand: "My opinion of you has changed a lot, but this change can't make me make up my mind to really marry you." ”

"Why?"

"It's very simple, what you're doing now isn't enough to smooth you out in my heart... Bad impression. Xia Fengyi said slowly, for fear that it would hurt Meng Tianchu if she said it too much.

"Then Feiyan's impression has changed, why can't you?"

"She is her, I am me, and besides, she only came to my house as a slave at the age of thirteen, and she has not been in contact with you for a long time, and I have been with you since I was a child..."

Meng Tianchu's expression darkened, and he wanted to use his behavior in the past few months to change the bad impression of more than ten years, which was a little shorter.

"Alas!" Meng Tianchu sighed, "Since that's the case, I won't force it, this topic is the last time I will bring it up, and I will never mention it again." Let's still follow the original agreement, at the end of the one-year period, I will write you a letter of resignation, and let's go our separate ways. ”

Xia Fengyi apologized: "Well, I'm sorry..."

"What's so sorry, if you really want to say sorry, it's because what I did before hurt your heart too much. Lady, let's not talk about this, it's good to disperse. You gave me Feiyan, which is already compensating me. ”

Xia Fengyi glanced sideways at the outside, and then turned her head to look at Meng Tianchu: "Although Feiyan is a knife mouth, she is really a tofu heart, you will know it later." ”

"I can feel it now."

"That's... I know, she's just a little girl, it's impossible to be your original partner, but she's really good, if you still look good, after I'm gone, you marry the original partner, just accept her as a concubine, she has a good home, and I'm relieved! ”

Meng Tianchu turned around, turned his back to the sky, put his hands behind his bandaged head, and said lightly: "Who I marry as the original match, who I accept as a concubine, don't bother Miss Laoxia!" I was sleepy and wanted to sleep. Then he closed his eyes and said no more.

Xia Fengyi lowered her head a little ugly, and muttered softly, "Yes... I'm sorry..."

Early the next morning, after Feiyan finished serving Meng Tianchu and had eaten breakfast, Meng Tianchu took the comments written by Jiongxue last night and came to Cai Zhixian Mansion to personally explain his verdict.

Cai Zhixian has always been obedient to Meng Tianchu, and he heard him make a lot of sense, so he nodded again and again, and immediately made a judgment according to Meng Tianchu's approval. After ordering Yuan Zhu Bo Na to redeem his sentence, Yuan Tiehe was released.

Yuan Zhubo and his wife had already been waiting outside the Yamen prison, and when they saw Yuan Tiehe out of the prison, they were so happy that they burst into tears. led his son to Meng Tianchu's residence and asked Yuan Tiehe to kowtow to Meng Tianchu to express his gratitude.

After sending off Master Yuan's family, Meng Tianchu was also in a happy mood, drinking tea in the living room to recuperate, and Steward Lin, the shopkeeper of Lin, hugged a stack of account books, which was the account book of the restaurant by the West Lake that Shopkeeper Lin sent to Meng Tianchu last night.

Meng Tianchu asked Lao He Tou to act as a housekeeper, and after completing the handover with Steward Lin, it was almost noon, and Meng Tianchu decided to go to the restaurant to have a look.

Xia Fengyi made the sedan chair of the yamen, Feiyan pushed Meng Tianchu's wheelchair, Lao He Tou waited on the side, and was led by Steward Lin to the restaurant "Xizi Restaurant" by the West Lake. "Crazyma finished

Coming to the edge of the West Lake, Steward Lin pointed to a faintly visible Feige high-rise building in the shade of the lake in the distance, and said, "Master Meng, look, that's your 'Xizi Restaurant'." ”

Meng Tianchu put his hand on the pergola and looked up, and saw that the eaves of the restaurant were hidden between the willow trees, this location was not bad, but the whole picture of the restaurant was not real, but looking at this scale, it was not quite like a five-star hotel, that is, a tavern on the side of the street.

Meng Tianchu was slightly disappointed, and the group walked along the path by the West Lake, and came to the front of this restaurant, which was even more disappointed, this is an ordinary two-story tavern, the appearance is also slightly old, the plaque that reads 'Xizi Restaurant' hanging on the door frame, has been a little mottled by years of wind and rain erosion, and I haven't seen any guests inside.

Steward Lin's face was a little unbearable, and he said to Meng Tianchu with a smile Let them wait for a while, he hurriedly ran over and kicked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper found out that it was Steward Lin, and hurriedly got up and hunched his waist, and Steward Lin pointed at him and said something.

While they were talking, Meng Tianchu took a look at the restaurant again, and his heart was cold, where is this five-star hotel, the whole dilapidated tavern! It's worse than Tong Xiangyu's "Tongfu Inn" in "Wulin Gaiden", Meng Tianchu's nose is crooked, he really overestimated the generosity of the shopkeeper Lin, it seems that the profiteers and profiteers are not traitors and businessmen, this sentence is not wrong at all, the shopkeeper Lin, the rich man on the first side, gave such a broken tavern to himself, and the restaurant was sold from head to toe, at best, two hundred taels of silver.

Meng Tianchu asked Feiyan to stop the wheelchair, called Lao He Tou over, and asked in a low voice: "Handover in the morning, does this Xizi Restaurant have foreign debts?" ”

Old He Tou said in a low voice: "There is no foreign debt. ”

This is okay, if the restaurant owes a lot of foreign debts and takes it over by himself, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Then he asked, "How profitable is this?" ”

Lao He smiled bitterly: "The old slave is preparing to report to the young master, today he has only handed over the accounts for nearly a year, from this year's point of view, he has not earned a penny, but has already posted sixty-two taels of silver!" ”

Depend on! It turned out to be a mess, no wonder Shopkeeper Lin was so kind, he was embarrassed to say that the business was okay last night, and he still posted it if he didn't make any money, so it was okay? He***. I thought he had given him a five-star restaurant, but it turned out to be a money-losing mess, which made him excited all night, and now he is like this, and he is a master for two taels of silver every month (deducting the five hundred wen for Murong Zhenxue, in fact, it is only one or two and a half yuan) It is not enough to compensate after the paste.

Feiyan also said angrily: "Such a broken restaurant, it can't be profitable, it's better to sell it now!" ”

Lao He said: "Yes, young master, why don't you sell this restaurant, if you continue to operate, let's... We don't have much to lose. ”

Sell? That's an idea. Meng Tianchu thought to himself, he didn't know how to operate a hotel, and if he didn't do it well, he would lose more, anyway, it was given by the shopkeeper Lin for nothing, and it was not bad to sell it for one or two hundred taels of silver.

Xia Fengyi listened to their conversation in the sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain to look at the situation of the restaurant, and saw that their faces were strange and ugly, knowing that he was very dissatisfied with the restaurant, he ordered to get off the sedan chair and open the sedan door to come in. looked around, walked to the side of Meng Tianchu's wheelchair, and said: "Xianggong, presumably the business of the shopkeeper Lin has become bigger, and he only has a big deal in his eyes, and he can't look down on this small hotel, and he has no intention of managing it, so he has made it like this." There are a lot of cheap concubines to see this tourist, this restaurant is located in a good location, and it is on the edge of the West Lake, if you manage it well, you should be able to make money. ”

Meng Tianchu asked with interest: "Oh, I heard from the lady, you have studied the tavern business quite a bit?" ”

"The concubine has never taken care of the business, it's just speculation, but it's not difficult to think about the restaurant."

"Do you want to run this hotel?" Meng Tianchu saw Xia Fengyi's coquettish face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't want my lady to be the proprietress in the hotel, running in and out to greet guests." ”

"Who said I was going to be a boss lady!" Xia Fengyi lowered her voice and said angrily: "Let Lao He Tou be the shopkeeper, I said that Lao He Tou will do it, isn't it okay?" ”

Xia Fengyi's words made Meng Tianchu a little moved, in fact, Meng Tianchu was not willing to sell the hotel as soon as he came up, whether he lost money or made money, and he couldn't draw an absolute judgment from other people's business conditions, and there were many cases of changes in business strategies that eventually turned losses into profits, so he said to Xia Fengyi: "Okay, the hotel will be managed by you." Speaking of this, he beckoned, making Xia Fengyi lean over and whisper in her ear; If we really want to make money in the future, how about the two of us add two to five? ”

Xia Fengyi grinned, and also leaned into his ear and said: "I'm not short of money, I'll help you run it, if you lose it, it's mine, and if you make it, it's yours, so it's my compensation for you." ”

"That's not good, that's it, half a year is the limit, half a year of operation, when the two of us agree to break up, you let go of the business, if you lose money, I will sell the restaurant, and the money from the sale will come to make up for the loss." If we make money, we'll be in half. ”

"No, I don't lack this money, the money I earn will be yours, if you really want to lose, just sell the hotel to make up for the loss as you said."

Meng Tianchu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Xia Fengyi stood up with a smile, looked around again, and said, "Xianggong, our restaurant will definitely be able to make money, and the concubine is confident." ”

At this time, Steward Lin hurriedly ran back and said with a little face: "Master, please, I have already smashed all the guys of the hotel shopkeeper in the lobby and waited." ”

Meng Tianchu and the others came to the restaurant, and there was no way to use a wheelchair inside, but fortunately, Meng Tianchu was able to walk slowly under the support of Feiyan at this time, and stepped into the hall of the restaurant.

There were no guests in the hall, and there were a dozen or so people standing among them, all of whom looked lazy, the chefs of the hotel, the running boys, and the bookkeepers.

Meng Tianchu asked Feiyan to support him, took Xia Fengyi, first looked up and down the front and back of the hotel, and returned to the row of shop guys in the hall, Meng Tianchu whispered to Xia Fengyi: "Lady, now the hotel is officially handed over to you." ”

Xia Fengyi took a step forward, glanced at the lazy shop guys, and said coldly: "If you don't want to do it here, you can leave now!" ”
