Huai'an demonstrated the use of an eye chart and gave him a drawing, which was specially asked by Chen Yong's cousin to draw a pair of audition frames, which were used in the form of inserts to achieve optometry.

Boss Meng was grateful and immediately asked the opticians to make frames and inserts according to the drawings.

"No thanks, no thanks." Huai'an said: "Your sour plum soup is really a must, and my family loves to drink it." ”

"That's a blessing for the villain!" Boss Meng rubbed his hands and smiled: "My ancestors carried the burden to sell sour plum drinks, supported a family, and bought land and real estate in the capital, so we have today's situation!" It's a pity that now I can only keep it for my own enjoyment. ”

Huai'an thought for a moment and asked, "Does Boss Meng intend to open a drink shop?" ”

"Drink shop?" Boss Meng asked, "Teahouse?" ”

Huai'an said: "It's about the same, it's smaller than the teahouse, you can dine-in, you can take out, and you can even deliver takeaway." ”

Boss Meng instantly understood: "Selling sour plum soup? ”

"That's right! In addition to sour plum soup, you can also sell milk tea, fruit tea, all kinds of soups, and you can also sell cold drinks and mung bean drinks in summer. Huai'an said.

"It's a great idea!" Boss Meng said: "Let's split the account fifty-fifty." ”

"It's still four six," Huai An said, "I'm four and you're six, you are in charge of the operation, and I'm ...... Not available. ”

"Understand, the little nobleman is busy in the palace." Boss Meng said.

"Not really." Huai'an smiled embarrassedly: "I am indeed the companion of the eldest son of the emperor, you had to arrest me as a son-in-law that day, and in order to get out, you had to say that you were a eunuch." ”

"Oops!" Boss Meng said: "It's all villains who are confused for a while, and the little boy is really a lot of adults, regardless of previous suspicions." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Huai'an said: "Then it's decided, go back and finalize the details, you send a shopkeeper, I will find a middle-aged person, and we will make a contract." ”

Boss Meng agreed, but still insisted on splitting the account five or five, the Meng family is a businessman, and his connections in the capital are thin, so he can hold the big tree of the official son, let alone five or five points, he will gladly accept three or seven points.

The next day, Emperor Huai'an summoned him and asked him about the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Qi'er Mountain.

Now the emperor's father and son are trapped in the deep palace together, and due to the extravagance of the honor guard and various etiquette restrictions, they cannot travel at will without special reasons.

Huai'an said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the sweet potatoes are growing very well, and there will be a bumper harvest at the end of the month." ”

The emperor nodded, he had recently been upset by Yan Guan, Huai'an served a sweet and sour plum soup, after the emperor tasted it, it was sour but not astringent, full of relish, and half of his depressed mood was gone.

Huai'an saw the opportunity and begged the emperor to bring a plaque for him, and he wanted to open a store.

"Going to open a store again?" The emperor asked.

Huai'an blinked: "I left you a dry share." ”

"Really?" The Emperor asked rhetorically.

The first emperor spent a lot of money on cultivation, and burned the silver of Ouchi's treasury cleanly.

So some emperors look glamorous, but in fact, their pockets are cleaner than their faces. In the palace, whenever there is a large amount of expenses, you have to reach out to the household department, but the money in the treasury is also useful, and most of the time not only can you not get the money, but you are advised by the household branch official to be a frugal and simple emperor.

It's not easy to have a palm-up life.

Fortunately, the queen and the eldest princess of Wenyang have gradually taken over the Huangzhuang Huangpu, as long as they operate diligently for a period of time, this embarrassment will be slowly alleviated.

Huai'an painted a flatbread and said: "If you open a branch in the future, as long as you use the plaque you mentioned, your majesty will have a dry share." ”

When the emperor heard that this money was not made in vain, he immediately ordered someone to lay paper and ink: "What is the name of the store?" ”

Huai'an said: "Let's have a product." ”

Chapter 132

"Let's Yipin" invested nearly thirty percent of Huai'an's savings, He secretly wondered, with so much money, three milk tea shops have also opened, but because of his father's strict care, coupled with his busy schoolwork, from site selection to decoration to opening, after half a year, He only went to see it.

This glance made his jaw almost drop, his mind was full of "Honey Snow Ice City", and he even thought about the marketing words of "the first cup of milk tea in autumn", As a result, Boss Meng opened a magnificent Chinese-style teahouse!

In order to cheer for his good brothers, Rong He, with the acquiescence of the emperor, disguised himself as a eunuch and went out of the palace to participate in the opening ceremony of "Come to Yipin".

The box on the second floor of the lobby on the first floor sells exquisite drinks and refreshments, and there are several shed tables outside the door, to rest the pawns of the peddlers, and the two copper plates of the big bowl of tea are drunk casually, focusing on a rich and thrifty person, and a small window is opened next to the door on the first floor, where you can order food and take out directly.

A wooden platform is erected in the lobby, or the luthier is invited to play, or the female gentleman is invited to sing, or the gentleman is invited to tell the story.

What's this weird match? Huai An was speechless angrily.

Today's opening is a guest invited to Lan Xinyue, a well-known person in the north of the city, that is, the female gentleman who went to Shen's house to sing to the old lady before, she is now older, her figure is more slender, and her voice has faded from immaturity, like melodious.

Thirty percent of the people who came to the store to cheer were for the plaque mentioned by the emperor himself, thirty percent were for the face of Boss Meng or Huai'an, and forty percent were for Lan Xinyue's song.

The guests welcomed the door, and Boss Meng stood by the railing on the second floor, shaking his head and admiring the new words played and sung by Lan Xinyue, and Huai'an pulled him to a corner where no one was.

"Lao Meng! I said the city gate building, you said the hip shaft, I said the drink shop, you open a big teahouse, you ......"

Boss Meng rubbed his hands, and the whole person looked enthusiastic and swollen: "Little boy, the saint personally raised the plaque, what kind of honor is this!" Look at this calligraphy...... One stroke at a time, right, what a row! The façade is too small to deserve this plaque! ”

Huai'an was about to collapse: "Take the façade to match the plaque? Lao Meng, are you really in business? ”

"Little boy, don't be impatient." Boss Meng pulled him to sit down and patiently explained: "I have also considered the drink shop you mentioned, but if you think about it carefully, how many people will drink while walking with a drink?" The poor don't have that leisure, the rich have a good face and talk about etiquette, it is better to open a teahouse, the lobby can hold a literary meeting, the ladies and ladies go to the box on the second floor to drink tea and listen to music, and those who work hard have a place to rest in the shade. The take-out you are talking about can be realized through the window downstairs, and the cars and horses pass by, the rich women travel, and the officials go up and down, and buy and drink in the carriage. ”

"Huai'an, I think what he said is reasonable." Rong He said.

Huai'an was bleeding in his heart and tears in his eyes, is opening a bubble tea shop just to make money? That's his feelings......

Looking at the lively scene full of guests, forget it, it's okay to make money.

After Boss Meng invited the two to the box, he turned to entertain the guests.

Rong He lowered his voice and asked, "When will I bring my father and queen mother out, and also bring them to drink tea and listen to music." ”

"Then come," Huai'an said, "Weifu made a private visit, observed the people's feelings, and said what the officials liked to say, and they couldn't drop a piece of meat." ”

Rong He shook his head: "It's not a matter of the official, the father and the queen mother seem to have quarreled recently." ”

Huai'an was stunned, it was not a good phenomenon that the emperor and queen were not harmonious.

"Do you know what the reason is?" Huai'an asked.

Rong He shook his head: "I went to Kunning Palace to ask for peace that day, and I heard my father losing his temper and saying, 'You dare to give me such medicine of unknown origin, what are you supposed to be?' He also said that if he was investigated, it would be a great crime to punish the nine clans.

Huai'an looked at the sky with both eyes, and there was only one voice in his head: "Da Lang, I've taken medicine~~~"

He shuddered, impossible, impossible, give the emperor medicine, what does the queen want?

Unless...... Figure children. Is that kind of medicine?

Rong He has not yet canonized the crown prince, one is because he is still young, and the other is because the imperial court is financially tight...... There is no extra budget left for the canonization ceremony. Therefore, one thing that is rare for the emperor and the hundred officials to have a tacit understanding is that no one has mentioned the canonization of the crown prince.

The emperor and the empress will always be a community of interests, except for the matter of children, although Ronghe will always serve the queen as his mother-in-law, but in this era, which woman does not want to have her own children?

Huai'an looked at Rong He and suddenly realized a question, if the emperor and empress had another child, could Rong He still be the crown prince? The answer is not necessarily, unless the emperor's life is too short, and having a successor is the general order of succession.

But then again, is it really that good to be an emperor? In the past, when the emperor was King Qi, Huai'an always felt that he was very depressed, but now that he has ascended the throne, he is even more depressed.

"Good !!"

When Huai'an's inner drama was rich, Rong He had completely shifted his attention to eating, drinking, and having fun, and was engrossed in applauding the female gentleman singing downstairs.

"Huai'an, this Sushan is so delicious, why don't you eat it?" Rong He said.

Huai'an looked at him with a sullen face, shook his head and said, "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." ”

Phew, he's not a eunuch!

He deeply suspected that this heartless guy, if he didn't become a prince, he would be glad that he didn't have to work......

"What's the hurry?" Rong He asked.

"I haven't served the refreshments I urgently wanted." Huai'an rolled his eyes.

"There are too many people today, and the food is slow, so understand." Rong He said.

"It looks like it's your shop."

"I have my father's shares." Rong He said: "I look forward to its abundant wealth, so that my father and emperor don't always worry about the 50,000 taels of silver I owe him." ”

Huai'an couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't have any other brothers and sisters, Your Majesty's will be yours sooner or later." ”

"It doesn't matter," Rong He waved his hand, "If he makes me the prince, I will try to be a good prince, and if he makes me the king of the domain, I will go to the domain in peace, and there will be no food to eat." ”

Huai'an was stunned, it turned out that this guy understood everything.

"Don't look at me like that. In the past, when I was in the palace, although I was not treated by the emperor's grandfather, and my life was very poor, my father, queen mother and queen mother have always been very harmonious, and the queen mother was in charge of the entire palace. Rong He said: "Actually, I can't treat her like my mother, so we are all very comfortable." ”

Huai'an nodded: "I understand." ”

"I know that the queen mother wants to have a child of her own, and if she really gives birth, she will be a righteous son-in-law. But it doesn't matter, I just hope that the family will be harmonious, and not become like my grandfather just because he entered the palace. ”

Huai'an didn't dare to take this, but coincidentally, he also had a very unpopular grandfather.

Rong He also seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate to speak ill of the former emperor, but he still couldn't help but tell the truth: "Actually, my grandfather is quite terrible, I want to tremble every time I see him, but I am afraid of causing trouble for my father, so I don't even dare to tremble." I thought, what does it mean to be an emperor? is alone, the queen is gone early, and his sons and grandsons dare not approach him. ”

Huai'an persuaded: "Your Majesty will not be like the first emperor. ”

Rong He said: "But my father hasn't been to Kunning Palace for a month. ”

Huai'an pondered for a moment, and let him come up with his ear: "We ...... like this"

……

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

People gradually shed their warm clothes and shed themselves from the fatigue of winter.

Huai'an kept chanting on the emperor's desk: "Yang Qi is hidden in winter, and it starts to rise from spring, which is a good time to raise Yang. ”

The emperor could not do anything about him, so he said to him, "Present it." ”

"I can't bring it up." Huai An said: "You have to take the time to 'come to taste' and taste it yourself." ”

The emperor laughed and scolded: "It's nonsense again." ”

"What nonsense?" Huai'an asked rhetorically: "Don't you want to see the shop where you personally carried the plaque?" ”

The emperor raised his head, and Huai'an raised his eyebrows at him: "The new shop is magnificent, and on the second floor, you can overlook the streets of the capital, doesn't Your Majesty want to see if the people under your rule are stable and prosperous, and whether they are living a good life?" ”

The emperor has been on the throne for a year and a half, except for the mausoleum, he has not been out of the palace gate for half a step, in fact, he has long wanted to go out of the palace and relax. Although it is conceivable that he will be impeached by the speech officer, if he obeys the speech officer in everything, what is the difference between it and a pig in a fence.

So he instructed the eunuch on duty next to him: "Tell me to go down, I will leave the palace." ”
