Chapter 207: Nightmare
It was night, the moon was white and the wind was clear.
The eunuch who was waiting beside the emperor hurriedly entered the Qiankun Palace.
The emperor didn't rest, he was holding the little prince's hand and writing, when the old eunuch came in and knelt in front of the emperor with a plop.
Seeing the old eunuch kneeling here, he looked back at it today, "What are you doing?" This big gift in the middle of the night? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Auspicious from the sky, auspicious. ”
The old eunuch described a scene incoherently, and came to the emperor in a hurry, the emperor was suspicious, and followed the eunuch out, and the two of them wore flowers and willows and finally passed the imperial garden, and they saw a group of fairies in white clothes on the bright moon platform from afar.
"Your Majesty, this is not a mirage! This is a good omen, a great omen. ”
The eunuch pointed to the distance, on the bright moon platform, it seemed that he could vaguely see a few men in white clothes, those men were tasting bamboo and adjusting silk, and there was a beautiful sound falling from the sky, which sounded ethereal in a flash.
"Is that a man of God? I thought someone was pretending to be a ghost! ”
The emperor didn't believe that the gods would come, so he asked a few Ouchi guards to see, and he followed behind, but when they went up to the bright moon platform, the group of people had already disappeared.
Only an ethereal fragrance.
Since then, the emperor has paid special attention to this bright moon platform.
Tonight, some people are destined to be happy and some are sad.
He who rejoices cannot sleep, and he who is troubled cannot sleep. Qiao An's head was full of sorrow, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
In a daze, she finally fell asleep, and it seemed to be a place where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and Joan was happy to have the opportunity, and walked along the path, and saw a person standing in front of her from afar.
"Brother Zhongxuan! Brother Zhongxuan! Shen Qiao'an happily chased after him, the man gradually looked back, but his face became Qiao Sanye's, the person's throat was pierced with a snow-white porcelain piece, and the man smiled at Qiao An in the cold moonlight.
"Nope! No! No! Shen Qiaoan screamed.
Then, Shen Qiaoan dreamed of the scene of Li Zhongxuan's murder at dusk today, of course, Qiao An had also seen murder before, but it was the first time that it was as cruel as today, and the executioner was a person he had loved like that.
"Brother Zhongxuan, Brother Zhongxuan!" Shen Qiaoan cried bitterly, and in the dream, she roared helplessly.
Chen Huaiyi next door was alarmed, and hurriedly came to Shen Qiao'an's house, he thought that Qiao An was in danger, and kicked the door open, Shen Qiaoan couldn't wake up in the nightmare, it seemed that he was in great pain.
He hurriedly shook Joan awake.
"No, no!"
"It's me, it's me, Joan." Chen Huaiyi hugged Shen Qiaoan, Shen Qiaoan was trembling, the tears on her face were mottled, and the tears were hazy in her sight, she seemed to need warmth Chen Huaiyi.
On the other side, Luo Zhiyuan, who realized it later, got up in his clothes, and didn't care much, and rushed into Qiao An's boudoir, and several of them had agreed that as long as anyone warned them, the rest of them could directly enter that person's house.
Luo Zhiyuan was holding a flat pole in his hand, thinking that the assassin was coming, so he rushed over to see what the assassin was, but it was just a nightmare, and the flat pole in his hand fell to the ground.
"Brother Luo, Nightmare, I'm worried about you."
Chen Huaiyi approached Luo Zhiyuan, and Luo Zhiyuan smiled.
Shen Qiao'an couldn't sleep well all night, although Chen Huaiyi and Qiao An had been together for a long time, they had never been together so closely, Qiao An's fear made her look at Han and Chu Chu pitiful.
As for him, he was cranky, but he was willing to hold Shen Qiaoan like this for the rest of his life.
Shen Qiaoan gradually fell asleep.
But in just a quarter of an hour, Chen Huaiyi was still in a daze, and Shen Qiaoan fell into a nightmare again.
Joan yelled again.
Chen Huaiyi hurriedly hugged her.
Joan was shivering, sweat wet his clothes, and he stared at Joan for a long time, unconsciously distracted.
He stretched out his hand and unbuttoned Shen Qiaoan's first button, but Shen Qiao'an had more tears than just now, "No, Chen Huaiyi...... Not ......"
Chen Huaiyi was helpless, and his heart was itching.
"Well, I'...... I went to the door. Nephrite is warm and fragrant in his arms, even if Chen Huaiyi is Liu Xia Hui, who is not in a mess, he can't hold it at the moment, he leans against the door, and looks pitiful.
Qiao An came out of the house and gave a quilt to Chen Huaiyi, fortunately it was a day in May, if it was March or April, I was afraid that it would freeze.
JoAnn couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night.
Tossing and turning, it was hard to get to the next day.
The rooster sings that the world is white.
The next day, the sky was not bright, and Luo Zhiyuan, who had worked hard and became rich, got up.
Although Shen Qiaoan didn't have much rest all night, he didn't dare to slack off, and he was busy after getting up.
As for Luo Zhiyuan, while carrying water, he teased Chen Huaiyi, and said to Nunu at the door of Qiao An - "At the door all night?" Cold or not? ”
"You don't want any pot to open and which pot to mention." Chen Huaiyi took out the abacus and account books.
"Don't forget it, there is enough silver, you also talked to Shen Qiaoan about the matter I discussed with you the day before yesterday?" Luo Zhiyuan put the flat pole on the ground and leaned over to look at the account book.
They have made money day by day, but they only want to do a good job, but they don't have the heart to grow bigger. The three of them are walking on thin ice, in fact, the common desire of the three of them is simple, this hotel can make money, can maintain daily expenses.
But unexpectedly, this hotel is famous for its wine, and there are very few people who come here to eat food every day, and the people who buy wine have been queuing up since the third watch, and the three people are all lacking skills.
According to Chen Huaiyi's previous thoughts, it is best to expand the store.
Or open a branch, or buy the one next door.
But Shen Qiaoan and Luo Zhiyuan vetoed it.
They are now too famous, the so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and soon someone will find out that the names they used to register are all fake, once they are known to Ling Yuange or the imperial court, this will be a big disaster.
Therefore, Joan still means to keep improving.
However, Luo Zhiyuan has the rest of his thoughts, they have come over in the past few months, and there are thousands of silver taels after paying salaries to employees, according to Luo Zhiyuan's meaning, they can't sit still, they need to use these silver to weave some people in the rivers and lakes.
Use this as a point for intelligence collection, and it will be beneficial for them to investigate things. Chen Huaiyi is indispensable, although he loves money more, but after experiencing many major changes, Chen Huaiyi found that silver still serves people, once people are gone, no matter how much silver is useless.
As for Qiao An, after Chen Huaiyi told him about this, Qiao An greatly praised Luo Zhiyuan for his wisdom and foresight.
Things hit it off.
Today, Luo Zhiyuan took out nine hundred taels to find someone, he is from the rivers and lakes, in fact, the words "Luo Zhiyuan" are also well-known in the rivers and lakes, and he is willing to spend money, so this thing can be done overnight.
Shen Qiaoan agrees with this.
They are alone, and their business is becoming more and more prosperous, and one day in the future, if they are exposed, they will have a way out.
For example, when he was in Yunnan, he was looking for a good way to the future, and he would not fall apart so much, Qiao An had gradually experienced more things, and his vision and pattern were also magnificent.
Today is still as usual, the market is full of people, and the two barrels of wine are soon empty.
Shen Qiaoan could only apologize again and again, those people had reservations, and threw the silver on the counter angrily, and some scolded their mothers, Qiao An could only comfort them softly.
But most of them come home with a full load.
Shen Qiao'an made the predetermined list, and just about to turn around, he saw General Cheng, General Cheng patrolled the city to the area of Qiao'an's hotel today, under normal circumstances, his footprints are not here, first, he found the man in black here last night, and secondly, it was noisy here in broad daylight, he thought that there were people fighting here, and hurriedly came to check.
Unexpectedly, I saw Shen Qiaoan!
The dog skin plaster on Qiao An's face had just been wet with sweat, and it was blown down by the wind, and at this moment, General Cheng's big eyes were staring at Qiao An suspiciously.
Joan obviously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to touch it.
Worst!
Qiao An and General Cheng have been dealing with each other for too long, so that her smile and every move have formed a stereotype, that General Cheng walked here only to know that the famous "Donghu Spring" was sold by this hotel, at this moment, seeing that it was just like Qiao An's little second brother hiding from himself, he knew that it was wrong, and a swallow flew into the hotel three times.
Oh, my God!
Shen Qiaoan was afraid that General Cheng would come in, but he was afraid of something, and General Cheng came like a storm, Qiao An was fortunate to be close to the back kitchen, and hurriedly dodged to the back kitchen.
"Hey, Shen Qiao'an, don't you want to hide from me!"
General Cheng didn't give up, the big horn was about to go inside, a little second brother held a tray in his hand and roared out, the two collided together, a plate of fried kidney flowers and a plate of braised fat sausages sprinkled the clothes of the little second brother. The little second brother was immediately dissatisfied, and he had to be held responsible.
The two of them had a quarrel here, and the guests also went over to dissuade them.
Fortunately, Luo Zhiyuan came in time, and seeing the inextricable appearance of the two, Luo Zhiyuan hurriedly apologized.
"Ke Mo has to be like him, he has always been a water monkey with gloves and hairy hands and feet, you sit here, you are angry, you are angry."
After all, Luo Zhiyuan is now a businessman, and he has learned to greet people with a smile.
After all, more things are better than less things, and the person in front of him is a thousand-commander patrolling the city, which is the most unoffended.
The little second brother didn't give up, "Our back kitchen is also the uncle, you can come in, this is good, you have to pay for this two pieces of silver!" ”
"Don't get out of here!" Luo Zhiyuan admonished, "There are more and more rules." ”
The little second brother went aggrieved.
Luo Zhiyuan was very strange at the moment, Chen Huaiyi and Shen Qiaoan were missing in the front hall, it was obvious that these two people had hidden, and he stared at the general with a straight nose again, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Although he had never been in contact with General Cheng, from some of Shen Qiaoan's descriptions, he had already guessed that the person in front of him was General Cheng nine times out of ten.
"The guest is dissipated, I am the shopkeeper of the shop, and the little second brother is not, you don't want to get along with him in my face, children in the countryside, I don't know if my eyebrows are high and my eyes are low, you don't remember the villain."
"You're the shopkeeper?" General Cheng's eyes widened and looked at Luo Zhiyuan opposite, who nodded with a smile.
"Let Shen Qiaoan come out, I want to see her! Fast! He was very sure that Shen Qiao'an was in the back hall, and with that hurried glance just now, Qiao An had not yet been flawed if he hadn't hidden, and this evasion immediately made him see the clue.
"What Joan, you still have a treat to explain it." Luo Zhiyuan's heart was beating faster, but he pretended to be calm and asked seriously. In fact, they have already changed their names, and if he wants to come to find someone according to his name, it will not lead to anything.
Qiao An watched Luo Zhiyuan and General Cheng talk in the back hall, she was very afraid, Luo Zhiyuan was different from Chen Huaiyi, his temper has never been very good, he was afraid that the two would suddenly fight, and everything that had been painstakingly managed in the past few months would be in vain.
General Cheng is also notoriously short-tempered, in addition to obeying the emperor's words, General Cheng doesn't even pay attention to the ministers of the first grade.
