We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Xi Yu sat up slightly, his expression became serious, and he looked at the two of them and said, "Now let's get down to business. What happened to that letter? Who gave it to you and asked you to send it to the border crossing? Yeah? And what about the robbers you met on the road? "

Zhao Qiang took a deep breath, calmed down, and then told the detailed story.

From how he got the letter by chance in the first place, who was coerced and coerced into delivering the letter, to the thrilling encounter when he encountered robbers on the road, everything was explained clearly.

After saying this, Zhao Qiang looked ashamed, lowered his head, and said with a trembling voice: "Master Prime Minister, I... I am actually a thief. I have done many wrong things in the past. Today, I will tell the truth. Tell you, I just hope that the Prime Minister will not punish me, and I will definitely change my ways in the future and never do those stupid things again."

After hearing this, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You are quite honest. It's rare that you dare to tell all the things in your past. But this is a reformation. It’s not just words, you have to take practical actions.”

After Zhao Qiang heard this, he nodded vigorously and said with sincerity: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will definitely use practical actions to prove my determination. In the future, I will definitely make money legitimately with my own hands. Don’t take that crooked path anymore.”

The carriage driver also echoed from the side: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what Brother Zhao Qiang said is sincere. Along the way, I can see that he sincerely wants to change his ways. I hope that Your Majesty the Prime Minister can give him a chance."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, looked at the two of them, and then said slowly: "Well, since you have this determination, that's fine."

Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart, thinking to himself: "Chen Shou is really quite smart. Fortunately, he met such a thief on the road. Otherwise, this letter would not have been delivered smoothly. This thief can be considered Made a contribution.”

Thinking of this, Xi Yu looked at Zhao Qiang and the coachman and said with a serious face: "You two have indeed made merit this time. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. I will definitely reward you, but I can't give it to you right now." You give me a reward. After all, this matter involves a lot. I can only reward you based on your merits after Chen Shou is here."

When they heard about the reward, Zhao Qiang and the coachman were immediately elated.

Zhao Qiang hurriedly said: "It is absolutely necessary for the Prime Minister to do this. It is natural to be more cautious about such a big matter. Everything is naturally at the discretion of the Prime Minister. We can do our best for you, and that is What an honor.”

The carriage driver also nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yes, the Prime Minister has thought everything through. We will just wait for your follow-up instructions. No matter what, if you can get a compliment from the Prime Minister, that is better than anything else."

Xi Yu continued: "In the next period of time, I will take care of your livelihood. I will choose a designated inn and arrange for you to stay. I will pay for all the accommodation expenses. Of course, You don’t need to worry about the cost of eating, it’s all covered by me.”

When the two heard this, they were even more overjoyed. They were originally worried about how they would live in the future, but now they have everything they need.

Just as the carriage driver was about to say thank you, Xi Yu seemed to have read through his mind and said with a smile: "I know that you make money by driving carriages on weekdays, and I'm afraid that it will delay your livelihood. So, let's do this. I will give you some compensation so that even if you don’t go out to get work during this period, you won’t suffer any loss.”

The coachman was completely stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses. His face was full of surprise and emotion. He knelt down with a "pop" and his eyes were a little moist. His voice was choked and he said: "Prime Minister Sir, there is no one better than you in this world! We really can't repay you for thinking about us like this. I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on and never dare to slack off."

Zhao Qiang's heart moved and he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xi Yu sincerely: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I sincerely want to repent. Do you think you can arrange an errand for me? I hope from the bottom of my heart that I can be here." Please serve me so that I can have something serious to do and bid farewell to my former self."

After hearing this, Xi Yu shook his head slightly and said sincerely: "I understand your desire to change your ways. I can pity you and pity you, but if everyone in this world has a similar situation, they need me." Arrange work, then how can I have so much? You still have to find and explore your own path, but don’t worry, I will give you some living allowance during this period so that you can live a stable life. , to slowly find a suitable livelihood.”

When Zhao Qiang heard this, although he felt a little disappointed in his heart, he also understood that what the Prime Minister said was true. He immediately knelt down with a bang and said with tears in his eyes: "The Prime Minister is so considerate of me. I can't thank you enough. How dare you ask for too much? Thank you, Prime Minister, for your gift. I will definitely live up to your kindness and live a good life. "

The coachman watched from the side and also bowed and thanked him again. Both of them were extremely grateful for Xi Yu's generosity and care, and secretly planned to live a different life in the future.

Then, Xi Yu waved his hands towards the two of them and said, "You can go directly outside to find the soldiers. Explain to them that it is my order and let them make arrangements for you. Then you can retreat."

The two people quickly bowed respectfully, thanked each other, and then slowly retreated.

Walking in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, both of their faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

As the coachman walked, he thought happily in his heart: "This is really great. Not only can you get subsidies in the next few days, but you don't have to go out to work hard to earn money. Such a good thing has never been thought of before. I dare not think about it.”

After thinking about it, the coachman turned to look at Zhao Qiang and said with gratitude: "Brother Zhao Qiang, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I have the chance to meet the Prime Minister, let alone such a good thing? ”

After hearing this, Zhao Qiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, this is why we are destined. We met on the road and experienced these things together. Isn't this good luck? In the future, we can You have to cherish this opportunity and live a good life.”

The two chatted and laughed, walking briskly towards the outside of the mansion, happily looking forward to the next pleasant days under the care of the Prime Minister.

In Youzhou College, Wenxuan found Lu Su.

With a mysterious and somewhat expectant look on her face, she lowered her voice and spoke out all about her desire to open an hourly room, and quickly added: "Don't worry, I know it, and I will never do it." Because this matter has delayed the teaching and other things in the college, I have already planned it. "

When Lu Su heard this, his face was full of confusion. He scratched his head and asked, "Teacher Wenxuan, what is this hourly room? I have never heard of it."

Seeing this, Wenxuan patiently explained everything from the rules for using the hourly room to the convenience it can provide.

As Lu Su listened, he couldn't help but laugh. While laughing, he joked: "Teacher Wenxuan, your idea is so strange. This is the first time I've heard of it. But, as long as you can guarantee If you don’t want to delay teaching, then just go ahead and do it yourself, and I don’t have any objections.”

When Wenxuan heard what Lu Su said, he immediately beamed with joy, nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the teaching go wrong. Thank you for your understanding and support. I will start making preparations now." After that, he turned around and left happily, ready to implement the matter of opening an hourly room.

Lu Su stood there, looking at Wenxuan's back, but still with a smile on his face, and he was also curious about what the hourly room could do.

Wenxuan planned to implement the opening of hourly rooms the next day.

On the next day, he found Xiao Cui early, and the two of them walked toward the border crossing, preparing to rent a suitable house there.

At first, Wenxuan thought that after she rented the house, she could ask Xiaocui to help her take care of it. But as she walked, she changed her mind and thought that this would be a good exercise for Xiaocui. Chance.

It would be better to take her along directly so that she can gain more experience.

The two of them walked forward, but as they walked, Xiaocui suddenly became nervous and her steps were a little slow.

She frowned and whispered to Wenxuan: "Miss, I... I used to be a servant. I always did things according to other people's orders. I have never done anything like this. I really don't know what I can do." If you’re not up to the task, what should you do if you mess up?”

Wenxuan stopped in a hurry, turned to look at Xiao Cui, smiled and said comfortingly: "Xiao Cui, don't worry, everyone has a first time, once it happens, it will be familiar again, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me, Just do it boldly, I believe you can do it.”

After hearing Wenxuan's words, Xiaocui was still a little uneasy, but looking at Wenxuan's encouraging eyes, she secretly encouraged herself, nodded, and continued walking to her destination with Wenxuan.

It's just that the nervous look still couldn't completely fade away for a while.

Wenxuan said earnestly: "Xiao Cui, you must not feel inferior because you are a servant, and then feel inferior. When doing things, you have to be open-minded. Only in this way can you get things done. Okay. When we rent the house, I can give you more training on specific matters. You will learn step by step, and you will be fine. "

Xiaocui's face, which was originally full of worry, finally felt a little more at ease, and she hurriedly responded: "That's okay, miss, I listen to you, and I will do my best to try not to embarrass you and get this thing done. "As he said that, Xiao Cui straightened his back a little, and his nervousness eased a lot, and he became more determined to follow Wen Xuan.

The two of them continued walking towards the border crossing, both filled with anticipation and enthusiasm for what they were going to do next.

Soon, the two arrived near the border crossing and began looking around for suitable housing.

They looked at each house along the street and asked about the situation.

At this moment, Wenxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. She found that there was a house with a rental sign. The location and layout of the house looked very suitable, and it was perfect for opening an inn. Wenxuan was overjoyed, and immediately took Xiao Cui forward, knocked on the door gently, and after waiting for a response from the room, he politely asked: "Hello, is anyone here? We saw your home The house is for rent and I would like to know the details. ”

The door opened with a creak, and a middle-aged man came out. He was wearing an elegant robe, and his gestures exuded a certain elegance.

The middle-aged man looked at Wenxuan and Xiaocui, smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "You two, it's cold outside, please come first and talk."

Wenxuan and Xiaocui quickly thanked them and walked into the house.

Wenxuan didn't beat around the bush and explained his intention directly, stating that he wanted to rent this house to open an inn.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and said slowly: "The rent is not cheap. After all, the location of our place is very good. There are many people coming and going, and we have no worries about the source of customers, so the rent is naturally high. some."

Wenxuan was very calm in his heart. In fact, he had expected this a long time ago. After all, the location was advantageous near the border crossing.

So, she and the middle-aged man discussed in detail the rent, lease length, house repairs and many other aspects.

After some exchanges between you and me, Wenxuan felt that the conditions were quite suitable in all aspects, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's do what we agreed on. I have rented this house and hope that it will be followed in the future." A pleasure to work with.”

Seeing that Wenxuan was so happy, the middle-aged man also had a satisfied smile on his face, and the two of them immediately started to prepare to sign the lease contract.

Xiao Cui looked on, feeling happy that she had rented a suitable house, but also full of nervousness and anticipation for what she was going to do next.

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, this house belongs to you now. It's time for me to quit. From now on, all matters related to this house will be left to you two."

After Wenxuan responded politely, he turned to Xiao Cui and said: "Xiao Cui, now we have to find some people outside to clean the house. Moreover, the store needs to be renovated. I have already thought about it before. These are all designed, just follow them.”

Xiao Cui nodded seriously and responded: "Don't worry, Miss, I will follow you to arrange these things."

Just do what they said, and the two of them immediately went out and got busy. They were looking for someone to clean, and contacting craftsmen to design and decorate according to the design. They were extremely busy but very motivated.

In this way, after three days of work, the entire store had a brand new look, and a signboard was hung high, with the four characters "Wenjia Inn" written on it.

Xiaocui stood at the door of the inn, looking at the brand-new and impressive signboard, she couldn't help but sigh, and said to Wenxuan with admiration: "I can't believe that, miss, you actually have a business mind. It's only been a few days." You have made this inn look great over time. I really admire you from the bottom of my heart.”

Wenxuan smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. There are still a lot of things to do later. We have to continue to work harder." After that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked into the inn, ready to continue. Take care of many follow-up matters.

After a while, Wenxuan said with a serious face: "Xiaocui, starting from tomorrow, our Wenjia Inn will be open for normal business, and you have to take good care of it here."

"Miss, I will try my best, but...will there really be customers coming to your door?"

As he said this, Xiao Cui showed a worried look on his face. After all, it had just opened, and he felt really unsure.

Seeing this, Wenxuan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "If there are really no customers coming to the door, there is really nothing we can do, but we can't just wait, we still have to try our best to find some ways to attract some business. Yes. For example, if you go out on the street and introduce the features of our inn, or hand out flyers to passers-by, you can always attract some customers. "

Xiaocui's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she felt that what Wenxuan said made sense.

The two of them checked around the inn again to make sure that all the preparations were in place, and then they calmly waited for the official opening the next day.

After Wenxuan made some preparations, he quickly arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, went straight to Xi Yu, and told him everything about opening an inn and setting up an hourly room.

Wenxuan said enthusiastically: "The hourly rooms in my inn are often set up according to the style of the previous life. It has the meaning of a homestay. It is very different from the common accommodations we have now. It is unique. I really hope you can experience it. Moreover, in this era, this kind of hourly room is definitely the only one. There is no other one.”

Xi Yu nodded slightly and smiled: "Okay, when I have time in the future, I will definitely experience it and see what is unique about your unique hourly room."

Then, Xi Yu put his hand on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Wenxuan and said, "Wenxuan, your inn is newly opened. According to custom, you should take care of the hot pot. I'll call Dongfang Hong. How can we do this?" Let’s get together to add joy to your new business, what do you think?”

Wenxuan immediately waved his hand, with a calm and indifferent expression, and said bluntly: "It's really unnecessary. I've always been tired of this kind of formalism. In order to stand up, an inn must rely on real operations, not on fancy things like warming pots. Dongfanghong's place, Don’t worry about it, it won’t waste everyone’s energy.”

Xi Yu felt something was inappropriate.

"I'm telling you the truth, you must not!" (End of Chapter)
