144. The Fifth Retirement World [16]

Everyone always has their own little secret.

For example, so-and-so doesn’t like so-and-so, and so-and-so has a different view on something than the people above...

"Secrets" are spoken by people. No true secret will be hidden forever. But when a person relaxes physically and mentally, the things that have been hidden in the heart can't help but come to the fore.

For those who like to hide their whereabouts, finding an inn or a closed room will attract attention. In the teahouse in front of the public, the sound of the drama downstairs was loud and clear, but upstairs it was hidden behind a screen.

Whispering softly, not saying names, does anyone know who the person on the screen is and what he is doing?

To do the opposite and hide in the city, some people think this is really a great idea.

After all, who can stop a person’s right to listen to a play and drink tea?

But now, the idea that some people are proud of has been made shocking by a little kid.

Yes, this young man looks very frail and out of breath.

There were several people sitting next to Yan Ling's screen, and their faces were even worse.

Although they just came to watch the show as usual and did not do any other unnecessary things, but now that I think about it carefully, when the play ended, because the music sounded again in the teahouse, the surrounding sounds were not loud. It would attract people's attention, and naturally no one would hear the voice of the frail young master talking to the other party's younger brother.

At least a few of them didn't notice.

Yes, why? The people at that table heard it?

And according to what the person just said, that woman is the owner of this teahouse, so the richly dressed man standing with the woman must be someone related to the teahouse or the woman.

These people are not old customers here, or even people from Yanyu Kingdom, but a caravan that trades goods between countries. They came to this teahouse today just to relax.

People who do caravan business from various countries often travel to different countries, know more information than ordinary people, and naturally have more insight than ordinary businessmen. In order to obtain greater profits, they sometimes tell local merchants some specious words to increase the prices of their goods.

Fortunately, no one said anything this time and was heard by the people in the teahouse.

However, they began to be wary. Wherever they looked, the originally poetic and picturesque teahouse decorations suddenly no longer had the same taste.

…

When the teahouse became quieter and quieter, Zeng Ruoqing knew that this matter had begun to move towards a place beyond her control.

Zeng Ruoqing is a purebred ancient, but she is different from other women around her.

She has been dreaming since she was a child.

She didn't know what other people's dreams were like, but her dreams were different.

What appeared in the dream was very strange.

The lights in the dream will never go out, and the dazzling light is like the sunshine at noon.

The carriage in the dream does not need horses to pull it, but it is faster than the most courageous horse on the battlefield.

The stage in the dream is not just for watching one play, there are many people on the stage, and everyone's performance is so detailed that you can even see her rolling eyes, but they are all trapped in a big box.

It's like the world where fairies live in the storybook.

Weird and bizarre.

But as she grew up, and when she was able to reproduce some simple things in her dreams, she suddenly discovered that things in her dreams could actually become reality.

From then on, her heart was no longer limited to dreams, but to the Palace of the Prince of Hanshan.

But her power is still too small.

Zeng Ruoqing could feel questioning eyes falling on her.

Their suspicions were actually not wrong. She almost implemented the idea of ​​using the teahouse as a base to sell information, but there were not many people she could trust now.

It’s still a small matter to lose people’s hands.

If her plan is exposed, not only ordinary people will be afraid of her, but the entire Yanyu royal family, the most powerful person in the country, will begin to doubt her intentions.

Isn't her father the best example?

Unlike her grandfather, her father was an incompetent and cowardly man.

But he was his grandfather's only son, and he could only inherit the position of Duke Hanshan.

The Emperor doubted his father's loyalty. Something happened a while ago that took away his military power.

Does the father have any rebellious intentions?

That kind of person would probably not dare even if he had the intention.

Zeng Ruoqing laughed sarcastically in his heart.

However, it was really a surprise to hear what those two brothers said.

After all, their location happened to be next door to the two brothers, and both parties were about to come out at that time. Exit to exit, the distance was definitely closer than others.

Zeng Ruoqing had an arrogance in her heart that only she could understand about the things that came from her dream.

In her eyes, the things she has now, even those belonging to the royal family, are nothing compared to the things in her dreams!

So when she heard the two brothers making such comments about the drama in her dream, she was naturally unhappy.

Zeng Ruoqing's eyes fell on the two of them.

Others couldn't see it, but she realized immediately that these two people were acting.

Having watched so many dramas in dreams, she still had some ability to distinguish.

But what about the people around her? Including Li Yunlu, their faces changed as if their tails were clamped.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Her beautiful eyes were gentle and her voice gradually became louder. "It's really my fault that this happened. My friend and I have learned some martial arts, so we are naturally more sharp-eyed and sharp-eared than others. In addition, when Mr. Li and I passed by this screen, we were discussing today's play. Mr. Li liked this play very much. At this time, I happened to hear what these two guests said when they walked out, so I couldn't help but feel a little excited."

"Today's matter is, in the final analysis, I am a girl who is running a business for the first time. I lack experience. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"In addition, in order to thank all the old and new customers for their favor to our teahouse, from today, within three days, as long as you watch a play in the teahouse, the tea and snacks will all be paid at half price. It doesn't matter if the guests have just paid. We have accounts here, and these guests can extend one day at half price."

After a set of words, everyone who was still thinking about it suddenly laughed.

No one's money comes from the wind, and the food here is indeed a little more expensive than other places. Since the store promised half the price this time, it will not lie.

People's minds quickly jumped to other places, and the matter seemed to have passed.

A businessman wanted to say more, but was patted on the shoulder by the person next to him.

...

Under his sleeves, Yan Ling suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.

Was he wrong?

I thought it was a rabbit that only needed to be protected, but it turned out to be a fox that was good at hiding.
