When Du Qi returned to the backyard, Qianxue was already waiting at the door. At this time, there was no one in the yard. Qianxue could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She rushed to Du Qi's side and hugged Du Qi, choking with sobs.
Du Qi was not even 13 years old. But Du Qi grew very quickly. He was already more than 160 centimeters tall. Qianxue was more petite, about 160 centimeters tall. She hugged Du Qi and did not feel anything at all. She was very excited.
But Du Qi's mind was wavering.
Because the two lumps in front of Qianxue were pressing against his body. His mind was a little adrift. After a long while, Qianxue stood to the side shyly and lowered her head slightly, saying, "Young Master, Qianxue has been impulsive."
Du Qi said, "True temperament. Young Master likes it."
Qianxue heard this and smiled.
When he was on the diplomatic mission, Du Qi had already recognized Qianxue as a woman. When he spoke, he had less scruples. But Du Qi was too young now. There was not much to flirt with.
After some consolation, Qianxue also restrained her emotions and said, "Young Master, during this period of time, the world's best tea has opened tea shops in the entire Guanzhong area. There were even branches of tea shops in places like Bashu and Yangzhou that were even more prosperous. Now the tea shop's business is getting better and better. "
"Whether it is the main tea shop or the branches run by Lin Changhe and the others, they are all quite good. During the period when Young Master was away, the monthly dividends were also carried out. … "
Qianxue continued talking, as if she was very familiar with the matters of the tea shop.
Just this matter alone, she talked for a full hour.
Qianxue knew everything by heart.
After Qianxue finished, Du Qi smiled and said, "With you here, I am relieved."
Qianxue smiled and paused for a moment. Suddenly, she said, "Young Master, I have something to ask of you."
Du Qi said, "What is it?"
Qianxue said, "In the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, I have a sister called He Mengyao. My relationship with her is also very good. Back then, when I was at the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, Mengyao was suppressed from the beginning to the end because I was there. "
"After I left the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, the top hostess of the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion became Meng Yao. However, being the top hostess of the Imperial Fragrance Brothel sounded pretty good. She didn't have to worry about food or clothing. But everyone inside wants to come out. "
"Meng Yao also wants to come out."
"She knows that I've followed Young Master and that I'm living a good life. She hopes that I can help her and ask Young Master to redeem her freedom so that she can turn over a new leaf. Young Master, Mengyao also said that she won't make things difficult for Young Master. When the time comes, she will leave Chang 'an and find a small place to settle down. From then on, she won't be involved in worldly affairs. "
Qianxue said seriously, "Actually, Mengyao is a person with a hard life. It's not easy for her."
Du Qi's mind raced after hearing this.
He thought about many things in his heart. In particular, He Mengyao's words revealed her naivety, which made Du Qi somewhat suspicious. For a person who had been through worldly affairs for a long time to suddenly find a small place to settle down, it wasn't very realistic.
If He Mengyao wanted to turn over a new leaf, Du Qi wouldn't have any doubts about this matter alone.
But she wanted to go to a small place to settle down.
This matter didn't seem right.
Du Qi looked up and saw that Qianxue still had a longing look on her face. He thought about how during the time he was away, Qianxue had indeed contributed a lot in managing the tea shop. If it weren't for Qianxue, the tea shop wouldn't have been able to operate so well.
Du Qi thought about it and continued, "How about this? After I settle down in a few days, you can find some time to meet her."
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Qianxue heard this and immediately became excited.
She was incomparably happy.
Du Qi said, "Don't mention it. This is a simple matter."
After pausing for a while, Du Qi continued, "Alright, go about your business. Right now, I need to make a trip to the restaurant and Xinhua Wenxuan Bookstore to see how things are going. "
"Yes!"
Qianxue replied respectfully.
Du Qi stood up and left the Du Residence, heading in the direction of the restaurant. The restaurant was also in Yongxing City, so it didn't take long for Du Qi to arrive at the restaurant. Jin Wuque quickly went up to welcome him and led Du Qi to the backyard to take a seat.
Jin Wuque said respectfully, "Congratulations, Young Master. Young Master has returned from the Turks and made great contributions. I heard that Young Master is now a Rank 5 official in the imperial court, a baron of the founding county. Young Master's future will definitely be boundless. "
Du Qi said, "Old Jin, your flattery is pretty good. However, this restaurant of yours is really well-informed! You already know about the recent appointments in the imperial court. "
Jin Wuque said, "Young Master, there are many people coming and going in the restaurant. Especially in the summer, because the restaurant has introduced iced cold drinks, there are even more people coming. "
Speaking up to this point, Jin Wu Que suddenly said, "Young Master, there's one more thing. I, Jin Wu Que, acted on my own accord and did not report to Young Master.
Du Qi said, "What is it?"
Jin Wuque replied, "Young Master, when you left Chang 'an, I saw many people coming and going in the restaurant, and many people were discussing all kinds of news. It was obviously a gathering place for news."
"Therefore, I specially set up an organization to gather news. It is called Shadow."
"The reason why I set up Shadow was actually very simple. It was to collect some customers' preferences, as well as some news that was beneficial to the restaurant, so that the restaurant could make arrangements."
Jin Wuque said, "But now, Shadow is getting bigger and bigger. Running Shadow also requires a considerable amount of funds. I did not ask for Young Master's permission. Please punish me. "
When Du Qi heard Jin Wuque's words, his eyes lit up. This Jin Wuque was not bad!
Interesting!
Really interesting!
Du Qi nodded and said, "Old Jin, you have done well in setting up Shadow. Now, I am a tall tree that attracts the wind, especially the Eastern Palace. We have to be careful. With Shadow, we are well-informed and can gather information. And because of that, we can do things more efficiently. Not only did you not do anything wrong, you have done well. "
"Young Master, you are too kind."
When Jin Wuque heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He felt relieved because of Du Qi's affirmation.
Jin Wuque hurriedly said, "Young Master, most of the information is in the study. Please follow me. I have recorded some of the important information. You can take a look. "
Du Qi immediately stood up and followed Jin Wuque into the study. Jin Wuque took out a book and placed it beside Du Qi. He sat down obediently, and Du Qi flipped through it.
Jin Wuque was very meticulous in his work.
In the book, he recorded the day, the person, the place, and what happened. Even if some of the information was not clear, there was still a general description.
All in all, the information was very well recorded.
Du Qi continued reading, reading ten lines at a single glance, quickly scanning through them. He looked at the information that had happened in the past few months. When Du Qi was done, he went through it in his mind. Du Qi said, "Old Jin, you have a selfish motive for collecting information. You want revenge, right?"
When Jin Wuque heard this, his expression changed. He fell to his knees and kowtowed. "Young Master, please understand. I have selfish motives. Please punish me."
Jin Wuque's slave record had been destroyed. He was considered a free man.
However, Jin Wuque was still Du Qi's man. And he had always been by Du Qi's side. He admired Du Qi very much and was willing to work for Du Qi. He saw himself as one of Du Qi's men.
The moment he heard Du Qi expose his inner thoughts, Jin Wuque was filled with fear and trepidation.
