Du Qi returned to his own courtyard and left a down jacket for his father. After all, Du Ruhui had already gone to the Duke of Qin's residence to handle some matters. He could only wait for him to return before trying on the down jacket.
Du Qi brought the down jackets for the Duke of Qin and Zhangsun Wugou and headed to the Duke of Qin's residence. The carriage stopped outside the Duke of Qin's residence. Du Qi brought Liu Jian and Mordor into the residence. He was now in the Duke of Qin's residence. With the token given by Li Shimin, he did not need to report his entry and exit.
In the main hall, he waited for Li Shimin's summons.
Fortunately, he did not have to wait this time. Before long, an attendant came to summon Li Shimin to meet him in the study.
When Li Shimin saw Du Qi, he said, "Erlang, I heard that you entered the palace yesterday afternoon and gave some down jacket to Imperial Father. That night, Imperial Father summoned all of us to the palace for a banquet. Although there were braziers in the main hall, there were very few of them. All of us were shivering from the cold. Imperial Father wore a black down jacket and did not feel cold at all. "
After a pause, Li Shimin continued, "In the end, he took off his down jacket and only wore a so-called vest inside. He actually drank with us to his heart's content. You brat, you forgot about me when you had something good. This is not good! "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, you've wronged me."
Li Shimin said, "Explain clearly. If you don't, I won't let you off easily."
Du Qi explained, "I stayed in the palace for a long time yesterday and wasted a lot of time. By the time I returned to the Du residence, it was already late. Your Highness must have gone to bed early at night, so I did not disturb Your Highness. Didn't I come here early in the morning today? I gave His Majesty a down jacket. Your Highness also has one, and so does Qin Wangfei. "
"Liu Jian, bring it in!"
Du Qi ordered.
Liu Jian immediately brought in two folded down jackets, vest, and leggings. Du Qi took out the down jacket and said, "Your Highness, please stand still. I'll put it on for you."
"Alright!"
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
He immediately stood up and allowed Du Qi to put it on. Needless to say, it fit perfectly. It was neither too big nor too small. After Li Shimin put it on, he immediately felt warm and didn't feel cold anymore.
Li Shimin also learned from Li Yuan last night. He strode out of the study and arrived outside the study. Feeling the wind and snow outside, he suddenly laughed and said, "Good, good! This down jacket is really not bad. "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness is too kind."
Li Shimin said, "You just said, there's still the Wangfei's down jacket?"
"Yes!"
Du Qi nodded: "There are two sets of down jackets, one for His Highness and one for Her Highness, the other for Her Highness. These are for His Highness and Her Highness."
"Not bad, Princess Consort's love for you was not in vain."
A look of approval appeared on Li Shimin's face. He felt that Du Qi was not bad.
Du Qi took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, when I entered the palace yesterday, I saw His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty gave me the words' number one in the world 'to hang on the door of the shop selling down jackets. Now that His Majesty has inscribed it, Your Highness, do you think you should also mention a few words? "
Li Shimin said, "What should I inscribe? Imperial Father has already given you a plaque with Imperial Father's words. Now, you don't have to worry about people going to cause trouble. You can also publicize it. This is the best protection for you. "
Du Qi continued: "Your Highness, what you want to inscribe is a couplet. This couplet is to be hung at the door of the shop for people to see. Think about it, a plaque with His Majesty's inscription and His Highness Duke of Qin's inscription, this is true peace of mind. "
"You brat …"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "That's fine. Tell me, what words do you want to inscribe?"
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, the couplet is called 'Thousands of needles and tens of thousands of threads turn into a beautiful melody, a foot and two cut into a beautiful spring and autumn'."
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. The couplet that Du Qi displayed was of an extremely high standard. It was extremely exquisite and could be considered a classic.
It was especially fitting for a clothing shop.
Li Shimin paused for a moment, then dipped his brush in ink and quickly wrote down the couplet. After the ink dried, Li Shimin put it away and gave it to Du Qi. "You brat, you really don't lose out!"
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, you don't lose out either. I've already promised His Majesty thirty percent of the profits from this down jacket shop. This is to enrich His Majesty's palace treasury. I've also promised to give you thirty percent of the profits as thanks for your inscription. "
"No need."
Li Shimin shook his head. "Although I need money, I don't need you to give it to me. You'll give Imperial Father thirty percent of the profits, but you'll still have to pay for your own expenses. There's no need to take care of the Duke of Qin's Residence. You've affected the Eastern Palace and helped the Duke of Qin's Residence a lot. That's enough. "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, if you think thirty percent is not appropriate, why don't we make it ten percent? Ten percent of the profits is to thank Her Highness for taking care of me and also to thank Her Highness for choosing a marriage for me. It's not easy for Her Highness to manage the Duke of Qin's Residence, so ten percent of the profits is not a small amount. "
Li Shimin did not refuse when he heard that it was for Zhangsun Wugou. He said, "Alright, we'll do as you say."
After a pause, Li Shimin said, "Since you want to give the down jacket to Her Highness, go ahead. You can talk about the details yourself. I won't get involved. "
"Yes!"
Du Qi did not stay any longer. He left the study and brought Liu Jian to the backyard.
The weather was cold now. Although Zhangsun Wugou was young, he had suffered a lot when he was young. Therefore, his body was not in good condition.
After Zhangsun Wugou put on the down jacket that Du Qi sent over, Zhangsun Wugou felt his entire body warm up. Following that, Du Qi mentioned that he would give him 10% of the profits.
Zhangsun Wugou wanted to refuse.
However, Du Qi said that it was to thank Zhangsun Wugou for matchmaking. In the end, Zhangsun Wugou accepted it. After all, this was Du Qi's kind intentions. Moreover, it was only ten percent of the profits. Zhangsun Wugou felt that it was not a lot of money, so he accepted it.
Du Qi delivered the gift and got what he wanted. Then, he returned to the Du Residence.
After being busy for a while, Du Qi returned to the Du Family. At this time, it was already close to noon, and the weather was still quite cold. Moreover, black clouds covered the sky, and the entire sky was slightly dark.
After lunch, Du Qi rested for a while. In the afternoon, he went to the palace and came back early.
At this time, Du Qi went to the house of Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Zhao. After all, they were his future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and future daughter-in-law. Naturally, he had to take good care of them.
With the down jacket, he could not forget this family. Du Qi had seen Princess Consort Zhao and Li Yanyun. He knew their height, so he could make them. As for Li Xiaogong, Du Qi could only deal with him as he saw fit and act accordingly.
When Du Qi arrived outside the Prince of Zhao's Mansion, his appearance caused the originally quiet Prince of Zhao's Mansion to become lively. The entire Prince of Zhao's Mansion began to move. Li Xiaogong went to the hall to welcome him.
However, Princess Consort Zhao and Li Yanyun were in the backyard.
After all, they were women.
It was not suitable for them to appear for the time being.
After seeing Li Xiaogong, Du Qi bowed respectfully and said, "I am Du Qi. Greetings, Prince of Zhao."
This was the first time Du Qi saw Li Xiaogong. Li Xiaogong was a typical Confucian general. He was tall and slender. Although he often went to the battlefield, he did not have a murderous aura. Instead, he was quite elegant.
This was Du Qi's first impression.
