Du Ruhui was originally filled with anger, but after Du Qi's words, all his anger dissipated. He looked at Du Qi and sighed. "Erlang, the situation is unstable now. You have to be careful. Do you understand?"
Du Qi said, "I understand!"
He knew that the current situation was treacherous and unpredictable. After all, as long as Li Shimin didn't ascend the throne, the entire King of Qin's bloodline would be in danger. They had to be careful.
Du Qi said, "Father, you're the King of Qin's right-hand man. You have to be careful too."
Du Ruhui said, "You don't have to worry about my safety."
Du Qi stood up and said, "Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Wait!"
Du Ruhui waved his hand to stop him.
Du Qi sat down again and asked, "Father, why did you stop me?"
Du Ruhui's lips curled into a smile. "Tonight at the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, you wrote 'Epigraph of My Shack' to express your ambition. Tell me, what is your ambition? "
Du Qi said, "Father, my ambition isn't as noble or elegant as' Epigraph of My Shack '. Your son's ambition is to have an endless supply of money. I can eat and sleep, sleep and eat. I can do whatever I want. I'll be free and unrestrained. "
"Unfilial son!"
When Du Ruhui heard this, he slapped the table in front of him, his face full of anger.
Du Ruhui had discovered Du Qi's talent and knew that Du Qi was capable. He hoped that Du Qi would become an official and that Du Qi would become outstanding and bring honor to his ancestors.
He didn't expect Du Qi's ambition to be so vulgar.
All he wanted was to eat and sleep and eat. Was he a pig? And what kind of freedom was that?
Du Ruhui had been looking forward to it.
But now, there was only anger.
Du Qi knew what Du Ruhui was thinking when he saw his father's expression. He said seriously, "Father, you can leave the matter of bringing honor to our ancestors and inheriting the family business to Big Brother. I don't have any thoughts. I just want to enjoy it comfortably. Living like this was already very tiring. Now that I have the chance, I should enjoy it. "
Du Ruhui said solemnly, "You really have no ambition!"
Du Qi said, "Father, you are the King of Qin's right-hand man. When the King of Qin ascends the throne, you will be the Prime Minister of the court. At your level, don't you have to work hard every day and be extremely tired? "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "I don't like this kind of life. I like to stay in the Du family and live my own life. Your son's ambition is not high. My only wish is for my parents to be in good health and for my family to be safe. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. That's enough for me. "
"You, you …"
Du Ruhui was touched, but he was also angry. This was because the talent and knowledge Du Qi had already far surpassed his eldest son, Du Qi. As long as Du Qi worked hard, his future would be limitless.
However, Du Qi's ambitions did not lie here.
Du Qi smiled. "Father, everyone has their own ambitions. Moreover, it won't be easy to reach your son's goal. But don't worry, father. No matter what, your son is still a member of the Du family. I won't ruin the Du family's reputation. "
Du Ruhui was furious, but after some thought, he decided not to argue with Du Qi. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Go and rest."
"Yes!"
Du Qi got up and excused himself.
He also breathed a sigh of relief. It could be said that he had dodged a calamity. This was especially true when Du Ruhui did not forcefully interfere after he had stated his ambition. This meant that Du Ruhui would not interfere too much when Du Qi did business and made money later on.
Du Qi returned to his courtyard and went to bed early.
The next day, early morning.
After Du Qi ate breakfast in the morning, he went back to sleep and only left the manor when the sun was high in the sky. This trip out of the residence was to head for the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion again, to meet the procuress of the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion.
When Du Qi arrived at the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, he did not directly look for the person but went straight to see Qianxue.
If it were before Du Qi got to know Qianxue, Qianxue would probably not receive him even if he handed over his name card. But now, it was different. The moment he handed over his name card, he was brought to Qianxue's courtyard very quickly by someone.
The maidservant brought Du Qi to the door but did not enter. She waved her hand and said, "Sir, please come in!"
Du Qi pushed the door open and entered.
This was Qianxue's bedroom. After Du Qi entered, he had just walked a few steps when he saw a languid figure lying on the bed. It was shockingly Qianxue. She was wearing a thin gauze, her red undergarment could be faintly seen, as well as her fair and tender skin.
Her slender thighs were clearly visible.
When Du Qi saw Qianxue's appearance, especially the seductive aura exuding from her body, even Du Qi felt his heart sway.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said lightly, "Miss Qianxue, it's time to get up."
Qianxue made a sound of acknowledgment, her voice soft.
It was even more alluring.
It made people who heard it tremble from the bottom of their hearts, as if they could not help but want to kiss her. Du Qi, on the other hand, had a carefree expression as he sat down at the side, quietly admiring this scene.
Qianxue had already woken up. Looking at Du Qi's appearance, she wondered if her appearance was not good enough. Du Qi entered the room, but he did not move at all. He was not affected at all. She felt a sense of defeat in her heart.
After Qianxue got up, she changed her clothes in front of Du Qi. She took off the layer of gauze on her body and changed into her clothes.
She did not avoid it, and Du Qi also looked at her.
However, Du Qi's eyes were clear, as if he was admiring her. In fact, the so-called dressing style of the later generations could be said to be much bolder. Although Qianxue's appearance was seductive, in the end, Du Qi had seen more explosive scenes, so he was not affected.
Qianxue put on her clothes and saw Du Qi's appearance. She was angry but also impressed. She did not expect that in Du Qi's eyes, she was not charming at all.
Du Qi's gentlemanly appearance made Qianxue feel relieved and at ease.
Du Qi said, "Miss Qianxue, I'm here to fulfill my promise."
Qianxue took out a box and handed it to Du Qi. She said, "Young Master Du, this is worth 10,000 strings of cash. If you want to redeem my freedom, you need this price. "
Du Qi raised his eyebrows, a little shocked.
10,000 strings of cash!
He did not expect that Qianxue would need 10,000 strings of cash to redeem herself.
This was not a small amount.
Du Qi thought and said, "Is it really 10,000 strings of cash to redeem Miss Qianxue?"
"Yes!"
Qianxue nodded and answered.
Du Qi's eyes turned, and he thought for a while. Then he said, "Miss Qianxue took out 10,000 strings of cash, and I will accept it. But I do have an idea. "
Qianxue said, "Young Master Du, please speak."
Du Qi replied, "According to Miss Qianxue, you need 10,000 strings of cash to redeem yourself. But if I bargain, let's say 10,000 strings of cash to redeem yourself, I will take 6,000 strings of cash, and you and I will split the remaining 4,000 strings of cash. How about that? "
"Ah!"
After Qianxue heard it, she could not help but cry out in surprise.
She never thought that when it came to such a serious matter as redeeming herself, Du Qi would bargain and earn the money to redeem herself. Such a move made Qianxue extremely surprised.
She did not even expect it.
After Qianxue came back to her senses, she said, "Young Master Du, this is the money for redeeming myself."
Du Qi said confidently, "Miss Qianxue's words are reasonable. This is indeed the money for Miss Qianxue's freedom. The problem is that according to Miss Qianxue, you need 10,000 strings of cash to redeem yourself. Even if Miss Qianxue redeems herself, 10,000 strings of cash may not be completed. So, you need me to come forward. Under such a premise, I have racked my brains and racked my brains to plan. If I can cut down the price, save for Miss Qianxue, and even give you a part of it, I will be extremely benevolent. "
After Qianxue heard it, she thought it over carefully. It seemed to be true.
If she wanted to redeem herself, it would be difficult.
Even if she could, she would need 10,000 strings of cash.
If Du Qi came forward and could reduce it, it would be good. However, Qianxue felt that it was strange. One must know that Du Qi was a talented person with high aspirations. However, such a person was talking about money in such a vulgar manner. It was really strange.
Du Qi continued, "Miss Qianxue, what do you think? You have to know that if you pass this village, there will be no such shop. I am your only chance now. "
"I am willing!"
Qianxue nodded.
Although she felt that the Du Qi in front of her made her feel a little strange. But no matter what, Qianxue was willing. Putting aside this point, there was no need to doubt Du Qi's talent.
Du Qi smiled and said seriously, "Then it's a deal. Now, Miss Qianxue, arrange for someone to inform the procuress of the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion and let her come. I will discuss with her about redeeming your freedom. "
Qianxue immediately agreed and arranged for someone to inform.
Qianxue also put on her clothes and went straight to the courtyard. She sat down in the pavilion with Du Qi and quietly waited for the procuress to arrive. Not long after, a middle-aged woman in her thirties entered the courtyard. This person was the procuress of the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion.
In this era, a woman in her thirties was old enough to be a grandmother.
She was already considered an old person.
The procuress was very powdered, and her face was full of smiles. After she entered the courtyard, she saw Du Qi and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this the second young master of the Du family? I wonder why the second young master is here today?"
Du Qi waited for the procuress to sit down and said, "I am here today to redeem Qianxue."
The procuress said, "No problem, this is what I should do."
Regarding the matter of redeeming Qianxue, the procuress was already prepared. After all, she said yesterday to let Qianxue leave the pavilion. If someone was willing to redeem Qianxue, that was normal. Moreover, after the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion lost Qianxue, they could still promote a new courtesan.
Du Qi said with a smile, "I am here today to redeem myself. I am willing to take out 4,000 strings of cash to redeem Miss Qianxue."
"What?"
When the procuress heard, she immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Du, what do you mean? 4,000 strings of cash can't redeem Qianxue. My Imperial Fragrance Pavilion doesn't have such a rule. "
