Wang Yu hurriedly said, "Young Master is too courteous. It is our Wang Family's honor to serve Young Master. Moreover, this old ginseng is useless in the Wang Family's storehouse. It is a waste of its value. This old ginseng can be of great use to Young Master. It has a corresponding value. "
Du Qi nodded gently and said, "No matter what, I have to thank you all."
Wang Yu hurriedly said that there was no need.
To him, Du Qi not targeting them and not exposing them was already a blessing.
After all, the old ginseng belonged to the Wang Family.
It did not affect them.
Du Qi changed the topic and said, "Alright, I won't waste any more time. I still have to go south to Chang 'an. Goodbye! "
He came to the Wang Family for the information and the old ginseng.
The information was to deal with the Eastern Palace.
As for the old ginseng, it was to be given to Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuan was old. Gifts and the like were instead useless. This old ginseng could nourish the body. It was to his liking.
Although Wang Yu and Wang Qiao smiled and helped Du Qi carefully in the Wang Family, no one knew what they thought of Du Qi. Du Qi could not be bothered to guess.
So, he simply left.
He felt uncomfortable staying in the Wang Family.
Wang Yu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay. As the host, he had to let Du Qi enjoy himself.
Du Qi shook his head and refused, resolutely heading south.
Seeing this, Wang Yu stopped trying to persuade him. In fact, Wang Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Because Du Qi was here, he felt uncomfortable all the time. He felt like a sharp sword was hanging over his head, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
So, Wang Yu hurriedly arranged for someone to fetch the old ginseng and hand it to Du Qi. Du Qi took the old ginseng and looked at it carefully. The long whiskers on this old ginseng were extremely fine. Moreover, even if Du Qi did not know how to tell the age of an old ginseng, he knew that this old ginseng was not young.
Du Qi put away the old ginseng and led his men south.
As they headed south, their speed became slower and slower. Because of the wind and snow, the roads would sometimes be blocked by heavy snow. It was no longer as easy to travel south as it was in August and September.
When Du Qi returned to Chang 'an, it was already November.
The weather was getting colder.
After Du Qi returned to Chang 'an, he was not in a hurry to go home. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he went straight to the palace. After Du Qi entered the palace, he saw Li Yuan in the main hall. He bowed and saluted, "Du Qi pays respect to Your Majesty."
The smile on Li Yuan's face was brilliant, he let Du Qi take a seat. After Du Qi was seated, Li Yuan said, "Erlang, you've been in Daizhou for more than half a year, you've changed a lot. He had grown taller and more vigorous. Tell me, how is life in the Northern Lands of Daizhou? "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, now I am at the Gate of Yan, everything is fine. After all, my father is the Substitute Prefecture General Manager, and as the son of the Substitute Prefecture General Manager, I have the identity of a hedonistic son. I can do whatever I want without any scruples. "
Li Yuan laughed when he heard that.
Seeing that Du Qi's mental state was not bad, and that he had no resentment, Li Yuan was relieved.
Li Yuan continued, "I already know that Wang Ji went to the Gate of Yan to ask you for help. I have already taken care of this matter. The Eastern Palace will not do anything to the Academy of the Tang dynasty. You can rest assured. "
Du Qi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Changing the topic, Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, during the time I was at the Gate of Yan in Daizhou, I also managed the business well. When I was in the Northern Lands, I happened to get something that Your Majesty could use. Now that I have returned to Chang 'an, I brought it back for Your Majesty. Please kindly accept it. "
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, there was a happy expression on his face. He asked, "Erlang, what did you bring back?"
For Li Yuan, it was not important whether the gift was valuable or not. The most important thing was that Du Qi, this kid, thought of him and came back to bring him a gift. Li Yuan was very happy.
Li Yuan was an emperor.
At the same time, Li Yuan was also an old man.
He regarded Du Qi as his grandson. When it was not related to state affairs, Li Yuan was an old man in his early sixties. Du Qi brought back a gift, he was naturally very happy.
Du Qi ordered, "Bring it in!"
At this time, the eunuch outside the main hall came in with a brocade box. This was brought into the palace by Du Qi, but previously at the entrance of the Sweet Nectar Hall, he temporarily gave it to a little eunuch to hold.
Du Qi took it and held it in his hands.
Xiao Li immediately stepped forward, took the box, and put it on the table in front of Li Yuan. Li Yuan opened the brocade box very expectantly. What greeted his eyes was an old ginseng.
After Li Yuan saw it, a smile appeared on his old face. He nodded and said, "Xiao Li, look, this kid Erlang is really thoughtful. This old ginseng, I am afraid it is quite old. "
Xiao Li said, "Your Majesty, this old servant knows a little. This old ginseng, I am afraid it is no less than eight hundred years old. Even close to a thousand years old. "
Du Qi was surprised by Xiao Li's kindness.
However, he also understood that this was Xiao Li's intelligence, giving Du Qi kindness.
Du Qi said, "Manager Xiao is really discerning, this old ginseng is indeed close to a thousand years old."
"Oh, it is really like that."
Li Yuan's grizzled eyebrows rose, his smile became even more pronounced.
It should be known that even in the palace, although there were many old ginseng, there was no old ginseng close to a thousand years old. At Li Yuan's age, it was the time when he needed tonics the most, especially nourishing things like old ginseng, which could be used to stew soup, and could also be soaked in water to drink.
Both were beneficial to Li Yuan's health, so Li Yuan was very happy.
This was the most suitable for him.
Li Yuan lowered his head and sniffed lightly, the smell of the old ginseng soaked into his nose.
In a split second, Li Yuan felt his spirit was a little better.
With a look of approval, he said, "Erlang, you are thoughtful. This gift, we like it very much. You were at Yanmen, to be able to collect this old ginseng, I am afraid it was not easy. "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, actually it was just a matter of coincidence. I came across it, so I bought it. After all, this kind of old ginseng is most suitable for Your Majesty to use. "
Li Yuan closed the brocade box, to prevent the old ginseng's nutrition from flowing away. He was delighted in his heart, and said, "Erlang, after you worship your ancestors, you might as well stay in Chang 'an. After all, your father went to Daizhou, he has already secured his position. Moreover, the power of the aristocratic families and powerful families within Daizhou has already been weakened. If you want to stay in Chang 'an, then stay. "
This was the result of Li Yuan's delight.
Once he was happy, he did not care about anything else.
Let Du Qi stay in Chang 'an.
Du Qi's mind turned, he knew this was the result of Li Yuan's delight. Du Qi did not intend to stay all the time, after all, staying in Chang 'an, this whirlpool, was temporarily inappropriate. On the contrary, it was better to be unrestrained in Daizhou.
It could also set Li Yuan's mind at ease.
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, Daizhou's commercial system has just begun, this subject cannot leave for the time being. Therefore, after the worship of the ancestors is over and the matter is more or less settled, I have to go north to Daizhou. So much so that after the New Year, I might even make a trip to Yangzhou. Because the Tang dynasty private bank that I opened is preparing to set up branches in Chang 'an and Yangzhou. "
The matter of the bank, Li Yuan knew about it.
After all, Wei Daxiong passing on information was not a rare thing. After all, nowadays, there were many pawnshops all over the country. It was just that Du Qi's private bank had more functions than pawnshops.
Seeing that Du Qi was unwilling to stay, Li Yuan felt that it was not bad. If Du Qi was not in Chang 'an, he would not get involved in the struggle between the Prince of Qin and the Eastern Palace.
Li Yuan seized the opportunity to say, "All right, I don't care whether you stay or not. If you want to stay in Chang 'an, then go back to Chang' an. If you want to go to Daizhou, then go to Daizhou. If you want to go to Yangzhou, then go to Yangzhou. In short, you can do as you see fit with your own affairs. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Qi thanked him again.
For Du Qi, it was enough that Li Yuan allowed him to return to Chang 'an at any time. With this order, Du Qi could openly return to Chang 'an, no longer constrained.
