Chapter 1041: Faithful Disciple
The perfume was successfully made, Chen Xu was a little excited and went straight to the Qinghe Villa outside the city, and when he was about to leave the city, he remembered that Fan Caiwei lived outside the mansion alone, so he ordered to turn around and go to the south of the city.
The sister-in-law of the past has become a concubine, touching it, and the day is also the day, and Fan Caiwei on the bed is also serving very gently, although in Chen Xu's mind, Fan Caiwei's sense of existence is far inferior to her sister Fan Caiying, but after all, she is also his wife, perfume, which is an extremely tempting item for women, he categorically still wants a bowl of water to be flat, and when the perfume is made in large quantities in the future, it will eventually be sold through Fan Caiwei's hands, so he needs to get some opinions from Fan Caiwei on perfume.
Since accepting Fan Caiwei, Chen Xu has handed over all the operations of Qinghe's store to her to dispose of.
Nowadays, as Daqin becomes more and more prosperous, transportation and commerce are becoming more and more prosperous, Qinghe stores are getting bigger and bigger, and now chain institutions are all over more than 30 counties in Daqin, in addition to opening Bashu and Qianzhong and the newly conquered Lingnan land, almost all counties in the country have opened branches, and Qinghe stores have also been officially upgraded to Qingheyuan Trading Company, becoming a comprehensive group integrating shopping, accommodation, catering, performance and entertainment. Chen Xu simply adjusted and upgraded the management of Qinghe Park, Fan Caiwei was in charge of Qinghe Store, Huangfu was in charge of Qinghe Hotel, Bo Daocheng was in charge of Qinghe Theater, and then Yang Kun recommended a friend of Business to be the general manager of Qinghe Group. As a result, the Qinghe Group, which he founded at the earliest, is also on the right track like today's Huaxia Qianzhuang, and has become a comprehensive large company with strict management all over the country.
Because it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xianyang has been very lively recently, the flow of cars and horses coming and going on the street is endless, which is also mixed with a large number of Hu people, leading camels to look left and right in the crowd, looking cautious, being hit by passers-by and quickly nodding and apologizing, and some people with identity will drive horses directly with whips and scold, these Hu people can only quickly hug their heads and beg for mercy.
In the face of this kind of thing, Chen Xu is also a little helpless, too much, he can't manage it at all, the Central Plains people who have experienced hundreds of years of fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are very barbaric, and the Qin people who advocate military merits are even more barbaric, fighting on the street in the past is commonplace, and Chen Xu reminded the lieutenant's mansion several times in the court to strengthen public security and several strikes, Xianyang's current atmosphere is much better, but it is not good to bully his own people, and it is not a psychological burden to bully Hu Man, not only among the people, but even in the official aristocracyWhen you see the dirty and shrunken Hu people on the street, whether it is a commoner or a businessman, an official will unconsciously give birth to a high-spirited and unparalleled momentum, and it is commonplace to beat, scold, scold and drive away.
From the west of the city all the way to the south of the city, he saw several cases of bullying the Hu people on the way, and Chen Xu saw that he naturally couldn't ignore them, so he asked the accompanying guards to disperse these people, and said a few words of comfort to the wronged Hu people, but that's all, the current atmosphere of Daqin from top to bottom is like this, and he can't change it for a while.
However, seeing Chen Xu's attitude towards these Hu people, the people of Daqin, who scolded and bullied the Hu people, still put away their thoughts slightly, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing Chen Xu's honor guard go away, and then changed places...... Continue to bully Hu people, this is a big holiday, and it won't be fun if you don't have fun.
Wherever Chen Xu passed, pedestrians on the street retreated, and the four-wheel drive luxury carriage roared through the city under the escort of a group of tiger-backed guards, and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the south of the city half an hour later.
However, the once quiet courtyard was a little noisy today, with a carriage and a few camels parked at the door, and a few merchants in fancy clothes were gathering at the door and a few guards guarding the gate did not know what they were talking about.
Chen Xu frowned and ordered the carriage to speed up, and soon came to the gate of the courtyard, and after a group of Hu merchants saw it, they all scattered in fright and knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.
The luxurious carriage that came in front of him was known to everyone in Xianyang, even if they were people from the Western Regions who came from thousands of miles, they also knew that there were two people in Xianyang who could not be messed with at all, one was the first emperor and the other was the marquis of Qinghe.
The first emperor is a little better, he lives in the palace on weekdays, and you can't mess with it, even if he goes out of the palace to parade, thousands of forbidden troops hug him before and after, and dare to look at him more in the crowd, maybe he will be hacked into a dead dog by the forbidden army for plotting against him.
Therefore, when you come to Xianyang, the most important thing to be treated with is Qinghehou.
I heard that this young marquis, when the left minister and Shangqing is a disciple of the immortal family inherited by the gods, he has the immortal magic of calling the wind and rain to control the thunder and lightning, and he is not a person at all, but I have also heard that the Hou of Qinghe has an easy-going temperament, and treats the Qin people and Hu people equally, and belongs to the nobles who yearn to be acquainted, but ordinary people want to see the Marquis of Qinghe, it is not an easy thing to do, because I heard that this Hou Ye is very lazy, and he doesn't like the court very much on weekdays, and his favorite hides at home to grow vegetables and cook with his mother-in-law.
Chen Xu frowned and got out of the car, looking at the group of people lying on the ground, although they were all dressed in luxurious Central Plains costumes, but their faces and hairstyles were not serious Central Plains people at first glance, and the voices of greeting were also lame, this was obviously a group of Hu people.
"What happened?" Chen Xu's face was slightly ugly.
She hid Jiaojiao in her own golden house and left her sister-in-law alone in this small courtyard, first, she was busy with work on weekdays, and like Fan Caiying at the beginning, it was very troublesome to come and go to Qinghe Courtyard, and secondly, she also felt that her status was low, and her usual temperament was a little lonely, and she was not social at all, and she was unwilling to face Chen Xu with her sister, and she still had a mustard in her heart that had not been unraveled.
Fan Caiwei is like this, Chen Xu naturally has to live outside alone, in fact, it's okay, just like when Fan Caiying lived outside alone, Chen Xu can occasionally sneak to taste a few bites of solitary food, so as not to face a group of wives at home every day, and flip the cards are a little careful to take care of everyone's emotions, after all, if you are more pampered, you will inevitably snub the others, he feels that a group of women should be treated equally, although the Hou Mansion and outsiders don't seem to be like this, but Chen Xu himself must grasp this degree, In this way, family harmony is guaranteed.
But leaving Fan Caiwei outside alone, in fact, Chen Xu was also a little uneasy, not because she was afraid that she would go out of the wall to give herself a green hat, but mainly because of safety issues, so Chen Xu deliberately arranged a few guards from the Hou Mansion in this small courtyard.
"Lord Hou, these are Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and they want to see Madame, but Madame just passed the word and didn't want to see them, so these people stayed here and begged bitterly!" One of the guards hurriedly clenched his fists and said.
"Why are you gathering here to harass my wife, don't you know that this is the property of my Hou Mansion?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the group of people kneeling on the ground.
"Master Hou spares my life, I just want to discuss some business with my wife!" Several businessmen turned pale and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept explaining and begging for mercy in the broken Central Plains.
"This is the only time, not an example, since my wife doesn't see you waiting, don't leave quickly, otherwise Benhou will send you to the Lieutenant's Mansion!" Chen Xu walked into the door with a wave of his sleeves.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your forgiveness!" A group of people got up tremblingly, and before they had time to wipe the sweat off their faces, they quickly climbed into the carriage and the camel and left the wilderness.
"Master Hou, these Hu businessmen are getting bolder and bolder!" The leader of the guards said dissatisfiedly as he followed.
"Xianyang is so prosperous, it is reasonable for these Hu merchants to want to come to our Hou Mansion business, and let the guards have a slightly better attitude in the future!" Chen Xu said as he walked.
The head of the guard shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Master Hou, you are too good to these Hu people, if it weren't for your advice, how dare these Hu people stay in front of the fifth lady's mansion noisily, from the perspective of our subordinates, in the future, our attitude will be like other princes and princesses, if we don't want to see it, just go away!" ”
"It's a guest from afar, why bother, don't allow it!" Chen Xu shook his head and quickly walked into the courtyard, and saw a stunning woman wearing a goose yellow dress and a long hair shawl hurrying out with a comb, followed by two maids.
"Cai Wei meets Master Hou!" Fan Caiwei bowed down, Chen Xu hugged her in her arms and said, "It's not dark yet, how can you wash up?" ”
"The concubine guessed that Hou Ye might come today, so she specially bathed and changed clothes to welcome Hou Ye's arrival!" Fan Caiying blushed and whispered.
"Hey, how do you know that Ben Hou is coming back today, could it be that you also know the art of heavenly deduction?" Chen Xu quietly landed on Fan Caiwei's upright buttocks, and his hand stopped.
"Sister Shui arranged for a servant to tell me today!" Fan Caiwei felt the teasing of that big hand, and instantly felt a little sore, leaning on Chen Xu's arms and humming shyly.
So that's the case, Chen Xu instantly understood.
She didn't go home for the night yesterday, and Shui Qingrou guessed that she might come to visit Fan Caiwei today, so she specially informed Fan Caiwei to wait for her at home.
Chen Xu is very emotional, among these women, only Shui Qingrou really understands herself, and in the entire Hou Mansion, only Shui Qingrou can still think independently, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan are basically based on their own will as the direction, with a standard husband and wife attitude in life, Chen Xu is good, they are good, Chen Xu is not good, they are estimated to only cry, of course, Fan Caiying is also a woman who can think independently, but the nature and direction of thinking are different from Shui Qing, her goal is to share the pressure for Chen Xu.
Shui Qingrou once vowed to follow and protect Chen Xu for the rest of her life, but there were twists and turns along the way, and after a life-and-death battle with Huang Shigong, the little girl in her heart was completely abandoned and buried by herself, and since then she has been with each other day and night, she wants to fulfill her promise, so she stays in the Hou Mansion all day long to carefully arrange Chen Xu's living life, sort out the manuscripts for him, copy all kinds of unintelligible manuscripts, and of course, there are more than ten boxes of manuscripts written by Chen Xu on weekdays, and now in the study, there are more than ten boxes of manuscripts written by Shui Qingsoft, Chen Xu had looked through some of them, and although he thought it was funny, he was very moved by the strict and serious attitude of the water gentleness.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of disciples sorting out manuscripts for their teachers.
The theories of the hundred schools of thought that are circulating today have been sorted out and revised by generations of disciples over the past hundreds of years, and Chen Xu founded the Academy of Letters, a bookstore and a publishing house, completely turning this purely folk cultural activity into an official activity, and using the power of the state to carry forward and inherit the various theories of the Chinese sages, so that the Chinese civilization can develop more colorful.
Shui Qingrou once said that she would be Chen Xu's most faithful disciple, record every bit of Chen Xu's life, and gather and publish a masterpiece in the future to pass on.
Of course, Chen Xu can only express his support for the idea and practice of water gentleness.
He also really hopes that thousands of years later, there will still be an imperial masterpiece circulating in China, which is full of theories and stories about him.
