Chapter 1041 Faithful Disciple

After the perfume was successfully made, Chen Xu was a little excited and took a bus straight to Qinghe Villa outside the city. When he was about to leave the city, he remembered that Fan Caiwei lived alone outside the mansion, so he ordered to turn to the south of the city.

In the past, my sister-in-law became a concubine and touched her. It was getting more and more days. Fan Caiwei served her very gentlely on the bed. Although in Chen Xu's mind, Fan Caiwei's presence was far less than her sister Fan Caiying, she was still considered her own wife. Perfume, which is extremely tempting for women, still needs to be served in a bowl of water. When the perfume is made in large quantities in the future, it will eventually be sold through Fan Caiwei's hands. Therefore, he needs to get some advice from Fan Caiwei on the perfume.

Since taking Fan Caiwei, Chen Xu has handed over all the operations of Qinghe Store to her for full disposal.

Nowadays, as the Qin Dynasty becomes more and more prosperous, transportation and commerce become more and more prosperous, Qinghe shops are also getting bigger and bigger. Now chain institutions are spread across more than 30 counties in Daqin. Except for Bashu, Guizhou and the newly conquered Lingnan areas, almost all counties and cities in the country have opened branches. Qinghe shops have also officially been upgraded to Qingheyuan Trading Company, becoming a comprehensive group integrating shopping, accommodation, catering, performances and entertainment. Huangfuque has limited capabilities and has long been unable to control it. Therefore, after marrying Fan Caiwei, Chen Xu simply adjusted and upgraded the management of Qingheyuan. Fan Caiwei is the master.

Guan Qinghe Store, Huangfu Que was in charge of Qinghe Hotel, Bo Daocheng was in charge of Qinghe Theater, and then Yang Kun recommended a business friend to be the general manager of Qinghe Group. Chen Xu later recruited several famous celebrities in the Daqin business circle and established a Qinghe Group management team, straightening out the management, procurement, finance, inspection, logistics and other parts, completely changing the previous management state of beard and eyebrows, making the Qinghe Group, which he first founded, completely on track like the current Huaxia Money House, and became a comprehensive large company with strict management throughout the country.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Xianyang has been very lively recently. There are endless traffic and horses coming and going on the streets, and there are also a large number of Hu people, who are holding camels and looking around in the crowd, with a cautious expression. When they are hit by passers-by, they nodded and apologized. Some people with identities drive them to beat and scold them with whips, and these Hu people can only hug their heads and beg for mercy.

Chen Xu was helpless in the face of this kind of thing. There were too many things that could not be taken care of. The people of the Central Plains who had experienced hundreds of years of fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were very barbaric, while the Qin people who advocated military merit were even more barbaric. In the past, fighting on the streets was common. After Chen Xu reminded the Lieutenant's Mansion several times in the court to strengthen public security and crack down on several severe crackdowns, the current trend in Xianyang is much better, but bullying his own people is not enough. It is not possible to bully Hu Man at all. Not only that among the people, but even in the official aristocratic class, the same is true for seeing dirty Hu people on the streets. Whether civilians or merchants and officials would unconsciously develop a sense of arrogant and unparalleled momentum. Beating, scolding, and expelling Hu people.

From the west of the city to the south of the city, I saw several bullying of the Hu people on the road. Chen Xu naturally couldn't ignore it when he saw it. He let the accompanying guards disperse these people and comfort the wronged Hu people with kind words, but that's all. This is the current trend of the Qin Dynasty from top to bottom, and he couldn't change it for a while.

However, seeing Chen Xu's attitude towards these Hu people, the Qin people who scolded and bullied Hu people still put aside their thoughts a little, watched Chen Xu's ceremonial guard go away before breathing a sigh of relief, and then changed places... and continued to bully Hu people. This festival is a big holiday, it would be too fun to not have fun.

Wherever Chen Xu passed by, pedestrians on the street retreated one after another. The four-wheel drive luxury carriage was escorted by a group of guards with tiger backs and bears, and half an hour later, they arrived at a secluded courtyard in the south of the city.

However, the yard, which was once quiet, is a little noisy today. There is a carriage and a few camels parked at the door, and several merchants in Chinese clothes are gathering at the door and a few guards guarding the door. I don’t know what they are saying.

Chen Xu frowned and ordered the carriage to speed up, and soon arrived at the gate of the yard. When a group of Hu merchants saw it, they were all so scared that they dispersed and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to leave.

Everyone knows the luxurious carriage that comes in front of him. Even those of the Western Regions who come from thousands of miles away know that there are two people in Xianyang that cannot be messed with at all, one is the First Emperor and the other is the Hou of Qinghe.

The First Emperor is a little better. He lives in the palace in the past, but you can't mess with him even if you want to. Even if you go out to patrol the palace, thousands of imperial guards will rush to the front and back. If you dare to look at him more in the crowd, you may be chopped into a dead dog by the imperial guards with their plans.

Therefore, when you come to Xianyang, the one you need to be most careful about is Qinghe Hou.

I heard that this young marquis, the left prime minister and Shangqing of the dynasty, was an immortal disciple who was inherited from the gods. He possessed the magic of calling wind, rain, and controlling thunder and lightning. He was not a human being at all. However, I also heard that the marquis of Qinghe was easy-going and treated the Qin people equally. He was a noble person who was very yearning for acquaintance. However, it was not easy for ordinary people to see the marquis, because I heard that this marquis was very lazy and didn't like to go to court very much on weekdays, and his favorite hiding at home to grow vegetables and cook with his wife.

Chen Xu frowned and got out of the car, looking at the group of people lying on the ground. Although they were dressed in luxurious Central Plains clothing, their faces and hairstyles were obviously not serious Central Plains people, and their voices and greetings were also extremely crappy. This was obviously a group of Hu people.

"What happened?" Chen Xu's face looked a little ugly.

She was hiding a sweetheart in the golden house and left her sister-in-law alone in this courtyard. First, she was busy with work on weekdays, and like Fan Caiying at the time, it was very troublesome to come and go to Qinghe Villa. Second, she also felt that her status was low and her temper was a little lonely and cold. She was not sociable with Shui Qingrou Meng Wanying Shiman and others. Moreover, she was unwilling to face Chen Xu with her sister, but she still had a grudge in her heart.

With Fan Caiwei like this, Chen Xu naturally had her living outside alone. In fact, this was good, just like Fan Caiying lived outside alone. Chen Xu could occasionally come and taste a few bites of food alone, so as not to face a group of wives at home every day, and he was cautious in taking care of everyone's emotions when he flirted with the brand. After all, if he was too fond of this, he would inevitably neglect the other few. He felt that he should treat a group of women equally. Although the servants and outsiders of the Marquis's Mansion should not be like this, Chen Xu himself must grasp this degree to ensure family harmony.

But Chen Xu was actually a little worried about putting Fan Caiwei alone outside. He was not afraid that she would cuckold herself, but mainly because of safety issues. Therefore, Chen Xu specially arranged several guards from the Marquis' Mansion in this small courtyard.

"Report to the Marquis, these Hu Shangs from the Western Regions want to pay homage to their wife, but the wife just passed the message and didn't want to see them, so these people stayed here and begged!" A guard quickly said with his fists.

"Why are you gathering here to harass my wife? Didn't you know that this is the property of my Marquis' Mansion?" Chen Xu turned to look at the group of people kneeling on the ground.

"Mr. Marquis, I just want to discuss some business matters with my wife!" Several merchants were so scared that their faces were pale and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept explaining and begging for mercy in their bad Central Plains words.

"This is only once, I won't be an example. Since my wife doesn't see you, she won't leave quickly, otherwise I will send you to the Lieutenant's Mansion!" Chen Xu waved his sleeves and walked into the door.

"Thank you for your forgiveness!" A group of people trembled and got up. Before they could wipe away the sweat on their faces, they quickly climbed onto the carriage and camels and left in the desert.

"Mr. Marquis, these Hu merchants are getting more and more courageous!" The guard leader followed and said dissatisfiedly.

"Xianyang is so prosperous, it is reasonable for these Hu merchants to come and cling to our Hou Mansion business. Let the guards be slightly better in the future!" Chen Xu said while walking.

The head of the guard smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Mr. Marquis, you are so kind to these Hu people. If it weren't for your advice, why would these Hu people dare to linger in front of the fifth lady's house? Judging from the subordinates, our attitude in the future should be like other princes and princes and ministers, and we should just be beaten away if we don't want to see him!"

"It's a guest from afar, why bother to do this? No!" Chen Xu shook his head and walked into the yard quickly. He saw a stunning woman wearing a goose yellow dress and long hair draped over her shoulders hurried out with a comb, followed by two maids.

"Caiwei pays homage to the Marquis!" Fan Caiwei bowed down, and Chen Xu hugged her in his arms and said, "It's not dark yet, why are you washing up?"

"I guessed that the Marquis might come today, so I specially took a shower and changed clothes to welcome the Marquis!" Fan Caiying said softly with blushing on her cheeks.

"Hey, how do you know that this marquis is back today? Could it be that you also understand the art of deducing the secrets?" Chen Xu quietly landed on Fan Caiwei's perky buttocks and stopped.

"It was Sister Shui who arranged for the servant to tell me today!" Fan Caiwei felt the teasing of the big hand, and her body was sore and leaned against Chen Xu's arms and hummed shyly.

So that's it, Chen Xu immediately understood.

I didn't go home for the night yesterday, Shui Qingrou guessed that she might come to visit Fan Caiwei today, so she specifically notified Fan Caiwei to wait for her at home.

Chen Xu was very moved. Among these women, only Shui Qingrou knew her very well, and in the entire Marquis' mansion, only Shui Qingrou could think independently. Ying Shiman and Meng Wan basically took their own will as the direction and lived in a standard attitude of following the husband and wife. Chen Xu was good, they were good, but Chen Xu was bad, they probably would only cry. Of course, Fan Caiying was also a woman who could think independently, but the nature and direction of thinking were different from Shui Qingrou. Her goal was 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 in the middle. After a desperate battle with Huangshi Gong, the little bit of the thoughts of the girl she had in her heart were completely abandoned and buried by her. From then on, she had to fulfill her promise day and night. Therefore, she stayed in the Hou Mansion all day long to carefully arrange Chen Xu's daily life, sorted out manuscripts for him, copied all kinds of manuscripts that he couldn't understand, and of course there were also stories and even words that Chen Xu told on weekdays. Now, in the study, there are more than ten boxes of manuscripts written by Shui Qingrou. Chen Xu had read some of them. Although he found it very funny, he was very moved by Shui Qingrou's strict and serious attitude.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of disciples in China to organize manuscripts for teachers.

The theories of various schools of thought that are circulated today are compiled and revised by generations of disciples of hundreds of schools over the past few hundred years. Chen Xu founded the Academy of Literature, Bookstore and Press, which completely turned this cultural activity that was purely inherited from the people into an official activity, using the power of the country to carry forward and inherit the various theories of the Chinese sages so that the Chinese civilization can develop more colorfully.

Shui Qingrou once said that she wanted to be Chen Xu's most loyal disciple, record every detail of Chen Xu's life, and gather and publish a great work in the future to pass on it.

Of course, Chen Xu could only express his support for Shui Qingrou's ideas and practices.
