Two years, or three years, are not important for Xu Qilin.

The so-called bitter cold does not exist now. Although the wind is stronger, he is not a woman, so he still needs a fair and delicate face.

Scarlett and Ajiani are different. They wear hoods when they go out, and when they are free, they put melon peels on their faces and apply milk to their skin, paying considerable attention to skin care.

This also found Xu Qilin a way to make money. After the experiment, he sent the secret recipe to the Xu family workshop. Soon, skin care cream was launched on the market.

Xu Family Workshop has been able to make shower gel and soap for a long time. Xu Qilin just added the process, used stearic acid and glycerin in it, and mixed it with spices, milk, etc. to make a copycat version.

But in Ganzhou and even in the Western Regions, due to strong winds and sand and dry climates, this product that can moisturize and protect skin was immediately very popular.

In fact, in addition to the materials provided by the state such as mirrors, silk, tea, porcelain, etc., the fragrance and toiletries of the Xujia Workshop were exported goods that Hu merchants favored as early as in Chang'an.

Therefore, Xu Qilin's wealth continued to rise, and he was a standard rich man. However, he never showed off his luxury house, singular genius, or luxurious banquets.

It is precisely because his own industry has been a long-term gold medal, Xu Qilin never reaches out for public expenses. This may be an example of "rich and conscience". There is no need to embezzle and accept bribes!

Of course, being low-key is not frugal. Xu Qilin does not seek luxury, but must be comfortable.

Isn’t it just to enjoy it when traveling to the Tang Dynasty?

The appearance of wearing gold and silver is for outsiders to see, and the kind of local buns blooming is too shallow; what Xu Qilin wants is inner self, and he doesn't have to show off his wealth to others and has no taste.

There are two days left before the New Year, and according to the court's regulations, you can take official leave. Xu Qilin led two maids to visit the commercial area for most of the day, eating, drinking, buying and playing, and only returned to the mansion in the city when it was almost dusk.

"Alang, there is a visitor from Chang'an." The housekeeper came up to report, his face a little strange. "I stayed in the hall for an afternoon, ate and drank, and asked the servants to arrange a residence for him."

Oh, who has such a big face, but he is not at all visible.

Xu Qilin waved his hand, stepped into the mansion, and went straight to see the big-faced man.

At the entrance of the hall, Xu Qilin heard the snoring inside and almost thought that it was a pig. He was eating and drinking, and then he fell asleep again.

After rolling his eyes, Xu Qilin pushed the door and smelled of alcohol. He looked at the table again, and the cup and plate were in a mess. A guy was lying there on the sofa, sleeping soundly.

After getting closer and looking carefully, Xu Qilin pursed his lips helplessly. Isn’t this a fool of the cuckold king’s house? Why did he come to Ganzhou?

"Hey—hey—" Xu Qilin reached out and pushed it twice. Fang Er's fool sniffed, humming twice, but didn't wake up.

Xu Qilin increased his strength and patted Fang Er's face with the back of his hand. Just like that, the two fools still slept.

There was no more tricks, Xu Qilin turned around and asked the servant to come into the house to clean up the cups and plates, leaving Fang Er to continue snoring, and he went back to the study.

Feng Zhidai is really a problem, but Xu Qilin couldn't figure out why Fang Er ran to Ganzhou. Fortunately, Fang Er was still carrying two servants and was called by Xu Qilin to ask.

But these two servants had similar virtues to Fang Er, and they didn't know what disease Fang Er had suffered. Suddenly, they ran away from home in a hurry. After leaving Chang'an, they ran all the way.

"Go down!" Xu Qilin waved his hand and waved his hands away, but simply didn't bother to think about it. Let's wait for Fang Er to wake up!

From the bottom of my heart, Xu Qilin was resistant to cheating people such as Fang Er, Du He, Chai Lingwu, and adopted a strategy of staying away from him.

But the ones who really had conflicts were only Du He and Chai Lingwu, and Du He even formed a grudge.

As for Fang Er, because he is of the same age, he is still a good friend on the surface, just like those young men who are ready for Qianniu.

But Fang Er may be real. After being stunned by Xu Qilin twice during the competition, he felt like he was sympathetic and always came to Xu Qilin's side.

Xu Qilin is not easy to keep people from thousands of miles away. Fortunately, he has a lot of work and is busy, so he is not too obsessed with Fang Er.

This guy misses himself and comes to spend the New Year with him? If this is the case, he will be a little touched!

Xu Qilin smiled and shook his head, probably because he was thinking too much. This fool in the room probably caused trouble for him.

When it was dinner, Xu Qilin had a meal with Feng Zhidai in the side hall.

If there were no outsiders, he actually prefers to be with two maids. One on the left and one on the right, this one is for food and the other is for food, which is a pleasant feeling.

"There is a reply from the court." Xu Qilin did not forget to comfort Feng Zhidai, "Let's have a safe New Year, and it's just a matter of accompanying this stranger."

Feng Zhidae smiled a little reluctantly, raised his glass to greet each other, and said, "Qi Lin is kind, I can't thank you all. If you have the opportunity to go to Lingnan, the Feng family will definitely treat you with guests."

"Lingnan--" Xu Qilin nodded with a smile and said, "That's definitely going. The Feng family will definitely disturb you."

"What a mess, it's so obvious." Feng Zhidai waved his hand and said, "I bought some local products in the commercial area today and prepared to send them to Lingnan so that my family can also taste fresh."

Xu Qilin deliberately said angrily: "Why do you need Brother Feng to buy the local products given to Brother Feng's family? I have already ordered someone to prepare them. Brother Feng will go and return the local products tomorrow. If you mention my name, who dares not return?"

Feng Zhidai smiled and refused. Although he knew it was polite, he was so kind that he was much stronger than the powerful people in Chang'an who only thought he was a boy with money. He was not welcomed by just accepting gifts, but he was much better.

"You don't even call me a single sound when they were talking, but a loud voice sounded. As soon as the door opened, Fang Er walked in rubbing his eyes.

Xu Qilin stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Jun slept soundly, and he pushed and slapped him, but he ignored him."

Fang Er scratched the hair of the tent, and he didn't remember this at all. He thought he was sleeping too well.

He looked up at Xu Qilin, smiled on his big face, and bowed, "Qi Lin, come here to accompany you for the New Year for me. Is this brotherly love deep enough?"

"It's deeper than the sea and thicker than the ground." Xu Qilin smiled and respected her, and reached out to introduce Feng Zhidai to Fang Er.

"Brother Feng is here to accompany Qi Lin for the New Year?" Fang Er widened his eyes curiously and said, "It's great, it's even earlier than someone."

Feng Zhidai smiled and said, "I am not as anxious as Brother Fang, I am ashamed."

Xu Qilin ordered his servants to set up bowls, chopsticks, set up chairs, invite the two of them to sit down, and ask a few more dishes in the kitchen. The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"This is to miss Qi Lin and accompany you to celebrate the New Year." When asked about his purpose, Fang Er said, "Second, we will attack Gaochang next year and the army will pass through Ganzhou. I was also thinking about whether we could get involved and see the battle scenes."

Xu Qilin looked at Fang Er's expression and felt that there should be other reasons, but it was not easy to get to the bottom of it. He said casually: "Brother Jun is also an official. Without the imperial edict, it is probably difficult to walk in the army."

Fang Er smiled and said, "Don't hide it from me, aren't you following the army's observation commander? What's the difficulty of bringing your brother with you?"

This guy knows a lot.

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "It's easy to bring Brother Jun with him, but if something happens, it's hard to explain the situation where the Fang Xiang is."

"What can happen?" Fang Er said disrespectfully: "Isn't it okay if I honestly look down on you?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I will talk about this later. Anyway, it will take several months for the army to arrive."

"But don't send a message to Chang'an!" Fang Er glared at his big eyes and reminded Xu Qilin, "I will notify my family after a few days."

Xu Qilin nodded, but did not take Fang Er's reminder seriously. It would be better if someone came early and took this guy away!

Fang Er did not tell the truth, at least he concealed the fact that he wanted to marry the princess. This news was also eavesdropped on by his father and mother, and it was also the main reason why he suddenly ran away from home and ran to Ganzhou.

As for what he wanted to accompany Xu Qilin for the New Year and his experience with the army next year, they were all excuses he came up with on the road. Not to mention, it was quite like that.

After drinking and eating, Xu Qilin asked his servant to take the half-intoxicated room to rest. He ran all the way and didn't bring much money on him. This guy really suffered a little.

After chatting with Feng Zhidai for a while, the two of them also got up and went back to their rooms to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Xu Qilin took out his money and sent someone to take Fang Er to buy some items he deserved.

But Feng Zhidai took the initiative to take over the mission, and even Xu Qilin's money was not needed. Fang Xiang's second son, Feng Zhidai was planning to make friends.

Xu Qilin was not pretentious, and was so happy that Feng Zhidai's enthusiasm left a good impression on Fang Er.

It is not easy to say that Feng Zhidai is. His father is high and the emperor is far away. He stays in Chang'an and is equivalent to a proton. He has to spend money everywhere to make good relationships to prevent the Feng family from being rumored and framed.

After all, Guangzhou is too far from Chang'an, and the news is slow. There was an interruption before, and some court officials said that the Feng family had rebelled and the court almost dispatched a large army to attack.

Xu Qilin understands it very well, spending money to buy peace, anyway, the Feng family has money.

I stayed in the mansion until the afternoon, and Chang'an's decree was finally delivered. It was calculated by time and was also a quick delivery.

After reading the edict, Xu Qilin finally calmed down. As expected, His Majesty Li Er agreed to the report of the Feng family planting cotton and participating in cotton spinning. The Maritime Bureau will also establish it in Guangzhou after the Feng family reports again.

When Feng Zhidai comes back, he can tell him the good news and let him spend the New Year calmly and return to Chang'an.

Xu Qilin put down his edict and received another letter. Who else can ride with His Majesty Li Er's edict besides Princess Jinyang?

Looking at the letter, Xu Qilin couldn't help but laugh. Although he was still a child, the growth of Xiao Gongju could be seen from the lines.

In other words, Xiao Gongju's literary talent has improved, his characters are better, and his words are more smooth and his sentences are more smooth.

More importantly, it is fun, and there are fewer delicious foods, more people care about my uncle's health.

Xu Qilin thought about it and wrote a letter. Anyway, he couldn't send it back before the New Year, so he was not in a hurry.

Before the letter was finished, a servant outside came back to report that Feng Zhidai and Fang Jun would not go back to their home tonight and wanted to have fun in the commercial area outside the city.

Cut! Needless to say, these two guys must have the fun project of Mian Hua Suliu.

Xu Qilin expressed contempt for this, believing that it was Feng Zhidai's idea. Fang Er's fool also took advantage of the fact that no one was taking care of him and wanted to let himself go completely.

Damn, in three years, I will make my mother unable to help her.

Xu Qilin complained in his heart, and simply stopped writing the letter and ran to the back garden to tease the Harrier Eagle.

…………………

"Fang Jun ran away from home and disappeared?"

His Majesty Li Er frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling who was bowing and panic in disbelief.

If it were normal, let alone Fang Jun, even if the prince and princess were temporarily lost contact, His Majesty Li Er would not care about it, and most likely wouldn't know.

But I just told Lao Fang about Princess Shang, and Lao Fang agreed with gratitude. But in a blink of an eye, the future prince consort ran away. Why is it such a coincidence?

Fang Xuanling complained secretly, if Fang Er was in front of him, he would have to be beaten to death at least.

After swallowing, Lao Fang continued to explain: "This rebellious son may run outside the city to play and cannot return for a while. The minister has sent people around to inquire, and he will definitely be able to find him back."

"Xuanling doesn't have to worry. Young people are having fun, and they can come back late." His Majesty Li Er took a breath and said, "I also sent someone to the city gate to inquire, maybe I can get his exact whereabouts."
