Chapter 315

When he was in Ganzhou, Xu Qilin also had letters with his family and Yizi. However, after meeting, he realized that Yizi seemed to have grown up.

Xu Hui also noticed something abnormal, but the little girls didn't see it while playing together. Now, Yizi's speech and behavior have become a little mature and steady.

Although I found it strange, Xu Qilin and Xu Hui didn't take it seriously. The four of them sat in the pavilion and chatted, which was harmonious and casual.

"My uncle, my sister and I are going to ask my father to stay with Xiao Zhao for a few days." Xincheng had this idea for a long time, but it has not been done in several years.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "That's good. In fact, the wild scenery in the mountains is just that. If you see it, you will feel boring and cannot catch up with the royal garden."

Yizi raised her eyebrows and said, "You used to say that the wild scenery in the mountains and villages are natural and elegant, without any artificiality!"

Hey, Xu Qilin scratched his head. This little girl remembers it very clearly. It has been several years since she has almost forgotten it. The reason why she belittled her villa is that she thinks that His Majesty Li Er will not agree, so she should not let the imperial edict worry too much.

Seeing his younger brother speechless, Xu Hui couldn't help but smile and said, "Whether the scenery is natural or carved, it's good to look beautiful or comfortable. Isn't the villa also surrounding the lake and building bridges, building pavilions and planting bamboo, so how can there be no traces of carving?"

Xu Qilin nodded with a chuckling and looked at Yizi meaningfully.

Yizi pursed the corner of her lips, changed the topic, and asked, "A Ke's eyes are ready. When will I enter the palace, Xincheng and I miss her very much."

Xu Qilin said: "When I tell her, if she wants, let Xiao Zhao lead her."

Xu Hui nodded and said, "I heard that her eyes are getting better, and I am very happy. She is a good girl, and this is the blessing of God."

You don’t know that A Ke is no longer the original A Ke. The change in temper may surprise you.

Xu Qilin didn't know if Xiaoye was willing to enter the palace, and he didn't say anything to death.

But Yizi heard the perfunctory intention and couldn't help but ask, "A Ke doesn't want to enter the palace, or do you still don't want to see me and Xincheng?"

Xu Qilin felt that Yizi's thinking today was very quick, not as simple as a few years ago. After thinking for a while, he said, "A Ke is a civilian girl, maybe she is afraid of the royal family, right?"

Yizi felt that this statement was acceptable. Although the palace was magnificent, it was full of depression for ordinary people. There were many rules, so you had to be careful when entering the palace.

"Xiao Zhao bought a yard, arranged it according to his wishes, and invited us to visit." Weizi said: "If A Ke doesn't want to enter the palace, it will be the same when we go out to see her."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "It's not too late to settle down after I asked her."

Yizi smiled and said, "You still respect others so much, even ordinary people."

"Isn't this good?" Xu Qilin said: "Everyone is equal, and no one is noble and humble. This is how my family teacher teaches me."

"Equal all beings?!" Xu Hui smiled and said, "This seems to be a Buddhist saying?"

Yizi blinked her eyes and couldn't help but laugh and said, "As soon as I talked about Buddhism, I remembered the famous saying "Who is a true monk everywhere?"

Xu Qilin laughed, and then he found that Yizi was smiling and peeking at him, as if he was a little shy. Could it be that he remembered the incident that was choked?

Although he was talking and laughing, Xu Qilin found that it was different from several years ago.

At that time, Yizi and Xincheng were both children and were very close to him. Now, it seems that there is a sense of estrangement. Xincheng is almost there, and Yizi gives him a particularly strong feeling.

When he said goodbye and left the palace, Xu Qilin was still thinking, but couldn't figure it out.

………………………….

Xiao Zhao knew that she had not taken leave and was a little depressed. Xu Qilin persuaded her for a while, and then she reluctantly accepted it.

Immediately afterwards, the palace sent someone to pass the imperial edict, but it was Ma Da Secret who came in person.

"Qi Lin is already a marquis, and the speed of promotion is rare." After the order was issued, Ma Da sat down casually and talked to Xu Qilin. "But this is earned by real achievements, and no one can convince him."

Marquis of Great Wall County! Haha, Your Majesty is still thinking about this and keeps the name of Great Wall for himself!

Xu Qilin was happy, but he didn't force himself to be reserved. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I feel guilty of accepting it, but I feel guilty of accepting it!"

Ma Da Secret waved his hand and said, "I deserve it, Qi Lin doesn't need to be humble." After pausing, he continued, "I have already talked with His Majesty, I guess I have made arrangements?"

Xu Qilin said: "I'm afraid I won't be released this year. I will go to Xin'an to provide guidance first, and then sort out the work of Dayingku. I may go to the coast to take a look, but I will come back if I can't stay for too long."

"It's great to go out!" Ma Da said earnestly: "Xin'an is in Luozhou, it's not bad."

Xu Qilin smiled faintly, knowing that Ma Dami was reminding himself in disguise that the capital was not peaceful and there would be less trouble outside.

Ma Dami pointed out until he knew that Xu Qilin was a smart person, so he changed the subject and asked about other things.

During the conversation, Xu Qilin seemed to have accidentally moved to Tubo, "I heard that Your Majesty has allowed Tubo's proposal?"

Ma Dami nodded and said, "It has been decided to give marriage to a royal family girl." Then, he asked back, "Why, Qi Lin has other opinions?"

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "I don't dare to have any opinions, but I have been in Hexi for many years and know more about Tubo. I think the court should be vigilant and guard against Tubo. Because in the long run, Tubo may become a strong enemy of our Tang Dynasty."

Ma Dami stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "If Qi Lin had such concerns, he might as well report to Your Majesty. The ministers in the court were indeed not very familiar with the situation in Tubo."

After pausing, he reminded again: "Just discussing geography, humanities and other situations, as well as interests in Hexi, and not involving marriage granting, Qi Lin should know this."

After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Qilin understood Ma Dami's guidance. He couldn't help but nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, Brother Ma, for your advice. I suddenly understood!"

Ma Dami laughed, "Qi Lin is still so funny!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said to Xu Qilin: "I haven't seen you for several years, but I can't trust others. I'll ask Qi Lin to take your pulse for you."

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I haven't had a pulse with anyone for many years. Fortunately, the professor who is a teacher at home dares not forget it."

Zhao Hun's upper body, Xu Qilin immediately became calm and solemn, taking his pulse on his hands and his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he really looked like a talisman.

After a while, Xu Qilin let go of his hand and said slowly: "Although Brother Ma's diabetes is not cured or eradicated, it's okay to pay more attention to diet and add a little medication to regulate it."

Ma Dami nodded and said, "I have been conditioning the prescription given by Qi Lin, and I feel that I am better at controlling it."

Xu Qilin said: "I will change the prescription for Brother Ma again. You must know that the disease has changed and the medicine has also changed."

After pausing, Xu Qilin said again: "I asked the family teacher and he said that mulberry yellow is very effective for diabetes, but it is very rare."

"What is mulberry yellow?" Ma Dami has never heard of this medicine name.

Xu Qilin explained: "Mulberry yellow is a fungal substance that grows on mulberry trees, and it is very rare. Some people have been asked by Dayingku to search everywhere. Now there are not many in your hands. Brother Ma takes them to drink them. Let's see how the effect is?"

"Lao Qilin is worried about it, and I am grateful." Ma Dami bowed with gratitude.

Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand, got up and took the mulberry yellow, and told Ma Da Secret how to take it. Ma Da Secret thanked again and again.

The two of them had a simple meal at the mansion. The two talked very well. The master also seemed to reveal some news unintentionally, which benefited Xu Qilin a lot.

After sending off the secret of Ma, Xu Qilin went to find A Ke again.

A Ke lived in Mrs. Zheng's house for two days before returning to the Xu family's house. Although she was not a maid, she lived very comfortably.

Xu Qilin told her about entering the palace, but Xiaoye refused on the spot, so she refused to salute this person and say hello to him!

But the next day, she found Xu Qilin again and said she was willing to enter the palace. She didn't know if it was Daya's idea or the result of discussing with A Ke.

The news of Xu Qilin returning to Beijing spread, and his friends and friends naturally took the opportunity to get together to eat, drink and have fun. After two consecutive days, Xu Qilin ended the social engagement.

After all the work arrangements were completed, Xu Qilin went to Zhuangzi to inspect his workshop.

After not returning for several years, Zhuangzi has undergone great changes. When it is far away, you can see from the cotton planted in the ground. When it is getting closer and closer to Zhuangzi, you can see it more and more clearly.

Many houses have been transformed into brick and tile structures, and the streets are clean and tidy, which shows that the living standards of the housekeepers have greatly improved.

There are only Xu and Chen villages in Guanzhong that are allowed to grow cotton. In the name of experimental fields, the government will give away grain in full. The farmers' households will ensure income from drought and flood, which is equivalent to bringing iron rice bowls.

Coupled with the recruitment of workshops and the development of diversified operations, it is not surprising that the farmers get rich. Moreover, these are almost all the favors of Xu Qilin.

The Xu family's house has been constantly repaired in recent years. Although it is not magnificent, it is also extraordinary. Even if you don't go to the villa by the lake, there are also beauties in the house with water flowing wine and flowers and plants.

No need to think about it, this must have been decorated according to Xiao Zhao's intention.

"Alang is back! In the past three years, he has been alone..." The old butler Xu An led people to welcome him at the gate. When he saw Xu Qilin, he seemed to be so excited that he burst into tears. He wiped the corners of his eyes and even cried.

Xu Qilin laughed and helped the old housekeeper walk into the house, "Uncle Xu is tough and doesn't look old at all."

"Alang was joking." Butler Xu shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, I'm old, I can feel it."

As the two of them spoke, they entered the house. Xu Qilin went to the room to wash, while the old housekeeper sent someone to call the manager of the workshop to report on the work.

"Uncle Xu stops busy, sit down and talk for a while." Xu Qilin changed his clothes and came out to sit down. "I want to stay in the village for a few days, and I always have to walk around and take a look, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Butler Xu sat down respectfully and asked tentatively: "Dalang, his wife, and the little lady, I wonder when will he stay in this village?"

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "When the day gets hotter, even if the eldest brother is busy with official business, his sister-in-law and Xiao Yeer should come to the villa to escape the summer heat."

Butler Xu nodded, showing a look of relief. Although Xu Qiqi was quite circumspect, no matter what happened to the village, as an older generation, I still wanted to meet him when I heard that the Xu family had a queen.

Xu Qilin chatted with Butler Xu and asked about the situation in the village. It was indeed good. According to Butler Xu's description, the living standards of farmers in the village have greatly improved. At least, I can eat a few more meals a year.

Time is not long, and all the managers of the workshop have arrived. There are old people Xu Qilin knows, and newcomers whom they don’t know.

Xu Qilin smiled and met everyone one by one, but waved his hand to not ask their reports, just talked about homework, and asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and had a dinner with everyone first.

The sales of Xianglu and High-Level Wine have always been very stable, and Xianglu's profits are still abundant, mainly due to the yield. The variety has also increased, Xu Qilin knows this.

And when he comes back this time, there is actually nothing that needs great innovation. As long as the income is stable, Xu Qilin will be satisfied. After all, he can make a lot of money in terms of patent fees!

"Alang is already the marquis. You guys who are not very good at eyeballs dare to be so casual?" Butler Xu felt that the words and behaviors of these people were too casual, and perhaps let everyone know the good news and pretended to scold them.

Xu Qilin quickly waved his hand and said, "What a marquis, uncle, that's the matter of officialdom. We don't pay attention to that. We are not outsiders. Do you want to do whatever you want? Don't be too embarrassed."

Xu Bao bowed and smiled and said, "Young congratulations to the Marquis. You have to drink a few more drinks today. If you get drunk later, don't blame me."

Xu Qilin glared and pretended to scold, "I still call him Alang, and then call him Marquis, but I won't let you drink this wine."

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere relaxed again, and the conversation became more casual.

When the wine and food were served, Xu Qilin served the cup and gave it to everyone for his contribution to the workshop. Especially when he was away, he was still diligent.

After several years, from the initial construction of the workshop to the time of order, Xu Qilin was very worry-free and thanked everyone here for their work, which continued to increase wealth for the Xu family.

For everyone, they only recognize Xu Qilin as the master. Dalang has never even seen him. Not only is Xu Qilin friendly and has no airs, but he also gives them very high treatment.

All the managers here settled in Xu and Chen Zhuzi, and they were considered a top-notch wealthy family in the villages.

Therefore, everyone was grateful to Xu Qilin. The head of the family was already a marquis, so what would happen in the future? Isn’t it better to take care of him?

Xu Qilin smiled and accepted the toasts from everyone. Although he just took a sip, he gave enough face to these ordinary people based on his identity.

The time is not long, and it is already full of alcohol. Xu Qilin is not exhausted, but he is not addicted to alcohol. After drinking and eating, he asked Butler Xu and Xu Bao to accompany everyone, pretending to be excessive, and then go back to rest.
