"Mr. Marquis, someone has sent a letter outside!"

At noon, Chen Xu, who had returned from the inspection of the Agricultural College, arrived home and was washing and changing clothes to prepare for dinner. The guard suddenly hurried to send a letter.

"Who sent it?" Chen Xu took it for no reason and asked while opening it.

"Return to the Marquis, the sender didn't say anything, you can tell at a glance!" The doorman replied carefully.

Chen Xu didn't care either, so he opened the letter quickly. He just glanced at it and twitched his face and ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Qinghe Garden!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The manager didn't dare to ask, and quickly left and ordered the carriage to prepare. The coachman and guard who had just returned to the mansion to rest had to quickly pack up their clothes and quickly escort Chen Xu out of the mansion.

Qinghe Garden is now full of cars and horses. In addition to the Qinghe Theater being quite lively, the old courtyard looks a bit dilapidated. Even the plaque of Qinghe Garden hanging at the gate is now stingy, and it is completely gone. The domineering feeling that was amazing when the park was opened.

Today, even Chen Xu is too lazy to come to Qinghe Park, and his construction, facilities, or scale are somewhat unable to keep up with the times.

The carriage drove into Quyuan, and when he saw his marquis coming to Quyuan for the first time, the entire Qinghe Garden was sensational. From the supervisor Huangfuque to the servants who were washing dishes and sweeping the floor, they all ran out to greet him in surprise and excitement.

"Mr. Marquis, I thought you had forgotten us?" Huangfu Que was like a young woman who had been neglected by his husband for several months. His eyes were filled with resentment when he looked at Chen Xu.

Looking at the sad eyes of the middle-aged uncle with a large beard, Chen Xu couldn't help but tremble slightly when he got off the car, "How could I forget my marquis's property? It's just that I'm too busy, let alone that I'll leave such a good garden to you for management. Look... look..."

Chen Xu walked around and pointed his fingers in a scattered manner, saying righteously: "What is your way to be in the world's No. 1 garden, the temple of the food world, and the soul of the Quyuan world, now you have been governed by you, how many guests can't even see?"

Huangfu Que almost cried, and followed up and grabbed Chen Xu's arm tightly, looking like a miserable lady who had no guests in his ninth lifetime. "Mr. Marquis, Qinghe Garden's business is not good, so you can't blame me!"

"Don't you blame me?" Chen Xu rolled his eyes.

"Of course... can't blame the Marquis?" Huangfu Que suddenly became unconscious. If he dared to rely on the Marquis Qinghe, he would be ordered by the Marquis to be pulled out and chopped and fed the dog.

"I'll talk about Qinghe Park later. Quickly prepare a banquet. A distinguished guest is coming!" Chen Xu had something to do now, so he was too lazy to continue talking about this topic. He walked to the gate of Xuri Dongsheng Pavilion and ordered Huangfu Que to prepare quickly.

Because the Marquis suddenly came to Qinghe Park, all the employees felt as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They prepared tea and snacks back and forth, heated the kang and lit the charcoal furnace, and were busy in and out. Soon, the Sun Dongsheng Pavilion, which had not flowed through the air for a long time, was filled with popularity and laughter. The maids kept shuttled back and forth, and occasionally they would laugh and fight in the yard and corridor for a few times.

“Time flies so fast!”

Sitting on the warm couch and watching two young and beautiful tea girls kneeling on the ground and busy cooking water and tea, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

When the park was opened, the two little tea girls who Huangfu Que carefully selected for him were now married and married two young and promising managers in the garden. They had become maids in Qinghe Garden. Today, when he heard that the Marquis came to treat guests to a banquet, they all came to serve together and personally cooked water and cooked tea for the Marquis.

"Mr. Marquis, please have tea!" After the tea was boiled, a tea girl served fragrant tea with both hands.

"Yeah!" Chen Xu took the teacup, took a closer look and couldn't help but nodded, "You both are in charge, so you don't have to do these things in person in the future. Let the newly recruited tea girl serve you!"

"The Marquis has been coming for a long time, and I cannot serve the Marquis often. The newly recruited tea girl is afraid that she will not do it well!" Another tea girl said quickly.

"Well, let's follow you, it's hard for you for so many years!"

Chen Xu didn't care too much about it. This is the case in today's times. Some things should be done by servants, and they take it for granted. If you don't let them do it, it is actually a disrespect for them. It feels like being disliked by their masters. From the bottom of their hearts, it will make them panic and uneasy.

The layout of the room is as usual, no different from seven or eight years ago, but the only change is that it is much old.

The wood on the wall is already mottled. Whether it is the hanging calligraphy, painting, piano, pipa, warm kang, coffee table screen, or even the bright glass tiles on the roof, they are all yellow and old. From the bright light columns that are transmitting in, smoke and dust are slightly churning. The whole room looks like it has been through countless years, and time has solidified in this instant.

"It's indeed the old one is not good!" Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh in a faint sigh as the fragrance of tea swayed.

In fact, Chen Xu rarely came to Qinghe Park in the past year. Since planning the courtesan competition in the beginning of spring, Qinghe Park has also been neglected. It’s not that Chen Xu doesn’t want to care, but that he doesn’t have much energy.

In terms of making money, Qinghe Park's monthly income of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan is completely optional for him. Even if it is redecorated, Qinghe Park's business will not be much better.

First, because there are too many Quyuan restaurants in Xianyang today, it diverted a large number of guests. Many princes and princes and ministers have their own restaurant industries. Some people are distributing various discounted cash cards to their civil and military colleagues in court. Chen Xu received a large stack of vvvvvip cards. As long as he is willing, he will not spend money to take one out for dinner.

Second, the Qinghe Park is too small, only 50 acres, and there is no room for expansion to continue, unless a ten-story and eight-story building is completely demolished and rebuilt, but Chen Xu also feels that this will destroy the appearance of the entire Xianyang ancient city, and not to mention that the private building construction cannot exceed the Xianyang Palace, which is suspected of disrespect for the First Emperor.

With the plan to plan a smooth road, I went out for half a year to inspect. The year was almost over in a flash. Chen Xu didn't have the energy to manage such a small business, so the matter of planning to renovate and expand was delayed.

However, today it seems that Qinghe Park has indeed reached a point where it is about to change. Not only is the decoration and facilities outdated, but continuing this will make the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion look dull. Even Huangfu Que and the servants under the stewards are a little wronged and can't raise their heads when they go out.

As the boss behind the scenes, Chen Xu naturally cannot ignore him.

While drinking tea, Chen Xu thought about how to change Qinghe Garden.

The two tea girls knelt on the ground and didn't dare to disturb them, but their beautiful eyes fell on Chen Xu and didn't want to move them away. Their eyes were full of gratitude, and there was a hint of shyness and confusion.

Several years have passed, and the 15 or 16-year-old young marquis has now grown into the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the emperor's grand tutor. He has a great power and has never changed his attitude to them. He is as gentle as ever. He even personally asked about their marriage three years ago, redeeming slaves for all the servants of Qingheyuan, and becoming innocent civilians. Not only does he marry and have children, he still works in Qingheyuan and receives considerable salary every month. Although the business in Qingheyuan is getting colder and quieter, their salary is getting higher and higher.

However, this superior job and treatment made them feel more and more guilty. Seeing the business in Qinghe Garden becoming colder and colder day by day, everyone felt heartbroken and helpless, and even the manager was crying in private.

However, Chen Xu never paid attention to all this, nor even cared about the expressions of the two tea girls. Instead, he slowly fell into deep thought with the teacup.

In the outside restaurant, chefs and maids were in and out, packing the round table and arranging wine, and soon a strong smell filled the room.

"Mr. Marquis, the Censor-in-Censor-Meng has arrived!" A guard came in to report!

"Oh, please come in quickly!" Chen Xu woke up from his thoughts, put down his teacup and stood up to greet him. Soon, with the familiar footsteps, he saw Meng Yi wearing a bearskin cloak and a bearskin hat following the maid in like a black bear.

"The son-in-law has met his father-in-law!" Chen Xu bowed with a smile on his face.

"No gifts, sit down!" Meng Yi didn't be polite to Chen Xu, took off his coat and took off his hat and handed it to the tea girl. He sat on the warm kang and took the tea handed over by another servant girl.

At this time, it was not in the court or in official business exchanges. Meeting as a father-in-law and son-in-law, naturally, he was thrown into Java as a polite person.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "You go out first, I have something to say with Dr. Meng!"

"Yes!" The two servants stood up and bowed and left the room. Looking at the two tea girls' tailored dresses, Meng Yi licked his mouth with shiny eyes, "I haven't been here for a few years, the two little tea girls have grown so big, but they look different. The waist and hips make me feel hot..."

Chen Xu's face turned dark in an instant. He glanced at Meng Yi and said while drinking tea: "Why does your father-in-law have the time to ask your son-in-law to treat you to a meal today?"

Meng Yi's face became serious when he heard this. He put down the teacup and looked at the door and shook his head. Let's talk about this later. Some things have exceeded my control. The situation is probably getting more and more difficult!"

Chen Xu nodded slightly, and guessed that Meng Yi might have encountered something extremely difficult to control, otherwise he would not have deliberately concealed his journey and came to Qinghe Garden to discuss things.

Because the food was not ready, the two began to drink tea and exchange some recent events in the newspapers and courts, from the Tantu Plan to the return of Li Shun's mission and the attitude of the First Emperor towards Asia. Half an hour passed, Huangfu Que came in and reported that the banquet was ready, so the two went to the restaurant outside, and at the same time, they drank all the maids and servants, ordered the guards to surround the attic, and were thirty feet away to guard against all personnel.
