Gu Qing actually didn't have much emotional bond with his mansion. In his eyes, this mansion was just a place to stay.

It's a house, not a home.

There are housekeepers in the house, but no relatives or lovers. He is the only master in the whole mansion. Every day, what you see is the faces of the servants and maids. In this mansion, no one dares to speak loudly to him. He frowned and the maids would kneel down to apologize.

Sometimes he even felt that Li Shierniang and Zhang Jiuzhang's mansions were more like his home. Gu Qing could feel the warmth of family affection in their mansion, so this was also the reason why Gu Qing would rather go to Li Shierniang's mansion to attend a banquet first than return to his own mansion after returning to Chang'an.

However, after seeing Butler Xu's ecstatic face, Gu Qing stood in front of the door and suddenly felt a brief moment of stunned silence.

In a house where he did not regard him as his family, some people still regard him as their family.

With the angrily shouting from the house of Mr. Xu, the door of the mansion opened, and a group of servants rushed forward to salute. Some used dusters to sweep the dust on Gu Qing's body, and some grinned dullly. The maids stood in the front yard, saluted timidly, and then rushed into the back yard to clean up the bedroom.

The moment he entered the house, Gu Qing immediately adapted to the role of being the head of the family.

Butler Xu bowed behind him, nagging while walking.

"I have been talking for three years. The Marquis finally returned home. I dare not go so far in the future. If you have a family, everything will be enough. Only when you stay at home will you be at peace. Marquis, the ginkgo trees in the front yard have grown thicker. Look, there are also peony flowers in the east yard, how many times they bloom and how many times they have passed. I haven't seen the head of the family come to appreciate the flowers after several rounds. If the flowers are spiritual, I know that the head of the family is back, and it will definitely bloom next year than in previous years..."

"In recent years, a few servants have changed at home. I took the initiative to kick out a few lazy people who work and are also diligent. Last year, a maid was not clean and stole a piece of the inkstone in the study room in the backyard to sell it for money. She was exposed by another maid in the backyard. I asked someone to beat a board and kick it out of the mansion. It was not a big deal. I didn't let the official report, for fear that it would make people laugh at me if I told him it, and it would ruin the Marquis' reputation..."

Gu Qing walked very slowly, with a smile on his face. He was feeling happy unconsciously as the butler muttered about his family's trivialities.

Staying away from the wind and sand outside the frontier, returning to Chang'an, I felt the familiar smell of fireworks on earth. This mansion is becoming more and more homely.

Butler Xu was nagging, and two figures suddenly emerged from the thorn, one fat and the other thin. Gu Qing was caught off guard and was grabbed by her sleeve.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing snot and tears pulled him. Hao Donglai cried and said, "Marty, Marquis, you are back. In the past few years when you are away, the villain has no thoughts about food and food, can't sleep at night. He always thinks about you, remembering that you eat well and dress warmly in Anxi, thousands of miles away..."

Shi Daxing wiped his tears and said, "Mr. Marquis, don't trust him. Fatty Hao eats more than anyone else after you leave. Look at his figure and he becomes fatter."

Hao Donglai's face froze, his eyes swayed, and he glared at Shi Daxing with tears in his eyes, and said sharply: "The man surnamed Shi, do you have to be in trouble with me, right?"

Shi Daxing said coldly: "I am a hypocritical villain who deceives the marquis."

Gu Qing looked at Hao Donglai with a smile, touched his chin and said, "Shopkeeper Hao seems to be a little rounder and his face is bigger..."

Hao Donglai's fat face turned red and he stammered: "Yes... it's fat, his body is ill, and his kidney yang is deficient, which leads to fat. Marquis, the villain's body is not flesh, but a disease caused by hard work and hard work on business!"

Gu Qing suddenly realized: "I have lost my kidney yang when I do business. Manager Hao really puts all his energy into it, which touched me very much..."

Before Hao Donglai could be happy, Shi Daxing next to him calmly made up for a knife.

"Maybe there is 'exercise', 'exhausted' may not be... After the Marquis left, the fat man simply moved into a brothel. There are few brothel girls in Pingkangfang, Chang'an who have never been ruined by him..."

Hao Donglai was completely angry and no longer cared about etiquette. He was like a toad that was full of food, his belly was bulging high, and then he ran towards Shi Daxing and shouted: "My surname is Shi, I'll fight with you!"

Gu Qing blinked and quickly turned around and glanced. Butler Xu stood behind him with a smile on his face and his expression remained unchanged. He was obviously used to the two shopkeepers' fierce fights. Even the people around him had a calm expression, not panic at all, and no one came up to persuade him to fight.

Gu Qing smiled. The fireworks in the world became more intense, and the smell of the world.

He left the two of them in the yard and walked into the backyard by himself. Gu Qing said as he walked: "Butler Xu, after the two guys finished fighting, they were punished to stand in the yard and hold hands for an hour, and they also had to look at each other affectionately. I'll make up for my sleep first, and wait until they hold hands and see me in the backyard."

Butler Xu responded with a smile on his face.

More than an hour later, Gu Qing walked out of the bedroom yawning.

I haven't been home for a few years, and the bedroom unexpectedly has no moldy smell. Obviously, the maid cleans it every day, and I also hang a few hollow aromatherapy copper balls inside. The smell smells very comfortable. Gu Qing hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time.

As they stretched out of the bedroom, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing stood side by side with a look of indifference. The two looked at each other inadvertently, and then they showed a disgusting expression. The holding hands and affectionate eyes just now were extremely lethal to the two.

Gu Qing called the two into the room. After they sat down, Hao Donglai was about to say something, but Gu Qing waved his hand to stop him.

"How is our trading in the past few years? Has it expanded?"

Hao Donglai showed a proud look and said with a smile: "There are our shops in the entire Guanzhong city. Shuzhou celadon has now been sought after by many powerful officials. It is unavailable. After all, it is a tribute porcelain, and it comes from the hometown of the imperial concubine. It is loved by His Majesty and the empress. The powerful officials below naturally follow the example and buy it."

Gu Qing said oh, and said, "How much profit do you make every year?"

Shi Daxing thought for a while and said, "Every year, the net profit is about 40,000 guan. If the shops are opened, various expenses are inevitably heavy. The main reason is that there are too few porcelains fired from the porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village, otherwise the profits should be far more than this number..."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "In a few years, you have expanded your shop to the entire Guanzhong. It has become very powerful and has not disappointed me..."

The two shopkeepers had just shown happy expressions, but Gu Qing suddenly smiled and said with a serious expression: "You should do what I want to say next. If you don't manage it or understand it, you must do it immediately."

The two shopkeepers were stunned and hurriedly answered.

Gu Qing said slowly: "Next, all our shops will be closed, all the shops in Chang'an will be dismissed, and all the shops in Chang'an will be closed. The whole family will not leave them. They will collect the money for selling the shops as soon as possible."

The two shopkeepers widened their eyes and were stunned for a long time. Hao Donglai shivered all over his body and said angrily: "Mr. Marquis, why do you stop doing a good business?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Because the world is about to be in chaos, if our shops continue to open, they will be burned out soon and they will lose all their money. We must stop quickly before the situation is in chaos, and we can recover some of the losses..."

The two shopkeepers were stunned: "The world is in chaos? Why did the marquis say this?"

Gu Qing said coldly: "There is a top secret matter. No one is allowed to tell me if you leave this house, otherwise you will die... An Lushan from Fan Yang will soon rebel. He has 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands. Once he raises up, it will sweep the world. Do you think I should sell my shop?"

The two shopkeepers were shocked: "An Lushan rebels?"

Gu Qing sighed, "You know that An Lushan has an irreconcilable grudge with me. If he revolts, no matter which city he attacks, if he knows that there is a shop under my name in the city, what will happen to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper? Hurry up and end the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are saving their lives. Do you understand?"

Hao Donglai said naively: "Will it also... include Chang'an? Will An Lushan enter Chang'an City?"

Gu Qing was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Yes."

All three of them fell silent. After a long time, Shi Daxing said sadly: "Will the glorious era collapse in one day? Where can the world be safe?"

Gu Qing whispered: "Go to Shuzhong and return to Qingcheng County. According to my guess, the rebels should not be able to attack Shuzhong, and there is a temporary safety."

"Don't tell them the reason when dismissing the shopkeeper and the staff. Some of them who are more capable and loyal to us can take a few of them away and go back to Shu with their families. Don't be lucky. The rebels are powerful and will never be overwhelmed."

Hao Donglai gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and sell the shop now."

Shi Daxing also said: "I'll go and dismiss the mate."

The two shopkeepers looked decayed, and they seemed to have grown up for decades. The two stood up and were about to leave. Shi Daxing suddenly stopped and asked, "Marty, why is there no news in the Chang'an court in such a big event? Do we not know about the emperor and court officials of our Tang Dynasty?"

Gu Qing said deeply: "The emperor may have suspicions, but he may still not believe that An Lushan really dared to rebel against the Tang Dynasty with his sword and gun. The court officials may be aware of the situation. Like the emperor, they did not believe that he could enter Chang'an. I, as early as Anxi, knew that An Lushan was about to rebel, but I dare not tell the emperor about this news, for fear that he would punish me for the crime of alienating the king and the ministers..."

He smiled as if he was ridiculed, Gu Qing said, "Is it interesting? The king and his ministers are suspicious and tempted, and the traitor is about to break out, but I, the real person who is in the know, hides and dares not report it, because the person who pulled off the last fig leaf is not only ineffective, but is guilty."

The two shopkeepers were silent.

Yes, the so-called last fig leaf in the prosperous era, before the knife was placed on the neck, everyone was whitewashing the peace. Knowing that the ministers were no longer ministers, they still naively thought that he dared not fight, and that he still had loyalty, filial piety, good and evil in his heart.
