The Prodigal Son

A few days later, a strong liquor called "Zunjiu" gradually became famous in the capital.

Zunjiu is famous for two reasons. Firstly, it is clear and powerful, living up to its name and truly deserving the title of the supreme wine!

But more so because its price is outrageously high.

Ten taels of silver per catty!

Five catties in one jar!

Buying a jar of wine is equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary family for one or two years.

The exorbitant price has deterred countless people who wanted to taste this wine.

But for those wealthy people, fifty taels of silver is nothing at all.

Skip one trip to the brothel, you'll find everything there!

Along with the famous wine, the phrase "GG" also became well-known.

A real man drinks a toast!

As Zunjiu's reputation grew, more and more people approached Luo Qingyi to discuss collaborations.

Luo Qingyi had good conversations with several people, but had not yet finalized a business partner.

In the afternoon, Qin Yu, who had served as a court attendant for the day, returned to his residence.

As soon as they entered, they saw Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er chatting animatedly with a bright and beautiful woman.

As Qin Yu approached, the woman stood up gracefully and bowed, saying, "This humble servant is Jiang Ci, greetings to Young Master Qin."

"Jiang Ci?"

Qin Yu looked the woman up and down.

That name sounds familiar.

I think I've heard someone say that before.

Jiang Ci smiled sweetly, "Young Master Qin, you must have a bad memory. We've met before!"

"Have we... met before?"

Qin Yu was slightly surprised.

He honestly couldn't remember where he had seen this person before.

But then again, he used to spend all his time surrounded by women.

He might not even remember some of the women he's slept with, let alone the ones he's met.

Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I attended the wedding banquet when Young Master Qin and Luo Qingyuan got engaged."

"Oh, no wonder!"

Qin Yu suddenly realized, but inwardly rolled his eyes.

When he got engaged to Luo Qingyuan, so many people were attending the wedding banquet, who would remember her!

Luo Qingyi smiled and said, "Madam Jiang is here to discuss business with me."

That's it!

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Then you two talk! I'll go back to the courtyard to rest for a bit."

"Aren't you going to listen to me?"

Luo Qingyi pouted slightly.

"You two can talk."

As Qin Yu spoke, he patted his leg, "I've been standing in the palace all day, and now I just want to lie down and rest."

He worked a full shift today.

Aside from accompanying Zhao Luan to meals, he spent almost the entire time sitting.

Moreover, one must stand properly in front of Zhao Luan!

Even as a peak seventh-realm expert, he felt a bit unwell after the day.

All he wants to do right now is lie down and be surrounded by women.

Damn it!

These official positions in the inner palace are not for just anyone!

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Nan Que'er immediately stepped forward, took Qin Yu's arm, and said with a smile, "Then I'll go massage your legs!"

Actually, she wasn't interested in what Luo Qingyi and Jiang Ci were talking about.

Sitting here like a wooden doll is nowhere near as fun as being all lovey-dovey with Qin Yu!

"That's a good idea!"

Qin Yu laughed heartily and, as if no one else was around, put his arm around Nan Que'er's waist.

sensible!

She brought it up on her own initiative without me even mentioning it.

That's what you call telepathy!

After letting them chat for a while, Qin Yu immediately grabbed Nan Que'er and slipped away.

Watching Qin Yu slip away faster than a rabbit, Luo Qingyi couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Watching them leave, Jiang Ci sat down again and smiled, saying, "Young Master Qin is indeed a man of character."

"really!"

Luo Qingyi smiled, her eyes filled with undisguised love.

Jiang Ci saw the love in Luo Qingyi's eyes and leaned closer to her. "Sister Luo, I have a question for you. Don't blame me for being nosy."

"Sister, just ask."

Luo Qingyi smiled, "However, if it's something that can't be said, I won't say it."

Jiang Ci glanced around, a teasing smile on her face, and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard someone say that Young Master Qin has some problems in that area, is that true?"

Hearing Jiang Ci's question and seeing the smile on her face, Luo Qingyi couldn't help but blush.

She understood perfectly well what Jiang Ci meant!

Jiang Ci was clearly trying to find a way to ask her if she and Qin Yu had done "that" together!

Luo Qingyi glanced at her shyly, "That's not true! It's all malicious slander against Thirteenth Young Master by those people!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Ci's smile deepened. "So, you're already Mr. Qin's bedmate?"

Luo Qingyi blushed even more and quickly changed the subject: "Let's continue discussing our cooperation!"

"well!"

Jiang Ci chuckled and didn't press the matter further, but she already understood.

After that, the two chatted for about fifteen minutes.

Jiang Ci was very sensible. Seeing that it was getting late, she bid farewell to Luo Qingyi.

When Luo Qingyi returned to the courtyard, Qin Yu was lying there like a king, with Nan Que'er sitting next to him massaging his legs.

However, it's more accurate to say that he was taking advantage of Nan Que'er rather than saying that Nan Que'er was massaging his legs.

Even after Luo Qingyi walked in, Qin Yu not only didn't restrain himself, but also waved to Luo Qingyi with a wicked smile.

Luo Qingyi gave him a coquettish look, then gracefully walked to his side and sat down next to him.

Qin Yu naturally put his arm around Luo Qingyi. "Finished talking?"

"We're done talking."

Luo Qingyi nodded gently, then raised her hand to massage Qin Yu's other leg.

Enjoying the wonderful feeling of having two women on either side, Qin Yu asked, "Are you familiar with this Jiang Ci?"

"We know each other, but we're not close."

As she spoke, Luo Qingyi began to tell him about Jiang Ci's situation.

The Jiang family is in the porcelain business.

The Jiang family's porcelain is renowned for its exquisite variety.

The name Jiang Ci comes from this.

Jiang Ci's fate is somewhat similar to hers.

However, Jiang Ci is more capable than her.

Several years ago, Jiang Ci's older brother died unexpectedly, and her father also fell ill and soon passed away.

Subsequently, the third branch of the Jiang family fell into internal strife, and their business plummeted.

Later, Jiang Ci used forceful methods to take control of the Jiang family and became its leader.

Thanks to Jiang Ci's efforts, the Jiang family's business has improved considerably in recent years.

"How did she, someone who sells porcelain, come up with the idea of ​​cooperating with us?"

Qin Yu was curious.

Luo Qingyi smiled and replied, "She looked at the wine jars we used to hold the wine and felt that they were not worthy of the value of our fine wine. Her idea is that the Jiang family can provide us with more exquisite wine jars for free, but we need to produce a batch of wine, package it in a more upscale and exquisite way, and sell it together with the Jiang family's exquisite wine sets..."

In addition, Jiang Ci also wanted to purchase Zunjiu from them to sell outside the capital.

Qin Yu was surprised to hear Luo Qingyi's words.

This ginger porcelain is great!

They even know how to sell packaging and bundled sales!

He wanted to use premium wine to elevate the status of the Jiang family's porcelain!

A born shrewd businessman!

Qin Yu secretly praised him and then asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

"I think it's a good idea!"

Luo Qingyi said with a smile, "This is beneficial to both of us! However, we only had a preliminary discussion today, and there are still some specific details that need to be discussed further."

Qin Yu nodded slightly: "Then let's do it your way!"
