The weather was gradually turning cold, and the chilling wind sent shivers down one’s spine.
Shrugging his neck, Qin Chengming cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for Your Highness’s kindness. However, before departing, His Majesty ordered me to return promptly to report. I dare not delay, so I won’t stay longer in Qingzhou.”
“Is that so? What a pity,” Xiao Ming said.
He actually hoped Qin Chengming could bring some of Qingzhou’s unique traits back to Chang’an to attract wealthy and carefree people to spend money here. But it seemed there would be no chance this time.
Qin Rui also felt reluctant; after all, he was traveling alone far from home.
The court fleet arrived in the morning and planned to return by afternoon. Xiao Ming took Qin Chengming to Wei Family Restaurant for lunch. By afternoon, he returned to the dock, leaving Qin Rui and Xiao Ming staring at each other.
“Qin Rui, since you will serve as an official in Qingzhou, from now on we are lord and subject. Never again should you be frivolous like before. You must assist me in developing this fief.”
After a moment’s thought, Xiao Ming said this to Qin Rui.
He knew Qin Rui well — smart, but previously careless. That was fine when they were just having fun, but to achieve greatness, he had to warn him a little.
“Your Highness worries too much. I now have a family and am no longer reckless like in my youth,” Qin Rui said calmly.
