Qin Mubai slept soundly from early morning to noon. When I was about to wake up in a daze, I felt a little itchy in my nose. I couldn't help but sneezed and woke up immediately.
"Hey!" Someone in the room made a series of chuckles, and Qin Mubai turned his head to see that it was Shuang'er and Mei Niang.
"You two guys!" Qin Mubai yawned and crawled out of the bed, leaning on the pillow a few times, and asked, "What time is it now?"
"I'm going to have lunch, mother asked me to wake you up." Shuang'er said with a smile, "Mei Niang has been here for half an hour, so I am not allowed to wake you up. She is too used to you. Up!"
Qin Mubai smiled: "I apologize, Mei Niang, for keeping you waiting. By the way, how is your "Qin Xiange" cooking? I apologize for being too busy these two days I have no time to come and help you."
"It's okay, I have to come here by myself, there are so many helpers." Wu Meiniang walked to Qin Mubai's bed and sat down with a smile, and said, "You didn't see that I was free, so I ran to your house to play Already?"
Qin Shuang'er was behind Wu Meiniang, grimacing at Qin Mubai with his tongue out. Don't guess, it must be this girl general Wu Meiniang who "shunted".
"By the way, I want to tell you something." As Wu Meiniang said, she took out an invitation post and handed it to Qin Mubai, "It's strange, the world's first wine has been opened for a year, and it has only King Wei and King Wu went to join us, but the prince seldom got in touch with us. The king of Han Li Yuanchang, who was very close to the prince before, also made trouble with us. But this time, the prince took the initiative to help me. Before the completion of Zi Xinxiu, he sent someone to give the gift, and sent an invitation to invite me to the East Palace for a three-day banquet, saying it was the birthday of the princess."
"Well, is there such a thing?" Qin Mubai took a look at the invitation with some surprise, and it was so.
"Obviously, this invitation is for you." Wu Meiniang said, "I have never had any dealings with people in the East Palace."
"Well, I know." Qin Mubai nodded and asked, "You just said that the prince helped you, what did you do?"
"Helped me two places." Wu Meiniang said, "A few days ago, Chu Suiliang and a few friends came to my shop to have a drink, so I personally received it. Chu Suiliang told me that he had helped me deliver I asked the emperor for instructions and applied for a gift from a'Datang Yishang', but I never saw whereabouts. I didn't take it seriously at the time. I thought that if there was one, there would be no if there was or not. Don't force it. Later, it was vaguely in Chu Suiliang's words. It was revealed that the matter was not approved by the emperor, but fell into the hands of King Wei."
"The emperor does not care about such trivial matters." Qin Mubai said, "Many similar trivial matters are handled by the emperor. It is normal for the emperor to take care of them. Wei Wang is quite favored by the emperor. Living in the Wude Hall, serving around the emperor, often participating in some political affairs, and often helping the emperor with some government affairs."
"Although Chu Suiliang didn't say it clearly, I guess it was probably because Wang Wei was unwilling to approve me the title of Datang Yishang." Wu Meiniang said, "I stopped this idea at the time. Who ever thought Only one day later, Chu Suiliang personally delivered a plaque of "Datang Yishang" which was personally sealed by the imperial book. The font is Feibaishu, which was written by His Majesty the Emperor."
"Oh?" Qin Mubai frowned in surprise, "I entered the palace yesterday, and the emperor never mentioned it to me."
"Chu Suiliang told me that Wei Wangyin did not report the memorial and did not tell the emperor. However, the prince deliberately or unintentionally took a batch of memorials from the memorial of Wei Wang to read, and found the memorial, so he went straight Reported to the emperor. The emperor gave the approval without saying anything." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "It seems that the prince and the king of Wei are fighting fiercely!"
Qin Mubai smiled lightly: "This is a battle between their princes, and we have nothing to do with them. The prince is the prince of a country, and he has the power to participate in the political affairs of the military, government and state affairs. Strictly speaking, Wang Wei On the contrary, it is arrogant. Everything is only because the emperor's preference for him gave him privileges."
"That's a good thing, but the prince is also intentionally showing you good?" Wu Meiniang said, "If the memorial is only that the prince wants to fight against the king of Wei, then he took the initiative to help me get all of the world. The two shops next to the first wine are more obvious. I think those two shops have been under the market for a long time, but they have been operating in Chang'an for many years and both have strong backgrounds. One of them is the prince. The relatives of the Donggong staff opened it. Although I tried hard, I couldn’t talk about it at all before. On the contrary, they wanted to swallow my shop! But if the prince let it go, those two shops would be obedient. Abdicated and let go."
Qin Mubai smiled: "It's not showing kindness, but repaying favor."
"What do you say?"
"Then it will be a long story!" Qin Mubai yawned and stretched out a big laziness. "I'll get up and wash before talking. Haven't you been disgusted by my eye feces?"
"Hey, it's disgusting!" Wu Meiniang smiled and scolded and stepped away.
Qin Shuang'er chuckled and fetched hot water and other things, and said, "You two, it's really strange. I haven't seen a couple of people who are like you and talk about love. The first one was not in business. It’s a matter of state, it’s a terrible sight."
"Just your mouth is poor!" Qin Mubai twisted Qin Shuang'er's cheek and got up to wash and change clothes.
The lunch was cooked, and Wu Meiniang participated in the Qin's family banquet for the first time.
Although the Qin family’s style is rigorous, Qin Shubao is not the kind of pedantic and sour old student. He has a relatively free and generous nature. It is very easy-going at such a family banquet, and there are no strict rules, concubine. You can also have meals with the head of the family.
Wu Meiniang was born a relatively well-behaved and agile person. She only appeared gentle at the dinner, and did not have the restraint and timidity of a young wife. Instead, she took the initiative to toast Qin Shubao and Liu's, decently and decently.
Liu's face smiled like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom, apparently quite satisfied with Wu Meiniang, a well-behaved and capable wife. Even Qin Shubao was often coaxed into laughter by Wu Meiniang's witty remarks, and enjoyed a family dinner.
Qin Mubai laughed in his heart, and secretly said: Mei Niang is really smart. Since the last time she met Princess Gaoyang, she must have felt a crisis, but she never mentioned it on the initiative, but used actions to consolidate her "status". She rebuilt the business premises and used the name of Qin Xianjiu, and took the initiative to run to my house to get close to my family. These are all very effective initiatives. In contrast, the innocent and straightforward Princess Gao Yang did not understand such management.
The two of them are really two different types of women. Wu Meiniang is extremely clever and clever, and Princess Gao Yang is persevering and honest...It's really hard to choose!
After the meal, Qin Mubai went back to his room and continued to copy the book, Shuang'er stuffed Wu Meiniang into his room, but slipped away.
Qin Mubai's desk was ill, and Wu Meiniang quietly rubbed his ink on the side, adding tea and charcoal for him from time to time, and then sitting quietly reading a book without saying a word.
One or two hours later, Qin Mubai was also a little tired, put down the pen, and smiled at Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, if you are bored or tired, you can go to a nap for a while."
"No. It's nice to be by your side." Wu Meiniang smiled, "Just sitting quietly, I feel very peaceful. I don't need to talk and chat, but it's quite comfortable."
"Really?" Qin Mubai chuckled, "With you, I feel that time flies very quickly."
"What did you copy, when will such a thick book be finished? Do you want me to help you?" Wu Meiniang leaned in and asked.
Qin Mubai thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay. This is Li Jing's biography of my military book. I promised him never to spread it."
"Then I won't help you." Wu Meiniang smiled, "Lest you be embarrassed."
"It's okay, I believe you." Qin Mubai smiled, "If you don't even believe in you, who can't I believe?"
"Well, I'll sit with you in the same case. You assign some copies for me." Wu Meiniang walked to him and sat down with a smile.
Qin Mubai split the thick book temporarily, took a stack to Wu Meiniang, and handed her a processed quill pen.
Wu Meiniang looked at it for a while with a quill pen, and couldn't help but smile: "I just wanted to ask you just now. Can this pen also write?"
"Of course, you can give it a try. Come, I tell you to hold a pen." Qin Mubai held her small catkin hand and taught her to hold a pen and write.
Wu Meiniang's face was slightly red, and after writing a few words, she couldn't help but smile in surprise: "It's really easy to use! Although it's still a bit awkward, I believe you can write well after practicing. , It's easier to use than a brush, and write faster!"
"That's enough!" Qin Mubai laughed.
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and smiled happily: "Mu Bai, you say...If I sell this pen as a commodity, can I make a lot of money?"
"Haha! Meiniang, Meiniang, you are really a prodigy in business!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Of course, what's wrong? The production and processing of this pen is very simple. In fact, I can teach You make fountain pens, but time is limited now, so you can only study it slowly later."
"Pen?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "That's a pen that is more convenient and easy to use than a quill pen. Okay, let’s not talk about it now, it’s important to copy the book. I will take this book back tomorrow and return it. Li Jing!"
"Okay, I will help you!"
The two began to copy the book together. As Qin Mubai wrote, he paid attention to Wu Meiniang's side.
This strange woman is really smart. Qin Mubai only taught her once, and she was able to use quill pens very skillfully with a little bit of guesswork. Not only that, her fonts are also quite beautiful, with the style of a great calligrapher, which made Qin Mubai amazed.
"You can't hide it, Mei Niang! Your writing is so beautiful!" Qin Mubai praised.
"Hey, look down on me!" Wu Meiniang smiled proudly, "I have followed my mother to read and practice calligraphy since I was three or four years old!"
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Go ahead, what else do you have?"
"Hey!" Wu Meiniang smiled triumphantly, and chanted in a full-hearted voice, "The Nine Spring Festival opens, and the thousand gates are open at night. Lanterns breathe new flames, and Gui Polang is full of glory. Send The wine must be full and the cup does not need to be thin. Make sure that the rosy syrup flourishes, and then the wine will return to the Luoshan area."
"The poem you wrote?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but grinned, "It's plagiarism, it's obviously winter!"
"Obviously I did it!" Wu Meiniang twisted Qin Mubai annoyedly, and said, "It was not long after our family returned to Guanzhong this spring, when visiting the Luoshui Lantern Festival when visiting relatives and friends in Luoyang. Of!"
"Just blow it!" Qin Mubai smirked, "I don't believe it if I kill you! I don't know how to write poems, you can do it again!"
"Huh! Why don't you know why I won't do it? Look at your dumb look, you should read more!" Wu Meiniang scolded for a while, then suddenly closed the book she was copying, and said "Now you’re listening--the husband’s camp has a plan to teach warfare, so that the soldiers know how to advance and stop, and understand the golden drum. The battle against the enemy is unpredictable, so it can no longer be defeated, but it is infinite. Soldiers are like water, water Shaped by the ground, the soldier wins because of the enemy, can change with the enemy and win, it is called the god. Then its battle formation has no picture, and it is clear. It is not also absurd for the general to use the training formation as the battle formation. Almost!..."
"I... damn!" Qin Mubai had to exclaim loudly now, "You-never forget?!"
"Would you like to listen to another paragraph?" Wu Meiniang giggled, "Tianzhen Juqian is the gate of Heaven. Dizheng is the gate of the earth. The wind Zun is the gate of the earth. The cloud is the gate of the wind. The cloud is the gate of the dragon. Flying dragon is shocked. It is the Flying Dragon Gate. The Tiger Wing Judui is the Tiger Wing Gate......"
"Stop, stop!" Qin Mubai yelled, "I believe it, I believe it! You are so unforgettable! Genius!"
"Hey!" Wu Meiniang laughed, "What is this, I have already copied it, of course I remember. If I pay a little attention, I can remember things that I have read only once, and I will not forget them over the years. ."
Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I still won't go down to find out about your specialties. These questions are asking and asking, it hurts self-esteem-copy books!"
"Hey, just copy the book! From now on, one hour. See who copies more and better. Those who lose will pinch their legs for those who win!" Wu Meiniang giggled.
"It's better to change your bet." Qin Mubai smiled badly, "If I win, I can kiss you as I want; if you win, you can kiss me as you like."
"Bad boy, as a disciple!"
……
In the courtyard of the Qin family, Liu accompanied Qin Shubao on a walk. Since getting healthy, Qin Shubao's mood has become very cheerful. He often walks and chats with Liu's family or goes out to go shopping in the market together. Husbands, women, and wives are also a little married.
"Uncle Bao, you see, Mei Niang is really good, right?" Liu said, "She is not only smart and capable, but also very filial and courteous. In the future, she will definitely become Liang'er's wise helper."
"I don't doubt this. I never said I hate her." Qin Shubao said, "It's just that Wu Meiniang is embarrassed if there is a princess Gao Yang there. This woman is very smart and has a very clever mind. Seeing that Princess Goyang and Saburo were approaching, she took the initiative to approach us and let us accept her first. If her thoughts and ingenuity are used in the right way, there are endless wonderful things. If it is used to walk the wrong way, That must be a lot of damage."
"Look at you, where did you think of it?" Liu said, "Following Liang'er, can she still become bad? You don't often say that a sword is double-edged, and it can hurt the enemy and yourself. But Why do you people who practice martial arts like magic weapons and don't use blunt swords and rusty swords? Just because Mei Niang is too clever and ingenious, you dislike her. Isn't this because she chokes and is too unfair to Liang'er?"
Qin Shubao was speechless and was silent for a long time before saying: "Then it depends on whether she is willing to succumb to the side room."
"Hey..." Liu shook his head and sighed a few times, and said, "Let's look at Liang'er's own district. Let's not control too much to make him embarrassed. I believe Liang'er can handle these things well." /
"Oh, you have faith in your full-hearted son!" Qin Shubao couldn't help laughing. "Now I don't have to worry about getting my daughter-in-law. It's just that these daughters-in-law are bigger than the others. , One is harder to deal with than the other, it's really annoying!"
"So, you are beginning to accept Mei Niang?" Liu asked in surprise.
"I didn't say it!"
……
All afternoon, Qin Mubai and Mei Niang copied books in the room without leaving the room. With Mei Niang's help, it really gets twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, Qin Mubai's own efficiency has also been greatly improved without being tired from working with men and women. In just half a day, he actually copied the rest of the book. At most, add half a night shift to complete the copy.
After dinner, Wu Meiniang said goodbye. Temporarily, she was extremely sincere and invited the Qin family to her home. Qin Shubao also agreed with a smile.
After Wu Meiniang left, Qin Shuang'er ran into Qin Mu's white room and said to him: "Brother, I still think Meiniang is good!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai said.
"That's...If you marry Mei Niang and be your wife and mistress, it will be more suitable!" Qin Shuanger said, "Princess Gao Yang is pretty good, she is a noble and beautiful person, and she is obsessed with you. Regret. But... she is like a naive child right now, and she likes self-willed pranks. How can she compare to Mei Niang's, she's kind and generous, smart and clever and well-behaved? The wife and mistress, just want to manage I have to do housework and be a good helper. How wonderful is Mei Niang!"
Qin Mubai smiled: "Why did you tell me this suddenly for no reason?"
"Don't you think about such a big thing?" Qin Shuang'er asked in a little surprised.
"Not yet." Qin Mubai sighed and said, "I will think about it in at least a year! Right now, I am very busy. If a man starts a business and then a family, why should a husband be free from a wife? Tangled over this kind of thing."
"Hmph, third brother, just pretend! In fact, you are more entangled than anyone else!" Qin Shuang'er said, "It's all to blame! You are so unruly and unruly, you have provoke so many women to love you before you get married. "
"A lot?"
"Are you still less?" Qin Shuanger blurted out, "I know three of them!"
"Three?" Qin Mubai frowned, "Why is there one more?"
"Uh, this..." Shuang'er whispered for a while, knowing that she had missed her mouth, and quickly waved her hands, "Two, two! I was wrong."
Qin Mubai blinked his eyes a few times, then smiled indifferently: "Go play, don't bother me. I'm busy now!"
"Hmph, just go! Don't ask me to add charcoal and tea for a while!"
"Does that still need to be called? Haha!"
"Ignore you!" Qin Shuang'er put on an angry stance, and left in a huff.
Shuang'er left, Qin Mubai couldn't help but sighed secretly: I'm really a murderer! Shuang'er, this little Nizi, how could she lie, just now her expression had clearly betrayed her. She and Yaoer are the best friends with each other, and they must always talk about their thoughts together. Look at the expression she had just now... She definitely wanted to say that the Yaoer girl was also enamoured of me.
A sin!
Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang are enough to make people headaches, and there is also a gentle demon lurking next to me who secretly promised me! ...
