After another busy midnight, I finally finished copying the "Jade Account". After careful proofreading and binding confirmation, Qin Mubai sighed and finally could sleep peacefully.

In the morning of the next day, Qin Mubai woke up naturally when he slept and heard that the courtyard was very lively. Unable to be a little curious, he got up and undressed and opened the door. He saw groups of people in the courtyard shuttle back and forth, carrying large and small boxes and packages to the back room.

"What are you doing?" Qin Mubai asked one of the officials.

"San Gongzi, Wu Dong's family sent a large number of New Year's goods, I'm waiting for it!" The servant said with joy, "San Gongzi, Wu Dong's family is really a good person. She even thought about us servants. , We have prepared a lot of lamb, vegetables and cloth jackets for each of us!"

"Got it, go!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: Mei Niang is really interested...

At this moment, Wu Meiniang and Shuang'er walked into the courtyard arm in arm, and when they saw Qin Mubai from a distance, they walked towards him.

"Mei Niang, what are you doing?" Qin Mubai asked first.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "The New Year is almost coming, the house should always be arrogant? A few days ago I sent my subordinates to take care of the New Year's goods, so by the way, I asked them to do more and send it to you. It is also a way to save trouble. , I think you are very busy and may not have the time to handle these things."

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "These things have always been handled by the housekeeper, this time I will bother you."

Wu Meiniang said: "Don't you just say so? Shouldn't I give myself some new year goods?"

"Yes!" Qin Shuang'er said with a grin, "Sister Mei is so mindful! When he came back to my house for the first time last time, he saw that the mansion hadn't started preparing for the New Year, so he remembered it. , I immediately got up. You see, this new year's goods have been shipped as cars and cars, and the people in the mansion are very happy! — Hey, Dad has always been stingy, and has never done anything in the mansion these years It’s been so many years!"

"Shuang'er, don't talk nonsense. If you let Duke Yi hear it, I might pinch your face." Wu Meiniang smiled, "Duke Yi, this is thrift, not stingy. On the contrary, it is us businessmen. The disciples, there is nothing else except money. Money, you have to spend it when you earn it. It is most worthwhile to spend on your family."

"Hehe! Third brother, did you hear that? Sister Mei said-my own house!" Qin Shuang'er clapped his hands and laughed.

"You are a little ghost!" Qin Mubai scolded with a smile, and invited the two girls into the house, and went to wash himself before returning.

When I entered the house, I saw that it was cleaned up and spotlessly clean. Qin Shuang'er was like a supervisor and housekeeper, standing at the door with a plate of snacks in hand, watching with interest Wu Meiniang packing up books, paper, pen and ink before several cases.

"You fellow, how can you let Mei Niang do these things?" Qin Mubai asked Shuanger's ears.

"Oh, it hurts, let go!" Shuang'er yelled, and chuckled after running away, "Don't blame me, it's Mei Niang who insists on helping you clean up this pig nest, hehe!" /

Wu Meiniang smiled in the room: "It's really like a pig's nest, messy. There are scraps of paper all over the floor, and the bed is messy. Mu Bai, you're afraid you never make a bed or sweep the floor?"

"Hey, he is a general! Where does the general do these things!" Qin Shuanger dodged into the room with a smile, and joked with Wu Meiniang.

"Shuang'er, since you know that your brother is of this temperament, you have to help him clean up on weekdays!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"Hmm, I know... Hey, Mei Niang, you really smell like a sister-in-law and a mistress!" Qin Shuang'er laughed happily.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled and walked into the room, and said to Wu Meiniang, "Meiniang, how are things about Qin Xiange going? I heard that you are running out of money for so many years. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Although I am a poor general, I still have some property in my hand, and I received a batch of rewards not long ago."

"Okay! Then you lend me a thousand taels! No interest!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"No problem." Qin Mubai agreed, "I still have some cash in hand, and some of the rewarded silk cloth can be worthwhile to sell. If it is not enough, the rented millet collected this year , The Yongye Land Property Code newly allocated to me was sold, so how can I make up this thousand taels."

"Forget it, I was joking with you!" Wu Meiniang chuckled, "Qin Xiange, I have already taken care of it. The two shops next door allowed me to owe them half a year in debt. Half a year is enough for me. Turnover is over. Keep your money and spend it slowly! I just went to your house with Shuang'er to see it. It's really shabby and simple, even lack of furniture, and the servant girl in the house is scarce. Besides, You are a general. You don’t even have a few good horses in your house or a few good weapons or saddles. How ugly is it to pass the general out?"

Qin Shuang'er chuckled heartlessly again: "I saw my third brother, Sister Mei is really like a mistress who is taking care of your house for you! You are getting married soon! Get married, everything at home Someone has taken care of it, so don’t worry!"

"Just talk about it!" Qin Mubai scolded with a smile, and said, "I haven't lived in the house for a day, and it's basically empty. Maybe... it won't take long for me to transfer outside. Therefore, for the time being No need to add expense, right?"

"External transfer?" Wu Meiniang gave a stunned voice, "Where are you going again, and how long are you going?"

Shuang'er was also a little surprised: "Yes, Brother, you have only been back for a few days now, do you want to go out for business again?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "It's not very sure yet, it's just an idea. If it succeeds, it may not be a short-term business trip, but a long-term stay in the remote county."

"What?" Wu Meiniang said in amazement, "Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

"Then it will be a long story." Qin Mubai touched his stomach, and gave Shuang'er a mouthful, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes. Don't you just want to distract me, do you guys whisper? I'll just go, hehe!" Shuang'er hummed happily, and said as he walked, "Talk slowly. , I asked the kitchen to make delicious food for you, and I will deliver it in half an hour!"

"This life treasure girl, really talkative!" Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head, invited Wu Meiniang to sit down, and said to her, "Meiniang, I haven't told you many things before, now I can tell you . What do you think of Baiqi's job?"

"Very good!" Wu Meiniang nodded in surprise, "The emperor is close to the emperor's confidant, holding privileges to travel. Although the Hundred Cavalry Envoy does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, his status has already jumped. Ranked above the commander with a rate of six and twelve. Even the prime minister dare not despise you as a hundred horse envoy, right?"

"Yes, you are right." Qin Mubai said, "but this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Baiqishi is just an empty shell. My scenery and prestige are nothing but the emperor's light. Yan. People are afraid of me respecting me, not because of my Qin Mubai’s own abilities, but the emperor standing behind me. I don’t like this feeling very much, like a puppet of endorsement and running errands. Moreover, the palace has always been In the most complicated place in the world, intrigues, intrigues, and even a little bit dangerous and dark to put it bluntly, and the emperor’s side is even more so. I have never stopped in this year as a Hundred Horse Envoy. Faced with murder this time."

"Is it so serious?" Wu Meiniang said in surprise, "I haven't heard you mention anything before. I have always thought that you, the Hundred Horse Envoy, are doing very well, both majestic and relaxed. I didn't expect that you too So hard and so tired...I'm such a careless woman, I don't know how to care about you."

"Don't say that." Qin Mubai smiled, "In fact, the greater the management, the greater the pressure and responsibility, and the greater the crisis and dangers faced. It is just that because of this position, Baiqi Particularity, but bears the pressure and crisis that are inconsistent with the official position. Now, because the well-known Princess Gaoyang is so troubled...Even if I still want to rely on Baiqi, the emperor is not so happy. Instead of this, why don't I know it One point, please take the initiative to transfer?"

Wu Meiniang frowned for a moment, and nodded earnestly: "The idea is right. If I were you, I would do the same. The affairs of Princess Gaoyang turned into a storm, and this time even the emperor lost his face. After learning from the previous car, he felt like he had planted a thorn in his heart. How could he keep you in the harem with peace of mind?"

Qin Mubai laughed: "Mei Niang, why do I listen to you a bit weird? Is it a scourge if I am in the harem? Princess Gaoyang was not my initiative to provoke."

"Hmph, you are playing treasures here again, if you get cheap, you will be good again!" Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes in annoyance, and cursed, "As the saying goes, a slap can't make a slap, if you didn't know how to show off in front of Princess Gaoyang Coquettish, she is a girl who is still in love, can she like you?"

"I... coquettish?" Qin Mubai grinned wide, crying and smiled bitterly, "How can I be coquettish? If there is a big harem with three thousand beautiful beauties like clouds, no one else has seen it. I’m just a Gaoyang princess? Well, that’s just an accident, OK!"

"Huh! If it's not accidental, it's okay? The emperor is a man, and men are jealous, and they are more jealous than women! In case you seduce another woman, princess or concubine someday Concubine, how do you end it?" Wu Meiniang said, as if jokingly, as if earnestly, "So, if the emperor wants to kick you out of Baiqi with one kick, I'll get out as soon as possible!"

Qin Mubai grinned awkwardly: "This... is indeed rough and not rough. Forget it, let's not talk about this level. Anyway, I plan to request an external transfer. I will spend a year in which state or county. Come back in two years."

Wu Meiniang showed helplessness, and finally nodded silently, and said: "This is a big deal, but I still want to make a clear decision. Do you have a goal now, where do you want to go, how do you go?"

"I want to go to Xiangzhou to serve as a military attaché." Qin Mubai said, "I am the gate of the Qin family's military warfare. I got up in the army and learned the martial arts art of warfare. I had no choice but to develop on this path. I don’t have any experience in using soldiers. It’s good to go to a place for further study. In the capital, there are a lot of generals and talents. When will I go to battle and practice with soldiers? Although I am not well-known now, but It’s just an empty shell. It’s nothing more than the halo of my father and the emperor on my head, but I don’t have a real learning ability. I need a while to temper and enrich myself."

"Okay, I support you." Wu Meiniang said decisively, "The most important thing is that a man is ambitious and not talk about it. Putting it into practice is the most important thing. Now that you are aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, you should use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to fill vacancies. In the early tenths, there is much more promising than the old generals in the imperial court. This time the emperor asked you to learn from Li Jing, and he also has the intention of cultivating and nurturing you. There are not many outstanding generals in the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty. , You can stand out!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Mei Niang, I can't think of a young girl who knows this! Yes, really good. If we become relatives in the future, you will surely be my good helper .I’ll discuss everything with you in the future."

"Fuck you, don't come!" Wu Meiniang's face flushed slightly, and she smiled and said, "Yes, there is something I told you yesterday, how do you plan to be different?"

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "You mean the prince's invitation?... He only posted you but didn't invite me, so I won't go!"

Wu Meiniang was silent for a moment, and said: "I am a lowly girl from the house of the traffickers and pawns. Why did he invite me and he didn't clearly go to you? Mu Bai, why do I feel that you are not willing to approach the prince? He is the crown prince of the country, the emperor of the future! Even if you don’t agree with him, there’s no harm in touching him a little bit?"

Qin Mubai smiled unpredictably, smiling without saying a word.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Wu Meiniang said in confusion, "I never thought of connecting with the East Palace and going online. This time, the prince took the initiative to show good, why did you avoid And far away? I can’t figure it out, you can tell me!"

Qin Mubai shook his head, and said in his heart: Do you want me to tell you that Prince Li Chengqian can't do a few days? Regardless of the history or the current situation, it will be a matter of time before the crown prince Li Chengqian was abolished. Earlier, I rejected King Wei’s solicitation, and now I am waiting to be released and inaugurated with Li Ke. If I approach the prince at this time, what do Wang Wei and Li Ke think? Besides... the Jiangzhou case has just subsided and is still in the limelight! One of my chief officials in charge of the Jiangzhou case, immediately went to the East Palace to have a banquet after the case was closed. Didn't this make it clear to everyone that I had helped the prince secretly and saved him from crisis? Especially after letting the emperor know about it, our previous strategies and calculations will be exposed. The emperor has always hated the secretives of his subordinates and deceived them. Then I am not asking myself to be boring?

In short, this East Palace is not going to go to now!

"Mei Niang, I really didn't explain many things to you at the moment." Qin Mubai said, "Anyway, you go to the East Palace! If you go, it is equivalent to me. Even the prince is not a big deal. And mind. Moreover, he may not really want me to go to the East Palace at this time. The reason why he sent you the invitation but not me was also deliberate."

"What's the meaning of this move?" Wu Meiniang frowned and was puzzled. "Are you...are you avoiding suspicion?"

"Clever, in one word!" Qin Mubai exclaimed, "understand this, don't go into it. Anyway, you can go to the East Palace alone with peace of mind, and that will already represent me." /

"Okay, I'll go." Wu Meiniang nodded, "I listen to you about this kind of thing. You are smarter than me and know better than me. I will do what you say."

"Really good!" Qin Mubai smiled and tried to touch her cheek. It just so happened that there was a dry cough from the door: "Eating, eating! Qingqing, my fellows, take a break!"

"This guy..." Qin Mubai stared at Qin Shuang'er dumbfounded, sighing helplessly.

After the meal, Mei Niang still stayed in the Qin Mansion, helping to arrange the New Year goods. She has a business background and is best at doing this. The New Year goods of dozens of people in Qin's mansion were allotted in order by her.

Qin Shubao always doesn't care about this kind of thing. After listening to Liu's talk, he just smiled slightly and said: "Businessmen are very profitable, of course!"

The Liu family called injustice for Wu Meiniang, and complained: "Uncle Bao, don't say that. Meiniang regards our house as her own, and she helps her at the top and bottom! What is the new year's goods worth? If she is Wouldn't it be enough to buy people’s hearts or something, just bring in big boxes of money and cloth?"

"This is where she is clever." Qin Shubao smiled slightly, "Small actions are silent. She is indeed an excellent strange woman, she is so resourceful and sophisticated at a young age."

"Hey, I really can't figure out how to always point her nose and eyes at Mei Niang. Ask me to say, this wife is good, I like it!" Liu said angrily.

"You like it, do you call the shots?" Qin Shubao snorted softly and said with a smile, "What did you come to tell me?"

"Huh! Old stubborn!" Liu's cursed angrily and waved away.

Qin Mubai went out and returned the military documents to Li Jing's mansion. Knocked the door for a long while before opening, still the old man Zhong. The old man Zhong said that Li Jing had just fallen asleep, and Qin Mubai consciously stopped disturbing him, did not enter the mansion, and left the book.

Seeing that it was still early, Qin Mubai stopped by to visit Prince Wu's Mansion. As a result, I haven't seen anyone for two days. In case Princess Gaoyang is going to go crazy again, it is hard to deal with. Besides, it is also time to talk to Li Ke about job-hopping.

At the Wu Palace, Princess Gao Yang was sullenly chatting with several maids and waitresses. Hearing Qin Mubai's arrival, she immediately jumped up and went out to meet her. Regardless of the number of people present, cheering rushed into his arms.

"Thief Military Academy, smelly man, just come now!" Princess Gao Yang scolded bitterly.

"Well, many people are watching, let go." Qin Mubai finally pulled Princess Gao Yang out of his arms and saw Li Ke already standing at the entrance of the hall watching them laugh.

"Your Highness, I am here." Qin Mubai walked to Li Ke, "I have some important things to discuss with you today."

"Come in and sit, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Li Ke invited Qin Mubai and Gao Yang into the study to sit down, and set the stove to make tea according to his old habit. He asked: "Let's talk, what's the matter?"

Qin Mubai simply told Li Ke about his wishes.

Princess Gaoyang suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, why did you leave Chang'an suddenly? No, I have to go wherever you go, you have to take me with you!"

"Sister, don't yell for now." Li Ke waved his hand, smiled unfathomably, and said, "Mu Bai, I thought you would come and tell me this when you return to Beijing, so why wait until then? ?"

"What?" Qin Mubai was stunned, "Is it possible that this is what I did, and it is what you expected?"

"Of course." Li Ke hesitated his palm and laughed.

The look is like Li Shimin who is in charge of Zhizhu in his chest!
