"Ling'er should still be with Ms. Wu right now? You go and pick her up." Li Daozong said, "Be careful, don't let her hear anything."
"I understand." Qin Mubai nodded knowingly, bid farewell to Li Daozong, and went to Wu Mei's family.
Riding slowly on the horse, Qin Mubai kept wondering in his heart: How can I hide Ling'er? This girl, who is usually naughty and like a child, is actually a smart and shrewd girl. Now I can only do two-handed preparations: one is to carefully cover up, try not to let her know about Li You; second, if the paper can't contain the fire, she finally knows, and she has to pre-determine a countermeasure.
Just walked slowly, one street walked for a long time. Along the way, many people and gentry greeted him affectionately, and they were really tired of coping.
It turned out that during the sacrifice, Li Daozong announced a series of policies to help the people promulgated by the emperor. The punish of Xiangzhou’s upper and lower levels had already been passed down to ten, and the people of Xiangyang were well-known. People who have received such benefits will naturally be grateful. Naturally, they would not be confused and grateful to Yang Guang, the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but instead used this thought on Li Ke and Qin Mubai.
Especially Qin Mubai.
Because there have been rumors from the outside world, it was Qin Mubai who cracked the secret map of the treasure left by the water ghosts, found the true mausoleum of Emperor Yang, and had today's rituals and the imperial court's policy of soothing people. As early as when the water ghost case was cracked, Li Ke and Qin Mubai had become "idols" in the minds of Xiangzhou people. Now that the ceremony is held, the image of the two is unprecedentedly tall. The local people and gentry of Xiangyang almost regarded Li Ke and Qin Mubai as gods and Buddhas and burned incense for worship.
Suddenly, one person in the crowd shouted: "General Qin!"
The voice is very familiar, Qin Mubai glanced sideways, and it turned out that it was Xue Rengui. He was mixed in the crowd in casual clothes and was waving to Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai got off the horse, and the two got together. He asked, "Brother Xue, where are you going?"
Xue Rengui bowed his hand back and smiled embarrassingly: "At the end of the day, I heard that Wu Dong's house has arrived in Xiangzhou, so I want to visit him."
"Oh!" Qin Mubai smiled knowingly, "You want to know, did your wife and children come to Xiangzhou with them?"
"Exactly." Xue Rengui said bluntly, smiling shyly.
"Let's go together, I'm going to her house." Qin Mubai stroked his back and said, "Listening to Mei Niang, Madam Zun seems to have come to Xiangzhou together. I also heard that, She gave you a son!"
"Yes, the final general has already been known in the letter. It has been three or four months." Xue Rengui said with some excitement, "I think it has been half a lifetime since Xue’s poor staff has been Finally I have a son, I can finally explain it to the ancestors!"
"Haha! Congratulations, Brother Xue, you are a father!" Qin Mubai laughed haha, "By the way, did the son have a name?"
Xue Rengui shook his head, overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Not yet. Xue did not read a lot, so I was afraid that his name would be bad. General Qin is very knowledgeable. How about giving advice to the general?"
"That's not good! Haha, your own son, it's better to name it yourself." Qin Mubai smiled, "Otherwise, Mrs. Zun will not depend on you."
While talking, I arrived at Wu Meiniang's house.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Princess Gao Yang walking around anxiously in the courtyard of the former house. When Bu saw Qin Mubai, she ran over with excitement, and ignoring Xue Rengui's presence, she threw into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Mu Bai, are you okay?" Her voice was full of crying, which made Qin Mubai feel sour.
"It's okay, I'm okay, isn't this good?" Qin Mubai gently comforted her, stroking her back.
At this moment, Wu Meiniang also hurriedly walked over from the back house. Seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but shook her head and smiled. She stood still not far away and didn't come over again.
"Look, Mei Niang is laughing at you!" Qin Mubai said jokingly.
"Huh?" Princess Gao Yang woke up and hurriedly got out of Qin Mubai's arms, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled, and said, "I blame you! I only know that people are worried. . I don’t know how to survive this day, it’s really like a year!"
"Okay, it's just a false alarm. Didn't I come back without incident?" Qin Mubai looked up and saw Su Lianqing standing behind Wu Meiniang, winking at him. Grimace, I couldn't help but get stuck in my heart: This guy, didn't you talk nonsense?
Xue Rengui has already stepped forward to meet Wu Meiniang. When Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang came over, they heard Wu Meiniang say: "Sister Liu was a little weak after giving birth, and she was exhausted by the wind and cold. I asked her to stay in bed in the back house. The healer takes care of him. Brother Xue came in time, go and see!"
"Okay!" Xue Rengui could not wait for a long time. Under the leadership of a housekeeper, he went to Liu's residence. The rest of the idlers all retired, leaving only Qin Mubai, Su Lianqing, Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang.
"Mu Bai, are you okay?" Wu Meiniang came forward and asked with a smile on her face.
"Of course it's okay! My old lady makes a move, can there be any difference?" Su Lianqing smiled.
"No respect, no humiliation, the wording is wrong, you should shut up. If you want to discuss life under my hands, the first thing you must learn is to follow the rules." Wu Meiniang said coldly, "I need you to save Mu Bai I have to thank you, so I fulfilled my previous promise and promised to accept you to stay with me; but since you stay, you have to abide by the rules. These two things, one yard of one yard, you have to distinguish. "
"Yes, yes, Dadongjia. I will definitely abide by your'rules' from now on." Su Lianqing didn't care, she smiled brightly.
Qin Mubai glared at her angrily and said, "You have already told King Wu?"
"Of course." Su Lianqing said with some pride around the tips of her hair, "His Royal Highness heard that I was going to follow Wu Dong's house, and he agreed without thinking. General Qin, your face is not bad. It's so big!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This coquettish and troublesome woman followed Wu Meiniang from now on, not knowing what to do.
Wu Meiniang glanced at Su Lianqing, and said faintly: "Go and rest, I will call you if I have something to do."
"Yes, Wu Dong's house." Su Lianqing smiled and arched his hands, turned around, and left in a leisurely manner.
"Hey, I don't like this woman." Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and said, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a kind person."
"But this time, if it weren't for her, it would be really difficult for Mu Bai to get away safely!" Wu Meiniang smiled, "Actually, the three teachings and nine streams have their own strengths. As long as they use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, different people will have different uses. I know that this Su Lianqing has a wild temperament and great ability. The reason why he hid with me was just to eat a bowl of leisure rice. It doesn’t matter, I will raise her without worrying about adding a pair of chopsticks. Maybe someday , She can be of great use to me again."
"Mei Niang, you are not afraid that she will cause trouble for you? Seeing her seemingly unruly and unruly, she won't be able to keep herself safe." Princess Gao Yang said worriedly.
Wu Meiniang smiled confidently: "Don't worry! I have been in business for the past few years, what kind of people have not been in contact with? Actually, I have people under her hand that are more difficult to tame than her. Isn't it all safe? I can’t control Su Lianqing, a gangster woman in a small area. How can I manage such a big family business?"
Qin Mubai's heartfelt gratification and admiration: Wu Meiniang is Wu Meiniang! In history, she has controlled the entire world! Su Lianqing, who is just a mere word, is indeed not under her words.
It seems that I am really worried!
Perhaps, Su Lianqing met Wu Meiniang, and he really found a suitable place and destination. In this vast crowd, it is really not so easy to meet a boss who can control and control her and give her a sense of security.
"It's just that... Su Lianqing knows too much about me. Compare it to a small building in the suburbs and Chen Yan, to Li You, to a killer sister with drug sores. Tell these two women what you want. Listen, that's all the disaster of Halley's comet hitting the earth!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel tight, "No wonder this old lady has a leisurely and calm expression and is not worried that the boss will not treat her well. It turns out. , Because she squeezed the big handle of my backstage boss in her hand! It seems that in the future, I will have to coax her and seal her mouth... depressed!"
"Mu Bai, what are you thinking about? As soon as you enter the door, you are in a trance, worrying about it?" Wu Meiniang asked curiously and caringly.
"It's okay." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I have been too busy these past two days and I am a little tired. I want to sit down and have a quiet meal now."
"What are you waiting for, please!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "I will let the kitchen arrange the dinner right away."
"No, no need, Mei Niang!" Princess Gao Yang hurriedly said, "I still have something'important' to ask Mu Bai, or else, let him accompany me to the emperor's house for dinner. Eat it?...Sorry, Mei Niang, I will take him away as soon as he comes back, hee hee! I beg you to relax!"
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness has spoken, how can I not agree?"
At this moment, Xue Rengui came over with a baby child in his arms, and said with joy and gratitude: "Wu Dongjia, thank you for taking care of Zhu Jing, mother and son are safe, and the son is white and fat!"
"Let me take a look." Qin Mubai leaned over and took a look, teasing his little nose, the kid burst into tears suddenly. Qin Mubai couldn't help but laughed: "This kid has a bad temper, haha! Brother Xue, he will definitely be stronger than you in the future!"
"Man, a temper is not necessarily a bad thing." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "Brother Xue, give your son a name!"
Xue Rengui smiled straightforwardly, and said: "If you have a bad temper, it is easy to offend people and easy to be bad. Then I will give him a neutral name and call him-Xue Na!"
"Need?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. "Do you want him to be as stupid as you?"
"Uh..." Xue Rengui laughed awkwardly, "If it's not right, please ask General Qin and Wu Dong's family to help you think about it, you two are more knowledgeable."
"Huh, it means this princess is ignorant? You dull elm brain, you offended this princess at once!" Princess Gao Yang grinned and cursed, "And Xue Na, who grows up like you What's so dull?"
"No, no, Weichen never meant this... Your Royal Highness, please forgive me!" Xue Rengui couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"Xue Ne is pretty good." Wu Meiniang nodded and smiled, "As the saying goes, great wisdom is like foolishness and skillfulness if clumsy. Nervous, epee has no edge, hides clumsiness, introverted, and has a general demeanor. In my opinion, Brother Xue is the real A smart man who is both humble and connotative. I really hope that your son will have your demeanor and talent in the future."
Wu Meiniang said that Xue Rengui's face was red, and he smiled awkwardly: "Wu Dong family is still very talented and knowledgeable. Xue is a stubborn man, what kind of demeanor and talent is there? But Wu Dong family only has this. It makes sense, Schneider, the name is good, so let's make it!"
"Okay, congratulations on having a good son. Remember to have a banquet next day, and invite us to celebrate together!" Qin Mubai smiled.
"Definitely!" Xue Rengui nodded gratefully, "After Zhuo Jing typhoid is recovered, I will definitely invite everyone to come to a banquet to celebrate!"
"Okay, we should go, Mu Bai." Princess Gao Yang couldn't wait, she smiled and stuck out her tongue at Wu Meiniang, "Mei Niang, let's go now, will you be angry?"
"No, go!" Wu Meiniang nodded and smiled generously.
"Goodbye, then!" After that, Princess Gao Yang took Qin Mubai and left, directly out of Wu Meiniang's house.
Wu Meiniang stood on the spot and wrinkled her brows to ponder: This girl, strange and strange, how to leave suddenly, is not like her usual style. Did she realize something and ask Qin Mubai privately to ask her understanding? ...Don't be Su Lianqing talking nonsense with a big mouth, let her hear the clue?
"Come here." Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang's face was slightly dark, and she called.
A maid came and asked: "What's the boss' order?"
"Tell Su Lianqing to come to my room."
"Yes!..."
Qin Mubai was pulled out by Princess Gaoyang, and of course he realized the abnormality of Princess Gaoyang, and felt a little nervous.
However, Princess Gao Yang always smiled with excitement and joy. She refused to let him ride a horse. She drove him directly into the princess's car, but instead of going to Jiangxia Wang, she ordered the coachman to go to the river.
"Ling'er, what are you doing to the riverside at this time?" Qin Mubai asked.
Princess Gao Yang snuggled up on him quietly, and took a long breath of relief, and said: "I want to talk to you quietly for a while, no others, can't you?"
"Of course." Qin Mubai had to reply.
Princess Gaoyang didn't speak any more along the way, but quietly leaned on Qin Mubai's arm and closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.
Qin Mubai felt that she seemed to have a lot of thoughts, with many things brewing in her mind, waiting for a while to talk to herself.
The coachman drove the carriage to the bank of the Han River, and stopped at a river bank with grassy and quiet surroundings. When the two got out of the car, Princess Gao Yang took off her shoes, and walked cautiously on the green grass beside the river with her bare white feet, with a shallow smile on her face, her jaw down, thoughtful.
"What are you thinking, Linger?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Mu Bai, are you hiding something from me?" Princess Gao Yang carried her two shoes, kicked the grass gently, and asked in a low voice.
"No, what can I hide from you?" Qin Mubai's heart jumped and smiled deliberately, "Are you still jealous?"
"You know I'm not referring to this aspect of things." Princess Gao Yang was uncharacteristically, neither acting like a baby nor acting, but said softly, "I know, you must have something to hide from me."
"Really not." Qin Mubai said affirmatively.
Princess Goyang shook her head and smiled.
Qin Mubai's heart suddenly became bottomless. This girl, who usually seems heartless, is actually like a mirror. Her expression like this is enough to show that she is quite sure of her guess...
"You all treat me as a child, coax me and lie to me, thinking I am a big fool and don't know anything." Princess Gao Yang was not angry, nor did she mean to laugh at herself, she was face-to-face With a smile, he said calmly, "In fact, most of the time, I don't mind if you treat me as a child, especially you. Because every time like this, you love me and love me very much. But, this doesn't It doesn’t mean I really don’t know anything and don’t think about anything. Mu Bai, you must understand what I’m talking about, right?"
"I never thought you were stupid." Qin Mubai said, "Heart is like a mirror but is silent. In fact, you are smarter than most people."
"Hehe!" Princess Gao Yang laughed twice and said, "Then tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
"I really don't know what's the matter, I have many things that you don't know!" Qin Mubai is still trying to make a guise, "Or, would you remind me?"
"Do you think I want to ask about your romantic affairs between men and women? I'm not interested, vulgar!" Princess Gao Yang pouted and said, "I don't care how many women you have, just don't let me It’s okay to know not to let me see. I can’t see and don’t bother me. What I want to ask is...what happened in the last two days? Why did you and the emperor, my brother, my uncle, and Wu Meiniang and Su Lian These people are all mysterious? You must have something to hide from me, right? Also, this matter must be related to me, right?"
"No." Qin Mubai said decisively.
"Then there must be something!" Princess Gao Yang lifted her lips, blinked her big eyes and stared at Qin Mubai, and said, "Every time you lie, you will be very righteous and righteous. Yan', the expression will become unnatural, and the eyes will look elsewhere instead of looking directly into my eyes."
"Uh!..." Qin Mubai was taken aback and swallowed, "No, you observe so carefully? Have I lied in front of you before?"
"No." Princess Gao Yang cut her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly and looked like a young man, and said leisurely, "I cheated you just now. But judging from your reaction and expression, I was right. You You are lying!"
"I...damn!" Qin Mubai called it wrong!
It's really messy to care! Unexpectedly... I actually fell into the hands of a 15 or 16 year old girl! Gao Yang, Gao Yang, I really underestimated your IQ before!
"Then tell me quickly, what else are you hiding?" Princess Gao Yang turned around, raised her head slightly, and whispered in a sincere and expectant voice, "Mu Bai, you have to believe me. I am already an adult. I have experienced many things that women of the same age have not experienced, including life and death. What else is unacceptable and unbearable for me? I feel uncomfortable if you hide this from me, you know? I feel that you don’t respect me."
"I didn't mean to disrespect you..." At this point, Qin Mubai knew that it was impossible to prevaricate.
This girl is so smart. Even if she didn't tell her, she would find a way to learn the truth from other places. Don't look at her usually like a Martha who only knows how to have fun and doesn't care about anything. But once she decides what she is determined to do, she will be determined to get it done. And at this time, the "great wisdom and courage" she showed was enough to surprise anyone!
For example, she would rather die than marry into the house, pretending to be mad and stupid looking for a living, just like me, Qin Mubai.
"Say it!" Princess Gao Yang looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, and said softly, "Is the matter related to my brother and my uncle? In the past few days, you have disappeared, and neither will my uncle. Now, even my brother is avoiding me. You are all too abnormal. I guess, right?"
Qin Mubai sighed, staring at Princess Gao Yang's eyes that are as clear as a green rock stream, shining with wisdom and spirituality, and nodded: "Yes."
