Wu Meiniang sent a maid to invite Qin Mubai, saying that it was time for breakfast, and then went to Zheng Anshun's house for an appointment. Qin Mubai was about to take Pang Fei and the Hundred Horse Guards together, while Su Lianqing took the sisters of the Tantai family and went elsewhere, saying that he was about to start "secret training" and asked Qin Mubai to take his place. She went to Wu Meiniang to ask for leave.
Qin Mubai and his party arrived at the back house of "Qinxian Business" where Wu Meiniang lived, and heard the laughter of women in the hall from a distance. With Liu as the core, Wu Meiniang, Princess Gao Yang, and Shuang'er accompanied him, as well as several servants of Princess Gao Yang and capable women under Wu Meiniang. There were more than ten people, all of them women.
Qin Mubai brought all men. There were more than 30 people in total. After breakfast, Zheng Anshun sent a housekeeper to invite them. The crowd drove off to Zheng Anshun Villa in the outskirts of Xiangyang.
Leaving the county seat to the outskirts of the city, it suddenly became clear. There is the mighty water of the Han River in the front, the cascading Luoying mountains behind, and the majestic Yangdi Mausoleum faintly visible in the distance. The horseshoe is brisk and the bells are clear and happy, and the group is in a good mood.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Mother Liu took Wu Meiniang and rode in the same car, while Princess Gaoyang rode in the same car with Shuang'er. Qin Mubai and his party all rode horses and followed by.
Half walked, Liu opened the car curtain and waved to Qin Mubai who was on the side: "Sanlang, come here!"
"What's the matter, mother?" Qin Mubai asked, riding a horse.
"Come on, you get in the car!" Mother said with a smile.
Qin Mubai smiled: "No need. This is almost here, I will ride a horse!"
"Oh, you boy, if you ask you to come up, you will come up!" Liu said impatiently.
"Okay!" Qin Mubai got off the horse and handed the horse to the guard to lead the horse. He did not stop the carriage, and jumped up like an ape lightly, but surprised the coachman driving the horse. Surprised.
In the car, Wu Meiniang's blush was flushing, her eyes were full of spring, and her head lowered a little bit shyly.
Qin Mubai wanted to laugh when she looked at her like this, so she can act! Who would believe that Wu Meiniang is a charming little wife?
"San Lang, come and sit here!" The carriage was very wide, and the mother pulled Qin Mubai and sat down beside her, while Wu Meiniang was on the other side.
"What's the matter, mother, so mysterious?" Qin Mu asked with a smile. But one hand extremely dishonestly crossed her mother's back and reached Wu Meiniang's side, just holding her hand. Wu Meiniang shrank her hand in surprise, and immediately squeezed him again, her nails intentionally pinched him, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.
"Weiniang told Meiniang, this marriage contract has been promised for a few years, and it's time to pass." Liu said, "Look at Meiniang, a girl who goes in the wind and rain , It’s not easy to manage a big family business! You are her man, so you have to be a little worried. Although the emperor has ordered you to marry Princess Gaoyang in March next year, we cannot object to this matter. However, you and Mei My mother’s wedding can’t be delayed any longer, have you heard?"
Qin Mubai felt that Wu Meiniang held his hand tightly again, and there was a layer of moist, fine sweat.
"What does Yiniang mean?"
When Liu heard this, he lowered his voice and smiled awkwardly, and said: "The wedding date can be a little later than Princess Gaoyang, but...Why let Mei Niang be pregnant with your child first!"
"Ah?!" Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang were taken aback.
"What's your name!" Liu deliberately scowled, "What's all the fuss about!"
"Auntie, this...this is not good!" Wu Meiniang really blushed now, to the root of her neck.
"What's the matter here." Liu said calmly and leisurely, "Back then, I had only given birth to Mu Bai to marry his father. Who ever said a word?"
"Uh..." Qin Mubai was dumb and murmured, "Mother, you are you, Mei Niang is Mei Niang, this kind of thing..."
"San Lang, Mei Niang, listen to me!" Liu said, trying to squeeze the two hands together, and the two hurriedly retracted their hands, causing Liu to smile, and then they bothered him. Holding hands together, he said earnestly, "Princess Gaoyang, it was the emperor's marriage, and no one is bigger than her. But the three of us opened the skylight in front of her to speak up. Although Princess Gaoyang is smart and noble, she is not competent. The mistress of the family. Especially Saburo is now becoming more and more accomplished. From now on, my Qin family will be a big clan. The mistress of the big clan must be a woman like Mei Niang. Wei Niang is not to look down on Princess Gaoyang, but she herself... Obviously, he is still a young child. Saburo, Mei Niang is your good helper, understand?"
"I know." Qin Mubai nodded, "But what does it have to do with... the child? This is a long way off!"
"Nonsense!" Liu's reprimanded, "As the saying goes, mothers are expensive. If Mei Niang can give you an eldest son first, then although she is a side room, her status must be honored. Princess Gao Yang is righteous. The facts about the room cannot be changed, but Mei Niang can’t be crushed by her, understand?"
Qin Mubai pressed his forehead and shook his head dumbfoundedly: "Mother, you think too much! I don't want my own backyard to be in constant civil war all day long!"
"Yes, aunt..." Wu Meiniang also blushed and said softly, "Princess Gao Yang and I have a very good relationship, just like sisters. Princess Gao Yang is not the kind of woman who likes to intrigue and narrow-minded. Mei Niang can’t be a villain... Auntie doesn’t need to worry too much. She accepted the reality of the side room very early. Otherwise, she wouldn’t wait for Mu Bai until today. Wasn’t auntie also a side room? The preferential treatment of Lord Yi and the respect of the Qin family? It doesn’t matter, Mei Niang, like aunt, doesn’t care about this kind of fame."
"Hey, you kids..." Liu shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Okay! You don't care about your affairs for your mother. You mother has no knowledge or ability. She only knows one thing, that is— -Saburo, whether it is Princess Gaoyang or Wu Meiniang, you can't treat one of you! Your family and talent are prosperous, you remember!"
"I see, mother..." Qin Mubai took a long breath, looked at each other with Wu Meiniang, and laughed bitterly together.
Zheng Anshun’s villa in the courtyard has arrived. Qin Mubai stopped and got out of the car. Zheng Anshun had already personally greeted the entrance of the courtyard and stood upright with his hands.
Qin Mubai immediately bowed his hand in reply, saying that Brother Zheng, Lao, personally greeted him. Zheng Anshun smiled politely, saying that it was the first time I bought this house in Xiangyang to entertain foreign guests. Only Brother Qin and Guibao's family were worthy of being received by Zheng personally.
This is arrogant, but not arrogant.
Zheng Anshun’s Zhuangyuan is very large, and there is a large mountain forest of fruit trees, which can even hunt and garrison. A mansion is located on the top of the mountain, surrounded by white clouds, like a palace in heaven.
"Tasteful, will enjoy!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but blurt out praise.
Zheng Anshun smiled and said: "Due to the appreciation and sharing of Brother Qin, the boringness here has been swept away and a bit of romantic aura. In the past, a certain person of Zheng guarded the Ruoda Zhuangyuan, feeling like a person, a city. Unspeakable loneliness and loneliness."
"Quis is noble and peaceful." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, although you are a man in business, you are a master of dust."
"Brother Qin laughed. Zheng is a vulgar vulgar person." Zheng Anshun smiled modestly, but there was a somewhat relieved look between his eyebrows.
The group walked to the mansion on the top of the mountain, and even Princess Gao Yang was amazed: "Wow, what a delicate and elegant bamboo building!"
It turns out that this big palace-like house is all made of bamboo. I can't see it from a distance, but when I get closer, I realize that the first piece of bamboo and wood has been polished very delicately, and it can reflect people like a mirror. The furnishings in the room are not as magnificent as imagined. On the contrary, they are quite plain and elegant. There are occasionally a few calligraphy and paintings. It is not a masterpiece of priceless masterpieces, but Zheng Anshun's own works.
"I love bamboo." Zheng Anshun smiled, "There are few bamboos in Guan, but there are more in the south. So I deliberately asked the master craftsmen to make a large bamboo building, and there is a bamboo forest outside the building. Early spring Qingming At that time, I personally dug up some spiky young bamboo shoots and stewed it on the game preserved in the winter snow season. The world's best taste!"
"I will enjoy it!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Baked pork stewed with spring bamboo shoots, this is a famous dish in Xiangyang. King Wu and I loved this dish the most when we were in Xiangyang."
While talking, everyone took their seats. The seating order was the same as when he was at Wu Mei's family. Zheng Anshun, regardless of the distinction between the host and the guest, invited Liu to the upper position. After the tea and snacks were served, Zheng Anshun also personally played a guzheng, which made Qin Mubai and the others applaud.
"Speaking of King Wu." Zheng Anshun sat close to Qin Mubai and said, "I heard that he went to Goguryeo. I don't know what the situation is now?"
Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows: "I don't know. Almost when I left for Beijing from Lanzhou, he left for Goguryeo. Since then, there is no news of him."
Zheng Anshun was silent for a moment, and looked at Qin Mubai with a deep smile: "Brother Qin, what do you think of... King Wu?"
"How about what?" Qin Mubai asked back.
Zheng Anshun smiled and said: "At the top of the court, the crown prince and the king of Wei have been smashed, and they have reached a fierce state. King Wu invited himself to leave Beijing and took a man who was responsible for his life. I went to Goguryeo for an errand...If you are not a brave man, you can't do it!"
Qin Mubai glanced at the people in the hall. They were all drinking tea and chatting and resting, and then whispered: "Are you trying to say that Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong Er is peaceful outside?"
"The hero sees the same thing." Zheng Anshun smiled slightly, and did not avoid this sensitive topic, and said, "Wu Wang has great ambitions, both civil and military, and he is a generation of heroes. Unfortunately, he was born at an untimely time. Aspirations are hard to pay!"
"How to say?" Qin Mubai asked curiously. In the past, Zheng Anshun had never discussed political affairs with him. However, the Zheng family, the richest household in Datang, has never been far away from politics. Zheng Anshun is a bystander, perhaps more knowledgeable than ordinary politicians.
Zheng Anshun smiled and said: "Snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains. But the premise is that this person is a fisherman. Qin brother, what do you think?"
Qin Mubai nodded with a smile, not commenting on it, and thought in his heart: Zheng Anshun's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head. Li Kekong has ambitious ambitions, but his concubine status created great difficulty for him in the end. Even if the crown prince and the king of Wei finally lose in the fight, it will be difficult for Li Ke in the end!
No, is there another Jin Wang Li Zhi? ! ——In history, Emperor Gaozong who really took over Li Shimin's Jiangshan!
