Chapter 327: Return to Xiangyang
The boat docked, and Qin Mubai helped his mother get off the boat first. When my feet touch the ground, I feel a little steady. After all, people belong to the land, and they are a little floating under their feet when they take a boat for days.
The people of Xiangyang have also seen a lot of this kind of single-ship boat docked at Baguidu, and the hundred horsemen guards are also wearing civilian clothes, so people just guess which rich family may be coming. At most, I glanced at it twice, and I didn't pay attention to it.
Pang Fei was excited to welcome the riverbank, regardless of the mud and cold winter on the riverbank, he shook off his robe and knelt down on his knees and bowed with his head on the ground, "Students welcome Mrs. Tai, welcome the teacher!" ”
"Hurry up, you don't have to be so polite." Qin Mubai stepped forward to pull him up, looked at him carefully, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, Pang Fei, you're done." ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Although Pang Fei tried his best to stay calm, he still couldn't hide his excitement, and stepped forward to salute the Liu family, saluted Princess Gaoyang and Shuang'er, and then greeted the hundred horsemen one by one.
Qin Mubai saw Su Lianqing standing aside in an old-fashioned manner, looking at him lukewarmly with his hands crossed, so he walked up, "Old Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are getting younger and younger." ”
Su Lianqing was immediately angry, and snorted twice in a row: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" ”
"Do you have the ability to spit out two sticks for me?" Qin Mubai smiled, "What about Mei Niang? ”
"Waiting at home!" Su Lianqing pursed her lips, glanced at Princess Gaoyang, who was holding the Liu family left and right with Shuang'er, and said curtly, "You are really merry and happy, leave the Wu Dong family alone in Xiangyang and don't ask, aren't you afraid that her red apricot will come out of the wall?" ”
Qin Mubai picked the corners of his mouth and smiled easily: "If I don't have any confidence at all, I am also worthy of being a charming man?" ”
"Shh Su Lianqing sneered, "According to what you mean, except for you, it is impossible for Mei Niang to like other men?" There won't be any other man to mess with Mei Niang? ”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If a woman like Mei Niang doesn't have other men to like or mess with, then it's hell." But I have faith in her. ”
"I don't know what your faith is." Su Lianqing said very angrily, "If there is a man who is ten million times better than you, and if you don't pursue Wu Meiniang without dying in the heart of the Yellow River, I think you can still sit still!" ”
Qin Mubai smiled even happier: "Such a man does not exist in the world. ”
"I'm not ashamed!" Su Lianqing said annoyedly, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" Now Mei Niang is around, but there is one more! Judging from the countless eyes of the old lady, this man is more phoenix than a sparrow compared to you! ”
Qin Mubai twisted his brows slightly, and looked sideways at Su Lianqing, "Zheng Anshun? ”
"Huh?" This was Su Lianqing's surprise, "You actually know? How's it going, are you in a hurry, are you panicking? ”
Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai smiled easily and said, "Then I should be more relieved." ”
"Why?" Su Lianqing asked puzzled.
"Because I not only have confidence in Wu Meiniang, but also in Zheng Anshun." Qin Mubai said, "It is impossible for Wu Meiniang to go out of the wall, and Zheng Anshun is a true gentleman." ”
"I'm talking nonsense, I'm too lazy to tell you." Su Lianqing was bored, glanced at Qin Mubai angrily, and said in a loud voice, "I have already sent someone to ride back to report to the owner, she should be preparing a feast to pick up the wind and wash the dust for your family." Don't blame her for not coming to greet her in person, after all, she is a big girl, not a cheeky man like Pang Fei. ”
"I'm not narrow-minded enough to do that." Qin Mubai glanced back at Princess Gaoyang and the others, who were chatting with Pang Fei with a smile, gestured to Su Lianqing and asked her to step aside, and said in a low voice, "I will introduce a business to you." ”
Su Lianqing suddenly felt happy in her heart, the business introduced by Qin Mubai must be a good business, so she said quickly and alertly: "Say!" ”
Qin Mubai leaned into Su Lianqing's ear and said a few words quickly.
Su Lianqing turned her head and stared at Qin Mubai, and shouted with some annoyance: "The old lady has already washed her hands and withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, this is doing this kind of scourge of the little man." Find someone else! ”
"Then you're not going to do it?" Qin Mubai pouted indifferently and smiled, "I took care of you when I saw that you were an acquaintance, it's not easy to find someone?" When I didn't say. ”
"You wait." Su Lianqing's eyes flickered, she bit her lip and said, "You say it first, what's the benefit of the old lady afterwards?" ”
Qin Mubai asked rhetorically: "What do you want most now?" ”
"I want to be a really good man, marry my wife, and have children to live. It doesn't have to be too rich, it can't be too poor. Su Lianqing blinked her blurred eyes, which always shone like foxes on weekdays, and said with a rare and somewhat sincere attitude, "You have to be a good man who doesn't care about my past." ”
Qin Mubai twisted his brows, hugged his elbow with one hand, touched his chin glowing with blue with the other, and nodded, "Originally, you wanted to get married?" It seems that this errand is really not good for you to do. ”
"I can help you find someone to arrange it secretly." Su Lianqing quickly answered, "You are definitely not as good at doing this kind of thing as me." Moreover, you are in the light, and I am in the dark. ”
"That's why I'm looking for you." Qin Mubai looked at her sideways, "The manpower must be able to reassure me, and all your actions must be done according to my assignment, and there must be no trace of outrage and misconduct." ”
"No problem." Su Lianqing answered crisply and neatly, and her usual frivolous expression and eyes were replaced by competence.
"After the deed is completed, I will be responsible for arranging the rest of your life." Qin Mubai looked at her with a smile and said, "Whether you have a crush on the prime minister and general, or a beggar and a homeless person, whether you want a mansion in Chang'an or a field in Xiangyang, or even the future of your children, I can take care of it." ”
Su Lianqing took a deep breath and nodded slowly. Looking at Qin Mubai's eyes, there was a hint of panic.
has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of characters. Officialdom shopping malls, black and white rivers and lakes, all living beings in the world are cold. All these made her understand a truth, the sky will not fall copper plates, and the more generous the reward, the greater the risk.
"Tell me, what will happen if I mess things up?" Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and glanced at Princess Gaoyang and the others, and said in a low voice, "The old lady has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and she has always confessed first, and then bought and sold. ”
Qin Mubai nodded, with the kind of harmless smile on his face, and said, "Since it is a business in the rivers and lakes, let's talk about an ugly thing in front." If you're out of line or out of line, or if you've leaked something you shouldn't have leaked...... Then let's kill ourselves! ”
Su Lianqing took another deep breath of the clammy and cold air of the Eight Ghost Crossing, and nodded with a solemn expression: "It's fair." It seems that the old lady's life is still worth some money. Okay, I'll take this business! ”
At this time, Princess Gaoyang, the Liu family and the others had already walked over, and Qin Mubai said briefly, "You go to find someone first." I am not to let anyone know about this except me. ”
"Understood."
Princess Gaoyang walked over, glanced at Su Lianqing, hurriedly pulled Qin Mubai to the side, and said in a low voice: "Mubai, why are you muttering to this old witch endlessly, but don't follow her way!" Where are we going now? ”
Qin Mubai smiled, and Pang Fei stepped forward and said, "Teacher, the student did not alarm the military government and the yamen, but only rented a clean and elegant courtyard in the county for rest, and the eating and drinking utensils were arranged by the students themselves. Teachers can rest assured. ”
"That's a good job." Qin Mubai nodded in praise and said, "You bring these hundred horse brothers over to settle and entertain." Our family went to Mei Niang's place first. ”
"Yes." Pang Fei clenched his fists and promised.
"Do you want to go to Mei Niang? Okay! Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, I really miss her!" ”
Shuang'er laughed jokingly on the side: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you eat it?" ”
"Of course not!" Princess Gaoyang raised her face proudly, "Mei Niang, that's my person!" ”
The group was speechless, and many people laughed secretly.
Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and patted her back: "Let's go!" Don't pretend to be stupid here, it's a princess, and you don't choose what to say! ”
The boat ride was too long, and Qin Mubai and the others were reluctant to take the carriage and horse anymore, so they insisted on walking on foot. He walked into Xiangyang City from the Eight Ghost Ferry and entered from Beicheng Port City.
The market is lively, and the most fish and shrimp are the most common in the business and travel south department stores. Liu and Shuang'er came to Xiangyang for the first time, they felt quite fresh, and they were very interested in shopping and playing all the way, and the fatigue of the journey should be forgotten. 、
Princess Gao Yang walked close to Qin Mubai and said in a low voice: "Mubai, I have always wanted to ask you a question. ”
"What's the question, ask?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to leave Chang'an for a trip?" Princess Gaoyang said confusedly, "You don't care about Li Yuanchang's affairs?" ”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Some iron should be beaten while it is hot, and some special ones will be cooled down to dry the hammer." ”
"Are you trying to divert Li Yuanchang's attention and then secretly attack?" Princess Gao Yang said in surprise.
"Hmm." Qin Mubai nodded lightly and said, "Things are more sensitive, and they can't be solved by conventional methods, so take your time!" - Now that you've arrived in Xiangyang, don't think about it anymore and have fun! ”
"It's good!" Princess Gaoyang's child's heart was revealed, and she immediately smiled, and smiled very weirdly, "I'm thinking now, I'll definitely sleep with Mei Niang in my arms at night in a while, what can you do?" ”
Qin Mubai blinked, deliberately glanced at the maid behind Princess Gaoyang and Su Lianqing not far ahead, and said, "I can hold more people." Especially here in Xiangyang, there are many more crying and shouting to hug me. ”
"You dare!"
At the gate of Qin Xian's business, Wu Meiniang stood within three feet of the gate, smiling and putting her hands on her lower abdomen, waiting patiently.
Zheng Anshun was standing three feet outside the door, standing with his hands long, squinting slightly at the crowd in front of him, and waiting.
Seeing Zheng Anshun, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but shake her head helplessly and laugh. This gentleman who is warm and polite is far from being able to compare with ordinary people when he is stubborn. If it weren't for the extraordinary open-mindedness and openness, who would stand here waiting for their "great rival" to come?
Wu Meiniang knew that Zheng Anshun and Qin Mubai had a very close personal relationship, and with Li Ke, the three of them could be described as having a similar smell or sympathy for each other. But at this moment, she couldn't help but admire Zheng Anshun's open-mindedness and bearing.
Very human, really extraordinary.
"Here we are." Zheng Anshun said lightly, looked back at Wu Meiniang and smiled, "There are also his mother and sister-in-law, as well as Princess Gaoyang." Mei Niang, which one will you worship first? ”
Wu Meiniang blinked, "Of course, my mother-in-law." ”
