Xue Rengui didn't return from the out, so Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang sat in the Accord for a while, listening to the music and eating refreshments, chatting and talking.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Mei Niang, now your two brothers are very well-behaved!" A master outside, operating the world's first wine; A main house, taking care of the affairs of the house. You, the younger sister, are the shopkeeper and just play around. ”

"It's not that easy!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "Business is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the business can only get bigger and bigger." I don't have to worry about the world's first wine, but there are more businesses waiting for me to cook. ”

"When you say that, I really remember." Qin Mubai said, "Last time you did such a great thing in Jiangzhou, the imperial court hasn't said anything to you!" Haha, although it is not extravagant to expect to repay the peach, businessmen never invest in vain. How, what benefits do you want to order? ”

"Hey, hey!" Wu Meiniang smiled sheepishly and said, "Last time, I mainly went to see you." On a whim, I think of disaster relief and comfort to the army, most of which is also to help you manage your reputation. It's just that if the emperor can give a little benefit, it will be great. Mu Bai: Do you know why Zheng Fengchi and the Zheng family became the first giant businessman in Chang'an and the richest man in the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Of course I do. That's because since the Wude Dynasty, he has been closely connected with the imperial court and is an official businessman. Qin Mubai said, "Datang implements the monopoly of salt and iron in the imperial court, but when it is implemented, it is also necessary to designate merchants to operate the cuisine as an agent. And the Zheng family took over the right to sell official salt in the Tang Dynasty, and also engaged in the trading of silk cloth grain. This kind of business can't be done by ordinary people. First, the imperial court does not allow it, and secondly, without the support of the royal family and the imperial court, no one has that strength. What, do you want to emulate Zheng Fengchi? ”

"I don't have that much ambition, and it's impossible to replace it. I just want to do better, step by step. Wu Meiniang said, "Now I don't expect to get the right to operate materials such as salt, iron, silk cloth and grain and horses, but if there is a plaque of 'Datang Yishang', then my Wu business name will be worth a hundred times." In the business world, it will have greater fame, credibility and appeal. This is more precious than rewarding me with a hundred gold and a thousand silver and ten thousand acres of fertile land. ”

"You're really smart, and you're a genius in business." Qin Mubai laughed and said, "This plaque is indeed worth thousands of gold and silver." Don't worry, when Yu Suiliang came to me to discuss whether to accept your donation, he vaguely mentioned the matter of 'Datang Yishang'. I believe that after he returns to the court, he will go to Zhang Luo. Yu Suiliang is a smart person, and he is the most capable of self-interest without harming him. He handled this matter, and I believe he will do it with his heart, without our urging. ”

"Hee-hee, that's very good." Wu Meiniang smiled happily, "I just like to deal with smart people." When I arrived in Jiangzhou, if I hadn't known that Chu Suiliang was temporarily acting as the assassin of Jiangzhou, I would not have handed over the donation to him. Because I know that he is a close minister of the emperor like you, and he will not look up and see you when he looks down, so how can he sell you a little face. As soon as I give this donation, I don't need to say it, he will get me what I want. ”

"Tsk, who else said, 'No treachery, no business'? Mei Niang, you are really cunning as a fox! Qin Mubai said.

"you! Is it easy for me to make some money? Wu Meiniang said, "I neither steal nor rob, I do reasonable business, neither bribery nor stealing, I am above board, and I make clean money!" ”

"Yes, yes, you're smart and capable, aren't you?" Qin Mubai laughed.

"Nasty!"

After a long time, Xue Rengui came back, and it was almost lunch time.

After coming back, Xue Rengui went straight to the firewood room in the backyard, and no one called him, so he wheeled up the axe to chop wood. There was a huge pile of dry firewood under the eaves next to the house, and I heard the servant who was the first wine in the world say that it was all chopped by Xue Rengui this morning. In just half an hour, he chopped out the firewood that it took people to chop for more than half a day, which really scared some people.

Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang came to the backyard together and saw Xue Rengui sweating there and chopping wood. A short firewood knife, a knife down, the thick leg of the wooden stick neatly split in two, Wu Meiniang's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

"I can't see it, Brother Xue was born with Si Swenwen, and he is so born with divine power!"

"Rare and weird." Qin Mubai walked over with a smile and called, "Brother Xue! ”

Xue Rengui hurriedly put down the firewood knife and bowed his hand: "General Qin, the big owner." ”

"Brother Xue doesn't have to be so angry. By the way, who asked you to chop wood here, it's really unreasonable! You're my guest! Wu Meiniang shouted a little angrily.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "The big boss doesn't have to be angry, no one called him to chop wood, he was willing to do it." If you have nothing to do, you might as well help do something, and it will be regarded as a training exercise. ”

Qin Mubai nodded with a smile on his face: "Brother Xue, clean up, let's go to the cold house for a drink today!" ”

"This ...... Dare to harass in Xia'an? Xue Rengui said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, come on!" Qin Mubai smiled casually, "It's rare to be idle today, so I remembered to invite Brother Xue to come over to the house." Since he has already come to Chang'an, how can Brother Xue not go to see his father? ”

"Lingzun Qin Shubao?" Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

"Exactly." Qin Mubai smiled, "My father also wants to see Xue Rengui, the Longmen who is good at making Fang Tian draw halberds!" ”

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Xue Rengui didn't say a word now, and simply agreed with a neat fist.

Qin Mubai was happy in his heart, and said secretly: Sure enough, my father is more attractive to him...... Xue Rengui is a martial artist who pursues the pinnacle, and my father is a world-famous god of war, which is not surprising.

Xue Rengui went back to the room to clean up his clothes and makeup, Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and said, "I won't go, I'll stay here and take care of the wine shop, I haven't been here for a few days." ”

"How can you not go?" Qin Mubai pretended to be stunned and said, "I'm going to invite you today!" ”

"What? No way! Hmph, hum, you don't know when I do, you're for Xue Rengui! Wu Meiniang had a small temper.

Qin Mubai smiled and said in a low voice, "He is just one of them. You, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, haven't been to my house yet? The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, how can you get in the way of not going to my house? ”

"you! Am I ugly? Wu Meiniang didn't want to be annoyed or happy, and laughed and scolded.

"Then it's decided, let's go together, stop being naughty." Qin Mubai laughed.

After a short time, Xue Rengui packed up, and the three of them went to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Mubai had told his parents earlier that he was going to have a few guests for a banquet today, so the Qin family had already prepared a good banquet and waited for it.

Uncle Qin Baorong Ma has been a horse all his life, and he takes pleasure in challenging master martial artists. In the early years, when he was charging into battle, if there was a fierce general in the enemy camp, Li Shimin sent Qin Shubao to ride forward and kill the enemy general. Qin Shubao often does not fail in his mission, and things like taking the head of the enemy general in the army are really not easy to do. However, if you encounter an opponent who can match it, you must defeat it yourself to rest assured.

is such a competitive warrior who pursues the pinnacle of the ultimate heart, which has been silent for several years. Hearing Qin Mubai talk about Xue Rengui yesterday, Qin Shubao felt that his blood was faintly boiling again.

He was looking forward to Qin Mubai bringing Xue Rengui!

Qin Mubai and the other three entered the mansion, and Qin Shubao, who was sitting in the main hall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and was full of light!

Far away, he looked Xue Rengui up and down clearly.

Perhaps it is really the same kind of people who have a special attraction to each other, and Xue Rengui also saw Qin Shubao above the main hall for the first time.

The eyes of the two looked at each other through the air, and there seemed to be electric sparks in the air.

"Born Warrior!" The two of them made such a first impression of their opponent at the same time!

As a top-notch martial artist, he has a temperament that is not angry but mighty, and a demonic aura that secretly captures people's hearts. In contrast, Qin Shubao, who has fought countless bloody battles, is more unrestrained and domineering, while Xue Rengui is a little low-key, calm and introverted.

The three of them entered the hall and greeted first.

"Dad, this is Longmen Xue Rengui." Qin Mubai was introduced first.

Xue Rengui stepped forward, lowered his eyebrows and clenched his fists and bowed: "In Xia Xue Li, meet General Qin of the Wing Kingdom!" ”

"You don't have to be so polite. As a friend of mine, he is a guest of the court. Qin Shubao nodded with a smile, "Rengui, the old man has heard San Lang praise you several times, saying that you have reached the peak of martial arts, and the old man is looking forward to it." ”

"Don't dare. It was General Qin who praised it. In front of the Duke of Yiguo, who dares to mention the four words of peak martial artist? Xue Rengui said modestly.

"Haha, don't be too modest. Sit down first, and we'll talk about that later. Qin Shubao smiled, "Mu Bai, who is this woman?" ”

Qin Mubai hurriedly said: "Father, this is ...... Wu Meiniang. ”

"Wu Zhao meets the Duke of Yiguo." The first time they met, Wu Meiniang didn't dare to be ambiguous, so she hurriedly stepped forward and fell to the ground and made a big salute.

"Oh, it's Mei Niang!" Qin Shubao saw her bowing down in a proper manner, and nodded with a little satisfaction, "Okay, you don't have to make such a big salute, just get up!" ”

"Duke Xie Yiguo." Wu Meiniang got up and stood aside with her hands down, her face flushed. It seems that the first time she came to the Qin family, she was still a little nervous.

At this time, I don't know who hurriedly informed the Liu family and Qin Shuang'er of the news. When they heard that Qin Mubai had finally brought Wu Meiniang to the house, they immediately burned the soul of the woman's gossip, and they also ran to the front hall with a smile.

Wu Meiniang's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly gave Liu a big gift again.

"Ouch, hurry up." Liu hurriedly stepped forward to personally help Wu Meiniang, took her hand and looked at it carefully, and said happily, "Look, it's really a fairy-like person!" Mei Niang, how did your mother give birth to you so beautiful and well-behaved, I am really happy! ”

"Giggles!" Qin Shuang'er laughed on the side, "Mother, seeing that you are so excited, don't scare Mei Niang!" Mei Niang...... Mmmm, you're my brother's wife, and even though I'm a little older than you, I still have to call you Sister Mei? Sister Mei, let's go to the back house to talk. Here, it's their man's world, so let's not bother with this excitement! ”

"Thank you, little sister!" Wu Meiniang was really relieved, and she was happy to leave the lobby with her. In the face of Qin Shubao, who is self-revealed, even if she is a fierce man, she will feel uncomfortable, not to mention her little daughter-in-law who has passed the house for the first time.

So, Liu and Qin Shuang'er took Wu Meiniang's hand left and right, and pulled her away with a smile.

Qin Mubai pondered in his heart: What will my mother say to Wu Meiniang? I don't deliberately pay attention to her hip size, it seems that she cares about this the most......

"Mu Bai, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and sit down with Rengui. Qin Shubao said, "Come on, have a banquet!" ”
