Wu Meiniang entered the cave and didn't come out for a long time, Xue Rengui naturally didn't want to go back to ask or find out, so he had to stand patiently in the courtyard and chat with Qin Mubai. The rest of the retinue stood outside the courtyard and tended to the horses.

"How is Brother Xue doing?" Qin Mubai asked.

"General Hongfu, everything is okay." Xue Rengui replied with a smile and politeness.

The scenery of his ancestors, the hardships he experienced since he was a child, and the embarrassing life he has now not only urged Xue Rengui to be ambitious and diligent, but also made him develop a character that is introverted, calm, pampered, and unhappy.

"Brother Xue is out of sight when he talks like this." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You and I are the same generation, only in terms of age and position. is born in the Wang clan with a good vote, but he is not as good as a martial arts talent like Brother Xue. Brother Xue Qianlong has great ambitions in Yuan, and his achievements in the future will be above Qin. ”

The general teased. Xue Moujie is a cloth cloth and steals a living, and An has great ambitions? Xue Rengui smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "What I think about every day is to shoot a few more geese and sell them for money, and exchange them for some oil and rice to come back to feed my wife and children." ”

Qin Mubai's eyebrows raised slightly: "Is Mrs. Sister-in-law pregnant with Liujia?" ”

"The general is kind and careful, exactly."

"Congratulations to Brother Xue on becoming the father of man!" Qin Mubai laughed, "For a man, becoming a father is a completely different life. Brother Xue will definitely transfer in the future and live a prosperous life. ”

"So dare not have extravagant hopes. I only want peace for my family. Xue Rengui showed a warm and satisfied smile and said, "Although a certain family is poor, there is no adulterous man, and the daughter of a prostitute and remarried." If the ancestors accumulate virtue and ensure that my Xue family is passed on, it can be regarded as satisfying. ”

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and said in his heart: This is obviously not Xue Rengui's heart. He was vaguely revealing to me that he had no intention of becoming an official again. He was cautious, and before I could speak, he came to seal my mouth in advance. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I won't mention it, depending on how you ...... Let's see the situation on Wu Meiniang's side later.

"Yes, peace is the greatest blessing." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Even if you are sitting on a golden mountain or a very human minister, it is not as good as peace." Brother Xue has already realized the true meaning of life. ”

"Hehe, I'm smiling." Xue Rengui chatted a little absent-mindedly, glancing at the edge of the cave from time to time.

Qin Mubai knew what he wanted, after all, he was a little worried about letting a strange woman into the house to be alone with his pregnant wife. So he called: "Mei Niang, we are leaving!" ”

"Why should the general be in a hurry to leave? If you don't dislike it, you can sit in the cold house for a while, and wait for the clumsy wattle to stew a pot of goose stew to taste. In the next day, I also beat a roe deer that was fattened, and it can also be roasted together and served with wine. Xue Rengui saw that Qin Mubai had seen his thoughts, and he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly stayed with the guests.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant, do I dare to work hard?" Qin Mubai said, "I just came to hunt, and I remembered Brother Xue when I passed by, so I came to visit." Please forgive me if you may be disturbed. ”

This time, Xue Rengui was a little surprised, he thought that Qin Mubai came again, and he must have asked him to come out again. Unexpectedly, they were just passing by...... I was like that before, but I seemed to be a little self-inflicted.

As she was talking, Wu Meiniang and Liu walked out together. Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui couldn't help but be stunned neatly - why are these two still holding hands, like a pair of good sisters who know each other well? I've only known each other for a while!

"Giggles, Brother Xue, Mu Bai, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "Don't mind, Brother Xue, your wife can't lose it, hehe!" ”

The girl laughed. Xue Rengui's face turned red and he had to smile awkwardly, and he was still a little shy for a while.

"Sister Liu, don't forget!" Wu Meiniang smiled mysteriously at Liu's family, as if she was still a little reluctant to take her hand and said, "I will wait for you in Jishan County!" ”

"Miss Wu, don't worry, I will definitely not miss the appointment." Liu smiled gratefully, and nodded at Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai smiled and nodded in return, and hugged his fists at Xue Rengui and said, "Farewell, Brother Xue." ”

"Let's go." Xue Rengui cupped his fists in return, and was surprised in his heart: It has only been a short time, what did this little girl and my wife say, as if there was some agreement between the two? Odd......

"Hee-hee, it's time to say goodbye! …… Let's go, Mu Bai! After that, Wu Meiniang let go of Liu's hand and walked to Qin Mubai's side, and naturally grabbed Qin Mubai's elbow with a little pride.

"Okay, let's go." The two walked side by side, and went out of the courtyard gate and mounted their horses. Wu Meiniang also said loudly on the horse: "I'm leaving, Sister Liu!" Remember that I was waiting for you! ”

"It must be determined, the girl is easy to go, take care!" Liu walked to the courtyard gate and waved his hand, and reluctantly sent Qin Mubai and his party to disappear at the corner of the village road.

"Hey, what did you just say to that little girl?" Xue Rengui finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked.

"Come into the house with me and talk to you!" Liu was very excited and excited, and pulled Xue Rengui into the house.

On the other side, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang walked side by side, laughing loudly.

"Haha, Mei Niang, you are so talented!" Qin Mubai laughed, "How did you come up with the idea of inviting the Liu family to Chang'an?" This is simply the art of war of capturing thieves and kings, and drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle! ”

"Hee-hee! This is called prescribing the right medicine to what it likes, where do businessmen not understand this? Wu Meiniang said proudly, "If you want to make money, you have to know what people need first." It's the same as a lobbyist, I asked about the current situation of their family, and learned that the Liu family is pregnant with Rokjia and living in embarrassment. Just imagine, even if Xue Rengui can endure poverty, and the Liu family has no regrets, how can they bear to let the soon-to-be-born child suffer? The heart of a parent is usually like this! So I prescribed the right medicine and persuaded her to come out and do something, and I made it convenient. If they can easily support their families, it is simply a daily routine for them. Xue Rengui is arrogant and unwilling to yield to you, so the Liu family doesn't think so. She is a kind and honest person, and if I give her some kindness, she will be grateful to Dade for repaying me a hundredfold. Although I don't expect to repay my kindness, I want to persuade them to come to Chang'an, and it's also a good intention, isn't it? ”

"That's true." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I really underestimated you before, you can run the world's No. 1 wine so well, and you are invincible in the shopping mall, you really have something outstanding." Mei Niang, Mei Niang, I am reluctant to throw you aside in the future. You are not only my future wife, but also my wise trust! ”

"Hehe, it's not done yet, you're happy to be like this." Having said that, Wu Meiniang's joy was beyond words, and she said, "Now it's just a matter of waiting for the Liu family to persuade Xue Rengui." Looking at the situation, it seems that it is not a big problem. Mu Bai, I advise you not to be in a hurry, let Xue Rengui agree to go out immediately, let's take it slowly step by step. Settle the Liu family first, and don't worry about Xue Rengui not coming. As long as Xue Rengui comes to Chang'an, then there will be a great opportunity to play with you. As long as we move with reason, know with affection, and feel sincere, Xue Rengui will figure it out sooner or later and be willing to follow you. ”

"It's not to follow, it's to work side by side." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "With my current identity and the influence of the hundred cavalry in the army court, I don't know how many people dream of wanting to join. If I only need one attendant, why bother so much? Xue Rengui is indeed a rare talent. But I can only lead him on the road, and it is up to him to do so in the future. Of course, the best situation is that I can have a confidant who will take care of me in the future. Xue Rengui is a low-key, steady, honest and honest person, and he is a friend worth making. ”

"Liu is not bad, he is a kind person. Both husband and wife are friends worth making. Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Mu Bai, I can see that you are a little thirsty for talent now." Is it that after being an official for a long time, there is no help around you, and you feel very lonely? ”

"Sort of." Qin Mubai chuckled lightly and said, "Many things have happened in the past six months, and I am overwhelmed by one after another. Whenever I'm in trouble, I'm on my own. Although there is nothing to be afraid of, after many times, I always feel a little tired. And I had to do everything myself, which was quite tiring. Take the matter of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han last time, as an example, I was in the harem at the time, and I wanted to find someone worthy of trust to help you or comfort you, but I didn't. Since then, I've been thinking about how nice it would be if I had a good brother who could help with a two-sided knife. ”

"Your eldest brother and second brother...... How is it? Wu Meiniang said, "They often go to the world's first wine to drink two glasses, and I have some contact, but I don't know each other well." ”

"They're all very good, but they're all very limited. Moreover, the Qin family has strict family rules, and my father has always strictly demanded that we must not rely on the momentum of the family to be arrogant outside, so my two brothers are usually very low-key and cautious, and they are both people who take a step back and have no quarrel with others. Qin Mubai sighed lightly and said, "It's okay to run the family business with them, but you can't expect them to be able to help you at a critical time." In fact, after my father fell ill and retired from the temple, the Qin family was also on the road of decline, which was not as good as before. If it weren't for wanting to listen to my pipa music before, the emperor wouldn't have been to my Qin family for three or five years. ”

"That's right...... In this way, if the Qin family wants to be prosperous now, it has to rely on you? That's so tiring! Wu Meiniang wrinkled her little brows with some concern and said.

"Haha, men, you should be a little bit of a burden, it doesn't matter if you are tired, as long as you achieve something." Qin Mubai smiled, "Actually, I've had quite good luck, and I've always been satisfied." Compared to Xue Rengui, I'm more than a hundred times stronger, right? Besides, my family's Mei Niang, that's not something ordinary women can compare! In the future, you will be a good helper that no one can match."

"Hee-hee, I didn't expect you to learn to pat on the back too!"

"How can anyone who is an official not make sycophants?"

"Giggles, I like it, keep shooting!" Wu Meiniang laughed heartily.

"Okay, I'll shoot it!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly, and slapped the horse on the buttocks of the horse that Wu Meiniang was riding, and the horse was taken aback, and ran away.

"Mu Bai, you big villain, see if I don't bite you later!"

With the aftermath lingering, Wu Meiniang rode forward and rushed forward. Qin Mubai and the others laughed, and immediately rode their horses to chase after them. A group of several people hurriedly landed at Xue Rengui's house, and then went to the mountains to hunt.
