Chapter 151: Envy of others
Wu Meiniang's heart is like letting go of a long-suppressed boulder, and the whole person is light. After the mood is relaxed, coupled with the effect of light wine, her delicate face is even more charming. The jade-like face reflects the orange-red candlelight, and the pair of smart eyes are a little charming. If it weren't for Qin Mubai being a "battle-hardened" veteran of the love field, he would definitely be unable to sit still in this situation, and he would be ready to move.
But now in someone's assassination mansion, Meng Lang can't do it.
"I can't drink anymore, I'm dizzy......" Wu Meiniang pressed the corner of her forehead with her hand and shook her head.
"Just drink well, you don't have to get drunk. I have to hurry tomorrow! Qin Mubai said, "Go to bed and rest!" β
Wu Meiniang smiled skillfully: "Tomorrow, what kind of road?" I don't want to hurry. β
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to accompany me to Jiangzhou?" Qin Mubai smiled even more treacherously, "Could it be that I drank too much and heard it wrong?" β
Bad apple!
Wu Meiniang's heart immediately popped up with this word, and she couldn't help but want to laugh - when did I say this? β¦β¦ However, when he said this, he did save a few words. Are you finally willing to take me with you? Go to Jiangzhou, okay!
"I ...... Go to bed! Wu Meiniang didn't continue to delve into this topic with him, stood up and stretched a little, pretending to be relaxed, "I'm so sleepy!" β
"Then you can sleep." Qin Mubai sat down, without the slightest intention of leaving.
"Oh......" Wu Meiniang walked a few steps to the bed, stopped in amazement, turned around and looked at Qin Mubai embarrassedly, and said, "You...... Aren't you sleepy? β
"I'll leave when you're asleep." Qin Mubai said very calmly, "Strange place, such a big empty house, I'm worried that you are afraid." β
"Hee-hee, good!" Wu Meiniang smiled happily, walked to the side of the bed and put down the curtain, took off the robe and coat and lay down, and said, "I won't leave until I'm asleep, blow out the lights, don't make a fire." β
"Don't worry, sleep!"
"I'm asleep!"
Wu Meiniang pulled the futon over the cover, her body was a little cold and shivering for a while, but her heart was really warm.
For the first time, she felt the sense of security that a man brought to her, and felt the beauty of care. Although in the eyes of others, her teenage girl is already an amazing "strong woman", but how many people really understand her bitterness and suffering?
Although the samurai family is the founder of the country, it has declined. She herself is a concubine, and her brother does not tolerate it. After the death of their father two or three years ago, their mother and daughter were almost kicked out of the house and homeless. Since then, she has been terrified of loneliness and helplessness.
The businessman consciousness she learned from her villain father, and the experience of the past few years, have polished her character to be as tough as a man, and she is very practical. She feels that only when she has the ability is the most reliable. So she was willing to enter the palace to become a concubine, hoping to be favored by the emperor, and from then on, she could turn over and change her situation with her mother. She wants to make a lot of money to support herself and her mother, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon anymore, let alone be blasted out of the house like a dog.
She has always been extremely strong, does not admit defeat, and firmly believes that she can change everything.
But behind the strength is the loneliness and loneliness that others can't reach. A teenage woman crisscrossing shopping malls, dealing with all kinds of people every day, has faced many risks and crises, is accustomed to seeing people's hypocrisy and treachery, and is also accustomed to the world's cold eyes and contempt for a businessman - but in her heart, there is always a place that is empty.
No amount of money can fill the gap in my heart; No matter how much she is respected and praised by people, it can't change the fact that she is still lonely and lonely.
In the past, I was depressed because I was poor and bullied, but now I can feel the boundless loneliness when I stand in the crowd.
But tonight, Qin Mubai brought her a different kind of enjoyment.
Just a short sentence, or a subtle action, or a casual glance and smile, can make her heart ripple.
β¦β¦
Through the curtain, Wu Meiniang looked at Qin Mubai, who was sitting on the side under the candlelight and slowly drinking alone, and suddenly felt a little impulsive and wanted to call him over......
Come here? Why? β¦β¦
Her face suddenly became hot!
Hurriedly covering her head and face with a futon, Wu Meiniang turned sideways.
She didn't even dare to turn her head to look at Qin Mubai sitting there.
β¦β¦
The minutes ticked by, and the room was silent, except for the time of the candles burning or the slight cracking of the horn.
After a long time, Qin Mubai vaguely heard the sound of Wu Meiniang's even breathing from inside, guessing that she was probably asleep. So she gently got up and lifted the curtain and approached, bent down to tuck the empty futon for her, and then looked at Wu Meiniang carefully.
"It's definitely the most beautiful ......woman I've ever seen," Qin Mubai exclaimed in his heart.
Sleeping Beauty!
Unable to help it, Qin Mubai slowly bent down and approached her face.
In the futon, Wu Meiniang's hand tightly grabbed the quilt, and she didn't move, and she didn't let herself make any alarming moves.
She smelled a hint of wine, then a slight breath in her ears, and then felt something warm approaching her.
"Knock knock!"
Wu Meiniang felt that her heartbeat was already like a drum!
Then she felt a slight warmth on her cheeks, with a little dampness. It's very gentle, very light to wipe through.
"Heβhe kissed me?"
Hearts are in turmoil!
So much so that when Qin Mubai pulled out and left, how to blow out the light and carefully pull the door, she didn't know at all!
When she came back to her senses and hurriedly turned her head to look, there was only deep darkness left in the room......
"Badass, big badass!" Wu Meiniang sat up, stretched out her hand to cover her left cheek that had been kissed, and her heart was beating like a drum.
How can you sleep this night?
β¦β¦
In the morning, Qin Mubai came to the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion at the invitation of Chu Suiliang.
After Qin Mubai put down his words yesterday, the Jiangzhou Thorn History Mansion had officially taken over Wu Meiniang's donation. Early in the morning, Wu Meiniang had already settled dozens of truckloads of winter clothes, bedding, grain, grass and sheep, all of which had been transported to the side of the Thorn Shi Mansion. Don't look at Wu Meiniang's young age, but there are a lot of capable people under her hands. She needs to be in charge of big things, and how to do it or some small things are all up to her subordinates.
Moreover, most of the people who do these things are young and beautiful women.
When they appeared in the Assassin's Mansion, it was really a magnificent sight and became a beautiful scenery.
"General Qin, after the government sends it, it is best to transport these materials to Jishan as soon as possible." Chu Suiliang said, "It's winter, and the victims over there are waiting to use it, which is really a charcoal in the snow." Although Datang is strong and does not lack these things, it is really too busy to requisition materials and organize manpower. The Wu clan has really helped a lot this time, and this mansion should be Bingming Sheng, and ask for merit for it! β
Chu Suiliang said what the official said, but Qin Mubai understood what he meant-ask for credit for Wu Meiniang, isn't it for me Qin Mubai? This Chu Suiliang is quite good at being a man. does not harm the public, but can pretend to be a favor for the public, and it is quite smart.
"It just so happens that I'm in Jiangzhou, and I should go back to Jishan today, so I should be an escort." Qin Mubai said, "Just ask Mr. Chu to prepare manpower for me, and I will be able to set off immediately." β
"Don't worry, general, how dare you delay such an important task? Yesterday, 500 soldiers from the military government were transferred to the army, and they were ready to be dispatched by the general at any time. Chu Suiliang smiled hehehe, and then asked in an ambiguous whisper, "What about your wife, still asleep?" β
Qin Mubai smiled: "How do I know, maybe." β
The implication is that I didn't have sex with him last night.
Chu Suiliang smiled: "The general is really a person who knows etiquette and observes etiquette...... Well, let's wait a minute, and when she wakes up, we'll set off together. β
"It's fine."
Wu Meiniang tossed and turned in bed for most of the night, and only fell asleep for a while when the sky was bright. After all, it was a strange place and it was difficult to sleep soundly, and she woke up early in the morning when she heard that there were people walking back and forth in the house.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Qin Mubai's face appeared in his mind.
She hurriedly rolled over, got dressed, and opened the door.
She almost collided with someone head-on, and she couldn't help but scream.
"Did it scare you? I've never seen you so reckless. Qin Mubai stood in front of her and smiled.
"Early in the morning, scare me!" Wu Meiniang smiled, saw the thing in his hand, and asked, "Hey, what are you holding?" β
"Breakfast." Qin Mubai walked in, put a plate on the table with a plate in his hand, lifted the lid of the celadon bowl and said, "The servants didn't dare to wake you up when they saw you sleeping." I was afraid that you would miss breakfast and be hungry, so I asked the kitchen to cook you a bowl of egg noodles. Eat it hot and you'll be on your way later. β
"Egg noodles...... The olive noodles in the Jinnae area taste the best! Wu Meiniang sat down happily, picked up chopsticks and stretched out her nose to sniff in front of the bowl, "It's so fragrant!" - Have you eaten? β
"I've eaten it a long time ago." Qin Mubai smiled, "Eat it!" β
"Good!" Wu Meiniang's heart is warm, and her appetite seems to be very good. On weekdays, such a big bowl of noodles and two eggs is almost the amount she eats for three meals a day. But today, I don't know why, I ate it all until my stomach was about to swell.
Qin Mubai has been sitting next to her and watching her eat. When she finished eating, she couldn't help laughing: "How do I think you look like you came out of a starvation prison?" β
"I ...... I ......" Wu Meiniang was embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to answer - this is indeed an exaggeration, growing so big, eating so much for the first time!
"Alright, don't let me go." Qin Mubai smiled, "Your subordinates are all waiting for you at the Assassin's Mansion Treasury." There are also hundreds of soldiers and soldiers from the government, Chu Suiliang and others, as well as General Ben, all waiting for you to set off to Jishan together! β
"Hey, let's go!" Wu Meiniang got up and walked out happily, and deliberately walked to Qin Mubai's side, getting closer to him.
Qin Mubai tilted his head slightly, the two of them smiled heartily, and Qin Mubai held her soft little hand.
Walking side by side, passing through the corridor in the backyard of the Thorn Mansion, the two were intimate, envious of all those who witnessed them walking. It wasn't until they reached the treasury of the Assassin's Mansion that their hands parted.
Hundreds of people are waiting here, as well as some Cao Zuo officials such as Chu Suiliang.
Seeing Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang in and out of pairs, the expressions on their faces were quite happy and relaxed, and everyone tacitly said: What a pair of jasper people!
