The wedding date with Princess Gaoyang is scheduled for the second day of the third month of the New Year, the auspicious day of the zodiac.

Originally, according to Qin Mubai's plan, he had to play outside until the beginning of February before going back. But just as they were about to set off for Yangzhou, an official of the household department of the imperial court came all the way to Xiangyang to find Qin Mubai, saying that the household department and Zongzheng Temple were ordered by His Majesty to prepare for a few days to finally rush to renovate Qin Mubai's bottom after the beginning of the year and use it as a wedding room. In many places, you have to ask for the opinions of the colt and the princess.

In addition, there are many complicated matters related to the arrangement of the wedding ceremony, and it is necessary for two parties to participate in it or "rehearsal", and a month may not be enough.

Therefore, please return to Beijing as soon as possible to prepare for the wedding.

Having said that, Qin Mubai didn't want to embarrass the officials of the household department and Zongzheng Temple, after all, it was not easy for people, and the imperial marriage was not a child's play, so he had to temporarily change his travel plan and go back to Chang'an.

This sudden change, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang and her mother and sister didn't feel anything, anyway, it was fun to swim all the way, Yangzhou, it doesn't matter if you go or not, there will be a great opportunity in the future. But Wu Meiniang was disappointed. Originally, after the New Year, she arranged people non-stop and handed over the business and travel affairs in her hands to her subordinates, so that she could get out and travel to Yangzhou with Qin Mubai and others. Now that she suddenly wants to change her route back to Beijing, all her efforts have come to naught.

It was Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang who got married, and Wu Meiniang, the daughter-in-law who had decided to marry first but didn't go through the door, it was always difficult to attend their wedding, otherwise it would be embarrassing left and right, and she would feel sad. Although Princess Gaoyang tried her best to invite, Wu Meiniang had to refuse all the time, and later Princess Gaoyang did not insist.

After all, she is also a woman, and she knows that Wu Meiniang only has unspeakable bitterness in her heart now. So Princess Gaoyang was very sorry to Wu Meiniang. In her own words, she has lived so far in this life, except for her parents, she feels that she owes Wu Meiniang, and she can't help it.

Qin Mubai did not make a statement. Since Princess Gaoyang refused to marry and left love, he and Wu Meiniang both expected that there would be today. He believes in Wu Meiniang, firstly, she has been mentally prepared, and secondly, she is not the kind of woman who can't open her mind with careful eyes.

Between the two, a look can tell the heart. This kind of tacit understanding has never existed with Princess Gaoyang. Qin Mubai read the sadness in Wu Meiniang's eyes, but it was more relieved and calm, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

But having said that, for Wu Meiniang, Qin Mubai also felt a little guilty. But he never said half a word of "I'm sorry" or something nonsense to Wu Meiniang.

Because Wu Meiniang doesn't need it at all.

And a long time ago, Wu Meiniang said that she once said that Qin Mubai was blessed to marry Princess Gaoyang, which could at least save him twenty years of struggle. can be good for her man, she also admits it. If other women want to catch up, it is impossible.

Except for Princess Gaoyang, no one can let Wu Meiniang fall behind.

This is Wu Meiniang, unique. She is a woman, and she has the jealous nature that women share. But more often than not, she is wiser and more realistic than most women. She clearly knows that in the current world and era of the Tang Dynasty, a wealthy Tian Sheweng still needs three wives and four concubines, not to mention a prince and nobleman like Qin Mubai and an outstanding man?

Wanting to have Qin Mubai as a man alone is absolutely unrealistic for any woman. Rather than this, it is better to let Qin Mubai go free and let him go to the free wandering flowers, but there is a premise - the woman he messes with is definitely stronger than Wu Meiniang, and she must help Qin Mubai!

Therefore, to what extent Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang have developed, Wu Meiniang knows it but never asks or is not jealous, but Qin Mubai fools around with Princess Gaoyang's maids and maids, and secretly guards with the reckless Chen Yan in the rivers and lakes, she is angry.

In a simple sentence, Qin Mubai wants to be merry and happy, which is okay; But the woman who provokes must be the best, either power or wealth or appearance, and there must always be one aspect that is better than her Wu Meiniang.

This is Wu Meiniang's "jealousy" and "husband creed", which is unique, and has a bit of the Taoist realm of "ruling by doing nothing".

This time I came to Xiangyang to see Wu Meiniang again, and even Qin Mubai's eyes suddenly lit up, in addition to being as beautiful and wise as ever, her body was more mature and spiritual. The open-mindedness of the state of mind and the realm of thought make Wu Meiniang's charm extraordinary.

Qin Mubai has a rod in his heart. For today's three confidants, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang and Chen Yan, each has its own positioning.

Princess Gaoyang, she needs Qin Mubai far more than Qin Mubai needs or likes her. For her, Qin Mubai is more passive, pitiful and moved, so he is in love.

Chen Yan, she gave Qin Mubai a simple feeling like a civilian and the most unpretentious peace, with her, Qin Mubai's greatest pleasure is ease and truthfulness. The return to simplicity after the hustle and bustle is sometimes more touching and unforgettable. In addition, Chen Yan has nothing to ask for him, although the two are husband and wife, they are more like confidants. It is enough to have a confidant in life, let alone a confidant?

As for Wu Meiniang, her position has always been irreplaceable. From the beginning of knowing her, Qin Mubai just felt sorry for his conscience if he didn't treat her for a kind of beauty hunting and historical plot. But later, Wu Meiniang gradually became the most ideal wife in his mind, the best virtuous helper, and the other half of his life.

It can be said without denying that for Qin Mubai, Wu Meiniang's status and significance in his mind are irreplaceable for Princess Gaoyang and Chen Yan.

This may be unfair to Princess Gao Yang, Chen Yan and others, but it is the truth. The five fingers of one hand have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is never realistic to treat everyone equally. Although Qin Mubai is now about to marry Princess Gaoyang and achieve a positive result, in his heart, Wu Meiniang is still in the first place.

In this regard, Princess Gaoyang also knows it. Because of this, she has always been polite and reasonable to Wu Meiniang, and took the initiative to show goodwill, willing to 'respect outside and be small inside', and it is precisely because she realized that Wu Meiniang is irreplaceable in Qin Mubai's mind.

To say that everything was fine on this trip, the only thing that made Qin Mubai feel a little regretful was that he couldn't "cave room" with Wu Meiniang.

When the water arrives, the canal is not completed, and it is still not forced. If you really want to hole in the room and let Wu Meiniang conceive a man and a girl, there may be many things at home in the future. Rather than this, it is better to do less. This was her mother's idea, Wu Meiniang did not refute it after hearing it, but she had her own idea in her heart, and she always insisted on not "living with Qin Mubai unmarried", which was also considered in the long run, in order to avoid incidents in the family in the future.

Otherwise, if you really want to steal a love, you really can't spare time and space?

It's just that Wu Meiniang's insistence is making trouble!

Wu Meiniang didn't explain this matter to anyone, but Qin Mubai felt it. In addition to regrets, he felt and admired this virtuous helper more and more.

Wu Meiniang, after all, is not an ordinary woman. In other words, any woman, in the face of the threat of a rival in love, the most instinctive reaction is to improve her attractiveness to men, and her own status, she can't wait to take the initiative to conceive a child for Qin Mubai. But she didn't, not only did she take the initiative to refuse, this is her calm wisdom and long-term vision.

Later, when her mother Liu thought of this, she had to admire Wu Meiniang's extraordinaryness, and thought that some women were short-sighted and vulgar, and she loved and admired this second daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door.

is about to leave Xiangyang and return to Chang'an to get married, at this moment, what Qin Mubai wants to do most is to marry Wu Meiniang as soon as possible.

With her, worry-free at home and worry-free in the backyard! - If a woman is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Xiangyang Military Mansion, Military Port.

The mother and sister, Princess Gaoyang and her entourage all got on the boat, and Qin Mubai was on the side of the bridge and held Wu Meiniang's hand.

"Mei Niang, I'm leaving." Qin Mubai smiled slightly apologetically and said, "If you hate me, just scold me!" ”

"It's about to be your big day, why should I scold you?" Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes glanced at Princess Gaoyang on the deck of the ship, and said softly, "I treat you as my man, so I don't care if you marry Princess Gaoyang." For the sake of our old Qin family, if you marry Princess Gaoyang, I can tolerate it in my heart, you should rest assured. ”

Qin Mubai's words made Qin Mubai feel even more guilty in his heart, he clenched Wu Meiniang's hand and said, "The more you say this, the more uneasy I feel. You should scold me twice! ”

"I don't scold!" The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth rose, and she smiled and said, "Su Lianqing, this woman has taught me, if you want a man to miss you, one is not to commit easily, and the other is to make him indebted." Mu Bai, I want you to think of me when you are around any woman. ”

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Look at you, you have already cultivated to a certain level. Su Lianqing, that thief woman, not only betrayed me, but also brought you badly, look at how I will clean her up when I return to Chang'an! ”

"You dare! She's mine now! Beating a dog is still a bully! Wu Meiniang smiled.

"Heh, you are the hostess, I am the hostess! Why can't you fight? Qin Mubai pursed his lips, stretched out a hand to gently wipe the side of her nose, and said softly, "I'm leaving." Wait for me...... I'm going to do everything I can to get you married as soon as possible!" ”

"No! Let's talk about it first, when to marry you, it's up to me to decide. Otherwise......"

"Okay, okay, don't you carry it with me, okay?" Qin Mubai interrupted her laughter and smiled helplessly, "This matter will be discussed later." In short, you are mine, sooner or later! ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I'm not a sword or a horse, I'm a big living person." If you don't treat me well, maybe I'll follow someone else. So, weigh it up for yourself! ”

Qin Mubai scratched his head and said with a smile: "You are my woman, I don't beat you or scold you, but I can always clean up those crazy phoenixes and butterflies." If anyone dares to touch you, or surrounds you with ill intentions, see that I don't kill him! ”

"You've become so vulgar too." Wu Meiniang sneered, "It's really ugly, as if I'm a coquettish woman who attracts the wind and butterflies." ”

"I'm a layman, but I don't have the demeanor of a saint. If you can't even keep your own woman, what's the point of this life? Qin Mubai laughed, covered Wu Meiniang's hands in her palms, and said, "Okay, to make a long story short, my mother is still waiting for me, I really have to go." ”

Wu Meiniang stared at Qin Mubai, with a smile in her eyes, but there was a trace of sadness, she knocked her eyelids twice and nodded slightly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's go, don't worry, I'll wait for you in Xiangyang." ”

"Wait for me."

Regardless of the large number of people present, Qin Mubai took Wu Meiniang into his arms and hugged her, and kissed her on the forehead, and then turned around and boarded the bridge.

Seeing this, Princess Gaoyang pouted lightly, her expression was slightly helpless, and she was somewhat regretful and guilty.

"Sail—"

The anchor was lifted, and the big ship slowly sailed towards the center of the river. The group was on the deck, waving goodbye to Wu Meiniang, Pang Fei and others.

Princess Gaoyang just stood next to Qin Mubai, didn't hold his elbow as usual, and said softly: "Mubai, it's really hard for you......

"What did you say?" Qin Mubai turned his head and looked at her curiously.

Princess Gaoyang's expression was rare calm and sincere, and she smiled: "I said, it's really difficult for you and Mei Niang to be lovers." If I hadn't been a princess...... In good conscience, I would never want to marry first, and occupy the magpie's nest. ”

Qin Mubai stared at Princess Gaoyang for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose and smiled happily, patted her shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "Being favored by you and Mei Niang is the greatest blessing for me Qin Mubai in this life!" - Even if I exchange the whole world for any of you, I won't change it! ”

The water of the Han River is surging.

Qin Mubai's words were sonorous - "Remember, Gao Yang, what I said just now is an oath!" Heaven and earth learn together, Han water is the proof! ”

Princess Gaoyang bit her lip, nodded seriously, and whispered: "Mu Bai, the scene of Fang Cai reminds me of a sentence in the Book of Poetry. I don't read much, but I remember this paragraph very clearly - I want to know you, live a long life, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, but dare to be with you! ”

"Remember, Mu Bai, this is also an oath, what I Li Ling'er said! Heaven and earth learn together, Han water is the proof! ”
