Chapter 174: Mei Niang's attitude
Qin Mubai no longer concealed it, and told Wu Meiniang in detail about the matter with Princess Gaoyang from beginning to end. Including the two who met due to conflicts, to the slow deep friendship, and the meeting in Jiangzhou, plotting to deal with Fang Yuai, and the emperor exposing the scheme Princess Gaoyang went crazy, all of them were told to Wu Meiniang. However, of course, the fragment between the two of them was omitted, and Qin Mubai didn't want to take the initiative to stretch out his face to find it.
After listening to this, Wu Meiniang was stunned for a long time and didn't speak.
"What, angry?" Qin Mubai leaned over and asked with a smile.
"No ......" Wu Meiniang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Actually, I have known about you for a long time, to be honest, I am indeed a little angry and jealous." But I just heard you say this, although this princess Gaoyang is rude and willful, she is really in love with you. Her dedication is really touching. If I were a man, I would be tempted by her. Besides, I think she's quite pathetic. On the surface, she seems to be a favored princess, and her style is envied, but in fact, there is endless bitterness in her heart. In contrast, I feel that I am much happier than her. β
"That's it. Originally, I didn't have a good impression of her, but after coming and going, I was really moved by her. This little girl has a stupid spirit. None of the nine cows could be dragged back. Qin Mubai got off the donkey and struck while the iron was hot, and said, "You didn't see the scene when she went crazy, it's really pitiful...... Also, when Concubine Yin saw that she was crazy, she also hanged herself, but fortunately I found out in time. This mother and daughter are really pitiful. β
"Do you like people just because they are pitiful?" Wu Meiniang glanced at Qin Mubai, and said angrily, "If you get cheap and sell well, you can pretend!" β
"Uh......" Qin Mubai smiled dryly and said, "I didn't mean that." β
"I know! -" Wu Meiniang snorted in a long voice, "Don't you just want to tell me that you are going to be a colt?" β
Qin Mubai's heart was blocked, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he said in his heart: It's so powerful, why did she hit the nail on the head at once?
"Don't have anything to say?" Wu Meiniang became much colder in an instant, "Then you are here to break the marriage contract with me, and marry the princess in a beautiful manner, right?" β
"It's not." Qin Mubai said, "Mei Niang, you should know my intentions for you. It is true that there are many women dangling around me, but the only one I really want to marry is you. Can you believe it? β
Wu Meiniang gently picked the corners of her mouth, looking a little reluctant, but still nodded slightly.
"There are some things I don't want to hide from you, I want to be able to talk to you openly and honestly." Qin Mubai said seriously, "After I entered the palace yesterday, the emperor asked me to visit the crazy Princess Gaoyang in the cold palace. The scene was really shocking, she was so pitiful. After she went crazy, she didn't even recognize the emperor and the concubine, but she only recognized me. When they saw me, their condition improved a lot. I have more pity and a little touch for her, maybe a little bit of like, but not comparable to you. Concubine Yin proposed an expedient measure to me, that is, she verbally promised to withdraw the marriage between Princess Gaoyang and the Fang family and give me the marriage. I think this is mostly to stabilize Princess Gaoyang's emotions and think about her illness. The emperor and the concubine were also worried about my existing marriage contract, so they didn't announce the matter, just for fear that you and I would be embarrassed. β
Wu Meiniang snorted lightly and said: "Everyone says that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, as long as the emperor decrees down, do you dare not marry?" β
"That's not what I said." Qin Mubai said, "The current situation is like this-Princess Gaoyang is crazy, even if she is the emperor's daughter, then few people are willing to marry a crazy woman." Moreover, she had promised a house before, and now she has promised a family again...... Where does the emperor still have confidence? Therefore, it seems that there is still a bit of a compromise, 'please' me to accept Princess Gaoyang. β
"Humph! So you got cheap and sold well? Wu Meiniang scolded angrily, "Who made you so amorous and provoked some women everywhere?" It's all about the ones you can't mess with! It wasn't enough to have a Chen Yan before, but now a bigger thorny princess Gaoyang has popped up...... I, I can't stand you! β
"Mei Niang, don't be angry......" Qin Mubai hurriedly comforted and coaxed her, and smiled hehehe, "I didn't say that I wanted to marry the princess immediately, nor did I say that I wanted to break the marriage contract with you?" Everyone knows that I have a marriage contract with you in advance, and it is a marriage given by the emperor, and this cannot be changed. But if the emperor's daughter wants to marry, she must not be a concubine. I'm not embarrassed, it's the emperor and the concubine who are embarrassed now! I'm just letting you know. In fact, no matter how they toss, the two of us will never be separated anyway! β
"Well, that's like a human saying." Wu Meiniang finally smiled, but she was still a little displeased, and said angrily, "Then what are you going to do now?" Concubine Yin asked you to take Princess Gaoyang out of the palace and settle in Li Ke's mansion, obviously to facilitate the private meeting between the two of you. I can't stand you guys besetting me right under my nose. β
"Don't worry, don't worry, definitely not." Qin Mubai hurriedly persuaded, "Actually, Princess Gaoyang has long known that I have a marriage contract with you first. Although she is a little pampered and arrogant, she is not the kind that is unkind. She won't do anything about a dove occupying a magpie's nest. Also, she's really stupid. She once said that as long as I can be together, I can do without anything else. She doesn't care about being a princess anymore, how can she care about the difference between a wife and a concubine and compete with you? β
"I don't care about such a name!" Wu Meiniang suddenly said in a loud voice, "But I just can't stand it, sharing my own man with other women!" β
For a while, Qin Mubai was a little speechless, and muttered, "Then what should I do?" Why don't you cut me in half and divide the two of you? β
"Then a few more women, should they pile you into eight petals?" Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and scolded angrily.
Qin Mubai smirked; "Anyway, it's all stacked, it doesn't matter how many petals there are, you can divide them!"
"Hey, you're coming! You foolish disciple everywhere! Wu Meiniang was annoyed, and she was about to twist Qin Mubai's arm when she pounced.
Qin Mubai laughed, took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms, and said softly: "Mei Niang, don't be angry. I'll be able to handle this, okay? I just don't want to hide it from you, so I tell you and the plate. Believe me, you are still the most important thing in my heart. β
"Hmph......" Wu Meiniang smiled embarrassedly and twisted Qin Mubai's face twice, sat up and complained softly: "The public is not ashamed. It's in my house......"
After a while, the Yang family asked the maidservant to bring breakfast to Wu Meiniang. Although Qin Mubai had eaten, he also accompanied Wu Meiniang with the Yang family to eat some snacks.
During the meal, Qin Mubai asked, "Mei Niang, what about Xue Rengui and his wife?" β
"Oh! I asked them to live in my house, but they would not be. So I had to arrange for them to live in the world's first wine, where there is a room for the next person, and the environment is not bad. I sent a bookkeeper to teach Sister-in-law Xue to manage the accounts, and she will be able to work in two days. Wu Meiniang said.
"After a while, let's go together for the world's first wine. I'm looking for Xue Rengui, there are some things. β
"Okay."
After dinner, Qin Mubai went out with Wu Meiniang and went to the first wine in the world. It was rare to be leisurely, so the two walked into the street without any servants and maids. Along the way, Wu Meiniang was still annoyed when she remembered Princess Gaoyang, glaring at him a few times from time to time or screwing in two, and Qin Mubai responded with a smirk.
As Chen Yan said, love is selfish. No woman wants to share her man with another woman unless she doesn't care about that man at all.
Wu Meiniang's reaction was as Qin Mubai expected. First, Wu Meiniang is a very smart woman, and she will never quarrel with him or really turn her face because of such things as jealousy; Second, Wu Meiniang has always been an extremely confident woman, she believes that she can keep Qin Mubai's heart, no matter how many women there are around him, she firmly believes that she is always the most favored one. Moreover, now that the Tang Dynasty has a little bit of talent, which one is not three wives and four concubines, this kind of thing has become a common practice and is inevitable, and even a rural farmer Weng has collected a few more buckets of wheat and wants to accept a concubine. is as smart as Wu Meiniang, and she will not be naΓ―ve enough to restrict Qin Mubai with a tough attitude, she is the only woman in her life, which is not realistic at all.
"Since he always wants to take a concubine, who is not a concubine? There is nothing wrong with having a princess for him. As long as my place in his heart is still paramount, that's fine. As for the position of the wife...... Who can win the emperor's daughter? It doesn't hurt to give her such a false name. Mu Bai is different from ordinary vulgar men who regard concubines as livestock playthings, and they will definitely not disappoint me...... Hey, there's no way around it! In Wu Meiniang's heart, she thought of it.
But thinking about it, the vinegar and jealousy in my heart still linger. Therefore, it is reasonable to use excuses to be angry and angry with Qin Mubai from time to time.
The two walked on the street, which really attracted the attention of many passers-by. Needless to say, these two people are now big celebrities in Chang'an; I don't know each other, but I also feel envy and jealousy of this pair of golden boys and girls. Along the way, it was like being visited, and Qin Mubai felt a little awkward in his heart.
Finally arrived at the world's first wine. The person in charge here is Wu Meiniang's eldest brother Wu Yuanqing. After Yin Yang and others taught him a lesson last time, he finally found his position as a "wage earner" and became much more honest.
Wu Meiniang left Chang'an for half a year and returned to the world's first wine, and the wine shop was collectively welcomed. Along with Qin Mubai, it is even more eye-catching. This is the first time that the two of them have appeared in front of everyone.
Xue Liu's clan also came out, Qin Mubai recognized her at a glance, walked up to her and said, "Sister-in-law Xue, are you used to coming here?" β
Being booed by the big boss in front of everyone, the newcomer Liu was a little flattered, and nodded hurriedly: "Xie Dadong is concerned, everything is fine with me here." β
When everyone saw this scene, they all knew that this Liu family was personally invited by Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang. The Liu family was instantly worth a hundred times, and it changed in the minds of these people.
"Brother Xue is good?" Qin Mubai asked again, "I made a special trip to find him today." β
"He's ......," Liu chuckled, with some embarrassment, "He went out early in the morning, saying yes...... I went out to find a job to do. β
Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: Okay, it seems that Xue Rengui is feeling the pressure. His wife has a job, but he is idle, but he can't let a woman support his family and eat soft rice. Later, when he returns, I will invite him to my house. When I met my father, I believe he will change his attitude!
