Chapter 160: Return to Chang'an
When they arrived at the corner of the mountain road in front of Juntun, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan stopped their horses.
"Don't leave it at that." Chen Yan said, "I will live in the small village where Zhu Chengwen's tomb is located for a while, and then continue to wander the rivers and lakes." ”
"Didn't you say that you would go to Chang'an together?" Qin Mubai said.
Chen Yan frowned slightly: "Is it really convenient?" ”
"What's the inconvenience?" Qin Mubai asked rhetorically.
"Huh!" Chen Yan smiled, "Didn't you feel that Wu Meiniang was quite wary of me?" In order not to embarrass the two of you and affect the relationship between you, it's better for me not to go on the same road with you again. ”
"What are these words?" Qin Mubai said, "We are friends, if you avoid it like this, doesn't it mean that we really have a problem?" Don't think too much, go to Chang'an! What kind of rivers and lakes are floating in your girl's house? I don't look down on you, isn't it good to live a peaceful and comfortable life? ”
"Girls' families?" Chen Yan smiled gracefully, was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's because I was born cheap, I'm used to this kind of life." Going south and north to eat and stay in the dew is also a special taste. ”
"That's because you haven't tried anything else." Qin Mubai said.
"Maybe......" Chen Yan nodded silently.
"Don't say it, I will leave for Chang'an in half a month, and I hope to have you with me then." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Actually, you and Mei Niang are quite close to each other." You are both smart and have complementary personalities. Trust me, you won't affect me in any way. ”
"Okay, we'll talk about it then." Chen Yan clenched her fists, "Farewell!" ”
"Let's go."
Riding into the dust, Chen Yan disappeared into the night.
Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile on his face, she is really a strong woman, in fact, her heart is gentler than anyone else.
Happy days always fly by, and a few days go by.
It's like a honeymoon.
There are fewer and fewer things in the barracks, and because of the disaster relief, the soldiers of the government have even saved their daily training, and they all eat and sleep in the barracks. Qin Mubai, the acting lieutenant, didn't bother to care about them, anyway, it wasn't his own relatives, and it would be handed over in two days, so he didn't need to bother much, and everything would be fine if he didn't cause trouble.
So, after he arranged the things he had set every day, all that remained was to accompany Wu Meiniang to eat, drink, and have fun in the mountains and rivers.
The relationship between the two has deepened day by day.
It was only then that Qin Mubai realized that he and Wu Meiniang could be so compatible.
Qin Mubai has always liked smart people, whether it is a man or a woman, a friend or an enemy, he likes to be smarter.
And Wu Meiniang is an extremely smart woman.
Her cleverness is not reflected in trickery and intrigue calculations, but in a kind of atmospheric flavor - great wisdom!
The person who can be the empress is really not so simple, God has given her too many things, and the most outstanding thing is wisdom.
Take Chen Yan's case as an example, Wu Meiniang is obviously jealous and nervous, but she can make everyone get off the stage, give Qin Mubai enough face in front of the public, and use her tolerance and generosity to make Chen Yan retreat without a fight.
On the other hand, if Wu Meiniang behaves stingy and is aggressive towards Chen Yan, with Chen Yan's character, maybe she will really compete with her head-on.
This kind of practice of retreating into progress and convincing people with virtue is easy to say, but not every woman can do it. After all, in the face of their own rivals, out of human instinct, everyone will be jealous and behave inappropriately. Being able to react in a very short time and come up with a suitable strategy is enough to see how open-minded and smart Wu Meiniang is.
Afterwards, Wu Meiniang didn't mention Chen Yan's matter again, even if the two chatted casually, Wu Meiniang only regarded her as a friend to discuss, and never asked Qin Mubai if she was warm with her.
A woman who can make a man feel trusted and relied on with her, and feel relaxed and happy without pressure, is a woman that men can't live without.
Wu Meiniang did so.
This period of time can be said to be the most relaxed and comfortable day for Qin Mubai after coming to Datang. Every day, he left the barracks to meet Wu Meiniang, traveled with her to enjoy the scenery and shopping, and accompanied her out to negotiate business twice, and gave alms to some poor people.
Wu Meiniang's charm has been magnified again in these things. Many people meet her for the first time and are only attracted by her outstanding appearance and noble temperament. After getting along, I found out that this woman was too charming. She is intelligent, kind, amiable, shrewd, capable, and highly enterprising.
When beauty and wisdom are combined, coupled with kindness and hard work, will there be any man in the world who will not be fascinated by such a woman?
The more they got along, the more Qin Mubai became a little fascinated by Wu Meiniang. I have been glad in my heart that I was accompanied by such a beautiful woman who was one in a million miles. If a woman is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Over the past few days, there has been more tacit understanding between Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang. From time to time, a small movement of a glance can understand the other person's mind. This kind of feeling of being enlightened is rarely experienced by Qin Mubai, especially for women.
Even if she is not the best lover, Wu Meiniang is at least Qin Mubai's best confidant.
A lover and a confidant become one, what else is there to find fault with?
And Wu Meiniang's feelings for Qin Mubai are the same.
The relationship between the two is like the temperature of a burning July, soaring.
In the blink of an eye, it has reached the wax moon.
The weather in the north is dry and cold and snowy, and the first heavy snow of the year has already fallen.
Under the deployment arrangement of Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang, the task of disaster relief and relief was successfully completed. Before the first heavy snowfall fell, all the relief materials were in place, and tens of thousands of new houses were built for the victims to live in, and there were no incidents of frostbite and starvation or riots among the displaced people.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, and the emperor and the court were also considerate of their subordinates, the holy decree flew to Qin Mubai's Chinese military tent with the first snowflakes.
Emperor Xuan, Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang returned to face the saint. The military and political affairs of Jiangzhou were all taken over by the newly appointed Assassin Shi and Du Lieutenant, and the new official and the holy decree arrived at the same time, and they could be handed over immediately.
When the news broke, there was a cheer.
After all, these soldiers have been out for almost half a year, who is not like an arrow?
Qin Mubai also let out a long breath, feeling a sense of relief.
Finally, it's time to go home!
At that moment, Qin Mubai handed over the military affairs to the newly arrived Governor of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
The unofficial was light, and he took the 100 hundred cavalry soldiers who came with him at the beginning, and after a celebration banquet, he left this military camp where he had lived for half a year.
Before leaving, Qin Mubai was really a little nostalgic. After all, I've been here for half a year, and every plant and tree is so familiar. I also made a lot of friends in the army, all of whom were bloody men, and they were a little reluctant to cling to each other.
Hearing that the army was leaving, the residents of Jishan County, who had received great favors, sent them farewell. On a snowy day, many people burned incense and knelt down to pay respects, and the momentum was quite loud. Qin Mubai and the others begged bitterly, but they couldn't persuade these residents away. had no choice but to put on a position and left Jishan County under the welcome of the residents.
Heavy snow closed the road, and it was impossible to rush for a while. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to rush back to Chang'an, so Qin Mubai pulled the team of 100 people to the villa where Wu Meiniang lived. The villa is very large, and there is no problem with these people, just to avoid the heavy snow before leaving.
Wu Meiniang was also happy when she learned the news that she could return to Chang'an. She has been away from Chang'an for longer than Qin Mubai, she misses it there, and there is the first wine in the world, and she has not taken care of it for a long time. Immediately, Wu Meiniang immediately sent someone to Wenshui's hometown in Bingzhou to invite her mother Yang and ask her to return to Chang'an together.
After nightfall, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang roasted the fire and warmed the wine, listening to the little girl ring beside her playing the guzheng, enjoying the sweet time comfortably.
"Mu Bai, I'm going back to Chang'an tomorrow! I'm both happy and sad, you know? Wu Meiniang said.
"Don't say it, why are you worried?" Qin Mubai asked.
"You're so stupid!" This has almost become Wu Meiniang's mantra, she giggled, "When you go back to Chang'an, don't you have to go back to the palace on an errand again, don't you have so much time to accompany me?" ”
"Ahem!" Qin Mubai coughed lightly and said seriously, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" ”
"Huh? …… If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? Good sentence, good sentence! Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and praised, "I see that you often make a sentence or two like this, which is quite brilliant!" But why don't you officially compose some poems? ”
"I'm a martial artist, what kind of poetry do I do? I'm already so famous, do I still need to rely on poetry to make a name for myself? Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Hey, I'm not ashamed." Wu Meiniang pinched Qin Mubai's nose, her body became weak, she simply lay in his arms, pillowed her head on his thigh, smiled evilly, reached out and touched his belly, and said, "You say, what would you be like if you were pregnant for seven months?" Cluck! A big general with a big belly must be fun! ”
"You're so imaginative!" Qin Mubai was amused, touched her little face and pinched it gently, "What's the matter, can't you wait to give birth to a son for me?" ”
"You're bad!" Wu Meiniang blushed with shame and pulled his belly angrily.
The maids who were waiting and playing the guzheng on the side couldn't help but snicker. Wu Meiniang was ashamed and embarrassed, and scolded hatefully: "You dead girls, don't laugh!" ”
"Boss, let's step aside, giggle!" The maids all laughed. They are all Wu Meiniang's henchmen, and they are also her best friends and sisters, so they don't need to shy away from anything.
"Don't retreat!" Wu Meiniang covered up her embarrassment with a loud shout, "Just play the song well and warm the wine, but your eyes are not allowed to glance this way, and your ears are not allowed to listen!" ”
"You're too domineering." Qin Mubai laughed.
"I want it!" The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth rose and smiled warmly and a little weird, she wrapped one hand around Qin Mubai's waist and stroked his strong back, and with the other hand held Qin Mubai's hand and put it on her face, closed her eyes, and hummed, "It's so warm and comfortable, I want to sleep for a while." Don't alarm me, and don't ...... What a bad idea. ”
"Do you really want me to become Megumi Yanagishita? I'm going to do bad things if I hold it like this. Qin Mubai smiled evilly.
"No, no!" Wu Meiniang twisted her body shyly and giggled, "Before you get married, you are not allowed to do anything to me!" ”
"What are you going to do to me if I do to you?" Qin Mubai laughed and made tongue twisters with her.
"Then I'll ...... I'll just ...... I want to think about it......" Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes in contemplation, and suddenly giggled, "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it!" ”
Qin Mubai laughed, and his mood was quite comfortable.
"I'm finally going back to Chang'an!"
