Chapter 148: Goodbye Mei Niang

After getting out of the carriage, Qin Mubai walked into this "Pingyao Xiaozhu" alone. Listening to the name, it is more similar to the land of song in Chang'an. When you come here, you can drink tea, listen to music, and drink two cups of wine with three friends and two friends.

To put it bluntly, this is a "nightclub" with Datang characteristics. It's just that there is not so much noise and miasma, and the overall atmosphere is generally elegant and fragrant.

Qin Mubai just walked in, and a half-aged in her forties walked in front of her. She also knew countless people in her eyes, but she glanced at Qin Mubai slightly, as if she could see that his way was not simple, and hurriedly greeted him with a low bow, and asked with a little warmth in her expression: "When the distinguished guests come, the tent shines." I don't know if Childe wants to drink tea or listen to music? ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile gracefully. This is really a rule, whether it is Chang'an or Jiangzhou, the rules of Ge Wan are about the same. When you enter the door, you first ask whether you want to drink tea or listen to music - if you want to drink tea, you will naturally prepare a poem of Accord to call friends; If you listen to music, it is specially designed for hunting beauty. As the saying goes, prostitutes gamble on both odds and doubles, this woman saw Qin Mubai coming in alone, no wonder she suspected that he was here to hunt for beauty.

"Neither, I'm looking for someone." Qin Mubai said, "May I ask the store, are there any guests from Chang'an staying here today?" ”

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Childe is asking interestingly, there are more distinguished guests from the capital in Xiaozhu, I don't know which one you are looking for?" ”

But anyone who does this business has a rule of secrecy for customers. In case someone is here and happy and is found by his wife's family, it is not good; Or there is a revenge hunt in this store, which is also a big disadvantage. Qin Mubai also knew that if he wanted to go to this kind of place to find someone, if he wasn't an acquaintance of the shopkeeper, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do it without much effort.

"I'm looking for An Wuzhao." Qin Mubai said and took out a small ingot of gold for her. Copper coins are very heavy, although gold and silver are not the main currency in circulation in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Mubai has always been accustomed to carrying a little with him in case of emergency.

When the woman saw this ingot of gold, she didn't move as if it was dung and mud, and only smiled slightly: "Childe misunderstood, the shop didn't live in a Chang'an person named Wu Zhao, even if I gave me more gold and silver, I couldn't conjure one for Childe out of thin air." ”

Qin Mubai smiled to herself, put away the gold, took out a token and shook it in front of her eyes: "Do you know what this is?" ”

The woman's face changed slightly, she carefully glanced at the token, looked at Qin Mubai in a daze, and muttered: "I have been running Xiaozhu for many years, and I have seen a lot of tokens in various officialdoms, but I have never seen the Qilin Order...... Dare to ask Childe, where is Gao? ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile bitterly: Oolong, he actually took the wrong token! I forgot for a while, how could such a short-sighted mother-in-law in a remote place recognize this unicorn order?

"Then look at this side again!" Qin Mubai flipped the token over, engraved a five-clawed golden dragon on his back, and had eight golden characters such as "If I am respectful, let you go back and forth" - the token of the hundred horsemen!

"Oh my God! ......" The woman's face changed instantly, she looked at Qin Mubai with wide eyes, and whispered in panic: "This, what kind of token is this?" Could it be that where His Majesty the Emperor can go, you can go? ”

"I'll just have to walk around the palace." Qin Mubai smiled.

This woman has been running this famous Fengyue place in Jiangzhou for many years, and she can be regarded as having seen the world, and she may not be so alarmed if she encounters a thorn governor, but at this time, she couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the villain will go and invite Chang'an Wuzhao to come immediately!" ”

"No need. Just lead the way. Qin Mubai put away the token, sneered and said secretly: This moment the dragon's token is useful, and I will save money again. A small place in Jiangzhou, that is, the fourth grade of the thorn Shi Master has to kneel down obediently when he sees this token, I really look down on you Pingyao Xiaozhu.

The woman took Qin Mubai to walk through a delicate and graceful carved building railing, during which there was no shortage of beautiful women who met or bewitched or beautiful. When all the women passed by Qin Mubai's side, they all looked at him a few more times, intentionally or unintentionally, and occasionally smiled coquettishly, which was extremely ambiguous.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and secretly said that the women here are not bad, and their kung fu is not bad. It's just that there is still a bit of a gap compared with Chang'an, after all, the grades are different.

When the two of them walked to a quiet and beautiful attic, the woman knocked lightly on the door and said, "Host, there is a guest who is here to look for you." ”

"The owner?" Qin Mubai was slightly stunned.

Then I heard a female voice replying, "The proprietor has just gone to sleep, and if there is a layman who asks him to come back later." ”

"This ......" The woman glanced back at Qin Mubai in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, stepped forward and pushed the door with one hand, but he just covered it up, so he said, "Tell your boss to get up." "The owner of your house is here." ”

"Huh?!" The woman beside Qin Mubai screamed in surprise and looked at Qin Mubai dumbfounded.

The same exclamation came from the back room, and someone immediately said, "Why don't you open the door and let him in?" ”

Sure enough, it was Wu Meiniang's voice!

The door was opened, and Qin Mubai saw Wu Meiniang lying lazily under the couch, leaning sideways with her hands, undulating from her shoulders to her hips. A luxurious mink robe with a pink skirt and shawl, appliquΓ©d long earrings, a beautiful bun, and a half-exposed chest covered only by a gold silk rattan-like necklace.

"It's still that stunner." Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile secretly, raised his feet and walked in. The little girl who opened the door retreated in a fun way, and hurriedly closed the door.

The woman who led the way pulled Yahuan aside and asked in a low voice, "Who is here, it seems that the origin is not small?" ”

"Don't ask. The subordinate must have the body of the subordinate, and the master's affairs should not be inquired! ”

In the room, Wu Meiniang was still lying like that, her phoenix eyes moved slightly and looked at Qin Mubai with a bright look, as if she was smiling but not smiling, and she seemed to be resentful, but she didn't speak.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "After a few months, don't you know me yet?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll know you if you've turned to ashes, right?" Wu Meiniang smiled, sat up and stretched, and suddenly the twin peaks were delicate, and the ditch in the middle became more and more far-reaching.

For more than half a year, she seems to have grown more and more mature, and she was originally charming and attractive, but now she has more mature charm. It is like a ripe honey peach hanging on the tip of the leaves with the wind, waiting to be picked.

Qin Mubai looked at her from beginning to end unscrupulously, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know you a little anymore." More than half a year ago, you were just a young girl like a little girl in the family, and in the blink of an eye, you became a big owner who manages the big business. When did you accept this Pingyao Xiaozhu? ”

"The day before yesterday." Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "When I came to Jiangzhou, I didn't have half a person to take care of me, so I had to find a place to live." When I arrived in the state city, I walked around and found that the environment here was still quiet, so I moved in. It's a pity that there are many laity and it is annoying, so I bought it on a whim, so that it can no longer be used to operate Fengyue, only for tea, wine, poetry and songs, just like the first wine in the world. ”

"You're a big shot." Qin Mubai said, "Pingyao Xiaozhu, which is just a state city, you buy it is like an ordinary person wandering around the market and buying a hairpin." Why did you suddenly think of Jiangzhou to donate money and materials to help the people? ”

Wu Meiniang stood up, cut her hands behind her back, and smiled gracefully, laughing somewhat mysteriously.

"I knew you were coming, and I knew you were going to ask."

"How so?" This time, Qin Mubai was puzzled, and couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that you have also learned the art of being tired of winning and subduing, can you pinch and be considered a prophet?" ”

"How can I do this!" Wu Meiniang sighed and laughed, a little self-pity, half-joking, half-seriously, and said, "I have a gentleman in my heart, and you have no self in my heart." ”

Qin Mubai frowned, suddenly understood in his heart, and asked, "Did you go to Jishan County to find me first?" ”

"Otherwise, how can I know that you and Chu Suiliang went to the palace of King Jiangxia of Jinzhou as guests?" Wu Meiniang paced, lowered her head slightly, held her breasts, and said quietly, "The land of Jin and Jiangpu and the four states are all respected by the king of Jiangxia. I, an unknown merchant in a small county in the state, naturally did not dare to go to the prince's mansion to find someone. In disappointment, he was about to return to his hometown of Wenshui in Bingzhou, but suddenly saw the crowds of victims in Jishan, and the sergeants were poorly fed and clothed, so he felt pity and decided to donate some money and materials to them, which could be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue. Who would have thought that this kind of good intentions may not be able to achieve good things. Those people in Jishan County said that they did not dare to accept gifts without permission from above. Say that if I want to donate money or goods, I must ask Chu Suiliang or your permission. Good things are done in the end, so I had to come to Jiangzhou to find Chu Suiliang! ”

"If you have mercy, you will make a huge move, you are really a big deal now." Qin Mubai sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and said, "Mei Niang, you don't have to pretend in front of me, right?" You came here to donate on purpose, in order to get the approval of the imperial court and give you a name such as a Tang Yishang, so that you can do better business in the future. At the same time, such a businessman will also wash away the shadow of his despised identity, and you will become a celebrity in the business world in the future, and you will be known in the government and the opposition. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought about later." Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, did not deny it, and said bluntly, "But I really didn't have any thoughts before I came to Jishan, and I came to see you on purpose at that time." Qin Mubai, I would like to ask you to have a little conscience. Jishan in Jiangzhou is not far from Wenshui in Bingzhou, and it is not farther away from Jinju City. Can you go to the prince's mansion for a banquet, but you can't come to Wenshui to see me? After I was rudely molested by Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, last time, you didn't say a word, and you didn't even see anyone. What kind of face and qualifications do you have to be a husband in this situation? ”

Qin Mubai's movements stagnated slightly, put down the teacup with a calm smile, looked at Wu Meiniang with a smile, and said: "Meiniang, it seems that we get together less and leave more, and there are a lot of estrangements and misunderstandings between us. Before explaining, I want to know why you came to Jishan to find me? ”

The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth were slightly provoked, and she chuckled treacherously, put her hands in front of her lower abdomen and paced a few steps without hurrying, and said leisurely: "Come to you and ask for a letter of resignation." ”
