Chapter 178: The Lively Qin Mansion
At the gate of the Qin Mansion, Li Ke got out of the car first and waved to Princess Gaoyang inside: "Come down, it's you who are clamoring to come, why don't you want to get out of the car at this time?" ”
Princess Gao Yang was still shrunk in the car, glanced at the Qin Mansion with a thief, patted her chest and said, "Third brother, I'm a little nervous!" ”
"What's so nervous?" Li Ke smiled evilly, "Are you afraid to see your future in-laws?" ”
"I, I, I...... I heard that Uncle Qin, the Duke of Yiguo, was fierce, and when he charged into battle, he was known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and he was terrifying to kill people. He must have been born like a Rakshasa lion's bloody mouth, and his words can deaf people's ears! Princess Gaoyang said timidly.
Li Ke knew that she was making excuses, as a princess, how could she be afraid of a courtier? She is nothing more than the little daughter-in-law's psychology when she sees her in-laws, for fear that Qin Mubai's parents will not like her.
"It's all nonsense!" Li Ke reprimanded, "General Qin Shubao has a dignified body, and he was a famous beautiful man back then. Besides, what do you think Qin Mubai looks like? Everyone knows that he looks very similar to Qin Shubao. ”
"I, I, I...... I'm still nervous! Princess Gaoyang swallowed dryly, but still refused to get out of the car.
"Come down!" Li Keman was impatient, rushed to the car and picked her up and put her directly on the ground.
"Third brother, you scoundrel, let me go!" Princess Gao Yang shouted in shame.
While making a fuss, Qin Mubai appeared at the gate, looking at this pair of living treasure brothers and sisters and laughing: "Your Highness, what are you playing in the court?" ”
"Ah, you have more to say!" Princess Gaoyang became angry when she saw Qin Mubai, rushed forward with great momentum, and said angrily, "Why have you avoided me all day and not seen anyone?" ”
"I didn't hide from you, why should I hide?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"What about you...... Then you ......" Princess Gao Yang blinked, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Alright, stop nagging." Li Ke stepped forward and slapped Princess Gaoyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mu Bai finally got a holiday, and it is also appropriate to accompany his parents at home, is it possible to accompany you all day long to toss around?" ”
"What do you mean by tossing!" Princess Gaoyang pursed her mouth in annoyance and protested repeatedly.
Li Ke glanced at the Qin Mansion and said suspiciously: "Mu Bai, it seems that the Qin Mansion is a guest today?" ”
"Not bad. My father's old friend Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie and his third son, Cheng Huaibi, came to visit, and a friend of mine came to visit. Qin Mubai said as he gave Li Ke a warning look.
"Oh, that's a bad time." Li Ke blinked his eyes, obviously understanding what Qin Mubai meant, and asked him to take Princess Gaoyang away as soon as possible, so he said, "Gaoyang, there are guests in the Qin Mansion today, and it is inconvenient for us to visit, so why don't we go back first, and come back another day?" ”
"What's inconvenient?" Princess Gaoyang pouted, "It's all here, why do you want to leave silently?" We are princes and princesses, and we have to take care of royal prestige. Could it be that the prince and princess traveled, and they had to make way for the courtiers? ”
Qin Mubai and Li Ke looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Qin Mubai secretly said in his heart: This little girl can really use the topic to play on the platform, and when it comes to this, what else can she do? I can only hope that for a while, she will not be with Wu Meiniang, and she will not stage Halley's Comet hitting the earth in front of many guests.
At this time, Qin Mubai and Cheng Zhijie, who were drinking in the hall just now, also heard the news of a visitor. Knowing that it was Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang, the two were shocked for a while, and hurriedly went out to greet them together.
Seeing that Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie were coming over, Li Ke hurriedly pulled Princess Gaoyang and signaled her to stop talking nonsense, greeted the two with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to arch his hand first from a distance: "Yiguo Gong, Lu Guogong, Xiao Wang took the liberty to visit and disturb the two of them, Yaxing, guilty and guilty!" ”
"The old minister greets His Royal Highness King Wu!" Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie hurriedly stopped at the side of the road and bowed their hands.
"You don't have to be polite." Li Ke hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang is free today, so he went out to play with his imperial sister Gao Yang, and happened to be in the Qin Mansion, thinking that Mu Bai was at home on vacation, so he stopped the car and wanted to come to him to chat." I don't know if I bothered the two of you, I'm really sorry to be tight. ”
Qin Shubao smiled slightly: "It's better to come early than to come early, the house is preparing thin wine, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, please pause the treasure drive and move to the cold house, how about a drink?" ”
"Thanks to the kindness of the Duke of Yiguo, Xiao Wang is disrespectful. Two, please! Li Ke smiled and beckoned to Gao Yang, "Little sister hasn't come to see the two princes of Yi and Lu?" ”
"How dare you!" Qin Shubao raised his eyes and glanced at the door to see Princess Gaoyang, and suddenly his eyes were slightly bright, and he took the initiative to step forward to greet Princess Gaoyang, "Weichen welcomes Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
"Wing Guogong, hurry up and be exempt!" Princess Gaoyang's face was already flushed, she had seen a lot of scenes like this in the past, as ordinary as a daily routine. But today, she clearly felt that she was a little blushing, her heart was beating and flustered, and her lips were a little trembling when she spoke.
Everyone knew about her little expression, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly: Why is Princess Gaoyang so nervous and cramped in the face of Qin Shubao?
"His Royal Highness King Wu and His Royal Highness the Princess, Wei Chen doesn't know if the two of you have missed the welcome, and please forgive the old minister for his disrespectful sin. The two highnesses please come in and sit down, and let the old minister personally put the wine into the wine to make amends! Qin Shubao politely sent out an invitation.
Cheng Zhijie secretly smiled behind him, and gave Qin Mubai a cold look, as if to say: "Look at your father, I was excited to see the princess and daughter-in-law!" ”
Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, having nothing to say.
Li Ke and Gao Yang walked side by side and walked towards the hall together. Princess Gaoyang looked at the left and right with interest all the way, and couldn't help but whisper curiously: "Third brother, how can the dignified Xunmen Qin Mansion be so simple and even a little shabby?" ”
"What, disgusted?" Li Ke smiled evilly, "If you can't get used to it, you can ask your father to give Qin Mubai a mansion, and he will come to marry you in the future." ”
"I hate it, I mean...... I mean......" Princess Gaoyang was speechless, and could only stare at Li Ke fiercely with shame and annoyance.
The group waited into the hall, and Qin Shubao wanted to invite Li Ke and Gao Yang to take a seat, but the two refused, so they sat down as guests and hosts. The house was also busy, and hurriedly prepared a banquet and some wine, just like a festival.
Li Ke hurriedly said: "Yiguo Gong doesn't have to be busy, if you are like this, my sister and I can't bear to disturb it." ”
"The two highnesses deigned to visit, and the old minister should be hospitable, and His Highness doesn't need to be so uneasy." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "Although the old minister is poor, he can still afford a meal." ”
"Huh!" Li Ke also smiled, "In this case, then Xiao Wang and the sister-in-law are no longer polite!" The Qin Xian wine on the Yiguo Mansion is famous as a treasure in the world. Xiao Wang didn't taste it carefully before, and he must make up for it today. ”
"Well said, well said." Qin Shubao nodded and smiled, "There are no other good products in our mansion, and this wine alone can be taken out to meet people." Speaking of which, this is all made up by dogs who have nothing to do. Thanks to his filial piety, he used this wine to soak medicinal wine to cure my cold leg rheumatism, and the effect is wonderful! If Your Highness likes it, Weichen can ask his family to send you a few more altars. ”
"That's very good, then Xiao Wang will thank Yiguo Gong." Li Keqiang replied with a smile.
The others couldn't help but laugh. Qin Mubai was standing beside Qin Shubao, with a bitter face, a little crying and laughing.
This Qin Shubao is really interesting. Such a famous and majestic iron-blooded god of war, in front of her son's "rumored girlfriend", Wang Po sold melons and boasted of herself. The dignified heroes also behave like a little common man when facing the marriage of their children. As if she was afraid that Princess Gaoyang would not know the merits of her son.
Princess Gaoyang sat beside Li Ke and lowered her head and covered her mouth vigorously, for fear that she would be rude when she laughed, and said secretly in her heart: I thought Qin Shubao was so fierce, it turned out to be quite amiable, just like an ordinary little old man, and it was quite funny! Hehe, Mu Bai really looks quite similar to him, if you add a long beard, the father and son are like one person. Perhaps, in a few decades, Mu Bai will be what he is now, hehe! ……
Qin Mubai stood behind Qin Shubao, watching Princess Gaoyang snickering there with her mouth covered her mouth, and couldn't help but secretly say to herself: What strange things are you thinking about this stupid girl?
After a short time, new dishes and drinks were presented, and fortunately, the Qin Mansion had prepared it early today, so it could cope with it. Qin Shubao also asked Qin Mubai to sit down next to Li Ke and accompany him to drink. Princess Gaoyang wanted to lean over and talk to him, but there were so many people present and Qin Shubao was present, so she had to press it alive, glaring at Qin Mubai or scuring her mouth to make a grimace from time to time when people were not paying attention.
Cheng Zhijie sat on the side and fell clean, he also knew that he was now a small supporting role, so he was happy to concentrate on tasting wine, and drank two large glasses alone, and his face was a little red and dizzy. Xue Rengui was completely like disappearing, sitting at the end of the seat without saying a word, neither drinking nor talking, just sitting with him.
Cheng Zhijie saw that he was restrained, and got up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Xue Rengui, come, have a drink with the old man!" ”
"The younger generation is not strong enough to drink, and he is afraid of getting drunk and losing his temper, so he can only drink lightly, and please forgive the old general!" Xue Rengui hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and got up.
"Hmm...... Mu Bai, this friend of yours hasn't been introduced yet! Li Ke said to Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai smiled, got up and said, "Brother Xue, I have saluted Lu Guogong's wine, come and I will introduce you to you." ”
"Okay." Xue Rengui accompanied Cheng Zhijie to drink, raised the bottle and walked to the table where Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang were seated, and arched his hand: "Xue Rengui, the grass people, I have seen the two highnesses King Wu and Princess Gaoyang!" ”
"Oh, since you are Mu Bai's friend, you are also a friend of this king, and you don't need to be polite." Li Ke looked Xue Rengui up and down, and couldn't help but light up slightly: Daqiao does not work with heavy swords, this person is modest and calm, introverted, and quite cultivated. The one who can be friends with Qin Mubai, who was brought to the Yiguo Mansion by him as a guest, and asked Qin Shubao to set up a banquet and treat him personally, must be an extraordinary person!
"Your Highness, Brother Xue, meeting is fate, I salute the two of you with a cup!" Qin Mubai came out of the round, which can be regarded as making everyone take a look at each other, and they are no longer strangers.
The three of them drank a bottle of wine together, and then sat down in their respective seats. The banquet continued.
Li Ke glanced back at Xue Rengui a few more times, and asked in a low voice to Qin Mubai, who was sitting beside him: "Mubai, this Xue Rengui is very faceless, and I haven't heard you mention it." When did you have such a friend? ”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "This is a long story. ”
