A few days later, it was Qin Mubai's birthday. I don't know who leaked the news, early in the morning, some guests and friends came to visit and come to pay tribute to Qin Mubai's birthday.

The first one to come was the highest governor of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, the governor of the Yue's Metropolitan Mansion, and the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Mansion, Su Dingfang.

"Mu Bai, I'm here to celebrate your birthday!" Su Dingfang's voice was as full of anger as a bell, and he laughed loudly when he entered the door, "Congratulations!" Mu Bai, you have been so happy recently, I am happy for you! ”

"It's Senior Brother who is here!" Qin Mubai greeted him with a smile, "Senior brother's military affairs are heavy, why bother you to come to the door in person on the day of my mother's disaster?" ”

"Haha, that's so much of an outrage when you say that!" Su Dingfang said with a smile, "You and my brother, I haven't been together for a while—it's not just me, Zhu Bancheng and Xiao Xuanwu are all coming today, but I made an appointment with them two months in advance!" If someone else doesn't remember your birthday, can I still remember it? Why, don't you miss them? ”

"It's coming!" Qin Mubai's heart was also happy, and he smiled and said, "It's been a few days since I had a good drink with you good brothers." Today, I specially prepared more than a dozen jars of good Qinxian wine - let's not get drunk and not return! ”

"Third brother, my third brother! Haha, Kuroko is here to celebrate your birthday! When the two were talking and laughing, a thunderous voice came from outside the door, Yuwen Hongtai hugged his youngest son Wushuang, followed by his wife Su Lianqing, strode over, and shouted from afar, "Where's the wine?" What about wine!! ——Hurry up and get the wine, I want to salute my third brother three bowls first! ”

"This sunspot!" Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang greeted each other with a big laugh, and Qin Mubai said, "You sunspot is so unconscious." My birthday is the day of my mother's crucifixion. If you want to toast, you should first toast your godmother! ”

"Hey, the third brother has learned a lesson!" Yuwen Hongtai smiled innocently, and immediately shouted, "What about my godmother?" Today, her old man is the protagonist, I want to honor her and thank her for giving birth to my third brother! ”

"Haha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

At that time, Qin's mother Liu Shi wore a Yongrong brocade robe and walked out of the room, accompanied by Chen Yan and Princess Gaoyang, followed by Mingzhu and several nurses, holding a group of grandchildren and granddaughters, chattering lively.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang smiled happily: "Mu Bai, seeing you like this now, I really envy others!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled, "But most of the ordinary people are like me, what is there to envy?" ”

"Self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world - you have all done it. Now that the merits have returned to the basics, and the happiness is pure and peaceful, isn't it the envy of the people of the world? Su Dingfang said with emotion, "Throughout the ages, how many people can really achieve Qi Zhiping?" Either they are powerless, or they are loyal and filial piety, or they give up their family affection or lovers for the sake of great ambitions. ”

Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're here to pay homage today, but you're not here to talk to me about ideals and life - I'll say it first today, and those who come must get drunk!" If you don't get drunk, you won't be allowed to enter my house next time! ”

Su Dingfang and Yuwen Hongtai both laughed heartily, just like when they were in the army, and they hugged their fists together: "Get the order!" ”

"Come less, I don't want to lead troops now!" Qin Mubai smiled, "It's hard to be happy, don't create a tense atmosphere for me." ”

As he was talking, someone came to the door again, this time it was Wu Meiniang who led a cadre of ministers and generals of the Dazhao Wuguo to pay their respects.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mei Niang, I'm just an ordinary birthday, why bother to invite so many people?" ”

"You think I invited you?" Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I don't know how they know, they came to me together and asked me to bring them to congratulate you." You're a guest at the door, aren't you welcome? ”

"Then where do you dare, I'm afraid of causing trouble to everyone." Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward and thanked him one by one.

One after another, the city lords of the Nine Cities under the rule of Zhaowu and the chiefs of the tribes in the Western Regions either came in person or sent their cronies to congratulate them on their birthdays. The house was suddenly full of guests and friends, and it was very lively.

When the banquet was held at noon, the big prime minister's mansion at home could not fit anyone. Fortunately, the weather was fine, so the banquet was simply held on the bank of the lotus pond willow forest in the backyard. Everyone laughed loudly and staggered, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Just as the banquet was going on to the wonderful place, Menzi suddenly came to report that a Tang angel had arrived!

Everyone was amazed: What a coincidence!

Qin Mubai and his family went out to welcome the Tang Angel, and all the guests also came together to see what was going on.

Seeing the messenger at a glance, Qin Mubai, Liu, Shuang'er and the others were immediately overjoyed - "Second brother! ”

The one who came to announce the decree was actually Qin Bin!

"Third brother, let's go public before private - Qin Mubai takes the order!"

"Okay." Qin Mubai answered and led his family to accept the order.

Qin Bin unfolded the holy decree and began to read it out - "The Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven Zhao said ......"

The decree was very long, and Qin Bin read it for a long time. The guests outside the hall were also silent and listened quietly. Listening to it, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

Qin Mubai was awarded the title of prince by the Tang Emperor! - The king of Gongyue County, hereditary replacement!

Qin Mubai himself was quite surprised and surprised, and as soon as Qin Bin finished reading the Zhao Order, he asked suspiciously: "Second brother, is this really a holy decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself?" ”

"Of course. Could it be that a foolish brother still dares to fake? Qin Bin smiled with both hands and held the holy decree over, "Still not accept the decree to thank you?" ”

Qin Mubai sang Nuo Xie En and accepted the order, and then unfolded it again and read it in detail, yes, it was Chu Suiliang's handwriting that was absolutely true. When he was by the emperor's side for a long time, his seal and Chu Suiliang's handwriting on behalf of the Holy Decree would never admit his mistakes!

"Congratulations, third brother, the merit is finally complete." Qin Bin arched his hand and said, "My Qin family has a king, and my father can also be relieved in the spirit of the sky, and the ancestors and ancestors will also be proud of you!" ”

Princess Gao Yang stepped forward at this time and smiled: "Mu Bai, show me the holy decree!" ”

"You have to see, take it!" Qin Mubai gave it to her with a smile.

Princess Gao Yang smiled and unfolded the holy decree and read it, and suddenly her face changed, and she said hatefully: "It's too eccentric, eccentric, eccentric!" ”

"What's wrong?" Everyone exclaimed.

"Humph! The father is too partial! Princess Gaoyang was annoyed and stuffed the holy decree back to Qin Mubai, and said angrily, "My dignified princess only has 300 households, and she is far away in Xianyang, so I am afraid that I will not be able to eat rice in this life." Mu Bai is good, a newly sealed county king actually has 500 food estates, and he is still in the rich and fertile Gongyue City - as soon as I, the princess, left Chang'an, I became poor and white, and I will have to ask Mu Bai for pocket money in the future, I won't do it! ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Qin Bin said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please calm your anger." Tang Law clearly stipulates that the princess's food is only 400, and the prince's food is only 700, but there is no restriction on the hero's food. It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Chi Jingde, the founding heroes, have more than 700 households, which is higher than the prince. His Majesty the Emperor gave you 300 households, which is appropriate, but the princess herself did not go to Xianyang to receive it, and she couldn't complain about Your Majesty! ”

Qin Mubai also smiled, "Or, do you go back to Chang'an once a year and go to Xianyang to collect rent?" ”

Everyone was amused when they heard it.

Princess Gaoyang was also angry and funny, "Go once a year? I also go round trip once a year! - Forget it, I'm married to you anyway, you should raise me and give me money to spend! Hehe, in the future, I will be lazy and lazy, and I will ask you if I have no money to spend! If you don't give it, I'll sell all your land, horses, and knives!" ”

The guests laughed and leaned back.

"Hey, you ruined!" Qin Mubai feigned anger and said, "If you dare to do this, my Qin family's daughter-in-law, see if my mother doesn't teach you a lesson!" ”

Princess Gaoyang grinned and stuck out her tongue, hurriedly flashed to Qin's mother's side and grabbed her elbow, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is reluctant to teach me a lesson, I don't know how filial she is!" ”

After laughing, Su Dingfang and other guests came forward to congratulate Qin Mubai on being crowned the king of the county. Qin Mubai hurriedly replied and made a mess again.

Only then did Qin Bin come forward to meet Qin's mother, and kowtowed on his knees to fulfill his full salute.

Shuang'er was naturally happy to see the second brother, so she said: "It's not easy for the second brother to come to Zhaowu Kingdom, so I have to stay for a while before leaving." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Fool may have to live here for a year or two." Qin Bin said, "Your Majesty decreed that the third brother be crowned king, and ordered me to build a palace for the third brother in Gongyue City, and select food and land properties. These things can't be done in a year or two. ”

"Really? That's great! Shuang'er said happily, "When will the big brother come?" ”

Qin Bin shook his head: "Your eldest brother, you have gone down with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to conquer Liaodong." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

Qin Mubai also heard it clearly, and stepped forward and said, "Second brother, you said that the eldest brother went to Liaodong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Qin Bin nodded, and then told Qin Mubai and others in detail about Li Ke's appointment as the crown prince and the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

Samad was built more than 12,000 miles away from Chang'an, and the exchange of information was not very convenient. So much so that today, Qin Mubai, Su Dingfang and others learned of such a major event.

After listening to Qin Bin's words, Qin Mubai fell into silence for a long time, cut his hands behind his back, and walked out alone. I thought all the way and walked all the way, and unconsciously walked to the banquet venue.

"Li Ke has finally become the crown prince, and the future of Datang is clear." He pondered, "Looking around the Tang Dynasty, there is only one Goguryeo left, like a clown jumping off the beam, often making trouble. It is only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty uses troops in Liaodong. Presumably, Xue Rengui and all my brothers from the Kansai Army went together. Li Ke is in command, supplemented by Li Tao and Li Daozong, plus Xue Rengui and the hundred battles of our Guanxi Army, it will definitely be no problem to take Goguryeo! ——After this battle, Li Ke not only had to establish his prestige and popularity in the army, but also to build a military team to protect himself. With the support of the army, he will be as stable as Mount Tai when he ascends the throne in the future! …… Yes, yes! ”

When he suddenly came back to his senses, Qin Mubai saw a family behind him, and more than a hundred guests such as Su Dingfang, all of whom looked at him quietly.

"I'm sorry, I lost my mind." Qin Mubai hurriedly apologized, raised a glass of wine, and said loudly, "Come, today's number of joys is coming, let's have a toast together-mother, today is the day of your suffering, and the child also respects you!" ”

Everyone raised their wine glasses with a smile, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Don't call the prince, the prince, I'm not used to it, and the pressure is also very high!" ”

"Haha!"

In the laughter, everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Qin Bin deliberately poured a glass of wine and walked up to Qin Mubai and said, "Third brother, today is your birthday, and the foolish brother wants to toast you." Thank you for everything you have done for the Qin family and Datang! ”

"Thank you, second brother!" Qin Mubai gladly accepted and drank a cup with Qin Bin.

"Third brother, do you know? Now, you're a legend. Qin Bin smiled and said, "In Chang'an, whether it is the court army or the ordinary alleys and alleys, your deeds are circulating. ”

"Countless literati and writers have written you into psalms for posterity;"

"In the lobby of the main hall of the Hundred Cavalry Prison, in addition to the mercury wall hanging that still retains the unicorn swallowing sun, it is even more respectful to you. But the first thing that comes to joining the Hundred Horsemen is to worship you, the first Hundred Horsemen; ”

"During the New Year's holidays, in addition to sticking the door god on the door, the people of Chang'an should also pay tribute to the image of your ancestral hall and pray for peace in the house."

"The place where the statue of the three fairies is placed in front of the 'Qin Immortal Pavilion' restaurant in Chang'an, a statue of you Fuqin has been added, which is more than twice as large as the statue of the three fairies, and it is a famous spot in Chang'an, which is for people to see."

Speaking of this, Qin Bin couldn't help but smile, and continued: "Even a place like the Fence Prostitute has to pay tribute to you. It seems that if you don't do this, it seems that the store here is not high-grade and not full of style. ”

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Then I'm really busy." ”

Yuwen Hongtai grinned and said stupidly: "Third brother, I know why those prostitutes want to pay tribute to you." ”

"You stupid black must have no good words, don't say it!" Qin Mubai scolded angrily.

"I won't listen to you this time, I'm going to say it." Yuwen Hongtai drank a few sips of yellow soup, and he was a little fearless, and said loudly with a bad smile, "You say, my third brother is so handsome, and he has married so many beautiful wives, and he doesn't make all the men in the world envy him to death?" ——Those old bustards who set up a fence brothel are also smart, they want the guests who go in to enjoy the treatment of my third brother! You say, yes and no? ”

"Haha! ——”

The guests in the room laughed and leaned back and fell into a mess.

"You fool, you're so open-mouthed!" Qin Mubai feigned anger, "Come on, get this guy drunk on me, then strip off his clothes and throw him on the street, let him run naked!" ”

"Haha! - Order! Su Dingfang, Zhu Bancheng and the others rushed to Yuwen Hongtai's side together, and said with a malicious smile, "Hongtai, don't blame us." The prince has an order to get you drunk and then let you run naked, we have to start from ah! ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yuwen Hongtai was already half drunk, and said staggeringly, "I have been with the third brother for so many years, what scene have I never seen, do you need to scare me?" Get drunk and run, what are you afraid of! - Come, drink!! ”

Qin Mubai watched them huddle together and play with each other, and smiled, laughing so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"Mu Bai, I toast you." Chen Yan walked up to him, held a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Today is a good day for you." No matter how many unhappy things have happened before, everything has passed. From today onwards, you want to be healthy, safe, happy, and happy! - Your blessing is the blessing of all of us! ”

"Thank you, Yeon." Qin Mubai raised his glass, "I also want to thank you for everything you have silently done for me over the years." ”

"We also come to pay tribute to you!" Princess Gaoyang and Mingzhu stepped forward together, "Mu Bai, we wish you every day in the future, as happy and carefree as today!" - What about Mei Niang? ”

Wu Meiniang was entertaining the ministers of Zhaowu Kingdom, and was called by Princess Gaoyang at this time, "Hurry up Meiniang, let's toast Mu Bai together!" ”

Wu Meiniang picked up a glass of wine and said to Qin Mubai: "Mubai, I want to tell you a word from my heart today." In fact, I am a very small person, and it is hard for me to imagine that I would share you as a man with so many sisters, and still be so uncomplaining. I don't even remember when I fell in love with you. All I know is ...... In this life, you are my first man, and you will be my last! In Wu Zhao's heart, you are the only one, and you will never be replaced! ”

"Thank you, Mei Niang...... There are also Yeon, Gaoyang, and Mingzhu. In fact, sometimes I feel that I am a bad man, I am too careful, and I am sorry for you. Qin Mubai raised his glass and said, "I already owe it to all of you. Therefore, I can only spend the rest of my life treating you well. Whether or not I can do my best, I don't know. I can only promise – I'll do my best! ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Mu Bai, you are like this, you never talk full, and you have a glimmer of leeway in everything you do." ”

"Yes, how cunning!" Princess Gaoyang said with a pout, "Today in front of my mother-in-law and the full house, I want you to make an oath!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled: "What oath?" ”

"It's—I said it before!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly put down her wine glass, pointed at Qin Mubai with one hand on her waist and the other on her waist, posed in that classic 'teapot shape', and said in a loud voice, "From now on, the Qin family can't add more women!" ”

"Hahaha-" The room burst into laughter again. Even Qin's mother laughed.

"Look at you, you're playing treasure in public again, and you're amusing everyone!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Princess Gaoyang was also quite embarrassed, and after laughing for a while, she deliberately grimaced: "You say that you don't agree to make this oath!" ”

"Okay, I'll stand!" Qin Mubai raised his hand and said to the heavens, "The sky is above, I, Qin Mubai, hereby swear - in the future, except for the women who love each other deeply and the women I owe something, I, Qin Mubai, will never marry any more women to enter the door!" Okay, right? ”

"I ...... I—I'm going to faint! Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes very unladylikely, "What is the difference between your vow and not?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "At least I won't go to the land of fireworks and willows, and I won't take the initiative to mess with flowers and grass everywhere." ”

Chen Yan smiled: "Princess, you can rest assured!" There is also a reason why Mu Bai made such an oath. Have you forgotten Li Xueyan and the two of them? ”

After that, Chen Yan pulled over the Lantai sisters who had been standing silently next to her, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law has given an order, let Mu Bai marry their sisters as soon as possible, do you have any opinions?" Over the years, they have followed Mu Bai from birth to death, and they have always protected the Qin family's family without regrets. If it weren't for their dedication and hard work to protect the Qin family, it is still unknown whether we can reunite here today! ”

Princess Gao Yang's face suddenly became bitter, "There are two more...... Woo! I can't even divide the pillows! ”

"Ahem!" Qin Mubai coughed dryly and said, "Or, let's draw lots?" ”

"you!" And all the daughters rebuked together.

……

Su Dingfang was drinking wine on the couch not far away, seeing the women of the Qin family "besieging" Qin Mubai there, he couldn't help but smile at Qin Bin: "It seems that Mubai's glass of wine is not easy to drink!" ”

Qin Bin also smiled: "My third brother is romantic by nature, and he has an excellent relationship with women. But what is rare is that he has recruited a bunch of women at home, but he can be safe. This has to be admired! ”

"This romance is a grand sight!" Su Dingfang said with a smile, "Presumably now, Chang'an is also circulating a lot of his romances, right?" ”

"It's not just a rumor, it's almost a legend." Qin Bin said with a smile, "Whether it's a rhyme or a great achievement, in short, my third brother deserves the word 'romantic person'." He is destined to leave a name in history, be heard in future generations, and become a legend! ”

"That's right, that's right......" Su Dingfang raised a glass of wine, looked at Qin Mubai, who was surrounded by Wu Meiniang and others not far away, and said meaningfully, "This romance is legendary!" ”

.

[End of the book]

.

A few digressions!

"The Romance of Chang'an" is finished, the new book is under review, and it will be seen with you soon. Stay tuned, thank you!

"The Romance of Chang'an", written for two years, is finally over. The book is nearly 2.5 million words, and I typed out two keyboards - maybe I bought a knockoff!

700 days and nights, the completion of a book, I also experienced a life.

Thank you to every book friend for your silent protection and continued support when I broke off and was at a low ebb. Without you, there would be no successful conclusion of "The Romance of Chang'an" today.

When I typed the words "the whole book is finished", I lit a cigarette and was silent for a long time, as if I had a thousand words, but I couldn't say it. I think this is probably the same as Qin Mubai's mood when he left Lanzhou.

To paraphrase a famous sentence - why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love "Chang'an" deeply!

Finally, thank you to all the book friends who have laughed, scolded, angry, happy, sad, confused, emotional, excited, angry, domineering and regretted, and shed tears with Mu Bai.

This romance is legendary.

It's made by us, together!
