Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 100
Chapter 100 Voice Of Heaven
Qin Mubai stayed at home quietly.
Three consecutive days passed. He did not leave the house at all. Every day, he practiced martial arts and chess with his father, chatted with his mother and sister, and enjoyed the joy of family.
Ever since she had gathered with Li Ke and Princess Gao Yang at Yao’er’s house last time, Qin Shuang’er had run to the Li Chen Residence in less than five minutes, and she had also obtained Qin Shu Bao’s permission and support. There, she helped Yao’er take care of those young orphans and taught them how to play zither, weiqi, calligraphy and painting, making the life of a blind woman like Yao’er much easier and more interesting.
Of course, Qin Shuang’er’s other purpose in going there was to have a chance to meet Li Ke. As Li Ke had promised, he sent some soldiers from the royal palace to secretly protect them. Every once in a while, he would go to the Li Chen Residence to greet Yao’er and the orphans, and to meet Qin Shuang’er.
On the fourth day, Qin Mubai was a little bored at home and panicked. In addition, the weather on this day was very good. The sun hid in the clouds and the cold wind was practicing. It was a good time to travel because of the scene of the coming autumn.
Thus, Qin Mubai led her sister out to play together. The destination was naturally the Dust Leaving Residence.
The two siblings did not settle down the carriage. Instead, they rode Qin Mubai’s Fire Cloud Beautiful Horse together. Soon, their fast horses arrived at the remote outskirts of Qujiang Square and knocked on the wooden door of Yao’er’s house.
When Qin Mubai arrived, he noticed that a few small houses had been built not far from here, like the temporary residences of woodcutters and fishermen. When the Qin Mubai siblings rode their horses over, it was clear that someone was watching closely.
Needless to say, these people were the guards Li Ke had arranged here, and they were well hidden. Qin Mubai, a soldier from the Wu Palace, knew all of them. In addition, Shuang’er was a regular guest, so they didn’t come out.
The two six or seven-year-old girls who came to open the door greeted Qin Shuang’er happily. They pulled her left and right and walked into the room, but they ignored Qin Mubai, a rare guest. Because it was still early and the world’s number one wine was not open yet, Yao’er happened to be at home. Receiving the Qin siblings, he was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly prepared refreshments and hospitality.
After a while, Qin Mubai asked Yao’er, “Yao’er, have any strangers been here these past few days?”
“No!” Yao’er shook her head. “Although I am often away during the day, there is never a shortage of people at home. If strangers come, I will definitely know.”
“Oh, it’s fine.” Qin Mubai thought. It seemed that Pang Fei hadn’t come yet, which meant that everything in the palace was safe and sound. Not surprisingly, since Li Shimin had deliberately cooled things down, he wouldn’t make any big moves at such a sensitive moment. Probably, he would also give Princess Gaoyang some time to adjust her mood. Only when the storm gradually subsided would the marriage be put back on the agenda.
Actually, the reason why Qin Mubai purposely left behind such a move before he left was because he was worried that Princess Gaoyang would lose her composure and act recklessly. Everything seems to be fine now.
In the morning, Qin Mubai was a spectator at the Li Chen Residence, admiring Yao’er and Shuang’er teaching these orphans how to read, write, chess, zither, calligraphy and painting. At noon, Qin Shuang’er insisted on personally cooking for a while. She was held back by Qin Mubai and was only allowed to help Yao’er wash and chop vegetables. If she showed her world-shocking cooking skills, she didn’t know how she would poison the “fragile” girls in front of her. As a result, Yao’er cooked. She was blind, but her mind was exquisite. She relied entirely on her hands to grope for a delicious and sumptuous meal.
Qin Shuang’er shouted loudly, shouting that she wanted to learn from her teacher, which really amused everyone.
After staying here for a long time, Qin Mubai felt his mood completely relaxed. The women in the Residence of Li Chen had no blood relationship with each other, but they were even closer to each other than their relatives. Love each other, mutual help and respect, the atmosphere of the whole big family is warm and peaceful. Compared to the palace where Yun Bo was treacherous, dangerous, and hidden, and even indifferent to his family, this place was indeed a paradise-like existence.
Everyone here was like an angel. And Yao’er was undoubtedly the core of this group of angels. Although her eyes were blind, her mind was clearer and clearer than anyone else. Although she entered and left the Feng Yue Huan Arena, she was as clean as a clear lotus.
From time to time, Qin Mubai wondered if the only good thing I had done since I came to the Great Tang was to help Yao’er that day.
Is this really intentional to plant flowers, carelessly intervene in the willow tree into the shade.
I tried hard to do good things, but I couldn’t do it well. It was like being my general and managing my life’s glory step by step. I didn’t think of anyone provoking me or doing anything bad, but there were endless troubles coming to provoke me. I couldn’t help but retaliate. I had no choice but to deepen the castle and even become sinister. I don’t know when I will really become a demon and become a true monster.
However, he had inadvertently helped Yao’er a little, but he had given this world a paradise and a group of angels.
Things in this world were truly wonderful.
In the afternoon, it was the usual time to rest. As usual, Yao’er should go to the number one wine in the world, and the wine shop also sent a carriage to pick her up. The coachman who picked up Yao’er was the waiter in the shop. He had seen Qin Mubai several times and recognized him. Yao’er said that Master Teacher would be resting for a day today. Without saying anything else, the waiter happily promised to convey it to the shopkeeper, and even deliberately came to serve Qin Mubai for a long time.
After he finished speaking, Qin Mubai asked, “Little Second Brother, did your boss come back?”
“Young Master Qin is asking which owner?” The waiter was confused for a moment.
“How many owners do you have for Number One Wine in the world?” Qin Mubai asked.
“Uh … Wu Dong Clan, Zheng Dong Clan. Two!” The waiter raised his finger and said blankly.
“Then I’m asking them. Wu Meiniang from Wu Dong Clan and Zheng Anshun from Zheng Dong Clan.” Qin Mubai said with a pun.
“Oh, this lowly one understands. If we return to Young Master Qin, the Wu Dong Clan is still in Bing Zhou and hasn’t returned to Chang’an. I don’t know why the Zheng Dong Clan never came to the restaurant a few days ago, but in the past two days, the other two Wu Dong Clans have invited him back.” The waiter said, “I have a good reason. This lowly servant is not very clear about it.”
After hearing this, Qin Mubai thought to himself, “It seems that Yin Yang and the others have already dealt with the Wu Yuanqing brothers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken the initiative to invite Zheng Anshun back obediently.” These two brothers are really a bit cheap. If you give them some color, they will open the dyeing room, but they won’t open it for three days. I owe you packing.
“Little Second Brother, remember this. There is only one owner of the number one wine in the world. Her name is Wu Meiniang.” Qin Mubai said, “Go back and tell Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang the’shopkeepers’. If there’s anything they don’t understand, come and find me.”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes. This lowly one will remember. Remember, I will definitely tell you the truth.” The waiter hurriedly cupped his hands and agreed. Actually, everyone in the world knew that although the owner of the restaurant was the Wu Family and the Zheng Family, Qin Mubai, who had never paid a penny, was the real “big owner” of the restaurant. Which of the two signboards of the restaurant-Qin Xianyu’s Imperial Wine and the Third Fairy’s Clear and Miao Pipa-wasn’t brought by him, Qin Mubai? Moreover, if it weren’t for Qin Mubai’s relationship with the famous Hundred Cavalry Emissary, how could the two main customers of the restaurant, Prince Wu and Prince Wei, take care of them?
The number one liquor in the world is now popular in Chang’an. It can be said to be the number one liquor and entertainment industry. However, once it left Qin Mubai, it was nothing.
Perhaps, the Wu brothers only now understood this truth, so they obediently invited Zheng Anshun back, and did not dare to tell the Qin family about the early marriage. Qin Mubai didn’t want to personally take action against people like the Wu brothers, and he didn’t have the slightest disdain to do so.
In the afternoon, the sound of the piano came from Li Chen’s residence. Everyone felt as if they were immersed in heaven, and unknowingly, time flew by. It was already evening.
A carriage rumbled into the courtyard and Li Ke came.
Qin Mubai smiled and greeted him, “Your Highness, I knew you would definitely come.”
“How can I see it?” Li Ke laughed heartily and jumped out of the carriage.
Qin Mubai nodded to the hidden soldiers and said, “With so many noses sniffing for you, you must be able to smell me … and the smell of Shuang’er!”
“Haha!” Li Ke laughed loudly, “I came here specially to listen to the piano music. Don’t misinterpret my meaning.”
After saying that, Li Ke walked forward affectionately and greeted Yao’er and the little girls. He was also considerate and brought a large bag of delicious snacks from the palace, which made a group of little girls cheer happily.
The four of them sat in the backyard like last time, except for Princess Gaoyang. However, everyone tacitly did not mention her name. During this period, they only talked about the world and played the zither and music, enjoying this relaxed and comfortable time.
Yao’er insisted on letting them eat dinner before leaving, so Qin Mubai and Li Ke did not refuse. They left Shuang’er in the kitchen to help, and the two walked to Hua Xi’s side.
“I didn’t expect things to be so big.” Li Ke suddenly said.
Qin Mubai naturally knew that he was referring to Princess Gao Yang. He curled his lips and helplessly shook his head, “I didn’t expect that either.”
“Speaking of which, it’s all because Gaoyang has been spoiled since he was young and his temper is too fierce.” Li Ke said, “Father Emperor has so many daughters, and she has so many royal sisters. Which marriage is not decided by father Emperor? She refuses to comply, alas …”
After a moment of silence, Qin Mubai said, “Actually, I understand Princess Gao Yang’s mood. Although she has a big temper, she has always been a straightforward and straightforward person who dares to love and hate. She doesn’t like Fang Yiai, so she would rather die than marry. It’s actually that simple.”
“On the other hand, if she likes you, she will definitely not marry you?” Li Ke asked.
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, “It’s best not to make such a joke.”
“It’s hard to say.” Li Ke’s expression was a little serious, not like a joke at all. He said, “I know this girl.” Although she is young, she is not ignorant of the affairs of men and women. You should always know that love is the most fanatical when it comes to the beginning of love. I watched her grow up, and no man ever made her treat you the way she treated you. So I think she really likes you a little. ”
Qin Mubai’s face involuntarily twitched. If that was the case, then it would be too tragic!
