Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Goodbye, Mama Mei
After getting off the carriage, Qin Mubai walked into the Pingyao Little Building alone. Listening to the name, it was similar to Chang’an’s Ge Wan Land. After coming here, you can drink tea and listen to music. Three friends and two friends can drink two cups of wine while chanting romantic songs. Naturally, romantic affairs will not happen when the wine is drunk.

To put it bluntly, this was the “nightclub” with the characteristics of the Great Tang. However, there wasn’t that much noise and miasma, and the overall atmosphere was usually elegant and fragrant.

Just as Qin Mubai walked in, a forty-year-old Xu Niang walked towards him. Her eyes were filled with innumerable people. However, she glanced at Qin Mubai as if she could see that his background was not simple. She hurriedly bowed to the side and asked with a slightly warmer expression, “The distinguished guests are here. I wonder if Young Master wants to drink tea or listen to music?”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but smile. This really has its own rules. Whether it’s Chang’an or Jiangzhou, Ge Wan’s rules are roughly the same. Ask whether you want to drink tea or listen to music first–if you want to drink tea, you should naturally prepare a poem by a friend of the sect; If he listened to the music, it would be for the sake of romance. As the saying goes, this woman saw Qin Mubai enter alone. No wonder she suspected that he was here to hunt for sex.

“Neither. I’m looking for someone.” Qin Mubai said, “May I ask the shopkeeper if any guests from Chang’an are staying here today?”

The woman smiled and said, “Young Master’s question is interesting. There are many distinguished guests from the capital in the small building. May I know who you are looking for?”

Anyone who does business in this line of business has a custom of keeping a secret from their guests. If anyone was to be found here by his wife and family, it would not be good. It would also be disadvantageous if a vengeful and troublesome business took place in this shop. Qin Mubai also knew that if it wasn’t for the acquaintance of the shopkeeper, it wouldn’t have been possible to find someone in such a place without much effort.

“I’m looking for Chang’an Wu Zhao.” Qin Mubai took out a small ingot of gold and gave it to her. Copper coins were very heavy. Although gold and silver weren’t the main currency in circulation in the Great Tang, Qin Mubai had always been used to carrying a little with him in case of emergencies.

When the woman saw this gold ingot, she did not change her expression as if it were dung. She only smiled and said, “Young Master, you misunderstood. There is no one called Wu Zhao staying in this store. No matter how much gold and silver you give me, you will not be able to produce one for Young Master out of thin air.”

Qin Mubai smiled and took out a token. “Do you know what this is?”

The woman’s expression changed slightly. She carefully sized up the token and stared at Qin Mubai in shock. She muttered, “I’ve run Little Building for many years, and I’ve seen many tokens in various official circles, but I’ve never seen a Qilin token … May I ask where Young Master Gao is?”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, “Dark Dragon, you actually took the token backwards!” I forgot for a moment, how could such a short-sighted woman from such a remote place recognize this Qilin Token?

“Then look at this side again!” Qin Mubai flipped the token over and inscribed a five-clawed golden dragon on his back with the golden words “As if I respectfully kissed you, do as you please”-the Hundred Cavalry Envoy token!

“Heavens!” The woman’s expression instantly changed. She stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes and whispered in panic, “This, what kind of token is this? Could it be that you can go wherever His Majesty the Emperor can go?”

“I can only casually walk around the palace.” Qin Mubai smiled.

This woman has been in charge of this famous Wind Moon Farm in Jiangzhou for many years, and she has seen the world before. If she encountered a governor, she might not panic. However, she couldn’t help but tremble and hurriedly said, “Young Master, wait a moment, this lowly one will immediately go and invite Chang’an Martial Zhao to come!”

“No need. Lead the way.” Qin Mubai put away the token and sneered, “The token of the dragon is useful now. It will save me money.” In a small Jiangzhou region, even a rank four secretariat master would have to kneel down obediently when he saw this token. I really respect you, Pingyao Xiaozhu.

The woman brought Qin Mubai through an exquisite and graceful building railing. There were no lack of beautiful women who had encountered or refined them. When all the women walked past Qin Mubai, they intentionally or unintentionally looked at him a few more times. Occasionally, they even smiled charmingly and were extremely ambiguous.

Qin Mubai smiled. The women here were pretty pretty good, and their kung fu was not bad. However, compared to Chang’an, there was still a gap. After all, the grade was different.

The two walked to a quiet and luxurious pavilion. The woman knocked lightly on the door and said, “Owner, there is a guest visiting for you.”

“Boss?” Qin Mubai was slightly stunned.

A female voice replied, “The host has just fallen asleep. If there is a vulgar guest, ask him to come back later.”

“This” The woman looked back at Qin Mubai in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and pushed open the door with one hand. It was just a false cover, so he said, “Wake up your boss. Tell him that your boss is here.”

“Ah?!” The woman beside Qin Mubai cried out in alarm and looked at Qin Mubai blankly.

The same shocked exclamation came from the back room. Immediately, someone said, “Why don’t you open the door and let him in?”

It was indeed Wu Meiniang’s voice!

When the door was opened, Qin Mubai saw Wu Meiniang lying lazily under the bed, leaning sideways with her hands, her shoulders curving up and down from shoulder to buttocks. She wore a luxurious mink robe with a pink robe and cloth, pasted with long earrings. Her hair was in a bun, her breasts half exposed and covered with a golden vine necklace. Yong Yong’s luxurious clothes were even more charming and charming, with a trace of seductive allure.

“It’s still that kind of beauty.” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh secretly as he walked in. The maid who opened the door tactfully retreated and hastily closed the door.

The woman who led the way pulled the maid aside and whispered, “Who is this person? It seems that he is not from a small background.”

“You should stop asking. This servant needs to have the manners of a servant. Don’t inquire about the master’s affairs!”

In the room, Wu Meiniang was still lying on her back. Her phoenix eyes slightly shifted as she looked at Qin Mubai with a radiant gaze. She smiled as if she wasn’t smiling, but also as if she was angry and resentful. She just didn’t say anything.

“Why are you looking at me like this?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh, “After a few months, can it be that you still don’t recognize me?”

“I’m afraid I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes, right?” Wu Meiniang smiled and sat up to stretch her waist. Immediately, the two peaks straightened up, and the ditch in the middle became even more profound.

For more than half a year, she seemed to have grown more and more mature. The originally charming and alluring her now had more mature charm. It was like a ripe peach hanging on the tip of a leaf, rippling in the wind, waiting to be picked.

Qin Mubai scanned her from beginning to end and couldn’t help but laugh, “I don’t know you anymore. Half a year ago, you were just a teenage girl like a little sister in the clan, and in the blink of an eye, you became a big boss in charge of everyone’s business. When did you accept this Pingyao Xiaozhu?”

“The day before yesterday.” Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “I came to Jiangzhou without a single person paying attention to me, so I had to find a place to stay.” When they arrived at Zhou City, they patrolled left and right, only to find that the surroundings here were relatively quiet, so they moved in. “It’s a pity that so many common people are so annoying. I bought this place on the spur of the moment, so that it won’t be able to run the Wind Moon business anymore. It’s only for tea, wine, poems, and songs. It’s like the number one wine in the world.”

“Your attack is quite big.” Qin Mubai said, “Pingyao Xiaozhu, a mere prefecture city, you bought it like an ordinary person who bought a hairpin at a market. Why did you suddenly think of Jiangzhou to donate money to relieve the disaster and appease the people?”

Wu Meiniang stood up and cut her hands. Wan’er smiled, her smile somewhat mysterious.

“I knew you would come, and I knew you would ask.”

“How can I see it?” This time, Qin Mubai was puzzled. He couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Could it be that you have also learned the technique of winning against the Fu Mei? Can you not be a prophet if you can control it?”

“How can I be so capable!” Wu Meiniang sighed and smiled, a little self-pity, half joking and half serious. “I have a monarch in my heart, but I have no monarch in my heart.”

Qin Mubai frowned and suddenly understood. “Did you come to Jishan County to look for me first?” He asked.

“Otherwise, how would I know that you and Chu Suiliang have gone to the Jiang Xia King’s mansion in Jin Zhou to be guests?” Wu Meiniang paced up and down, her head slightly lowered, her chest raised, and she said faintly, “The land of Jin and Jiang Pu Continents, together with one body, is respected by the king of Jiangxia.” As a nameless merchant from a small county in Bing Zhou, I naturally do not dare to go to the Prince’s Mansion to look for someone. When he was disappointed and was about to return to Bingzhou Wenshui’s hometown, he suddenly saw the victims of Jishan Mountain. The sergeant’s clothes and grass were poor, so he felt pity and decided to donate some money to them, which could be considered as accumulating some sinister virtue. No one had expected that good intentions would not necessarily lead to good deeds. The people of Jishan County said that they didn’t dare to accept gifts without the warrant from the higher-ups. If I want to donate money and things, I have to ask for permission from Chu Suiliang or you. “I have to come to Jiangzhou to find Chu Suiliang!”

“If you have compassion, then you can attack Titanic Ten Thousand. Your current style is truly not small.” Qin Mubai sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, saying, “Mother Mei, there’s no need to pretend to be in front of me, is there?” You came here to donate for the sake of obtaining the approval of the Imperial Court and bestowing you a title such as Great Tang Righteous Merchant, so that you can be a better merchant in the future. At the same time, such a businessman will be free from the shadow of being treated with disdain, and you will become a celebrity in the business world in the future, and you will be heard by the government and the public. ”

“Yes, I came up with the same idea afterwards.” Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and didn’t deny it. She said bluntly, “But I didn’t think about it before I came to Jishan. I came to see you on purpose.” Qin Mubai, I’m willing to ask you to have a bit of a good conscience. Jiang Zhou Jishan was no farther from Bing Zhou Wenshui than from Jin Zhou City. You can go to the Prince’s Mansion to attend a banquet, but you can’t come to Wen Shui to see me? The last time I was molested by Han King Li Yuanchang, you didn’t even say a word, and you didn’t even see anyone. “What kind of face and qualifications do you have to be a husband?”

Qin Mubai’s movements slightly paused. He put down his teacup with a calm smile and looked at Wu Meiniang with a smile. “Meiniang, it seems that there are many gaps and misunderstandings between us. Before explaining, I want to know why you came to Jishan to find me.”

The corner of Wu Meiniang’s lips curled into a strange chuckle. She put her hands on her lower abdomen and took a few steps forward. She said leisurely, “I’m here to ask for a divorce certificate from you.”
