Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Virtuous Helper
Wu Meiniang did not leave the cave for a long time, so Xue Rengui naturally did not want to go back to ask or find out. She could only patiently stand in the courtyard and chat with Qin Mubai. The other attendants were standing outside the courtyard to take care of the horses.

“Brother Xue, how have you been lately?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Thanks to General Hongfu, everything is fine.” Xue Rengui replied politely with a smile on her face.

The scenery of his ancestors, the tribulations he had experienced since he was young, and his current miserable life not only urged Xue Rengui to be ambitious and diligent, but also allowed him to cultivate an introverted and calm personality that was neither spoiled nor embarrassed, nor filled with joy or anger.

“Brother Xue, it’s an exception to speak like this.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “You and I are of the same generation. We only know each other in terms of age, regardless of our background and position. I have thrown in a good life in a prestigious clan, but I am not as talented as Brother Xue. Brother Xue, Hidden Dragon, has great ambitions in the Abyss. In the future, his accomplishments will definitely surpass mine Qin.”

“General, you’re making fun of me. Do you have any ambitions?” Xue Rengui laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “What I think every day is that I can shoot a few more geese and sell them for money to exchange for some oil rice to feed my wife and children.”

Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly. “Is Sister-in-law pregnant?”

“General is kind and meticulous. Exactly.”

“Congratulations Brother Xue on becoming a father!” Qin Mubai laughed loudly. “For a man, becoming a father is a completely different life. Brother Xue will definitely be lucky in the future and live a good life.”

“I don’t dare to hope so much. I only hope for the safety of my family.” Xue Rengui smiled warmly and contentedly and said, “Although a family is poor, there are no males who commit crimes and no females who marry again. If our ancestors have accumulated virtue and inherited our Xue family’s heritage, I will be satisfied.”

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled as she thought to herself, “Obviously, this is not what Xue Rengui meant.” He was implicitly revealing to me his intention of not wanting to become an official again. He was cautious, but before I could say anything, he came to seal my mouth in advance. I’m too anxious to eat hot tofu, so I won’t mention it. Let’s see how you do … We’ll talk about it later depending on the situation with Wu Meiniang.

“Yes, peace is the greatest blessing.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Even if you are sitting on a golden mountain or an Extreme Minister, it is not as real as peace. Brother Xue has already comprehended the true meaning of life.”

“Haha, this is funny.” Xue Rengui chatted so much that her snacks weren’t wilting, and she glanced at the cave from time to time.

Qin Mubai knew what he was thinking. After all, it was inevitable that he was a little worried about letting an unfamiliar woman into his room to be alone with his pregnant wife. So he called out, “Mother Mei, we have to go!”

“General, why are you in such a hurry to leave? If you don’t mind, you can sit in the humble house for a while and wait for a pot of wild goose stew to taste. I have also beaten a fat roe deer today, and can also roast it together to serve wine.” Seeing that Qin Mubai had seen through Xue Rengui’s thoughts, she felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly stayed behind.

“Sister-in-law is pregnant. Do we dare to trouble An?” Qin Mubai said, “We are only here to hunt. I remember Brother Xue from here, so we came to visit. Please forgive us for disturbing us.”

This time, Xue Rengui was a little shocked. He thought that Qin Mubai would come back again because of the old matter and ask him to become an official. Unexpectedly, he was just passing by in a hurry … If he had done that before, it would have made him seem a little self-absorbed.

As she spoke, Wu Meiniang and Madam Liu walked out together. Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui couldn’t help but be stunned-why were they still holding hands like a pair of close sisters? How long had he known each other?

“Hehe, Big Brother Xue, Mubai, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “Don’t mind, Big Brother Xue, your wife can’t be lost, hehe!”

“Miss, you’re joking.” Xue Rengui blushed and smiled awkwardly.

“Big Sister Liu, don’t forget!” Wu Meiniang smiled mysteriously at Madam Liu, as if she still held her hand reluctantly and said, “I will always be waiting for you in Jishan County!”

“Don’t worry, Miss Wu. I definitely won’t break my promise.” Madam Liu smiled gratefully and nodded at Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai smiled and nodded in return. He cupped his fists at Xue Rengui and said, “Goodbye, Brother Xue.”

“Alright, let’s go.” Xue Rengui clasped his fists and greeted him with astonishment. In just a short while, what did this little girl say to my wife? It was as if there was an agreement between the two of them? Strange …

“Hehe, goodbye! Let’s go, Mubai!” After saying that, Wu Meiniang let go of Madam Liu’s hand and walked to Qin Mubai’s side. Naturally, she held Qin Mubai’s elbow proudly.

“Alright, let’s go.” The two of them walked side by side and rode their horses out of the courtyard. Wu Meiniang was still on the horse and shouted, “I’m leaving, Big Sister Liu! Remember, I’ll wait for you!”

“Definitely. It’s easy for you to leave, young lady. Take care!” Madam Liu walked to the courtyard door and waved his hand, reluctantly sending Qin Mubai and the others off to the corner of the village path.

“Eh, what did you say to that little girl just now?” Xue Rengui finally couldn’t hold back any longer and asked.

“Come with me into the room and tell you in detail!” Madam Liu was very excited and excited. He pulled Xue Rengui into the room.

On the other side, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang walked side by side, laughing loudly.

“Haha, Mother Mei, you are truly talented!” Qin Mubai laughed loudly, “How did you think of inviting the Liu Clan to Chang’an? This is simply capturing a thief and capturing a king, and using all your strength to go up to the art of war!”

“Hehe! This is called prescribing the right medicine. How can people in the business not understand this?” Wu Meiniang said proudly, “If you want to earn money from others, you must first know what they need.” It was the same for lobbyists. I inquired about the situation of their family and found out that Madam Liu was pregnant and living in a difficult situation. Just imagine, even if Xue Rengui could endure poverty and Madam Liu had no regrets, how could they bear to let their imminent child suffer? Parents’ hearts were like this! So I took the right medicine and tried to persuade her to do something, so that I could make things easier for her. If they could easily support their families, it would be a normal meal for them. Rengui Xue is arrogant and doesn’t want to yield to you, so Madam Liu doesn’t think so. She is a kind and honest person, and if I give her any kindness, she will repay me a hundredfold in gratitude. “Although I don’t want to repay you for your kindness, it’s also kind of me to try to persuade them to come to Chang’an, isn’t it?”

“Indeed.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Earlier, I really underestimated you. To be able to manage the number one liquor in the world so well and run the mall so well, you are indeed outstanding. Mother Mei, Mother Mei, I won’t be willing to ignore you in the future. Not only are you my future wife, you are also my little Zhuge!”

“Hehe, you’re so happy before things are done.” Even so, Wu Meiniang was overflowing with joy. She said, “Now, it’s only waiting for Madam Liu to convince Xue Rengui.” From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like a problem. Mubai, I advise you not to be in a hurry to get Rengui Xue to agree to take office immediately. Let’s take it step by step. Let’s settle down Madam Liu first and not worry about Xue Rengui coming. As long as Xue Rengui comes to Chang’an, there will be a great opportunity for him to play along with you. “As long as we act with reason, understanding, and sincerity, Xue Rengui will sooner or later figure it out and be happy to follow you.”

“I’m not following you. I’m fighting side by side.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “With my current status and Baiji’s influence in the military court, countless people have dreamed of joining.” If I only have one follower, why bother? Xue Rengui was indeed a rare talent. But I can only lead him on the road, and it’s up to him to decide what to do in the future. Of course, the best situation is that I can have a confidant who treats each other with all his heart in the future. Xue Rengui is a low-key, steady, and honest person. He is a friend worth making. ”

“Madam Liu is also not bad. He is a kind person. Both of them are worthy friends.” Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “Mubai, I can see that you’re a little thirsty. Don’t you feel lonely after being an official for a long time without any help?”

“A little.” Qin Mubai chuckled and said, “A lot of things have happened in the past six months, and I have been overwhelmed by them one after another.” Whenever I face trouble, I face it alone. Although there was nothing to be afraid of, after many times, he would always feel a little tired. Moreover, I had to do everything myself, and it was very exhausting and exhausting. Take the matter with Han King Li Yuanchang for example. At that time, I was powerless in the harem avatar. I didn’t want to find someone worthy of my trust to help you or comfort you. I’ve been wondering since then how nice it would be if I had a good brother who could help me with something. ”

“How about your big brother, second brother, and the others?” Wu Meiniang said, “They often go to the number one wine in the world for two drinks. I have some contact with them, but they don’t know each other very well.”

“They are all very good people, but their abilities are also very limited. Moreover, the Qin Family has strict family rules. My father has always demanded that we not be arrogant and domineering outside relying on the influence of the family. Therefore, my two first-in-law brothers are usually very low-key and cautious. They are both people who take a step back and are indifferent to others.” Qin Mubai sighed softly. “It’s fine to run a family business with them, but we can’t expect them to be of much help at the critical moment. In fact, the Qin Family has been on the decline since my father retired from the temple due to illness. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to listen to my pipa music, it would have been three to five years since the Emperor came to our Qin Family’s door.”

“It’s like this … In other words, if the Qin Clan wants to flourish now, they still have to rely on you? How tired is that!” Wu Meiniang frowned worriedly and said.

“Haha, a man should be a little responsible. It doesn’t matter if he is tired. As long as he achieves something.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Actually, my luck is pretty good. I’ve always been very satisfied. Compared to Xue Rengui, I’m more than a hundred times stronger, right? Also, my Mother Beauty is not something an ordinary woman can compare to! In the future, you will definitely be an unparalleled sage helper.”

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to learn to flatter!”

“Which official doesn’t flatter me?”

“Keke, I like it. Keep shooting!” Wu Meiniang laughed heartily.

“Alright, I’ll take it!” Qin Mubai laughed loudly and slapped Wu Meiniang’s horse on the buttocks. The horse was shocked and scattered its hooves before running away.

“Mubai, you big scoundrel, let’s see if I don’t bite you later!”

As the aftermath echoed, Wu Meiniang rode forward and rushed forward. Qin Mubai and the others laughed heartily and immediately rode their horses to chase after him. A group of people hurriedly landed at Xue Rengui’s house, then headed towards the mountains to hunt.
