Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Love Vacation
Within the cold mountain, Qin Mubai and his subordinates had shot down quite a few prey with their archery spells. Because Mama Mei was the first to bury the rabbit, they all tacitly agreed not to shoot those small animals. They specifically chose to shoot some badgers and deer like Zhangzi. At dusk, hunting came full of bags and returned on the setting sun.

“Mubai, shall we roast these hunting meat together later tonight? I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to drink some Qin Immortal wine today. Fortunately, I brought some with me.” Wu Meiniang asked expectantly.

Qin Mubai understood what she meant. She was simply asking herself to accompany her to dinner and spend more time with her. After thinking for a while, he said, “How about this. When we arrive in Jishan County, you guys go back to the villa inn first. I will quickly return to the barracks. Every evening, I have to deal with some military affairs and can’t be absent. I will come as soon as I’m done.”

“Alright!” Wu Meiniang smiled happily, her heart filled with sweetness. It was unknown when her own heart window had been opened to Qin Mubai. She remembered that when she first met Qin Mubai, she only thought that Qin Mubai was a good-looking and interesting man who could talk. Later on, Li Ke arranged for the two of them to get engaged. Wu Meiniang felt uncomfortable, as if she had been forced to sell him.

Although she didn’t hate Qin Mubai at that time and had a good impression of him, she couldn’t help but go against him under such a rebellious mentality. It was rare for her to give him a good face.

Later, because the Emperor interfered, the two of them had a complicated relationship, and their arranged marriage had also been greatly tested. After missing out on entering the palace and getting into trouble, Wu Meiniang became even angrier at Qin Mubai’s troubles, so she didn’t have a good impression of him. Although he was engaged, he treated him as his enemy in his heart.

However, ever since she managed the number one wine in the world, Wu Meiniang walked out of her boudoir and came into contact with the outside world. She saw more people of all shapes and sizes. Under the influence of Qin Mubai’s connections, the number one liquor business in the world was booming. At this moment, she felt that if a woman didn’t have a man like Qin Mubai standing behind her, it would be difficult for her to survive, let alone earn money from doing business. Since then, Wu Meiniang’s attitude towards Qin Mubai has changed. From his ignorant good impression of him, he had become somewhat dependent on him, but it could not be said how much he liked and attached to him.

As time went by, the two of them got along more and more. Wu Meiniang gradually accepted her fate. Especially after she started her business, she paid more attention to reality and began to consider taking the initiative to try to accept Qin Mubai. After this trial, she discovered that this man was actually quite good. Compared to many celebrities who came to the world to drink wine and boast of their kindness and fame, Qin Mubai, the great celebrity in front of the emperor, was more reliable than them.

Yes, you can count on it-this is Wu Meiniang’s most direct understanding of Qin Mubai.

No matter how capable a woman was, she still wanted to have a reliable man by her side, so that she wouldn’t feel that there was no bottom in her heart. When she was tired, she had a shoulder to lean on, and when she encountered trouble, someone would help her solve it.

This was a woman’s nature. Wu Meiniang, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, could not be changed. Even Wu Meiniang, who had become a queen in history, could not be changed.

As a result, Qin Mubai inadvertently barged into Wu Meiniang’s heart and occupied a relatively important position. Coupled with Wu Meiniang accepting that fate would become his wife sooner or later, she slowly turned her reliance on him into attachment and trust.

All of this was done in a subtle manner. Even Wu Meiniang herself did not realize when she had begun to value this man. It wasn’t until she realized that if Qin Mubai hadn’t come to the tavern to look for her for a while, she would have felt a little uneasy that she realized that she had inadvertently fallen in love with this man who had made him angry and even disgusted.

Afterwards, Li Yuanchang teased her and rumors about Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang spread. Wu Meiniang wanted to meet Qin Mubai, but she did not see anyone. Therefore, under the disappointment and disappointment, he left Chang’an and stayed in his hometown of Bing Zhou for several months. Afterwards, she heard that Qin Mubai and Li Ke had come to Jiangzhou together. She thought that if Qin Mubai was interested, he would definitely come to Wenshui’s hometown to take a look at her. If it was Ma Kuai, it would only be half a day’s journey. Unfortunately, she hadn’t waited.

Just like that, the greater her hope was, the greater her disappointment was, and she couldn’t help but think of a sudden idea–to make him cancel the engagement!

Actually, the reason why she did this was simply to provoke Qin Mubai and make her care more about herself!

Qin Mubai wrote down the divorce certificate. Only at this moment did Wu Meiniang feel that she could no longer leave this man. When she received the letter of divorce, she really felt that everything was over and there was nothing she could love anymore.

The power of first love is terrifying!

It can drive people crazy.

Not to mention, Wu Meiniang was a young girl who had just begun to fall in love and had no one to rely on.

Now that they were reunited, Wu Meiniang felt extremely fortunate. She rejoiced that she had found her most precious possession and did not lose it inadvertently.

Just as Qin Mubai had said, when an item possessed it, there might not be a special feeling. However, once he lost it, he would realize how important it was to him!

After experiencing a short loss, Wu Meiniang’s heart lingered in fear and she didn’t dare to try again. The thing she wanted to do the most now was to cherish, protect, manage, and enjoy this relationship with Qin Mubai as much as she could. Right now, and even in the future, she would not hesitate to hold it firmly in her hand, and would not relax at all.

…

When Jishan arrived, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang split up and agreed to gather at the villa to enjoy the campfire roast meat dinner.

Qin Mubai was delighted. It turned out that she could be so romantic in the Great Tang. Who says this can only be done on cruise ships, equestrian clubs and golf courses? Swallow’s nest has the taste of a swallow’s nest, eating too much is also greasy; The natural scallions and tofu flavors last longer.

At this time, Qin Mubai also began to examine her attitude towards Mama Tattoo. From the beginning, she only went forward to chat up and harass him out of her desire for beauty. He expected Li Ke to set up the marriage on his own, so he agreed to push the boat. In any case, there was no monogamy for men in the Great Tang. If a woman like Wu Meiniang missed it, there would be no second one.

In other words, from the beginning, Qin Mubai did not have much affection for Wu Meiniang.

But now, Qin Mubai realized that she seemed to like this clever, capable, and affectionate little girl.

In his previous life and this life, there were many women passing by Qin Mubai in a hurry, but Wu Meiniang was the first woman who gave him a feeling of “first love”.

It was like wandering around in a beautiful flower bush all day long and finally finding a Chiba that he couldn’t let go of.

How difficult!

“I will cherish it.” Qin Mubai thought to herself in her heart, “Whether it’s the empress of your history or a little woman in business, you will be the woman that I cherish the most.”

Returning to the barracks, Qin Mubai took care of military affairs as usual.

The matter of disaster relief had already dissipated, and he had also sent a message to the Imperial Court explaining the situation here.

Today, the Ministry of Works finally wrote that Qin Mubai would hold on for another half a month, reinforce the Lake Embankment Town and impeach the disaster-stricken area, strictly prevent the breakwater from happening again, and put an end to the occurrence of refugees and plague.

“Half a month is half a month. It’s good to return to Chang’an for the New Year.” Qin Mubai thought to himself, “This place is basically free now. It’s not bad to have time to accompany Wu Meiniang around every day. If I return to Chang’an, I will definitely return to Baiji to reinstate myself. How can I be free? I’ll treat this half month as a vacation!”

It’s still a vacation specifically for romance. How high is the salary of my Hundred Cavalry Envoy!

When the sun set, Qin Mubai rode his horse alone and left the military camp for the inn where Wu Meiniang was. Not long after leaving the military camp, he saw a black-clothed man leading a horse to stand by the side of the road. His figure was still so familiar.

“Chen Yan?” Qin Mubai trotted over and said, “Why are you here?”

Chen Yan stood beside the horse and smiled. “I just came from Jinzhou and wanted to burn incense sticks for Zhu Chengwen. I wanted to see if you were training here today. I don’t know, but I happened to meet you. Are you here to practice martial arts?”

“No.” Qin Mubai got off the horse and said truthfully, “I’m going to make an appointment.”

Chen Yan blinked her eyes and couldn’t help but laugh, “Judging from your expression, you must be going to meet up with a beauty.”

“Eh? Do you really know how to read minds?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be surprised.

“I don’t understand.” Chen Yan said, “Normally, if you come to practice martial arts or go out to do business, you will be used to bringing along three or five followers. If you go out for a walk after dinner, you don’t need to ride a horse. Seeing that your expression is leisurely and unhurried, and that you have a few more pleasant expressions on your face, you must be going to make a sweet appointment.”

“Powerful! Powerful!” Qin Mubai nodded and praised, “To tell you the truth, I’m going to Mingya Villa in front of me to have dinner with my unmarried wife.”

“Is your unmarried wife the Wu clan of Chang’an?” Chen Yan couldn’t help but smile ambiguously, “I’ve heard you mention her from time to time, and this woman’s reputation has long since reached my ears. I’d like to see her!”

“Uh” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel a little caught off guard and smiled. “Then let’s go together! I presume you haven’t eaten dinner yet. It’s perfect.”

“Heh, don’t you seem to be unhappy?” Chen Yan laughed teasingly.

“Where? Since you’re a friend, you don’t need to be restrained. Let’s go, get on the horse!”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

The two mounted their horses and stepped on the bloody setting sun towards Mingya Villa.

Qin Mubai thought to herself, Chen Yan is so strange. With her aloof and arrogant personality, she is usually unwilling to socialize with others or meet strangers. Last time in the woods, I invited her to dinner with Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang, but she refused without hesitation. This time, why did you hear that I went to meet Wu Meiniang, but took the initiative to meet her?

“Qin Mubai, you must be wondering why I came here uninvited to see your unmarried wife, right?” Chen Yan chuckled.

Qin Mubai shook his head, “It seems like I don’t have any secrets in front of you!”

“Don’t be so exaggerated. It’s just human nature. It’s just that some people will keep my words in their hearts.” Chen Yan said, “But I am different. I have one thing to say and two things to my friends. I will not hide anything. Perhaps it will embarrass each other or ruin each other’s face. I am still the same. Because I feel that since I am a friend, I should have this kind of tolerance and trust.”

“That’s right.” Qin Mubai nodded.

“Then I’ll tell you why I went to see Wu Meiniang!” Chen Yanwan smiled and said, “Because I want to know if she is worthy of you.”
