Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 160
Chapter 160 Gentle Saber
Along the way, Qin Mubai muttered, “I wonder how jealous Wu Meiniang is. What would she feel if she saw Chen Yan?” However, since I dared to brazenly bring her here, it proves that we are innocent. Presumably, someone as smart as Wu Meiniang should be able to think of this level and not embarrass me in front of my friends.
The two of them arrived at the manor. At the entrance of the manor, there was a personal attendant of Wu Meiniang watching from afar. When she saw Qin Mubai coming from afar, she clapped her hands and laughed happily as she rushed into the house. “Coming! Coming! Granduncle General is coming!”
Qin Mubai was embarrassed, and Chen Yan giggled, “The nickname they gave you is really interesting.”
“Stop teasing me. Dismount.”
“Qin Mubai, what do you think? If Madam Wu sees me coming with you, will she be angry?” Chen Yan smiled maliciously.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “She’s not that kind of person.”
“If she were that kind of person, she would definitely not be worthy of you.”
“Why?”
Chen Yan smiled and said, “A man like you is destined to be romantic for a lifetime. There can’t be only one woman beside you. If a narrow-minded woman is your wife, there will definitely be no peace in the family. If your wife is not virtuous and your husband is not in trouble, then that’s true.”
“Eh, you’re quite honest.” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but nod in admiration, “You understand men too well! A woman like you is simply a man’s confidant and a blessing!”
“Don’t say that.” Chen Yan snorted softly, as if she was sneering, “I just saw too many people. No wonder I accepted this fact.” The world was originally unfair. Men could have wives and concubines outside in groups, but women could only work for one husband or stay in an empty room alone. Actually, which woman is willing to share her man with other women? Which woman really doesn’t want her man and only loves her for the rest of her life? Love is selfish. Unless you don’t love him, you can let him do it. ”
“Go straight to the heart of the matter.” Qin Mubai nodded, “What you said is always so enlightening.”
“So, there are more and more women like Empress Chang Sun in this world.” Chen Yan said, “Because after struggling, suffering, sadness and helplessness, they chose to be a smart woman.” Rather than being unable to change the situation where men were polygamous, it was better to accept them wisely, and even take the initiative to help men marry concubines. Actually, do you know how sad a woman like Empress Changsun is when she does something like this? Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean they really don’t mind not suffering. ”
“Truth be told. Your weakness is that you like to tell the truth too much.” Qin Mubai chuckled dryly and said, “Alright, don’t let too many people hear such a big truth, especially Wu Meiniang.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t dare to ruin your good fortune.”
After handing the horses over to the servants of the villa to repair, the two of them walked towards the courtyard where Wu Meiniang lived. After walking through the corridor for a while, he saw Wu Meiniang and her sisters trotting towards him.
Wu Meiniang’s face was originally filled with joy and joy, and she couldn’t help but rush to greet Qin Mubai. However, when he saw him walking over with a woman in black holding a treasured sword, he couldn’t help but be stunned and stopped in his tracks.
“Eh, boss, why is there a woman following my uncle? My servant’s eyes are clumsy just now, and he hastily glanced at her, but he didn’t see it clearly!”
“Xiaomin, you’re so stupid. You can’t even see things like this clearly. Now, you’ve embarrassed the host!”
“Don’t make any noise.” Wu Meiniang gently raised her hand to stop the dispute between the maids behind her. She smiled and took a few steps forward. She said kindly, “Mubai, you’re here. Is this your friend? Why don’t you introduce him to me?”
Without waiting for Qin Mubai to speak, Chen Yan took a step forward and sized up Wu Meiniang from head to toe. She said straightforwardly, “My name is Chen Yan. You must be Wu Meiniang, right? She is indeed a beauty who knows the beauty of the heavens and the beauty of the heavens. It is better to see a hundred things than to hear.”
“Big sister is also very beautiful. She is more valiant and heroic than Mother Mei.” Wu Meiniang Wan’er smiled and said, “I’ve heard Mubai mention you. You’re amazing!”
“Is that so?” Chen Yan turned her head to look at Qin Mubai and couldn’t help but laugh, “Looks like he really told you everything.”
“Between husband and wife, this should be the case! Hehe!” Wu Meiniang smiled proudly.
Qin Mubai stood at the side, his heart beating a little.
These two women were fighting in secret!
Although their words were polite and polite, and their expressions were like greetings from a good friend they had not seen for many years, there was a faint undercurrent, and the suspicion of jealousy was extremely great!
There was no other way. Who would let a beauty’s natural enemy be a beauty?
Wu Meiniang saw that Chen Yan and I had come all the way here and ruined our date, so it must be fake to say that she was happy. Chen Yan … Although we have never talked about our relationship, this woman treats me as her good friend, and she even cares more about me than she does herself. It was as if she was interested in commenting on anyone around me. It felt a little like my mother.
Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, that was practically a natural enemy …
At this moment, the handmaidens and butler behind Wu Meiniang also looked at Chen Yan with great vigilance. Chen Yan and Wu Meiniang chatted for a while and couldn’t help but smile, “Young ladies, you don’t have to stare at me like this. Your uncle and I are just friends. We won’t be rivals of your master’s love.”
‘”Huh?” Everyone, including Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang, was stunned-this woman was too direct!
Qin Mubai laughed dryly, “Chen Yan is a heroine. She speaks like her sword. She strives to hit her head-on without any delay.”
“Big sister is really a straightforward person, admirable!” Wu Meiniang Wan’er smiled and said, “Quickly, you said you were standing here and talking. Mubai, the oven is ready and the wine is warmed up. Quickly invite your sister Yan over for dinner!”
“Alright.” Qin Mubai nodded, “Sister Yan, please.”
“You flatter me.” Chen Yan giggled, “How can the grand General Qin call me elder sister? Aren’t you going to kill me, the daughter of the grass-roots people?”
“Hehe, don’t worry about him, sister. Let’s go first!” Wu Meiniang chuckled. She took Chen Yan’s elbow and pulled her forward, saying, “Since you are Mubai’s good friend, you are also my good friend. Once friends get along well, they are even closer than siblings. Big sister is better than big sister. In my opinion, Mubai still lacks a big sister to take care of him!”
Amazing!
Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat-Wu Meiniang was too powerful!
It was just a few simple words that pushed Chen Yan to the height of’elder sister ‘. Naturally, there was nothing ambiguous between the sister and the younger brother. Moreover, she was so magnanimous, as if she was a hostess who had passed the door, and was so polite to my friend that it was enough to give me face.
Even if Chen Yan had any thoughts about me on this stage, how could she still have the nerve to allow it to develop?
With a gentle saber strike, Wu Meiniang seemed to have relaxed and slashed the “possibility” between Chen Yan and me!
Qin Mubai secretly sighed. Wu Meiniang was really a smart woman. First of all, she was not like that vulgar jealous woman, Seeing Chen Yan bragging and staring at the endlessly noisy fight, she did not pretend to be depressed and forced a smile on her chest. Instead, she first assumed the high posture of a hostess, as if she was announcing to Chen Yan that she was already Qin Mubai’s wife. If you came, you could at most be a concubine! If you are just his good friend, then you are my sister!
What a smart woman!
Perhaps Wu Meiniang will never quarrel with me because of my conflict with other women in this lifetime. She has her own way to solve this problem, and she is full of wisdom, kindness, and understanding.
If women were all born politicians, then Wu Meiniang was undoubtedly a genius and outstanding person!
…
Wu Meiniang walked forward with Chen Yan in her arms, occasionally chatting and chuckling, appearing to be extremely harmonious and hateful. When the group arrived at the backyard rented by Wu Meiniang, they saw that there was already a barbecue table made of porcelain stones, and there was a chopping board that had already been chopped up for meat hunting. Whenever ingredients are to be used, hairpin drills and charcoal fire shall be sufficient. On the side of the small stove, there were two pots of Qin Xianyu’s wine that were famous all over the world, and a small table and a bed were placed beside the roasting table, and they were tidied up extremely well.
“Sister, please take a seat.” Wu Meiniang invited Chen Yan to sit down first, and then came forward with a giggle. She held Qin Mubai’s hand bashfully and let him sit down with her. She said, “Mubai, I can’t drink enough. You must treat Sister Yan well!”
“Don’t bother, I never drink.” Chen Yan smiled.
Qin Mubai thought for a moment and nodded, “Really. I’ve never seen you drink before.”
“Sister Yan, this is Qin Xianjiu brewed with the secret method created by Mubai, and it was even given to you by the Emperor as Imperial Wine. Why don’t you try it?” Wu Meiniang said.
“Oh, is this the world-famous Qin Immortal Wine?” Chen Yan smiled faintly. “Since Mother Mei is so kind and is a rare wine, I will open my ring and have a drink with you.”
“Hehe, Sister Yan is really straightforward! I like to get along with straightforward people the most!” Wu Meiniang smiled happily, but she hugged Qin Mubai’s elbow even tighter.
Qin Mubai remained silent, and his forehead was almost always marked with black lines. He felt very embarrassed. This Wu Meiniang purposely “showed her affection” in front of Chen Yan, yet Chen Yan was extremely patient and deliberately ignored her … These two women had been exhausted!
The handmaidens were already dressed in hunting meat and slowly roasted on the fire. The fragrance of the meat was warm in the charcoal furnace, and the wine was also warm. The mellow fragrance began to overflow.
“Hehe, this meat needs to be roasted for it to be delicious and fun.” Wu Meiniang spoke first and pulled Qin Mubai to get up. She snorted and said, “Mubai, be good. I want to eat your roasted meat!”
‘”Good?” Qin Mubai’s mouth curled up in embarrassment. He laughed awkwardly and stood up. He took out a skewer and roasted it. “Alright, I’ll roast a skewer for all of you.”
“Stupid.” Chen Yan smiled and said, “Of course, the meat you roasted can only be eaten by Mama Mei.”
“Hehe, Sister Yan is absolutely right. Mubai, you are stupid!” Wu Meiniang giggled and also slapped her body, “Sister Yan, wait, I’ll roast it for you. Mu Bai is stupid, his cooking must be very bad. I’ll roast the meat for you!”
“Alright, I’ll wait.” Chen Yan smiled and didn’t say much.
Qin Mubai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she turned to look at Chen Yan, but she was still as calm as ever, smiling at her with a hint of mockery.
“Ah, women’s fighting skills are really intelligent! At this time, their IQ is catching up with Einstein’s, right?” Qin Mubai sighed in his heart.
…
After two hours of barbecue, it was already nightfall.
Chen Yan said goodbye and was about to leave. Holding onto her sword, she cupped her hands and said to Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang, “I’m sorry to disturb you. I hope you don’t hate me in your heart. The barbecue today was really good. Meiniang, you’re really smart and versatile. It’s a great fortune for Mubai to be able to marry you.”
“Hehe, Sister Xie Yan praises me! If Sister likes it, why don’t you come and find a girl often? I’ll definitely roast it for you to eat.” Wu Meiniang replied generously and smiled.
“Alright, I will.” Chen Yan smiled and said, “Goodbye.”
“Wait.” Wu Meiniang hurriedly shouted, “Mubai, it’s getting late. You should go back to the barracks now, right? Why don’t you drop me off?”
“That’s good too.” Qin Mubai smiled helplessly and said, “Sister Yan, let’s go.”
Chen Yan looked at Qin Mubai with a meaningful and teasing smile and nodded.
“Then you can leave! Mubai, come early tomorrow! Sister Yan, if you have anything to do, you must come here to find me. I will stay here for a long time!” Wu Meiniang said with a smile like a flower.
“Yes.” The two of them answered and walked out of the manor.
Wu Meiniang waved her hand to bid them farewell before turning the corner. The housekeepers and maids beside her became anxious and hurriedly said, “Boss, why did you take the initiative to let Uncle General leave with that woman? This lonely man and woman in the middle of the night …”
“Because I trust him!” Wu Meiniang smiled proudly and went back to her room.
After leaving the villa, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan mounted their horses, smiled at each other, and flapped their horses forward.
“Mubai, cherish it well.” Chen Yan suddenly said, “Mother Mei is a good woman. If you can marry her, it will be of great benefit to you in the future.”
“What do you mean?”
Chen Yan smiled faintly, “Because she is smart enough to be worthy of you in terms of appearance and intelligence. More importantly, she cares about you very much.”
