Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 161
Chapter 161 Go Back To Chang’an
Qin Mubai and Chen Yan stopped their horses at the corner of the mountain road in front of the military camp.
“Goodbye.” Chen Yan said, “I will stay in the village where Zhu Chengwen’s tomb is located for a period of time, and then continue to wander in Jianghu.”
“Didn’t we agree to go to Chang’an together?” Qin Mubai said.
Chen Yan frowned slightly, “Is it really convenient?”
“What’s the inconvenience?” Qin Mubai asked.
“Haha!” Chen Yan smiled and said, “Didn’t you feel that Wu Meiniang was quite wary of me just now? In order not to embarrass the two of you and affect your relationship, I’d better not go with you again.”
“What are these words?” Qin Mubai said, “We are friends. Doesn’t this mean that we really have a problem? Don’t think too much about it, go to Chang’an! You’re just a girl, what kind of Jianghu are you? Didn’t I look down on you and live a peaceful and comfortable life?”
“Girls?” Chen Yan smiled gently and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps my life is cheap. I’m used to this kind of life. It’s a different feeling to travel all over the place to eat.”
“That’s because you haven’t tried another life.” Qin Mubai said.
“Perhaps” Chen Yan nodded silently.
“Stop talking. I will leave for Chang’an in half a month. I hope that you will accompany me.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Actually, you and Mama Mei are quite fond of each other. Both of you are very smart and have complementary personalities. Trust me, you won’t affect me in any way.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about it then.” Chen Yan cupped her fists and said, “Goodbye!”
“Alright, let’s go.”
After riding Juechen, Chen Yan disappeared into the night.
Qin Mubai shook her head with a smile. She was really a strong woman. In fact, her heart was gentler than anyone else’s.
Happy days passed quickly, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye.
These days, it was really like a honeymoon.
There were fewer and fewer things happening in the barracks. Because of the disaster relief, the soldiers didn’t even need to train. They all ate and slept in the barracks. Qin Mubai, the deputy commandant, was too lazy to care about them. In any case, he was not his own personal hero. He would be handed over in two days. There was no need to worry about it. If he did not cause trouble, everything would be fine.
As a result, after he arranged the things that he had set for himself every day, all that remained was to accompany Wu Meiniang to eat, drink, play, and enjoy the scenery.
The relationship between the two of them deepened with each passing day.
Only then did Qin Mubai realize that he and Wu Meiniang were so compatible.
Qin Mubai always liked smart people. Whether it was men or women, friends or enemies, he liked to be smarter.
And Wu Meiniang was an extremely intelligent woman.
Her intelligence was not embodied in craftiness and conspiracy, but in a kind of great wisdom that carried with it an aura of grandeur!
A person who could become a queen was indeed not that simple. The heavens had bestowed too many things on her, and the most outstanding thing was her intelligence.
Take Chen Yan for example. Wu Meiniang was obviously jealous and nervous, but she was able to get everyone off the stage. She gave Qin Mubai enough face in front of the public, and even used her tolerance and magnanimity to make Chen Yan retreat without a fight.
On the other hand, if Wu Meiniang acted stingy and Bala was aggressive towards Chen Yan, with Chen Yan’s personality, she might really fight for it head-on.
This method of taking retreat as progress and subduing others with virtue was easier said than done, but not every woman could do it. After all, when faced with their love rivals, out of human instinct, anyone would be jealous of the wrong behavior of burning in the fire. Being able to react in a very short period of time and come up with a suitable strategy was enough to see how intelligent and intelligent Wu Meiniang was.
Afterwards, Wu Meiniang did not mention Chen Yan again. Even if the two of them inadvertently chatted, Wu Meiniang only treated her as a friend and did not ask Qin Mubai if she was ambiguous with her.
A woman who can make a man feel trusted and reliant with her, and also feel relaxed and happy without pressure, is a woman that a man cannot leave.
Wu Meiniang did so.
This period of time could be said to be the most relaxing and satisfying since Qin Mubai came to the Great Tang. Every day, he left the barracks to meet Wu Meiniang, traveled with her to the mountains and rivers, enjoyed the scenery, and went out with her to discuss business twice, giving out some money to the poor.
Wu Meiniang’s charm was magnified by these things. Many people saw her for the first time, but they were attracted by her outstanding appearance and noble temperament. After getting along with her, she realized that this woman was too charming. She is intelligent, kind and amiable, smart and enterprising.
When beauty and wisdom merge together, coupled with kindness and diligence, is there a man under the heavens who is not fascinated by such a woman?
The more they got along, the more fascinated Qin Mubai became towards Wu Meiniang. He had always been rejoicing in his heart that he had actually been accompanied by such a beautiful woman from ten thousand miles away in his previous act of being a playboy. If there was a woman like this, why would I ask for anything more?
During this period of time, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang also had a more tacit understanding. Often, with a single glance and a small movement, one would be able to understand the other party’s intentions. Qin Mubai had rarely felt this kind of intuitive feeling, especially towards women.
Even if she wasn’t the best lover, Wu Meiniang was at least Qin Mubai’s best confidant.
What else is there to be picky about when your lover and confidante are one?
Wu Meiniang’s feelings for Qin Mubai were the same.
The relationship between the two of them was like the temperature of Flowing Fire in July, rising rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already December.
The weather in the north is cold and snowy. The first heavy snow this year has fallen.
Under the arrangement of Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang, the task of relieving the disaster and comforting the people was successfully completed. Before the first heavy snow fell, all the relief materials were in place. Tens of thousands of new houses were built for the victims to live in. There were no incidents of frostbite, starvation, or refugee riots among the victims.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the Emperor and the Imperial Court could be considered as sympathetic to their subordinates. The Imperial Decree flew into Qin Mubai’s tent on the snowflakes of the first snow.
Di Xuan, Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang returned to Face Saint. Jiang Zhou’s military and political affairs were all taken over by the new governor and commandant. The new governor and imperial edict arrived at the same time, and they could be delivered immediately.
When the news spread out, everyone cheered.
After all, these soldiers had been out for almost half a year, who didn’t want to go home like an arrow?
Qin Mubai also heaved a long sigh of relief and felt a burst of relief.
Finally, we can go home!
Immediately, Qin Mubai and the new Jiangzhou Prefecture Commandant handed over their military affairs.
Wu Guan’s body was light. He brought the hundred cavalry soldiers that had accompanied him back then and left the military camp after a celebration banquet. He had lived there for half a year.
Before leaving, Qin Mubai really missed it. After all, he had stayed here for half a year, and every single plant and tree was so familiar. The army had also made quite a few friends, all of them brave men, and they were somewhat reluctant to part with each other.
Residents of Jishan County, who had received great gratitude for the withdrawal of the army, saw them off in the middle of the road when they heard that the army was about to withdraw. On a snowy day, many people burned incense to cover their path and knelt on the ground, their momentum growing louder. Qin Mubai and the others pleaded bitterly, but in the end, they were unable to persuade these residents to leave. He had no choice but to set up a formation and leave Jishan County with the farewells of the residents.
The heavy snow had sealed the road, and it was impossible for him to hurry forward for a while. In any case, Qin Mubai did not rush back to Chang’an, so he dragged the 100-man team to the villa where Wu Meiniang lived. The villa was very big, so there was no problem staying with these people. It just so happened that they could avoid the heavy snow before leaving.
Wu Meiniang was overjoyed to hear the news of her return to Chang’an. She had left Chang’an for a longer time than Qin Mubai. She missed that place and the number one wine in the world. It had been a long time since she had taken care of it. Immediately, Wu Meiniang immediately sent someone to Bingzhou Wenshui’s hometown to invite her mother, Yang shi, to return to Chang’an with her.
After nightfall, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang roasted the wine and listened to the little maid playing the zither beside her, enjoying the sweet time.
“Mubai, I’m going back to Chang’an tomorrow! Do you know that I’m happy and worried?” Wu Meiniang said.
“Let’s not talk about happiness. What are you worried about?” Qin Mubai asked.
“You’re so stupid!” This has almost become Wu Meiniang’s mantra. She giggles and says, “When we return to Chang’an, aren’t you going back to work in the palace again? Don’t you have so much time to accompany me?”
“Cough!” Qin Mubai coughed softly and said seriously, “If the two love each other for a long time, then how can they live forever?”
“Eh? … If the two love each other for a long time, then how can they live through the day and night? Good sentence, good sentence!” Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and praised, “I see that you often make one or two sentences like this, which is quite outstanding! But why don’t you officially write some poems?”
“I’m a martial artist. What kind of poem am I doing? I’m already so famous. Do I still need to rely on poems to gain fame?” Qin Mubai smiled.
“Eh, I’m not ashamed.” Wu Meiniang pinched Qin Mubai’s nose and her body softened. She simply lay in his arms and put her head on his thigh. She gave him a wicked smile and reached out to touch his belly. “What would you look like if you were pregnant in July? Hehe! A general with a big belly must be fun!” She said.
“You’re too imaginative!” Qin Mubai was amused and gently pinched her little face. “What’s wrong? Can’t you wait to give birth to a son for me?”
“You’re bad!” Wu Meiniang blushed from embarrassment and grabbed his belly angrily.
The maids who served and played the zither on the side couldn’t help but snicker. Wu Meiniang was embarrassed and embarrassed. She cursed hatefully, “You damn girls, don’t laugh!”
“Boss, let’s retreat, chuckle!” These maids and maids all laughed. They were all confidants of Wu Meiniang, but they were also her best friends and elder sisters, so there was no need to avoid anything.
“Don’t retreat!” Wu Meiniang shouted loudly to hide her embarrassment, “Warm up the wine while playing the tune. However, you are not allowed to glance in this direction, nor are you allowed to listen to it in your ears!”
“You’re too domineering.” Qin Mubai chuckled.
“I insist!” Wu Meiniang smiled warmly and strangely. She wrapped her hands around Qin Mubai’s waist and caressed his sturdy back. She held Qin Mubai’s hand on her face and closed her eyes. She snorted, “It’s so warm and comfortable. I want to sleep for a while. Don’t disturb me, much less … do you have any bad ideas?”
“Do you really want me to become Liu Xiahui? If I hug you like this, I will do something bad.” Qin Mubai laughed wickedly.
“No, no!” Wu Meiniang shyly turned around and giggled, “You’re not allowed to do anything to me until we’re married!”
“If I do anything to you, what do you plan to do to me?” Qin Mubai laughed heartily and gave her a tongue twister.
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes in contemplation and suddenly giggled, “Then I … I’ll … I’ll … I’ll think about it … I didn’t expect to tell you when I thought of it!”
Qin Mubai laughed heartily and felt quite comfortable.
“We’re finally going back to Chang’an!”
