Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Joyful Events Filled the Door
“Big family of Zhu Clan, heroic and romantic. These are only two basic conditions.” Wu Meiniang was young, but she cut her hands off and put on a scheming look. Her spring-like jade fingers spoke in an orderly manner, “In addition, there are two most important conditions.” Firstly, my father was once one of the eight prime ministers, and now Immortal Qu is also named a rank three Minister. He has always been the person I admire the most. My future husband must not be inferior to him. ”

“Then there are two more?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh. This was very similar to the beauties he had met in his previous life, who opened their mouths and said, “You have to have a car and a house.” Although it was a bit of a city council, it was still a realistic problem. No wonder.

“Of course.” Wu Meiniang raised her face like a proud little peacock and said in a loud voice, “Although there are many famous officials in the world who regard money as dirt, I think nothing can be achieved without money. Therefore, my future husband still wants to be richer than the rest of the world.”

“Officials are ranked third among prime ministers, yet they still want to be rich in the world?” Qin Mubai laughed loudly.

“What are you laughing at? Don’t laugh! Humph!”

“Mother Mei, I can agree to what you said. But remember, I definitely didn’t do it for a woman like you. In other words, even if you don’t make such a condition, I, Qin Mubai, will still strive towards this goal. One day, I will do it.” Qin Mubai smiled and said leisurely, “But remember, no one can guarantee that I, someone from Qin, will be willing to marry you on that day. Or perhaps, you still have a chance to be a proper wife.”

“What are you talking about?!” Wu Meiniang’s eyes widened in surprise, as if she had heard a Heavenly Book.

“You heard right. That’s it. There’s no guarantee of what you can’t do. This is the way I, Qin Mubai, have always acted.” Qin Mubai still smiled calmly and said, “As you said, if I were to arrive on that day, I would be ranked third among the prime ministers and be rich … Do you think there would be a lack of women around me?” In this vast world, whether it was humans or animals, outstanding males always had more females. Whether others were dissatisfied, jealous, or scolding, they could not change this fact. Who can guarantee that no other woman will get ahead of you at that time? ”

“You, what did you say?!” Wu Meiniang was shocked and glared at Qin Mubai angrily, unable to say a second word.

“So.” Qin Mubai still wore a smile and extended his hand. His index finger gently hooked her round and beautiful chin and raised it up like a lover’s honeyed tongue. “Even though I love you at first sight and am willing to marry you, you must be obedient and not be naughty. Otherwise, what you are waiting for is likely to be a divorce or the fate of being a concubine.”

Wu Meiniang was speechless. She wished she could bite off Qin Mubai’s frivolous finger.

However, although she was shocked and angry, she was faintly afraid. This man … Hmph, he is really domineering when he blows on an ox!

“Sure enough, it’s a country-toppling city. It’s so beautiful and cruel.” The corners of Qin Mubai’s mouth lifted up slightly, and a trademark smile appeared on his face. He withdrew his hand and leaned towards Wu Meiniang’s ear to breathe out a light breath, saying, “However, this husband still hopes to grow old with you for a long time. Therefore, what I want to see the most is that you are obedient.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Wu Meiniang suddenly regained her senses and suddenly jumped two steps back, glaring at him angrily. Wronged and furious, tears seemed to seep out of his eyes.

What a little horse, challenging. In the past, whoever encountered any kind of woman would obediently submit after going through such a half-round.

Qin Mubai still smiled at Wu Meiniang and said, “Meiniang, you are still mine. As long as I want you, you can’t escape. We’ll see.”

“Hmph … it’s hard to say!” Wu Meiniang snorted angrily and turned away. This time, she was completely defeated, but she refused to admit defeat.

“Goodbye.” Qin Mubai cupped her hands and laughed heartily as she left.

A woman like Wu Meiniang was like a peerless, thorny rose. However, from afar, they could not be played with or picked. Otherwise, they would be pierced to the point of blood.

However, Qin Mubai always liked to pick flowers like this, and he was never tired of it. Because the harder it was to get, the more accomplished it would be. Therefore, he never went to prostitutes. He believed that only incompetent men would go to that kind of place to seek stallion-like venting.

“Hey!!” Just a few steps away, Wu Meiniang suddenly called Qin Mubai behind him.

“Mother Mei still has some advice?” Qin Mubai stopped and turned to smile.

“Although I hate you very much, today … I still have to thank you!” Wu Meiniang seemed to have said this reluctantly, then crossed her chest with both hands and turned her face away.

Madam Yang dared to tell her everything that had happened today.

“You can omit such words in the future.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Do couples still need to thank each other? It’s as if their left hand would never say thank you to their right hand. Goodbye!”

Wu Meiniang was utterly speechless, her teeth clicking slightly. Qin Mubai’s figure disappeared from the courtyard.

“This fellow is truly a prodigal disciple, a bad guy.” Wu Meiniang stamped her feet, her face flushed red, embarrassed, annoyed, and somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She muttered to herself, “Why is mother willing to marry me to such a fellow?” He even said that he was’really a clever and talented person ‘. Hmph, in my opinion, it was just a clever mouth that could brag and make people happy! If this goes on, I don’t know how many women will gather around him in the future to compete with me … Aiya, why would I want to do this? Who is going to marry that bad guy? Hmph! ”

Qin Mubai walked to the front of Prince Wu’s mansion and paused for a moment. Should I go through the main entrance of the mansion, or should I go through the side entrance just like when I came in the morning?

“Commandant Qin, are you back?” The guard in front of the manor clasped his fists and greeted. He then used his gaze to signal for Qin Mubai to enter through the main door.

“En … I came back after finishing a few things.” As Qin Mubai spoke, she naturally walked towards the main entrance. Looking at the little soldier, he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a lively expression. His appearance was not annoying, so he asked, “What’s your name?”

“My surname is Yin Danming Yang. In the future, I will be the brigade marshal under Commandant Qin. In the future, I hope that Commandant Qin will take care of my promotion.” The soldier cupped his fists and bowed. “Commandant Qin, it was actually Commandant Fan this morning … oh, Fan Zhanjiu intentionally made things difficult for you, not allowing you to enter through the main entrance. I saw it, but I dared not to say anything.”

According to the military system of the Great Tang Dynasty, ten men and one fire were the most basic units, and the smallest officer was Huo Chang; Five fire for a team, sir is the team; Two teams for a brigade, promotion is brigade commander; The two brigades are one regiment. Qin Mubai, the captain in charge of 200 soldiers, was the supreme commander of the regiment. As for Yin Yang, this brigade marshal was his direct subordinate. No wonder he was so anxious to get close.

Qin Mubai smiled and patted Yin Yang’s shoulder armor, “Where’s the other Brigade Commander?”

“Commandant, Prince Wu’s Mansion has just moved over from Anzhou. The Governor’s Mansion has been changed into the Prince’s Mansion. The mansion’s military personnel structure is not perfect yet. Currently, there is only a humble Brigade Commander.” Yin Yang replied.

Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat and he nodded, “I see. You have a future. Do your best.”

“Thank you, Captain Qin!”

When Qin Mubai walked into the mansion, Yin Yang said to his fellow disciples, “Do you see that this Captain Qin is much easier to get along with than that Captain Fan from before?”

‘”That’s right! Commandant Qin came from a distinguished clan and treated others like this. That Fan is always looking at the sky and showing off his authority. I wish we could serve him like grandfather all day long.”

Qin Mubai could vaguely hear the discussions of the soldiers behind him. He couldn’t help but smile. Being polite to the weak was his demeanor. Apparently, Fan didn’t understand this. His subordinate still lacked a brigade marshal. Isn’t Yuwen Hongtai a good fit? I also promised him earlier … to talk to Li Ke.

At this moment, Li Ke was lying comfortably on a soft chair in the courtyard, with a beautiful woman serving him on each side. One gently pinched his shoulder while the other stuffed delicate pastries into his mouth.

Very enjoyable, very playboy.

Not long after Qin Mubai approached him, Li Ke saw him first. He sat up and waved his hand, and the two beautiful ladies beside him drifted away tactfully.

“Mubai, people should be spirited when they are happy. Why do you look so bitter and bitter?” Li Ke laughed mockingly.

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Your Highness, which song did you sing today? I really don’t know if it was a whim or a plan.”

“Let’s put it this way. It’s both.” Li Ke laughed heartily and said, “No matter what, Wu Zhao … oh Wu Meiniang, she is a top-grade woman. She can’t be found. I thought that it would be very suitable for her to marry you as my wife. So I came up with a plan. This matter will be settled.”

Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head. He thought to himself, “Obviously, Li Ke is hollowing out his thoughts and doing favors to me and the Qin Family.” His goal was to marry Fourth Sister Shuang’er … It was extremely easy for such a romantic fellow like him to obtain a woman, so how could he be so fond of Shuang’er?

“Then I would like to thank His Highness for helping me.” Qin Mubai bowed and said, “Actually, I have always had a question. I want to ask His Highness for advice.”

Li Ke waved his hand and stood up. He cut his back and walked away, signaling Qin Mubai to take a walk with him. “I know,” he said as he walked, “you want to ask me about Shuang’er and me, don’t you?”

“Your Highness is smart.”

“Mubai, I think you are also a sentimental person. Let me ask you, no matter how erotic a man is, is there a shadow in his heart that can’t be erased?” Li Ke asked.

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and nodded.

Li Ke was right. No one was born romantic, everyone had been young and ignorant, everyone would have their own green first love.

First love means a lot to a man, and sometimes it goes deeper into the bones than a woman’s feelings for her first night.

“Shuang’er is irreplaceable to me.” Li Ke smiled and said softly. At this moment, there was no longer that frivolous expression on his face. Instead, it was replaced by the unique green expression of a young man who had just opened his heart.

“Understood.” Qin Mubai nodded and smiled. It turned out that Shuang’er was Li Ke’s first love for green apples.

Men, whether their true colors are too lustful or not, who doesn’t treasure their first love like collecting peerless treasures?

“Alright, let’s stop here.” Li Ke smiled and changed the awkward topic. “Today’s banquet has been arranged and is being prepared. You go home later and personally bring the Duke and Duchess of Winged Nation to the banquet. I have been grounded for the whole day and have been caught doing something. I have to do something lively to make everyone happy.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Qin Mubai agreed and told Li Ke about the transfer of Yuwen Hongtai to the Prince’s Mansion.

Li Ke casually agreed, saying such a trivial thing, just send a subordinate to take the invitation from the Wu Palace.

Qin Mubai thanked Li Ke and prepared to go home to invite his father and mother. When he went out, he handed the matter over to Yin Yang and headed straight for the Duke Yi’s mansion.

When they returned home, they found a scene of great enthusiasm.

Mother Madam Liu and sister Shuang’er happily caught Qin Mubai and pulled him into the room to try on new clothes. The two of them put on gorgeous new clothes, and impatiently urged Qin Mubai to take off this dark green official robe and change into the brocade robe tailored by the best cloth manor in the western city.

“Third Brother, hehe, congratulations!” Shuang’er clasped her little pink fist and laughed, “I heard that you married the second daughter of the famous Wu Clan. She’s a famous beauty! Hehe, that’s great, I’m going to have a sister-in-law!”

Before Fourth Sister could finish her sentence, Madam Liu smiled happily and said, “Son, Mother is finally looking forward to this day! Don’t say anything. Quick, dress beautifully, let’s go to King Wu’s Mansion together. Mother must see if this daughter-in-law has any good looks, is she lucky enough to have children?”

Qin Mubai grinned in astonishment. He didn’t know whether to laugh or not, but he said, “Mother, it’s still too early!”

“Haha! Why don’t you be happy for your mother first?” Madam Liu hugged the fourth sister, and the mother and mother laughed happily.

At this moment, a servant came to the door and said, “Third Young Master, Old Master wants you to come over!”

When Qin Mubai arrived at his father’s room, he found Qin Shubao sitting on the couch in a daze, staring at the pile of clothes in front of him.

“Father, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s best if Saburo comes.” Qin Shubao coughed dryly, wanting to be more serious, but with an awkward smile, he said, “Quickly help me choose what clothes to wear for father to the Wu Palace for dinner? Is it an official robe, a military robe, a hu robe, or a brocade robe? It’s been three or four years since father left the palace to see anyone, so I’m afraid that his clothes won’t make anyone laugh!”

Qin Mubai suddenly burst into laughter. This was truly a blissful annoyance! … happy events filled the sect. Even the normally unsmiling father seemed to be really happy today!
