Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 324
Chapter 324 Monstrous Red Apricot
The next day, Qin Mubai still got up early and practiced martial arts in the backyard. He accompanied Princess Gaoyang, her mother and sister, and Yao’er to breakfast. Then, he wrote a letter in the study and sent it to Lanzhou.
The letter was naturally addressed to his father. It was only to say that he was safe and told his father about the details of his marriage with Princess Gaoyang, which Qin Shubao was most concerned about. Actually, Qin Shubao always had a wish. He hoped that when Qin Mubai got married, he would come to Chang’an personally. But at least now, it seemed like a piece of empty talk. Lanzhou could not be left without a master for a day, so he obviously could not leave easily.
In addition, he sent a letter to Xiangzhou, informing Wu Meiniang that he would be coming soon. Originally, he wanted to give Wu Meiniang a surprise without telling her, but he thought it was fine. Wu Meiniang often went to various places to do business in the wind and rain, so it would be bad if she missed out on it by accident at that time. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Pang Fei of the Xiang Prefecture Military Manor, informing him of the same matter, and asked Chen Yan briefly about the news. Pang Fei was a smart person, so he didn’t need to talk about what he should do and what he should prepare.
When Qin Mubai was in the study, Princess Gao Yang chatted with her mother and sister on the theme of traveling.
They couldn’t wait any longer, and the Qin Family had already packed their bags long ago, waiting for Qin Mubai to give the order to set off south. It was winter, and the pass was very cold. Jing Xiang and Huyang were much warmer. Mother Madam Liu was originally from the south, so she was filled with nostalgia for that place.
When Qin Mubai arrived among them, the three of them looked at him with eager eyes and asked, “When do you get up and go to Xiangzhou?”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Right now.”
‘”Yeah–” Princess Gaoyang and Shuang’er cheered and clapped their hands in celebration.
“Mother, I’ll get the maids and servants to clean up the carriages and horses!” Shuang’er hurriedly ran away.
Mrs. Liu was also very happy. She stood up and said, “Help Shuang’er for mother and entrust the matters of the family to the butler and Yao’er.”
“Wait, mother.” Qin Mubai stopped her and said, “Didn’t we agree to bring Yao’er with us?”
“She won’t go.” Madam Liu stood still and smiled regretfully. “This child is just stubborn. She said that Wu Meiniang handed over the Qin Immortal Pavilion in Chang’an to her. She can’t leave her post without permission. Moreover, she has to take care of the little orphans. If she wants to leave, she must bring them with her, for fear of disturbing us.”
Qin Mubai knitted her brows and said, “She went to the Qin Immortal Pavilion early in the morning, didn’t she? I will personally go and persuade her to come with us later. If there is anything big in the Qin Immortal Pavilion, just leave it to Wu Yuanqing. Isn’t it more joyous to bring a group of little girls?”
“Forget it, Sanlang.” Mother whispered, “Although Yao’er’s temperament is gentle and weak, she has her own ideas and opinions. You should respect her opinion.”
Qin Mubai knitted his eyebrows and remained silent. He thought to himself, Although Yao’er has been adopted as my father’s adopted daughter, he still refuses to travel with us. In the end, he still puts himself in the position of a lowly servant and refuses to enjoy the treatment of “master”. Moreover, along the way, Princess Gaoyang accompanied her, and she went to Xiang Zhou and Wu Meiniang … Seeing me flirt with them and show her affection, wouldn’t it be a kind of torture for her as well?
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and said, “Alright! However, I’m worried about leaving her alone in Chang’an.”
“This is easy.” Princess Gaoyang replied, “Didn’t we still have a Baiji Guard sent by Royal Father? Leave half of them behind to protect Yao’er and the little orphans!”
Qin Mubai Wan’er smiled and said, “You’ve finally done something reliable-just do it!”
“Hehe!” Princess Gaoyang smiled complacently, but her expression immediately changed. “You mean to say that what I did before was completely unreliable? … What do you mean by reliable?”
‘”Cough, this” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, indicating that Princess Gao Yang was present. As expected, Princess Gao Yang immediately changed colors. She had a dignified and dignified expression, and a seemingly pure smile appeared on her face.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and smiled, then said goodbye to her busy self. Just as she left, Princess Gao Yang jumped up and threw Qin Mubai, who was sitting on the couch, to the ground.
“Hurry up and tell me, what do you mean by reliable?!”
…
Three days later, in Xiangyang County of Xiangzhou Prefecture City, in the rear hall of the “Qin Xian Trading Firm” in Chengbei Port City.
After Wu Meiniang finished reading a letter, her red lips curled up slightly, and the corners of her mouth outlined a charming and teasing smile.
“Does this guy finally remember me?”
Su Lianqing sat beside her and kicked the melon seeds with her legs. She spat out a piece of melon seed shell and smiled with a demonic aura, “Congratulations, boss! Congratulations boss!”
Wu Meiniang gently and elegantly folded the letter back into the envelope with her fingers. She looked sideways at her and said with a smile that was not a smile, “What are you worried about?”
Su Lianqing curled her lips and said, “Looking at how lovely and happy your smile is, it must be Qin Mubai coming!”
Wu Meiniang smiled and did not comment.
Su Lianqing, was she a thousand-year-old demon among women, or was it something that she could not see through? This little thing between a little boy and a little girl was as familiar to her as her fingers, which she had seen ten thousand times. Sometimes, Wu Meiniang even wondered if a woman would be interested in a man or a relationship after living to her level. He was about to become a demon.
However, the reality was that Su Lianqing, a thousand-year-old old demon, was always like a young woman who longed to meet the “true son of heaven” in her life. She truly fell in love with someone like a 16-year-old woman, and then she unhesitatingly married him, gave birth to a fat boy, and quietly lived her entire life.
Although it was exaggerated, it was actually a life that more than 90% of women in the world would experience. How can there be so many classic love stories that have been passed down for centuries? Vulgarity and commonness were the common things in this world. Just as everyone was yearning for world-shaking shock and self-righteousness, Su Lianqing was yearning for the most common vulgarity and commonness in this world.
“Woman, what a strange animal.” Wu Meiniang couldn’t help but recall what Qin Mubai had said. “Su Lianqing, if I let you be Qin Mubai’s woman, would you be willing?”
“Not willing.” Su Lianqing answered without hesitation. Then, she looked at Wu Meiniang sideways and stopped her without waiting for her to ask, “Don’t ask me why.”
Wu Meiniang frowned, “Why?”
Su Lianqing’s expression and movements froze for a moment. She threw away a few withered melon seeds in her hand and clapped her hands. “He’s a hooligan, I’m an asshole. We don’t meet!”
Wu Meiniang smiled, her apricot eyes curved and her charming posture flashed.
The difference between a woman and a girl was by no means that simple membrane. Perhaps a year ago, Wu Meiniang was still a girl, a peerlessly beautiful and intelligent girl. But now, Su Lianqing had no choice but to admit that she was already a woman.
Her charm came from the experience of life and emotion and the precipitation of wisdom, which had already penetrated deep into her bones. In the eyes of the secular world, Wu Meiniang, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, might be qualified to be a mother, but at such an age, she was destined to be unable to shake off the label of “immaturity”.
However, Wu Meiniang, who had traveled all over the place to create a huge business world, would never be able to equate her with her immaturity. Those shrewd old merchants who had come into contact with her, never dared to underestimate Wu Meiniang because she was a young woman.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old successful person, a business genius, already had a “legendary” halo above his head. This was almost enough to ignore her age and even gender.
Therefore, Su Lianqing had always believed that Wu Meiniang was definitely an existence that was even more monstrous than her in this world. Without a holiday, this young woman’s dao could eat her to death.
This was also the reason why Su Lianqing had been following Wu Meiniang calmly and muddleheaded, even if she allowed her to shout and drink like a servant. It was because he was much more skilled in martial arts, smarter than her, smarter than her, fiercer than her, and even more shameless, shameless, and lascivious than her. However, the only person who was more monstrous than her was Wu Meiniang.
When Su Lianqing grabbed the fourth handful of melon seeds, a maid came in and announced that the Zheng Clan’s eldest young master, Zheng Anshun, had arrived.
“Here we go again. Let’s not give up.” Su Lianqing frivolously spat out a melon seed shell and looked at Wu Meiniang provocatively. “Big Boss, if you don’t cut off the little tail of this infatuation seed, the moment Qin Zhengfang arrives, the world will be in chaos.”
Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly, “Isn’t that better?-Invite him in and prepare tea!”
Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and said, “I’m waiting to watch the show.”
Zheng Anshun came, as usual, his footsteps were light and unhurried, neither deep nor frivolous, just like the only boat on the surface of Qing Zhou’s river, unrestrained and unfettered.
The only heir to the richest man in the world of the Tang Dynasty, the weirdo of the business world, was able to do this with such a refreshing and natural manner. It was not easy to greet an ordinary maid and servant with a smile without the slightest arrogance or harshness of a wealthy person.
Su Lianqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Zheng Anshun, saying, “Zheng Anshun is the perfect husband for more than 90% of women in the Great Tang Empire.”
Wu Meiniang smiled and remained silent.
“It’s a pity that the person he loves is actually within another 10%.”
“Not necessarily.” Wu Meiniang smiled, her smile a little strange.
Su Lianqing was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. A demonic aura immediately flashed in her eyes, “You want to leave the wall on Women’s Day? This is exciting!”
“Zheng Anshun, in my opinion, he is perfect. This is the truth. I admit that it can’t be changed even if I don’t admit it. However, it has nothing to do with whether I like him or not.” The smile on Wu Meiniang’s face was still faint, but in Su Lianqing’s eyes, it was somewhat unfathomable.
“Sophistry, rap.” Su Lianqing sneered, “How dare you say that you are not moved at all by his infatuation?”
“No.” Wu Meiniang replied resolutely.
“Who are you lying to?” Su Lianqing sneered.
“For someone who doesn’t even have a heart, what’s the point of talking about it?” The corner of Wu Meiniang’s mouth curled up slightly. She folded the letter with both hands and put it into her arms. She put it close to her flesh and said, “My heart has long been swallowed by a playful and shameless hooligan.”
Su Lianqing raised her eyebrows in horror and curled her lips. “Damn duck’s mouth is hard! I don’t believe it. If Qin Mubai waits for another year and a half and doesn’t pay attention to you and only wants to have sex with other women, can you resist cheating on her?”
“Perhaps!” Wu Meiniang smiled again with relief. A wicked smile that was almost like a fox appeared on her beautiful face. She whispered, “But he just happened to be very lucky. Even if I wanted to get out of the wall, I wouldn’t have a chance, would I?”
Su Lianqing was a little angry. It was the feeling of waiting to see a good play but waiting bitterly for a long time to see a rotten play that she had seen thousands of times. She threw away the remaining melon seeds in her hand and rolled her eyes. “Waste my saliva!”
