Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Unreasonable
It seems inappropriate to describe a man as “elegant”. Sentences like “coming out of the mud without dyeing, washing clean without demon” are more like the portrayal of a beautiful and refined woman.

However, it was appropriate to use it on Zheng Anshun.

His attire had always been “decent”, never piled up with precious artifacts that showed off his wealth and wealth; His smile was very refreshing and his eyes were very clean. His figure might not be considered tall and majestic, but he could really be called “Yushu Lingfeng”.

Such a man, coupled with his abundant knowledge and rich life experiences, and his unparalleled wealth and handsome appearance, if he was single and unmarried, he would not even have heard of romantic gossip. To a woman, this was perfect.

Just like Chen Yan had said, a man like Zheng Anshun was a little unrealistic.

However, in Wu Meiniang’s eyes, this man who made the world’s women feel as if they were dreaming of flowers was only his eldest brother and business partner, and even deeper was her teacher and backer. In these past few years, if it weren’t for the Zheng Clan’s support and Zheng Anshun’s help, Wu Meiniang wouldn’t have been able to reach this point.

Wu Meiniang looked at Zheng Anshun, who was sitting across from her, drinking tea elegantly, but in her mind, she thought of the bastard man who was still hundreds of miles away, bringing another woman to play with the mountains and rivers, and who was so mighty and mighty that he came to her.

Even she herself felt that this was very unfair to Zheng Anshun. But in her heart, she knew better than anyone what she was thinking about Zheng Anshun.

Wu Meiniang was filled with respect, respect, and gratitude towards him. She could be considered a brother that could be trusted and relied on. She definitely could not be linked to the relationship between a man and a woman. No matter how he deduced it, Zheng Anshun should not be that kind of dumb young man who had just begun to have feelings for him. However, he took Wu Meiniang’s “friendship” for him as his feelings. It was still the kind that was extremely hazy, ambiguous, and innocent.

Wu Meiniang remembered Qin Mubai’s statement, “In a man’s life, the most unforgettable thing is his ambition when he was young and frivolous, as well as his first love.”

The former might not come true, but the latter would come sooner or later.

Right now, Wu Meiniang felt that Zheng Anshun had taken her as his first love. It made her feel a little guilty.

Su Lianqing was still chatting with Zheng Anshun as heartlessly as before. In fact, apart from dealing with business matters, Wu Meiniang rarely talked to Zheng Anshun. On the contrary, Su Lianqing always kept her mouth shut.

“Young Master Zheng, I have an important piece of news to sell to you today. It’s worth ten taels of gold.” After Su Lianqing finished speaking, she very impolitely extended her hand to Zheng Anshun.

Zheng Anshun smiled. He took out a seal and stamped it on Su Lianqing’s palm. He said, “I don’t have any money with me. I’ll go to my shop to get it.”

Wu Meiniang shook her head helplessly and smiled, “Young Master Zheng, this is how you spoiled Su Lianqing. Now, she doesn’t even look forward to the day when I pay her wages.”

“Everyone gets what they need.” Zheng Anshun smiled and said to Su Lianqing, “Tell me, what kind of news is worth ten taels of gold? Last time you told me that you only sold for the usual amount of money for a shocking event. In the end, only the old Chen Clan pig next door gave birth to seventeen piglets.”

“Hehe!” Su Lianqing smiled thievingly and leaned forward in a very shapeless manner, letting the Geocentric Drawing Heart suck in a deep fissure from her rich breasts that had been half exposed in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. She leaned closer to Zheng Anshun’s ear, but deliberately said that Wu Meiniang also heard, “Qin Mubai, you’re coming to Xiangyang.”

After Zheng Anshun heard this, a smile appeared on his face for a second or two. He looked at Wu Meiniang playfully and said, “Is this worth ten taels of gold?”

“I’m willing to buy and sell. The money and goods will be cleared!” Su Lianqing clapped her hands and laughed thievingly, “Young Master Zheng, do you really not think this news is worth ten taels of gold?”

“Since we are merchants, we should pay attention to each penny. If Qin Mubai wants to come, it should be Mama Mei who is happy. If you sell it to her, you might even be able to sell it for this price.” Zheng Anshun smiled.

“Then are you regretting it?” Su Lianqing curled her lips, revealing an obvious look of disdain. “The richest man in the world, there’s no need to be so petty!”

“I don’t regret it.” Zheng Anshun still only smiled. “In fact, it’s easy to make money, but it’s a subject of learning to suffer losses. To be able to let an expert like Miss Su take advantage of Zheng is actually something you can’t ask for.”

“Haha!” Su Lianqing laughed heartlessly and arrogantly, “Zheng Anshun, with your clever mouth, all the girls in the world who can be coaxed and cheated should obediently climb onto your bed. I’m surprised, why can’t you take down our Wu Dong Clan?”

“Too much, Su Lianqing.” Wu Meiniang glanced at her. She was neither angry nor dignified. She only spoke in a chatty tone.

Su Lianqing raised her eyebrows, “Alright, I’ll shut up. I’m just not worth it for Young Master Zheng.”

“This isn’t business. Is it worth it?” Zheng Anshun smiled and said, “Luo Hua is intentional, flowing water is ruthless, and things are common in this world. Mama Mei already has her own heart, and I am also aware of it, so I don’t insist on it.”

Su Lianqing was puzzled, “Then you’re still so determined?”

Zheng Anshun picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said something that made Wu Meiniang and Su Lianqing remember for a long time, “Because I don’t want to make myself regret it.”

Su Lianqing rolled her eyes in confusion.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “Young Master Zheng, you are a good man with a true temperament. I don’t think you are worthy of her. Really.”

“I believe you.” Zheng Anshun smiled slightly, but his smile was somewhat bitter. He said, “There is no reason to talk about love.”

“Why is there no reason to speak? If I were the Wu family, I would choose you without hesitation!” Su Lianqing said somewhat uncomfortably.

Zheng Anshun smiled, “What do you mean?”

Su Lianqing tilted her head and saw that Wu Meiniang was also looking at her with interest, so she became excited. “Then let’s compare Qin Mubai to Young Master Zheng. Wu Dongjia, do you dare to tell the truth?”

Wu Meiniang smiled lightly without any hesitation or burden, “Why not?”

“Alright then, listen carefully.” Su Lianqing said seriously, “Qin Mubai, does Young Master Zheng look handsome?”

“To be fair, no.” Wu Meiniang said without hesitation, “However, the eyes of the lover are full of charms. Well, Mubai often explains shamelessly why I give up on him.”

“Alright, let’s pretend that what you said makes sense.” Su Lianqing said, “Qin Mubai, do you have Young Master Zheng’s knowledge and self-control?”

“No.” Wu Meiniang chuckled, “Not only does he not have Young Master Zheng’s knowledge and self-restraint, he is simply ignorant and very hooligan.”

Zheng Anshun shook his head and smiled, but Su Lianqing was enraged. She did not give up and continued, “Does Qin Mubai have a family background and wealth like Young Master Zheng?”

“Neither.” Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “When I met him, the Qin Family had already declined. Although the Qin Family still had a halberd, his father had long since faded out of the court without any real power, let alone wealth.” In fact, Qin Mubai was a poor man. Over the years, the only thing he gave me was the tens of acres of land when I opened my shop in Chang’an and the food he gave me when I came to Xiangzhou. I haven’t touched the land yet, and the grain was sold, but half of the money went to Li Ke, and the other half was used by him to study the Five Finger Divine Lightning. In other words, he almost never gave me a penny to spend. Instead, he made me spend a lot of money on him. On the contrary, if it weren’t for Young Master Zheng, there would definitely be no place for me, Wu Meiniang, today. ”

“Look at you, how clearly you’ve thought about it!” Su Lianqing crossed her arms in front of her chest and said aggressively like she was interrogating a prisoner, “Let me ask you again, is Qin Mubai treating you as affectionately as Young Master Zheng?”

“There’s no need to ask.” Wu Meiniang smiled and said indifferently, “Everyone knows that he is going to marry Princess Gaoyang. Apart from that, there are quite a few women beside him.”

“Compared to this, Qin Mubai is simply an asshole!” Su Lianqing said angrily, “I don’t understand. Wu Dongjia, did you eat too much lard and lose your mind, or was Qin Mubai drinking some kind of soup that made you want to give up on Qin Mubai, who is the number one bastard in the world?”

Wu Meiniang didn’t laugh angrily and didn’t say anything. She looked at Zheng Anshun apologetically.

“I understand,” Zheng Anshun smiled.

“Do you understand? What the hell do you understand!” Su Lianqing was even a little angry. Looking at Zheng Anshun’s expression of not being able to hold back a single fart for a long time and his expression of not shouting when the sky collapsed, she was really a little annoyed. There was also a bit of hatred for steel.

However, Zheng Anshun did not care about it. He said indifferently, “This is the case with emotions. If everything is clearly stated and counted as fair, then it is not emotions. It is a deal.”

Su Lianqing was stunned. She rolled her eyes in a daze and was speechless.

“Young Master Zheng, Mother Mei’s life is destined to belong to that bastard Qin Mubai. However, I hope that you can have a big brother who will always accompany Mother Mei. You can understand her as my greed and selfishness, but that’s what I really think in my heart.” Wu Meiniang looked at Zheng Anshun with a smile and said sincerely, “Because you are the only true gentleman I have ever seen.”

Su Lianqing glanced sideways at Wu Meiniang and almost cursed out, “Cunning!” You clearly wanted to reject Zheng Anshun, but you didn’t want the Zheng Clan to abandon you and continue to use it for you! –Recognize your brother? You must have the nerve to use such a vulgar and old-fashioned method! Sadly, Zheng Anshun was foolish enough to fall for a trap even if he knew it was a trap!

Zheng Anshun heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile that Su Lianqing hadn’t expected. “Actually, I’ve fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you. However, I knew from the beginning that you were engaged to Qin Mubai and had feelings for him. However, I never regretted it. Now and in the future,” he said.

Su Lianqing curled her lips and said, “Big love, big idiot! Other than Wu Meiniang, who else in the world wouldn’t let you take whatever you want? You’re really a bastard!”

“Su Lianqing, do you know why you haven’t met the man in your life?” Wu Meiniang suddenly asked.

“Why?” Su Lianqing asked curiously.

“Because you don’t understand emotions at all.”

Su Lianqing was not surprised. She just grinned nonchalantly and smiled, “Big boss, this old lady was once young, innocent, and idiotic.”

Wu Meiniang and Zheng Anshun looked at her together, “Then what?”

Su Lianqing placed her hands on her chest and looked at the distant horizon. She spat a mouthful of white saliva on the ground, including melon seeds.

“Then, I met a bastard who was ten times more than Qin Mubai, a hundred times more than Qin Mubai, a beast!”

Zheng Anshun frowned and smiled apologetically, indicating that he shouldn’t inquire about her sad past. “Su Lianqing, you’re insulting the beast again. But I don’t mind if you compare Qin Mubai to him. That fellow deserves to be scolded. You scolded me hard after meeting him.” Wu Meiniang raised the corner of her mouth and said indifferently, “Su Lianqing, you’re insulting the beast again. But I don’t mind if you compare Qin Mubai to him.”

A bitter smile of despair appeared on Zheng Anshun’s face. He shook his head and said, “You’ve always been very polite to me. You haven’t even said a single heavy word.”

A few days later, in front of the Xiangyang Eight Ghosts Ferry Pier.

Pang Fei was dressed in casual clothes, leading a few trusted generals from the military manor to watch from the shore. Su Lianqing and a few women were standing not far from them, eating a packet of Xiangyang specialty snacks that they had just bought in the port city.

“Hey, Pang Fei!” Towards Pang Fei, one of the top “big shots” in Xiangzhou, Su Lianqing, the “big matchmaker”, never knew how to be polite. She called out, “Come, come, I have something to ask you!”

Pang Fei smiled indifferently and walked over, “What does Big Sister Su have to say?”

“Let me ask you!” Su Lianqing wrapped a ball of food in her mouth and vaguely said, “When did Qin Mubai come? He has been waiting at the harbor for three days now. You, the Commandant of Xiang Zhou Prefecture, aren’t you tired of pretending to be a commoner and waiting here? I’m sick of it!”

“If Big Sister Su is tired, you might as well go back and rest first. Just let me wait here for Master Pang.” Pang Fei smiled.

After more than a year of intense training, Pang Fei had completely removed the last layer of green on his body, and he had transformed into an upper echelon that would tremble three times even if he stepped on the ground of Xiangzhou. This kind of aura, “as calm as Mount Tai, moving like a gale sweeping through the forest,” and the silence that was restrained from the Mighty City Manor without anger, could not be pretended to be real.

“I don’t understand. Why do you two give up on Qin Mubai?” Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and said angrily, “What’s so good about him?”

Pang Fei shook his head and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, “You don’t understand.”

“Of course I don’t understand why I’m asking you! Don’t act like a dog in front of me, quickly tell me!”

The corner of Pang Fei’s nonchalant mouth twitched slightly upwards. His expression and expression seemed to return to the days when he followed Qin Mubai more than a year ago. He said something that made Su Lianqing a little mad,

“Actually, I don’t understand either. But I know that I should do it. It’s just like eating every day. It’s only natural.”

On the bow of the ship, Qin Mubai, who was originally looking at the familiar Eight Ghosts Crossing Wharf, suddenly sneezed.

“Which bastard is cursing me?” He rubbed his nose and scolded.

Princess Gaoyang hooked his elbow and excitedly pointed forward, “Mubai, here we are! I see Xiangyang!”

“Really?” Mrs. Liu and Shuang’er also walked out of the cabin. Their excitement was overflowing with words, and there was also an urgent need to be relieved from the tiredness of the journey.

On the deck stood a dozen or so Baiji guards, their faces filled with joy as if they were returning home.

“You can still laugh?” Qin Mubai smiled maliciously at Princess Gao Yang. “I’m going to see Wu Meiniang soon. I’m going to make out with her and throw you to the side.”

“Chi, I’m not afraid!” Princess Gaoyang said nonchalantly, “This princess and Mother Mei are sisters. Don’t try to alienate us. Maybe we’ll both put you to the side in a while and let you hide and cry!”

“Is that so?” Qin Mubai glanced at her mother and sister behind her and whispered in her ear, “At night, I won’t hold you to sleep anymore.”

“That won’t scare me.” Princess Gaoyang’s face was filled with the kind of evil smile that made Qin Mubai’s hair stand on end. She put her hand in Qin Mubai’s ear and said stealthily, “At most, the three of them will sleep together. It will be warmer!”
