Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Return To Xiangyang
When the boat landed, Qin Mubai helped her mother out of the boat. When his feet touched the ground, he felt a little relieved. After all, humans belonged to the land, and they floated beneath their feet even when traveling by boat.

The people of Xiangyang also saw this kind of boat docking at the Eight Ghosts Crossing. In addition, the Baiji guards were also dressed in casual clothes, so people only guessed which rich family might have come. At most, he could only glance at them, but he didn’t pay any attention to them.

Pang Fei excitedly greeted the riverbank, ignoring the cold and wet winter days, he shook off his front robes and knelt on the ground with his head nodded. “Student greets Madam Dowager, respectfully greets Master Teacher!”

“Get up quickly. There’s no need for such a big gift.” Qin Mubai stepped forward and pulled him up. After carefully examining him, she nodded and smiled with satisfaction, “I haven’t seen him in over a year. Pang Fei, you’ve become something.”

“Thank you, Master!” Although Pang Fei tried his best to remain calm, he was still unable to conceal his excitement. He went forward to salute Mrs. Liu, salute Princess Gao Yang and Shuang’er, and chat with the Hundred Cavalry robes one by one.

Qin Mubai saw Su Lianqing standing at the side, looking at him with her hands crossed and smiling calmly. “Old Su, long time no see, you’re getting younger and younger.”

Su Lianqing was instantly enraged and laughed. She spat out two mouthfuls and said, “Dogs can’t spit out ivory from their mouths!”

“If you have the ability, can you spit out two for me to see?” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Where’s Mama Mei?”

“I’m waiting at home!” Su Lianqing curled her lips and glanced at Princess Madam Liu, who was supporting Gaoyang with Shuang’er. She said embarrassedly, “You’re really cheerful. Leaving Wu Dongjia alone in Xiangyang without asking, aren’t you afraid that she would cheat on her?”

Qin Mubai raised the corners of her mouth and smiled relaxedly, “If I don’t have that much confidence, I’m also worthy of being a man of charming mothers?”

“Chi!” Su Lianqing sneered, “According to what you mean, besides you, Mama Mei can’t fall in love with other men? There won’t be any other men to provoke Mama Mei?”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “If a woman like Mama Mei is not liked or provoked by any other man, then it would be horrible. However, I have confidence in her.”

“I really don’t know why you are so confident.” Su Lianqing said very indignantly, “If there is a man who is ten million times better than you, and you don’t risk everything to pursue Wu Meiniang, I think you can still sit there!”

Qin Mubai laughed even more happily, “Such a man doesn’t exist in this world.”

“I really don’t know how to be ashamed!” Su Lianqing said angrily, “It’s far away in the sky, right in front of you! Right now, there’s only one beside Mama Mei! With my countless eyes, this man is like a phoenix compared to a sparrow compared to you!”

Qin Mubai frowned and looked at Su Lianqing, “Zheng Anshun?”

“Eh?” Su Lianqing was surprised, “You actually know? How is it? Are you anxious? Are you panicking?”

Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai revealed a relaxed smile and said, “Then I should be even more relieved.”

“Why?” Su Lianqing asked in confusion.

“Because not only do I have confidence in Wu Meiniang, I also have confidence in Zheng Anshun.” Qin Mubai said, “It’s impossible for Wu Meiniang to cheat on the wall, while Zheng Anshun is a true gentleman.”

“Nonsense. I’m too lazy to tell you.” Su Lianqing was bored and rolled her eyes at Qin Mubai angrily. “I’ve already sent someone to ride back to inform the owner. She should be preparing a banquet to welcome your family. Don’t blame her for not personally welcoming her. After all, she’s a big girl, not a thick-skinned man like Pang Fei.”

“I’m not narrow-minded enough.” Qin Mubai turned his head to look at Princess Gaoyang and the others who were chatting with Pang Fei. He gestured to Su Lianqing to walk to the side and whispered, “Let me introduce a business to you.”

Su Lianqing was instantly delighted. The business Qin Mubai had introduced must be good business, so she quickly said alertly, “Speak!”

Qin Mubai leaned closer to Su Lianqing’s ear and quickly said a few words.

Su Lianqing turned her head and stared at Qin Mubai with a frown. She shouted angrily, “This old lady has already washed her hands and left Jianghu. She is doing this kind of business that harms little men. You can find someone else!”

“Then you’re not going to do it?” Qin Mubai curled his lips and smiled indifferently, “Seeing that you’re an acquaintance, I’ll take care of you. Isn’t it easy to find someone? Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“Wait.” Su Lianqing rolled her eyes, bit her lips and said, “Tell me first, what good will this mother do afterwards?”

“What do you want the most now?” Qin Mubai asked.

“You need a good man. Marry me and have children. You don’t have to be rich or poor.” Su Lianqing blinked her pair of blurry eyes, which usually shone with a fox-like light, and said with a rare sincerity, “You must be a good man who doesn’t care about my past.”

Qin Mubai knitted his eyebrows. He crossed his elbow with one hand and touched his jaw with the other. He nodded and said, “Originally, you wanted to marry someone? Looks like this job isn’t easy for you to handle.”

“I can help you find someone to secretly arrange things.” Su Lianqing quickly replied, “You are definitely not as good at doing such a thing as I am. Furthermore, you are in the open and I am in the dark.”

“This is also the reason why I came looking for you.” Qin Mubai looked sideways at her and said, “You must be able to reassure me with your manpower. All of your actions must be carried out according to my instructions. There must be no mistakes or mistakes.”

“No problem.” Su Lianqing answered straightforwardly, and her usual frivolous expression and gaze were replaced with competence.

“After this is done, I will be in charge of arranging the rest of your life.” Qin Mubai looked at her with a smile and said, “Whether you have taken a fancy to the Prime Minister General or the beggar refugees, whether you want the mansion in Chang’an, the property in Xiangyang, or even the future of your children, I can handle it.”

Su Lianqing took a deep breath and slowly nodded. There was actually a trace of panic in his eyes as he looked at Qin Mubai.

After traveling in Jianghu for so many years, she had seen many different kinds of people. Official shopping malls, black and white streets of Jianghu, all living beings in the cold world. All of this taught her a lesson. Coppers wouldn’t fall from the sky, and the richer the reward, the greater the risk.

“Tell me, what will happen if I mess things up?” Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and glanced at Princess Gaoyang and the others. She whispered, “I’ve been in Jianghu for so many years, so I always give instructions first, and then I buy and sell.”

Qin Mubai nodded. His face was still filled with a harmless smile. “Since it’s a Jianghu business, let’s talk ugly first. If you guys go overboard, accidentally leak something that shouldn’t have been leaked … then kill yourselves decisively!” Qin Mubai said with a smile that was harmless to both humans and animals.

Su Lianqing took a deep breath of the humid air and nodded solemnly, “It’s fairly fair. Looks like my life is still worth some money. Alright, I’ll take this business!”

At this time, Princess Gao Yang, Mrs. Liu and the others had already walked over. Qin Mubai said briefly, “You go and find someone first. Other than me, no one else is allowed to know about this matter.”

“Understood.”

Princess Gaoyang walked over and glanced at Su Lianqing. She hurriedly pulled Qin Mubai to the side and whispered, “Mubai, why are you mumbling to this old witch endlessly? Don’t bother with her! Where are we going now?”

Qin Mubai smiled. Pang Fei came forward and cupped his hands. “Master, the students did not alert the military manor and the government office. They only rented a quiet and elegant courtyard in the county for rest. The food and utensils were personally arranged by the students. Master, you can rest assured.”

“Not bad.” Qin Mubai nodded in praise and said, “Bring these Hundred Cavalry Brothers over to settle down and entertain them. Let’s go sit down with Mama Mei first.”

“Yes.” Pang Fei cupped his fists and promised.

“Are you going to Mother Mei’s place? Sure!” Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, “I haven’t seen her for a long time. I really miss her!”

Shuang’er laughed jokingly from the side, “Your Highness, don’t you like it?”

“Of course not!” Princess Gaoyang raised her face proudly, “Mother Mei, that’s my man!”

The group of people were immediately speechless, and many people laughed inwardly.

Qin Mubai shook her head helplessly and patted her back, “Let’s go! Don’t pretend to be stupid here and act obedient. At least it’s the princess. She doesn’t choose her words!”

After traveling for too long, Qin Mubai and the others were unwilling to ride any more carriages and horses, insisting on walking. He walked into Xiangyang City from the Eight Ghosts Crossing and entered from Beicheng Port City.

The market was bustling with activity, and most of the merchants traveling to and fro were fish and shrimp. This was the first time Mrs. Liu and Shuang’er had come to Xiangyang, and they felt quite fresh. They were very interested in strolling and playing along the way, and the fatigue of their journey was about to be forgotten. ,

Princess Gaoyang followed Qin Mubai and whispered, “Mubai, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question.”

“What question? Why don’t you ask?”

“Why did you suddenly decide to leave Chang’an for a trip?” Princess Gaoyang asked confusedly, “You don’t care about Li Yuanchang anymore?”

Qin Mubai smiled faintly. “Some iron wants to be hit while it’s hot. There are some special ones that need to be cooled down to dry hammer.”

“Are you trying to divert Li Yuanchang’s attention and secretly attack him?” Princess Gaoyang said in surprise.

“Yes.” Qin Mubai gently nodded and said, “Things are more sensitive and can’t be solved by conventional means. Take your time!”-Since you’ve already arrived in Xiangyang, don’t think about it anymore. Have fun! ”

“That’s good too!” Princess Gaoyang’s child’s temperament revealed itself. She immediately turned around and smiled strangely. “I’m thinking now. I will definitely sleep with Mama Mei in my arms at night. What can you do?”

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes and deliberately glanced at the maidservant behind Princess Gaoyang and Su Lianqing not far ahead. He said, “There are many people I can hug. Especially here in Xiangyang, there are more who are crying and shouting to hug me.”

“You dare!”

At the entrance of Qin Xian’s shop, Wu Meiniang stood within three feet of the door, smiling as she placed her hands on her lower abdomen and waited patiently.

Zheng Anshun stood three feet away from the door with his hands behind his back. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the people walking in front of him and waited.

Seeing Zheng Anshun, Wu Meiniang could not help but shake her head and smile helplessly. This gentleman, who was gentle and polite like water, was far more stubborn than an ordinary person. If it weren’t for his extraordinary magnanimity and openness, who would still be standing here waiting for his “great love rival” to arrive?

Wu Meiniang knew that Zheng Anshun and Qin Mubai had a very close personal relationship, and with Li Ke, the three of them could be said to be like or sympathetic to each other. But at this moment, she couldn’t help but admire Zheng Anshun’s heart and bearing.

Extremely human, indeed, there was something extraordinary about it.

“Coming.” Zheng Anshun whispered. He turned to look at Wu Meiniang and smiled, “His mother and sister, as well as Princess Gaoyang. Which one would you bow to first, Meiniang?”

Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes, “Of course, my mother-in-law.”
