Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 85
Chapter 85 Rare Visitor Facing the Sect
In the evening, the four of them left the manor and went home. Before leaving, a group of little girls and Yao’er were far away from each other. Princess Gaoyang held one on each side and said with a smile, “I’ve never been so happy before! Big sister Yao’er, your family is so fun, you’re so free. I’ll come and play often in the future!”
“Your Highness is an honored guest who can’t even be invited. The commoners are most welcome.” Yao’er smiled.
“Don’t be a princess. I don’t want to remember what kind of princess I am when I’m with you.” Princess Gaoyang said, “Life in the palace is really tiring. Everyone has a stern face and is afraid of making mistakes. Even if I’m a princess, I have to abide by countless rules. I’m sick of it! I feel like a bird has flown out of a cage. It’s so easy and free! I’m so happy!”
“Haha!” Everyone laughed.
In fact, other than the straightforward Yao’er, Qin Mubai and the others also felt the same way. In Yao’er’s big family, it was always filled with love and warmth, kindness and Yao’er and a group of innocent and pure little girls. They were like a pure lotus in this muddy mortal world, untainted by mud, making people feel relaxed and happy. Staying in such a place was like blowing a cool breeze in the summer. In the cold wind, a furnace was found to warm up. His heart was like floating to a peaceful and quiet paradise. He lazily wandered about without fighting or troubles. He forgot about his melancholy and restraints, just like a white cloud in the clear sky.
To Qin Mubai and Li Ke, who were unable to separate themselves from political games and various battles, Yao’er’s home was like a relay station for the same soul. If a man is a boat that can take advantage of the wind and rain, this place is like a harbor that can take shelter from the wind and rain.
To Princess Gaoyang, this was the most relaxing and comfortable place in the world. There was no restriction of the court rules, no so-called royal dignity and princess style. These things sometimes made her feel very cool and enjoyable, but most of the time, they were actually a kind of restraint.
To Qin Shuang’er, who had a deep and exquisite heart, this place allowed her to experience the beauty of human nature. The gentle beauty of women and the selfless love of motherhood that she had buried in her heart had been unearthed. She was unable to explain why she had fallen in love with this place in such a short period of time. She had fallen in love with Yao’er and this group of little girls, and only had a faint feeling in her heart … Perhaps she could see Li Ke often here.
“I have a suggestion.” Li Ke suddenly said, “In the future, this place will be called ‘Chen Liju’. It means that everyone who arrives here will forget the pain and troubles and be able to get rid of the dust in the world. It doesn’t matter who comes here, no matter how noble or inferior they are, everyone is their best friend.”
“Your Highness, your decisions today are truly wiser than before. I raise my hands to express my approval.” Qin Mubai smiled.
“Alright!” Princess Gaoyang and Qin Shuang’er laughed happily.
Yao’er smiled faintly and said, “Chen Li Ju is really a good name … It’s just that the humble house is remote and crude, but as long as you don’t dislike it, you are welcome to come and play at any time.”
“We will definitely come here often!”
…
After taking the carriage to the street corner, the four of them went home in two groups. They agreed to go to the Li Chen Residence together tomorrow morning.
Qin Mubai and the other siblings didn’t walk far. Princess Gao Yang lifted the window of the carriage and looked back. She giggled and said, “Hehe, so the Qin Mansion is over there. It’s very close to Fourth Brother’s mansion! Alright, we know where that guy lives!”
It was dinner time when he returned home. When Qin Shubao saw the two siblings return with a relaxed expression, he smiled and said, “Looks like you guys had a good time today. Tell me, where did you all go?”
Qin Shuang’er had always been the most liked by Qin Shu Bao, and her mouth was sweet. She chirped about today’s schedule to Qin Shu Bao, but she only concealed the fact that she was going out with Li Ke and the other siblings. She also listened to Qin Mubai’s instructions and did not mention the piano, so as to prevent her father from suspecting her.
When talking about Yao’er adopting a group of orphans, Qin Shubao stopped his chopsticks and slightly knitted his brows. I didn’t expect this weak little blind demon to be so kind and capable. Shuang’er, you usually have nothing to do at home. If you have time, you can go there more often. After all, she is busy making a living and her eyes are inconvenient. See if you can help her. “This is a good thing for you to accumulate virtue. Father, I will support you with all my might!”
“Daughter obeys orders, father!” Qin Shuang’er clasped her fists and bowed like a general, overflowing with joy.
Qin Mubai laughed in his heart, “This girl has finally found something to do.” Moreover, in the future, she will be able to meet Li Ke righteously …
“Mubai, father never liked you to play with those magic tricks and lecherous things. However, it seems that you did one thing right this time-you took in a good girl like Yao’er as a disciple to teach her how to play the pipa.” Qin Shubao smiled happily. “Not only did you save a good woman who was about to fall into the dust, you also helped many other orphans. It’s always easy to kill people but difficult to save them. Not bad, not bad!”
“Father is overestimating me.” Qin Mubai smiled and felt very comfortable. At that time, it was just an unintentional move to casually accept Yao’er as a nominal disciple, and he had never taught her anything seriously. He hadn’t expected that he would accidentally interfere in the affairs of the willow trees and instead accumulate a great deal of merit.
After dinner, the family went for a leisurely walk in the backyard. After listening to Qin Mubai play the pipa for a while, it was almost nightfall. It was time for Qin Mubai and his father to practice martial arts.
At this moment, someone from the Qin Clan came to ask for an audience. Two rare guests-the Wu Yuanqing brothers-came.
The two brothers took over the world’s number one liquor from Wu Meiniang. The real power was still in the hands of Wu Meiniang, the “chairman”. They were more like senior wage earners like the “general manager and deputy general manager”.
Upon entering the Qin Mansion, the Wu brothers felt a little panicked. Seeing that everyone was a bit inferior, they nodded and bowed with a smile. Qin Shubao had never seen these two “in-laws” before, so he did not have a good impression of them and received them in the main hall out of courtesy.
When the Wu brothers saw Qin Shubao, they knelt down neatly and said, “Greetings, Duke Yi!”
“Since you are in-laws, you are a family. You don’t need to care about such vulgar rituals.” Qin Shubao said kindly, “Please stand up and take your seats.”
Qin Mubai stood beside his father and cupped his hands to the two of them, “Greetings, uncles and brothers.”
The Wu brothers hurriedly returned the greeting and sat down stiffly.
“May I know what the two of you are here for?” Qin Shubao asked straightforwardly.
The two brothers gave each other a look. Wu Yuanqing seemed to have gathered his courage as he stood up and bowed, “I have something I want to discuss with Duke Yi … but I don’t know if I should say it properly.”
“But it doesn’t matter.”
“That’s true.” Wu Yuanqing lowered his eyebrows and followed his eyes. He didn’t even dare to look at Qin Shubao and said, “We brothers have already discussed it. It seems a bit too much for Mother Mei to keep her father in filial piety for three years and not marry.” In terms of filial piety, there are the two of us. Mother Mei was a woman and a concubine, so there was no need to obey such a custom. “Plus, Mother Mei is deeply attached to Mubai, so after discussing with my mother, we decided to officially marry Mother Mei in advance. There’s no need to wait for more than a year.”
“Huh?” Qin Shubao frowned in surprise, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
“Of course, of course. We’re just suggesting that the Duke of Winged Nation decide everything!” Wu Yuanqing looked at Qin Shubao and said hurriedly.
“Why did the originally scheduled wedding date suddenly come earlier?” Qin Shubao only thought for a moment and said, “First, Wu Meiniang is still young. She still has a lot to learn about how to be a woman and a mother. To her, early marriage is not necessarily a good thing for Sanlang and their family.” Furthermore, this father’s filial piety is a great moral obligation. Our Qin Family has always been strict and respectful, so we must not break such a rule. Since there is a marriage contract, just follow the agreement in advance. There is no need to advance it. ”
“Uh … Since Duke Yi has made up his mind, I don’t have much left.” Wu Yuanqing’s expression was a little ugly. He bowed awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you. I’ll take my leave!”
“Delivery.”
After the Wu brothers left, Qin Shubao’s expression, which was not bad just now, became a little dull. Seeing this scene, Qin Mubai said, “Father, don’t think too much. Based on my understanding of Wu Meiniang and Madam Yang, the Wu brothers must have done this behind their backs this time. It’s definitely not Madam Yang and Madam Wu Meiniang’s intention.”
“Father naturally saves me the trouble. No young lady would lick her shamelessly and hurry to get married.” Qin Shubao heaved a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, “They have ulterior motives! Sanlang, guess what they are thinking.”
“Very simple.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “A married daughter is like a spill of water. From now on, she has little to do with the Wu Clan.” Now that the number one wine in the world was so popular, the Wu Clan’s financial resources and family business were becoming more and more abundant. The two Wu brothers must be obsessed with money and want to take it for themselves, so they are so focused on kicking Wu Meiniang out that they are their own boss. Moreover, not long ago by the han king li yuanchang, they are worried that your father anger and anger and regret destroyed, then their martial arts is really chicken fly eggs. That’s what they did to steal money, to stabilize the relationship between our two families. ”
“That’s right.” Qin Shubao snorted and sneered, “Just this one thing alone can tell that the Wu brothers are truly despicable people. They are greedy for money and forget righteousness. Being in-laws with such a person … is not a pleasant thing.”
“Fortunately, Madam Yang and Wu Meiniang are not such people.” Qin Mubai said, “Actually, in the past in the Wu Clan, this pair of brothers had always been suppressing and excluding Wu Mei Niang and her daughter, wishing that they could be driven out of the Wu Clan to monopolize their family property. They are indeed greedy and unscrupulous villains, but they are also especially easy to deal with.”
“It’s good that you’re clear in your heart.” Qin Shubao’s expression was indifferent. “In the future, this is all your own business. You can take good care of it yourself.”
“Yes, father.” Qin Mubai agreed and secretly cursed in her heart, “You two rich fans and idiots surnamed Wu, you only added fuel to my fire at this time. Now father hates Wu Meiniang even more-don’t you think I’m not annoying enough?”
You’ve probably recovered from your scars and forgotten about the pain. Give me some sunshine and it’ll be incomparably brilliant. Looks like it’s time to teach you a lesson!
