Chapter 77 Unexpected Ideas

Because he came home late, Qin Mubai hardly shocked his family. It was not until the next morning that he got up and went out to meet his mother Liu that his family knew that Qin Mubai was back.

Liu was very happy to see his baby son. The same is true of little sister Shuang'er. The three of them went to Qin Shubao's room together. He had just finished a set of punches and went back to the room to wash.

"Oh, when did Sanlang come back?" As soon as Qin Shubao saw Qin Mubai, he asked doubtfully.

"Dad, the child didn't come back until late last night, so he didn't dare to disturb him." Qin Mubai bowed his hand to see the salute.

The family of four had breakfast together. Liu and Shuang'er went to the market, saying that autumn was coming. They had to buy some cloth and thick satin to change clothes. By the way, they went to buy some good vegetables and sacrificed teeth for Qin Mubai.

After a month or two, Qin Shubao's body seemed to be healthier, and Qin Mubai was happy in his eyes.

Qin Shubao seemed to be in a good mood. He took his son to the backyard and rode a horse and shot an arrow. They sweated all over.

"I haven't had such a good time for a long time." Qin Shubao smiled and said, "It's a little boring to fight and practice arrows alone. Your eldest brother and brother are also busy and rarely come back once. Now you are so busy that you don't go home for a month or two. Tell me, you don't go home to see if you are close at it. What are you busy with all day?

Qin Mubai briefly told Qin Shubao about being a father in the palace.

"I've heard about this for a long time. Your eldest brother is on duty in Daming Palace. Come back and tell me." Qin Shubao's expression suddenly became more serious, "Other than that, what are you busy with?"

"No more!" Qin Mubai said a little confusedly.

"Real no?" Qin Shubao smiled coldly, "You pay for the errands in Daming Palace every evening, and you can always go home for a walk at night. Why don't you come back and have a look?"

Qin Mubai was nervous and knew that his father was talking about teaching Princess Gaoyang to play the pipa, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"What, there's nothing to say?" Qin Shubao did not sternly blame, but said seriously, "Sanlang, you are still too young, and many things are not a priority. The most complicated and dangerous place in the world is the palace. And around the emperor, he reached the peak. As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, which is not just a saying. If you repeatedly make taboos, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?

Qin Mubai nodded honestly: "Dad, I know what you mean... In fact, the child is also very clear in his heart, but there are some things that are quite helpless."

"That's a joke. Is it possible that Princess Gaoyang took the initiative to pester you?" Qin Shubao said.

"Maybe my father doesn't believe it, but it's true." Qin Mubai sighed, "The child never wanted to provoke her, and he was not interested in her at all. But..."

"That's all. You don't have to say it." Qin Shubao waved his hand and interrupted him, "Princess Gaoyang is young and ignorant. Are you as confused as her? If you can't clap your hands, you have your responsibility anyway. Don't just think about shodling.

"Yes, Dad." Qin Mubai didn't want to contradict his father, and he was too lazy to defend himself. This kind of thing is getting darker and darker.

"Actually... If Princess Gaoyang really likes you, it's not a bad thing." Suddenly, Qin Shubao said this.

"Ah?" Now Qin Mubai was stunned.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Shubao said, "It's not bad for men to get married and women to get married. Besides, I, Qin Shubao, have been born in the Tang Dynasty for so many years. As one of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has never married a daughter to our Qin family. The eldest son attacks the second son Shangzhu, which has always been a habit of my dynasty. There are many people who have married a princess. Why can't we have our Qin family? Even if you are the son of a concubine, what's the matter? My son is talented and capable, and he will have great prospects in the future. Although her Princess Gaoyang is favored, she is just a princess after all. You are completely worthy of her.

Qin Mubai was speechless. He never thought that Qin Shubao would suddenly say this.

"Why don't you talk?" Qin Shubao's fierce eyes fell on Qin Mubai.

"Dad, there is no way to start with this matter. One is that Princess Gaoyang is still very young, and the other is that the emperor loves her very much and it is impossible to marry her easily. In addition, there is no sense of male friendship between the child and her... The child treats her like an ignorant little child. Qin Mubai complained bitterly, and was afraid that Qin Shubao would be serious about this matter.

"You're not telling the truth, are you?" Qin Shubao said quietly, "Princess Gaoyang, I've seen it. At that time, although she was small, she was definitely a rare beauty. She inherited the appearance of her mother's Yindefei. Even if she is not charming, she is one in a million. Coupled with her background, I'm afraid there will be no man in the world who doesn't care about her. She is not young. Didn't the Empress Changsun marry the emperor at the age of thirteen or fourteen? Counting it, Princess Gaoyang is almost this age.

Does dad really want to promote this marriage and propose marriage to the emperor in person? Then it's really going to be miserable! - Qin Mubai hit a trace of chill from the bottom of his heart: "Dad, what do you want to say after all?"

"It's nothing. It's just a chat." Qin Shubao smiled relaxedly and said, "It's normal for a man to get married and a woman to get married. Is it normal for parents to worry about this kind of thing? Although you have made a date with that Wu Mei Niang, I don't think she is a good wife and mother who is diligent and thrifty. A man without a wife is like a tree without skin. Marrying a good wife is a lifelong thing.

Qin Mubai's heart was a little tight: Is his father dissatisfied with Wu Mei Niang and intends to withdraw from marriage? According to the laws and customs of the Tang Dynasty, it is a reasonable, legal and upright thing for a man to withdraw from marriage. There is no reason or shame. It is a very "righteous" thing in terms of law and morality.

"Dad, did you hear any rumors and have a preconception for Mei Niang?" Qin Mubai simply opened the skylight and said something clear. It's better to open up this kind of thing. Otherwise, hidden in the bottom of the heart, it will ferment, moldy, and become more and more unmanageable.

Qin Shubao was silent for a moment and was not in a hurry to make a statement. He just looked up at the sky with a more serious expression, stroked the gray beard and said, "Although my father got up and was born in a cold and humble life, with his own ability, now the official is the third grade is the Duke. The ancestors of the Qin family were all decent families with clean family style.

Qin Mubai nodded and sighed, "It seems that my father still cares about the identity of Wu Mei Niang, a businessman's child."

"Wrong. My father has never thought so. Qin Shubao said, "I care a little about the view of the official industry and commerce, but I don't value it as much as ordinary officials and doctors, because I am also from a poor family. A martial arts man also learns from others to compete for the first place, which is a vassal elegant and delicate.

"Why is the father..." Qin Mubai shook his head puzzledly.

"Do you still want to hide it from me now?" Qin Shubao turned his head and stared at Qin Mubai fiercely, "What's the matter with her and the King of Han?"

Sure enough, it's because of this!

"It turns out that my father knows everything. It started suddenly, and now it has been satisfactorily resolved. The child didn't want to tell you what made you angry and worried. But up to now, I'll tell you the original!" Therefore, Qin Mubai told the cause and effect of the matter.

After hearing this, Qin Shubao was neither angry nor angry, but said leisurely and calmly, "I'm innocent, and I'm guilty. Wu Mei Niang is a troublemaker. If you spend your whole life with her, you can't get peace.

"Thank you, Dad... I know that Dad said that these are all for my own good. However, Mei Niang is innocent, and she can't be blamed for this. We can't be unfair to her. Qin Mubai said.

"Like what happened to you and Princess Gaoyang, you can't slap a slap." Qin Shubao said, "Try to see, if Wu Mei Niang is a good woman who is not so public and high-profile, can such a thing happen? She not only likes publicity, but also can't wait to spread her reputation all over Chang'an City, so that all the men in Chang'an can cove her beauty. Sanlang, I know that you have always been confident and don't worry about things like red apricots coming out of the wall. However, there will be Li Yuanchang today, and there will be Wu Yuanchang and Zhang Yuanchang tomorrow. Thousands of prodigal sons are staring at your women... Do you think you are really comfortable? Can you live a peaceful life in the future?

"The root cause of this mistake is still me." Qin Mubai frowned and said, "At the beginning, I agreed and encouraged her to do business. And some of her current behaviors are also related to the strategies we have set before.

"I don't want to put any pressure on you, let alone put you in the middle. In a word, you can act on your own camera, and... you let her stop!" After Qin Shubao finished speaking, he cut his hands behind his back and left.

Qin Mubai was quiet for a moment and thought quietly. Obviously, my father was a little angry about this incident. If he hadn't been more open-up and generous, and if he were an ordinary housewife, I'm afraid he would have slapped the table and yelled for his daughter-in-law.

Speaking of which, it's all caused by Li Yuanchang's bastard! After such a long time, there are naturally many people in Chang'an who secretly covet the beauty of Wu Mei Niang. But only Li Yuanchang really dares to move.

In fact, Wu Mei Niang is still quite smart. She handed over the store to others to take care of it, and she temporarily left Chang'an to calm down this disturbance. I'm afraid that she also thought of the pressure of public opinion that she might face, right?

There's nothing I can do. Now it's such a patriarchal society. Men pick flowers and provoke grass, which is called romantic; women attract bees to attract butterflies, which is frivolous. Even if he is unintentionally targeted by some prodigal sons, he will still get the name of an ominous person.

"But no matter what, I would rather be single than marry Princess Gaoyang, the little devil! Even if my father suppresses this matter, I will not agree to it. Qin Mubai said to himself, "As for the matter of Wu Mei Niang... Although the relationship between me and her is not strong, there is more or less a tacit understanding. Just talk about it in the long.
