Chapter 157 Wise Assistant
Wu Mei Niang entered the cave and didn't come out for a long time. Naturally, Xue Rengui could not go back to ask or find out, so he had to stand patiently in the courtyard and chat with Qin Mubai. Other attendants stood outside the courtyard to take care of the horses.
"How's Brother Xue doing recently?" Qin Mubai asked.
"To the general Hongfu, everything is fine." Xue Rengui smiled and replied politely.
The glory of his ancestors, the hardships he experienced since he was a child, and the current embarrassment life, not only urged Xue Rengui to be diligent, but also made him develop a restrained, calm, favorable and disgraceful personality.
"Brother Xue is out of the way to talk like this." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You and I are in the same generation, only in terms of age, regardless of origin. He was born in the Wang clan, but he is not as good as a martial arts talent as Brother Xue. Brother Xue Qianlong has great ambition in the abyss, and his daily achievements must be above Qin.
"The general made fun of it. Xue Yijie's clothes are secretly alive. Do you have great ambition?" Xue Rengui laughed at himself and said, "What I think every day is that I can shoot a few more wild geese for money and exchange some oil and rice to feed my wife and children."
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is your sister-in-law pregnant?"
"The general is kind and careful, that's right."
"Congratulations, Brother Xue is about to be the father of people!" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "For a man, becoming a father is a completely different life. Brother Xue will definitely be transported in the future and live a lively life.
"I dare not hope so much. I just hope that my family is safe. Xue Rengui showed a warm and satisfied smile and said, "Although a family is poor, he is a man who is not a traitor, and he is the daughter of remarry. If the ancestors accumulate virtue and protect the inheritance of my Xue family, I will be satisfied.
Qin Mubai nodded and smiled and thought to himself: This is obviously not Xue Rengui's heart. He is vaguely revealing to me that he has no intention of being an official again. He was cautious. I haven't spoken yet, but he came to seal my mouth in advance. I'm in a hurry to eat hot tofu. I won't mention it. Let's see how you do... Let's see what happened to Wu Mei Niang later.
"Yes, peace is the greatest blessing." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Even if you are sitting in a golden mountain or an extreme minister, it is not as safe as it is. Brother Xue has already realized the true meaning of life.
"Ha ha, I'm laughing." Xue Rengui chatted a little and glanced at the cave from time to time.
Qin Mubai knew what he meant. After all, he let a strange woman into the house and was alone with his pregnant wife. It was inevitable that he was a little worried. So he called out, "Mei Niang, we're leaving!"
"Why is the general in a hurry to leave? If you don't like it, you can sit in the humble house for a while and taste a pot of goose stew. Today, I also beat a fat tweizi, and I can also bake it with wine. Seeing that Qin Mubai was aware of his thoughts, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed and hurriedly left the guests.
"My sister-in-law is pregnant. Do I dare to bother you?" Qin Mubai said, "I just came to hunt. On the way, I thought of Brother Xue, so I visited him. If there is any trouble, please forgive me.
Xue Rengui was a little surprised. He thought that Qin Mubai would come again. It must be the old story that he was asked to be an official. Unexpectedly, he was just in a hurry... As before, he seemed to be a little affectionate.
As he spoke, Wu Mei Niang and Liu Shi came out together. Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui couldn't help but be neat and stunned - why are these two still holding hands, like a pair of good sisters? It's been a long time since we met!
"Brother Xue, Mu Bai, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." Wu Mei Niang said with a smile, "Don't mind, Brother Xue, your wife can't lose it, hee hee!"
"The girl is joking." Xue Rengui's face turned red and he had to smile awkwardly. For a while, he was still a little shy.
"Sister Liu, don't forget!" Wu Meiniang smiled mysteriously at Liu Shi, as if she was still a little reluctant to take her hand and said, "I will always wait for you in Jishan County!"
"Miss Wu, don't worry, I will definitely not miss the appointment." Liu smiled gratefully and nodded to Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai smiled and nodded as a return gift. He hugged Xue Rengui and said, "Farewell, Brother Xue."
"It's easy to go." Xue Rengui held his fist and saluted, and he was surprised: For a while, what did the little girl say to my wife? There seemed to be some agreement between the two? Strange...
"Hee hee, goodbye! ...Let's go, Mu Bai!" After saying that, Wu Mei Niang let go of Liu's hand and walked to Qin Mubai's side. Naturally, she took Qin Mubai's elbow with a little pride.
"Okay, let's go." The two walked side by side and rode their horses out of the courtyard. Wu Mei Niang was still shouting immediately, "I'm leaving, Sister Liu! Remember I'll wait for you!"
"It must be decided. The girl is easy to leave. Take care of yourself!" Liu Shi went to the door of the courtyard and waved his hand. He reluctantly sent Qin Mubai and several people to disappear at the corner of the village path.
"Well, what did you say to that little girl?" Xue Rengui finally couldn't help asking.
"Come into the house with me and talk to you in detail!" Liu was very excited and excited, and took Xue Rengui into the house.
On the other side, Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang walked side by side, laughing loudly.
"Haha, Mei Niang, you are so talented!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Why did you think of inviting Liu to Chang'an? This is simply the art of war to capture the king and the bottom of the pot!"
"Hee hee! This is called taking the right medicine. How can business people not understand this? Wu Meiniang said proudly, "If you want to make money, you have to know what they need first. It's the same as a lobbyist. I inquired about the current situation of their family and learned that Liu was pregnant and lived in embarrasssment. Just imagine, even if Xue Rengui can endure poverty and Liu has no regrets, how can they have the heart to let the children who are about to be born suffer? Parents' hearts are usually like this! So I took the right medicine and persuaded her to come out and do something. I provided convenience. If they can easily support their family, it is simply a common meal for them. Xue Renguiqing is arrogant and doesn't want to give in to you, so Liu Shi doesn't think so. She is a kind and sincere person. If I give her some favors, she will repay me with gratitude. Although the kindness is not expected to be retribution, it is also a good intention to persuade them to come to Chang'an, isn't it?"
"It's true." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I really underestimated you before. I can manage the world's first wine so well that there is no disadvantage in the shopping mall. You really have something outstanding. Mei Niang, Mei Niang, I can't bear to throw you aside in the future. You are not only my future wife, but also my think tank, little Zhuge!"
"Hey hey, you're happy that things haven't been done yet." Having said that, Wu Mei Niang's happiness was beyond words. She said, "Now I'm just waiting for Liu to convince Xue Rengui. Looking at the situation, it seems that it is not a big problem. Mu Bai, I advise you not to be in a hurry to let Xue Rengui agree to become an official immediately. Let's do it step by step. Sett down the Liu family first, and don't worry about Xue Rengui coming. As long as Xue Rengui comes to Chang'an, there will be a great opportunity to play with you. As long as we move with reason and love, and then feel sincere, Xue Rengui will understand it sooner or later and be happy to follow you.
"It's not to follow, it's to fight side by side." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I don't know how many people dream of joining in my current status and the influence of Baiqi in the army court. If I only need an attendants, why should I take so much effort? Xue Rengui is indeed a rare talent. But I can only lead him on the road, and it's up to him in the future. Of course, the best situation is that I can have a confidant in the future. Xue Rengui, who is low-key, steady and sincere, is a friend worth making.
"Liu is also good. He is a kind person. Both of them are worth making friends. Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Mu Bai, I can see that you are a little thirsty now. Is it that you have been an official for a long time without help, and you feel very lonely?
"A little." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "A lot of things have happened in the past six months, and I'm overwhelmed one after another. Whenever I face trouble, I face it alone. Although there is no fear, after more times, you will always feel a little tired. And I have to do everything myself, all of which is quite annoying. Take the last time, about Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, as an example, I was exhausted in the harem at that time. I wanted to find someone worth trust to help you or comfort you, but I didn't. Since then, I've been thinking, how nice it would be if I had a good brother who could help.
"How about your eldest brother and second brother...?" Wu Meiniang said, "They often go to the world's first wine for two drinks. I also have some contact, but they don't know each other well."
"They are all very good, but their abilities are also limited. Moreover, the Qin family has strict rules. My father has always strictly asked us not to rely on the power of the family to be arrogant and domineering outside. Therefore, my two brothers are usually very low-key and cautious. They are all people who take a step back and are indisputable. Qin Mubai sighed softly, "It's okay to run a family business with them, but you can't expect them to help at a critical time. In fact, after my father retired from the temple due to illness, the Qin family was also on the road of decline, which was not as good as before. If it hadn't been for the fact that I wanted to listen to my pipa, the emperor would have not been at the door of my Qin family for three or five years.
"That's it... In this way, if the Qin family wants to be big now, they have to rely on you? That's so tiring!" Wu Mei Niang frowned worriedly and said.
"Haha, men should be a little responsible. It doesn't matter if you are hard, as long as you achieve something." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite lucky, and I've always been satisfied. Compared with Xue Rengui, I'm more than a hundred times stronger, right? In addition, the charming woman in my family is not comparable to that of ordinary women! In the future, you will be a helper who is unmatched."
"Hee hee, I didn't expect you to learn to flatter!"
"How can there be an official who doesn't flatter?"
"Oh, I like it. Keep shooting!" Wu Mei Niang laughed happily.
"Okay, I'll shoot!" Qin Mubai laughed and slapped the buttocks of Wu Mei Niang's horse. The horse was shocked and ran away.
"Mubai, you big bad guy, I won't bite you later!"
The lingering sound curled, and Wu Mei Niang rushed forward. Qin Mubai and others laughed and chased after them. Several people hurriedly set foot in Xue Rengui's house, and then went to the mountains to hunt.
