Chapter 159 Gentle Knife
Along the way, Qin Mubai muttered: I don't know how jealous Wu Mei Niang is. What would she feel if she saw Chen Yan? However, since I dare to bring her here blatantly, it proves that I must be innocent with her. Presumably, such a smart person as Wu Mei Niang should be able to think of this level, which will not embarrass me in front of my friends.
When the two arrived at the villa, there was a close maidservant of Wu Mei Niang at the gate of the village. From afar, they saw Qin Mubai riding forward, so they clapped their hands and laughed happily and rushed into the room: "Come on! Uncle General is coming!"
Qin Mubai's face was embarrassed, and Chen Yan giggled: "The nickname they gave you is really interesting."
"Don't make fun of me. Let's get off the horse."
"Qin Mubai, do you think if Wu sees me coming with you, will he be angry about it?" Chen Yan seemed to have a bad smile.
"Don't worry, it won't be." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "She is not that kind of person."
"If she is that kind of person, she is definitely not worthy of you."
"Why?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "A man like you is destined to be romantic for a lifetime. There can't be only one woman around you. If a narrow-minded and calculating woman is your wife, there will be no peace in the family. If the wife is not virtuous, the husband is not in trouble. It is true.
"Oh, you are honest." Qin Mubai couldn't help nodding and praising deeply, "You understand men too much! A woman like you is simply a man's confidant and gospel!"
"Don't say that." Chen Yan snorted, as if she was sneering, "I just saw too much, and I'm not surprised to accept this fact. The world is unfair. Men can spend a lot of time outside in groups with their wives and concubines at home, but women can only take care of their husbands or stay alone in empty rooms. In fact, which woman is willing to share her man with other women? Which woman really doesn't want her man and only loves herself all her life? Love is selfish. Unless you don't love him, you can let him fool around.
"It hit the nail on the head." Qin Mubai nodded, "What you say is always so enlightening."
"So, there are more and more women like Empress Changsun in the world." Chen Yan said, "Because they all chose to be a smart woman after struggling, pain, sadness and helplessness. Instead of not being able to change the situation of multiple wives and concubines for men, it is better to accept them wisely, or even take the initiative to help men marry concubines. In fact, do you know how sad women like Empress Changsun are when doing this kind of thing? If they don't say it, it doesn't mean that they really don't mind not suffering.
"To tell the truth. The disadvantage of you is that you like to tell the truth too much. Qin Mubai laughed twice and said, "Okay, don't tell this kind of truth too much, especially Wu Mei Niang."
"Don't worry, I dare not ruin your good deeds."
After the two handed over the horses to the handyman in the villa, they went to the courtyard where Wu Mei Niang lived. After walking through the corridor for a while, I saw Wu Mei Niang and her sisters trotting towards me.
Wu Mei Niang looked happy and surprised, and she couldn't help but come to meet Qin Mubai in a hurry. But when he saw him coming with a woman in black with a sword, he couldn't help but be stunned and stopped.
"Oh, owner, why is there a woman following the uncle and the general? Just now, the maidservant's eyes were clumsy, and she glanced at it and didn't see it clearly! ......”
"Xiaomin, you are so stupid. You can't see such things clearly. Now it's embarrassing for the owner!"
"Don't make any noise." Wu Mei Niang raised her hand to stop the quarrel between the maidservant behind her. Zhan Yan smiled and took a few steps forward and said pleasantly, "Mu Bai, you're here. Is this your friend? Why don't you introduce him to me?
Before Qin Mubai could speak, Chen Yan stepped forward and looked at Wu Mei Niang from head to toe, and said bluntly, "My name is Chen Yan. You are Wu Mei Niang, right? Sure enough, she is a beautiful woman who is beautiful and knowledgeable. It's better to see her than to hear it.
"My sister is also beautiful, with a more valiant and heroic posture than Mei Niang." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I heard Mu Bai mention you. You're amazing!"
"Real?" Chen Yan turned her head and looked at Qin Mubai. She couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that he really tells you everything."
"This should be the case between husband and wife! Hee hee!" Wu Mei Niang also smiled proudly.
Qin Mubai stood aside, with a little drumming in his heart.
These two women are fighting in secret!
Although their words and expressions are gentle and polite, and their expressions are like greetings from friends who have not been seen for many years, the undercurrent is vaguely turbulent, and the suspicion of jealousy is very big!
I can't help it. Who let the natural enemy of a beautiful woman be a beautiful woman?
Wu Mei Niang saw Chen Yan coming all the way with me and ruined my date with her world. It must be fake to say happy in her heart. Chen Yan... Although I have never mentioned the relationship between me and her, this woman regards me as her good friend and even cares more about me as a friend than herself. It seems that anyone around me is interested in commenting on it, which feels a little like my mother.
Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is almost a natural enemy...
At this moment, the maidservants behind Wu Mei Niang also looked at Chen Yan with great vigilance. Chen Yan chatted with Wu Mei Niang for a few words and couldn't help laughing: "Several girls don't have to stare at me so much. Your uncle and your uncle, General, are just friends, and they will not be your master's rivals."
"Uh? ..." Everyone, including Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang, was stunned - this woman spoke too directly!
Qin Mubai laughed dryly: "Chen Yan is a chivalrous woman. She speaks like her sword. She goes straight and strives to hit her, and never drags."
"My sister is really a cheerful person, which is admirable!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Quick, they all said to stand here and talk. Mu Bai, the wine has been prepared in the oven and the water has been warmed up. Let's invite Sister Yan to have dinner with you!"
"Good." Qin Mubai nodded, "Sister Yan, please."
"I dare not do it." Chen Yan giggled and said, "General Qin, how can you call me a sister? Isn't it the daughter of me, a grassroots man?"
"Hee hee, sister, leave him alone. Let's go first!" Wu Mei Niang smiled, took Chen Yan's elbow and pulled her forward and said, "You are not only Mu Bai's good friend, but also my good friend. If you get along well with each other, you will be more intimate than your brothers and sisters. My sister is fine. In my opinion, Mu Bai is still short of a sister to take care of her!"
Awesome!
These two words jumped out of Qin Mubai's heart - Wu Mei Niang is so awesome!
It's just two understated sentences, which pushed Chen Yan to the height of "sister". Naturally, there is nothing ambiguous about the elder sister and brother. What's more, she is so tolerant and generous that she is really like a hostess, and her politeness to my friends has given me face.
On such a table, even if Chen Yan has any thoughts about me in her heart, how can she let it develop?
With a gentle knife, Wu Mei Niang seemed to be relaxed, cutting off the "possibility" between me and Chen Yan!
Qin Mubai sighed secretly that Wu Mei Niang is really a smart woman. First of all, she did not be jealous when she saw Chen Yan blowing her beard and staring endlessly like that kind of vulgar jealous woman, nor did she pretend that she didn't care about the depression to force her smile on her chest. Instead, she first put on a high posture of a hostess, as if she was announcing to Chen Yan with "established facts" - I was already Qin Mubai's wife. Son, if you come, you can be a concubine at most! If you are just his good friend, you are my sister!
What a smart woman!
Maybe Wu Mei Niang will not quarrel with me because of my entanglement with other women in her life. She has her own solution, full of wisdom and understanding.
If women are born politicians, then Wu Mei Niang is undoubtedly a genius and leader!
......
Wu Mei Niang walked in front of Chen Yan, chatting and laughing from time to time, which seemed to be extremely harmonious and hateful. When the group went to the backyard rented by Wu Mei Niang, they saw that a barbecue table had already been set up with porcelain stones, and a cut hunting meat had already been placed on the chopping board. However, it should be enough for all those who need to use seasonings, briquettes, and charcoal fire. Two pots of the world-famous Qin Xian royal wine were warmed on the small stove on one side, and a circle of small cups and a couch were placed on the side of the baking table, which was extremely tidy.
"Sister, please sit down." Wu Mei Niang first invited Chen Yan to sit down, then came forward and smiled. She took Qin Mubai's hand and let him sit with her. She said, "Mu Bai, I'm not good at drinking. You have to treat Sister Yan well!"
"I don't bother. I never drink." Chen Yan smiled.
Qin Mubai thought for a moment and nodded: "It's true. I've never seen you drink."
"Sister Yan, this is Qin Xian wine brewed with the secret method created by Mu Bai, and it has been given as imperial wine by the emperor. Why don't you try it?" Wu Meiniang said.
"Oh, is this the world-famous Qin Xianjiu?" Chen Yan smiled slightly, "Since Mei Niang is so kind and a rare good wine, I will open the ring and have a drink with you."
"Hee hee, Sister Yan is really cheerful! I like to get along with refreshing people the most!" Wu Mei Niang smiled happily, but held Qin Mubai's elbow tighter in her hand.
Qin Mubai has been silent, and there has been almost a black line on his forehead, feeling very embarrassed. This Wu Mei Niang deliberately "showed her love" in front of Chen Yan, but Chen Yan was patient and deliberately turned a blind eye... These two women were consumed!
Those maidservants had already dressed up the hunting meat and slowly roasted them on the fire. The meat is fragrant and the charcoal stove is warm, the royal wine has been warm, and the mellow fragrance begins to overflow.
"Hee hee, this meat is delicious and fun to roast it yourself." Wu Meiniang said first, pulled Qin Mubai to get up, and hummed, "Mubai, good boy, I want to eat your roast meat!"
"Good boy? ..." Qin Mubai grinned at the corners of his mouth with embarrassment, and he had to get up with a few laughter. He came forward and picked up a skewer to roast it and said, "Okay, I'll bake a skewer for you."
"Stupid." Chen Yan smiled and said, "Of course, the meat you roasted can only be eaten by Mei Niang."
"Hee hee, Sister Yan said it very well, Mu Bai, you are stupid!" Wu Mei Niang giggled and slapped herself, "Sister Yan, wait, I'll bake for you. Mu Bai is stupid, and his craftsmanship must be very poor. I'll make a barbecue for you!"
"Oi, I'll wait." Chen Yan smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Qin Mubai looked back at Chen Yan with tears and laughter, but saw that she was still as calm as before, smiling at herself with a trace of joking.
"Oh, women's fighting methods are really full of wisdom! At this time, their IQ is chasing Einstein, right? Qin Mubai sighed repeatedly in his heart.
......
After eating a barbecue for an hour, it was already night.
Chen Yan said goodbye and was about to leave. Holding the sword, she arched her hand to Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang: "I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you don't really hate me in your heart. Today's barbecue is really good. Mei Niang, you are really ingenious and versatile. It's a great blessing for Mu Bai to marry you.
"Hey hey, Sister Xie Yan praised! If you like it, you might as well come to find a girl often, and I will bake it for you again. Wu Mei Niang replied generously and said with a smile.
"Okay, I will." Chen Yan smiled and said, "Arewell."
"Wait." Wu Mei Niang shouted hurriedly, "Mu Bai, it's getting late and you should go back to the barracks. Why don't you give your sister a ride?"
"It's good." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Yan, let's go?"
Chen Yan looked at Qin Mubai, smiled meaningfully and with a funny smile, and nodded, "It's okay."
"Then you can go! Mu Bai, come early tomorrow! Sister Yan, if you have something to do, you will come here to me. I will stay here for a long time!" Wu Mei Niang smiled like a flower.
"Hmm." Both of them answered and walked out of the village.
Wu Mei Niang waved her hand to see them off. She just turned the corner. The housekeepers and maidservants around her were anxious and hurriedly said, "Master, why did you take the initiative to let your uncle and general go with that woman?" This lonely man and woman in the middle of the night..."
"Because I trust him!" Wu Mei Niang raised her face proudly and smiled easily. She went back to her room.
Out of the villa, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan got on the horse, looked at each other and smiled, patted the horse forward.
"Mu Bai, please cherish it." Chen Yan suddenly said, "Mei Niang is a good woman. If you can marry her, it will be of great benefit to your future.
"How to say this?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Because she is smart enough, she is worthy of you in terms of appearance and intelligence. More importantly, she cares about you very much.
