Chapter 160 Back to Chang'an
At the corner of the mountain road in front of Juntun, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan stopped the horse.
"Let's say goodbye." Chen Yan said, "I will live in the small village where Zhu Chengwen's grave is located for a period of time, and then continue to wander around the world."
"Didn't you say we would go to Chang'an together?" Qin Mubai said.
Chen Yan frowned slightly: "Is it really convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Ha ha!" Chen Yan smiled and said, "Didn't you feel that Wu Mei Niang was quite wary of me? In order not to embarrass you two and affect the relationship between you, I'd better not go the same way with you.
"What is this?" Qin Mubai said, "We are friends. Doesn't it mean that we really have a problem if you avoid it like this? Don't think too much, go to Chang'an! You are a girl. What kind of world do you have? Don't I look down on you and live a peaceful and comfortable life?
"Girl's family?" Chen Yanran smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's cheap. I'm used to this kind of life. It's a different taste to go south and north to eat.
"That's because you haven't tried another life." Qin Mubai said.
"Maybe..." Chen Yan nodded silently.
"Stop it. I will leave for Chang'an in half a month. I hope I can have you with me at that time." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Actually, you and Mei Niang are also quite close. You are all smart and have complementary personalities. Believe me, you won't affect me at all."
"Okay, let's talk about it then." Chen Yan clenched her fist and said, "Arewell!"
"It's easy to go."
As soon as she rode the dust, Chen Yan disappeared into the night.
Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile. She is really a strong woman. In fact, her heart is gentler than anyone else.
Happy days always pass quickly, and a few days pass in a flash.
These days are really like a honeymoon.
There are fewer and fewer things in the barracks. Because it is disaster relief, the government soldiers even save daily training and eat and sleep in the barracks. Qin Mubai, the acting captain, is too lazy to care about them. Anyway, it's not his own father-in-law. He will be handed over in two days. He doesn't need to pay much attention. If he doesn't make trouble, everything will be fine.
Therefore, after he arranged the set things every day, the rest was to eat, drink and play with Wu Mei Niang.
The relationship between the two deepens a thousand miles a day.
At this time, Qin Mubai found that he and Wu Mei Niang could get along so well.
Qin Mubai has always liked smart people. Whether it is a man or a woman, a friend or an enemy, he likes to be smarter.
And Wu Mei Niang is a very smart woman.
Her cleverness is not reflected in eccentricity and conspiracy, but in a kind of great wisdom!
The person who can be the queen is really not so simple. God has given her too many things, and the best thing is wisdom.
Take Chen Yan as an example. Wu Mei Niang is obviously jealous and nervous, but she can make everyone get off the stage. She gives Qin Mubai enough face to the public at present, and also uses her tolerance and generosity to make Chen Yan retreat without fighting.
On the other hand, if Wu Mei Niang is stingy and aggressive to Chen Yan, with Chen Yan's personality, she may really compete with her head-on.
This approach of retreating to progress and convincing people with virtue is easy to say, but not every woman can do it. After all, in the face of their rivals, out of human instinct, everyone will be jealous of the inappropriate behavior of burning in the fire. Being able to react in a very short time and come up with a suitable strategy is enough to see how mindful and clever Wu Mei Niang is.
After that, Wu Mei Niang did not mention Chen Yan again. Even if the two chatted inadvertently, Wu Mei Niang only regarded her as a friend and never asked Qin Mubai if she was in love with her.
A woman who can make a man feel trusted and dependent with her, relaxed and happy without stress is a woman that a man can't live without.
Wu Mei Niang did it like this.
These days can be said to be the most relaxing and comfortable days for Qin Mubai to come to the Tang Dynasty. Every day, I left the barracks to meet Wu Mei Niang, traveled the mountains and rivers with her to enjoy the scenery and shop. I also went out with her to negotiate business twice and gave some poor people.
The charm of Wu Mei Niang has been magnified again in these things. Many people saw her for the first time, but were attracted by her outstanding appearance and noble temperament. After getting along with each other, I found that this woman was so charming. She is smart, wise, kind and amiable, shrewd, capable and enterprising.
When beauty and wisdom are integrated, coupled with kindness and diligence, will there be any men in the world who are not fascinated by such women?
The more they get along, the more Qin Mubai is a little fascinated by Wu Mei Niang. I have been grateful in my heart that I was accompanied by such a beautiful woman in a million. If there is a woman like this, what does the husband want?
During this period of time, there has been more tacit understanding between Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang. From time to time, you can understand the other party's intention with a small look and a small action. Qin Mubai has rarely had this kind of feeling of empathy, especially for women.
Even if she is not the best lover, Wu Mei Niang is at least Qin Mubai's best confidant.
What else is there to be picky about when a lover and a confidant are one?
And Wu Mei Niang's feelings for Qin Mubai are the same.
The relationship between the two is like the temperature of the fire in July, rising rapidly.
In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month.
The weather in the north is dry, cold and snowy, and the first heavy snow this year has come down.
Under the deployment arrangement of Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang, the task of disaster relief and comforting the people was successfully completed. Before the first heavy snowfall, all the disaster relief supplies were in place, and tens of thousands of new houses were built for the victims to live in. There was no frostbite or riot of the victims.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the emperor and the court were also sympathetic to the ministers. The imperial edict stepped on the first snowflakes and flew to Qin Mubai's Chinese army account.
Emperor Xuan, Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang returned to the pilgrimage. The military and political affairs of Jiangzhou are all taken over by the newly appointed assassin and the captain. The new official and the imperial edict arrive at the same time and can be handed over immediately.
The news came out with cheers.
After all, these soldiers have been out for almost half a year. Who is not like an arrow?
Qin Mubai also took a long breath and felt relaxed.
Finally, I can go home!
At present, Qin Mubai handed over his military affairs with the new captain of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
No official is light. He left the military village, which had lived for half a year, after a celebration banquet with 100 hundred knights who came with him.
When he left, Qin Mubai really missed it a little. After all, I have been here for half a year, and every plant and every tree is so familiar. I also made a lot of friends in the army. They were all bloody men, and they were a little reluctant to give up with each other.
Hearing that the army was about to withdraw, the residents of Jishan County, who had received great favors, sent them off. On a snowy day, many people burned incense and knelt down to worship, and the momentum was quite loud. Qin Mubai and others begged bitterly, but finally they could not persuade these residents. He had to leave Jishan County with the farewell of the residents.
The heavy snow blocked the road, and I couldn't rush on the road for a while. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to rush back to Chang'an, so Qin Mubai pulled the 100-person team to the villa where Wu Mei Niang lived. The villa is very large, and there is no problem for these people to live in. They just avoid the heavy snow before leaving.
Wu Mei Niang was also very happy to learn the news that she could return to Chang'an. She has been away from Chang'an for a longer time than Qin Mubai. She misses it and the first wine in the world. She hasn't taken care of it for a long time. Immediately, Wu Mei Niang immediately sent someone to Wenshui's hometown in Bingzhou to invite her mother Yang to return to Chang'an together.
After the nightfall, Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang roasted the fire and warmed the wine. They listened to the little maid beside her playing the guzheng and enjoyed the sweet time.
"Mu Bai, I'm going back to Chang'an tomorrow! I'm both happy and sad, you know? Wu Meiniang said.
"I'm happy. What's wrong with you?" Qin Mubai asked.
"You are so stupid!" This almost became Wu Mei Niang's mantra. She giggled and said, "When you go back to Chang'an, aren't you going back to the palace to work? Don't you have so much time to accompany me?"
"Cough!" Qin Mubai coughed gently and said seriously, "If the two love lasts for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"
"Huh? ...If the two love are for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening? Good sentence, good sentence!" Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and praised, "I see you often make a sentence or two like this. It's quite brilliant!" But why don't you write some poems formally?
"I'm a martial arts soldier. What poems do I make? I have become so famous. Do I still need to rely on poetry to get fame? Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm not ashamed." Wu Mei Niang pinched Qin Mubai's nose, and her body softened. She simply lay in his arms and put her head on his thigh. With a bad smile, she reached out and touched his belly and said, "What would you look like if you were pregnant in July? Gee! The general with a big belly must be very funny!"
"You are so imaginative!" Qin Mubai was amused and touched her little face and pinched it gently. "What's the matter? Can't you wait to have a son for me?"
"You are bad!" Wu Mei Niang blushed with shame and grabbed his belly angrly.
The maidservant who served and played Guzheng couldn't help laughing. Wu Mei Niang was ashamed and embarrassed. She scolded, "You damn girls, don't laugh!"
"Son, let's step down, baa!" These maidservants all laughed. They are all Wu Mei Niang's confidants, and they are also her best friends and sisters. There is no need to avoid anything.
"No retreat!" Wu Mei Niang shouted loudly to hide her embarrassment, "Play the song and warm the wine, but don't glance at this side, and don't listen to your ears!"
"You are too domineering." Qin Mubai smiled.
"I just want it!" Wu Mei Niang smiled warmly and a little strangely. She put one hand around Qin Mubai's waist and stroked his strong back, and the other hand held Qin Mubai's hand against her face. She closed her eyes and hummed, "It's so warm and comfortable. I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me, let alone... make a bad idea."
"Do you really want me to become Liu Xiahui? Hold it like this, and I will do bad things." Qin Mubai laughed badly.
"No, no!" Wu Mei Niang twisted her body shyly and giggled, "You are not allowed to do anything to me until you get married!"
"If I do something to you, what are you going to do to me?" Qin Mubai laughed and said a tongue twister to her.
"Then I will... I... I'll just... think..." Wu Mei Niang turned her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly giggled, "I didn't expect it. I'll tell you when I think of it!"
Qin Mubai laughed and was in a good mood.
"Finally, I'm going back to Chang'an!"
