Chapter 175 The little daughter-in-law sees her parents-in-law

Before Xue Rengui returned, Qin Mubai sat in the Accord with Wu Meiniang for a while, enjoying listening to the music, eating refreshments and chatting.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Mei Niang, now your two brothers are very good! One is outside the master, who manages the first wine in the world; the other is inside, managing family affairs. As a sister, you can be a shopkeeper and play around.

"How can it be so easy!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Business is like sailing against the water. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Business can only get bigger and bigger. I don't have to take care of the first wine in the world, but there is more business waiting for me to take care of.

"When you said that, I really remembered it." Qin Mubai said, "Last time you did such a big thing in Jiangzhou, the court hasn't said anything to you yet!" Haha, although it is not extravagant to invest in peaches, businessmen never invest in vain. How about it? What benefits do you want?"

"Hey hey!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Last time, I mainly went to see you. I thought of disaster relief and comfort for the army on a whim, mostly to help you manage your reputation. However, if the emperor can give a little benefit, it would be better. Mu Bai, do you know why Zheng Fengchi and the Zheng family became the first giant businessman in Chang'an and the richest man in the Tang Dynasty?

"Of course I know. That's because since the Wude Dynasty, he has been closely connected with the court and is an official businessman. Qin Mubai said, "The Tang Dynasty carried out salt and iron court monopoly, but when it is implemented, merchants should also be designated as agents to operate the cuisine. The Zheng family took over the official salt sales right of the Tang Dynasty, and also engaged in the sale of silk cloth grain. This kind of business can't be done by ordinary people. First, the court does not allow it. Second, there is no support from the royal family and the court, and no one has that strength. What, do you want to follow Zheng Fengchi's example?

"I'm not that ambitious, and it's impossible to replace it. I just want to do better step by step. Wu Mei Niang said, "Now I don't expect to get the management rights of materials such as salt and iron silk cloth and grain horses, but if there is a plaque of 'Great Tang Dynasty righteous merchants', then my Wu's business will be worth a hundred times. It will have greater fame, credibility and appeal in the business world. This is more precious than rewarding me with a hundred gold, silver and ten thousand mu of good land.

"You are really smart. You are indeed a genius in business." Qin Mubai laughed and said, "This plaque is indeed better than thousands of gold and silver. Don't worry, when Qi Suiliang came to me to discuss whether to accept your donation, he vaguely mentioned the matter of 'Tang righteous merchants'. I believe that after he returns to the court, he will go to Zhangluo. Zhen Suiliang is a smart person who is the most self-serving person. He handled this matter. I believe he will do it with all his heart without us urging him.

"Hee hee, it's so good." Wu Mei Niang smiled happily and said, "I just like to deal with smart people. When I arrived in Jiangzhou, if I hadn't known that Chu Suiliang was temporarily the governor of Jiangzhou, I wouldn't have handed over the donation to him. Because I know that he is a close minister of the emperor like you. He bows his head and doesn't look up. Anyway, he has to sell you a little face. As soon as I send out this donation, I don't need to say that he will get what I want for me.

"Tut, who would say 'no profiteers, no merchants'? Mei Niang, you are really as treacherous as a fox!" Qin Mubai said.

"Fuck you! Is it easy for me to make some money? Wu Meiniang said, "I neither steal nor rob. What I do is reasonable business. I neither bribe nor steal opportunities. I am openly and earn clean money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are smart and capable, right?" Qin Mubai laughed.

"It's annoying!"

After a long time, Xue Ren came back, and it was almost lunch time.

After coming back, Xue Rengui went straight to the woodshed in the backyard, and no one called him. He took turns to split the firewood with an axe. There was a big pile of dry wood under the eaves next to the house. I heard from the servant of the world's first wine that it was all split by Xue Rengui this morning. In just half an hour, he cut out the firewood that needed more than half a day, which really scared some people.

Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang came to the backyard and saw Xue Rengui chop firewood with sweat. A short firewood knife was cut down, and the thick-legged wooden stick was neatly divided into two. Wu Mei Niang suddenly opened her eyes in terrified.

"I can't see that Brother Xue was born with a kind nature, and he was so born with divine power!"

"It's rare and strange." Qin Mubai walked over with a smile and called out, "Brother Xue!"

Xue Rengui quickly put down the firewood knife and bowed his hand and said, "General Qin, the big boss."

"Brother Xue doesn't have to be so raw. By the way, who asked you to chop wood here? It's really unreasonable! You are the guest I invited!" Wu Mei Niang shouted angrily.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "You don't have to be angry. No one asks you to chop wood. It's what you want. If you have nothing to do, it's better to help with something, just think of it as training.

Qin Mubai nodded with a smile on his face: "Brother Xue, clean up and go to the cold house for a drink today!"

"Do you dare to bother me?" Xue Rengui said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, come on!" Qin Mubai smiled casually and said, "It's rare to be free today, so I think of inviting Brother Xue to the house to talk about it. Now that he has come to Chang'an, how can Brother Xue not go to see his father?

"Father Qin Shubao?" Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and suddenly became interested.

"Exact" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "My father also wants to see Xue Rengui, Longmen, who is good at painting halberd by Fang Tian!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Now Xue Rengui said no more, and simply agreed with a neat fist.

Qin Mubai was happy in his heart and said secretly: Sure enough, my father is more attractive to him... Xue Rengui is a martial artist who pursues the peak, and my father is also a famous god of war, which is not surprising.

Xue Rengui went back to his room to clean up his clothes and makeup. Wu Mei Niang curled her lips and said, "I won't go. I'll stay here for a drink. I haven't been here for a long time."

"How can you not go?" Qin Mubai pretended to be stunned and said, "I mainly invite you today!"

"What? No way! Humph, hum, you think I don't know, you're doing it for Xue Rengui!" Wu Mei Niang lost her temper.

Qin Mubai smiled and whispered, "He is just one of them. You are the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, you haven't been to my house yet, have you? The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law. How can you not go to my house?

"Fuck you! Am I ugly?" Wu Meiniang should not be annoyed or happy, laughing and scolding.

"Then it's settled. Let's go together. Don't be naughty anymore." Qin Mubai laughed.

After a while, Xue Rengui packed up, and the three of them went to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Mubai told his parents earlier that he would have a banquet for several guests today, so the Qin family had already prepared a good banquet and was waiting for it.

Qin Shubao spent his whole life, taking pleasure in challenging masters and martial artists. In the early years, but when the charge fell into battle, if there were fierce generals in the enemy camp to show off their power, Li Shimin sent Qin Shubao to ride forward to kill the enemy generals. Qin Shubao often does not humiliate his mission. It is really not easy to take the head of the enemy general in the army. But if you meet an opponent who can compete with him, you must defeat him with your own hands to feel at ease.

This is the heart of a martial artist who strives to be strong and pursues the ultimate peak, which has been silent for several years. Yesterday, when Qin Mubai heard about Xue Rengui, Qin Shubao felt that his blood was boiling again.

He is looking forward to Qin Mubai bringing Xue Rengui!

Qin Mubai and other three people entered the house. Qin Shubao, who sat in the main hall and closed his eyes, opened his eyes and showed his light!

Far away, he looked at Xue Rengui up and down clearly.

Maybe the same type of people have a special attraction to each other. Xue Rengui also saw Qin Shubao in the hall for the first time.

The eyes of the two looked at each other in the air, and there seemed to be electric flashing in the air.

"Born warrior!" Both of them had such a first impression of their opponents at the same time!

As a first-class martial artist at the top, he has a temperament that is not angry and powerful, and has a dark evil spirit. In contrast, Qin Shubao, who has countless bloody battles, is more unrestrained and domineering, while Xue Rengui is a little low-key, calm and restrained.

Three people enter the hall and salute first.

"Dad, this is Longmen Xue Rengui." Qin Mubai introduced it first.

Xue Rengui took a step forward, lowered his eyebrows and bowed his fist: "I'm next Xue Li, I'd like to see General Qin, the Duke of Yi!"

"You don't have to be so polite. He is my son's good friend and a guest in the hall. Qin Shubao nodded with a smile, "Rengui, I heard Sanlang praise you several times, saying that you have reached the peak of martial arts, and I'm looking forward to it."

"I dare not. It was General Qin who praised it. In front of the Duke of Yi, who dares to mention the four words of the peak warrior? Xue Rengui humbly hugged his fist and said.

"Haha, don't be too modest. You can sit down first, and we'll talk about it later. Qin Shubao smiled and said, "Mu Bai, who is this woman?"

Qin Mubai hurriedly said, "Father, this is... Wu Mei Niang."

"Wu Zhao paid a visit to the Duke of Yi." At the first meeting, Wu Mei Niang did not dare to be vague. She hurriedly fell to the ground and made a big salute.

"Oh, it's Mei Niang!" Seeing her polite salute, Qin Shubao nodded with a little satisfaction, "Okay, you don't have to salute so much. Get up!"

"Duke Xie Yi." Wu Mei Niang got up and stood aside with her hands down, blushing. It seems that when she came to the Qin family for the first time, she was still a little nervous.

At this time, I don't know who told the news to Liu and Qin Shuanger early. When they heard that Qin Mubai finally took Wu Mei Niang to the house, they immediately burned the woman's gossip soul and ran to the front hall with a smile.

Wu Mei Niang's face turned redder and hurriedly gave Liu a big gift.

"Oh, get up." Liu hurried forward to help Wu Mei Niang in person, took her hand and looked at her carefully. She said with great joy, "Look, she is really a fairy!" Mei Niang, why did your mother make you so beautiful and clever? I'm so happy!"

"Cluck!" Qin Shuanger laughed and said, "Mother, look so excited, don't scare Mei Niang! Mei Niang... Uh-huh, you are my brother's wife. Although I am a little older than you, I still have to call you Sister Mei? Sister Mei, let's go to the back house to talk. Here, it's the world of their men, so we won't like this hustle and bustle!"

"Thank you, little sister!" Wu Mei Niang was really relieved and was happy to leave the lobby with her. In the face of Qin Shubao, who is exposed by Hu Wei, even if he is a fierce man, he will feel uncomfortable all over. Don't mention her little daughter-in-law who has passed the house for the first time.

So, Liu Shi and Qin Shuanger pulled Wu Mei Niang's hand left and right and pulled her away with a smile.

Qin Mubai thought to himself: What will my mother say to Wu Mei Niang? She won't deliberately pay attention to the size of her buttocks. It seems that she cares about this the most...

"Mu Bai, why are you still stunned? Sit down with Rengui quickly." Qin Shubao said, "Come on, let's have a banquet!"
