Chapter 178 The Lively Qin Mansion

At the gate of Qinfu, Li Ke got out of the car first and waved to Princess Gaoyang inside: "Come down, it's you who are coming. Why don't you want to get out of the car now?"

Princess Gaoyang was still huddled in the car, glanking at Qin's house, patted her chest and said, "Third brother, I, I, I, I'm a little nervous!"

"What's the nervousness?" Li Ke smiled badly, "Are you afraid to see your future parents-in-law?"

"I, I, I... I heard that Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yi, was very fierce. When he charged into the battle, he was known as a ten thousand enemies, and killing people were frightening. He must have a face like the blood of a Rasha lion, and a word can also shock the ears of the deaf!" Princess Gaoyang said timidly.

Li Ke knew that she was looking for an excuse. As a princess, how could she be afraid of a minister? She is nothing more than the little daughter-in-law's psychology when she sees her parents-in-law, afraid that Qin Mubai's parents don't like her.

"All the nonsense!" Li Ke reprimanded, "General Qin Shubao's handsome man was a famous man. Besides, how do you think Qin Mubai looks? Everyone knows that he looks very similar to Qin Shubao.

"I, I, I... I'm still nervous!" Princess Gaoyang swallowed her saliva and still refused to come down from the car.

"You come down!" Li Ke was impatient and rushed to the car to pick her up and put her directly on the ground.

"Third brother, you bad guy, put me down!" Princess Gaoyang shouted in shame.

As they were making a noise, Qin Mubai appeared at the gate and looked at the pair of living brothers and sisters and laughed: "Your Highnesses, what are you playing in public?"

"Ah, you still have something to say!" As soon as Princess Gaoyang saw Qin Mubai, she got angry and rushed forward aggressively. She said angrily, "Why do you hide from me all day long?"

"I didn't hide from you. Why did you hide?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Then you... then you..." Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ok, stop nagging." Li Ke came forward and slapped Princess Gao Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mu Bai finally got a holiday. It's also appropriate to accompany his parents at home. Is it a business to accompany you all day?"

"What does it mean tossing around!" Princess Gaoyang raised her mouth angrily and protested repeatedly.

Li Ke glanced inside the Qin Mansion and said in surprise, "Mu Bai, it seems that there are guests in the Qin Mansion today?"

"Not bad. My father's old friend, Duke Lu, Cheng Zhijie, and his third son, Cheng Huaibi, came to visit, and there was also a friend of mine. As Qin Mubai spoke, he gave Li Ke a warning.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate that we came." Li Ke blinked his eyes and obviously understood what Qin Mubai meant. He asked him to take Princess Gaoyang away as soon as possible, so he said, "Gaoyang, Qin Mansion has guests today. It's not convenient for us to visit. Why don't we go back first and come back another day?"

"What's the inconvenience?" Princess Gaoyang pouted and muttered, "I'm here, do you still want to leave silently? We are princes and princesses, and we should take into account the royal prestige. Is it possible that the prince and princess have to make way for the minister to go out?

Qin Mubai and Li Ke looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Qin Mubai said in his heart: This little girl can really use the topic to play the outline online. What else can she do? I can only hope that she will not be with Wu Mei Niang for a while, and not play Halley's Comet to hit the earth in front of many guests.

At this time, Qin Mubai and Cheng Zhijie, who were just drinking in the hall, also heard the news of a guest's visit. Knowing that it was Li Ke and Princess Gaoyang, they were shocked for a while and hurried to welcome them together.

Seeing that Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie came over, Li Ke hurriedly pulled Princess Gaoyang and signaled her not to talk nonsense anymore. He smiled at the two people and took the initiative to arch his hand first from afar: "Prince Yi, Duke of Lu, Xiao Wang took the liberty to visit and disturb the two of them. He is guilty!"

"I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the King of Wu!" Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie hurriedly stopped by the road and bowed their hands.

"You two don't have to be polite." Li Ke hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang is free today, so he went out to play with his royal sister Gao Yang. He happened to live in Qin's house. He thought that Mu Bai was on vacation at home, so he stopped the car and wanted to chat with him. I'm really sorry to bother you two.

Qin Shubao smiled slightly: "Your Highness is not as good as coming earlier. The house is preparing thin wine. If Your Highness does not dislike it, please stop driving and move to a cold house. How about having a drink?"

"Dearing the kindness of the Duke of Wing, Xiao Wang is disrespectful. You two, please!" Li Ke smiled and waved to Gao Yang, "Why don't you come to see the two Dukes of Yi and Lu?"

"How dare you!" Qin Shubao raised his eyes to the door and glanced at Princess Gaoyang. Suddenly, his eyes were slightly exposed. He took the initiative to bow his hand to Princess Gaoyang, "Welcome Your Highness!"

"The Duke of Yikuo quickly avoids gifts!" Princess Gaoyang's face is already red. She has seen a lot of scenes like this in the past, just like a daily routine. But today, she clearly felt that she was blushing and flustered, and her lips trembled a little when she spoke.

Everyone understood her little expression and smiled secretly: How could Princess Gaoyang be so nervous and cramped in the face of Qin Shubao?

"His Royal Highness the King of Wu and His Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know that the two of you have arrived. Please forgive the old minister for the crime of disrespect. Your Highness, please come in and sit down and let the old minister personally make amends for the wine!" Qin Shubao politely sent out an invitation.

Cheng Zhijie smiled secretly behind him and gave Qin Mubai a look, as if to say, "Look at your father's happiness. I'm excited to see the princess's daughter-in-law!"

Qin Mubai shook his head with a helpless wry smile and had nothing to say.

Li Ke and Gao Yang walked side by side and went to the hall together. Princess Gaoyang was so interested all the way that she couldn't help whispering curiously, "Third brother, why is the magnificent Xunmen Qin Mansion so simple and even a little shabby?"

"What, do you dislike it?" Li Ke smiled evilly, "If you don't like it, you can ask your father to give you a mansion to Qin Mubai, and you can marry you in the future."

"I hate it, I mean... I mean..." Princess Gaoyang was speechless and could only stare at Li Ke with shame and annoyance.

A group of people waited into the hall. Qin Shubao wanted to invite Li Ke and Gao Yang to sit down. The two refused to resign, so they sat down as guests. The house was also busy, and he hurriedly prepared a banquet and had some drinks, just like a festival.

Li Ke hurriedly said, "The Duke of Yi doesn't have to be busy. If you are like this, my sister and I can't bear to disturb you."

"Your Highnesses condescend to visit, and the old minister should treat you well. Your Highness doesn't have to be so uneasy." Qin Shubao laughed and said, "Although I'm poor, I can still afford a meal."

"Ha ha!" Li Ke also smiled, "In this case, Xiao Wang and his sister-in-law will no longer be polite!" The Qin Xian wine on the Yigong Mansion is famous as a treasure in the world. Xiao Wang didn't taste it carefully before. He must make up for it today.

"Good to say, good to say." Qin Shubao nodded and smiled, "There is no other good product in my house. This wine alone can be taken out to meet people. Speaking of which, this is all done by the dog's idleness. Thanks to his filial piety, he used this wine to soak medicinal wine to cure my cold leg rheumatism. The effect is amazing! If your Highness likes it, I can ask my family to send you more altars.

"It's so good. Xiao Wang would like to thank Duke Yi." Li Ke forced a smile and replied.

Other people can't help laughing. Qin Mubai stood beside Qin Shubao, with a bitter face, a little unable to laugh or cry.

This Qin Shubao is really interesting. Such a famous iron-blooded god of war, in front of her son's "famous girlfriend", Wang Po sold melons and boasted. The heroes also behave like small people in the face of their children's marriage. It seems that she is afraid that Princess Gaoyang doesn't know the advantages of her son.

Princess Gaoyang sat next to Li Ke and covered her mouth hard. She was afraid that she would laugh out and lose her courtesy. She said in her heart: I thought Qin Shubao was so fierce. It turned out to be quite amiable, just like an ordinary little old man, which was also quite funny! Hey hey, Mu Bai really looks like him. If you add a long beard, the father and son will be like a person. Maybe, decades later, Mu Bai is like him now, hehe! ......

Qin Mubai stood behind Qin Shubao and looked at Princess Gaoyang with a silly smile covering her mouth. She couldn't help saying to herself: What strange things is this silly girl thinking about?

After a young time, new dishes and drinks were presented. Fortunately, Qinfu had prepared early today, so it was able to deal with it. Qin Shubao also asked Qin Mubai to sit down next to Li Ke and accompany him to drink. Princess Gaoyang wanted to come over and talk to him. However, there were so many people present that Qin Shubao was present, so she had to hold back. From time to time, she stared at Qin Mubai or raised her mouth to make a grimace when people were not paying attention.

Cheng Zhijie sat on the side and fell clean. He also knew that he was a small supporting role now, so he was happy to concentrate on wine tasting. He drank two cups alone and blushed. Xue Rengui was completely like disappearing. He sat at the end of the table without saying a word, neither drinking nor talking, but just sitting with him.

Seeing that he was restrained, Cheng Zhijie got up and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Xue Rengui, come on, have a drink with me!"

"The younger generation is too drunk and afraid of drunkenness, so he can only drink lightly. Please forgive the old general!" Xue Rengui hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and got up.

"Well... Mu Bai, your friend hasn't introduced it yet!" Li Ke said to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai smiled and got up and said, "Brother Xue, I respect the wine of Duke Lu. Come and I'll introduce you."

"Good." Xue Rengui accompanied Cheng Zhijie to drink wine. He raised the bottle and walked to the table where Li Ke sat with Princess Gaoyang. He arched his hand and said, "Caomin Xue Rengui, I have seen the King of Wu and Princess Gaoyang!"

"Oh, since it is Mu Bai's good friend, it's also my good friend. You don't have to be too polite." Li Ke looked up and down at Xue Rengui, and couldn't help but see a slight light in front of him: a great coincidence, this man is modest, calm and restrained, quite cultivated. It must be an extraordinary person who can be friends with Qin Mubai, be taken by him to the Yigong Mansion as a guest, and let Qin Shubao set up a banquet to treat each other in person!

"Your Highness, Brother Xue, it's fate to meet. I'll give you two a toast!" Qin Mubai came out to round up, which also made everyone face-to-face, and he was no longer strange.

The three of them drank a bottle of wine together, and then sat down separately. The banquet continues.

Li Ke looked back at Xue Rengui a few more times and asked in a low voice to Qin Mubai, who was sitting next to him, "Mu Bai, this Xue Rengui is very face-to-face, and I have never heard you mention it. When did you have such a good friend?"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "It's a long story."
