Chapter 267 I'm not stupid

"Linger should still be with Miss Wu now, right? Go and get her." Li Daozong said at the last minute, "Be careful, don't let her hear any news."

"I understand." Qin Mubai nodded understandingly, said goodbye to Li Daozong, and went to Wu Mei Niang's house.

Riding on the horse slowly, Qin Mubai's heart has been thinking: How can she hide it from Linger? This girl is usually mischievous and like a child, but in fact she is a smart and shrewd girl. Now you can only make two preparations: one is to cover it carefully and try not to let her know about Li You; the other is that in case she finally knows that the paper can't cover the fire, she has to set a response in advance.

In this way, I walked slowly on a street for a long time. Along the way, many ordinary gentry greeted him affectionately, and they were really a little tired to deal with it.

It turned out that at the time of the sacrifice, Li Daozong announced a series of policies for the people promulgated by the emperor, which had already been known to the people of Xiangyang. When the people get such benefits, they will naturally be grateful. Naturally, they would not be confused to thank Yang Guang, the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but applied this thought to Li Ke and Qin Mubai.

Especially Qin Mubai.

Because there have been rumors in the outside world that it was Qin Mubai who cracked the secret map of the treasure left by the water ghosts that he found the true mausoleum of Emperor Yang, and then today's sacrifice and the prefectural policy of the imperial court were issued. As early as when the water ghost case was solved, Li Ke and Qin Mubai had become "idols" in the minds of the people of Xiangzhou. Now that this ceremony is held, the image of the two is unprecedentedly high. The local people and gentry in Xiangyang almost burned incense to worship Li Ke and Qin Mubai as gods and Buddhas.

Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouted, "General Qin!"

The voice was very familiar. Qin Mubai looked sideways and it turned out to be Xue Rengui. He was dressed in casual clothes mixed in the crowd and was wacing to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai got off the horse and the two got together. He asked, "Where is Brother Xue going?"

Xue Rengui bowed his hand and returned the salute. He smiled with some embarrassment and said, "When I heard that Wu Dong's family had arrived in Xiangzhou, I wanted to go to visit him."

"Oh!" Qin Mubai smiled knowingly and said, "You want to know if your wife and children have come to Xiangzhou with you, right?"

"Exact" Xue Rengui said bluntly, smiling shyly.

"Let's go together. I'm going to her house." Qin Mubai stroked his back and said, "I heard from Mei Niang that Mrs. Zun seems to have come to Xiangzhou together. I also heard that she gave birth to a son for you!"

"Yes, the last general has known in the letter that he has been born for three or four months." Xue Rengui said with some excitement, "I think I, Xue, have been a poor man for half of my life, and now I finally have a son. I can finally tell my ancestors!"

"Haha! Congratulations, Brother Xue, you have become a father!" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Yes, has your son named it?"

Xue Rengui shook his head, was overjoyed, and smiled, "Not yet. Xue doesn't read much, so he's afraid that his name doesn't sound good. General Qin is very knowledgeable. How about giving a suggestion to the last general?

"That's not good! Haha, it's better to name your own son. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Otherwise, my wife won't follow you."

As he spoke, he arrived at Wu Mei Niang's house.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Princess Gaoyang walking anxiously in the yard of the front house. When Bu saw Qin Mubai at a glance, she immediately ran over excitedly. Despite Xue Rengui's presence, she directly rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Mu Bai, are you all right?" There was a cry in her voice, which made Qin Mubai feel sad.

"It's okay. I'm fine. Isn't it good?" Qin Mubai stroked her back and comforted her softly.

At this time, Wu Mei Niang also hurriedly came over from the back house. Seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling. She stood not far away and didn't come back.

"Look, Mei Niang is laughing at you!" Qin Mubai said jokingly.

"Ah?" Princess Gaoyang woke up and hurriedly came out of Qin Mubai's arms. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled and said, "It's your fault! I only know how to make people worry. I don't know how to get through this day. It's really like a year!"

"Well, it's just a false alarm. Didn't I come back safely?" Qin Mubai looked up and saw Su Lianqing standing behind Wu Mei Niang, making a frown on him. He couldn't help but block his heart: This guy, didn't he talk nonsense?

Xue Rengui has stepped forward to salute Wu Mei Niang. When Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang came over, they heard Wu Mei Niang say, "Mrsister Liu is not tired after giving birth. Maybe she is a little cold and not feeling well. I asked her to stay in bed in the back house and asked a doctor to take care of her. Brother Xue came in time. Go and have a look!"

"Good!" Xue Rengui couldn't wait to go to Liu's residence under the leadership of a housekeeper. The rest of the idle people retreated, leaving only Qin Mubai, Su Lianqing, Wu Mei Niang and Princess Gaoyang.

"Mu Bai, are you all right?" Wu Mei Niang came forward and asked with a smile and concern.

"Of course it's okay! If I take action, can there be any difference?" Su Lianqing smiled.

"There is no respect or inferiority. You should shut up. The first thing you need to learn to make a living under me is to follow the rules. Wu Mei Niang said coldly, "I need to thank you for saving Mu Bai, so I fulfilled my previous promise and promised to accept you to stay with me; but since you stayed, you have to abide by the rules. You have to distinguish between these two things.

"Yes, yes, yes, the big owner. I will abide by your 'rules' in the future. Su Lianqing didn't care, smiling brightly.

Qin Mubai stared at her angrily and said, "Have you already told the King of Wu?"

"Of course." Su Lianqing wrapped around his hair and said proudly, "His Royal Highness the King of Wu heard that I was going to follow the Wudong family, so I agreed without thinking about it. General Qin, you have a lot of face!"

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little annoyed. This ** troublesome woman followed Wu Meiniang from then on, and she didn't know what was going to breed.

Wu Mei Niang glanced at Su Lianqing and said faintly, "Go and have a rest. I'll call you if I have something to do."

"Yes, Wudong's family." Su Lianqing arched his hand with a smile, turned around, and left leisurely and confidently.

"Well, I don't like this woman." Princess Gaoyang curled her lips and said, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good one."

"But if it hadn't been for her this time, it would have been difficult for Mu Bai to get out safely!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "In fact, each of the three teachings and nine streams has its own strengths. As long as you promote your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, different people will have different uses. I know that Su Lianqing is wild and has great ability. The reason why he hides with me is just to eat a bowl of idle food for comfort. It doesn't matter. I'll keep her and don't worry about adding a pair of chopsticks to her. Maybe one day, she will be of great use to me.

"Mei Niang, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you? Seeing that she looks careless and unruly, she will definitely not take care of herself. Princess Gaoyang was quite worried.

Wu Mei Niang smiled confidently: "Don't worry! What kind of people have I haven't been in contact with in business in the past few years? In fact, there are people under me who are more difficult to tame than her. Isn't it the same safe? I can't control Su Lianqing, a gangster in the world. How can I run such a big family business?

Qin Mubai's heartfelt relief and admiration: Wu Mei Niang is Wu Mei Niang! In history, she has dominated the whole world! Su Lianqing is indeed not under her words.

It seems that I'm really worried!

Perhaps, when Su Lianqing met Wu Mei Niang, he really found a suitable place to settle down. In this vast sea of people, it is not so easy to meet a boss who can control and control her and give her a sense of security.

"It's just... Su Lianqing knows too much about me. It is a metaphor for a small building in the suburbs and Chen Yan, a metaphor for Li You, and a metaphor for the killer sisters who gave me drug abuse. Whatever is said to the two women in front of them, it's all the disaster of Halley's Comet hitting the earth!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but tighten his heart. "No wonder this old woman has a carefree look, and she is not worried that the boss will not treat her well at all. It turned out that it was because she pinched the big handle of my backstage boss in her hand! It seems that in the future, I have to coax her and shut her mouth... depressed!"

"Mu Bai, what are you thinking? As soon as you enter the door, you are in a trance. Are you worried? Wu Mei Niang asked curiously and lovingly.

"It's okay." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I've been too busy and a little tired these two days. Now I want to sit down and have a quiet meal.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Wu Mei Niang said with a smile, "I'll let the kitchen arrange a dinner right away."

"No, no, Mei Niang!" Princess Gaoyang hurriedly said, "I still have some 'important' things to ask Mu Bai. Why don't you let him accompany me to my uncle's Xingyuan for dinner? ...I'm sorry, Mei Niang, I'm going to take him away as soon as he comes back, hehe! Please be flexible!"

Wu Mei Niang smiled slightly: "Your Highness has spoken. How can I not agree?"

At this moment, Xue Rengui came over with a baby in his arms and said with joy and gratitude, "Wu Dong family, thank you for taking care of Zhuojing all the time. The mother and son are safe, and the son is white and fat!"

"Let me have a look." Qin Mubai came over to take a look and teased his little nose. The boy suddenly cried loudly. Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing and said, "This boy has a bad temper, haha! Brother Xue, he will definitely be more tempered than you in the future!"

"Men, having a little temper is not necessarily a bad thing." Wu Mei Niang said with a smile, "Brother Xue, give your son a name!"

Xue Rengui smiled bluntly and said, "If you have a bad temper, it's easy to offend people, and it's easy to do bad things. Then I'll give him a neutral name and call him Xue Na!"

"Ner?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Do you want him to be as dull as you?"

"Uh..." Xue Rengui suddenly laughed awkwardly, "If it's not appropriate, please ask General Qin and Wu Dong's family to help you think about it. You two are more knowledgeable."

"Huh, does it mean that I have no knowledge? You dull elm skull, you have offended the princess at once!" Princess Gaoyang laughed and scolded angrily, "What's wrong with Xue Ner? What's the point of being dull like you when you grow up?"

"No, no, this is not what I mean... Your Highness, please forgive me!" Xue Rengui couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Xuene is very good." Wu Mei Niang nodded and smiled, "As the saying goes, great wisdom is stupid and clumsy. Na, the heavy sword has no edge, is clumsy and restrained, and has quite a general demeanor. In my opinion, Brother Xue is a real smart person, both modest and meaningful. I really hope your son will have your demeanor and talent in the future.

Wu Mei Niang's words turned Xue Rengui's face red. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's still Wudong's literary talent and profound knowledge. What kind of demeanor and talent does Xue have? However, what the Wudong family said just now is quite reasonable. Xuene, the name is good. Let's make it!"

"Okay, congratulations on having a good son. Remember to have a banquet another day and invite us to celebrate together!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Definite!" Xue Rengui nodded gratefully, "When the typhoid fever is cured, I will definitely invite everyone to come to the banquet to celebrate!"

"Well, it's time for us to go, Mu Bai." Princess Gaoyang couldn't wait. She smiled and spit out her tongue at Wu Mei Niang, "Mei Niang, let's go. You won't be angry, will you?"

"No, go!" Wu Mei Niang nodded generously and smiled.

"Bear you then!" After saying that, Princess Gaoyang pulled Qin Mubai away and went straight out of Wu Mei Niang's house.

Wu Meiniang stood still and frowned and thought: This girl is so weird, why did she suddenly leave? It's not like her usual style. Did she realize something and ask Qin Mubai in private? ...Isn't it Su Lianqing's nonsense with a big mouth that makes her hear the clue?

"Come on." Thinking of this, Wu Mei Niang's face was slightly dark and she called.

A maid came and asked, "What's the order of the owner?"

"Adeer Su Lianqing to come to my room."

"Yes! ......”

Qin Mubai was pulled out by Princess Gaoyang. Of course, he also realized the abnormality of Princess Gaoyang, and he was also a little nervous.

However, Princess Gaoyang had been smiling with a rather excited and happy look, and did not let him ride a horse. She directly pulled him into the princess's car, but did not go to the river king Xingyuan, but ordered the driver to go to the river.

"Ling'er, what are you going to the riverside at this time?" Qin Mubai asked.

Princess Gaoyang stalked quietly on him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I just want to talk to you quietly for a while. Can't there be no one else?"

"Of course." Qin Mubai had to reply like this.

Princess Gaoyang didn't say anything along the way. She just quietly leaned against Qin Mubai's arm and closed her eyes as if she were asleep.

Qin Mubai felt that she seemed to have a lot of things in her mind, waiting to talk to herself for a while.

The driver drove the carriage to the side of the Han River and stopped at a river embankment with fragrant grass and quiet environment. When the two got out of the car, Princess Gaoyang took off her shoes and walked carefully on the green grass by the river with a pair of white feet, with a shallow smile on her face and bowed her head thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about, Linger?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Mu Bai, do you have something to hide from me?" Princess Gaoyang carried her two shoes, gently kicked the grass, and asked in a low voice.

"No, what can I hide from you?" Qin Mubai's heart jumped and deliberately smiled, "Are you still jealous?"

"You know I'm not referring to this." Princess Gaoyang was abnormal. She was neither coquettish nor arrogant, but said softly, "I know, you must have something to hide from me."

"No." Qin Mubai said affirmatively.

Princess Gaoyang shook her head and smiled.

Qin Mubai's heart suddenly became uncertain. This girl usually seems heartless, but in fact, her heart is like a mirror. At present, her expression is enough to show that she is very sure of the speculation in her heart...

"You all regard me as a child, coax me, lie to me, think I'm a big fool, and don't know anything." Princess Gaoyang was not angry or sarcastic. She said calmly with a smile on her face, "In fact, most of the time, I don't mind if you treat me as a child, especially you. Because every time like this, you spoil me and love me very much. However, this does not mean that I really don't know anything and don't think about anything. Mu Bai, you must understand what I'm talking about, right?

"I never thought you were stupid." Qin Mubai said, "Your heart is like a mirror, but it is silent. In fact, you are smarter than most people."

"Hee hee!" Princess Gaoyang smiled twice and said, "Then just tell me. What are you hiding from me?"

"I really don't know what it is. I have a lot of things that you don't know!" Qin Mubai was still trying to make a cover, "Why don't you remind me?"

"Do you think I want to ask you about the romantic affairs between men and women? I'm not interested, vulgar!" Princess Gaoyang pouted and said, "I don't care how many women you have, as long as you don't let me know and don't let me see it. I'm not upset. What I want to ask is... What has happened in the last two days? Why are you all mysterious with Uncle, my brother, my uncle, Wu Meiniang, Su Lianqing and others? You must have something to hide from me, right? Moreover, this matter must have something to do with me, right?

"No." Qin Mubai said it firmly.

"Then there must be!" Princess Gaoyang raised her lips, blinked her big eyes and stared at Qin Mubai, and said, "Every time you lie, you will be particularly 'awe-inspiring' and 'righteous'. Your expression will become unnatural, and your eyes will look elsewhere instead of facing my eyes."

"Uh! ..." Qin Mubai was stunned and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "No way, did you observe so carefully? Have I lied in front of you before?

"No." Princess Gaoyang cut her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly as if she was a teenager, and said leisurely, "I cheated you just now. But judging from your reaction and expression, I'm right. You are indeed lying!"

"I... Shit!" Qin Mubai's heart is called grievance!

It's really messy to care! Unexpectedly... I fell into the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl! Gaoyang, Gaoyang, I really underestimated your IQ before!

"Then tell me quickly. What else are you hiding?" Princess Gaoyang turned around, raised her head slightly, and whispered sincerely and expectantly, "Mubai, you have to believe me. I'm already an adult. I have experienced many things that women of my age have not experienced, including life and death. What else can't I accept and can't bear? I feel bad when you hide it from me like this, you know? I will feel that you don't respect me."

"I don't mean to disrespect you..." At this point, Qin Mubai knew that he could not prevaricate.

This girl is so smart. Even if she doesn't tell her, she will find a way to find out the truth of the matter from other places. Although she usually only knows how to have fun like a horse, she doesn't care about anything. But once she believes that what she is determined to do, she will be unswervingly and must do it before she can feel at ease. And at this time, the "great wisdom and courage" she shows is enough to surprise anyone!

For example, at the beginning, she would rather die than marry into a house, pretending to be crazy and looking for life, just like Qin Mubai.

"Speak up!" Princess Gaoyang looked at Qin Mubai with a smile and said softly, "Is it related to my brother and my uncle?" In the past two days, you have disappeared, my uncle has disappeared, and even my brother has avoided me. You are all so abnormal. I guess, right?"

Qin Mubai sighed, stared at Princess Gaoyang's clear eyes as clear as Birun Yanxi, shining with wisdom and spirituality, and nodded: "Yes."
