Chapter 328 A touch of charm

Liu Shi has been the side room of the Qin family for half of her life, and her low-key patience and hard work have almost become her label. She doesn't have the usual coquettishness and domineering of an ordinary lady. She is more like an aunt, kind, hardworking and kind.

Two years ago, Qin Shubao "supported" her on the eve of going to Lanzhou. From then on, she deeply realized the meaning of "mother and son are precious".

Take today's family banquet as an example. Liu, who has never eaten alone at the formal banquet, was honored to the upper seat. The lower head sat Princess Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang, and Wu Meiniang and Zheng Anshun came down in turn. And her favorite girl, Shuanger, sat on her mother's side table with an exception, pouring wine and vegetables for her.

The ancients valued etiquette and gave lectures. No matter where it is, the direction of sitting down and eating is chaotic.

Liu Shi sat in the first seat of the upper seat, and his heart was awkward and nervous. Leaving aside his own son, which one is not a first-class figure in the Tang Dynasty? A princess, the only heir of the richest man in the world, and an unsuccessful daughter-in-law are now also a popular merchant in the Tang Dynasty.

That doesn't count. The people here are all scrambling to toast her. Liu was simply flattered!

However, the people present took it for granted, not because she was an ordinary woman, but a little contemptful.

The mother and daughter smiled from time to time, both gratified and excited. It's not because of their vanity and snobbery. Today, they can sit in this position to eat, which is the result of Qin Mubai's hard work. To put it bluntly, they are proud because of Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai sat and ate and drank, and Zheng Anshun was next to him.

Qin Mubai still has a good impression on Zheng Anshun. This is the first person he saw who really deserved the word "gentleman" after he came to the Tang Dynasty. Previously, with Li Ke, the three of them worked together to break through the water ghost party and added a layer of friendship. In addition, the three people have the same smell, which can also be regarded as confidants.

When he just arrived in Xiangyang, he listened to Su Lianqing's nonsense, and Qin Mubai didn't pay attention to it. As early as when he first met Wu Mei Niang, he had heard that Zheng Anshun had a good impression on Wu Mei Niang. That is, since Wu Mei Niang opened the "world's first wine" store in Chang'an, Zheng Anshun has also begun to "invest" in many aspects of Wu Mei Niang, including emotional, financial and commercial support, and Qin Mubai is also clear.

He has never been the kind of narrow-minded man. It's one thing whether there is confidence or not. If a woman can't even resist this ** and shouts to leave, Qin Mubai will never stay with each other.

The forced melon is not sweet. If it's yours, it's yours. If it's not yours, you will leave after all.

Just like when Wu Mei Niang lost her temper and "divorced" him in Jiangzhou, Qin Mubai wrote a letter of divorce without hesitation. At that time, Wu Mei Niang had enough steps to go down and left Qin Mubai to choose Zheng Anshun. But in the end, she didn't. It was also from that time that the emotional foundation of the two was completely laid, not just relying on a marriage contract to bind each other.

Since such obstacles have come over, what else does Qin Mubai have to worry about? What's the reason not to believe Wu Mei Niang?

Zheng Anshun seems to have deliberately stayed today, and participating in such a "family banquet" does not make people feel incompatible. He has a wide range of knowledge. Perhaps his greatest strength is to integrate perfectly into any environment, which makes people not feel his abruptness.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Anshun said to Qin Mubai, "Brother Qin, Zheng heard that you were coming, stopped the trip, and specially stayed in Xiangyang to travel with Qinzhou. I don't know if Brother Qin mind?

"Welcome." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't you see that there are many women around me? If you can travel with a wonderful person like Brother Zheng, you can meet but not ask for it!"

"Haha!" Zheng Anshun smiled and said, "Brother Qin is really an upright man!" To be honest, Zheng has been detained in Xiangyang for more than three months. First, it is to take care of some food business after autumn, and second,..."

Zheng Anshun stopped talking with a little embarrassment. Qin Mubai smiled slightly and whispered, "For Mei Niang, right?"

Zheng Anshun did not deny it and nodded with a smile.

"It's a real man!" Qin Mubai took a sip, took a breath and said, "There are only people like you who deserve to compete with me."

"It's a pity that she still chooses you and only wants to be regarded as a brother to Zheng." Zheng Anshun still smiled calmly.

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Are you disappointed?"

"To be honest, it is."

"Are you ready to give up like this?"

Zheng Anshun smiled and raised his glass and said, "Does Zheng look like that kind of shameless brazen person? It's better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. In fact, Zheng didn't have any hope from the beginning. He just followed his mood and did something he thought he should do. Let nature take its course. When it's time to die, you will naturally die. Leave no regrets and have a clear conscience.

"Haha!" Qin Mubai raised his glass and smiled, "In this way, you and my brothers are also a 'gentleman's battle'!" If a woman like Mei Niang doesn't have a man to fight for her, isn't it a stain on her? Come on, Brother Zheng, let's drink!"

The two of them drank a cup together.

Princess Gaoyang opposite saw it, curled her mouth and said, "I'm really shameless! Two big men are talking about women in front of us. What are they fighting for? Are we objects? He also praised that gentlemen flattered each other. I really can't stand it!"

Wu Mei Niang's face has long been red, red and simple, and her heartbeat is a little fast. She never expected that Qin Mubai and Zheng Anshun would discuss these things in front of her. Hearing what Princess Gaoyang said, she smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "Princess, Zheng Anshun is a real gentleman; as for Mu Bai... I won't talk about it!"

"Hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned thieves, and she turned to Wu Mei Niang's ear and whispered, "Mei Niang, are you moved by Zheng Anshun? Haha, do you want the red apricot out of the wall?

Su Lianqing said this, and Wu Mei Niang didn't care; but these words came from Princess Gaoyang's mouth, as if the taste had changed in an instant, not to mention in such an environment!

Wu Mei Niang was suddenly shocked, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Haha! The more nervous you are, the more you think about it. Princess Gaoyang smiled demons and frowned and said, "Okay, okay! I just like to watch such a good show! Get out of the wall, get out of the wall! I'd like to see what Mu Bai will look like!"

"..." Wu Mei Niang was speechless, shook her head and smiled bitterly, and a rare burst of tension appeared on her face. She has known the mischievousness and grotesqueness of Princess Gaoyang for a long time. Unexpectedly, in just a year or two, her "power" has obviously risen sharply. I really don't know what she has done and learned after following Qin Mubai in the past year or two. Anyway, she didn't learn a little, and she put bad water in her stomach.

After the banquet, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Mei Niang and Shuang'er accompanied Liu Shi for a walk in the backyard and admired a flower nursery served by Wu Mei Niang herself. Over the years, the business has been successful, and the excellent life has not been milled on the diligence and aura of Wu Mei Niang. There are no rare and precious strange flowers and plants in the world in the flowerbed, just simple plants, and some of them are wild flowers on the roadside. But as soon as her hands are trimmed and placed, it is aura.

It is not appropriate to describe it as purple and bright red, and the unique taste can often turn ordinary into magic. If it hadn't been for the fact that this flower garden came from the hands of a weak and delicate female stream, anyone who has been in the world for some years and has some qualifications and background will think that this is the handwriting of a recluse or a forest gardener. It is like a light ink landscape, but it is like a soul separated from the dust dancing.

In the past few years, Qin Mubai's knowledge has been extensive. Even the Royal Forest Garden served by the world's first-class masters did not give him such a sense of surprise, and it was gorgeous but not greasy, and could withstand scrutiny and tasting.

It's not easy.

In an all of an eye, Qin Mubai almost looked at Wu Mei Niang with new eyes.

Maybe they are accompanied together every day like a frog boiled in warm water, but I don't think there is any special change. After a year of separation, Wu Mei Niang has undergone a huge change.

What on earth has changed in her body? Qin Mubai couldn't tell for a moment. Since entering the door, the two have not sat together and said a word. Occasionally, they made a hurried eye contact, and more talked about the pain of lovesickness and friendship.

If you want to say that Qin Mubai is not ready to move now, he is looking forward to the disappearance of these people in front of him so that he can hold her in the arms of Wu Mei Niang. That's a nonsense. Obviously, Qin Mubai also saw from his eyes that Wu Mei Niang was eager to **.

Every second at the present seems to be a little difficult.

Zheng Anshun is a smart person. He enjoyed the tea in the flowering for a little time with Qin Mubai and left. It is agreed that he will be the host tomorrow and invite Qin Mubai and others to visit his courtyard in Xiangyang. Qin Mubai agreed, and he left.

It was getting late. Shuang'er took the maids of the Qin family and served her mother to rest first. Today, she lived with Wu Mei Niang, and everything was already ready.

On the spot, only Qin Mubai, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang were left, drinking tea and chatting about irrelevant gossip. The atmosphere became delicate for a moment.

Princess Gaoyang turned her eyes thieves and glanced left and right at Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang, who had their own ghosts. She was very mischievous and talked endlessly with them. It made the maidservants behind her snicker.

This is a fool who can think of how much a couple of lovers who have met again after a long separation yearn for the world of two people. But Princess Gaoyang didn't want to stay here to make a big light bulb.

After a while, Qin Mubai was a little annoyed and said bluntly, "Gao Yang, why don't you go to bed?"

"Oh, just go, just go." Princess Gaoyang pretended to be stupid and nodded, hugged Wu Mei Niang's elbow, and said coquettishly, "Mei Niang, it's so cold today. Xiangyang doesn't burn the kang, right? Shall we sleep together?"

Wu Mei Niang's face suddenly turned red, but she only said: "Okay..."

Qin Mubai suddenly hated it. Princess Gaoyang is already an "old deep-fried dough stick" and has never had any "in-depth" communication with Wu Mei Niang. Today is a great opportunity for this guy to come out to make trouble!

"Mei Niang and I still have some important things to talk about." Qin Mubai said solemnly to the maidservants, "You guys, wait for the princess to rest first!"

"I don't want it!" Princess Gaoyang immediately shouted and hugged Wu Mei Niang tightly, "Qin Mubai, don't think I don't know what you want to do! Humph, hum! In a word, Mei Niang is mine tonight. Don't have a bad idea!"

Wu Mei Niang suddenly blushed to the root of her neck and wanted to dig a hole to get in.

Qin Mubai was also angry and happy. He really couldn't laugh or cry - this kind of words can only be said by such a stupid treasure and living treasure like Princess Gaoyang. Is there such a savage savage sting of window paper? It's even worse than beating mandarin ducks!

"Okay, I'm really afraid of you!" Qin Mubai almost gritted his teeth and said, "Mei Niang, let's talk about it tomorrow!" You can rest early. I'll go to Pang Fei's.

"Oh!" Princess Gaoyang became more and more arrogant and said with a chry smile, "Do you want Pang Fei to take you to look for flowers and ask Liu?"

"It's your head!" Qin Mubai stood up crying and laughing, smiled at Wu Meiniang and whispered, "It's cold at night, rest early."

"Um..." Wu Mei Niang smiled and nodded gently.

Qin Mubai turned around and left. Wu Mei Niang saw him leave, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Princess Gaoyang's bad smile exaggeratedly raised her hand in front of Wu Mei Niang to interfere with her sight. She smiled and said, "Look at your straight eyes. Do you want to drag him back? Haha!! Mei Niang, you are from my princess tonight!"

For a moment, Wu Mei Niang really didn't know what to say. She was helpless and couldn't help laughing, "Princess, I haven't seen you for a year. It's like I'm no longer your opponent. In the future, inside and outside, I will listen to you.

"Hahaha!" Princess Gaoyang smiled proudly and became a villain. She put her arms around Wu Mei Niang's soft waist to reveal the man's greedy and lustful expression. She smiled dewdly and said, "You don't look at it. How did I practice in the past two years? Do you want to learn, hey hey!"

"Princess, please forgive me for my disrespectful words..."

"Hee hee, say it!"

"Your shameless appearance is really like Mu Bai's charm!"

Qin Mubai walked out of Qin Xian's firm and shook his head and smiled bitterly all the way.

In the middle of the night, the city of Xiangyang is bustling. More than a year ago, with the care of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum, Xiangyang's industrial and commercial tourism industry has developed rapidly, and now it has become a famous rich city in the south. A year later, I visited the old place again. Obviously, the prosperity and bustle of the past were on a higher level, which was not the same.

Take a look in the endless crowd. Qin Mubai is actually in a good mood. Over the past few years, it has been rare for me to be as relaxed as I am now.

Suddenly in the crowd, Qin Mubai saw the back of a familiar man in front of him. Carrying a burden and walking in no hurry.

Qin Mubai was curious for a moment, but he couldn't remember where he had met this person. So he squeezed out the crowd and chased him.

The man obviously noticed that Qin Mubai was chasing him, deliberately accelerated his pace a little, and walked to the sparsely populated streets.

Qin Mubai added a trace of vigilance to his curiosity: Who is it? Do you want to lead me to a secluded place?

The man carrying the burden walked into a dark alley but stopped, put down the burden, and still turned his back to Qin Mubai, obviously waiting for him.

Qin Mubai stopped and stared at it. The light competition was not very real. So he asked, "Who makes someone so familiar?"

"General Qin, long time no see." The man slowly turned around.

Qin Mubai was suddenly shocked: "Why are you!!!"
