Others saw Wu Meiniang and Qin Mubai squatting together. Although they were confused about what they were doing, they were too sensible to come and disturb them.
"Mei Niang, in this case, let's not hunt anymore, okay?" Qin Mubai whispered in her ear.
"Wouldn't that disappoint you?" Wu Meiniang slowly dug the soil while smiling sheepishly, "I killed this rabbit and buried it with my own hands... Am I so stupid? ?”
"No. Really." Qin Mubai smiled softly, "You are so kind, you make me feel ashamed."
"Not at all, hehe..." Wu Meiniang laughed happily but also a little embarrassedly, "I can be quite cruel sometimes, but I can't tolerate this kind of pregnant little animal. Maybe it's because the three of us sisters I have been living with my mother since I was a child. I have always been sympathetic to orphans and widows. Did you see that these women I brought with me were all miserable people? When I first met you, I sent people around in the market. There is a condition for buying female slaves, they only need to be poor orphans. We are called masters and slaves, and we live together! ... Mubai, women are very pitiful, do you know?"
"I know." Qin Mubai's eyebrows slightly raised, his lips curled up into a warm smile, "Don't worry, I will love you, and I will also love your sisters."
"That won't work, you can only 'love' me!" Wu Meiniang suddenly closed her mouth and hummed falsely.
"Haha, where did you think you were?" Qin Mubai smiled, "Loving you and loving them are different ways of hurting... Oops, this is all a mouthful. Forget it, the rabbit is buried, you guys It must be tiring after traveling all the way, how about we find a place to rest for a while?”
"Okay! I'm really tired from chasing you all the way on horseback!" Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and stood up, bowed to the rabbit grave, and took Qin Mubai's elbow. Go forward.
The group of people walked down the mountain. Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang walked in front, and the horses were handed over to their followers. The slope down the mountain is not too steep, it is an easy walk and the scenery is pretty good, even if it is just a sightseeing tour.
"Mubai, where are you taking me?" Wu Meiniang held Qin Mubai's elbows with both hands and asked softly, smiling close to him.
"Go to a weirdo's house." Qin Mubai smiled and pretended to be secretive.
"Weird? How weird is it?" Wu Meiniang asked curiously.
"Mei Niang, let me ask you." Qin Mubai said, "What kind of army do you think Baiqi is?"
"Are you going to test me too?" Wu Meiniang said with a giggle, "The Baiqi are known to the world to be the emperor's personal guard. Although they are not many in number, their status is higher than that of the Twelve Guards. You can come and go at will. The Forbidden Palace is relied upon by His Majesty as his confidant, and is actually the personal guard of the royal family. You are a great general... Although you don't show much face in the temple, no one dares to take it easy on you. "
"Who said no?" Qin Mubai chuckled, "Now there is a villager in the mountains who treats Baiqi as a piece of shit and dismisses me, and he doesn't take me, the Baiqi envoy, seriously."
"Who is it? So bold?" Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and then said in annoyance, "He must be a stubborn and uncivilized fool. You can't get along with him."
"No, no," Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Not only is this man not a simpleton, but he is also a great talent. He possesses extraordinary powers and great ambitions. If he can dive into the Dragon's Soaring Abyss, he will surely become a great talent in the future!"
"Hey, is this the first time I've heard you praise a person like this?" Wu Meiniang flashed her beautiful eyes and suddenly smiled sweetly, "Oh, I finally heard it! - You want to recommend this person to be an official? Give him a favor, right?"
"Meiniang is so smart!" Qin Mubai chuckled, "Actually, I also know that the more talented and wise the people, the more noble and arrogant they are. Back then, Zhuge Liang was not a high-ranking official. Did Liu Bei ask him to come out of the mountain after looking at him three times?"
"Eh, I don't believe it." Wu Meiniang shook her head, "How can this person you are talking about be so powerful? I have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang is indeed an amazing person! Can he compare with Zhuge?"
"I'm just making an analogy. However, that man is indeed a rare talent." Qin Mubai frowned slightly and said seriously, "Let's just talk about martial arts - I, the Hundred Cavalry Envoy, will definitely not be his opponent." To be exaggerated, the three Qin Mubais together may not be able to defeat him. Perhaps, only my father can compete with him in this world, and that would only be possible when my father is in his prime."
"Wow, so powerful?" Wu Meiniang's eyes widened in astonishment, "Then if you can help him to join Baiqi, wouldn't you have an excellent helper? I see, although the people around you are loyal, But there is no need for someone who is truly capable and able to stand alone. It would be better to have these women under me! Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could recruit this person to be your right-hand man? He is both capable and will be impressed by you. The kindness of knowing and encountering you is heartfelt... Oh! You can't miss this kind of person! It will be much easier if you have a powerful helper!"
"Mei Niang, you are so smart." Qin Mubai laughed. "You saw through my thoughts right away. Yes, I want to recommend him. Firstly, he serves the country and the public, and secondly, he also has selfish motives. Last time I came here I met him by chance in Longmen and mentioned some things at that time. Unexpectedly, he declined my visit for the second time. I don’t know what the outcome will be.”
Wu Meiniang's big eyes flashed and she nodded slowly. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she asked: "Mu Bai, who is that person's name? Has he ever been married?"
"My surname is Xue Mingli, my courtesy name is Rengui, and I'm used to doing business with that word." Qin Mubai said, "Why did you ask him if he was married?"
"Oh, just say it!"
"He is a little two years older than me and is already married. He is married to the Liu family. The couple are from a poor family and live in a cave in front of them. They make a living by Xue Rengui shooting wild geese." Qin Mubai said.
"That's it, hehe..." Wu Meiniang suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"Hey! Do you believe that I can help you?" Wu Meiniang suddenly raised her pretty face and smiled mysteriously.
"You?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be happy, "Could it be that you want to use a beauty trick to make Xue Rengui submit? That won't work, you are mine!"
"You're evil!" Wu Meiniang raised her pink fist and lightly hit Qin Mubai's arm. Her face turned red but she smiled warmly, and then said, "I just asked him if he wanted to get married, so there are two reasons. Firstly, if he is single, I have many good sisters here who can be betrothed to him, and I will definitely not be in trouble for him; secondly, if he is already married, it will be easier! "
"How to handle this easily?" Qin Mubai asked puzzledly.
"Hey, don't you understand this?" Wu Meiniang said, "No matter how firm a man's will is, he can't withstand the wind on his pillow. If you can't convince Xue Rengui, can't I convince Liu? Hehe!"
"Seriously?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but said in surprise, "Don't tell me, this trick might be really useful. I think Xue Rengui and the Liu family are very close friends. If we can persuade the Liu family to help persuade Xue Rengui to become an official, I hope you can A way!"
"Leave it to me!" Wu Meiniang giggled happily, "It is easier for women to talk to each other. I remember when I was a child, if someone came to my father to do something and encountered obstacles, they would definitely come to my mother. As long as I persuade my mother, it will probably happen. It can be done!”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, my little Zhuge!" Qin Mubai laughed, feeling quite happy in his heart.
"Hey, what a little Zhuge, I don't dare to compare with him. I just hope it can be done. If I can do something for you, I will be very happy!" Wu Meiniang smiled happily.
"It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not." Qin Mubai smiled softly, patted her little hand and said, "I'm very happy if you have this heart. Of course, it's best if you can succeed!"
"I'll do my best!"
Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and thought to himself: When it comes to being a lobbyist, I am definitely not as good as Wu Meiniang. The strategy I adopted last time, which was to get straight to the point and get to the point, didn’t work very well. This time I wanted to take a roundabout way and find another way. But Wu Meiniang's ability to negotiate and negotiate is definitely better than mine. Because she comes from a business family, she has absorbed a lot of business ideas since she was a child!
The core of a businessman's thinking is to bargain with people's minds, buy cheap and sell high, only to make a profit without losing money!
In the past year, the young Wu Meiniang has been able to make the best wine in the world famous, and her business has even reached Jiangzhou. Now she is still thinking about cooperating with the imperial court to become an "official businessman". This is not just based on a few connections. Or just luck!
This guy is definitely a genius in business. She must be exceptionally good at maximizing interests and negotiating with others!
Perhaps, the Wu Zetian in history had the courage to sacrifice herself, castrate her emotions, and climb up step by step because she had this "aggressive, profit-oriented" business mentality since she was a child, and finally became the empress, right
The group of people had already arrived in front of Xue Rengui's cave dwelling.
There is still the same wooden fence, the loess yard is swept clean, there are a lot of firewood ready to be dried under the awning in front of the cave, and there are three chickens and two sheep wandering around on the other side. There is a curtain hanging at the entrance of the cave, so the scene inside the cave cannot be seen clearly, but the animals are scattered around, so there must be someone at home.
"I'll call the door!" Wu Meiniang volunteered and stepped forward.
"Okay." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded. If you take the liberty of visiting, a woman knocking on the door will not make people too disgusted and nervous.
"Is there anyone in the house? Master, are you at home?" Wu Meiniang stepped forward and stood in front of the curtain and asked.
"who?"
A sonorous and powerful man's voice came from the cave, Wu Meiniang took two steps back, clasped her fists like a man and said, "I am Chang'an Wu Zhao!"
"Hey, woman?" As the voice settled, the tall and tall Xue Rengui appeared in front of the cave dwelling.
Standing tall like a spear, with a majestic body!
At this time, several women behind Qin Mubai couldn't help but exclaimed and whispered: "What a heroic and majestic man!"
Wu Meiniang over there only smiled slightly and said: "I'm very uneasy for interrupting you. May I ask if you are Xue Rengui, the Longmen of Hanshan Shooting Goose?"
"It's just me." Xue Rengui looked at Wu Meiniang with a solemn expression, and returned the salute with his fists clasped, "May I ask if you have any advice for me?"
"I don't dare to accept advice, but I have a little matter to ask your wife, Sister-in-law Liu." Wu Meiniang smiled mysteriously.
At this time, Xue Rengui had already seen Qin Mubai and others standing not far away, and couldn't help but smile: "May I ask if the girl is with those distinguished guests?"
"Exactly." Wu Meiniang said without hesitation, "It's just that they are here to find you, but I am here to find your wife."
Xue Rengui chuckled: "In that case, please go in, Miss. The Clumsy Jing is in the cave. I'd like to excuse you, but I have to go up and greet the distinguished guests."
"Sorry to bother you." Wu Meiniang politely bent down and held her hands, then grinned and generously opened the curtain and walked into the cave.
Qin Mubai, who was not far away, couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself: This guy really has a way of making people not be wary of her at all. Less than three minutes after their first meeting, he actually rushed into someone's house in a swaggering manner!
