Along the way, Qin Mubai was muttering: I don't know how jealous Wu Meiniang is. What would she think if she saw Chen Yan? However, since I dare to bring her here blatantly, it proves that the relationship between me and her must be innocent. I think someone as smart as Wu Meiniang should be able to think of this and not embarrass me in front of my friends.
When the two arrived at the villa, there was Wu Meiniang's personal maid waiting at the entrance of the villa. When she saw Qin Mubai riding in front of her from a distance, she clapped her hands and rushed into the house with a cheerful laugh: "Come on, come on." ! General Guye is here!"
Qin Mubai looked embarrassed, and Chen Yan chuckled: "The nickname they gave you is really interesting."
"Stop teasing me and get off your horse."
"Qin Mubai, tell me, if Mrs. Wu sees me coming with you, will she be angry?" Chen Yan smiled as if she had some evil intentions.
"Don't worry, it won't be." Qin Mubai smiled, "She's not that kind of person."
"If she is that kind of person, she is definitely not worthy of you."
"Why?"
Chen Yan smiled: "A man like you is destined to be romantic all his life, and he cannot have only one woman by his side. If a narrow-minded and carefree woman becomes your wife, there will definitely be no peace in the family. If the wife is not virtuous, the husband will not be in trouble, it is true. This is true.”
"Hey, you are honest." Qin Mubai couldn't help but nodded and praised deeply, "You understand men so well! A woman like you is simply a man's confidant and gospel!"
"Don't say that." Chen Yan snorted, as if she was sneering, "I've just seen too much, and I've accepted this fact. The world is inherently unfair. A man can have a group of wives and concubines at home while still living and drinking outside, while a woman But she can only live with one husband or stay alone in an empty house. In fact, which woman is willing to share her man with other women, and which woman really doesn’t want her man and only loves herself for the rest of her life, unless love is inherently selfish? If you don’t love him, you can just let him do whatever he wants.”
"To the point." Qin Mubai nodded, "What you say is always so enlightening."
"So, there are more and more women like Empress Changsun in the world today." Chen Yan said, "Because they all chose to be smart women after struggling, pain, sadness and helplessness. Instead of being unable to change When your own men have multiple wives and concubines, you might as well be smart enough to accept them, or even take the initiative to help men take concubines. In fact, you know how sad women like the Changsun Queen feel when they do such things. Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean they really don’t mind the pain.”
"The truth. Your shortcoming is that you like to tell the truth too much." Qin Mubai laughed dryly and said, "Okay, it's better not to tell this kind of truth so that too many people hear it, especially Wu Meiniang. "
"Don't worry, I don't dare to ruin your good deeds."
After the two handed their horses over to the caretakers of the villa, they walked towards the courtyard where Wu Meiniang lived. After walking through the corridors and alleys for a while, they saw Wu Meiniang and her sisters trotting towards them.
Wu Meiniang had a look of joy and surprise on her face, and she couldn't help but wanted to come and greet Qin Mubai in person. But when she saw him walking with a woman in black holding a sword, she couldn't help but be startled and stopped.
"Hey, Master, why is there a woman following my general? My maid just now was blind, and I didn't see it clearly when I took a quick glance!..."
"Xiao Min, you are so stupid that you can't even see things like this clearly. Now you are embarrassing your boss!"
"Don't make any noise." Wu Meiniang raised her hand lightly to stop the argument among the maids behind her. She smiled and took a few steps forward. She said pleasantly, "Mu Bai, you are here. Is this your friend? Why don't you introduce me to him soon? I know?"
Before Qin Mubai could speak, Chen Yan stepped forward and looked at Wu Meiniang from head to toe, and said straightforwardly: "My name is Chen Yan. You are Wu Meiniang, right? She is indeed a beautiful woman who is both beautiful and knowledgeable. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.”
"Sister is also very beautiful. She has more dashing and heroic looks than Mei Niang." Wu Mei Niang smiled gracefully, "I heard Mu Bai mentioned you before, you are so amazing!"
"Really?" Chen Yan turned to look at Qin Mubai and couldn't help but smile, "It seems like he really won't tell you anything."
"This is how it should be between husband and wife! Hee hee!" Wu Meiniang smiled proudly.
Qin Mubai stood aside, feeling a little nervous.
These two women are fighting secretly!
Although their words were polite and courteous, and their expressions were like greeting friends they hadn't seen for many years, there was an undercurrent, and they were highly suspected of being jealous!
There is no way, who makes the natural enemy of beautiful women be beautiful women
When Wu Meiniang saw Chen Yan coming with me and ruining the date between the two of us, she thought it would be a lie if she said she was happy. Chen Yan... Although I have never mentioned feelings for her, this woman regards me as her good friend, and cares about me as a friend even more than herself. It seems like she is interested in commenting on everyone around me, which feels a bit like my mother.
Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are almost natural enemies...
At this moment, the maids and housekeepers behind Wu Meiniang also looked at Chen Yan with caution. Chen Yan chatted with Wu Meiniang for a few words, and couldn't help but smile: "Girls, there is no need to stare at me like this. Your brother-in-law, General, and I are just friends, and we will not be your master's love rivals."
"Huh?..." Everyone, including Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang, sympathized with each other - this woman spoke too directly!
Qin Mubai laughed dryly: "Chen Yan is a heroine. Her words are just like her sword. She goes straight and strives to hit the target, never dragging her feet."
"Sister is such a cheerful and admirable person!" Wu Mei Niang said with a sweet smile, "Quick, I'm talking standing here talking. Mu Bai, the oven is ready and the wine is warm, please hurry up, Sister Yan. Let’s have a meal together!”
"Okay." Qin Mubai nodded, "Sister Yan, please."
"I don't dare." Chen Yan giggled, "How can the majestic General Qin call me sister? Isn't it embarrassing for me, a daughter of a commoner?"
"Hehe, sister, don't worry about him, let's go first!" Wu Meiniang smiled, stepped forward and took Chen Yan's elbow to pull her forward, and said, "Since you are Mubai's friend, you are mine. Friends. When friends get along well, they are closer than brothers and sisters. In my opinion, Mu Bai is still in need of a sister to take care of him!"
sharp!
These two words suddenly popped into Qin Mubai's heart - Wu Meiniang is so amazing!
Just two understatement words pushed Chen Yan to the level of "sister". Naturally, there is no ambiguity between the elder sister and the younger brother. What's more, she was so tolerant and generous, just like a qualified hostess, and she was so polite to my friends that she gave me enough face.
On such a stage, even if Chen Yan has some thoughts about me, how can she still have the nerve to let them develop
With a gentle blow, Wu Meiniang seemed to have easily cut off the "possibility" between me and Chen Yan!
Qin Mubai secretly sighed, Wu Meiniang is really a smart woman. First of all, she didn't act like a vulgar jealous woman who was jealous when she saw Chen Yan blowing her beard, staring, noisy, or pretending not to care about the depression. Instead, she first assumed the high profile of a hostess, as if she was I am announcing to Chen Yan with the "established fact" - I am already Qin Mubai's wife. If you come, you will be a concubine at most! If you are just his friend, then you are my sister!
What a smart woman!
Maybe Wu Meiniang will never quarrel with me because of my entanglements with other women. She has her own solution, a solution that is full of wisdom and kindness.
If women are all born politicians, then Wu Meiniang is undoubtedly the genius and leader among them!
…
Wu Meiniang walked in front with Chen Yan on her arm, chatting a few words and laughing lightly from time to time, looking very harmonious, as if they were reluctant to meet again. The group arrived at the backyard rented by Wu Meiniang and saw that a barbecue table had already been set up with porcelain stones, and the chopped game meat was already placed on a chopping board. As long as you need to use ingredients, hairpins, and charcoal fire, you should have them all ready. Two pots of the world-famous Qin Xian Royal Wine were warmed on the small stove on one side. There were a small table and couches placed around the baking table, which were neatly arranged.
"Sister, please sit down quickly." Wu Meiniang first asked Chen Yan to sit down, then came forward with a smile, took Qin Mubai's hand and asked him to sit at the same seat with her, and said, "Mubai, I’m not a good drinker, so you have to treat Sister Yan well!”
"Don't worry, I never drink." Chen Yan smiled.
Qin Mubai thought for a moment and nodded: "It's true. I've never seen you drink."
"Sister Yan, this is Qin Xian Liquor brewed using the secret method created by Mu Bai. It was also given as imperial wine by the emperor. Why don't you try it?" Wu Meiniang said.
"Oh, is this the world-famous Qin Xianjiu?" Chen Yan smiled slightly, "Since Mei Niang is so kind and it is a rare and good wine, I will give it a break and have a drink with you."
"Hehe, Sister Yan is such a cheerful person! I like to get along with cheerful people the most!" Wu Meiniang smiled happily, but held Qin Mubai's elbow tighter in her hands.
Qin Mubai remained silent, and there was almost a black line on his forehead, feeling very embarrassed. This Wu Meiniang deliberately "showed affection" in front of Chen Yan, but Chen Yan was very patient and deliberately turned a blind eye... These two women were exhausted!
The maids had already dressed the hunting meat and slowly roasted it on the fire. The aroma of meat is strong, the charcoal stove is warm, the imperial wine has been warmed, and the mellow aroma begins to flow.
"Hehe, this meat needs to be roasted by yourself to make it delicious and fun." Wu Meiniang spoke up first, pulling Qin Mubai to get up, moaning, "Mubai, be good, I want to eat you Roasted meat!”
"Good?..." Qin Mubai grinned in embarrassment. He laughed awkwardly and had to stand up. He stepped forward and picked up a bunch of meat skewers to grill, and said, "Okay, I'll grill a skewer for you all."
"Stupid." Chen Yan smiled, "Of course the meat you roast can only be eaten by Mei Niang."
"Hehe, Sister Yan is absolutely right, Mu Bai, you are stupid!" Wu Meiniang giggled, clapped her hands and stood up, "Sister Yan, wait, I will bake it for you. Mu Bai is stupid, I must be very bad at cooking. I’ll grill some good meat for you!”
"Okay, I'll wait." Chen Yan smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but looked back at Chen Yan, only to see that she was still as calm as before, smiling at him with a hint of teasing.
"Hey, women's fighting skills are really full of wisdom and ingenuity! At this time, their IQs are catching up with Einstein's, right?" Qin Mubai sighed in his heart.
…
After eating a barbecue for an hour, it was already night.
Chen Yan said goodbye and left. Holding the sword in her arms, she held out her hands to Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang: "Sorry for bothering you, I hope you don't really hate me in your heart. Today's barbecue was really good, Mei Niang, you are so ingenious and versatile, Mu Bai can marry you You are a great blessing.”
"Hehe, sister Xie Yan compliments me! If sister likes it, you might as well come to see me often. I will definitely bake something for you again." Wu Meiniang returned the gift generously and said with a smile.
"Okay, I will." Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute." Wu Meiniang called out hurriedly, "Mu Bai, it's getting late and you should go back to the military camp. Why don't you give your sister a ride?"
"That's fine." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly: "Sister Yan, let's go?"
Chen Yan looked at Qin Mubai, smiled meaningfully and teasingly, and nodded: "That's fine."
"Then you can go well! Mu Bai, come early tomorrow! Sister Yan, if you have anything to do, you must come here to see me, I will stay here for a long time!" Wu Mei Niang said with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Yes." They both responded and walked towards the outside of the village.
Wu Meiniang waved goodbye to them, and just when she turned the corner, the housekeepers and maids around her became anxious and said hurriedly: "My boss, why did you take the initiative to let my general brother-in-law leave with that woman? A man and a woman alone in the middle of the night..."
"Because I trust him!" Wu Meiniang raised her face proudly, smiled easily, and went back to her room.
After leaving the villa, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan got on their horses, smiled at each other, clapped and rode forward.
"Mubai, cherish her." Chen Yan suddenly said, "Meiniang is a good girl. If you can marry her, it will be of great benefit to you in the future."
"how do I say this?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Because she is smart enough and is worthy of you in terms of appearance and talent. More importantly, she cares about you very much."
