After talking to Li Shimin, Qin Mubai specially played with Li Zhi and Li Mingda in the back garden for a while. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but the two little princes were particularly affectionate towards him, and their excitement was palpable. Li Shimin happily watched them play together, saying that he was almost jealous because the relationship between Qin Mubai and them was so harmonious and close.
Before leaving, Qin Mubai promised them that if he had free time, he would come to the palace to play with them. Li Shimin also said that Qin Mubai had just come back after being busy with business for a long time, so he had to go home to rest for a few days. He also promised the Li Zhi brothers and sisters that if he, the emperor, had free time, he would also visit the Qin family and would definitely take them with him.
The two little princes were now satisfied.
When leaving the palace, Qin Mubai was almost whistling, feeling extremely relaxed and happy. In the past few months, troubles and troubles, big and small, have never stopped, and now I am finally relieved. After handling the Jiangzhou matter, the near-miss crisis on Princess Gaoyang's side has been temporarily lifted. Qin Mubai can really enjoy his vacation.
It was almost dusk at this time, Qin Mubai went to the Baiqi Army Camp, informed Li Junxian and others, took the salute, rode on the BMW, and went home.
Qin Mubai felt a burst of joy in his heart when he thought of his parents, little sister, and the mansion that the emperor had given him before he could even stay for a night. There are also Yao'er and the group of orphans who borrowed money to live in Qin's house, the lively No. 1 Wine in the World, Wu Meiniang who has also returned to Chang'an, and Princess Gaoyang who she can't talk to about... During this vacation, I'm afraid it's just... To spend time with these people.
When passing by his mansion, Qin Mubai did not enter, but went straight to Qin's mansion. When we arrived at the house, just as the sun was setting and the lights were dimming, the servants of the Qin family were sweeping the courtyard, and a group of little girls were chasing each other back and forth in the courtyard, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
As soon as Qin Mubai stepped into the courtyard, a sharp-eyed servant shouted in surprise: "Master! The third master is back!! Master, madam, fourth lady, the third master is back!!"
With this shout, everyone in the courtyard was startled. The group of little girls playing in the courtyard also knew Qin Mubai, and they all rushed forward and surrounded him with smiles, chattering and laughing non-stop. After dinner, Qin Shubao and his wife, Qin Shubao and his fourth sister, Qin Shuang'er, who were having a tea break in the banquet hall, all came out and were surprised.
Qin Mubai quickly stepped forward to bow to his parents, and the family was enjoying themselves.
There is no Yao'er in the house. I think at this time, she should have gone to perform at the No. 1 Liquor in the World to make a living.
"Sanlang, I've been away from home for several months, and I'm finally back. Are you used to it outside? Have you lost weight?" Mother Liu asked Qin Mubai to greet her in short and long sentences, and no one else could interrupt. .
It was lively for a while and finally stopped. Mrs. Liu and Shuang'er went to clean up Qin Mubai's bedroom and prepare some midnight snacks. The father and son sat opposite each other in the study, chatting as usual.
"Sanlang, there was originally a big incident involving you in Chang'an, and my father was worried that you would be affected. Now it seems that you are safe and sound, and you have received a reward." Qin Shubao breathed a sigh of relief and said easily. , "You are so strong now that you can mess with the marriage granted by the emperor. You are so brave!"
"Haha, father blamed me wrongly." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "I have never seduced Princess Gaoyang from beginning to end. It was her..."
"What nonsense! A real man should take some responsibility. Now that the matter has come to this, how can you shirk your responsibility?" Qin Shubao said with a look of anger and a smile, "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise."
Qin Mubai's heart suddenly lit up and he said, "Father, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has already told you something?"
"What are you talking about? What can you say?" Qin Shubao also tried to be inscrutable and kept silent.
Seeing this situation, Qin Mubai thought with his feet and understood that the emperor must have informed Qin Shubao about the marriage.
Qin Shubao has always been looking forward to one of his sons marrying a princess. Among the founding heroes, Qin Shubao was as famous for his functions as others, but he had never been able to get a marriage from the emperor. This may have always been a worry in his heart. Nowadays, there is no need for the emperor to confer marriage. The emperor's favorite daughter would rather die than marry the second son of the Fang family, and work hard to marry Qin Mubai - this is really shameless!
In the eyes of others, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were the emperor's most trusted confidants; but in Qin Shubao's heart, he must have really taken them seriously. The old ministers who were both following the emperor were shoulder to shoulder and the same height when they came together, and they were secretly comparing themselves to each other. It's interesting now. The emperor granted her a marriage room of a certain age, but the princess refused to marry and insisted on joining the Qin family.
This incident made Qin Shubao feel bright on his face. As for the farce and rumors, he didn't bother to care. Anyway, it was only Fang Yiai who made a fool of herself, and her son didn't take any extraordinary initiative. The only blame for this is that Qin Mubai is too good-looking, too capable, and too popular with women.
Thinking of this level, Qin Shubao felt a little happy: Isn't it because he looks like me? !
Therefore, Qin Shubao was worried about the princess's marriage that caused an earth-shattering incident in Chang'an, but he was happy in his heart.
His thoughts were clearly revealed in his words and deeds. After Qin Mubai tasted it, he secretly found it funny: It seems that dad is quite in favor of me poaching Fang's family, right? … Here comes the problem. It can be seen that the old man is very happy to marry the emperor, but what about Wu Meiniang, who is married first? It seems that her father has never been very interested in her.
From a personal and subjective point of view, Qin Mubai is willing to marry Wu Meiniang first and make her his wife. Wu Meiniang is smart and capable, and with a little training she will become a qualified housekeeper. Moreover, the two of them got along in Jiangzhou some time ago, and their relationship has been developing rapidly and they have a lot of tacit understanding.
In contrast, although Princess Gao Yang was deeply in love with her and couldn't bear to abandon her, if she was allowed to be the head of the family... ahem, that would be a big deal.
Besides, Wu Mei Niang is ice-smart and Princess Gao Yang is passionate. Whether these two can get along is still a big question!
"Hey, what a headache! When did I incur so many romantic debts?" Qin Mubai was secretly worried.
The father and son chatted a lot about military affairs, politics and folk customs from all over the world. During this period, it was mentioned that the emperor heard about Qin Shubao's improvement in condition, and had promised to come to the Qin family to visit the family, and expressed his expectation for Qin Shubao to return to the army.
Qin Shubao was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "This is also because you have made a meritorious service this time and have brought glory to the Qin family. I, the father, have also benefited from it. Furthermore, the emperor must be interested in you and Princess Gaoyang." The marriage has been considered, so I intend to support my Qin family and improve my Qin family's family status. I also heard a few days ago that His Majesty the Emperor is planning to issue the "Clan Chronicle" to re-rank the major surnames in the world. The reason is because it is still the same. Following the family customs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the former Sui Dynasty, although many of the Conglong heroes became generals and ministers, they were still inferior to the old aristocratic families in the eyes of officials. In "Chronicles of the Clan", the surname Li. Naturally, it is the most respected surname, and other surnames such as Changsun and Fang Du, including my Qin family's Qin family, are all ranked first. As a result, my Qin family's family status will rise in the future. "
Qin Mubai was not very interested in these, but such customs were prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, and there was nothing he could do about it. It's as if you are a dog from a wealthy family, and you are a little more arrogant than other people's dogs. Even if you are a beggar sleeping on the street, as long as your ancestors have something to do with a famous family, some people will respect you.
Qin Shubao lives in such an era and environment, so it is reasonable for him to care a little about it. Qin Mubai was not disgusted, nor could he support it.
"This year you have been busy for a whole year without much rest and rarely come home. The new year is approaching and the emperor has given you a holiday. You just happen to be at home to spend time with your mother and little sister." Qin Shubao said, "Besides, for My father’s health is getting better and better. I want to find someone to practice martial arts every day, but there is no opponent. From today on, you will go to the backyard with me to practice martial arts every day!”
"Yes, father." Qin Mubai accepted the promise, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, this time I went to Jiangzhou and brought back a strange person! If father sees him, he will definitely be interested. "
"What kind of stranger?" Qin Shubao asked curiously.
"This man's martial arts skills are astonishing. The child thought to himself that he is no match for him." Qin Mubai deliberately provoked Qin Shubao and said, "Looking at the world, I am afraid that only my father in his prime can rival him. ”
"No ambition!" Qin Shubao scolded, "Bring him here, as a father, I want to learn from him personally. Is it possible that Qin Qiong, who is fifty years old, is really useless?!"
"Yes, father." Qin Mubai accepted, feeling happy: Father PK Xue Rengui... What an exciting thing this must be!
When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. Who is more powerful among these two? My father is now past his prime, and his martial arts skills are far from what he was back then. But after all, he has been fighting on the battlefield all his life, and his actual combat experience is more than ten thousand times that of Xue Rengui; Xue Rengui is still young and vigorous, and has an advantage in fighting spirit and physical strength...
Every warrior, especially a peak warrior like Xue Rengui who pursues perfection, would be happy to meet a suitable opponent. Coupled with the fact that my father is famous all over the world, I will definitely come if I invite him. After the two of them compete, no matter whether they win or lose, it will definitely be an interesting event worthy of being recorded in history!
The famous general Qin Shubao from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty VS Xue Rengui, the famous general from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Both of them are fierce generals who are brave enough to defeat all armies - what a classic showdown this will be!
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai was secretly excited. I was thinking that I would go to Mei Niang's house tomorrow and invite Xue Rengui and his wife to be guests!
