"A wealthy family and a heroic figure are just two of the most basic conditions." Wu Meiniang was young, but she held up her hands behind her back and showed a scheming look. She spoke in an orderly manner with her green-green jade fingers. , "In addition, there are two most important conditions. First, my father was one of the eight prime ministers back then, and now he has been named a third-rank minister. He has always been the person I admire most, and my future My husband must not be worse than his old man."
"Then there's another one?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh. This is very similar to those beauties I came into contact with in my previous life who kept saying, "I want a car and a house." Although it is a bit of a city meeting, it is indeed a very real issue. Not surprisingly.
"Of course." Wu Meiniang raised her face like a proud little peacock and said loudly, "Although there are many famous officials in the world who regard money as dirt, I think nothing can be accomplished without money. Therefore, my future husband , and want to be richest in the world.”
"You are ranked third in rank as prime minister, and you want to be richest in the world?" Qin Mubai laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh! Humph!"
"Meiniang, I can promise you what you said. But remember, I am definitely not doing these things just for you, a woman. In other words, even if you don't put forward such conditions, I, Qin Mubai, will Working towards such a goal, I will achieve it one day." Qin Mubai said leisurely with a smile on his face, "But remember, no one can guarantee that I, Qin, will still be willing to marry you when that day comes. . In other words, you still have a chance to be a legal wife.”
"What did you say?!" Wu Meiniang's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had heard a piece of heavenly scripture.
"You heard it right, that's it. If you can't do something, there is no guarantee. This is the way I, Qin Mubai, always behave." Qin Mubai still smiled calmly and said, "As you said, if I get to that day , ranked third in official rank, prime minister, and richest in the world... Do you think there will still be a shortage of women around me? In this huge world, regardless of humans or animals, outstanding males always have more females, regardless of the dissatisfaction and jealousy of others. No words or words can change this fact. Who can guarantee that no other woman will get ahead of you?"
"W-what did you say?!" Wu Meiniang was shocked. She stared at Qin Mubai in shock and anger, unable to say another word.
"So." Qin Mubai still smiled, stretched out a hand, gently hooked her index finger on her beautiful round chin and lifted it up, saying softly like a lover's sweet words, "Although I fell in love with you at first sight and am willing to marry you, You must also be obedient and don't be naughty. Otherwise, you may end up with a divorce letter or the fate of being a concubine."
"..." Wu Meiniang was speechless. I wish I could open my mouth and bite off Qin Mubai's frivolous finger.
But although she was shocked and angry, she was still vaguely afraid. This man... hmm, he's quite domineering when it comes to bragging!
"Sure enough, she is stunningly beautiful, so beautiful and cruel." Qin Mubai raised the corners of his mouth gently, revealing a signature lustful and innocent smile. Withdrawing his hand, he breathed softly into Wu Mei Niang's ear and said, "However, my husband still hopes to grow old with you. Therefore, what I hope to see most is that you be obedient."
"Don't even think about it!" Wu Meiniang suddenly came back to her senses, suddenly jumped two steps back, and stared at him angrily. Wrongful and frightened, his eyes seemed to burst into tears.
What a fierce little horse, challenging. In the past, no matter what kind of woman I met, after half of the round, I should be obedient and submissive.
Qin Mubai looked at Wu Meiniang with the same smile and said, "Meiniang, you are mine after all. As long as I want you, you can't escape. We'll see."
"Hmph... It's hard to say!" Wu Meiniang snorted angrily and turned away. This time she was completely defeated, but she refused to admit defeat.
"Farewell." Qin Mubai cupped his hands and walked away with a loud laugh.
A woman like Wu Meiniang is like a beautiful rose that is unique in the world but covered with thorns. But watch it from a distance, don't play with it, and don't pick it, otherwise it will make people bleed.
But Qin Mubai has always liked picking flowers like this and never tires of it. Because the harder it is to get, the greater the sense of accomplishment will be after you get it. Therefore, he never visited prostitutes. He believed that only incompetent men would go to that kind of place to seek stallion-like outlet.
"Hey!!" After taking a few steps, Wu Meiniang suddenly called Qin Mubai from behind him again.
"Meiniang, do you have any advice?" Qin Mubai stopped, turned around and smiled.
"Although I hate you very much, today... I still want to thank you!" Wu Meiniang said this with great reluctance, then turned away with her arms crossed.
I dare Mrs. Yang to tell her everything that happened today.
"You can omit such words from now on." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Between husband and wife, do you still need to say thank you? It's like the left hand never says to thank the right hand. Goodbye!"
"..." Wu Meiniang was completely speechless, her teeth chattering slightly. After being stunned for a moment, Qin Mubai's figure had disappeared into the courtyard.
"This guy is really a complete prodigal, a big bad guy." Wu Meiniang stamped her feet, her face flushed, she was ashamed, annoyed, and a little bit dumbfounded, and said to herself, "Mother Why are you willing to marry me to such a guy? He also said that he is "a really smart and talented person." Well, in my opinion, he just has a clever mouth that can make people happy! , I don’t know how many women will surround him in the future, trying to compete with me... Oh, why would I want to do this? Who wants to marry that bad guy, huh!"
Qin Mubai walked to Prince Wu's Mansion and paused for a moment: Should I go through the main gate of the Prince's Mansion, or should I enter through the side door like I did at midnight in the morning
The soldier in the garrison in front of the mansion had already greeted him with fists in his arms: "Captain Qin, are you back?" Then he signaled with his eyes, asking Qin Mubai to enter through the main entrance.
"Well... I'm back after doing some things." Qin Mubai said as he walked towards the main entrance naturally. After taking a look at the pawn, he saw that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and lively eyes. He looked not unpleasant and seemed to be quite smart, so he asked: "What's your name?"
"My surname is Yin Dan. From now on, I will be the brigade commander under Colonel Qin. I ask the Colonel to take care of his promotion in the future." The soldier clasped his fists and bowed, and said in a low voice, "Colonel Qin, this morning it was actually that Fan The captain... Oh Bufan Jijiu deliberately made things difficult for you and refused to let you in through the front door. The young one saw it, but he dared not say anything. "
According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, ten men and one fire is the most basic unit, and the smallest officer is the fire chief; five fires are a team, and the chief is the team leader; two teams are a brigade, and the promoted officer is the brigade commander; two brigades are a regiment. Qin Mubai, the captain in charge of two hundred sergeants, was the highest officer of the regiment. And Yin Yang, the brigade commander, was his most direct subordinate, so no wonder he was so eager to get close to him.
Qin Mubai smiled to himself, reached out and patted Yin Yang's shoulder armor: "Is there another brigade commander?"
"Back to Xiaowei, Prince Wu's Mansion has just moved from Anzhou and was changed from the Governor's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion. The personnel structure of the Prince's Mansion's army is not very complete. Currently, there is only one brigade commander in a humble position." Yin Yang replied.
Qin Mubai's heart moved and he nodded: "I understand. There is a future, so work hard."
"Thank you Captain Qin!"
When Qin Mubai walked into the palace, Yin Yang started talking to the fellow soldiers around him: "Did you see that this Colonel Qin is much easier to get along with than the previous Colonel Fan!"
"That's right! Captain Qin, who was born into a noble family, treats others with courtesy and virtuousness. But that guy surnamed Fan looks at the sky all day long and shows off his official power, wishing that we would serve him like a grandfather all day long."
Qin Mubai vaguely heard the discussions of the sergeants behind him, and couldn't help but smile to himself: This is the style of being polite to the weak. Obviously Fan doesn't understand this. I still need a brigade marshal, wouldn’t Yuwen Hongtai be just right? I promised him before... to talk to Li Ke.
At this moment, Li Ke was lying comfortably on a soft chair in the courtyard, with a beauties waiting on him on each side. One person gently squeezed his shoulders, while the other stuffed delicate pastries into his mouth.
Very enjoyable, very dandy.
Not long after Qin Mubai came closer, Li Ke saw him first, sat up and waved his hands, and the two beauties beside him drifted away in understanding.
"Mu Bai, people should be in high spirits during happy events. Why do you look so bitter and resentful?" Li Ke laughed jokingly.
Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness, what song are you singing today? I really don't know if you were on a whim or if you had a plan."
"Let's put it this way, it's both." Li Ke laughed and said, "No matter what, Wu Zhao... Oh Wu Meiniang, she is a top-notch woman who can only be found but not sought. I thought in my heart, let her marry you Being a wife is very suitable, so I came up with a plan and it happened. "
Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head. He thought to himself: It is obvious that Li Ke is trying his best to do favors for me and the Qin family. His purpose is nothing more than to marry his fourth sister, Shuang'er... It's extremely easy for such a romantic guy to get a woman, so why does he have such a unique crush on Shuang'er
"Then I would like to thank Your Highness for your support." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and said, "Actually, I have a question that I would like to ask Your Highness for advice."
Li Ke waved his hands and stood up, holding his hands behind his back and walking away, signaling Qin Mubai to take a walk with him. As he walked, he said, "I know you want to ask me about Shuang'er, right?"
"Your Highness is smart."
"Mu Bai, I think you are also a passionate person. Let me ask you, no matter how romantic and lustful a man is, is there an indelible shadow in his heart?" Li Ke asked.
Qin Mubai was slightly startled and nodded.
Li Ke is right. No one is born romantic, everyone has been ignorant in youth, and everyone will have their own youthful first love.
First love means a lot to a man, and sometimes it goes deeper than a woman's feelings about sex.
"Shuang'er is irreplaceable to me." Li Ke smiled slightly and spoke softly. At this moment, his face no longer had that frivolous and frivolous look, but was replaced by the youthful look unique to a young man who was just beginning to fall in love.
"I understand." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled. It turns out that Shuang'er is Li Ke's first love, Green Apple.
No matter how passionate a man is, who doesn’t treasure his first love like a treasure
"Okay, let's stop here." Li Ke smiled, changed the topic that made him feel a little embarrassed, and said, "Today's banquet has been arranged and is being prepared. You can go home later and put the wings in person. The Duke and his wife have come to the banquet. I have been grounded all day and can’t do anything. It’s hard to find something to do, but it’s better to make it more lively so that everyone can be happy.”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Mubai agreed and told Li Ke about his plan to transfer Yuwen Hongtai to the Prince's Mansion.
Li Ke agreed casually, saying that for such a trivial matter, he could just send one of his men to take the post from Prince Wu's Mansion.
Qin Mubai thanked Li Ke and prepared to go home to invite his father and mother. When he went out, he left the matter to Yin Yang and went straight to the Duke Yi's Mansion.
When I got home, I found a lively scene.
Mother Liu and sister Shuang'er happily caught Qin Mubai and pulled him into the room to try on new clothes. Both of them put on gorgeous new clothes and eagerly urged Qin Mubai to take off his dark green official robe and put on a brocade robe cut from the best cloth shop in the West Market.
"Third brother, hehe, congratulations!" Shuang'er hugged her little pink fist and laughed, "I heard that you married the second daughter of the famous Wu family. She is a famous beauty! Hehe, that's great. Now, I’m going to have a sister-in-law!”
Before the fourth sister could finish her words, Mrs. Liu also smiled happily and said: "Son, my mother has finally been looking forward to this day! Don't say anything, come on, dress up nicely, and let's go to Prince Wu's Mansion as a guest. As a mother, you must see how beautiful this daughter-in-law is, whether she is lucky, and whether her butt is big enough to give birth to a child!"
Qin Mubai grinned in astonishment, not knowing whether to laugh or not, and said, "Mom, it's still early!"
"Haha! Why don't you just be happy for your mother first?" Mrs. Liu hugged her fourth sister, and the two of them laughed happily.
At this moment, a servant came to the door and said, "Third Young Master, I have asked you to come over!"
Qin Mubai arrived at his father's room and found Qin Shubao sitting on the couch in a daze, looking at the pile of clothes in front of him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's best if Sanlang is here." Qin Shubao coughed dryly. He wanted to be serious but said with an awkward smile, "Hurry up and help me choose what kind of clothes should I wear for my father to attend the banquet at Prince Wu's Mansion. ? Is it an official robe, a military uniform, a Hufu or a Jinxian crown? My father has not been out of the house for three or four years, so he is afraid of making people laugh if he is not dressed appropriately!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh for a moment. This is really a happy trouble! ... There are so many happy events, even my usually stoic dad seems to be really happy today!
