When the boat docked, Qin Mubai helped his mother get off the boat first. When my feet touch the ground, I feel a little at ease. After all, people belong to the land. After being on a boat for days, the feet are a little floating.
The people of Xiangyang also saw many such single-carrying boats docking at Baguidu. In addition, the Baiqi guards were also wearing casual clothes, so people just guessed which rich family might be coming. At most, I only glanced at it twice and didn't take it to heart.
However, Pang Fei excitedly arrived at the river bank. Regardless of the wet mud on the river bank and the cold winter weather, he shook off his front robe and knelt down on his knees, nodding to the ground and bowing, "Student, welcome my wife, my teacher!"
"Get up quickly, you don't have to be so polite." Qin Mubai stepped forward and pulled him up, looked at him carefully, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "I haven't seen you in more than a year, Pang Fei, you are a success."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master!" Although Pang Fei tried his best to stay calm, he still couldn't hide his excitement. He stepped forward to salute Mrs. Liu, Princess Gaoyang and Shuang'er, and then exchanged greetings with his Baiqi colleagues one by one to reminisce about the past.
Qin Mubai saw Su Lianqing standing aside with an old look, crossing her hands and looking at him with a lukewarm smile, so she walked up and said, "Old Su, long time no see, you are getting younger and younger as you live."
Su Lianqing was immediately happy and exasperated, and said twice in a row: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"
"If you can, spit out two of them for me to see?" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Where's Mei Niang?"
"Waiting at home!" Su Lianqing curled her lips, glanced at Princess Gaoyang who was supporting the Liu family with Shuang'er, and said sarcastically, "You are so romantic and happy, leaving Wu Dong's family alone in Xiangyang Regardless of whether you ask or not, aren’t you afraid of her cheating on you?”
Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "If I don't have any confidence at all, am I still worthy of being a Mei Niang's man?"
"Hey!" Su Lianqing sneered, "According to what you mean, it's impossible for Mei Niang to fall in love with any other man except you? And there won't be any other men to mess with Mei Niang?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If no other man likes or messes with a woman like Mei Niang, that would be a damn thing. But I have confidence in her."
"I really don't know why you have such confidence." Su Lianqing said angrily, "If there is a man who is thousands of times better than you, and he is determined to pursue Wu Meiniang at all costs until he reaches the Yellow River, I think you are still sitting there. Stay here!”
Qin Mubai smiled even more happily: "Such a man does not exist in the world."
"I'm so shameless!" Su Lianqing said angrily, "Far away in the horizon, but right in front of me! Now there is only one beside Mei Niang! From the perspective of my wife who has seen countless people, compared with you, this man is... That’s a phoenix compared to a sparrow!”
Qin Mubai frowned slightly and looked sideways at Su Lianqing, "Zheng Anshun?"
"Huh?" Su Lianqing was surprised, "You actually know? How about it, are you anxious or flustered?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai smiled easily and said, "Then I should be more relieved."
"Why?" Su Lianqing asked in confusion.
"Because I not only have confidence in Wu Meiniang, but also in Zheng Anshun." Qin Mubai said, "It is impossible for Wu Meiniang to cheat on her, and Zheng Anshun is a true gentleman."
"You're talking nonsense, I'm too lazy to tell you." Su Lianqing scolded Qin Mubai angrily, and said in a low voice, "I have already sent someone to ride back to inform my employer. She should be here now." She is preparing a banquet to welcome you and your family. Don’t blame her for not coming to welcome her in person. After all, she is a big girl, not a shameless man like Pang Fei.”
"My mind is not that narrow-minded yet." Qin Mubai looked back at Princess Gaoyang and others who were chatting with Pang Fei and smiled. He gestured to Su Lianqing to step aside and whispered, "Introduce a business to you."
Su Lianqing suddenly felt happy. The business introduced by Qin Mubai must be good business, so she said quickly and alertly: "Say!"
Qin Mubai came close to Su Lianqing's ear and said a few words quickly.
Su Lianqing turned her head and glared at Qin Mubai with furrowed brows, and shouted angrily: "I have already retired from the world, and I am doing this kind of thing that harms little men. Find someone else!"
"Then you don't want to do it?" Qin Mubai curled his lips and smiled indifferently, "I will take care of you because you are an acquaintance. Isn't it easy to find someone? Pretend I didn't say anything."
"Wait a minute." Su Lianqing's eyes rolled and she bit her lips and said, "You tell me first. What good will it do to me afterwards?"
Qin Mubai asked, "What do you want most now?"
"I want to be a sincere and good man, marry my mother, have children and live a happy life. He doesn't have to be too rich, and he can't be too poor." Su Lianqing blinked her blurry eyes that usually shone like a fox, which was rare and quite rare. He said somewhat sincerely, "You have to be a good man who doesn't care about my past."
Qin Mubai frowned, held his elbows with one hand, and touched his glowing chin with the other, and nodded, "Did you originally want to get married? It seems that this job is really hard to leave to you."
"I can help you find people and make arrangements secretly." Su Lianqing quickly added, "You are definitely not as good as me at doing this kind of thing. Besides, you are in the light and I am in the dark."
"This is exactly the reason why I'm looking for you." Qin Mubai looked at her sideways, "The manpower must make me feel at ease. All your actions must be carried out according to my instructions. There can be no deviation or mistake."
"No problem." Su Lianqing answered simply and neatly, and her usual frivolous expression and eyes changed into capable ones.
"After this is done, I will be responsible for arranging the rest of your life." Qin Mubai looked at her with a smile and said, "Whether you fall in love with a prime minister or a general, or a beggar and a refugee, whether you want a mansion in Chang'an or a homeless person, I can take care of the property in Xiangyang and even the future of your children."
Su Lianqing took a deep breath and nodded slowly. There was a hint of fear in Qin Mubai's eyes.
After so many years in the world, she has seen many different kinds of characters. Officialdom and shopping malls, black and white rivers and lakes, and all kinds of living beings in the world. All these made her understand the truth that coins will not fall from the sky, and the richer the reward means the greater the risk.
"Tell me, what will be the consequences if I mess up the matter?" Su Lianqing rolled her eyes, glanced at Princess Gao Yang and others, and whispered, "I have been walking around the world for so many years, and I have always confessed first, and then Buy and sell.”
Qin Mubai nodded, with the harmless smile still on his face, and said: "Since it's a business, let's say something ugly first. If you go out of your way in the slightest, make a mistake, or leak something that shouldn't be done, If something is leaked...then kill yourself decisively!"
Su Lianqing took a deep breath of the cold and humid air of Bakidu again, and nodded solemnly: "It's fair. It seems that my life is worth some money. Okay, I will take this business!"
At this time, Princess Gaoyang, Mrs. Liu and others had already come over. Qin Mubai said briefly, "You go find someone first. No one else is allowed to know about this except me."
"clear."
Princess Gao Yang came over, glanced at Su Lianqing, hurriedly pulled Qin Mubai aside, and whispered: "Mubai, why are you talking to this old witch all the time, but don't talk to her anymore?" ! Where are we going now?”
Qin Mubai smiled, and Pang Fei came up and cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, the student did not disturb the military government or the Yamen. He only rented a clean and elegant courtyard in the county for resting. The students arranged all the food and drink utensils themselves. Yes. Teacher, you can rest assured.”
"Well done." Qin Mubai nodded in praise and said, "Bring these Baiqi brothers over to accommodate them. Our family will go to Mei Niang's place to sit down first."
"Yes." Pang Fei promised with clasped fists.
"Want to go to Mei Niang's place? Okay!" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "I haven't seen her for a long time, I really miss her!"
Shuang'er laughed jokingly from the side: "Your Highness, don't you like it?"
"Of course not!" Princess Gaoyang raised her face proudly, "Meiniang, that's my person!"
The group of people were immediately speechless, and many people laughed secretly.
Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and patted her on the back: "Let's go! Don't act stupid here and behave like a fool. After all, you are a princess and you don't know what to say!"
After taking a boat for too long, Qin Mubai and others were unwilling to take a carriage or horse, insisting on walking. Then he walked from Baguidu to Xiangyang City and entered from Beicheng Port City.
The market is bustling with businessmen coming and going from Nanza Department Store, and the most popular items are fish and shrimp. It was the first time for Mr. Liu and Shuang'er to come to Xiangyang. It felt quite fresh. They were very excited about the sightseeing and the fatigue of the journey was almost forgotten. ,
Princess Gao Yang walked close to Qin Mubai and whispered: "Mubai, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"What's the question, please ask?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to leave Chang'an and travel?" Princess Gao Yang asked in confusion, "You don't care about Li Yuanchang's affairs?"
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Some irons need to be hammered while they are hot, and some special ones need to be cooled before hammering."
"You want to divert Li Yuanchang's attention and then do it secretly?" Princess Gao Yang said in surprise.
"Yes." Qin Mubai nodded gently and said, "The matter is relatively sensitive and cannot be solved with conventional methods. Take your time! - Now that we have arrived in Xiangyang, don't think about it anymore, be happy Let’s play!”
"That's fine!" Princess Gaoyang's childish nature was revealed, and she immediately changed her face and smiled, and the smile was quite weird, "I'm thinking right now, I will definitely hold Mei Niang and sleep together at night. What can you do?"
Qin Mubai blinked his eyes, deliberately glanced at the maid behind Princess Gaoyang and Su Lianqing not far in front, and said: "I can hug more people. Especially here in Xiangyang, there are more people crying. Shouting to hug me."
"you dare!"
At the gate of Qinxian Commercial House, Wu Meiniang stood within three feet of the gate, smiling with her hands on her lower abdomen, waiting patiently.
Zheng Anshun stood three feet outside the door, standing tall with his hands behind his hands, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the people passing by in front of him, also waiting.
Seeing Zheng Anshun, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but shook her head and smiled. This gentle and polite gentleman is far more stubborn than ordinary people. If not for his extraordinary magnanimity and magnanimity, who would be standing here waiting for his "big love rival" to arrive
Wu Meiniang knew that Zheng Anshun and Qin Mubai had a close personal relationship, and together with Li Ke, the three of them could be said to have the same affinity or sympathy for each other. But at this moment, she couldn't help but admire Zheng Anshun's broadmindedness and magnanimity.
Extraordinary people, indeed there is something extraordinary about them.
"Here we come." Zheng Anshun said softly, looked back at Wu Meiniang and smiled, "There are also his mother and sister, and Princess Gaoyang. Meiniang, which one will you worship first?"
Wu Meiniang blinked, "Of course, my mother-in-law."
