When leaving the Zheng family villa, Zheng Anshun gave Qin Mubai something, a small pure gold seal with the character "Zheng" on it with a strange background.
Qin Mubai knew that the work made by Zheng Anshun must not be ordinary. Although he didn't recognize this thing at the moment, he vaguely felt its weight.
"Brother Qin, just accept it. It's just a trivial thing, nothing worth mentioning as a souvenir." Zheng Anshun said with an understatement and a smile.
Qin Mubai accepted it generously, thanked Zheng Anshun, and got into the car with his family and meandered down the mountain.
After getting in the car, Wu Meiniang's face suddenly changed as she was used to seeing the world. She called Qin Mubai into the car and said to him: "Mubai, you know what Zheng Anshun gave you. ?"
"What's wrong?" Qin Mubai asked curiously, rarely seeing Wu Meiniang being so serious and nervous.
"Take it out." Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand, and Qin Mubai handed the golden seal to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and stamped a seal on her mouth, which was exactly the character "Zheng" in cursive seal with dragons and phoenixes flying in the air, and a surprisingly detailed special pattern, which was obviously difficult to copy.
"What's going on? What's so special?" Qin Mubai asked.
Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, with a serious face, and said: "A few days ago, Su Lianqing asked Zheng Anshun to extort money. Zheng Anshun probably didn't have much money with him at the time, so he took out this seal and put it on Su Lianqing's face. Lianqing put this seal on her hand and asked her to go to any Zhengji merchant to collect ten taels of gold."
"Oh?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What is the origin of this small golden seal?"
Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "Zheng Anshun actually gave it to you... It's really surprising!"
Qin Mubai's expression became a little more serious, and he nodded slowly, showing that he was aware of what this small golden seal meant.
With the gold seal in hand, Qin Mubai can take whatever he wants from the Zheng family's businesses all over the world. But obviously Zheng Anshun knew that Qin Mubai was not a person like Su Lianqing who was greedy for petty gains, and he was never short of money to spend. He definitely would not go to Zheng's business to withdraw how much money he wanted to spend to show off.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Anshun bet all the Zheng family's property on Qin Mubai!
This is a wealth that will stun anyone in the world, and it is also an ingenious bribe!
After figuring out the purpose of this gold seal, Qin Mubai also understood Zheng Anshun's intentions. Just now on the mountain, Zheng Anshun did not delve deeper into the topic of discussing the prince. It is the code of conduct for people like them to stop talking about the good points. It was at that time that Zheng Anshun had obviously made up his mind and used this gold seal to express the Zheng family's position.
It's hard to say who will eventually become Li Shimin's successor. As long as Li Shimin is alive, this will remain an unexplainable mystery. Therefore, the smart Zheng family did not bet on any "prospective prince", but instead bet on Qin Mubai, a new noble in the court who was quite qualified to become a future powerful minister.
Qin Mubai has no doubt that the Zheng family may have a multi-pronged approach. Now, in addition to him, Qin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Ji in the court are also likely to have such a gold seal in their hands. . Like Qin Mubai, they are by no means frivolous and shallow people, let alone short of money. In the end, no matter which prince comes to power or which minister takes power, the Zheng family can find a new umbrella to continue their wealth and peace.
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing to be nervous about, Mei Niang. I will give it to you, and you can just treat it as an ordinary golden pimple! But please keep it safe and don't expose it to others." That’s it for people to leak.”
"Hmm..." Wu Meiniang nodded knowingly, carefully wrapped it up and put it away, and said, "You will be more sensitive to holding such things on your body, so just leave it to me to keep it for you for the time being! Maybe one day, it will be safe for you. There will come a time when it will be useful.”
"I'll rest assured if I leave it to you. It's more secure than holding it myself." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile.
Wu Meiniang looked back at Qin Mubai tenderly. If it weren't for Liu's presence, she would have really wanted to throw herself into his arms and have a romantic relationship.
Mrs. Liu is someone who has been here before, so she doesn't know what children like them are thinking. He didn't say a word when they were talking just now, but now he laughed and said: "Sanlang, come to my mother's room in the evening. My mother has something to tell you."
"Yes, mother."
Back at Qinxian's Shop, Princess Gaoyang and Shuang'er, who were playing with birds all over the mountains and fields, complained that they were tired and sore, and went to take a bath one after another to prepare for an early rest. Qin Mubai accompanied his mother to her room and served her some tea.
Last night, mother slept with Shuang'er, while Wu Meiniang was dragged into the room by Princess Gaoyang. At this time, the three girls stopped taking a bath. Mrs. Liu took Qin Mubai's hand, smiled an unprecedented smile and said in a low voice: "Sanlang, do you miss Meiniang?"
"Ahem... Mom, what are you talking about? We've already met, what else do you want to miss?" Qin Mubai smiled awkwardly. This is the first time that I have discussed such a sensitive topic with my mother. After all, mother is different from father, and there must be a gap in this regard.
"Silly boy, are you still playing tricks in front of your mother?" Ms. Liu laughed and scolded, "I can see it all, you and Mei Niang are in love with each other. Just now in the carriage, you really want to be like your mother. Remove old bones from sight."
"Ho... ho ho!" Qin Mubai smiled naively with a bitter face, "Mom, it doesn't happen, don't make blind guesses!"
"Okay, okay, Mom is here. There's nothing you don't know, so don't hide it in front of me." Ms. Liu said with a smile, "Princess Gaoyang is a weird girl. She doesn't have much time to talk to you these days because of the crowd. You must be so close to me that you won’t let Wu Meiniang touch you when you come to Xiangyang. You must leave her alone and have sex with Meiniang earlier. She is pregnant with a boy and a girl, and she is anxious to hold her grandson.”
"Uh..." Qin Mubai's face turned red.
"Why, are you still shy?" Ms. Liu laughed and said, "Don't worry, my mother will arrange it for you! In short, let Wu Meiniang give birth to the child for you first, I believe she will not feel wronged! Marriage is an important matter, After all, it’s the parents who make the decision. Princess Gaoyang has the emperor in charge, and we can’t disobey her, but it’s always easy to let Wu Meiniang give birth to the child—it’s settled!”
"This, this..." Qin Mubai was speechless for a moment, so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground. Originally, he was not a good character. He was a male thief and a female prostitute, and he really wanted to get the hot Wu Mei Niang into bed as soon as possible. But after his mother arranged it like this, he always felt that he was not suitable. He felt like a heirloom... Foot pig.
"Stop squeaking. When the three of them finish taking a bath, I will call Wu Meiniang to sleep with me. I believe Princess Gaoyang will not dare to say anything." Mrs. Liu smiled like an old chrysanthemum in bloom, as if Still a little bad, he said, "Just wait in the room. Then, go to another room to rest for your mother."
"Ahem... This is still not good. There's no need to rush!" Qin Mubai got up and left after saying that. This was so embarrassing!
Mrs. Liu held his shoulders down and said, "Sit down and don't move - I'll call your wife!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, keeping the door tightly closed and actually leaving it unlocked. Qin Mubai was about to cry but had no tears. She felt like a little daughter-in-law who was forced into marriage, waiting for the overlord to come.
The night was getting darker, and every minute was getting a little uncomfortable. Qin Mubai fidgeted around the room as if he had hemorrhoids. After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor and a woman's voice was heard.
"I feel sorry for you, Princess, to rest alone today. I have something to talk to Mei Niang."
"Oh..." Princess Gao Yang's voice was obviously doubtful and unwilling, but she had no choice but to say, "But according to your aunt's instructions, I will go to rest first. Auntie and Mei Niang, please rest early."
"Send it to the princess."
Qin Mubai's heart almost rose to his throat, and he said in a confused voice, "Is this okay? I'm obviously helping me to have an affair!"
Walking to the door, Wu Meiniang said in surprise: "Auntie, why is this door still locked?"
"Meiniang, don't ask. Auntie will open the door for you. You will know when you get in." After saying that, the lock was heard and the door was opened.
Qin Mubai lit a lamp in the room and sat at the table, smiling bitterly. When Wu Meiniang saw him, her face suddenly turned red: "This..."
"Don't ask, just go in!" Mrs. Liu pushed Wu Meiniang in with a smile, locked the door without any explanation, and whispered outside the door: "Tomorrow morning, I will come and open the door for you, hehe!"
Qin Mubai was petrified on the spot: I never expected that my mother would be so disrespectful!
Wu Meiniang stood at the door in a daze, her head lowered in embarrassment, her face flushed, which made her even more charming under the light.
"Ahem... Mei Niang, come and sit down!" Qin Mubai stood up and called out stupidly.
"Oh..." Wu Meiniang smiled awkwardly, walked over unnaturally and sat down. The two of them fell into silence at the same time. It seemed that they had thousands of words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.
"Drink tea." Qin Mubai poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Wu Meiniang reached out to take it and drank the tea without daring to look at Qin Mubai. There was something bright in the eyes, and there was a faint spring | love overflowing, which made Qin Mubai even more excited.
Thinking of his mother's weird behavior, Qin Mubai couldn't help but want to laugh again, but he was afraid that Wu Meiniang would be more embarrassed, so he had to hold it back. Wu Meiniang seemed to think it was quite absurd. The two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time. The awkward atmosphere at the scene suddenly eased a bit, and the two of them took a deep breath at the same time.
Could this scene now be the spring moment that the two of them had been looking forward to for a long time
Qin Mubai naturally held Wu Meiniang's hand and said with a smile: "Meiniang, in the blink of an eye, we have been engaged for three or four years. For such a long time, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband. I really feel wronged by you. ”
"Don't say that, vulgar." Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Originally, you are not a swallow magpie who is greedy for nest branches, but a Kunpeng soaring in the sky. If any woman wants to willfully It’s a sin for you to be tied to me all the time, and I’m not worthy of being your woman.”
Qin Mubai was slightly startled. Several other women appeared in his mind involuntarily. Princess Gaoyang, Chen Yan, and even Yao'er. None of them had ever asked Qin Mubai to do anything for them. Sacrifice, but tolerance and expectations for him as always.
Wu Meiniang's words were a little helpless and a little bitter, but they were indeed to the point. Qin Mubai also knew that he was not the kind of man who would give up the entire forest for a tree. To put it harshly, he was very carefree. It was rare that he was lucky enough to meet women like Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang, who always treated him tolerantly.
Such a woman is good news to men. With Qin Mubai's current reputation and status, it is not difficult to get a concubine with a hundred rooms. But he would not do this, because women like Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang are only a minority in the world. With such a top-notch woman accompanying her, how can other vulgar fans like her
"Meiniang, I'm so lucky." Qin Mubai gently held Wu Meiniang's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it softly.
Wu Meiniang's whole body trembled slightly, her head lowered, and her red face seemed to be about to squeeze out water.
After this kiss, Qin Mubai felt that his blood was about to boil. Thinking back to the "love affair" with Princess Gaoyang, which was extremely absurd and bizarre, tonight, I must leave a beautiful memory for myself and Wu Meiniang!
He sat closer, reached around Wu Meiniang's shoulders and gently hugged her close, and gently used his fingers to tease the bun beside her ears. Wu Meiniang unexpectedly lost her composure and tensed up all over, lowering her head lower. In the past, the two had passionate hugs and even passionate kisses.
But tonight, this situation was too ambiguous. Wu Meiniang's heartbeat was unprecedentedly surging, and her mind was almost blank.
Even if she is a strong woman, she still has the prefix nv. After all, she is a woman, and a woman who has just begun to fall in love. At this moment, Wu Meiniang was extremely nervous.
Qin Mubai's lips came very dishonestly to Wu Meiniang's face, and he cunningly kissed her earring gently in his mouth. He stuck out his tongue and was about to lick her earlobe.
At this time, the door was suddenly banged - "Qin Mubai, come out!"
As if she had been caught on the spot as a thief, Wu Meiniang jumped up immediately. She was helpless and blushed to the base of her neck. She covered her face with her hands and turned her head away in shame.
"Holy shit!" Qin Mubai swallowed hard and couldn't help but cursed at the door, "Ling'er, go to bed!"
"Okay, it's indeed inside, humph!" Princess Gao Yang cursed through gritted teeth outside the house, "If you don't open the door, I will break in!"
"You're blind, the door is locked!" Qin Mubai shouted back angrily.
"Then... open the window! I, the princess, climb in, hehe!" After saying that, Princess Gao Yang actually ran to the window and slapped the window hard as if she could not die.
At the corner of the corridor in the distance, Ms. Liu clapped her hands and stamped her feet with a wry smile: "How can this little aunt be smarter than a monkey and still be so capable of mischief?"
"Open the window quickly! This princess is here to catch someone cheating, haha!" Princess Gao Yang smiled more and more unscrupulously.
Wu Meiniang was so ashamed that she simply sat down and smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed.
Qin Mubai was itching with hatred and shook his head helplessly, so he had to step forward and open the window. Princess Gao Yang immediately appeared, with a sly smile on her face, pointing at Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang with her fingers, and said: "Okay! Secretly! Hide and play, don’t call me a thief, a stinky man, why don’t you bring me in? Do you want to bully Mei Niang who is so weak?”
