Love Affairs in Chang’an

Chapter 337: Celebrating New Year in Xiangyang

Views:

[New Year’s greetings to everyone! Starting today, normal updates will resume. ]

Although it is an ordinary private house, it is not an ordinary shabby room from the outside. Su Lianqing and the other three girls stayed here for many days. Every item in the room was fully furnished without losing any detail.

Although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. Su Lianqing never treats herself badly. But she didn't expect that Qin Mubai would suddenly drive her away, and then occupy the magpie's nest and use this place as his golden house to hide his love.

In the room, a charcoal fire was burning brightly. Qin Mubai made tea by himself for the first time in his life, and kept praising him for his good craftsmanship. The pot of tea brewed by him was indeed fragrant.

It was a cold night and Wu Meiniang was wearing Qin Mubai's mink fur cloak. She was holding a hot tea cup in her hands, with a warm and slightly intoxicated smile on her face.

"Mu Bai, you said you have something very important and private to discuss with me, can you talk about it now?" Wu Meiniang took a sip of tea and said.

"Isn't that what you are talking about!" Qin Mubai used a pair of silver chopsticks to hold two pieces of new charcoal burned in Jingshan Mountain this year. He smiled a little evilly, put down his chopsticks, clapped his hands and sat down next to her, saying, " I recently learned a new skill, how about making tea? "

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

As he spoke, Qin Mubai moved his buttocks so that he was next to Wu Meiniang, and he could feel her unique body fragrance and softness.

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, subconsciously moved her body further away from him, and cursed: "I know you are not serious. What are you trying to do by tricking me?"

"What else can a man and a woman do when it's cold and freezing on a freezing night?" Qin Mubai grinned with a wicked smile.

"Bah! Don't even think about it!" Wu Meiniang spat, but her face turned red to the root of her neck. She put down her teacup and stood up.

Qin Mubai laughed heartily, full of animality!

There are many men like Qin Mubai, they are all strange creatures. The more arrogant and unyielding a woman is, the more exciting she is to them.

I have known Wu Meiniang for a long time, and she has always been the type that Qin Mubai likes. However, this woman is very smart, even shrewd, and never gives in easily. In the past, it was definitely a special case for Qin Mubai to have been ambiguous with a woman for so long without getting over it.

So while laughing, Qin Mubai grabbed Wu Meiniang's catkin without mercy, and pulled it with some secret force, causing Wu Meiniang to scream and fall down.

Qin Mubai took advantage of the situation and reached out to support her soft waist. Suddenly, the beauty was in his arms, with their eyes facing each other and their lips facing each other, only a short inch away.

Wu Meiniang was shocked, frightened and annoyed. Seeing Qin Mubai's face so close to hers that she could feel his breath, she suddenly panicked again and hurriedly turned around to break away and stand up.

But Qin Mubai's strength was definitely not something she could compete with. Qin Mubai, who was usually gentle and gentle, suddenly became a little unreasonable and domineering at this moment. He hugged her tightly and held her in his arms to prevent her from breaking away.

"Let go and let me get up!"

"Don't let me go. If I let me go, my ancestors of the Qin family will jump out from under the ground and scold me for being incompetent and insulting my ancestors!"

"It's full of nonsense!" Wu Meiniang couldn't help being amused by his nonsensical and glib tone.

Her joy seemed to give Qin Mubai more confidence for his wildness, making him even more unbridled. He held Wu Meiniang firmly in his arms with one hand on his shoulders and the other on her waist. At this moment, he began to twist her around with all his strength. The two were facing each other chest-to-chest, hugging her tighter.

Wu Meiniang's chest was already extremely full. Even though she was covered with thick clothes, Qin Mubai could still clearly feel the heat radiating from her plump jade peaks and the feminine aura that made her blood boil. .

Wu Meiniang also noticed Qin Mubai's sinister intentions, and was immediately embarrassed. She hurriedly held Qin Mubai's face with her hands and twisted her body to distance herself from him.

However, her struggle seemed a little weak. On the contrary, this little resistance made Qin Mubai's blood boil.

Wu Meiniang vaguely felt that she was "doomed", and her breath was a little disordered in shame and anxiety. She hurriedly said: "Mu Bai, I don't like this. If you don't let go, I will be really angry!"

"Hehe!" Qin Mubai laughed, and he honestly let go of his arms and stopped hugging her so tightly. Wu Meiniang didn't get up, and she still lay on her back in his arms. He smiled at her and said, "Mei Niang, can you just lie down like this and talk to me? We have never been alone in Xiangzhou for so long. You know, I have a lot to say to you." "

The corners of Wu Meiniang's lips raised, and she smiled helplessly. She didn't really get up, but moved her body a few times to make herself lie down more comfortably. She simply pulled the mink fur cloak that fell to the ground and covered her body. Both hands pulled the big leather cloak from the inside and used it as a "shield" to protect the sensitive parts of the chest. Only then did he feel relieved and said a little naughtily: "Okay, you tell me, I will listen."

Seeing her armed like this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but couldn't help laughing or crying, and said, "Is this necessary? Just like guarding against thieves?"

"You are a thief." Wu Meiniang giggled, "If I hadn't been smart, clean and self-respecting, I would have fallen in love with you and become one of the ruined willows you played with. Qin Mubai, you are a slut, I am your unmarried daughter-in-law, do you want to treat me as a frivolous woman?"

"Look at what you said, it seems like your man is really some kind of prodigal son." Qin Mubai said with a heartbroken smile, "Actually, you know me. Although I am easy to attract bees and butterflies, I am not completely innocent. Principle. If those women like me, that’s their business, what do you think

"You are really shameless and shameless!" Wu Meiniang glared at him with both annoyance and amusement, stretched out her hand from her cloak and patted his face symbolically, and swung her hands left and right as if to slap him, she said angrily. , "Do you think I don't know about the things you did?"

"What did I do? Tell me!" Qin Mubai suddenly became angry from embarrassment, grabbed her hand and shouted. But I felt a little guilty: What does this guy know after staying in Xiangzhou for so long

"You really want to say it?" Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes, her eyes were quite unkind and threatening, with an expression like "I've got your handle, don't be arrogant with me".

"Say it, absolutely say it!" Qin Mubai said forcefully.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I said, don't regret it."

"It's the pig that regrets it!" Qin Mubai spoke quickly and said it. As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

As expected, Wu Meiniang laughed, pointed her finger at Qin Mubai's forehead bitterly, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, okay, you really can't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Do you think I am so easy to deceive and deceive because I am Princess Gaoyang? Are you here?" When Xiangyang was an official, Princess Gaoyang and I were not around. Tell me, who was the woman next to you at that time? "

"Huh? No."

"Really?"

"This is really not true."

"You fart!" Wu Meiniang was so angry and funny that she couldn't help but swear, "Qin Mubai, you are such a tough-talking guy! - Let me ask you, what's going on with the small building in the southern suburbs?"

Qin Mubai's heart skipped a beat: Sure enough, I know!

"Hehe..." Qin Mubai's expression froze for a moment, and he laughed dryly, "Where is the small building?"

"Okay, you continue to be stubborn to the end, even if you die, you won't admit it!" Wu Meiniang scolded angrily with a smile, "Who was the hero who saved the beauty and released the heroine from prison? Then Jin Wuzang was raised in the southern suburbs of Xiangyang. In the small building? Qin Mubai, you don’t have to do this to deceive yourself, right? Almost everyone in Xiangyang knows this, and you still want to keep it in the dark? "

"Uh... She and I are just close friends." Qin Mubai sniffed and continued to laugh dryly, with a simple and honest look on his face.

"Yes, you are such a good confidant. I'm going to give you a baby, and I said that the baby will be called 'Xiaolou' regardless of gender. You two close friends really have a close relationship!" Wu Mei Niang bit her red lips. , looking at that expression, I wanted to jump up and hit Qin Mubai twice.

There is no woman in the world who is not jealous - Qin Mubai has always thought so.

"Cough, cough! Meiniang, please calm down, it was all a misunderstanding! ... And it's all in the past." Qin Mubai knew that Wu Meiniang must have known everything. It was impossible to say, but Su Lianqing must have betrayed her. In order to please Wu Meiniang, a new customer, selling some tidbits about Qin as a show of loyalty was absolutely normal according to Su Lianqing's style.

"Well, it's all over?" Wu Meiniang curled her lips and continued to stare at him and said, "Then who did you sleep with in the past few days?"

Qin Mubai's heart was really tight now, and he quickly said: "I was sleeping at Pang Fei's place - if you don't believe me, just ask, they can all testify!"

"Fart, stinky fart, big stinky fart!" Wu Meiniang was immediately furious, stretched out her jade hand and pinched the soft flesh on Qin Mubai's belly, and twisted it hard. Qin Mubai screamed in pain and almost jumped up. .

"Qin Mubai, you are so dishonest! Believe it or not, I will divorce you?"

Qin Mubai was really on the verge of crying now. He thought to himself, could it be that Wu Meiniang has already known everything in Xiangyang, and she knows that I have asked Princess Gaoyang's maids to sleep with me in recent days

"Haha!" But instead of being afraid, Qin Mubai laughed loudly and said, "Mei Niang, do you know everything?"

"You guy, you can still laugh, you are not ashamed?" Wu Meiniang was angry and funny, her face turned red, her hands kept twisting everywhere on his body, and she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Do you know how many Are you scolding me for being a libertine? Okay, that's great! You really are a good and romantic man, but he has to have two women to take care of you at night - why is Princess Gaoyang like this? I'll pamper you, pamper you, and let you do whatever you want?"

"I... I was forced to do this!" Qin Mubai said with a sad face.

"That's unreasonable!" Wu Meiniang was really angry. She punched him twice in the chest and cursed, "It's so shameless that you claim to be forced! - Tell me, who forced you?"

"Just Princess Gaoyang!" Qin Mubai said loudly, "When she saw me coming to Xiangyang, she was afraid that I would get tired of being with you and ignore her, and she would be jealous! So, she always sticks to you and won't let you go. She also sent her maid to trap me tightly, preventing me from being alone for a moment."

"Are you afraid that you will go to the alleys and alleys to have fun?"

"How is that possible!" Qin Mubai said sternly, "I, Qin, are a romantic, but I am absolutely classy! I have never messed with promiscuous women! This is something that everyone can learn from, I can swear to it!"

"Then you..." Wu Meiniang paused mid-sentence, as if she was a little embarrassed and couldn't speak. After holding back her laughter for a while, she covered her mouth and looked at Qin Mubai with flashing eyes, and said, "Two girls every night, Aren’t they drained and useless?”

"How can it be!"

Qin Mubai suddenly shouted.

A man may not be handsome, but he must not be "not good". After all, Wu Meiniang is a girl who has not left the court. Although she has knowledge in this field, she has no experience after all. This sentence was said unintentionally out of curiosity, but it violated a man's taboo. For a while, Qin Mubai was aroused to the point of evil!

"For many days in a row, Ye Yu's two girls, do you think you are really tough?" Although Wu Meiniang is extremely smart, she is a little confused at this moment, and she said this again.

"They just... looked at me, I didn't do anything to them!" Qin Mubai said shamelessly.

"Do you think I don't believe it or not?" Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered, full of doubt.

Qin Mubai's mouth suddenly became dry and his eyes were bright as he hummed: "Then you want to give it a try?"

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, "Do you dare?"

"Holy shit!!!"

In an instant, Qin Mubai's blood boiled!

With teeth bared and claws dancing, Qin Mubai was about to punish Wu Meiniang on the spot when he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the door. It was obvious that someone had kicked her.

Accompanied by the roar of the lion from Hedong - "Thief military academy, stinky man! If you don't want to die, open the door quickly!"

Qin Mubai was dumbfounded and looked at Wu Meiniang, "Why are you so unafraid of death today? It turns out that you have already hired help and set up an ambush?"

"Of course." Wu Meiniang got out of Qin Mubai's arms with a smile, stood upright gracefully, pulled up her mink cloak and said with a gleeful smile, "Think about how to explain it to Her Highness Princess Gaoyang! You She must have heard everything I said just now."

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes with a stiff expression, and couldn't help but smile gently, "I said you two are really interesting! Forget it today. But you think too highly of Princess Gaoyang. This girl, can What will happen to me?"

After saying that, Qin Mubai stood up and opened the door.

The door was opened, and Princess Gao Yang almost ran in. She gritted her teeth and stared at Qin Mubai angrily, saying bitterly: "You guy, seriously, seriously..."

"What is it?" Qin Mubai smiled, and his calmness was completely beyond Princess Gao Yang's expectation, and said, "Gao Yang, if you don't sleep obediently in the middle of the night, why are you watching here?"

"I..." Princess Gao Yang was speechless for a moment. What should I say

"What are you doing?" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, "Are you here to catch someone raping again?"

"that is!"

"It's you!" Qin Mubai shouted angrily, "You are my wife, and Mei Niang is also my unmarried daughter-in-law. Both of you are my Qin Mubai's women, who will catch and rape whom? Still like this? It’s not shameful to make such a big noise! Do you have to make my Qin family’s chickens and dogs unhappy?”

Princess Gao Yang was a little frightened for a moment. Qin Mubai had never scolded her so openly. She was aggrieved and surprised and looked at Qin Mubai with her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise, disbelief, and of course anger.

The four maids behind Princess Gao Yang were also a little surprised. All this time, no matter how much Princess Gaoyang behaved, Qin Mubai never reprimanded the princess. Today... this is really unprecedented!

Wu Meiniang was also a little unexpected. Originally, it was just because Princess Gao Yang accidentally broke up her "secret date" with Qin Mubai that she had no choice but to agree to let Princess Gao Yang be the little tail to play a prank on Qin Mubai. Unexpectedly, she really made him angry.

"Mu Bai, what are you doing? Everyone is just joking!" Wu Meiniang hurriedly came forward to smooth things over.

Qin Mubai didn't want to use the topic at all, he just wanted to seize the initiative first and not be bullied by the two women. At this time, he walked down the slope, but his face was still a little cold, and he said: "It's so late at night, don't worry about freezing. Come inside and warm yourself by the fire."

After saying that, Qin Mubai went to hold Princess Gaoyang's hand.

Princess Gaoyang's hand was very cold and she was pulled, but she still stood still. Qin Mubai glared and used some hidden force. Princess Gaoyang trembled, walked in obediently, and sat down by the stove. Wu Meiniang also hurriedly came over, took off her mink skin, and put it on her knees together with Princess Gaoyang to keep warm.

"Hey, it failed again..." Qin Mubai felt a little frustrated. The world between him and Wu Meiniang that he had carefully planned was ruined by Princess Gaoyang again.

This stinky girl!

Princess Gaoyang was blocked by Qin Mubai's call. She didn't say anything for a long time. She sat in a depressed state, looking straight at the fire. Seeing her suddenly becoming extremely quiet, Qin Mubai couldn't bear it anymore. He sat next to her, bumped her slightly and said, "Are you angry?"

Princess Gao Yang shook her head, continued to look down at the fire, and murmured, "No. Am I really annoying?"

"No." Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang said in unison.

Princess Gao Yang pouted, but still said softly: "You don't have to deny it, I know I am quite annoying sometimes. I really shouldn't be here today..."

"No." Qin Mubai hurriedly pulled her back and said with a smile, "Gao Yang, why are you so stingy? I'm just teasing you, and you take it seriously?"

"What are you taking seriously? If I were Mei Niang, and others would always disturb me and you, I would definitely be angry and depressed." Princess Gao Yang said softly, "I'm going back first. I'm sorry, Mu Bai, Mei Niang ”

After that she was leaving.

For a moment, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang felt really uncomfortable. The two of them came forward to stop her, and the four maids also helped to persuade her, saying that it was late at night and the city gate was closed, and it was dark and cold, so it was better not to go back.

After persuading her for a long time, Princess Gao Yang still just lowered her head pitifully, said nothing, and insisted on going back.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but become a little anxious and said: "Gao Yang, can you not be so childish? It's so late at night, you can't do it without making a scene!"

"Okay!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly raised her head and grinned strangely, "It's okay if I don't leave. Then... how about we all go to the bridal chamber together?"

The entire audience was petrified and collectively speechless.

The long-planned "bridal night of flowers and candles" was still disrupted. Except for Princess Gaoyang, everyone stayed here dumbfounded and had to rest separately.

The New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. Wu Meiniang has been preparing carefully for a long time, and the New Year is very lively. The atmosphere inside the mansion of Qinxian Company was full of joy. Together with his mother, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, Pang Fei and others, Qin Mubai acted like the head of the family and was the core of everyone. This year's Qinxian Company is also the core of Xiangyang City. The most important thing that all the officials in Xiangzhou are thinking about is how to greet Qin Mubai in the New Year. The gifts should not be too expensive, not too cheap, and not be vulgar. This has really become a headache for the officials and generals.

More than half a month has passed since I went home to visit friends. In the blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I have seen the lanterns on the river during the Yuanxiao Festival. The festive atmosphere of the New Year is still not gone. It is a scene that often occurs in prosperous times.

At this time, two important pieces of news reached Qin Mubai's ears.

One of the messages came from a "secret report" from Chang'an Su Lianqing. It has been more than half a month since the three girls went to Chang'an. Under Qinxian Pavilion's careful packaging and promotion, they became famous very quickly. The Tantai sisters have become the famous "cool twins" in Chang'an. They are good at sword dancing and have a cool temperament. Their fresh limelight even overshadowed the three fairies and became popular in Chang'an.

As expected, Han Wang Li Yuanchang, a sensual and voluptuous man, quickly set his sights on them, just circling around the three of them like flies. If it weren't for the previous tragic encounter and his rejection of Qin Mubai, he would have used his power to win the beauty.

Qin Mubai wrote back to Su Lianqing, just to whet his appetite, don't rush into submission, the later he gets "got", the better. It's best not to let him take any real advantage, but you might as well make enough money for him. money, this is considered "kind".

Another piece of news was not only Qin Mubai's concern, but also shocked the entire Tang Dynasty.

The news comes from the Korean Peninsula.

In recent years, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla on the Korean Peninsula have been fighting endlessly. Silla couldn't bear it and turned to the Tang Dynasty for help. At this moment, Datang's main energy was devoted to the Western Regions, and it had no time to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula with force, so it had no choice but to send Li Ke to lobby for mediation as the suzerain.

Li Ke has been gone for almost a year, and now he has finally achieved some results. The war on the Korean peninsula calmed down slightly. Each of the three countries sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and together they submitted letters of credence to indicate the cessation of military conquest and to shake hands and make peace.

In other words, Li Ke, a diplomat, successfully completed the tasks assigned by the court. Without spending a single soldier, the situation on the Korean Peninsula presented the situation that Datang liked to see most.

Why did the Tang Dynasty like to see the Three Kingdoms standing on the peninsula the most

the reason is simple.

When the three kingdoms stood in a tripartite state, they restrained and restrained each other. Civil wars and internal strife weakened each other, making it easier for the Tang Dynasty to control them. If Silla is destroyed, Baekje will not last long. If the three parts of Goguryeo were unified into one kingdom, it would definitely become a problem for the Tang Dynasty.

It is almost an open secret that Li Shimin intends to conquer Goryeo. Firstly, out of his selfishness, he wanted to completely surpass the former Sui Yang Emperor. When he failed to conquer Goryeo, Li Shimin wanted to succeed; secondly, in Li Shimin's own words, 'Although Goryeo is small, it will definitely cause harm in the long run'. To pacify Goryeo, accumulate blessings and eliminate disasters for future generations.

Qin Mubai, who comes from the 21st century, fully agrees with Li Shimin's view. With the Tang Dynasty, it would be a pity not to completely conquer the Korean Peninsula.

Nowadays, it is most appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to invest its main energy, financial resources, and military forces on the Western Front, so that the Korean Peninsula will present a situation of three pillars that restrain and restrict each other.

Li Ke, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was quite successful!

Qin Mubai didn't know the exact news. He just heard that Li Ke was still staying in Goguryeo and was regarded as a distinguished guest. He might stay there for a long time. It might not be easy for the two of them to meet each other.

Moreover, Qin Mubai doesn't want Li Ke to come back for the time being. He himself did not want to return to Chang'an too early.

The longer Qin Mubai stayed away from Chang'an, the more he felt that Chang'an was only calm on the surface, with turbulent undercurrents inside. One day, something big will happen.

It is better to watch the fire from the other side than to suffer from it. So Qin Mubai decided to stay in Xiangyang throughout the first month and enjoy the rare leisure time. When the wedding day is approaching, it will not be too late to return to Chang'an.

When you get there, something interesting and exciting will definitely happen...
