The general's wife through time

Chapter 27 Looking for Mu Xian

There is no shortage of smart people in the capital's top social circles. On the second day of the Qin family's banquet, Shangguan Xun's sister took the initiative to invite Xue Tang to the flower viewing banquet, but Xue Tang declined.

Later, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. So-and-so sent messages inviting Xue Tang to visit the lake, watch horse racing, play polo, go to the temple to burn incense and pray for fortune-telling by a master...

Perhaps this was what the original owner had dreamed of before, but Xue Tang enjoyed the stars and the moon every day in her previous life. She did not lack these. What's more, compared to the masters in the temple, she felt that her divination might be more accurate. , so they refused one by one.

Compared with these, she pays more attention to the Qin family's affairs. The Qin family is her temporary residence. Only by solving the Qin family's troubles can she live more comfortably in this world. She uses the Qin family's platform to stabilize Qin's family. Family can be regarded as a reward for Qin Shuanyuan.

She packed up and got ready to go out.

As soon as he walked into the corridor, he saw Qin Mingrui leaning on a pillar, looking down at something in his hand in a daze.

Hearing the footsteps, Qin Mingrui quickly put away the things in his hands.

Xue Tang had already seen it, and it was the golden leaf in his hand.

In fact, it wasn't anything special. One day someone accidentally knocked over something and left traces on the gold leaves. She had an idea and asked someone to use it to look like a five-pointed star.

Xue Tang thought: Since he likes it, let him do more in the future and keep it to reward him.

"Have you finished your homework today?" Xue Tang asked.

"No, not yet." Qin Mingrui's ears were slightly red, and he was a little at a loss. It felt like he skipped class secretly and was caught by a gentleman from the college.

Xue Tang: "Then you study hard at home and I'll go out."

He wants to go too!

Qin Mingrui moved his lips, but still didn't dare to speak. He could only watch Xue Tang go away.

Xue Tang got in the car and asked Qin Lu to go ahead and notify Mu Xian.

Qin Huangyuan's birthday party was such a favorable opportunity. Of course Mu Xian had to seize it to stabilize all the Qin family's business.

In a secret room in the backyard of the Taotie Building, Mu Xian was busy explaining to the thirty or so people around him. At this time, the door was suddenly opened, a hand reached in, and curled his fingers at Mu Xian, "Boss Mu, Madam I’m looking for you to get ready.”

As soon as he saw this style, Mu Xian knew that Qin Lu was here.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

This person is like this every time, so he can't say hello properly. I wonder if he is discussing important matters every time he comes to the secret room? Discussing important things is with important people. Can't you give him some face in this situation?
The people in the room looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate.

Some people heard that Xue Tang always came to Taotie Tower to find Mu Xian, and the words "get ready" always made people think more about it, but everyone quickly suppressed the non-featured thoughts. Boss Mu's temper also made people think a lot. It was just for the general's sake and to stabilize the Qin family that I didn't neglect Xue Tang.

"Okay, wait a moment, the matter here will be taken care of soon." Mu Xian didn't think it was inappropriate, after all, Xue Tang now had to impress him. After answering, Qin Lu continued to assign tasks.

"I came to you to get to know Weiyuan."

As soon as Mu Xian walked into the private room, he heard Xue Tang say.

"Why is Madam suddenly concerned about this?" Mu Xian admitted that Xue Tang was much smarter now, but even so, she couldn't get involved in a big stall like Weiyuan.

Xue Tang said concisely and to the point, "I don't want the Qin family to decline. I can't live a poor life."

Mu Xian: "..."

In the past, Xue Tang's ambition was written all over his face, but he was so self-righteous that others could not see it. He pretended to be complacent every day, which was particularly disgusting. Now Xue Tang said it bluntly, making it impossible to refute.

"Madam, don't worry, the Qin family will not fall because of Weiyuan."

"I only believe what I see."

Mu Xian's eyes moved slightly. So does he.

He thought again of the book "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Die a Pig" that Xue Tang gave him. One of them was to walk without looking at the road and fall into a trap.

Seeing that Mu Xian didn't speak, Xue Tang said calmly: "I am the mistress of the Qin family. When the general is away, I have the right to intervene in all the affairs of the Qin family."

Mu Xian smiled awkwardly, "Then we will go to Weiyuan in the afternoon. After you take a look, I will tell you the details." The general has not replied yet. Anyway, Weiyuan is now an empty shell, so there is nothing wrong with going to see it. . Mu Xian thought.

Xue Tang nodded with satisfaction, "What new signature dish will be served at Taotie House today?"

The topic changed too quickly. Mu Xian was stunned and then said the name of the dish, "According to your suggestion, the dishes added to the high, medium and low grades today are: steak and fruit wine, boiled fish, and spicy hotpot."

The people in the kitchen knew that Xue Tang was here again and had already prepared an extra dish for the banquet. However, the waiter came over and said, "Madam and Boss Mu, two bowls of Malatang."

The entire kitchen: "???"

It’s understandable that Madam wants to eat spicy hotpot, after all, it’s quite delicious, but it’s a bit sudden that Boss Mu wants to accompany Madam to eat together.

Although Boss Mu didn't say anything before, they all could see that the smiling tiger was eager to give his wife a packet of rat poison in her dish.

The sudden change, could it be that at the general's birthday party, the wife gave Taotielou a lot of good recipes, so the two settled their differences? !
While Xue Tang and Mu Xian were eating, Qin Lu and Qiu Die also had a simple bowl of spicy hotpot next door.

Qin Lu's ears were very good, and he listened to the whole discussion of Xue Tang by those next door.

"That Xue girl is really amazing."

"I heard from hearsay before that I really thought Duan Jingchen had slapped himself in the face when he came to admit Duan Jingchu's mistake. I recently found out that it was purely a rumor. It was Xue Tang who came forward to make the Qin family and the Duan family reconcile."

"To put it in your words, just look at Duan Jingchen's participation in Qin Shuanyuan's birthday party this time."

"Who is Duan Jingchen? When he puts on his long robe, he is a businessman. When he puts on his armor, he is the commander of the Royal Forest Army. He also has a bit of gangsterism. There are not many people who can give him face."

"Maybe it's different in front of women. After all, Xue Tang is really good-looking."

"Bullshit. Duan Jingchen is not a pity for women. Back then, there was a businessman from Jiangnan who wanted to marry him. I felt pity for his girl Xiaojia Biyu. I sat on the carriage and wanted to have a chance encounter with him, but..."

"What's the result? Come on, don't gasp."

"As a result, Duan Jingchen was riding on a horse and whipped it, knocking the horse unconscious. I heard that the horse ran outside the city and hit a tree. The carriage broke up and the girl was directly beaten. I fell paralyzed."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how cruel."

"No, no, no, the real ruthless person is Xue Tang. Qin Shuanyuan never saw Duan Jingchen with his eyes before,"

"No, Duan Jingchen doesn't despise Qin Huangyuan either. They despise each other."

"Oh, please don't interrupt. What I want to say is that Xue Tang dared to take it upon herself to make friends with the Duan family when Qin Shuanyuan was not around, and the Duan family even agreed. She is really awesome."

"Well, if you put it that way, it's really quite powerful."

"Isn't she afraid that Qin Huangyuan will come back to settle accounts with the Queen?"

"Didn't she cause enough trouble before? Didn't Qin Shuanyuan fare well in the end? Qin Shuanyuan didn't bother to talk to a woman at all. All he could think about was the Qin Family Army, the North Territory, and the Qin Family's century-old foundation. He didn't look at every time he returned to Kyoto. I don’t go out much, so I just study the art of war at home.”

"You know it again."

"Yes, I know that. I also know that Wei Shengmiao's child is not Qin Shuanyuan's, because in Qin Shuanyuan's eyes, an actor is not as good as a soldier, and he has no time to mess around outside. I don't think that Wei Shengmiao has any idea. Whose bastard are you trying to take advantage of to blackmail someone?"

"There is some truth to this. So Xue Tang is still a bit pitiful. Qin Shuanyuan is not here, and she has to deal with everything by herself."

"Pity? I think she enjoys it. Look, she doesn't come to Mu Xian often now. Mu Xian is pretty good-looking. With Mu Xian by his side, Xue Tang probably doesn't have time to argue with Wei Shengmiao, so I didn’t even bother to talk to that woman at the banquet, and just let my servants throw her out.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lu's temples trembled, he picked up the sword and stood up suddenly.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Qiudie quickly grabbed him and lowered her voice: "Don't cause trouble for Madam. After the banquet, is there still little talk in the capital? You have the ability to speak to others. If you want to speak, let them speak. You If you go and argue, you will give them face. Furthermore, how do you know this is not a rumor that Wei Shengmiao deliberately spread? To such people, ignoring is the best response."

Wei Shengmiao originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only taking the Qin family's money, but also avoiding Si Fangyun's eyes and ears, but she didn't expect that she would make a wrong step. Lying on the bed, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were empty. There is no hope at all.

At this time, Xue Tang had already followed Mu Xian to the dock.
