In the name of digestion, Mu Mingtang forcibly took Xie Xuanchen for a walk in the open air. It was also before that Mu Mingtang was stunned. Yesterday, when Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei visited, Mu Mingtang suddenly realized that, yes, such a large palace is their home, and the ready-made venue, why must it be limited to indoors
Mu Mingtang too understands the difference between going out and not seeing the light of day. Xie Xuanchen has a pessimistic attitude towards his illness, which may be because he feels guilty for what he has done, or because no one has ever shared it with him, but in any case, Mu Mingtang wants Xie Xuanchen to live well .
Sick people, especially those with heart problems like Xie Xuanchen, just drinking medicine won't work, he has to come out on his own. While basking in the sun every day, getting in touch with the wind and water of activities, arranging the appearance into the best-looking appearance, and talking to outsiders more, can you change a person's appearance as quickly as possible.
Mu Mingtang forced Xie Xuanchen to walk in the garden, and she happened to use the name of walking to explore the way where the imperial doctor was on duty at night. The two of them walked slowly through Yunruizhai, bypassed the Moon Gate, and passed through the bamboo forest. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the sound of dead leaves was faint, like a child crying. Mu Mingtang saw a familiar building through the whirling bamboo shadow.
Mu Mingtang pointed in the direction of the house and said, "Look, isn't that Jingzhai? I was there before and was locked up for several days."
She doesn't care about these things anymore, and she just said it in a childish tone, but Xie Xuanchen followed her finger and fell into silence.
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he didn't remember anything, and still helped Xie Xuanchen to walk forward: "I remember there was a lake in front of me, look, it's there."
The sound of running water is gurgling, and the autumn wind blows, and the water ripples in circles. Seeing it, Mu Mingtang sighed, "It's enough to keep fish in such a large water surface, yet you actually said it's just a small pond?"
Her tone was too serious, and Xie Xuanchen was amused by the phrase "raising fish", and said, "It's not impossible if you really want to raise fish, but the fish here don't grow much, so it's better to raise them in the living water in front."
Mu Mingtang shook his head: "I'm just talking about it, I'm too lazy to bother. By the way, which direction did you say Xuezhai is in?"
Xie Xuanchen pointed in the other direction across the water. Mu Mingtang stretched his neck to look at it, and nodded slightly: "I probably have a few. Okay, it's so desolate here, let's go back."
"This is coming?" Xie Xuanchen was surprised, "You have been talking about it for so long, why don't you go to the lake to see?"
"Don't go." Mu Mingtang smiled slyly at Xie Xuanchen as if he had some bad idea, "After reading it this time, you won't come out with me next time. I'll keep it for the next time."
There are so many thoughts, Xie Xuanchen doesn't care anyway, it is arranged by Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang had achieved his goal today, and he didn't dare to let Xie Xuanchen stay in the cold wind any longer, so he quickly helped him back to the house.
Sure enough, after returning to the house, Xie Xuanchen showed a look of fatigue, and his fingers were as cold as ice. Mu Mingtang quickly poured him a glass of warm water, warmed his hands, and helped him go back to sleep.
Xie Xuanchen was really tired and fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow. Mu Mingtang sat by the bed and watched for a while. She had nothing to do, and she didn't dare to get too far away from Xie Xuanchen, so she asked the maid to bring the gift list from yesterday. She sat outside the screen and checked each item slowly.
Yesterday, the emperor sent many gifts, and the queen and queen mother also offered a lot for face. Mu Mingtang didn't have time yesterday, so he just had a rough overview, so he had the box moved back to the warehouse. However, the management of property cannot be so rough. If there is no clear list, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will secretly take out the things and sell them outside for money. After all, the warehouse is so big, it is impossible for Mu Mingtang to remember all of them. Who knows if one or two are missing.
When her father was in business, he told her several times about the importance of ledgers. It is easy to accumulate wealth and difficult to keep it. If you only focus on earning money outside, and you are confused about the account books at home, you will be defeated.
Xie Xuanchen's situation is very prodigal.
Mu Mingtang can guarantee that Xie Xuanchen has no time to pay attention to it these years, and there is no principal in the house, Xie Xuanchen's property must have been stolen and exchanged, and even a lot of it was emptied out. Mu Mingtang couldn't control what happened in the past, but now that she is here, she will never allow this to happen again.
The entire palace is in urgent need of a big co-ordination, not only the warehouse, but also the cost of other places should be quantified. For example, the curtains in the idle houses were originally unoccupied, and it was too wasteful to change them every season. Moreover, the replaced fabric is completely new, which does not affect the second transaction. It can be processed again if it is cheaper.
This is simply a business without capital. The servants responsible for this item do not know how much money they paid for the palace by reselling the curtains.
However, Mu Mingtang has no time to clean up these worms now, and her top priority is to organize a booklet in the warehouse. Just take the gold and silverware, how many gold and silverware are placed up and down the palace, what size, how much weight, what kind of pattern is engraved on it, where did it come from, where is it, and the person who handles it is Who, these should be refined. Not only the quantity should be recorded, but even the size and weight should not be sloppy, otherwise they would not have been able to detect it if they were secretly taken out by Diao slaves and removed the bag.
I don't know if I don't check it, I'm shocked when I check it. Mu Mingtang found that Xie Xuanchen's net worth is really rich, not to mention gold and silver jewelry, and many of them are unique products in the palace. Some were rewards, and some were brought back after Xie Xuanchen killed the emperor.
Mu Mingtang was shocked as he counted, how many emperors' homes were copied by Xie Xuanchen.
Mu Mingtang started with yesterday's rewards and roughly classified them. The perishable silk and silk items should be stored separately. The gold and silver items given by the royal family had to be written clearly, stroke by stroke. Porcelain and jade items were fragile and should be stored separately. Mu Mingtang was thinking about how to allocate the warehouse space, but the more he thought about the details, the more he had to change a piece of paper to remember things.
Although Mu Mingtang's background was looked down upon by Jiang Mingwei and other officials, but the status of the merchants was low, and the family was not short of money. Mu's father invited his master to teach Mu Mingtang since he was a child. Mu Mingtang was literate and read the Four Books and Five Classics, the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, but it would be impossible for her to write poetry and fu.
After all, Mu's father asked Mu Mingtang to have a master to make her literate. No one in the whole family expected her to be a talented girl. Even Mu Mingtang herself never thought that she would cross several floors in a row, enter the official class, and even become a princess.
This is the wonderful thing about encounters in life. No one can predict what will happen in the future. We can only try our best not to waste every minute and every second of the present.
Mu Mingtang's stall grew bigger and bigger, and paper ledgers were placed on a table. When she was eating, she was thinking about how to organize the roster.
In the afternoon, Mu Mingtang was not only busy by himself, but also sent the maids around. She kept calling the maid over, not only to ask about the situation, but also to register the person who handled it. Xie Xuanchen woke up in the afterglow, and when he woke up, the west window was full of sunlight. At this moment, the sun is approaching and the sun is no longer as aggressive as it was at noon, but with an orange color, through the window panes, strands of light are reflected in the house, as if it has covered everything with a layer of broken gold.
Xie Xuanchen stood up slowly, and through the screen, Mu Mingtang was sitting on the Arhat bed. She leaned against the railing with one hand and held the ledger with the other, and her long dress stretched to the ground, like a magnolia inserted in a golden vase.
There was a maid waiting beside the Luohan bed. Mu Mingtang seemed to be asking questions. She asked the maid and answered a question, and Mu Mingtang ticked twice on the booklet from time to time. She asked so seriously that she didn't realize that Xie Xuanchen had already woken up.
Xie Xuanchen didn't make a sound, and still sat quietly on the bed, silently watching Mu Mingtang outside the screen.
Xie Xuanchen found that Mu Mingtang was serious about everything, eating very seriously, and even asking questions. Looking at that posture, it seems that they will live here for a long time, as if they have a long-term and bright future, so that she has to rectify the manpower, and spend so much effort for an account book.
Xie Xuanchen suddenly felt guilty. She is too serious, which often makes Xie Xuanchen feel overwhelmed. The emperor gave him a great reward, Xie Xuanji dared to say in front of him that he was a brother and a brother, and the imperial doctor didn't even bother to diagnose his pulse. Everyone felt that he would not live long, not even this winter, but Mu Mingtang was the only one who stubbornly planned the future and stubbornly sought medicine for him.
Mu Mingtang lost a lot of words, and finally asked the whole story clearly. She said that her mouth was dry, and after sending the little girl away, she turned around and poured tea on the table.
Turning around like this, Mu Mingtang finally saw that Xie Xuanchen had woken up. She was startled, hurriedly dropped the pen and paper, and walked towards the back of the screen: "Why did you wake up? You didn't say a word when you woke up. I just found out now."
Mu Mingtang poured a glass of warm water from the table, and tried to test the temperature with his fingers before handing it to Xie Xuanchen. But this time Xie Xuanchen didn't move after taking it, but asked, "What were you doing just now?"
"Oh, I'm asking who has handled the decorations of Qingxintang. The palace has been left unattended for a long time. Suddenly, so many people are called, and there is no law to do anything. Everything is handled by one person. Two, I can't find it at all. There is no way to do what has already happened. I will first register what I have now, and finally register it in the hands of whoever passed it. If it is lost again, I will not take this as a scapegoat. "
It turns out that registering is not an easy job, and it takes a lot of manpower and effort. Xie Xuanchen held the cup in his hand, and didn't mean to drink water for a long time: "Thinking about these things is troublesome, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely thankless to deal with the people below. Anyway, no one in the palace dares to short your food and clothing, You just have to enjoy it, why bother?"
"How can this be possible." Mu Mingtang was very serious after hearing this, and taught Xie Xuanchen, "You are not the way to keep your family for a long time. It is easy to live happily, but the hardest to live awake. To deceive you, if things go on like this, won't all the family's assets be depleted? It is precisely from the beginning that the rules should be established, they understand the good and the bad, and they will not dare to cross the border."
Xie Xuanchen became more silent when she heard these words. She was really serious about preparing for their future life, and she didn't want to say it without thinking.
Xie Xuanchen stopped for a while and said, "What if there is no future?"
The expression on Mu Mingtang's face was stunned for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Xuanchen, Xie Xuanchen's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about an unusual thing.
"How come there is no future?" Mu Mingtang stood up, lowered the curtain, and blocked the dazzling sunlight outside. The sun shines through the gauze, and even her figure becomes blurred: "Your illness is never the doctor, but yourself. If you want, no matter what they say, you can persevere."
Xie Xuanchen leaned back on the bed frame and slowly rubbed the tea cup in his hand: "Little girl, life is not about parents and teachers encouraging you to go to school, and when you are sick, it is not about persevering. You think I haven't tried. Ever? You're not me, you don't know what it's like to be hopeful and hopeless again and again."
"Yeah, I don't know." Mu Mingtang walked to the bed, sat on the feet regardless of the long skirt, looked up at Xie Xuanchen, "I don't know, so I'm selfish, please try again You don't care about yourself, you don't have a life aspiration, but I still have it. You can live for me, can you?"
Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the bed frame, his long fingers motionless. Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Mingtang changed to a comfortable sitting position, leaning on the edge of the bed with his chin on his back: "You must feel presumptuous. You know me only a few days ago, and I am no better to you than Jiang Mingwei is to you. The same is that we remember you unilaterally, but you have no impression. It's just that I was luckier than her, and I ended up marrying you, but she didn't. "
"But I was selfishly reluctant to let go. Since I was born, I have never won against Jiang Mingwei. My family is not as good as her, my knowledge is not as good as her, my luck is not as good as her, and even the marriage is the same. Because she is back, no matter what I do for this Whatever you have paid, you must immediately give way to her. Not only that, but the man I used to regard as my husband with all my heart, in order to please Jiang Mingwei, gave me to others. There is nothing more sad than a woman."
Mu Mingtang sighed and stretched out his hand to straighten the folds on Xie Xuanchen's sleeves: "But the only thing I've beaten her is that I'm married to the person who Girls' Generation looks forward to most, and she doesn't. Not only that, I can still let her call me my sister-in-law and show off in front of her all day long. Just treat me as ignorant, as selfish and narrow-minded, and continue to live for my ridiculous competitiveness, okay?"
Mu Mingtang said with tears on her eyes, she lowered her head and buried her face in the bedding, sniffling sullenly. After an unknown period of time, she felt a hand covering the back of her head. He seemed to want to comfort her, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control his strength, so he could only rub her hair vainly: "Okay."
Mu Mingtang was crying when he vaguely heard a voice, and immediately raised his head with tears in his eyes: "What did you say?"
"I said yes. Don't cry." Xie Xuanchen held his hand a little stiffly. He was holding it up just now, but Mu Mingtang raised his head and rubbed his hair directly on his hand. Xie Xuanchen didn't know whether to put it down or take it back, so he could only stay still.
Mu Mingtang was still crying just now, when he heard Xie Xuanchen's words, he seemed to be hit with blood in an instant, and the tears were withdrawn in a flash: "Are you serious?"
"Well." Xie Xuanchen sighed in his heart, he didn't think it was a good thing for the world to live, and he didn't think he could steal his life from the sky. But there was always something moving in his heart, he was alone, he had meritorious deeds, and his deeds were probably more than his merits, but this girl's life had just begun. She has experienced so many ups and downs, but she is still bright and happy. With such a character, if she marries another person, she will definitely be loved by her husband and husband, and live a safe and smooth life with children and grandchildren.
But she married him, and the children and grandchildren did not say, even safety became a problem. He has already implicated so many people, and he can no longer implicate such a young girl. He can't give her consummation, but he has to give her peace.
He lived a few more days, planned longer, and had more chips. These are all the way out for her.
Mu Mingtang didn't guess that Xie Xuanchen's heart was going around in circles, she immediately became happy, got up from her feet, sat beside Xie Xuanchen and said, "Just figure it out. I was thinking about being mad at you on purpose just now, wait a minute. After you die, marry someone with your property. I'm pretty good looking, and with a generous dowry, it's not difficult to find a home. By then, not only will your wife be returned to someone else, but also the house, The family property should also have someone else’s last name.”
Xie Xuanchen found that Mu Mingtang had succeeded. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Shut up."
Although he knew intellectually that if he died, it would be a matter of time before Mu Mingtang remarryed. But if you understand it, you understand it. When you really hear it from Mu Mingtang's mouth, why is it so harsh
