After Jiang Mingwei finished speaking, the people who sat with her did not dare to answer for a long time. In the end, Jiang Mingwei's friends smiled and said one after another: "Yes, although King An indulges Princess An, they have never met each other and have never seen each other before marriage. They can't compare to King Jin and Mingwei's knowledge. Deep feelings."
"Yes, if you want me to say, it's better to marry someone like Mingwei. The husband and wife have feelings and common elegant hobbies. It is a pleasure to recite poetry. What does it look like to throw down a bunch of money to spend?"
"I think so too. Mingwei and her husband have a good relationship, and they manage the house in an orderly manner. Even relatives, friends and elders exaggerate Mingwei everywhere. Mingwei, do you have any secrets, why don't you teach us a little?"
…
The remaining wives who were not Jian'an Lane looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and smiled, and stopped interjecting.
What kind of painful foot was stepped on, to jump so high? If it was as Jiang Mingwei said, she didn't care at all, why did she talk so much at length
Do you want to persuade yourself or persuade others
After singing double reeds over there, Jiang Mingwei's face gradually became better, and everyone knew that it was almost the same. Someone couldn't bear the curiosity and asked, "Princess Jin, I heard that you often go to Prince An's mansion?"
"That's right." Jiang Mingwei replied, in fact, it wasn't that often, far less frequently than they claimed. Especially Jiang Mingwei was ill recently, and she justly stopped going to "please be safe". However, Mu Mingtang doesn't go out to socialize, and outsiders don't know the actual situation, so Jiang Mingwei said it
Jiang Mingwei said: "The official family is not worried about the second brother's illness, so let us take care of it from time to time. The prince is also a person of pure filial piety, and he has great respect for his brother. No matter how busy he is every day, he always asks about the illness in person."
"The King of Jin and the Princess of Jin are really pure and filial." Everyone listened to the continuous praise, Jiang Mingwei's face did not change, and her mouth was deliberately modest. A lady changed her voice and said, "Princess Jin often meets with Princess An. I don't know, what kind of person is Princess An?"
Jiang Mingwei's tone was stagnant, and she didn't expect the topic to turn to this direction. Jiang Mingwei covered her mouth with a veil, and said vaguely: "This... I can't say this. After all, I'm a junior, and I don't dare to talk about Mrs.-in-law."
"Oh, really." The lady who spoke murmured in a low voice, and added, "Ashamed to say, I haven't met Princess An yet. I want to hold a banquet at home in a few days. I wonder if I'm honored. Princess An, please come to the scene? Princess An and I have no relatives or reasons, so it is not good to visit rashly, and I also ask Princess Jin to lead the line. There is Princess Lao Jin, and the ministers and women are very grateful. "
For the sake of this, Jiang Mingwei couldn't refuse, so she could only agree. After this lady threw the invitation to Mu Mingtang, it didn't take long for the others to follow suit, and the invitations flew to Prince An's mansion like snowflakes.
Mu Mingtang is so famous that everyone in the capital can't even pretend they don't know. She spends a lot of money several times, and buys an empty building at every turn, and people have long been very curious about her. It's just that Mu Mingtang lives in a secluded place and rarely shows up. The more mysterious she is, the more curious she is.
As soon as someone starts, the invitations flock to them immediately, some for viewing flowers, some for gardening, some for incense in the mountains... There are many names and everything.
Mu Mingtang entered the house with a fruit bowl and found that the hall was quiet. She walked all the way to the west tip, and saw Xie Xuanchen standing in front of the window looking at the trees outside. Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw Mu Mingtang startled: "Why are you still here?"
Mu Mingtang didn't understand this. She put the fruit plate on the ebony table and asked, "I'm not here, where should I be?"
"Aren't you going to Daxiangguo Temple to incense today?"
"Don't go, there are too many people in Daxiangguo Temple, and it will be gone after a day of tossing. Then I will definitely not be able to come back when you wake up. After thinking about it, I still refused."
Daxiangguo Temple is not only a Buddhist temple, but at the same time the area is extremely prosperous. The whole street outside the temple is full of vendors, and there are many theaters and hook bars around it, which is very lively.
The female relatives outside asked Mu Mingtang to go to Xiangguo Temple, which was an excellent position to attack and defend. You don't have to worry about your reputation when you go to the incense stick, and when you go to Xiangguo Temple, you can't really just leave with a stick of incense, and you have to watch it in the temple for a while. If you have a good relationship with each other, you will be able to go to the restaurant and tea shop outside. It is so lively around the Daxiangguo Temple that you will not be able to pass the time at all.
Xie Xuanchen turned his head and looked at the desolate and bare branches outside: "My illness is not in the way, and I won't die if I leave people. Go out if you want. You have been staying in the house for a long time these past few months. , I'm afraid I'm going to get sick."
"I'm not bored." Mu Mingtang picked a new orange and slowly peeled it off, "I don't know these women, and it's not necessarily good intentions for these women to invite me, I don't want to be surrounded by people like a monkey. For their entertainment, it's better to accompany you at home."
While peeling oranges, Mu Mingtang walked to the window and said, "It's windy outside, you're being blown by the wind carefully. Close the window first."
Xie Xuanchen still looked into the distance, motionless. After a while, he seemed to laugh at himself and said, "It can't even blow the wind. They trapped me with chains, and now, I am trapping you in turn. Actually, I was originally part of the chains."
"Don't say that." Mu Mingtang put the half-peeled orange on the high table by the window, and said to Xie Xuanchen, "The people inside don't want to be imprisoned, that's called imprisonment, if she wants, it's her own. Life. I don't feel bored, and I don't want to go out. I can feel at ease when I look at you."
"You're only fifteen. At your age, you should go to enjoy the flowers and go to the garden, wear splendid clothes to go out to poetry parties, or watch a young man of the same age play polo. Instead of accompany a patient and be imprisoned in In a lifeless mansion."
Mu Mingtang widened his eyes and kept staring at Xie Xuanchen, but he always looked out the window, leaving only a cold profile arc. Mu Mingtang still smelled of fresh oranges on her fingertips. She wiped off the juice remaining on her fingertips and said, "Turn around, I have something to tell you."
Xie Xuanchen just closed his eyes, obviously not cooperating. Mu Mingtang grabbed his clothes and said, "This is what I want. I already have a husband, so what are you doing watching other teenagers play polo?"
Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes, and there was a desolate darkness in front of him. Mu Mingtang is still young. She is actually only a half-old child. She doesn't know what love between men and women is, nor what is firewood, rice, oil and salt. Now, including what she said to him before, it was actually a life-saving grace that blinded her senses. She thought it was liking, but it was just gratitude.
Life and vision are different. She's still young, so she runs around him, but it's not a healthy relationship at all. The truly normal, fourteenth-fifth feelings should be impulsive and shy. For the sake of his sweetheart, the boy showed himself everywhere, and the girl stood at a distance, embarrassed to approach, and reluctant to walk away.
Instead of their deformed, mixed feelings of gratitude, fantasies and gratitude. When he rescued Mu Mingtang, she was on the verge of life and death. After the catastrophe, she was nervous, afraid, and dependent. Naturally, she transplanted this emotion into him. She thought it was love, but it wasn't at all.
She is still young and can't tell the difference, and when she really understands, she will definitely feel pain. He can't give her the tenderness and company of a normal couple, or even go out with her, but she has to take care of him in turn and sacrifice her life for a bottomless pit.
When she really meets the person she likes, when she has that irrepressible impulse and yearning, I am afraid she will be able to understand what he said today. Xie Xuanchen sometimes regretted that Mu Mingtang didn't understand, and was glad that she didn't understand. He didn't dare to imagine how Mu Mingtang would see him when he found out that she had been deceived in the future
A despicable marriage cheater, a despicable person who takes advantage of a woman's youth and ignorance.
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, seeing that Xie Xuanchen was still not moving, he knew that he was not persuaded. She didn't know why Xie Xuanchen had such a strange idea, she put on Xie Xuanchen's arm and asked, "What do you mean by that? You have been saying things like this since we first got married. Run away, and then persuade me to remarry, and now, I still think I should go out to the garden to meet young men? What do you think of me?"
"You are still young and don't understand. Although Xie Xuanji's grandson is not a thing, his words are not wrong. Marriage is not a child playing a family, it is not enough to be grateful. You are young now, so you don't care, when you grow up You will regret it later.”
"I'm not young!" Mu Mingtang was about to explode when he heard it, "Why do you think I don't know the sufferings of the world, and I don't know what I'm doing? I've long understood that I'm younger than you, and it doesn't mean that I'm mentally ill. Little. I always know what I'm doing and what I'm going to do in the future. You can't believe me, but you can't help but believe my feelings!"
"Emotion?" Xie Xuanchen was finally willing to look at her, with a faint smile on his lips, "Do you know what emotion is?"
"I know." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he fixedly looked into Xie Xuanchen's eyes, "It's you who don't understand."
Xie Xuanchen originally looked at her with the same mentality as an adult watching a child fooling around. The five-year-old child swore eachother, and the parties also swore it, but would anyone take it seriously? Xie Xuanchen thought so too, but he saw Mu Mingtang's eyes, which were bright and firm, as if they were saying something that could not be more certain. Xie Xuanchen suddenly panicked.
He thought Mu Mingtang's words were ridiculous. How old is she, how many people she has seen, and how many places she has been to, how can she be qualified to say that he doesn't understand? Xie Xuanchen took a step back suddenly, as if avoiding something, turned around and walked out.
"Every word I said is true." Mu Mingtang said to Xie Xuanchen's back, "You don't understand."
Xie Xuanchen didn't want to listen, he didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly felt upset and restless. He originally thought it was Mu Mingtang's words that disturbed his mood, but he soon discovered that it was not.
Mu Mingtang was also very angry. She took the orange on the side and peeled it hard, only to get her own juice. Xie Xuanchen has a temper, doesn't she? She would also throw her sleeves away and let him hang on for a while.
When the two of them were talking, they stood between the west ends, Xie Xuanchen walked in, and Mu Mingtang went outside on purpose. She held the oranges in a fit of anger and broke them as she walked. She felt that the newly delivered oranges were extremely unpalatable. They were obviously raw.
Mu Mingtang took a few steps quickly, and when he was about to go out, he muttered in his heart, Xie Xuanchen should have known wrong, right? It is not safe for him to be alone. If he has a good attitude, Mu Mingtang will step down.
She thought so, looking back inadvertently. As a result, when he turned around, Mu Mingtang saw Xie Xuanchen standing in the middle of the open space, covering his head with force, as if in pain.
The peeled and bumpy orange slammed on the ground, Mu Mingtang lifted her skirt and ran back. At that moment, she wished she would give birth to a pair of wings: "My lord!"
