Xiangji Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with overlapping pagodas and halls, covering a very large area. There are only a few places where female relatives can go, so in addition to offering incense, the Buddhist temple also includes the function of playing.
In March, the peach blossoms of Xiangji Temple were in full bloom. After Mu Mingtang, Mrs. Zhu, and several young ladies from the Zhu family asked for signatures, they went to the backyard to see the flowers. Xie Xuanchen and Zhu Yanghong escorted the female relatives out, the females looked at the flowers in front, and the two of them walked behind, following slowly.
Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant on both sides, and the red was falling like rain. Although Zhu Yang Hong and Xie Xuanchen couldn't appreciate the flowers, they felt relaxed in such an environment. Zhu Yang Hong talked to Xie Xuanchen at will, and asked, "Long time no see, how is your health recently?"
Xie Xuanchen didn't go into the details of what Zhu Yang Hong was asking. Anyway, it was normal to meet him and greet him. Xie Xuanchen looked at the front and said casually, "It's still possible."
Acceptable. Zhu Yang Hong silently pondered the meaning of these two words for a while. He asked vaguely, and Xie Xuanchen answered vaguely. The connotation of this can only be understood by two people.
Zhu Yang Hong pondered in his heart, and could not help but quietly look at Xie Xuanchen, trying to see some clues from Xie Xuanchen's demeanor. He looked at it this way, only to find that Xie Xuanchen's eyes had been falling in front of him.
Zhu Yang Hong followed and saw that his daughter was following behind Princess An, pointing to the flowers on the roadside from time to time to Mu Mingtang. I wish Yang Hong self-knowledge, at least knowing that Xie Xuanchen will not be looking at his daughter, that is, he is looking at the princess.
I wish Yang Hong couldn't help but think of the appearance of Xie Xuanchen once. At that time, Xie Xuanchen was young and mad, full of heroism, and his eyes were full of vigorous ambition. But now, Xie Xuanchen walked slowly under the flower tree, his eyebrows were still heroic, but his eyes were inadvertently gentle, as if the aggressive sword was hidden in the scabbard, and no longer let people look at it and gave birth to alertness, but lethality The power is stronger than ever.
The comparison between the past and the present made Zhu Yanghong feel complicated. It was also a relaxed atmosphere at the moment, I wished Yang Hong to talk and laugh with Xie Xuanchen, saying: "My lord became famous early, this age is really young for making achievements, but it is not too young to keep it at home. Since the lord has already Getting married, and having a rare and stable life in the past two years, why haven't you considered having children?"
Xie Xuanchen originally only gave Zhu Yanghong a small part of his attention, but when he heard Zhu Yanghong's words, he was stunned for a while before continuing: "You mean child?"
Zhu Yanghong thought that Xie Xuanchen was still a teenager, or that the young couple wanted to spend more than two years in the two-person world, so they deliberately did not want children during this time. Zhu Yang Hong put aside his political stance, and persuaded him purely in the tone of a past person: "The general will know that the prince is still young and does not want to be bound by children, but life and death in the army are impermanent, and when the prince is older, he will know that the current situation is like this. How precious are the days when you leave early and return late. It is time to plan for your heir while you are rare and safe now."
Xie Xuanchen kept his expression on his face, trying to show a calmness that was not humiliated and used to seeing wind and rain. But in his heart, there was a gust of wind and waves.
Is he being urged to have children
Heaven and earth can learn from the world. He has been very disciplined so far. No matter whether there is any distance between day and night, where does he go to get a child out
However, this kind of thing is not something to be proud of. Anyway, Xie Xuanchen was embarrassed to say to a colleague who used to work together, don't look at me being married for almost a year, in fact, I have never done anything as husband and wife, not even hug No physical contact.
Xie Xuanchen was heartbroken, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he tried to maintain his battle-hardened appearance in front of outsiders, and said calmly, "What's the hurry, she and I are both young, and we are not in a hurry to have children now."
Zhu Yang Hong understood as soon as he heard it, and became more bitter: "The prince and the princess are young, and it is inevitable to want to relax for two more years. However, the last general felt that taking advantage of this time of leisure, the prince was staying at home, and it was time to hurry up. I want a child. Otherwise, if the war gets busy at any time, the prince has to take command and go out, and he is absent from the child's growth. In retrospect, it will be a pity after all."
Xie Xuanchen was stunned when he heard it. He was very familiar with such a tone. When he was still fighting in the army before, he chatted with everyone in his spare time. Many people had such sighs. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yang Hong dignifiedly guarding one side of the coach, has the same regret.
Xie Xuanchen asked, "How old are your parents?"
"I am eighteen this year, and I am only a little younger than the prince." Zhu Yanghong sighed, "When he and the second child were born, I was just like the prince. I was all about fighting and regaining lost territory. I always felt that the family affairs were trivial and trivial. But the year before last, my second son was killed on the battlefield. When I sent his soul, I was shocked to realize that the last time I had gossip with him was a few years ago. From childhood to adulthood, I specially accompanied them. Time is too short."
Xie Xuanchen sighed silently. The expression of feelings between men is not as good as that of women. Xie Xuanchen just patted Zhu Yang Hong on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "My condolences."
Zhu Yanghong shook his head slowly and said, "So last year, I decided to retire and withdrew from the front line. I have been absent from the growth of several sons, so don't miss my daughters any more. If you miss this period of time to get married, when they get to her husband's house, I can only see them once or twice a year, and it will be even more like strangers. While they are still in the room, try to accompany them at home as much as possible. Lord, don't think that I have overstepped, it is because I regret for the rest of my life that I can't help but say a few more words to you."
"I understand." Xie Xuanchen said, "My father didn't have time to take care of me since he was a child, so until the end, my relationship with him was very tense. After my mother died, I couldn't even meet him properly."
I wish Yang Hong said that he regrets, but why not Xie Xuanchen? Although Xie Yi was strict with him and made no excuses, he was his father after all. After Mrs. Yin left, Xie Yi was his last blood relative in this world.
But Xie Yi also passed away suddenly, and he didn't even see Xie Yi's last side.
Speaking of these things, it is a confusing account. Xie Yi is not a good father when he straightens the outer room, and Xie Xuanchen has not done much as a son. Xie Xuanchen at least hopes that his son will not repeat the mistakes of their father and son in the future.
Zhu Yang Hong and Xie Xuanchen began to guard against each other and test each other. Now when they talk about family matters, they suddenly open the chat box. Zhu Yanghong said: "My daughters said about the kiss, thank the princess for her efforts. If there is no princess to connect, the marriage of their girls may not be so difficult. For the favor of the princess, we wish the family to owe a lot, the last general. Keep that in mind and be grateful.”
Xie Xuanchen said: "She always stays in the house, and she is often bored. It is rare to find someone with her. In the future, I will trouble your wife to accompany her more. When someone invites her, she can go out with confidence."
Although Xie Xuanchen was not convinced, Mu Mingtang said he was bored, but at least he knew that he was always in the palace, which was really boring. It is really rare to have someone who is speculative and trustworthy on a topic to accompany Mu Mingtang to relax outside.
After the two took care of each other, their relationship became unprecedentedly harmonious. I wish Yang Hong to take advantage of the momentum and take the opportunity to talk about trivial matters in the Privy Council. Although Zhu Yang Hong was transferred back to the capital, it was a remarkable promotion in the eyes of everyone, but Zhu Yang Hong's experience in the Privy Council during this period of time was not very pleasant.
He is a military general, and the officials of the Privy Council and even the whole capital are basically civil officials. There is a natural estrangement between military generals and civil officials, and Zhu Yang Hongzhen can't talk to those people together.
In this way, his position is very embarrassing. The generals feel that he is promoted, proud of the spring breeze, and goes in and out with the civil servants. It is inevitable that they will feel bad about him; but the civil servants do not see him as a reckless man, and will not let him handle any important matters. , faintly guarding him. Even the emperor only put him on the bright side as a display, but he didn't actually entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Such a situation is very different from what Zhu Yanghong imagined. When Zhu Yang Hong was in Yazhou, he was the head coach of the famous town. His subordinates treated him with respect, and the people also respected him when they saw him. Unexpectedly, when he was in the capital, the capital, the treatment was completely changed.
Just because Zhu Yang Hong was a military officer, he was born inferior, and he should feel honored when a civil servant talked to him, even if he was scorned, it was a due thing. Zhu Yang Hong has fully realized that in this environment, he will never be able to come forward.
This kind of feeling is not good. Let Zhu Yanghong be embarrassed. He has already passed half of his life, and his name is false, but his daughter's marriage has also been affected, which makes Zhu Yanghong very difficult to accept.
Therefore, it is not polite for Zhu Yanghong to say that he is grateful to Mu Mingtang. Without Mu Mingtang's connection, Zhu's family would not be able to enter the circle of the capital from the beginning, and no one would look at his daughter. Now that there is Mu Mingtang's face, Mrs. Zhu's social situation has greatly improved, but even so, Zhu Yuqing's sisters are still picked and judged by the civil servant's wife.
I wish Yang Hong's life is almost over, fame and fortune are not so important to him anymore. However, Zhu Yanghong found in despair that if this trend was allowed to spread, his children and grandchildren would be discriminated against just like him, or even far worse than him.
It's about the children, Zhu Yang Hong couldn't sit still. However, the emperor and the courtier, the rulers are different, and the upper and lower atmospheres are also completely different. The emperor made it clear that he was afraid of military generals and wanted to compromise and seek peace. There are several princes in the palace today, and none of them are related to the military.
After thinking about it, their way out, the way out for their descendants, and even the way out for the entire country, still falls on Xie Xuanchen, the king of Qiyang.
I wish Yang Hong started the Chinese New Year, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind to get closer to Xie Xuanchen. However, there is a premise for all of this, that is, Xie Xuanchen's health, at least not at any time. It would be even better if there was an offspring.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yang Hong sincerely persuaded Xie Xuanchen from a political standpoint and a man's standpoint: "My lord, it's not too late for everything. You are now too old, and it's time to have children."
If it was someone else, I wish Yang Hong would have asked him face to face. It's been a year since we got married and there's still no news. The hit is too low. If it is a literati, it is very common to have no children for a year, but it is really low among military generals.
Xie Xuanchen recognized Zhu Yanghong's words from his tone, and his face gradually became ugly.
Mu Mingtang climbed the mountain today and watched the peach blossoms in the Buddhist temple for a long time.
But Xie Xuanchen, it seems that is not the case.
From the second half of the Buddhist temple, he became very silent, always looking like he was thinking about something. Now that he's home, he doesn't look very interested.
Mu Mingtang planned to be Jie Yuhua once, so he approached Xie Xuanchen very intimately and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?"
Xie Xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang: "What to describe, am I the kind of person who is disgusting and disgusting?"
Mu Mingtang was hesitant to say anything, and he was not disgusting, but Xie Xuanchen really did hurt the spring and the autumn.
Mu Mingtang had already discovered that, among the two of them, although Mu Mingtang was a woman and Xie Xuanchen was a man with strong force, Xie Xuanchen was actually the one who thought more. On the contrary, it is Mu Mingtang, who has a big heart.
Xie Xuanchen is really easy to think wildly. For example, now, Mu Mingtang didn't know where he touched the master's delicate and fragile glass heart, making him depressed all the way.
Mu Mingtang couldn't guess Xie Xuanchen's thoughts, so he asked directly: "You were in a bad mood when you were in the Buddhist temple, why? What did Zhu Yanghong tell you?"
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you really want to listen?"
"certainly."
"Okay." Xie Xuanchen nodded, glanced down at her, and smiled suddenly, "He asked us when we want to have a child, so he can give you a heavy gift to repay the favor you gave to Zhu's daughter."
Mu Mingtang was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.
A smile appeared in Xie Xuanchen's eyes, and he looked at her calmly. Mu Mingtang stayed for a while, and found that Xie Xuanchen looked at her and smiled, and slowly reacted: "Are you kidding me again?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Sure enough, you were lying to me." Mu Mingtang didn't know if he was relieved or what, but he felt less embarrassed. "You are a person who has been taught repeatedly, is it true or false?"
Mu Mingtang's eyes widened, obviously anxious. Xie Xuanchen said slowly, "Of course it's fake."
As soon as Mu Mingtang relaxed, he heard Xie Xuanchen continue to say, "He didn't plan to give the child a red envelope. The gift is what I said."
Mu Mingtang's face was stunned, she was stunned for a while, and she was so angry that she hit Xie Xuanchen: "You can't finish it!"
Xie Xuanchen leaned back slightly and held Mu Mingtang's hand firmly: "This is true. I really didn't lie to you, you can ask Zhu Yanghong if you don't believe it."
Mu Mingtang's face became more and more red, and even his hands and feet were uncomfortable. With such an embarrassing topic, Mu Mingtang had no idea why Xie Xuanchen could be so calm, and even looked into her eyes without hesitation.
Mu Mingtang also wanted to pretend to be calm, but with one mouth, her voice betrayed her: "Then what did you... say?"
"I can only tell the truth." Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang with a smile, and said solemnly, "After all, I can't give birth to a child by myself, it depends on you."
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, as expected, he saw Mu Mingtang's blushing neck. He knew that if he continued to be mean, he would be alone tonight, so he surrendered himself very obediently: "I am teasing you, I didn't tell him anything. I know what you are going to scold, don't be angry, Speak slowly."
Mu Mingtang's eyes slowly widened, from suspicion to disbelief to anger, and finally on the verge of eruption. Xie Xuanchen was afraid that she would say something like sleeping in a separate room again, so he quickly held her hand and put the other hand on Mu Mingtang's shoulder, and changed the subject immediately: "It's your birthday soon. How do you want to spend your birthday?"
