After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he hurriedly went to see the other altars, yes, that's all. Even if there is no sign, it is inexplicably recognizable.
Mu Mingtang's eyes were hot, and he suddenly wanted to cry. Xie Xuanchen walked to her side, saw that her eyes were suddenly red, and asked softly, "what's the matter?"
Mu Mingtang shook his head, speechless. She lowered her head and wiped her tears, and asked in a nasal voice, "How did you find it?"
"If you want to look for it, you can find it naturally." Xie Xuanchen said in a soft voice, "Although Xiangyang suffered from war, but the wine was buried in the ground, it escaped. Later, your house was occupied by others, and they didn't know that there was wine underground. , so it has been well preserved. After I sent someone to find it, I rushed to the capital. "
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he added casually: "Naturally, the people who occupied your house have been driven away. I bought the house again and settled in your name. It is still being repaired in the past few days, and it will be repaired. , when do you want to go back, I will accompany you to Xiangyang to see."
Mu Mingtang wanted to cry again, she wiped the tears from her eyelashes, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you."
Xie Xuanchen reached out and touched the top of her head, and said, "Tell me thank you. It's a big deal, don't cry."
Xie Xuanchen wanted to divert her attention, and said deliberately, "You count, how many altars are there?"
Mu Mingtang was indeed taken away by Xie Xuanchen's words. She counted it carefully and said in surprise, "Seventeen jars? How could it be possible, my parents only buried me in twelve jars, and if we count our afternoon, it's only thirteen jars. How can there be seventeen jars of wine?"
Mu Mingtang turned to look at Xie Xuanchen: "You did it? But I'm only sixteen years old this year, why should I bury the seventeenth altar?"
Hearing this question, Xie Xuanchen sighed with some vicissitudes. Although he didn't speak, Mu Mingtang looked at his performance and remembered it himself.
Yes, she seemed to have told Xie Xuanchen before that her father and mother buried a jar of wine for her every birthday, and her father also said that at least seventeen jars would be buried before letting her marry.
Turns out, that's what happened.
Mu Mingtang was really convinced, Xie Xuanchen looked at everything regardless of the roughness of life, but in fact his heart was so delicate. She couldn't remember it herself, but Xie Xuanchen could actually notice it.
Mu Mingtang was amazed, but Xie Xuanchen has always been a big man in her position. She was embarrassed to express her thoughts in front of Xie Xuanchen, so she asked in a different direction: "What are the other altars?"
Xie Xuanchen showed a serious look, and thoughtfully said: "It may be water."
Mu Mingtang glared at him: "I asked you about your business, I didn't joke with you."
"It's really water." Xie Xuanchen also looked at Mu Mingtang frankly, and said, "If you don't believe me, open a jar and try it, maybe you can just drink water."
Mu Mingtang was skeptical, she felt that no one would do such a boring thing, but after thinking about it, Xie Xuanchen could really do such a thing. She stared at him suspiciously for a while, then found a few extra jars of wine and picked one for someone to open.
Xie Xuanchen was surprised and asked, "How do you know these altars?"
"Of course I can recognize the things at home." Mu Mingtang pointed to the wine on the ground and said, "This is the wine we buried together this afternoon. These were prepared for me by my parents in the past, and the rest were raw. Of course you were prepared."
The maid opened the wine, put it in two wine utensils, and brought it to Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang took it and took a sip, frowned immediately, and looked at Xie Xuanchen accusingly: "It's wine, you lied to me."
Xie Xuanchen tutted softly and said, "I didn't expect that you actually believed it."
Mu Mingtang was very angry, Xie Xuanchen always lied to her, but she believed it every time. Mu Mingtang got angry and said, "You are always like this, I will never trust you again."
"I'm teasing you. Although I lied to you at first, when did I really lie to you later?"
"No?" Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen suspiciously, "Why do I remember so many times?"
Seeing Mu Mingtang with such eyes, Xie Xuanchen was also a little panicked. Did he really lie? Xie Xuanchen wasn't sure, so he quickly changed the subject: "No, you remembered it wrong. Don't you want to drink, just at this beautiful time, beautiful wine and beautiful lady, let's have a drink?"
Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen and thought that she was indeed a beauty. So she nodded and said, "Okay."
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, when he turned his head and saw the dark maid behind him, he frowned in disgust: "Why are you still here? Let's go, I don't want to see you."
The disgust in the prince's tone was so real that the maids felt a little hurt. They didn't dare to disturb the prince's interest any more, and after putting down the drinking utensils, they filed out.
The maid had previously hung a lantern on the corridor, but now that the maid has left, the garden does not feel dark. Mu Mingtang looked around and said, "You should have asked them to keep their seats just now. Now that everyone has been sent away by you, where do we sit?"
Xie Xuanchen scoffed at this question, he directly lifted his robe and sat on the wooden steps, his long legs crossed the steps, and placed them on the ground at will: "The road is dead, people are alive, there are so many things around, we can still Can't find a place to sit?"
Mu Mingtang also thought about it, she had been spoiled for so long that she forgot the feeling of sitting on the ground. She imitated Xie Xuanchen and sat on the steps. She didn't think there was any problem when she stood there just now. After sitting down, Mu Mingtang realized that something was not right.
"Why can't I put my legs on the ground?"
Xie Xuanchen glanced down and suggested, "How about you sit down two steps?"
Mu Mingtang was hurt by these words, she gave Xie Xuanchen a hard look, and said angrily, "I don't!"
After speaking, she tried hard to reach the ground, but it was very difficult for her to straighten her legs, but Xie Xuanchen could easily step on the ground.
Xie Xuanchen looked at it for a while, and said truthfully: "It's not a problem of posture, it's simply that the length is not enough. Or let's change to a place with lower steps, can you try again?"
Mu Mingtang seemed to be humiliating herself. She silently retracted her cramping leg and stubbornly maintained her last dignity: "No need."
Xie Xuanchen wisely stopped mentioning this topic. He took the wine glass, filled her with wine again, and handed it to Mu Mingtang.
The night wind is swaying, and the spring wind is gentle even in the night. Begonia fell with the night wind, like a red rain.
Many petals fell to Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang looked at the flying begonia petals in front of him, obviously there was nothing like his former home, but Mu Mingtang just felt that he had returned to his hometown.
Perhaps, this peace of mind is my hometown.
After a glass of wine was drunk, Mu Mingtang looked up at the stars in the sky and asked, "Do you know the stars in the sky?"
Xie Xuanchen was pouring wine for Mu Mingtang. Hearing this, he just took time to look up and said, "I probably recognize a few."
Mu Mingtang took the wine and drank it in small sips: "Then you can point me to the stars."
Xie Xuanchen naturally had nothing to do with him. He picked out a few recognizable ones and pointed them to Mu Mingtang one by one. He was afraid that she would find it boring, so he chose a few strange and wild legends and stories to tell her. Mu Mingtang's drinking capacity was not good, so listening to Xie Xuanchen's words, he didn't notice it. Xie Xuanchen handed her a cup, and she just drank it and fainted after a while.
She forgot that this was not the crabapple wine brewed at home, but prepared by Xie Xuanchen. The wine he prepared has great stamina.
Mu Mingtang fluttered, she sat and listened at first, and then slowly leaned against the fence. Not knowing when, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Xie Xuanchen noticed that Mu Mingtang was not moving, and when he turned his head, he was already asleep. In fact, Xie Xuanchen didn't drink much, but Mu Mingtang was drunk.
At this time, the atmosphere is just right, the sky is full of stars, and the flowers are falling like rain. She fell asleep leaning on the porch, her face was reddish, like a begonia, very delicate.
Above his head are the stars, and beside him is Begonia. Obviously there is nothing involved, but at this moment it makes people feel extra peaceful.
The spring breeze has warmed up recently, and the night is neither cloudy nor cold, so I am not afraid that Mu Mingtang will catch a cold when he falls asleep. Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang's peaceful sleeping face, his heart was calm and content, but also ready to move.
Zhu Yanghong asked him why he wanted a child, and Ma Chong also euphemistically said in the letter that he should consider a child.
He used to be full of power and power in the world, and he couldn't imagine that he would start a family and start a business, or even have children with another person. After the accident, he didn't even want to live, let alone have children.
But when Zhu Yang Hong talked about this a few days ago, Xie Xuanchen found that although he was surprised, he did not reject it. If this person is Mu Mingtang, he just thinks that there will be a child in the future, with the blood of him and Mu Mingtang, who looks like both his father and his mother, and he feels extremely looking forward to it.
If he really has the opportunity to have his own children in the future, he must tell him from an early age that you are the best, and there is no need to compare with anyone in the world.
He wants to be a strict but not alienating father, at least, not like him and Xie Yi.
Xie Xuanchen was playing with the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Xie Xuanchen clicked his tongue in disgust, and threw the silver cup to the ground.
Such a small cup, what is the strength to drink. If you get angry when you drink it, you might as well not drink it.
He also supported on the railing and looked back at Mu Mingtang's sleeping face. She slept really quietly. In fact, Xie Xuanchen didn't sleep well before, but since Mu Mingtang came to him and saw that Mu Mingtang slept so peacefully and peacefully, Xie Xuanchen was inexplicably able to fall asleep quickly.
Although he has no experience, it does not mean that he does not understand. He felt at ease when Mu Mingtang slept next to him. He used to let Mu Mingtang remarry, but then he didn't want to. He never thought about having children before, or even getting married, but if that person was Mu Mingtang , I am looking forward to it.
and so on. These changes, in fact, all point to a problem. He likes the person around him so much that he is infused with blood, willing to put down the butcher's knife for her, willing to bring her own shackles, and willing to regroup for her and seek the top of her power.
Fortunately, this person is his wife, and they will be bound together for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, she was also his wife, she knew him too early, but he was too late.
The established mode of getting along has been formed, and if you want to go further, you are always worried about gains and losses, and you are tied.
Xie Xuanchen sighed sadly.
It's a really fucked up thing.
The more Xie Xuanchen thought about it, the more tragic he felt. He stared at Mu Mingtang and always felt that the wine in her glass was better. Now he can see the water on Mu Mingtang's lips.
Xie Xuanchen thought that taking advantage of others to be unprepared like this would not be considered a decent gentleman, but then he thought, he was not a decent gentleman at all, so he didn't care about the theories of these nerds. The thought seems to be bewitching. Xie Xuanchen looked more and more eager to move, and finally couldn't help but leaned over and kissed the corner of Mu Mingtang's lips.
The kiss was instantly parted, and Xie Xuanchen sat up quickly as if he had done something bad. It's obviously just a very light wine smell, but Xie Xuanchen seems to be drinking too much, and he is very high, and the whole person is dizzy.
A little drunk, but he knew very well that he wasn't.
Xie Xuanchen leaned on the railing and calmed down for a while. The night wind was gentle, and the fragrance was floating. Xie Xuanchen sat for a long time, and finally sighed.
He got up and picked up Mu Mingtang, stepped on the petals of begonia all over the floor, and walked slowly towards the bedroom. He understands his own feelings, and also understands that Mu Mingtang's feelings for him are not to this extent.
Even he suspects far less.
The child's affairs are not in a hurry. This is a matter of course. In contrast, he is more anxious about Mu Mingtang's brain.
He had to find a way to make Mu Mingtang change his mind, otherwise, she really thought she was still young and played with children.
