Chapter 32

In the name of Xiaoshi, Mu Mingtang takes Xie xuanchen for a walk in the open air. Mu Mingtang was stunned before. Yesterday, when Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei visited, Mu Mingtang suddenly realized that such a big palace belongs to their family. Why should it be confined indoors?

Mu Mingtang is too aware of the difference between living outside and not seeing the sun all the time. Xie xuanchen has a pessimistic attitude towards his illness, which may be because he feels guilty about what he has done, or because no one has ever shared with him. However, Mu Mingtang wants Xie xuanchen to live well.

People who are sick, especially Xie xuanchen, who is sick of heart, just drink medicine doesn't work. He has to come out by himself. Only by basking in the sun every day, touching the wind and water, making your appearance look the best, and talking to outsiders more, can you change a person's appearance as quickly as possible.

Mu Mingtang forces Xie xuanchen to walk in the garden. She just goes to the place where the imperial doctor is on duty to explore the way in the name of walking. They walked slowly through yunruizhai, around the moon gate and through the bamboo forest. A gust of autumn wind blowing, withered leaves sound like children crying, Mu Mingtang through the whirling bamboo shadow, saw a familiar building.

Mu Mingtang pointed to the direction of the house and said, "look, isn't that Jingzhai. I was there before, and I was locked up for days. "

She doesn't care about these things now, and she just says it in a childish way, but Xie xuanchen looks at it with her fingers and falls into silence.

After Mu Mingtang finished, he didn't remember anything. He still helped Xie xuanchen forward: "I remember there was a lake in front of me. Look, it's there."

The sound of running water is murmuring, the autumn wind is blowing, and there are circles of ripples on the water. Seeing this, Mu Mingtang sighed: "it's enough to raise fish in such a big water. How can you say it's just a small pond?"

Her tone was too serious. Xie xuanchen was amused by the sentence "fish culture" and said: "if you really want to raise fish, it's not impossible, but the fish don't grow up here. It's better to go to the living water in front of you."

Mu Mingtang shook his head: "I'm just talking. I don't want to bother. By the way, which direction is xuezhai? "

Xie xuanchen across the water, pointing in another direction. Mu Mingtang craned his neck and nodded slightly: "I probably have a few. Well, it's very sad here. Let's go back. "

"It's coming back?" Xie xuanchen is surprised, "you recite so long, don't go to the lake to have a look?"

"No Mu Mingtang seems to have a bad idea. He smiles cunningly at Xie xuanchen, "after watching this time, you won't come out with me next time. I'll keep it for the next time. "

Mind really much, anyway Xie xuanchen doesn't matter, arranged by Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang today's goal has been achieved, also dare not let Xie xuanchen stay in the cold wind, quickly help him back to the house.

Sure enough, after returning to the house, Xie xuanchen showed his tired color, and his fingers were as cold as ice. Mu Mingtang quickly poured him a cup of warm water, warmed his hands, and then helped him go back to sleep.

Xie xuanchen was really tired and almost fell asleep 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 be too far away from Xie xuanchen. So she asked the servant girl to move the gift list from yesterday. She sat outside the screen and checked each item slowly.

Yesterday, the emperor sent many rewards, and the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager also offered many gifts for the sake of face. Mu Mingtang didn't have time yesterday. He just made a rough list and asked people to move the boxes back to the warehouse. However, the management of property can not be so rough. If there is no clear list, it is difficult to ensure that people will take things out secretly and sell them outside for money. After all, the warehouse is so big that Mu Mingtang can't remember all of them. Who knows if one or two things are missing.

When her father was in business, he told her several times about the importance of books. It's easy to gather money, but hard to keep it. If you just make money outside, you'll be confused about your family's account book, and you'll be defeated.

Xie xuanchen's condition is a bit of a black sheep.

Mu Mingtang dares to guarantee that Xie xuanchen has no time to pay attention these years, and there is no principal in the house. Xie xuanchen's property must have been stolen and even hollowed out. Mu Mingtang couldn't manage what had happened, but now that she came, she would never allow it to happen again.

The whole palace needs a big overall planning, not only the Treasury, but also the expenditure in other places. For example, the curtains in the idle houses are not occupied. They are changed every season, which is too wasteful. Moreover, the replaced fabric is completely new. In fact, it does not affect the second sale. If it is cheaper, it can be dealt with again.

It's a business without capital. The slave in charge of this business didn't know how much money he took out of the palace by reselling the curtain.

However, Mu Mingtang is still unable to clean up these moths. Her top priority is to sort out a pamphlet from the warehouse. Just take the gold and silver wares as an example. How many gold and silver wares are placed up and down in the palace, what size and weight they are, what patterns are engraved on them, how they came from, where they are placed, and who they are handled by should be detailed. Not only the quantity, but also the size and weight should not be recorded carelessly. Otherwise, Diao Nu secretly took out the bag and they could not detect it.

I don't know. I'm scared. Mu Mingtang found that Xie xuanchen's wealth is really very rich, not to mention gold and silver jewelry, and many of them are unique products in the imperial palace. Some of them are rewards, others are brought back by Xie xuanchen after he killed the emperor.Mu Mingtang was shocked when he counted. How many emperors' houses did Xie xuanchen copy.

Starting from yesterday's rewards, Mu Mingtang roughly classified them. The perishable silk and silk should be stored separately, the gold and silver articles given by the emperor should be written clearly, and the porcelain and jade articles should be stored separately because they are fragile. Mu Mingtang thought about how to allocate the warehouse space in his mind. As a result, he had to change a piece of paper to make a special note.

Although Mu Mingtang's family background was looked down upon by Jiang Mingwei, his business status was low, and his family was not short of money. Mufu invited Mu Mingtang to teach him since he was a child. Mu Mingtang was literate and read the four books, five classics and the songs of Chu. But if she was asked to write poems and Fu, it would not work.

After all, Mufu invited Mu Mingtang to be a teacher in order to make her literate. No one in the family expected her to become a talented woman. Even Mu Mingtang did not think that she would step into the official class and even become a princess.

This is the wonderful part of life. No one can predict what will happen in the future. We can only try our best to let every minute and every second of the present not be wasted.

Mu Mingtang's stall became bigger and bigger, and the paper account book was placed on the table. When she was eating, she was thinking about how to organize the roster.

In the afternoon, Mu Mingtang is not only busy, but also asks his servant girl to turn around. She kept calling the servant girl to come over, not only to inquire about the situation, but also to register the person who handled it. Xie xuanchen wakes up in the afterglow. When he wakes up, the west window is full of sunshine. At this moment, the sun is not as aggressive as at noon, but with orange, through the pane, a wisp of reflection in the house, as if to all covered with a layer of broken gold.

Xie xuanchen slowly stands up. Through the screen, Mu Mingtang is sitting on the Luohan bed. She is leaning on the fence in one hand and holding the account book in the other. Her long skirt is like Magnolia in a Golden Vase.

There is a servant girl waiting beside Luohan's bed. Mu Mingtang seems to be asking questions. She asks a question, and the servant girl answers it. Mu Mingtang checks the book from time to time. She inquired so seriously that she didn't find that Xie xuanchen was awake.

Xie xuanchen did not make a sound, still quietly sitting on the bed, quietly watching Mu Mingtang outside the screen.

Xie xuanchen found that Mu Mingtang did everything very seriously, ate very seriously, and even asked questions so seriously. It was as if they would live here for a long time, as if they had a long-term and bright future, so that she had to straighten out her good hands and put so much effort into an account book.

Xie xuanchen suddenly felt guilty. She is too serious, often let Xie xuanchen feel difficult to fight. The Emperor gave him a big reward. Xie Xuanji dared to tell him in his face that his elder brother and younger brother were together. The imperial doctor didn't even bother to feel his pulse. Everyone thinks that he won't live long, or even this winter. Only mu Mingtang stubbornly plans for the future and seeks medical advice for him.

Mu Mingtang wasted a lot of words, and finally asked the context clearly. She said dry mouth, send small servant girl to leave, turn around to pour tea on the table.

Turning around like this, Mu Mingtang finally sees that Xie xuanchen has woken up. Startled, she threw down her pen and paper and walked quickly behind the screen: "how did you wake up? You wake up without saying a word, and I find out now. "

Mu Mingtang poured a cup of warm water from the table and tried to reach the temperature with his fingers before handing it to Xie xuanchen. But this time Xie xuanchen didn't move. Instead, he asked, "what were you doing just now?"

"Oh, I'm asking who has passed through the furnishings of Qingxin hall. No one has been in charge of the palace for a long time. All of a sudden, there are so many people, so there's no way to do anything. After one person passed through one person's hand, it was not long before three or two things were missing, and they could not be found. There's no way to deal with what has happened. I'll register what I have now, and I'll register what I've passed. If I lose it again, I won't be the big culprit. "

It turns out that it's not an easy job to register. It costs 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: "it's troublesome to think about these things. It's not only time-consuming and laborious, but also extremely thankless to deal with people below. Anyway, no one in the palace dares to short your food and clothing. You just need to enjoy it. Why bother? "

"How can that work." After hearing this, Mu Mingtang was very serious and taught Xie xuanchen, "this is not the way to run a family for a long time. It's easy to live happily, but the hardest to live soberly. The more you don't want to worry, the more people below will deceive you. In the long run, won't your family have to lose money? It's just to set up rules from the beginning. When they understand the good and bad, they dare not cross the line. "

Xie xuanchen is more silent when she hears these words. She is really seriously preparing for their future life. She can say it without even thinking about it. In the long run.

Xie xuanchen stopped for a while and said, "if not later?"

The expression on Mu Mingtang's face was stunned for a moment. She raised her eyes to see Xie xuanchen. Xie xuanchen's expression was flat, as if what she said was an ordinary thing.

"How can there be no future?" Mu Mingtang stood up and put down the curtain, blocking some dazzling sunshine outside. Through the gauze, the sun became shadowy, and even her figure became blurred: "your disease is never in Taiyi, but in yourself. If you want to, no matter what they say, you can stick to it. "Xie xuanchen leaned back on the bedstead and slowly rubbed the tea cup in his hand: "little girl, life is not about your parents encouraging you to go to school. When you get sick, it's not about sticking to it. Do you think I haven't tried? You're not me. You don't know what it's like to hope and despair again and again. "

"Yes, I don't know." Mu Mingtang went to the bedside, regardless of the skirt sitting on the foot, looked up straight at Xie xuanchen, "I don't know, so I selfish, please try again. You have nothing to worry about, no ambition, but I still have. Can you live for me? "

Xie xuanchen closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the bedstead, and his slender fingers didn't move. Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Mingtang changed his comfortable sitting posture and leaned on the edge of the bed with his chin propped up: "you must feel presumptuous. You know me for a few days. I'm no better for you than Jiang Mingwei is for you. All the same, we remember you unilaterally, but you have no impression. It's just that I'm luckier than her. I finally married you, but she didn't

"But I was selfishly reluctant to let go. Since I was born, I have never won over 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, even my marriage. Because she's back, no matter what I've paid for it, I'll make way for her immediately. Not only that, I once wholeheartedly regarded him as my husband. In order to please Jiang Mingwei, I gave him to others. A woman's sorrow is nothing more than that. "

Mu Mingtang sighed and stretched out his hand to Xie xuanchen to straighten the wrinkles on his sleeve: "but I have only one thing to win her, that is, I married the person I longed for most in my girlhood, but she didn't. Not only that, I can let her call me sister-in-law and show off in front of her all day. You just think that I'm not sensible, that I'm selfish and narrow-minded, and that I'll continue to live for my ridiculous competitiveness, OK? "

Mu Mingtang said with tears in her eyes. She lowered her head, buried her face in the quilt and sniffed. I don't know how long later, she felt a hand covering her back. He seemed to want to comfort her, but he was afraid that he could not control her strength well, so he just rubbed her hair: "OK."

Mu Mingtang is crying, vaguely heard what voice, immediately wrapped in tears, looked up: "what do you say?"

"I said yes. Don't cry Xie xuanchen held his hand rigidly. He was carrying it just now. Mu Mingtang raised his head and rubbed his hair against his hand. Xie xuanchen didn't know whether to put it down or to take it back. He could only keep still.

Mu Mingtang is still crying just now. When he hears Xie xuanchen's words, he seems to be bleeding for a moment. His tears are taken back quickly: "are you serious?"

"Well." Xie xuanchen sighed in his heart. He didn't think it was a good thing for him to live in the world, and he didn't think he could steal his life from heaven. But there was always some emotion in his heart. He had been alone and had made great contributions. Maybe more than that, but the girl's life had just begun. She has experienced so many ups and downs, but she is still bright and happy. If she marries another person, she will be loved by her husband and live a safe and smooth life with children and grandchildren.

But she married him, and even peace became a problem. He has already implicated so many people that he can no longer implicate such a young girl. He can't give her perfection, but he must give her stability.

He lives a few more days, plans longer, and has more chips. These are all the ways left for her to retreat.

Mu Mingtang didn't guess the circle in Xie xuanchen's heart. She immediately got up happily, got up from her feet, sat down beside Xie xuanchen and said, "if you think about it, you'll be fine. I just wanted to be angry with you on purpose. When you die, I will marry with your property. I'm pretty good-looking, and with my rich dowry, it's not hard for me to find my next family. At that time, not only your wife will be given to others, but also your house and property will be given to others

Xie xuanchen found that Mu Mingtang succeeded. He bit his teeth and said, "shut up."

Although he intellectually knew that if he died, Mu Mingtang would remarry sooner or later. But understand to understand, wait really from Mu Mingtang mouth hear, why so harsh?
