Chapter 40

After Jiang Mingwei finished, the people who sat with her did not dare to answer for a long time. At last, Jiang Mingwei's friends laughed and said one after another, "yes, although Wang an connives at Princess an, they have never met before. They are not as deep as the king of Jin and Mingwei

"Yes, I think it's better to marry someone like Mingwei. The couple have both feelings and common elegant hobbies. It's a pleasure to recite poems in opposition. After all, what would it look like if the husband just left a pile of money to spend when he got married? "

"I think so, too. Mingwei has a good relationship with her husband. She manages her house in good order. Even her relatives and elders praise Mingwei everywhere. Mingwei, what's your secret? Why don't you teach us some? "

……

The rest of the ladies, who were not in Jian'an lane, looked at each other and laughed, no longer interrupting.

This is stepped on what painful foot, actually jump so high? If it's really like what Jiang Mingwei said, she doesn't care at all. Why did she say so much?

Do you want to persuade yourself or others.

Jiang Mingwei's face gradually looked good after singing a duet over there, and everyone knew that it was almost over. Someone could not bear to be curious and asked, "Princess Jin, I heard that you often go to Prince an's residence?"

"That's right." Jiang Mingwei should say that it's not as frequent as they claimed. Especially recently, Jiang Mingwei has been ill, and she is not going to "please" any more. However, Mu Mingtang doesn't go out to socialize, and outsiders don't know the actual situation. It's not up to Jiang Mingwei?

Jiang Mingwei said: "the officials don't worry about the second brother's illness. Let's take care of it from time to time. Wang Ye is also a man of pure filial piety. He has great respect for his elder brother. No matter how busy he is, he always goes to ask for illness in person

"The king and Princess of Jin are really pure and filial." Jiang Mingwei's face did not change, and her mouth was deliberately modest. A lady's voice changed and said, "Princess Jin often meets Princess an. I don't know what kind of person Princess an is."

Jiang Mingwei tone a stagnation, did not expect how to turn the topic in this direction. Jiang Mingwei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said vaguely, "this It's hard for me to say that. After all, I'm a junior. I dare not talk about my sister-in-law. "

"Oh, yes." The lady murmured in a low voice and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I haven't met Princess Ann yet. I'd like to have a banquet at home in a few days. I wonder if it's my honor to invite Princess an to come? Princess an and I have no relatives, so it's not easy to visit rashly. We also ask the princess of Jin to get in touch with each other. I'm very grateful to you, Princess Jin. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Mingwei has no choice but to refuse. After this lady threw an invitation to Mu Mingtang, it wasn't long before other people followed suit, and the invitation flew to Prince an's house like snow.

Mu Mingtang is so famous that people in Beijing can't pretend they don't know. She has spent a lot of money on buying a building. Some people have been very curious about her for a long time. It's just that Mu Mingtang lives in seclusion and seldom shows up. The more mysterious she is, the more curious other people are.

As soon as someone starts, invitation cards rush in, including those who enjoy flowers, those who visit gardens, and those who go to the mountains to offer incense There are many names.

Mu Mingtang came into the house with a fruit tray and found that the hall was quiet. She walked all the way to the west end and saw Xie xuanchen standing in front of the window looking at the trees outside. Hearing the voice, he turned back and saw Mu Mingtang's surprise: "Why are you still there?"

Mu Mingtang didn't understand. She put the fruit tray on the ebony table and asked, "I'm not here. Where should I be?"

"Aren't you going to visit the great prime minister Temple today?"

"No, there are too many people in the great prime minister's temple. Once they come back, they will be gone for a day. So when you wake up, I'm sure I can't come back. After thinking about it, I still refuse. "

Daxiangguo temple is not only a Buddhist temple, but also a very prosperous area. The whole street outside the temple is full of traders, and there are many theatres and hurdles around it, which is very lively.

The female dependents outside asked Mu Mingtang to go to Xiangguo Temple, which was an excellent place to attack and defend. You don't have to worry about fame when you go to the Xiangguo Temple. If you go to the Xiangguo Temple, you can't leave immediately. You have to watch it in the temple for a while. If the conversation is congenial, then it's natural to go to the restaurants and tea shops outside. The surrounding area of the great prime minister temple is so busy that it's not hard to pass the time.

Xie xuanchen turned his head and looked out at the barren branches: "my illness doesn't get in the way. I won't die if I leave people. If you want to go out, you can go out. You've been staying in the house for a long time. I'm afraid you'll be sick. "

"I'm not bored." Mu Mingtang picked a new orange and slowly peeled it off. "I don't know these women. It's not good for these women to ask me. I don't want to be surrounded like a monkey. It's better to be at home with you than with them

As he peeled the oranges, Mu Mingtang went to the window and said, "it's windy outside. You're blown by the wind carefully. Close the window first. "

Xie xuanchen still looked at the distance, motionless. After a while, he seemed to laugh at himself and said, "even the wind can't blow. They chained me, and now I'm chaining you. In fact, I am a part of the shackles"Don't say that." Mu Mingtang put half of the peeled oranges on the small high table by the window and said to Xie xuanchen, "if the people inside don't want to be locked up, it's called imprisonment. If they do, 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 are only 15 years old. At your age, you should go to see flowers and gardens, go to poetry parties in Chinese brocade, or watch young men of the same age play polo. Instead of being confined to a dead mansion with a patient. "

Mu Mingtang stares round eyes and stares at Xie xuanchen all the time, but he always looks out of the window, leaving only a cold side face radian. Mu Mingtang's fingertips still smell of fresh oranges. She wiped off the residual juice from her fingertips and said, "turn around, I have something to tell you."

Xie xuanchen just closed his eyes and didn't cooperate. Mu Mingtang grabbed his clothes and said, "this is what I want. I've got a husband. What do other teenagers do when they play polo? "

Xie xuanchen closed his eyes and saw a desolate darkness. Mu Mingtang is still young. She is only half a child. She doesn't know what is love between men and women, and what is daily necessities. She now, including what she said to him before, is actually saving her life and blinding her senses. She thinks it's like, but it's just gratitude.

Life and vision are different. She's still young, so she's running around him, but it's not healthy at all. Really normal, 14-5 feelings, should be impulsive and shy. In order to show off his ability to do evil to his sweetheart, the young man shows himself everywhere. The young girl stands in the distance, shy to approach, and unwilling to walk away.

Instead of their abnormal, mixed feelings of gratitude, fantasy and gratitude. At the beginning, when he saved Mu Mingtang, she was on the verge of life and death. For the rest of her life, she was nervous, afraid and dependent, and naturally transplanted this kind of emotion into him. She thought it was like, but it wasn't at all.

She is still young and can't tell the difference. When she really understands, she will feel painful. He can't give her the warmth and company of a normal husband and wife, and even can't accompany her to go out, but she has to take care of him in turn and pay for her life for a bottomless hole.

When she really meets the person she likes, with that irrepressible impulse and yearning, I'm afraid she can understand what he said today. Xie xuanchen sometimes regretted that Mu Mingtang didn't understand, but also congratulated that she didn't understand. He didn't dare to imagine. When Mu Mingtang found out that she had been cheated, what would he think of him?

A despicable cheater of marriage, a despicable person who takes advantage of women's ignorance when they are young.

After Mu Mingtang finished, he knew that Xie xuanchen had not been convinced. She didn't know why Xie xuanchen had such a strange idea. She took Xie xuanchen's arm and asked, "what do you mean by that? Since we just got married, you have been saying this. At first, you let me run away with things, and then you advised me to remarry. Now, you still think that I should go out to visit the garden to meet young men? What do you think of me? "

"You are too young to understand. Although Xie Xuanji's grandson is not a thing, his words are not wrong. Marriage is not a child's house, it is not enough to be grateful. You are small now, so you don't care. When you grow up, you will regret it later. "

"I'm not small!" Mu Mingtang was about to explode. "Why do you think I don't know the human suffering and what I'm doing? I've known for a long time that just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean I'm younger. 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 believe my feelings! "

"Feelings?" Xie xuanchen was finally willing to look at her, with a faint smile on his lips, "do you know what is emotion?"

"I know." Mu Mingtang finished, fixed to see into Xie xuanchen's eyes, "don't understand, is you."

Xie xuanchen used to look at her with the same mentality as an adult looking at a child's mischief. A five-year-old child made a vow, and the person concerned also made a vow. But will anyone take it seriously? Xie xuanchen thought the same way, but he saw Mu Mingtang's eyes, which were bright and firm, as if to say something more certain. Xie xuanchen suddenly panicked.

He thinks Mu Mingtang's words are ridiculous. How old is she, how many people she has met and how many places she has been to? How can he say that he doesn't understand? Xie xuanchen suddenly stepped back, as if to avoid something in general, turned and walked out.

"I mean what I say." Mu Mingtang said to Xie xuanchen, "you don't understand."

Xie xuanchen doesn't want to listen. He doesn't know what happened. He suddenly feels upset and restless. He thought it was Mu Mingtang's words that disturbed his mood, but he soon found out that it was not.

Mu Mingtang was also very angry. She took the orange and peeled it hard. As a result, it was stained with her own juice. If Xie xuanchen has a temper, doesn't she? She also wants to shake sleeve but go, firm hang him for a while.

When they talk, they stand between the West branches. Xie xuanchen goes in, and Mu Mingtang goes out on purpose. She took the oranges and broke them as she walked. She thought the new oranges tasted terrible. They were raw.

Mu Mingtang walked a few steps quickly. When he was about to go out, he murmured in his heart that Xie xuanchen should know that he was wrong? It's not safe for him to stay alone. If he has a good attitude, Mu Mingtang will step down.She thought so, looking back inadvertently. As a result, Mu Mingtang sees Xie xuanchen standing in the middle of the open space, covering his head with force, as if in pain.

The peeled hollowed out orange banged on the ground. Mu Mingtang picked up her skirt and ran back. At that moment, she wanted to give birth to a pair of wings: "Lord!"
