Chapter 58

There are still so many people around, Xie xuanchen's tone of asking to sleep with him is right and strong. Mu Mingtang quickly glanced at both sides and said, "I have something else to do. Go to sleep by yourself."

"If you don't accompany me, I won't sleep. Anyway, I have a headache and can't sleep. "

God, Mu Mingtang is speechless to this man. She wanted to pull off this old coquettish brown candy, but her shoulder was held by him. She couldn't pull it, and she couldn't hide it. She just refused: "no, I just got up."

"What's the matter when I get up? I can't sleep any more when I get up?"

The servant girls drooped their eyes and bowed their heads to smile. Mu Mingtang coughed and said solemnly to them, "I don't need you here. Let's go and set the meal."

"Yes."

After waiting for the servant girls to step down, Mu Mingtang immediately moved his shoulder and glared at Xie xuanchen angrily: "sit down quickly. What's the matter with you? Let the servants see, where is the head of the family? "

"Whatever they think, I don't need to be the head of the family anyway."

"But I need it." Mu Mingtang said, "get up quickly, you have affected my dignified image."

Xie xuanchen doesn't want to raise his head. Mu Mingtang finds that his eyes are red.

Mu Mingtang was a little soft hearted immediately, and his tone fell off again and again. Finally, he became very gentle: "it's not good to sleep on an empty stomach. I'll go to dinner with you first?"

Xie xuanchen this just Committee wrongly should. Although Mu Mingtang has just had breakfast, he can't help but use some after sitting at the table with Xie xuanchen. It's almost noon now. After using this meal, lunch will be saved.

After they had dinner, they handed over the table to the servants and went to the bedroom. As soon as Xie xuanchen was next to the bed, he naturally hugged Mu Mingtang and put his chin on her shoulder.

He hugged so easily that Mu Mingtang suspected that he was a pillow. Xie xuanchen leaned on her shoulder and closed her eyes. After a while, Mu Mingtang yawned quietly.

Mu Mingtang also feels embarrassed. Why is she sleepy first?

Xie xuanchen closed his eyes and laughed. He is still leaning on Mu Mingtang's shoulder. When he smiles, his chest vibrates slightly. Mu Mingtang can clearly feel the slight ups and downs behind him.

Mu Mingtang was embarrassed and threatened fiercely: "what are you laughing at?"

Xie xuanchen's voice is lazy and says: "since you are sleepy, sleep a little longer. Anyway, there's nothing to do today. Why don't you sleep with me for a while? "

"But there are still a lot of gift cards out there."

Xie xuanchen immediately opened his eyes and stood up unconvinced: "are they important or am I?"

"You're important, you're important." Mu Mingtang can't help it. She decides to perfunctorily thank xuanchen for a while, and then she gets up when he falls asleep. Mu Mingtang had a good plan. Unexpectedly, after sleeping on the bed, he listened to the familiar sound of breathing on his pillow and went to sleep without any obstacles.

The two of them slept until the afternoon. The maid didn't dare to disturb, but there was a guest in the palace. They didn't know how to deal with it.

The servant girl hesitated at the door of the bedroom hall. She didn't know whether to go in or not. They haven't come up with an idea yet. Xie xuanchen wakes up by himself.

The servant girls across the screen saw a figure sitting up and knelt down in a hurry: "Lord."

Xie xuanchen heard a voice at the door in his sleep and soon woke up. He stood up and half felt resistance. Looking back, he saw Mu Mingtang pressing his sleeve and sleeping soundly.

Xie xuanchen immediately stop action, Mu Mingtang pressure a large sleeve, if pull out, it is easy to wake her. Xie xuanchen carefully tried, and finally did not dare to take risks. Instead, he took off his coat and covered her.

He changed his long black dress and strode out. The servant girls knew what he meant and didn't dare to talk at the door of the bedroom. They followed Xie xuanchen to the tip room and then stopped.

Xie xuanchen sat on the sandalwood armchair and asked, "what's the matter?"

"Report back to the Lord, Vice Minister of privy affairs, Mr. Yang Hongzhu, and his family to pay New Year's greetings to the Lord."

"Is that him?" When Xie xuanchen heard the name, he was not only expected, but also slightly surprised.

He thought that I wish Yang Hong would come later. I didn't expect to come on the first day of junior high school.

Xie xuanchen said, "please let them in. Let them go to Qingxin hall, and don't disturb the princess in the back. "

"Yes."

Mu Mingtang had a good sleep and suddenly woke up. When she got up, she was still confused. With her movements, a piece of clothes slipped down her shoulder. Mu Mingtang took it up and saw that it was Xie xuanchen's.

The clothes are there, but the people are gone. Where did he go?

Mu Mingtang quickly put on his shoes. The maid outside heard the sound and went into the hall.

"Princess, you are awake."

"Where is the Lord?"

"The Privy Council wishes you a happy new year with your family. You and I went to Qingxin hall."

After hearing the reaction for a long time, Mu Mingtang realized what had happened: "I wish my family a happy new year? When did it happen? "

"Just now, about a quarter of an hour ago."Having been here for so long, Mu Mingtang was embarrassed and Wulong. He couldn't help complaining: "if there are guests, why don't they call me?"

"The servant girl Nuo Nuo should say:" the prince does not let the slave wait to disturb the imperial concubine lunch break

It's Xie xuanchen again. Mu Mingtang grits his teeth: "he does this kind of thing again. When a visitor comes to pay a new year's call, he knows, so he sneaks away? "

The servant girls looked at each other and did not dare to answer. Mu Mingtang didn't say this to her servant girl. She asked someone to arrange her hair, change her clothes and go to Qingxin hall.

Mu Mingtang went to Qingxin hall. The maid at the door saw her and said hello: "princess."

The voice was heard inside, and the voice stopped immediately. Xie xuanchen left Zhu's family behind and went to the door: "I don't want them to wake you up. How did you wake up so soon?"

Mrs. Zhu and others know that Mu Mingtang is coming. They all stand up and look at the door. Zhu's family is sitting in another room, with a floor cover across from the door. After Mu Mingtang enters the door, he whispers to Xie xuanchen with his teeth gnashing, through Zhu's family, that he can't hear him: "you get up secretly again. You know someone is coming, and you don't tell me?"

Xie xuanchen refused and said, "what is a secret? You sleep just right, and I can wake you up for a little bit? "

Zhu Yanghong and his wife have already looked at them. If Mu Mingtang can't say more, he can only stare at Xie xuanchen and plan to go back and settle accounts with him.

When Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen come near, I wish my family members see Mu Mingtang come in and say hello again: "I've met the princess, and she's happy in the new year."

Zhu Yuqing and her sisters also went forward to salute: "little girl, please greet the princess."

When Mu Mingtang saw that there were so many young people, he became more and more embarrassed. She said with a smile: "I wish you and your wife don't have to be polite. Please get up. These are my husband's gold. Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog and son, and your son's gold is the dragon and Phoenix among the people. "

After my wife's modesty, I wish you a second seat. Mu Mingtang always had to explain why he was late. He endured the embarrassment and said, "I was just taking a nap. I didn't know that several people were visiting, so I was late. It's really impolite. "

Mu Mingtang said that he felt desperate, since Zhu's home new year, it is impossible to choose an inconvenient time. She is still sleeping at this time, which is easy to be misunderstood.

You may not believe it. In fact, she is a very hardworking person. She just sleeps with Xie xuanchen. As a result, the man woke up in time and got up secretly, which made her late.

Thinking of this, Mu Mingtang stares at Xie xuanchen again.

Everyone in Zhu's family noticed Mu Mingtang's eyes. For a moment, no one dared to speak. Xie xuanchen spoke very calmly and said, "well, I went to sleep for a while after I came back from Zhaohe and took her with me. As a result, I didn't call her when I came out just now. She was having a tantrum with me."

I wish Yang Hong did not expect that there was such a tortuous inside story. He could not help sighing that young people were so angry that they were so artificial at noon. There was also an unmarried daughter on the scene. I wish Yang Hong was embarrassed to ask again and said, "it's our misfortune to disturb the prince and princess."

Mu Mingtang quickly opened the topic and asked, "I'm sorry to interrupt you just now. What did Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wang just say? "

"Speaking of the Privy Council." Xie xuanchen turned back and explained to Mu Mingtang, "I wish Yang Hong would return to Beijing this time and be transferred to the Privy Council."

It turned out to be the Privy Deputy! Today, the three powers are separated, the three secretaries are in charge of finance, the Secretary of state is in charge of government affairs, and the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs. However, although the Privy Council is in charge of military power, all the officials in it are literati. I wish Yang Hong could be promoted to Deputy privy envoy, which is a very rare exception.

Mu Mingtang immediately said: "Congratulations, I wish you a promotion."

Zhu Yanghong was modest again and again, and Xie xuanchen told Zhu Yanghong something about the Privy Council, but they were all superficial and didn't talk much about it.

is not the place to talk now. Inside and outside is the emperor's eye liner. It's deep, and it's not good for Yang Hong to thank Xie Xuan Chen.

Slowly, the topic still turns to the direction of family, this is the safest topic. Mu Mingtang remembers Zhu Yuqing. This time, Mrs. Zhu also brought three other common women, some of whom are strange. Mrs. Zhu looked back and motioned to her daughter, saying, "Yuqing, don't you come forward to the princess?"

Zhu Yuqing, in the envious eyes of her sisters, comes forward alone and salutes Mu Mingtang. After Mu Mingtang asked for a few words, the remaining three common women joined in a row, and asked Mu Mingtang to say hello.

Mu Mingtang noticed that when these girls saluted, although Wanfu's movements were unified, there were many small movements. Some of the clothes are obviously thoughtful, some deliberately show their own rules, some look naive All in all, it's very lively.

And they just want Mu Mingtang to see them more. If this can cause Mu Mingtang's attention, it will catch a shortcut to the sky.

Mu Mingtang's heart tut a, on the surface what all don't express, smile to ask girls to get up, one person sent a meeting gift. I wish the family's legitimate women how to compare, she does not care, Mu Mingtang here must be treated equally. Several girls get the purse looks the same, inside the common female is an example, and the legitimate daughter Zhu Yuqing is more expensive.The young girls were all jubilant when they were given a present. Among the girls, Mu Mingtang obviously treats Zhu Yuqing differently, which makes his wife very happy.

Mu Mingtang looks at the hidden undercurrent of Zhu's sisters, and his heart is filled with emotion. In fact, she was not much younger than these girls, but she was married. Even these sisters seemed to be far away from her. With the self-consciousness of a married woman, Mu Mingtang asked about the marriage of these girls: "I wish each of the little ladies has her own merits. It makes people like it. I wonder if some of the ladies are engaged? "

Hearing Mu Mingtang's words, the girls were obviously stunned, and Mrs. Zhu unconsciously became serious: "never. Previously, we lived with the general in Yazhou. At that time, they were still young. I wanted to keep them for a few more years, but I was not willing to say goodbye to them. Now that I'm in the capital, I can't keep these girls any longer. I'm thinking about it. I've just arrived in the capital and I don't know many families. I'm not as knowledgeable as the princess. If the princess doesn't dislike trouble, I want to ask the princess to help me. If there is a right-age husband in any family, please pay more attention to them. "

Mu Mingtang naturally responded with a smile. After hearing Mu Mingtang's promise, all the young ladies of the Zhu family, regardless of their families, showed an expression of expectation and shyness.

Mu Mingtang, a married woman, looks at these shy little girls. She really regrets whether she has been staying with Xie xuanchen for a long time and is becoming more and more backward. Maybe, she'll have to walk around more with young people.

Mu Mingtang thought like this and said: "I've been lazy since I got married. I don't know what you young girls like any more. It's better to wait for the garden fair in Beijing to be set up after the Spring Festival. I'll take you to the garden fair. At that time, there will be many officials and the daughters of Gongqing. You'll just meet some handkerchiefs. Maybe at some time, the marriage will come. "

Nowadays, with the rise of Neo Confucianism, women's rules are increasingly strict. Unmarried women must be accompanied by their brothers when they go out. Although these garden parties and flower appreciation parties were nominally held for women, all the ladies brought their brothers and cousins, and finally, they evolved into great occasions for young people to see each other.

After Mu Mingtang spoke, several girls of the Zhu family all showed their exultation. Although Mu Mingtang said that he seldom went out to socialize, and king an's position in the capital seems to be very delicate, the thin camel is bigger than ma. Mu Mingtang's position is here, and the posts that can be sent to her are not bad.

In the past, Mu Mingtang just pushed all of them out. There were plenty of invitation cards in the porter for her to choose from as long as she wanted.

The blind date resources that Mu Mingtang has access to are much higher than those of Zhu family, who is a military general and a newcomer. This is undoubtedly very good news, which can be said to be the biggest harvest of this new year's call. Although Mrs. Zhu wanted to let Mu Mingtang introduce her daughter to her before she went out, she didn't expect that Mu Mingtang was such a big face when she opened her mouth.

As a mother, Mrs. Zhu is more relieved than being introduced to see her son-in-law in person.

Zhu Yuqing is a legitimate daughter. She has a shallow mind and shows her surprise directly. With a cough from her wife, Zhu Yuqing narrows her face. Mrs. Zhu glared at Zhu Yuqing bitterly. Then she said to Mu Mingtang with a smile: "thank you, princess. I'm very grateful to the princess for her obstinacy. "

Mu Mingtang also smile politely: "I wish Mrs. too polite."

Xie xuanchen, Zhu Yanghong and a couple of husbands sat with the women as they spoke. Seeing the happy and happy voices of the women, the men could not get in, but they also looked lively.

In particular, I wish Yang Hong knew that Mu Mingtang's move was to choose a son-in-law for his daughters. This is a great favor. I wish Yang Hong would give Mu Mingtang a very serious thank you: "at the end, I would like to thank Princess an."

"I wish you a quick rise. I should thank you for your help in Xiangyang."

I wish Yang Hong said: "the end will not dare to take credit. The thief who made trouble in Xiangyang was killed by the Lord. It was also the Lord's order to inform the general to go to the rescue. The peace of Xiangyang is probably due to the Lord. At the end of the day, he just picked up the leak of the Lord. "

At this time, Xie xuanchen said: "it's your credit, it's yours. There's no need to refuse. What's more, even if I'm meritorious, I'll accept the present. It's meaningless to hold on to it. "

Thank you? I wish Yang Hong an instant understanding, but he was really speechless. He can't help but sigh, young people now.

In front of so many people, can you be more restrained.
