Chapter 60

Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang suddenly attacked, which can be said to have caught the Jin Palace by surprise.

When the servants of Jin Palace found out that it was king an and Princess an who arrived, they were scared to death. They rushed inside to inform the master. When Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen arrived, they just saw Jiang Mingwei rushing out.

King Jin's house already has a wife, so the relatives came to visit Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei obviously just took care of it. She put powder on her face in a hurry. Some traces were covered up, but her face was unnatural and stiff.

Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang came here without warning, and they didn't even have a prayer post. It's a bit impolite for them to come to the door suddenly. However, who let Xie xuanchen not be a guest, but a brother. What my elder brother did is unreasonable and reasonable.

Jiang Mingwei has a bad look, and I'm afraid that her mental state is not suitable for meeting people. According to the truth, in this case, the guests should know how to avoid. However, it's strange that Mu Mingtang is so considerate. The more inconvenient the host is, the more she wants to ask.

"Wang Ye and I were talking at first, but we didn't know what happened. We suddenly wanted to see our third brother and sister-in-law, so we came here. Don't you blame us for being rude? "

Jiang Mingwei showed a hostess like smile. Her intention was to make herself decent and generous. However, her expression was stiff and her face was dead white. She was somewhat rigid in her opinion: "where does sister-in-law say? We are a family and a neighbor. We come and go like our own family. How can we be abrupt?"

"That's good." Mu Mingtang nodded and said, "I'm relieved if my sister-in-law says that. Otherwise, I thought we didn't come at the right time. By the way, why don't you see the king of Jin? "

Jiang Mingwei was obviously more embarrassed after this sentence came out. She reluctantly laughed and said, "Wang Ye has something else to do. She is not in the room now. I'll send someone to call Wang Ye

Jiang Mingwei almost can't control the look on her face. Yesterday, Xie Xuanji didn't know what news he heard, but he suspected her. Xie Xuanji was very dissatisfied in the palace, but because of the emperor and others, he reluctantly endured it. When he finally came back from the palace, Xie Xuanji didn't even cover up and turned back to his yard.

Last night, the servant celebrated the new year. In front of the whole family, Jiang Mingwei met the servant alone and went back to the house to watch the night. Even today, after Xie Xuanji came back, he went to lianhan's yard directly. He didn't come to see her.

It happened that there were some problems with the purchase in the mansion. Xie Xuanji was not happy. In front of lianhan and many servants, he said, "since the princess has no energy to manage these things, don't worry about it. Let lianhan take care of the kitchen and purchase in the future."

Jiang Mingwei cried for half a night last night. This afternoon, because of this, she cried for a long time. Before Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang came in, Jiang Mingwei was crying with her dowry mother. The maid and mammy have been advising each other for a long time, which means to let Jiang Mingwei soften her body to coax Xie Xuanji. This evening, anyway, she should let Xie Xuanji spend the night in her room.

Today's new year's day, is related to the foundation of the imperial concubine, can't be robbed by lianhan.

Jiang Mingwei is fighting between heaven and man, but suddenly she hears that king an and Princess an are coming. Jiang Mingwei was so scared that she asked her servant girl to apply powder on her face. She covered the tears and came out quickly.

Dangerous meet Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen at the door.

As for why Xie Xuanji is not here This is not entirely predictable. Jiang Mingwei sent her servant girl to ask Xie Xuanji. Mu Mingtang answered and did not dare to ask Xie Xuanji again.

She has already felt that the ancestor around her is very unhappy. She mentions Xie Xuanji again. She can't guarantee that Xie xuanchen will turn over on the spot.

However, Mu Mingtang was a bit surprised. When she was in Mufu, her father stayed in her mother's house all the time. After she got married, she also lived with Xie xuanchen. In her impression, the place where Zheng's wife lived was also the man's living place by default.

How do you think Jiang Mingwei is not here? So that the guests came to the back yard, Jiang Mingwei had to send someone to ask Xie Xuanji. On the first day of the first month, Xie Xuanji didn't have Court Affairs. At the moment, there are no visitors to the Jin palace. Where is Xie Xuanji?

It's about other people's housework. Mu Mingtang is sorry to ask too much. And I don't know if it's Mu Mingtang's illusion. She's used to staying in her palace. She always thinks that Jiang Mingwei is a little crowded here, and it's too dark.

It's not as spacious and bright as Yulin hall.

After a polite talk here, Xie Xuanji was late and accompanied by a graceful young woman. Looking at the posture, Xie Xuanji also came in a hurry.

As soon as Xie Xuanji saw Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang in the room, he immediately made amends: "my younger brother is negligent. I don't know where my second brother is. Please, brother

"It's us that's all of a sudden. No wonder you." Xie xuanchen said, casually took a sentence, "you husband and wife two people live far away, how to come to need so long?"

Xie xuanchen just asked what Mu Mingtang wanted to ask. The smile on Jiang Mingwei's face is stiff, only Xie Xuanji is still good-natured, bows his head to make amends and says: "it's my brother's not, let my brother wait for a long time."

As the scene froze, the woman behind Xie Xuanji, who was wearing a bun and a long pink dress, saw this. Pingpingtingting came forward to salute the crowd: "lianhan, I've seen king an, Princess an."Xie xuanchen glanced at the woman and immediately guessed her identity. Xie xuanchen didn't want to talk to her at all, and her face showed this clearly. Xie xuanchen doesn't speak, and Jiang Mingwei pretends to be deaf and dumb on purpose. The woman salutes for a long time, but no one cares. Slowly, her body begins to vibrate slightly and looks very delicate.

After all, Mu Mingtang couldn't see it at first and asked, "who is this?"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Mingwei's eyes, and she obviously hated the woman in front of her. However, Xie Xuanji was already dissatisfied. Jiang Mingwei didn't dare to offend Xie Xuanji openly, so she could only reluctantly introduce: "this is the concubine in the mansion, named lianhan, who has made great contributions to serving the Lord. Today, assistant kitchen and purchasing are the great contributions of the royal family. "

Mu Mingtang whispered. As a matter of fact, I can tell from my dress that this is Xie Xuanji's concubine. However, the amount of information revealed in Jiang Mingwei's words is huge, at least much more wonderful than Mu Mingtang's own imagination.

It seems that this is Lian Han, a concubine who has a great reputation and dares to pretend to be ill and rob Jiang Mingwei on the 15th day. Mu Mingtang thought that even if lianhan was favored again, she would be a concubine after all. How could she compare with Jiang Mingwei, who gathered many auras at the same time, such as childhood sweetheart, famous couple, matchmaker, young white moonlight and so on. No matter how much concubine is favored or rampant, it can only reflect Jiang Mingwei's magnanimity and probity. In the end, it is just a handful of cannon fodder under Jiang Mingwei's feet.

But listen to Jiang Mingwei just now words, this concubine unexpectedly also robbed a part of housekeeper power?

Mu Mingtang said softly in her heart. She looked around and finally realized that she seemed to have strayed into the battlefield of a wife concubine struggle. This lovely concubine, who looks very clever, not only weakens Jiang Mingwei's favor, but also wants to compete with Jiang Mingwei for the right of housekeeper. It's really a big plan.

Lianhan is now in its heyday. Xie Xuanji dotes on her. On the first day of junior high school, she doesn't stay in the main courtyard. Instead, she comes to her courtyard and asks lianhan to help the housekeeper. Lianhan's momentum is like a rainbow, and even dare to fight with the princess in front of the outsider: "the princess's words are like a slave. The slave was not as noble as the princess, nor as rich in poetry as the princess, but he did his best to share the prince's worries. Naturally, the maid is not as smart as the princess, but as long as the prince speaks, there will be a sea of swords and mountains in front, so the maid should have a try. The slave did all this for the sake of the Lord. How dare he take credit? "

Tut, wonderful. If not for the wrong occasion, Mu Mingtang would like to clap. This Lian Han really does not live up to the appearance that she looks at very scheming, is not good stubble. Jiang Mingwei deliberately kills. Lianhan first pretends to be weak, and finally takes Xie Xuanji as a shield and retreats to advance. She attributes all her actions to Xie Xuanji's kindness. In this way, it can be said that she not only attacked Jiang Mingwei, but also brushed Xie Xuanji's favor. The most important thing is that lianhan herself is still an innocent and pitiful white lotus.

Well, they succeeded in arousing Mu Mingtang's interest. Mu Mingtang changed his posture and leaned on the armrest, looking at the scene with interest. She came from a small place and had little knowledge. She had never seen her wife and concubine fighting in the courtyard of gaomen.

Xie xuanchen knows that Mu Mingtang is interested. She obviously plans to sit for a long time. Xie xuanchen knew that he couldn't go back for a while and a half, so he brought a chestnut to Mu Mingtang and asked, "do you want to eat it?"

Mu Mingtang nodded quietly. Xie xuanchen fingers gently pinch, nuts will fall out completely. Xie xuanchen handed it to Mu Mingtang, who also picked it up at random.

In order not to disturb the two heroines, she deliberately put light action when biting.

However, no matter how light Mu Mingtang is, she and Xie xuanchen will never disappear. Jiang Mingwei quickly glances at Mu Mingtang from the corner of her eye. She is very reluctant to expose the unseemly side of her life in front of Mu Mingtang. Jiang Mingwei was in a hurry, and her tone became stiff: "in front of foreigners, how can you be a concubine? It's expedient for the Lord to let you take charge of purchasing for the time being. Now you have not done anything, and you are rampant in front of me? "

Jiang Mingwei's tone of voice is urgent and strong. It can be seen that she has been really angry for a long time. Lian Han's eyes turned red when he heard that. He immediately knelt down on the ground to wipe his tears, and his shoulders shrugged: "I'm guilty of offending the princess. Lord, I'm a lowly slave. I shouldn't invite some noble work. You'd better take back the Assistant Housekeeper! I don't deserve it. "

Lianhan began to cry, and finally choked. Jiang Mingwei wanted to send lianhan down as soon as possible. As a result, she cried in front of everyone, as if she had been wronged by heaven. Jiang Mingwei could not control her anger for a long time: "what are you crying for? You're just a concubine's room. The housekeeper is not your delusion. Even if you take it back, it's natural. Who are you crying for? "

Lianhan didn't speak, but she cried more bitterly. This is Xie Xuanji's woman after all. When she cried like this, Xie Xuanji couldn't see it. She said in a deep voice, "it's a new year's day. What's the point of crying? Help your aunt up

Lianhan cried, and Jiang Mingwei was obviously pleased. Then she scolded: "it's the crying of the Chinese New Year. People who don't know think what's wrong with you, bad luck."

Lian Han is supported by a servant girl and stands up. Although there is still anger in her eyes, she doesn't dare to cry any more. Jiang Mingwei was very happy to take advantage of the victory. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanji frowned at her and said, "don't say a few words. It's the new year, and she's so angry."Jiang Mingwei looked at Xie Xuanji incredulously. Grumpy? How can Xie Xuanji say that she is full of hostility?

"Wang Ye..."

Jiang Mingwei just made a sound, lianhan saw the opportunity to quickly stop her words, soft and weak said: "the princess is also kind-hearted, the prince don't want to be angry with the princess for the sake of the maid. But the princess has been in poor health recently. She was ill for a winter last year and just got better at the end of the year. She has been coughing again these days. The well-being of the princess is the well-being of the whole government. If we let the princess overwork and get sick, it's our fault. The princess should take a rest recently. It's not appropriate to worry about it. If not, let the maidservant continue to share some trivial affairs for the princess. "

Jiang Mingwei was angry when she heard that. She thought that she had just said that she wanted to give back the housekeeper's right. It's still interesting. This matter was solved. I didn't expect that lianhan was just acting, but actually he didn't give up. Jiang Mingwei is not angry, eyes with coercion to see Xie Xuanji: "Wang Ye, wives and concubines are different, please think twice."

Lianhan knelt down and said, "Lord."

Jiang Mingwei and lianhan confront each other. The end of the contradiction is Xie Xuanji. Xie Xuanji can't help hesitating. One is his wife, the other is his favorite concubine. Jiang Mingwei has Jiang family behind him. He can't bear to lose lianhan's face. It's really hard for him to choose

Xie Xuanji is in a dilemma. For a moment, he is angry with Jiang Mingwei and lianhan. Do these two women have to pick things up? Even if they are not gentle, they can't get along with each other?

Xie Xuanji is hesitating, when suddenly a chestnut falls to the ground, gululu bounces to lianhan's clothes. It was very quiet in the field. Suddenly a chestnut appeared, and everyone's eyes turned to the other side.

Mu Mingtang's fingers still had a thin shell, and he blinked innocently. She just lost her grip and accidentally fell to the ground. Mu Mingtang also didn't expect so coincidentally, just rolled to Lian Han side to go.

"It's not easy to break that. You have to try it yourself." Xie xuanchen casually as if in his own home, from the fruit plate jumped out of a thin skin, handed to Mu Mingtang, "this mouth has split, good pinch. Try this if you want to do it yourself. "

Mu Mingtang took the chestnut lightly, but he did not forget to smile to the people beside him: "I just pinch a chestnut, don't say hello, you continue."

As soon as Mu Mingtang pinched it, the shell split from the middle. But mu Mingtang's strength was not enough after all. When she peeled off the whole chestnut skin, the kernel had broken into several pieces. When she saw Xie xuanchen peel off a chestnut completely, she was very jealous: "why can you peel it so completely, and mine will be broken?"

"Don't just use brute force, use cleverness." Xie xuanchen said and picked up a chestnut, in front of her face completely separated, "you see, it's very simple."

Mu Mingtang was so sad that he said, "I want to eat yours."

Xie xuanchen naturally handed her hand and took away the nuts she peeled. Mu Mingtang looked at the palm intact chestnut benevolence tut tut surprised, she looked up, found that the house fight over there three people are looking at her.

Mu Mingtang realized that she and Xie xuanchen seemed to be too arrogant. She changed her posture and compared her hands with the protagonist: "I don't want to disturb you. Go on. Who will be given the right of stewardship in the end? "

Xie Xuanji's face turned from white to black and became obviously gloomy. What are Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang doing? Did you order a play?

Jiang Mingwei and Lian Han know their faces best. At a glance, they know that Xie Xuanji is really angry this time. They dare not speak at the moment, and dare not fight for the right of housekeeper.

Xie Xuanji said calmly, "it's extremely impolite to argue about these trifles in front of his second brother and sister-in-law. I neglect my brother and sister-in-law, and let them hear these dishonorable things. My younger brother is ashamed of himself. "

A disgrace? Mu Mingtang gave a meaningful smile and said, "it's normal that yin and yang are in harmony and husband and wife are normal. The third brother's house is prosperous, and the whole family lives under the same roof. Some bumps and bumps can't be more normal. How can it be called dishonorable? The third younger brother says so, but it seems that his younger brother and sister have done something the same. "

Jiang Mingwei's face is also very ugly. When she hears Mu Mingtang's words, she doesn't know whether to thank or refute. Mu Mingtang said that she had bad intentions, but she was still talking to herself. If you want to say that she was kind But these words from Mu Mingtang's mouth, why does it sound so uncomfortable?

Lian Han's eyes dripped around and said timidly, "what Princess an said is that I want to thank Princess an."

Mu Mingtang with a smile, eyes in lianhan body more stay for a while, smile but not language. Lian Han was so flustered by Mu Mingtang's eyes that she asked, "what does Princess an mean when she looks at slaves like this?"

Mu Mingtang ignored her completely, but looked at Xie Xuanji: "third brother, although I'm not your sister-in-law, I'm the princess who lives in the body. When did I end up talking to a nameless concubine? "

Lianhan's face changed greatly. Jiang Mingwei was relieved and embarrassed. She stood up and said, "excuse me, sister-in-law. This concubine is mean and arrogant. I don't know her manners. Please don't worry about herEven Xie Xuanji stood up to apologize. Mu Mingtang clapped the chestnut residue on his hand, and the maid immediately handed the wet handkerchief to Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang wiped his fingers carefully, as if the others were not important at all. His fingers were the most important thing.

Mu Mingtang said slowly, "it's your family business. Your brother and I are outsiders. How the king of Jin resettled his wife and concubine really has nothing to do with us. Naturally, I don't care about a concubine, but I really don't want to be called around by a concubine. "

Lian Han immediately kneels down to plead guilty, the complexion is amazing, this time she is really shivering. Xie Xuanji looks down at Lian Han, represses his emotions, and says nothing. He still apologizes to Mu Mingtang: "it's my brother's bad discipline that makes my concubine offend my sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law, though assured, will never happen again in the future. "

Mu Mingtang doesn't care at all. Anyway, she doesn't often come to King Jin's residence. She doesn't care what Xie Xuanji does with his Yingyan. What does it have to do with her? Mu Mingtang said that he had wiped his hands, watched the play, and ate the chestnuts. Satisfied, Mu Mingtang stood up and planned to go back to his house: "this is your housework. The king of Jin is at will. It's getting late. It's time for us to go back. The king of Jin and the princess of Jin stay

Xie xuanchen thought that he could leave. He got up immediately and could hardly wait to leave.

Mu Mingtang said to stay, but Xie Xuanji didn't dare not really give it away. He and Jiang Mingwei take them to the gate of the second gate. On the way, Xie Xuanji looks at Mu Mingtang's red dress and bright hair, and realizes that his wife is his wife and his concubine is his concubine, which is insurmountable.

Lianhan is a concubine after all, even if she is more careful. She just serves him in private. She is too timid on a serious occasion. To just like that occasion, lianhan only reply, even talk with Mu Mingtang is offensive.

This kind of identity, no matter how lianhan's actual ability is, the reputation of managing Housekeeper will only make people laugh. Even if it's just help.

Xie Xuanji gives up the idea of asking lianhan to assist in the internal affairs. He just wanted to use lianhan to beat Jiang Mingwei, but lianhan's identity is too low, and his behavior is ostentatious. I'm afraid it's not a good choice. There are many ways to wake up Jiang Mingwei, but if someone ridicules the Jin palace, it will not be worth the loss.

After Xie Xuanji made up his mind, before Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang went out, he said, "today, my concubine Ji is so rude and offensive. My younger brother apologizes to my elder brother and sister-in-law. After all, there are differences between wives and concubines. The second elder brother is the model. How can my younger brothers make the mistake of spoiling concubines and destroying wives? It's the princess's duty to manage the internal affairs. It's a joke to let Ji Qie help. It's not true. "

Jiang Mingwei showed an unexpected look when she heard that. She didn't expect that she had been sick for such a long time, and even solved it like this. She said so much just now, Xie Xuanji only thought she was angry, but mu Mingtang just said two words, Xie Xuanji changed his mind?

Jiang Mingwei looks at Xie Xuanji incredulously. Mu Mingtang doesn't speak, but Xie xuanchen laughs. The sarcasm in her voice is clear: "forget it, I didn't show you. It's your business how you get married and take concubines. No one wants to take care of it, but it's wrong to let your woman offend Mingtang. This new year, it's not appropriate to make a big fight. I didn't get angry with you. But if there's another time, I don't care if you can get off the stage on any occasion. If you want to keep your face in front of women, take care of them and don't mess with my people again. "

Xie Xuanji was said to have no skin and no face, but he didn't dare to refute at all. He could only bow his head and answer respectfully: "what my second brother taught me is that I remember it."

The atmosphere was very serious. Both Mu Mingtang and Jiang Mingwei stood aside and did not interrupt. After Xie xuanchen finished training Xie Xuanji, when he looked back at Mu Mingtang, he was still relaxed and casual: "let's go home."

Mu Mingtang gives a "um" and finally glances at Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei. He turns and chases Xie xuanchen away.

This play is really a surprise. Mu Mingtang's boredom of being disturbed by the Jiang family is swept away, and he is very comfortable.

In the evening, after bathing, Mu Mingtang had nothing to do because she had to wait for her hair to dry naturally. She couldn't help thinking of what she saw in the afternoon. Mu Mingtang sincerely sighed: "if there is a crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon next door, it's really wonderful."

Xie xuanchen had just taken a bath and his hair was half dry. When he heard her, he glanced at her in a funny way: "now I'm finally enjoying myself?"

"Well." Mu Mingtang nodded, "I'm glad to see that they're not doing well."

Mu Mingtang said that he did not feel right, men live into Xie Xuanji so, it seems that from which point of view, are not related to the bad life.

Young white moonlight became his wife. His concubine was charming and weak, and his maidservant was in arms. Although there were more fights among women, it was all because of him. Xie Xuanji's life may be the dream of many men.

And Jiang Mingwei may not be unwilling. Mu Mingtang sighs here that Xie Xuanji's backyard is in a terrible mess. Maybe Jiang Mingwei is very proud that she is his wife and has the right to take charge of her disobedient concubines.

The honey of a and the arsenic of B are not the parties. It's hard to be sarcastic. Mu Mingtang carefully revised the wording, saying: "I can't eat grapes. I should take back the sour grapes. Jiang Mingwei is a real princess. She has achieved her wish and has boundless scenery. Xie Xuanji is also a prince. His wife is expensive and his concubine is beautiful. How can she live a bad life? I'm speculating here. Maybe other people enjoy it very much. "Xie xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang one eye, can't help but remind a way: "you are also a princess."

"I know, I know, that's not what I'm talking about." Mu Mingtang approached and asked Xie xuanchen in a low voice, "I have a question that I am particularly curious about. If it were you today, what would you do with your wife and concubine? "

Come again, Xie xuanchen helplessly swept Mu Mingtang one eye, say: "you this sentence does not hold water, I have no concubine."

"I didn't let you want to have a concubine, so I asked how you would deal with today's affairs if you stood in Xie Xuanji's position." After Mu Mingtang finished, he glared at Xie xuanchen with disgust, "is this your truth? You want a concubine? "

Xie xuanchen raised his eyebrows and felt that he was absolutely unjust: "who thought? I didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, and you're doing it backwards. "

Mu Mingtang thought about it, but Xie xuanchen didn't say anything. Now that she started it, the topic can be turned over. Mu Mingtang quickly skips this matter, said: "do not entangle irrelevant things, I am particularly curious, men on these similar things in the end is how to think."

Xie xuanchen didn't even think about it, and said, "what's the matter with that woman..."

"Lian Han." Mu Mingtang reminds him in a low voice. Xie xuanchen remembers his name, and then says: "lianhan has a bad mind. He has repeatedly discredited his mother, and wants to get involved in her housekeeper's power on the ground of sharing worries. What else does this person who harms the house do?"

Mu Mingtang looked at him in surprise: "originally, you can see it?"

Xie xuanchen let out a sound. After that, he felt that this sentence was not quite right: "what do you mean that you can see it? Isn't such a clumsy trick obvious? "

Mu Mingtang seemed to refresh his cognition and sighed: "I always thought that only women can see that women can pretend to cry and be pathetic. It turns out that men can, too. Since you can see it at a glance, why can't Xie Xuanji? Midway good period of time, Xie Xuanji has been lianhan talked about it. Is he the kind of person who is smart outside and a mess in his own home? "

Xie xuanchen laughed a, light voice way: "how possible."

"Well?"

"It's not that men don't fight with each other. The fight between the true and the false in the court is much more fierce than those in the back house. If he can't see through the human relationship in the back house, how can he get in and out of the court? "

"But Xie Xuanji turned to lianhan." Mu Mingtang said, "he has always felt that lianhan is very weak and innocent."

"Because that's his woman." Xie xuanchen said carelessly, "he doesn't understand, but his feelings will deceive his judgment. If it's me, I'm partial to my own women. When you scold the Chiang family, I think what you say is reasonable, very reasonable and pitiable. "
