Chapter 73

Xiangji temple is close to mountains and rivers, with pagodas and halls overlapping, covering a vast area. There are only a few places that women can go, so Buddhist temples not only offer incense, but also have the function of playing.

In March, the peach blossoms in Xiangji temple were in full bloom. After Mu Mingtang, Mrs. Zhu and several young ladies of Zhu's family asked for their autographs, they naturally went to the backyard to see the flowers. Xie xuanchen and Zhu Yanghong escorted the women to go out. The women were watching the flowers in front of them. They walked behind and followed slowly.

Although both Yang Hong and Xie xuanchen can't appreciate the flowers, they are unconsciously relaxed in such an environment. I wish Yang Hong could talk to Xie xuanchen casually and ask, "long time no see. How is Wang Ye recently?"

Xie xuanchen doesn't study what Zhuyang Hong is asking. Anyway, it's a normal thing to meet and say hello. Xie xuanchen looked in front of him and said casually, "fair."

Fair. I wish Yang Hong pondered the meaning of these two words for a while. He asked vaguely and Xie xuanchen answered vaguely. The connotation of this can only be understood by two people.

Wish Yang Hong in the heart ponder, not from quietly looking to Xie xuanchen, want to see some clues from Xie xuanchen's manner. He sees like this, just discover Xie xuanchen's vision all the time falls in front.

I wish Yang Hongshun looked over and saw his daughter following Princess an, pointing to the flowers on the side of the road from time to time. I wish Yang Hong have self-knowledge, at least know that Xie xuanchen will not see his daughter, that is to see the princess.

I wish Yang Hong can't help thinking of Xie xuanchen's appearance. At that time, Xie xuanchen was young and frivolous. His eyes were full of vigorous ambition. How could he enjoy the flowers and the moon. But now, Xie xuanchen walks slowly under the flower tree, his eyes are still heroic, but his eyes have a casual gentleness. It seems that he once hid the aggressive sword in the scabbard, and no longer let people look at it, but his lethality is more serious than ever.

The contrast between the past and the present makes Zhu Yang Hong feel complicated. At the same time, the atmosphere is relaxed. I wish Yang Hong talked with Xie xuanchen about his family habits with a smile: "Wang Ye has become famous early. This age is really young for building achievements, but it's not too young to put it at home. Since Wang Ye has already got married and has a rare and stable life in the past two years, why don't you consider having children? "

Xie xuanchen originally only divided a small part of his attention to Zhu Yanghong. When he heard Zhu Yanghong's words, he was stunned for a while, and then he said, "do you mean children?"

I wish Yang Hong thought Xie xuanchen was still in a young state of mind, or the young couple wanted to have more than two years, so he deliberately didn't want to have children during this period. I wish Yang Hong would give up his political stance and just use the tone of a passer-by to persuade him: "at the end of the day, I will know that Wang Ye is still young and doesn't want to be bound by children, but the life and death of those who join the army are changeable. When Wang Ye is older, I will know how expensive this kind of ordinary day is. It's time to plan for the children, while it's hard to be safe now. "

Xie xuanchen has been carrying an expression, trying to show a calm, used to see the wind and rain. But in his heart, there was a storm.

Is he being urged to have a baby?

Heaven and earth can learn from each other. Up to now, he has very good rules. No matter day or night, he doesn't cross the distance at all. Where does he go to get a child?

However, this kind of thing is not something to be proud of. Anyway, Xie xuanchen is embarrassed to say to his colleagues who used to work together that although I've been married for nearly a year, I haven't done anything like husband and wife, or even physical contact outside hugs.

Xie xuanchen felt very uncomfortable, so he tried to maintain the appearance of a hundred battles in front of outsiders, and said: "what's urgent? She and I are young, and now we are not in a hurry to have children."

As soon as Yang Hong heard this, he understood it and said, "the prince and the princess are young. It's inevitable to relax for two more years. But the end will feel, take advantage of this period of time leisure, Wang Ye stay at home, it is time to hurry to have children. Otherwise, in case the war gets busy, the prince will have to take charge of the battle and miss the growth of his children. In retrospect, it will be a pity after all. "

When Xie xuanchen heard this, he was very familiar with the tone. When he was still fighting in the army, he chatted with people in his spare time. Many people had such an exclamation. I didn't expect to wish Yang Hongtang the same regret.

Xie xuanchen asked, "how old is your eldest son?"

"Eighteen this year, only a little smaller than Wang Ye." I wish Yang Hong sighed, "when he and his second son were born, I was just like Wang Ye. I was thinking of fighting and recovering the lost land. I always felt that family affairs were trivial and minor. It didn't matter to slow down. But the year before last, my second son died in the battlefield. When I delivered his spirit, I realized that it was several years ago that I had chatted with him about my family. From small to large, I spent too little time with them. "

Xie xuanchen sighed silently. The expression of feelings between men is not as abundant as that between women. Xie xuanchen just patted Yang Hong on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Zhu shook his head slowly and said, "so last year, I moved my mind to retire and withdrew from the front line. I have been absent from the growth of several sons. At least I will not be absent from the growth of my daughters. They are going to get married soon. If we miss this time, when they arrive at their husband's house, we can only see each other once or twice a year, which will be more like strangers. Stay at home as much as possible while they are still in the living room. Wang Ye, don't think I'm overstepping. It's just because I regret all my life that I can't help talking to you more. ""I understand." Xie xuanchen said, "my father didn't have time to take care of me when he was young, so until the end, my relationship with him was very tense. After my mother died, I couldn't even meet him well. "

I wish Yang Hong said he was sorry, but Xie xuanchen was not? Although Xie Yi is strict with him, he is his father after all. After Mrs. Yin left, Xie Yi was his last blood relative in the world.

But Xie Yi also died abruptly. He didn't even see Xie Yi's last face.

These things can be said to be a muddle headed account. Xie Yi is not a good father for supporting the outer room, and Xie xuanchen has not done very well as a son. Xie xuanchen at least hoped that his son would not repeat the mistakes of their father and son in the future.

I wish Yang Hong and Xie xuanchen began to guard against each other and test each other. Now talking about family affairs, they suddenly opened their conversation. I wish Yang Hong said, "I'd like to thank the princess for her help in the marriage. If not for the princess, how difficult it would be for them to get married. We wish our family a great debt for the princess. I'll keep it in mind. Thank you very much. "

Xie xuanchen said: "she always stays in the house and is often bored. It's rare to get along with her. In the future, I'd like to trouble your wife to accompany her more. Only when she is invited can she go out safely. "

Although Xie xuanchen was unconvinced, Mu Mingtang said he was bored, but at least he knew himself well. He always stayed in the palace, which was really boring. It's really rare to have someone who can speculate on a topic and trust to accompany Mu Mingtang outside.

After they entrusted each other, their relationship became more harmonious than ever before. I wish Yang Hong would take advantage of the momentum to talk about the trivia of the Privy Council. Although Zhu Yanghong's transfer back to the capital is a great promotion in the eyes of the public, Zhu Yanghong's experience in the Privy Council during this period is not very pleasant.

He is a military general, and the Privy Council and even the officials of the whole capital are basically civil servants. Generals and civil servants are naturally estranged. I wish Yang Hong could not talk with those people.

In this way, his position is very embarrassing. The military general thinks that he is promoted and complacent, and he goes in and out with the civil servants. It is inevitable that he will have a bad heart. However, the civil servants don't think that he is a reckless man. They don't let him handle anything important, and they are still guarding against him. Even the Emperor just put him on the surface as a decoration. In fact, he was not entrusted with an important task.

Such a situation, and I wish Yang Hong imagine the difference. When Zhu Yang Hong was in Yazhou, he was the commander in chief of a famous town. His subordinates showed great respect to him, and the people also showed great respect for him. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the capital of the king, his treatment was completely changed.

Just because Zhu Yang Hong is a military officer, he was born inferior. When a civil servant talks to him, he should feel honored. Even if he is cold faced, he should be. I wish Yang Hong has fully realized that in this environment, he will never get ahead.

This kind of feeling is not good. I wish Yang Hong would be embarrassed. Half of his life has passed and his fame is vain. However, his daughter's marriage is also affected, which makes it very difficult for him to accept.

Therefore, it is not polite for Zhu Yang Hong to say that he is grateful to Mu Mingtang. Without Mu Mingtang's help, Zhu's family would not have been able to enter the circle of the capital at the beginning, and no one would have looked at his daughter. With Mu Mingtang's face now, Mrs. Zhu's social situation has greatly improved. However, even so, several sisters of Zhu Yuqing are still being choosed and commented by the civil servants' wives.

I wish Yang Hong's life is almost over. Fame and fortune are not so important to him. However, Zhu Yang Hong is desperate to find that if this trend is allowed to spread, his children and grandchildren will be discriminated against just like him, or even far inferior to him.

It's about children. I wish Yang Hong could not sit still. However, when the emperor and the courtiers are in power, the atmosphere is different. The emperor made it clear that he was afraid of the generals and wanted to compromise for safety. None of the princes in the palace had anything to do with the army.

Thinking about it, the way out for them, the way out for their descendants, and even the way out for the whole country, still falls on Xie xuanchen, king of Qiyang.

I wish Yang Hong from the beginning of the new year, think again and again for a long time, finally determined to more and Xie xuanchen close. However, all this has a premise, that is, Xie xuanchen's health, at least not at any time may be breathless. It would be better to have a son.

Thinking of this, I wish Yang Hong sincerely advised Xie xuanchen from both the political and the man's standpoint: "Lord, everything should be done sooner rather than later. You're old now. It's time to have children. "

If someone else, I wish Yang Hong must have asked face to face. It's been a year since he got married, and the hit rate is too low. If it's a literati, it's very common to have no children a year, but it's in the generals It's really low.

Xie xuanchen distinguishes his voice from Zhu Yanghong's tone, and his face becomes ugly gradually.

Today, Mu Mingtang climbed the mountain and watched the peach blossom in the Buddhist temple for a long time. He was in a good mood even after returning to the palace.

But Xie xuanchen doesn't seem to be like this.

From the second half of the temple, he became very silent, always thinking about something. Now that they are all home, he doesn't look very excited.

Mu Mingtang plans to be a Jieyu flower. He comes close to Xie xuanchen and asks, "what's the matter with you? How do you look depressed? "Xie xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang: "what's the description? Am I the kind of person who hurts spring and sorrows autumn and is disgusting?"

Mu Mingtang wants to talk but stops. He is disgusted, but Xie xuanchen is really sad.

Mu Mingtang has found out for a long time that although Mu Mingtang is a woman and Xie xuanchen is a man with strong force, Xie xuanchen is the one with more thoughts. On the contrary, Mu Mingtang has a big heart.

Xie xuanchen is really easy to think. For example, now, Mu Mingtang doesn't know where he touched the master's delicate and fragile glass heart, making him depressed all the way.

Mu Mingtang could not guess Xie xuanchen's mind, so he asked directly: "you were in a bad mood when you were in the Buddhist temple. Why? What did Yang Hong say to you? "

Xie xuanchen eyebrow tip a pick, ask: "do you really want to listen?"

"Of course."

"Good." Xie xuanchen nodded, looked down at her, and suddenly laughed, "he asked when we would have children, so that he could send you a heavy gift to return the favor you had for Zhu's daughter."

Mu Mingtang was stunned. He was stunned.

Xie xuanchen smiles in his eyes and looks at her in his spare time. Mu Mingtang stayed for a while, found that Xie xuanchen looked at her smile, slowly responded: "you make fun of me again?"

"Where did it come from?"

"You are lying to me." Mu Mingtang didn't know whether he was relieved or not. At least, he didn't feel so embarrassed. "You are a man who never changes after repeated education. Is it true or not?"

Mu Mingtang's eyes were round, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry. Xie xuanchen said slowly, "of course it's fake."

As soon as Mu Mingtang relaxed, he heard Xie xuanchen continue to say, "he didn't plan to give the child a red envelope. I said it myself."

Mu Mingtang's face was stunned. She was stunned. She was so angry that she went to beat Xie xuanchen: "are you finished?"

Xie xuanchen leaned back slightly and held Mu Mingtang's hand firmly: "it's true. I really didn't cheat you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhu Yang Hong. "

Mu Mingtang's face became more and more red, and even his hands and feet became uncomfortable. Such an awkward topic, Mu Mingtang has no idea why Xie xuanchen can be so calm, and even can look into her eyes without hesitation.

Mu Mingtang also wanted to pretend to be calm, but her voice betrayed her: "then you What do you say? "

"I can only tell the truth." Xie xuanchen looked at Xiang Mu Mingtang with a smile and said, "after all, I can't have children by myself. It depends on you."

As expected, Xie xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang's red neck. He knew that he was going to stay in the empty boudoir alone this evening if he kept on talking, so he turned himself in very cleverly: "I'm kidding you. I didn't tell him anything. I know what you're going to scold. Don't be angry. Speak slowly. "

Mu Mingtang's eyes slowly widened, from doubt to disbelief, then to anger, and finally was on the edge of the outbreak. Fearing that she would say something similar to sleeping in separate rooms, Xie xuanchen quickly took her hand and put the other hand on Mu Mingtang's shoulder. He immediately changed the topic: "your birthday is coming soon. How do you want to spend your birthday? "
