Chapter 74

Mu Mingtang angrily clapped his hand, was about to say something, was cut off by Xie xuanchen: "we now discuss business, don't think about those messy. Do you want to stay at home or go out? Where you want to go, I'll have the venue wrapped up

Mu Mingtang stares at Xie xuanchen with a cold face. Xie xuanchen is very flexible in front of so many people. He immediately looks weak and innocent, and even coughs weakly.

Mu Mingtang was angry. Seeing him like this, he laughed again. She turned her eyes and said, "sit down and don't pretend to be ill."

"I don't know what's wrong. I have a headache and I don't feel strong." Xie xuanchen finally understands why the concubines of the harem always like to be sick. Now he also thinks this excuse is very useful. Xie xuanchen leaned on Mu Mingtang and said, "I'm sick. You're still cruel to me."

Mu Mingtang wants to push him away, but Xie xuanchen is as sticky as brown candy and can't get rid of it. Mu Mingtang grinds her teeth silently. She was worried about whether Xie xuanchen was really uncomfortable. But look at the flexibility, can it be called illness?

Mu Mingtang snorted softly and didn't buy Xie xuanchen's account: "the villain will complain first. Don't pretend to be sick. I don't want to do that. "

"No, I can't get a headache." Xie xuanchen's forehead leaned on Mu Mingtang's shoulder, and his voice was stuffy. "Tell me how you want to spend your birthday, and help me divert my attention, otherwise I can't get up."

It's still pretending. The play is quite complete. Mu Mingtang didn't want to talk to him at all, but she couldn't push it away. She didn't want to pull her face down. She just sighed and said, "don't do it. It's not the whole birthday. There's no need to arouse people."

Weak Xie xuanchen rubbed his head and blurted out: "how can that work?"

Mu Mingtang looked at him indifferently: "do you have a headache?"

Xie xuanchen said very conservatively: "it's not perfect either. What's the matter with you? Why don't you want to do it? "

"Not much." Mu Mingtang's words just now were not angry. She said, "although the birthday is not different, it's a good day after all. On a good day, I don't want to stay with those people and listen to their false words. I'm tired of staying, and they may not be sincere. "

So it is. Xie xuanchen understood and asked: "then we don't call others, we just live by ourselves. What would you like to do for your birthday? "

Mu Mingtang thinks about it carefully, and finds that he has nothing to lack now. What he wants can be realized immediately, not to mention his birthday wish. She thought for a moment and said, "it's nothing special If I have to say one thing, I want to continue to make birthday wine. My parents helped me bury the wine when I was young, and later it became a routine at home. It was interrupted for two years because of the war before, but now it's stable and can be picked up. "

When Mu Mingtang finished, he sighed with regret: "it's a pity that there are no begonias in the capital. Even if we make wine this year, we can't bury it under the Begonia tree. "

At the beginning of spring, Mu Mingtang went to the garden specially. Although the palace was full of exotic flowers and plants, there were not many begonias. There are only two Begonia trees. One has not sprouted this year, and most of them are dead. The other has been left untouched for many years and is dying.

When Xie xuanchen heard this, his eyebrows moved, but he didn't say anything.

Apart from Zhu's invitation, Mu Mingtang's other people's posts have always been ignored. The spring scenery outside the window became more and more lively, and soon it was the first day of April.

As soon as Mu Mingtang woke up this morning, he asked xuanchen for a present: "where's my birthday present?"

Xie xuanchen had already put on her clothes. When she heard her words, she laughed and said, "I forgot."

Mu Mingtang thinks it's impossible, but looking at his expression, he is afraid that he will really forget: "really?"

Xie xuanchen looked at the appearance of Mu Mingtang's wide eyes and couldn't help laughing, "I lied to you, you put on your clothes first."

Xie xuanchen has a lot of criminal records, and Mu Mingtang doesn't trust this man any more. As she was doubting, the servant girls ran in and said excitedly, "princess, come and see!"

"What?" Mu Mingtang didn't know what happened, so he was put on a cloak by the servant girl and pulled to the window. As soon as the window was opened, Mu Mingtang was startled by the scene outside.

Originally flat courtyard, I do not know when opened a flower garden, a tree Begonia is in full bloom.

Mu Mingtang was very surprised: "how can It wasn't yesterday. "

The servant girls were very excited and said to her, "princess, it's more than that. It's all over the street outside!"

"A whole street?"

"That's right!"

Mu Mingtang is surprised. She raises her eyes and looks out. Although she can't see the situation on the street, Mu Mingtang always thinks it's a lot more lively today. Early in the morning to see such a scene, Mu Mingtang also became excited, said: "quickly help me change clothes, I want to go out to see."

"Yes."

Mu Mingtang happily changed his clothes. Then he took his maids to the gate and saw that the main street outside the palace was full of begonias overnight.

Not only them, but also the people in the street are very strange. They are surrounded in piles, pointing at the sudden appearance of the Begonia tree. Some people are well-informed, talking to the people nearby, and drawing at Prince an's residence.Mu Mingtang stood on the doorstep, even if he couldn't hear him, he could guess what they were saying.

Obviously, such a big hand, such a big action, only the royal family can support it. There are two palaces on this street, one is the low-key and restrained King Jin's residence, and the other is the perverse and wanton king an's residence. Everyone doesn't want to think about it. They all guess that it was made by King an.

At this time, someone saw that there were people on the doorstep of Prince an's mansion, and they were afraid to look at them. Mu Mingtang Begonia flower has seen, don't want to be watched, in all the servant girls surrounded by leave.

After returning to Yulin hall, Mu Mingtang saw that Xie xuanchen was still pretending to read a book in the room, laughing and angry: "you said you were not prepared, I almost believed it!"

When Xie xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang's smile, he couldn't help laughing. He is going to spend many days in preparation for her words?

Xie xuanchen said: "even if I forget my birthday, I will never forget you. Don't you want to make wine, go to the garden? "

"In the garden, too?" Mu Mingtang was surprised. "Begonia is not easy to transplant, let alone a flowering tree. How can I have no idea when this happened? "

"There are always farmers who are good at planting trees. Some of them were pulled in last night, and some of them started planting a few days ago. We have to watch the trees in the garden from time to time, so I specially asked them to dig the trees that are old. They will never die in just two days. "

It started to prepare from a few days ago. Mu Mingtang picked his eyebrows and asked, "why do all people know such a big thing, but I don't?"

Xie xuanchen is accompanying Mu Mingtang to go out, hears this words, does not want to say: "may be the following person Yin Feng Yang violates."

The maid who had just said a lot of good things to the Lord choked. What's that? Mr. Wang, what are you talking about?

The maid on both sides of the complex expression, a face of doubt. Mu Mingtang strides over the threshold and hears this funny thing, which gives Xie xuanchen a look.

Nonsense. Obviously, he let the words go, and the next people didn't dare to reveal the slightest. The whole family carefully kept it from her. As a result now, Xie xuanchen is good meaning, the eyes don't blink ground slander to servant girls.

That's enough.

When Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen went to the garden, they saw that the corridor, which was once full of exotic flowers and trees, was now full of crabapple. The corridor was winding, and the crabapple was red all the way. Red and white petals were everywhere on the steps and fence.

Mu Mingtang pointed to the flowers and trees on both sides, pointing to Xie xuanchen: "this is Xifu Begonia. It has double petals, but also single petals. This purple red is the four seasons of autumn, there is slender pedicel drooping, is drooping Begonia. When I was a child, my family grew crabapple

Xie xuanchen also looked at the same thing and said nothing. After talking for a while, Mu Mingtang did his best and said, "I know you can't remember, but you're willing to listen. Thank you for preparing so much, and you've specially dug up begonias. "

Xie xuanchen was not convinced when he heard this. He raised his eyebrow and said, "who said I can't remember?"

Mu Mingtang was really surprised: "can you remember?"

"Of course."

Mu Mingtang, suspicious, casually pointed to a tree and asked him. As a result, Xie xuanchen took a glance and said it seriously.

Mu Mingtang was so surprised that he said with admiration, "I'll treat you with new eyes for three days. It's not yesterday that you can recognize the flowers

Xie xuanchen snorted softly and said: "there is only one thing to care about or not to care about. There is nothing that can't be remembered by nature. It's not so hard. As long as you are willing to pay attention, how can you not remember it? "

Mu Mingtang agrees with this. Some people say that they can't remember things. To put it bluntly, it's just that it's not important enough. On men, especially.

Mu Mingtang rose and pointed to a few trees and flowers. Xie xuanchen got them right one by one. Mu Mingtang was more and more surprised. At last, he pointed to a peach blossom. Xie xuanchen looked at it for a long time and sighed: "I can't recognize it. But I know it's not a Begonia. "

Mu Mingtang chuckles. Sure enough, Xie xuanchen is the same as he used to be. He just knows Haitang. Mu Mingtang said with a smile, "this is peach blossom. We just saw it a few days ago. You don't count at all. You can only recognize several kinds of begonias. When you meet other plants in the future, don't you know nothing? "

"That's none of my business." Xie xuanchen said, "I just need to know Begonia. What do other flowers have to do with me?"

Clearly is a very normal sentence, Mu Mingtang heard but inexplicably blush. Xie xuanchen didn't pay attention and said, "if you still want to see it, let's go on. If you don't want to, let's go back. Don't you still want to make wine? The kitchen is ready. "

Mu Mingtang answered. Wangfu garden is huge. If you visit it at one time, it's really a lot of exercise.

On the way back, Mu Mingtang asked the servant girl to collect the petals from time to time. She and Xie xuanchen explained: "Begonia flowers are poisonous and can't be put into wine directly. But my mother has a unique skill, according to a unique way to deal with the petals, you can use it. But it can't be too much. Fortunately, there are many petals in spring. When you mix them with other flowers, you don't have to worry about no raw materials. "

Xie xuanchen understood it as if he didn't understand it. He had never done this kind of thing before. He always thought it was not difficult to make wine. When he really got started, he found that it was too much to pay attention to it.Xie xuanchen is often disliked by Mu Mingtang. After a long afternoon, they finally seal the wine jar and prepare to enter the cellar.

Although there is a special wine cellar in the palace, Mu Mingtang's birthday wine should be buried under the tree. Mu Mingtang picked out the most luxuriant Begonia tree, buried wine, and said to Xie xuanchen: "this tree is often tossed by us, won't it die next year? How unlucky it will be. "

"Nonsense." Xie xuanchen stares Mu Mingtang one eye, wiped a soil to her face, "don't talk nonsense."

Mu Mingtang disgusted to rub his face with the back of his hand: "you still have soil on your hand, so you touch my face?"

"They're all from their own families. They don't like anything." Xie xuanchen glances at Mu Mingtang, but he can't help laughing at her. Mu Mingtang is more and more annoyed. Xie xuanchen smiles and steadies her: "madam, calm down, at least bury the wine first. Don't break the wine you've made all afternoon. "

The servant girls watched as the prince and the princess dug and filled the earth. They said they wanted to help each other several times, but they were all driven away by Mu Mingtang. They are a little bit sad to see the prince and Princess suspected to play with the land, and when the two finally enjoy themselves, the servant girls are all relieved and come forward to serve Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen.

They had been in the garden so long that it was time for dinner. The princess's birthday party was extremely grand. The kitchen was ready early and kept warm on the stove. It was so easy to wait until the prince and princess came back, and the kitchen quickly ordered the meal to be delivered.

After Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen change their clothes, the dishes are ready. The dinner was late. When they finished, it was dark.

Today's first day, there is no moon, but there are stars all over the sky.

Mu Mingtang looks up unintentionally and is fascinated by the stars. She waved to Xie xuanchen and said, "look, the stars are wonderful today."

Xie xuanchen goes to Mu Mingtang and looks up at the stars with her. The sky is dark, the stars are like broken diamonds, scattered in the night. The sense of vastness is far beyond words.

Mu Mingtang looked up for a while, a little bit sorry, said: "tonight, the stars are good, the wind is good. Thin shadow horizontal inclined, fragrance floating, most suitable for a drink. It's a pity. "

Hearing this, Xie xuanchen asked, "why not?"

"Our wine is only buried this evening." Mu Mingtang said, "just for a while, where can I drink?"

Xie xuanchen's eyes showed some meaningful fragmentary light, not smiling: "not necessarily."

Mu Mingtang is surprised to stare big eyes, Xie xuanchen doesn't say much, just seems to point to say: "you go to have a look to know."

Mu Mingtang intuition Xie xuanchen has a small action, she immediately want to go out, was Xie xuanchen a pull: "first fasten the Cape, urgent what."

The maid smelled that Yan had taken the cloak and handed it to Xie xuanchen. Xie xuanchen put on the cloak for her, and tied it properly, then let her go out.

At this moment, the stars are all over the sky, the crabapple is in full bloom, and the garden is full of red. Mu Mingtang found the place where they buried their wine in the afternoon. As soon as he came near, he was surprised and exclaimed, "is the soil loose?"

Xie xuanchen stands behind her, the dim yellow light reflects his face as warm as jade. He heard Mu Mingtang's words, just smile: "you dig to see."

Mu Mingtang is suspicious. Just as she is about to do it, the servant girls all come down and refuse to let Mu Mingtang do it. Mu Mingtang doesn't insist either. She uses her mouth to do the work. She digs where she points.

It's easier than doing it yourself.

Only half of the excavation, Mu Mingtang probably understood. There was nothing when I buried the wine in the afternoon, but now there are more wine jars under the crabapple tree.

Mu Mingtang vaguely looks familiar. She carries the lamp to identify it for a while, and suddenly finds that it's wrong: "isn't this the wine that my parents buried for me in Xiangyang before?"
