After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she hurriedly looked at the other jars. That's right, these were the ones. Even if there were no markings on the items in one's home, one could still recognize them.
Mu Mingtang's eyes welled up and she suddenly felt like crying. Hsieh Hyun-chen walked to her side and saw that her eyes had turned red. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Mu Mingtang shook her head and was speechless. She lowered her head and wiped her tears. She asked in a nasal voice, "How did you find it?"
"If I wanted to find it, I could naturally find it." Hsieh Hyun-chen said softly, "Although Xiangyang was in chaos back then, the wine was buried underground and escaped disaster. Later, your house was invaded by others. They didn't know that there was wine underground, so they kept it intact. After I sent someone to find it, I rushed it to the capital. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking and casually added, "Of course, the people who invaded your house have been chased away. I bought a new house and put it under your name. I'm still renovating it these few days. When it's done, I'll accompany you to Xiangyang whenever you want to go back. "
Mu Mingtang wanted to cry again. She wiped away the tears on her eyelashes and took a deep breath. She said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
Hsieh Hyun-chen reached out and patted her head. He said, "You don't have to thank me. It's not a big deal. Don't cry. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen wanted to divert her attention. He deliberately said, "Count, how many jars are there in total?"
Mu Mingtang was indeed led away by Hsieh Hyun-chen's words. She counted carefully and said in surprise, "Seventeen jars? How is that possible? Father and Mother only buried twelve jars for me. Including the one we buried in the afternoon, there are only thirteen jars. How can there be seventeen jars? "
Mu Mingtang turned to look at Hsieh Hyun-chen. "Did you do it? But I'm only sixteen years old this year. Why did you bury seventeen jars? "
Hearing this question, Xie Xuanchen sighed with some vicissitudes of life. Although he did not say anything, Mu Mingtang looked at his expression and remembered.
Right, she seemed to have told Hsieh Hyun-chen before that her parents would bury a jar of wine for her every birthday. Her father also said that they would bury at least seventeen jars of wine before letting her get married.
So that's what happened.
Mu Mingtang was really convinced. Hsieh Hyun-chen looked like he didn't care about anything in life, but he was actually so meticulous. She couldn't even remember it herself, but Hsieh Hyun-chen actually noticed it.
Mu Mingtang sighed in admiration, but Hsieh Hyun-chen had always regarded himself as an indomitable big shot. She was too embarrassed to express her thoughts in front of Hsieh Hyun-chen, so she changed the topic and asked, "What are the other jars?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen showed a serious expression and said thoughtfully, "Maybe it's water."
Mu Mingtang glared at him. "I'm asking you a serious question. I'm not joking."
"It's really water." Hsieh Hyun-chen also looked at Mu Mingtang honestly and said, "If you don't believe me, open a jar and try it. Maybe you'll be able to drink some water."
Mu Mingtang was skeptical. She didn't think that anyone would do such a silly thing, but after thinking about it, Hsieh Hyun-chen really could do such a thing. She stared at him suspiciously for a long time, then found the extra jars of wine and picked one for the maid to open.
Hsieh Hyun-chen was surprised and asked, "How did you know it's these jars?"
"Of course I can recognize the things in the house." Mu Mingtang pointed at the wine on the ground and said, "This is the wine we buried together this afternoon. These were prepared for me by my parents. The rest of the unfamiliar ones were naturally prepared for you."
The maid opened the wine and poured it into two wine glasses. She brought it to Mu Mingtang and Hsieh Hyun-chen. Mu Mingtang took it and tasted it. She immediately frowned and looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen accusingly. "It's wine. You lied to me."
Hsieh Hyun-chen clicked his tongue lightly and said, "I didn't expect you to actually believe me."
Mu Mingtang was very angry. Hsieh Hyun-chen always lied to her, but she always believed him. Mu Mingtang was angry and said, "You're always like this. I won't believe you anymore."
"I'm just teasing you. Although I lied to you at the beginning, when have I ever really lied to you? "
"You didn't?" Mu Mingtang looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen suspiciously. "Why do I remember that there were many times?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen was a little flustered when Mu Mingtang looked at him like that. Did he really lie to her? Hsieh Hyun-chen couldn't be sure, so she quickly changed the topic. "No, you remembered wrong. Didn't you want to drink wine? It's a beautiful day with good wine and beautiful women. How about we drink a cup? "
Mu Mingtang looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen and thought that he really was a beautiful woman. So she also nodded and said, "Alright."
After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he turned around and saw the dense group of maidservants behind him. He immediately frowned in disgust, "Why are you still here? You can all leave. I don't want to see you. "
The disgust in his highness' voice was so real that the maidservants felt a little hurt. They didn't dare disturb his highness' mood. After putting down the wine glasses, they all left in a line.
The maidservants had hung lanterns in the corridor. Now that the maidservants had left, the garden didn't feel dark. Mu Mingtang looked around and said, "You should have told them to leave a set of chairs for us. Now that you've sent them away, where will we sit? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen snorted in disdain at this question. He lifted his robe and sat down on the wooden steps. His long legs crossed the steps and casually placed them on the ground, "The road is dead and people are alive. There are so many things around us, how can we not find a place to sit?"
Mu Mingtang thought that it was true. She had been pampered for too long and had forgotten what it felt like to sit on the ground. She copied Hsieh Hyun-chen and sat on the steps. She didn't think there was a problem when she was standing, but when she sat down, Mu Mingtang found that something wasn't right.
"Why can't I put my legs on the ground?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen looked down and suggested, "How about you sit down two steps?"
Mu Mingtang was hurt by these words. She glared at Hsieh Hyun-chen and angrily said, "I won't!"
After saying that, she tried to reach the ground with all her strength. However, it was very difficult for her to straighten her legs, but Hsieh Hyun-chen could easily step on the ground.
Hsieh Hyun-chen looked at her for a while and said honestly, "It's not a problem with the posture. It's just that the length is not enough. Or we can change to a place with lower steps and you can try again? "
Mu Mingtang seemed to be asking for humiliation. She silently retracted her legs that were about to cramp and stubbornly maintained her last bit of dignity, "No need."
Hsieh Hyun-chen tactfully stopped talking about this topic. He took the wine glass, refilled it for her, and then handed it to Mu Mingtang.
The night wind blew gently. The spring wind was gentle even at night. Begonias fell with the night wind, like a red rain.
Many petals fell beside Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang looked at the dancing begonia petals in front of her. Although this place did not look like her former home at all, Mu Mingtang felt that she had returned to her hometown.
Perhaps, this is where her heart is at ease.
Mu Mingtang unknowingly finished the glass of wine. She looked up at the stars in the sky and asked, "Do you know the constellations in the sky?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen was pouring wine for Mu Mingtang. When he heard this, he took the time to look up and said, "I roughly know a few."
Mu Mingtang took the wine and sipped it, "Then you can point out the constellations for me."
Hsieh Hyun-chen naturally did not refuse. He picked a few that were easy to recognize and pointed them out to Mu Mingtang one by one. He was afraid that she would find it boring, so he deliberately picked a few wild legends for her to listen to. Mu Mingtang was not a good drinker, so when she listened to Hsieh Hyun-chen, she did not notice. When Hsieh Hyun-chen handed her a glass, she drank a glass and fainted not long after.
She forgot that this was not the begonia wine that she brewed at home. It was prepared by Hsieh Hyun-chen. The wine that he prepared was very strong.
Mu Mingtang was in a daze. At first, she sat down and listened, but later, she slowly leaned against the railing. She did not know when, but she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Hsieh Hyun-chen noticed that Mu Mingtang was not moving. He turned his head and saw that she had indeed fallen asleep. In fact, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not drink much. On the other hand, Mu Mingtang was drunk.
The atmosphere was just right. The sky was full of stars, and flowers fell like rain. She leaned against the pillar in a deep sleep. Her face was slightly red, like a begonia flower that was tender and beautiful.
Above her was the constellation, and beside her was the begonia flower. It was clearly something that did not involve anything, but at this moment, it made people feel particularly peaceful.
Recently, the spring breeze had warmed up, so the night was not cold or gloomy. He was not afraid that Mu Mingtang would catch a cold while sleeping. Hsieh Hyun-chen looked at Mu Mingtang's peaceful sleeping face. His heart was calm and satisfied, but also restless.
Zhu Yanghong asked him why he wanted children. In his letter, Ma Chong also tactfully said that it was time for him to consider having children.
In the past, his heart was filled with power and the world. He could not imagine that he would start a family, or even have children with another person. After the accident, he did not even want to live, let alone have children as a burden.
However, a few days ago, when Zhu Yanghong mentioned this matter, Hsieh Hyun-chen found that although he was shocked, he did not reject it. If this person was Mu Mingtang, just thinking about having a child in the future with his and Mu Mingtang's blood, and looking like both their father and mother, made him very excited.
If he really had a chance to have a child of his own in the future, he would definitely tell him from a young age that he was the best, and that there was no need to compare himself to anyone else in the world.
He hoped that he would be a strict but not distant father. At least, he did not want to be like him and Xie Yi.
Hsieh Hyun-chen played with the wine cup in his hand. Suddenly, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. Hsieh Hyun-chen clicked his tongue in disdain and casually threw the silver cup on the ground.
It was such a small cup. What was the point of drinking it? Drinking made him angry. He might as well not drink it.
He also leaned against the railing and looked back at Mu Mingtang's sleeping face. She slept very quietly. In fact, Hsieh Hyun-chen did not sleep well before. However, ever since Mu Mingtang came to his side, seeing Mu Mingtang sleeping so peacefully, Hsieh Hyun-chen could inexplicably fall asleep very quickly.
Although he was inexperienced, it did not mean that he did not understand. He only felt at ease when Mu Mingtang slept by his side. Previously, he had wholeheartedly allowed Mu Mingtang to remarry. Later on, he did not know when he started to be unwilling. He had never considered having a child before, and he had never even thought about getting married. However, if that person was Mu Mingtang, he would look forward to it.
And so on. All these changes pointed to one problem. He liked the person by his side, so much so that it was in his bones and blood. He was willing to lay down his butcher's knife for her, willing to put on his own shackles for her, and also willing to reorganize his forces and fight for power for her.
Fortunately, this person was his wife. In this life, they would be bound together. Unfortunately, she was already his wife. She had known him too early, but he had known her too late.
The established way of getting along with each other had already been formed. If he wanted to take another step forward, he would always be worried about his gains and losses.
Hsieh Hyun-chen sighed sadly.
This was really a very f * cked up matter.
The more Hsieh Hyun-chen thought about it, the more tragic he felt. He stared at Mu Mingtang and felt that the wine in her glass tasted better. Now, he could even see the moisture on Mu Mingtang's lips.
Hsieh Hyun-chen thought that taking advantage of someone's unpreparedness was not a gentleman. However, on second thought, he was not a gentleman in the first place. Why should he care about the theories of these nerds? This thought was like a bewitching spell. The more Hsieh Hyun-chen looked, the more eager he became. Finally, he could not help but lean over and kiss Mu Mingtang's lips.
The kiss was brief. Hsieh Hyun-chen quickly sat up straight as if he had done something bad. It was clearly a very light taste of wine, but Hsieh Hyun-chen felt as if he had drunk too much. It was very strong, and his entire body was dizzy.
He was a little drunk, but he knew very well that he was not drunk.
Hsieh Hyun-chen leaned against the railing and calmed down for a while. The night breeze was gentle, and a subtle fragrance drifted. Hsieh Hyun-chen sat for a long time. Finally, he sighed.
He got up and picked up Mu Mingtang. Stepping on the begonia petals on the ground, he slowly walked towards the bedroom. He understood his own feelings, and he also understood that Mu Mingtang's feelings for him had not reached this level.
In fact, he suspected that they were far from it.
The matter of the child was not urgent. This was something that would happen naturally. In comparison, he was more worried about Mu Mingtang's brain.
