I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Xie Xuanchen said that there won't be any moths there until before the new year. Although Xie Xuanchen said this, Mu Mingtang thought it better to be more careful. Since she discovered the inexplicable fragrance ball, she no longer needs fragrance in the room, and she is ventilated every day, paying attention to clothing, food, housing and transportation.

As expected, what Xie Xuanchen said was right. November ended smoothly without any accidents. Xie Xuanchen didn't need to guard against someone's black hand this month, nor did he have to bear the psychological burden of going crazy without warning, and his body recovered extremely quickly. Mu Mingtang could feel that Xie Xuanchen's condition was obviously getting better, which was the result of pretending to be sick.

Seeing the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching, and the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. Someone hung red lanterns on the road, and the palace was busy shopping for New Year goods.

Mu Mingtang was infected by this atmosphere, unconsciously happy. There are hundreds of people in the palace, so she doesn't need to worry about buying, she just needs to move her lips and order the dishes she likes. Moreover, there are only two masters in the palace, she and Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang does not need to entertain her in-law relatives, nor does she need to look at the faces of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, let alone worry about money. She was the only one responsible for all matters in the palace, and she could prepare as much as she wanted, which was extremely comfortable.

After Xie Xuanchen came out, he saw Mu Mingtang sitting on the Arhat bed next time, cutting his head down. Seeing him wake up, Mu Mingtang said, "You finally woke up. You said me, I think you don't sleep at night and don't sleep in the morning. I wake up with such a big movement, I can't wake you up."

"Who said that?" Xie Xuanchen sat opposite Mu Mingtang, picked up the things on the table and looked at it, "I woke up as soon as you moved in the morning, but I didn't move."

Mu Mingtang didn't believe this, and still cut the window grilles in his hands. Xie Xuanchen looked at it for a while and asked, "What do you cut this for?"

"It's the New Year, of course you have to cut the window grilles." Mu Mingtang said that he had already cut one, put down the scissors, and took the finished product to Xie Xuanchen to look at it. "Look, does it look good?"

Mu Mingtang cut a fish, the scales of the fish are distinct and lifelike, especially the rare asymmetry. Xie Xuanchen smiled and nodded, his eyes condensed suddenly, and he noticed that Mu Mingtang's hands were red.

Xie Xuanchen immediately shook Mu Mingtang's hand and took it up to look closely. Mu Mingtang's tiger's mouth was rubbed and red, which was caused by the long time holding the scissors. Her hands were slender and white, and such marks appeared on her hands, very obvious.

Xie Xuanchen looked distressed and said, "What tricks do you like, just let the subordinate go out and buy it, why bother to cut it yourself?"

"How can this be the same?" Mu Mingtang said, "The process of preparing for the New Year is the most anticipated. There is nothing unusual about New Year's Eve. What is really precious is to purchase New Year goods, clean the house, and cut new clothes with the family. ."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he raised his head and quickly glanced at Xie Xuanchen. Seeing that Xie Xuanchen was still kneading the red mark on her hand, he didn't seem to notice, so he said low and quickly: "Besides, this is our number one. A new year."

Before the age of twelve, every Chinese New Year was the happiest time for Mu Mingtang, because only then, his father was no longer busy with business affairs, and his mother would also take her to make clothes and buy snacks with a smile. What Mu Mingtang likes is not new clothes, but when making new clothes, her parents are by her side.

Later, the city of Xiangyang was ruined, and her carefree boudoir career never went back. She spent the next few New Years on the go, and the escape ended easily. They settled down in Chenliu, but Granny Zhou was tired and fell ill.

That new year, Mu Mingtang had to run around to make ends meet, but also to take care of the patients, and was exhausted. However, mother-in-law Zhou still didn't get through, and the New Year was gone.

After that, she went to Jiang's house, not to mention the New Year. Speaking of it, this year is a long-lost place for her to look forward to the New Year wholeheartedly in peace and harmony.

She sits in the warm and tall house, she doesn't have to run around for a living, she doesn't have to worry about money, just like when she was a child, she doesn't have to worry about anything, just look forward to the New Year. And beside her, sitting her savior, she liked when she was young.

She really didn't feel any dissatisfaction anymore, she just wished to turn her white head as soon as she closed her eyes, without experiencing any disturbances in the middle.

Mu Mingtang thought Xie Xuanchen hadn't noticed, but in fact how could he fail to notice.

Xie Xuanchen once heard Mu Mingtang talk about exile and being adopted by the Jiang family. At that time, he felt that this little girl was really not easy, but now that he listens to it, every word really hurts.

She is looking forward to the New Year in this way. She must have gone through many twists and turns and turmoil, so she cherishes her stability. Xie Xuanchen felt sorry for Mu Mingtang. In fact, he hadn't spent the New Year seriously for a long time.

He has never lacked anything since he was a child. He has a superior family background, extraordinary talents, and a gentle and beautiful mother who pays great attention to him. Xie Yi was very strict with him, but Guo Rong liked him, and he did not hesitate to exaggerate and teach. He does not lack material, nor does he lack care.

Xie Xuanchen once took all of this for granted, and he did everything he wanted, so he never paid attention to the New Year. Until Mrs. Yin was killed by Emperor Gong of the Later Jin Dynasty, his home disappeared in an instant.

Guo Rong married another, Xie Yi helped him, and Xie Xuanchen also set up a house alone. He was busy with foreign affairs all day, and never cared about it, the taste of New Year in the palace was naturally very weak. Speaking of which, Xie Xuanchen couldn't remember the last time the house was lively, how long ago everyone was busy for one thing.

Probably, it was when Mrs. Yin was still alive.

Xie Xuanchen sighed silently. Instead of letting go, he took Mu Mingtang's hand and asked: "You have to cut new clothes for the New Year, what do you like?"

"Making new clothes again? I just made a batch the day before yesterday." Mu Mingtang was really worried. Now she can't wear her clothes at all. The fabrics in the royal palace's storeroom are already full, and the palace will give out rewards every few days.

If the emperor wants to make face, the reward will never be bad, and as soon as the emperor gives it, the empress and queen mother will be embarrassed to look at them, and they will also send something out. The result of this is that the inventory will never be used up. Mu Mingtang can't even wear the cloths he rewarded in the palace, let alone Xie Xuanchen from time to time calling outsiders in. He doesn't bother to look at it. Shopping always scratches a page from beginning to end. .

Mu Mingtang changed clothes every day, and there were still many clothes squeezed in the closet, and he never wore them.

Xie Xuanchen quite rightly said, "I made clothes for the twelfth lunar month the day before yesterday, but now I want to do the same for the New Year? In the afternoon, let people send the fashionable fabrics of this month to choose... Forget it, let them choose everything. Send two horses in."

Mu Mingtang stared at this prodigal gadget, speechless for a long time. She sighed and said, "I know you are kind, but when my parents led me to make clothes when I was young, they were shopping from one store to another, but you didn't buy a car like this. I took my kindness. But it’s really unnecessary."

She didn't want to pick any more, she was too tired.

Xie Xuanchen was not convinced by these words: "I can also take you out. I'm afraid you find it annoying to go out, so let me send you in. If you want to go to the store, it's not easy. Come, in the afternoon. Set of cars."

"Oh..." Mu Mingtang stopped him quickly, "No need."

The maid originally responded, but now she stopped when she heard Mu Mingtang's words. They looked around, not knowing who to listen to. Xie Xuanchen held Mu Mingtang's hand, pressed it firmly, and said, "Listen to me, set the car."

"Yes."

Seeing that he had a heart to lose, Mu Mingtang sighed and tried to discuss: "If you really go out, don't go to the clothing store."

"You don't like it?"

"It's too tiring to pick tricks. I have a headache. But we haven't bought our lights on the last Yuan Festival. Why don't we go to see the lights?"

Xie Xuanchen didn't care, anyway, it wasn't him who bothered in the end. He nodded happily, "Okay, listen to you."

Mu Mingtang said that it was troublesome, but when he knew he was going out in the afternoon, he still prepared excitedly. In fact, since she has been in Beijing, she hasn't gone out seriously. When she was an adopted daughter in the Jiang family before, she was not her biological daughter. How dare she want things to do, she married later and came to the palace, because Xie Xuanchen was not at ease, and she never went out for shopping.

In vain, she stayed in Tokyo for two years. In fact, she hasn't seen the bustling city of Tokyo much.

This time Xie Xuanchen will also go out. This is completely different. Mu Mingtang doesn't have to worry about the time and distance. He is happy all morning. Xie Xuanchen was pleased to see her so happy, but it was more of pity.

Actually blame him, he should have been with her long ago.

Wang An and Princess Wang went on a trip and turned the people down. Xie Xuanchen had been banned before and could not go out. Everyone knew nothing about it. Later, his chain was removed, and no one dared to mention the ban. The emperor certainly didn't want Xie Xuanchen to run around, but who would dare to say?

So now Xie Xuanchen said he was going out, no one dared to stop. But they couldn't really do nothing, they hurriedly called in the guards, in the name of protection, surrounded Xie Xuanchen inside and out. In addition, the guard of honor, the maid, and the young lady were always following a lot.

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were sitting in the car. There were many servants in the back, and the soldiers were in good order. Seeing the mighty and mighty, they were almost ready for the emperor's patrol. But these Mu Mingtang certainly didn't care. She heard the horse-drawn carriage whirring, slowly drove out of the palace and turned into the streets. Mu Mingtang couldn't restrain his curiosity anymore, and secretly opened the curtain to look.

The shops on both sides lined up, with flags scattered high and low, and the cries were endless and lively. Tokyo has a population of one million, and the New Year's Eve is approaching at the moment, and you can imagine how lively the streets are.

Mu Mingtang couldn't bear to blink his eyes when he saw it, and it was different from going out to go shopping in person if he called the store to the mansion. It's impossible to take photos in class just with the excitement full of fireworks.

There are many people performing acrobatics on the street to attract the audience to buy things at the stalls. Just along the way, Mu Mingtang saw many of them. Seeing the strangeness, Mu Mingtang couldn't help but pull Xie Xuanchen to see.

Xie Xuanchen just looked at her and smiled softly. If Mu Mingtang saw an excited place pulling him, Xie Xuanchen would lower his head and glance at him, nodding in agreement.

These are things that Xie Xuanchen is used to seeing, and he doesn't think it is unusual. But having said that, after a few years of absence, there are more tricks in Tokyo, and Xie Xuanchen really feels that he seems a little bit out of date.

Because of Mu Mingtang, their car frame stopped and went, and the maidservants kept running to both sides to buy things, and the street that was not wide was blocked by them. Of course, the pedestrians on both sides complained, but as soon as they looked up and saw the neat support in front and the gleaming sabers on the guards, they still didn't dare to say more, and went around.

However, there are also children who stare curiously at the gorgeous car in the middle of the road in the arms of their mother. More young women enviously watched the glamorous maid moving things a few cars behind, and the people watching the cockfighting on the side of the road saw it, but they were stunned by the rough calculation.

"Which lady is this going out, shopping so lavishly?"

"The carriage is decorated with gold, so take it as the family of the male and female."

"No more!" The knowledgeable man pointed to the guards on both sides of the frame, and said, "I see no one with a sword, at least it must be a royal family member."

The sword is a ceremonial sword and can only be worn by the Imperial Guard. Ordinary people can't even think of the people who can make the Janissaries guard.

At this moment, Mu Mingtang didn’t know how much repercussions her trip had caused outside. She bought a lot of novelties that she hadn’t seen before, put down the curtains contentedly, and said, “Okay, let’s go to see the lanterns, don’t delay. It's business, let's go."

The coachman got the order and drove the carriage forward and turned into another street. However, their team is really huge. Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen's frame just turned the corner, and the large team behind them had not fully swung over, and they happened to hit the two teams head-on.

It was also a coincidence that the three powerful carriages appeared on the same street at the same time. Tokyo is crowded and small. Unlike Chang'an's neat, horizontal and vertical 25 streets, Tokyo is originally smaller than Chang'an, but at this time the population is larger than Chang'an. The more shops are built, it is conceivable that the street can only become narrower and narrower. Originally, when a carriage walks, the pedestrians on both sides should avoid it, and it can be safe, but at the moment three carriages appear together, it is not enough to go. .

The other two teams were walking in the same direction. Although they were slow, they were able to walk. However, Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen's carriage suddenly crossed from the side road, facing them, and happened to be blocked. At this moment, if you can't go in or retreat, no one can go.

All three of them brought many servants, and immediately blocked an entire street. Pedestrians on both sides squeezed hard, and the coachman tried to control the irritable horse, and replied inward: "Prince, Princess, there are two carriages in front of them. The road is blocked and you can't pass."

Mu Mingtang could feel how crowded it was outside while sitting in the car. She had no idea, and asked Xie Xuanchen, "The road is blocked, what should I do?"

Xie Xuanchen didn't care at all, and said at will: "Simple, let them retreat to the side of the road and make way for us."

As soon as Xie Xuanchen finished saying this, a young man came over and shouted at them with a sharp throat: "The one in front, you back to the side road, don't block our young master's road!"
