Chapter 72

Taking care of your beloved wife

Xie Jing said: "It's too big, I don't want it."

Jiang Youning was stunned and didn't understand, "General, why not?"

Xie Jing said, "I fight on the battlefield all the year round, what's the use of that thing?"

Jiang Youning was speechless. [Xie Jing is too honest. The carriage awarded by the emperor must be very luxurious, and it must be very comfortable to sit in. He doesn't want it? What a pity, what a pity! 】

Xie Jing had seen the carriage. It was very large inside, equipped with a bed and a table where you could rest, drink tea and chat.

The carriage is made of mahogany and is indeed very luxurious.

Jiang Youning sighed, took out the Tiaotou cake from the package, picked up one and handed it to Xie Jing, "General, eat a piece of Tiaotou cake."

Xie Jing lowered her eyes and looked at the Tiaotou cake in front of her, which was wrapped in dried lotus leaves. She had already eaten it last night and it tasted really good.

He took it and peeled it off, put it to his mouth and took a bite. It tasted even better than last night.

Jiang Youning finished one Tiaotou cake in three mouthfuls, then reached in and took out another one, peeled off the lotus leaf and brought it to his mouth to take a bite.

When she raised her head and looked at Xie Jing, she found that he had already finished the Tiaotou cake in his hand and had taken out a book from somewhere and was reading it.

Xie Jing has always been a martial artist in her eyes, but this is the first time she saw him reading a book. He looked like an invincible general when he put on armor, and he looked a bit bookish when he picked up a book.

Jiang Youning finished eating three cakes, took off her shoes, climbed onto the small bed and lay down, shaking off the quilt on the side and covering herself.

Xie Jing read for a while, and when she lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Youning, she found that she had fallen asleep. Even on the official road, the carriage was bumpy, and her whole body was shaking with the bumps of the carriage.

I can really eat and sleep.

He looked back and continued reading.

On the fifth day, Jiang Youning finished eating the Tiaotou cake, and gave a few to Xie Jing during the process.

Xie Jing glanced at the empty package. If he hadn't reminded him, it would have been finished in less than five days.

Looking at Jiang Youning, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the small bed, holding a piece of cake in her hand. A piece of cake was sweeter than Tiaotou cake.

"Don't eat any more after you finish what you have on hand."

Jiang Youning took a bite of cake and looked at Xie Jing in confusion, "Why?"

Xie Jing said: "I have a toothache after eating too much."

Jiang Youning puffed up her cheeks and said, "My tooth doesn't hurt."

"It doesn't hurt now, but it doesn't mean it won't hurt in the future." Xie Jing picked up the package on the bed and placed it next to her.

Jiang Youning saw that her snack package was taken away by Xie Jing, and she immediately became unhappy.

"General, what are you doing with my snack package?"

Xie Jing said with a serious face: "Put it here with me. I will get it for you when you want to eat."

Jiang Youning's watery almond eyes were very dissatisfied, "General, I am an adult and not a child. Do you care about what I eat?"

Xie Jing said: "Adults know better about moderation."

Jiang Youning stared at the snack package next to Xie Jing, fuming, "How could Xie Jing do this? It's so boring on the road, what can I do if I don't eat?"

Xie Jing searched behind her for a while, pulled out a book and handed it to her, "Read a book."

Jiang Youning took a look at the book in front of her and found that it was Nv Ze. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I'm not interested in this book."

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the book title Women's Guide on the cover. How could he have Women's Guide here?

He took the book back and asked, "What books do you like to read?"

Jiang Youning thought for a while. There seemed to be scripts in ancient times?

"I like reading story books."

Xie Jing didn't expect that she liked to read those things, and frowned, "You can't read the script."

Jiang Youning asked in confusion: "Why?"

Xie Jing said: "What's so good about a rich lady looking at a poor scholar?"

Jiang Youning smiled and said: "It shows that Miss Qianjin is not someone who dislikes poverty and loves wealth."

Xie Jing didn’t do much research on the dialogue book, but I heard Xue Yi’s dialogue book, and also heard about the rich daughter eloping with the poor scholar.

Considering that Jiang Youning is so young, it is easy to be deceived.

"Then do you know who wrote the script?"

Jiang Youning shook his head, "I don't know."

Xie Jing said: "What the poor scholar wrote is naturally what the poor scholar had in mind."

Jiang Youning knew the meaning of Xie Jing's words just by thinking about it.

[No wonder in ancient times, rich families always took a fancy to poor scholars and took their daughters to elope and become concubines. If a scholar was sincere, how could he let a pampered young lady run away with him despite being infamous? The daughter's parents are always described as being too poor.

Love wealth, and then beat up the mandarin ducks. Tsk, tsk, scheming man!]

Xie Jing heard what she was saying. It seemed that she always knew in her heart that this was good and she would not be easily deceived.

She chuckled: "How does the general know? Does the general also read the script?"

Xie Jing snorted coldly, "I'm not interested."

Jiang Youning nodded in agreement, "Yes, the art of war is what generals like to see."

In fact, Xie Jing is not that enthusiastic about the art of war. In his eyes, the art of war is dead and people are alive. You cannot win a battle by relying on the art of war.

Ever since the snack package was placed next to Xie Jing, it was not easy for Jiang Youning to eat snacks, especially sweets, which Xie Jing was very strict with.

She looked at Xie Jing eagerly, "General, I'll have another piece of cake."

Xie Jing refused: "No, you have already eaten five pieces today."

Jiang Youning curled her lips and said, "It's unreasonable. If you don't let me eat, what's the point of living?"

Jiang Youning said this sentence twice every day, and Xie Jing was used to hearing it.

Finally arrived in Jinling ten days later.

Xie Jing entered the palace to meet the saint, while Jiang Youning returned to the general's mansion.

As soon as she returned to Lingxi Courtyard, Chuntao saw Jiang Youning coming back and was so excited that she immediately ran to meet him.

"Girl, you are back, let me see if you have lost weight?"

Chuntao looked Jiang Youning up and down, and felt relieved when she saw that he didn't seem to be losing weight.

"The girl is not thin. It seems that the general has taken good care of her."

Jiang Youning thought that Xie Jing had indeed taken good care of her by installing a cushion and a small bed.

Yuan Bao put down what he was doing and strode over. He also looked at Jiang Youning. He hadn't seen her for more than a month and found that Jiang Youning seemed to have grown taller.

"Miss, you are back."

Jiang Youning raised his head and looked at Yuanbao. He had not changed much in the past few days since he was gone. He was wearing a green outfit that made his body stand taller.

"Well, I'm back. How are you doing?"

Chuntao said excitedly: "My servant is very good. I made a lot of velvet flower hairpins to sell, and received a lot of orders. I made Yuanbao remember them."

Yuan Bao said: "The decoration of the jewelry store has been completed, and two clerks have been hired. We are just waiting for it to open."

Jiang Youning nodded with satisfaction, "It just so happens that I brought back twelve hairpin girls."

Leng Xiao walked in with twelve girls at this time, clasped his fists and bowed, "Madam, we have been brought in."

Jiang Youning said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Guard Leng."

He bowed coldly and left.
