Why are you here?

Of course, he came to see his fiancée. He Xiyuan didn't love Liu Yulian that much, after all, their age was different. But He Xiyuan didn't want to cancel the engagement at all. He just thought that if he really broke off the engagement and was with someone else, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Come and take a look." He Xiyuan said cautiously, "There are still some things. I'll have to trouble my brother to take them back."

"Why, you're not going?" Liu Yanjing asked, "Do you think this is compensation?"

"No, I don't want to cancel the engagement, and I don't want compensation." He Xiyuan said quickly, "I'm going to the military camp, giving up literature and joining the military. I'll get married after Lian'er comes of age."

“…” Liu Yanjing stared at He Xiyuan, as if wondering whether what this person said was true or false.

"Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. I will try my best to survive." He Xiyuan said, "I will go see Lian'er then."

If he went now, he didn't have that much ability and always felt that he was too weak.

He Xiyuan was afraid that he couldn't give Liu Yulian a stable life now, and Liu Yulian was still young. If he went there, how would Liu Yulian feel? Would she feel guilty or touched?

After all, when he achieves merit, he will be the one who benefits.

He Xiyuan couldn't say that he was there simply for Liu Yulian. He didn't dare go because he was afraid that Liu Yulian would say something unpleasant. He knew what she would say. He didn't go to see her in time, so it was normal for her to misunderstand him.

But he didn't want to go in front of Liu Yulian now. As a high-spirited young man, he always wanted to show his best side to his fiancée. At least he would wait until he had achieved some success before going in front of Liu Yulian.

"Brother, there's no need to tell her." He Xiyuan was a little nervous.

"Abandon literature and pursue military affairs?" This was something Liu Yanjing had not expected. You know, He Xiyuan is the legitimate son of Duke Chengguo and has a bright future.

"Yes." He Xiyuan nodded, "My uncle happened to be here, so he came...Lian...you are here too."

Liu Yanjing is older than He Xiyuan, and when he heard this, he understood.

"My sister is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason, nor is she..."

"She's right." He Xiyuan said quickly, "It's my fault that I didn't go to see her off."

"Since you're here, let's go take a look." Liu Yanjing raised his eyebrows. "You're hiding, pretending she doesn't know. If something really happens to you, she won't know either. She's not that weak. She's become much stronger over the past period of time."

"But……"

"Are you still a man? Why are you being so cautious?" Liu Yanjing asked, "Are you not afraid that she will misunderstand you and no longer want you?"

In the end, He Xiyuan followed Liu Yanjing to the Liu family's main house. On the way there, He Xiyuan learned that these people had separated and that Liu Yanjing planned to join the army.

Liu Yanjing wasn't sure if the path to the imperial examination would be easy now, so he thought it would be better to take the military exam. He thought the ointment his sister had given him was good, and he could submit the recipe to the court. That would at least give him a chance. As for how the ointment came about, it was his sister who had painstakingly researched it after watching her brother get injured.

They were exiled and did not have much silver, so the herbs in the ointment were extremely cheap.

In this way, it can be explained.

In the Liu family's main house, He Xiyuan bought a lot of rice and flour in addition to some small things. He thought the Liu family should need these things, as well as some fabrics and ready-made clothes.

When Liu's father and others saw He Xiyuan, they were all shocked, not to mention Liu Yulian.

Liu Yulian was also thinking about how the people from the second house had plucked several cotton flowers, which made her very unhappy. There was also the question of how to remove the seeds from the cotton. You have to know that at that time there were no cotton gins, so you couldn't use a cotton gin to remove the seeds from the cotton.

If it is done manually, it will definitely not be so easy to peel so many seeds.

There aren't that many things to buy in the game system interface, just basic things like seeds, cloth, etc. Complex things like cotton gins are not available in the mall interface.

After all, the game developers really didn't think of putting something like a cotton gin in the game. In the game, you pick cotton and can directly use it to make things. The system automatically assumes that there are no seeds in cotton, which is different in reality.

"Who made you unhappy?" Liu Yanjing knew at a glance that his sister was not very happy.

"It was my second brother and his friends. They picked my cotton and said it was just for fun," Liu Yulian said. "Isn't that infuriating? But it doesn't matter. They'll know in half a month."

Liu Yulian looked at He Xiyuan and said, "I'll go pour tea."

Just when Liu Yulian was about to pour tea, Mrs. Xie brought the tea.

Mrs. Xie had met He Xiyuan and knew that He Xiyuan was Liu Yulian's fiancé. Fortunately, He Xiyuan was okay and did not say he wanted to cancel the engagement.

"I'm at my uncle's military camp, which is close to here. You can come to me if you need anything in the future." He Xiyuan looked at Liu Yulian, hoping that his fiancée would not be unhappy. "I wanted to send you off before, but something happened at home and I was delayed."

"It's okay." Father Liu understood what He Xiyuan meant. Some people in Duke Cheng's Mansion didn't want He Xiyuan to have any more contact with the Liu family.

"We'll get married after Lian'er reaches adulthood." He Xiyuan was a little nervous, angry that these people were dissatisfied. "There's no need to wait until you're successful or become a high-ranking official. I'll save money and I'll definitely make Lian'er's life better."

Liu Yulian looked at He Xiyuan, such a young man, and said these words so eagerly. Liu Yulian couldn't help but smile. She really didn't expect He Xiyuan to come.

People like them...are they considered premature love among junior high school students?

But there is no love between them, it's more of a childhood sweetheart relationship.

From this we can also see that He Xiyuan is a good person. He gave up literature and took up martial arts. He is a very courageous person.

"Lian'er..." He Xiyuan saw Liu Yulian smile and looked at her again.

"Then let's wait until Yulian comes of age." Father Liu said.

Who can guarantee that the Chengguo Mansion will not cancel the engagement later, nor can anyone guarantee that He Xiyuan will remain like this in a few years.

After hearing what Liu's father said, He Xiyuan felt a chill in his heart. He knew what the Liu family meant. His grandmother felt that the Liu family had fallen on hard times, and the Liu family believed that the Chengguo Mansion had become a high-ranking family. They were afraid that Liu Yulian would be unhappy if she married him.

"Okay." He Xiyuan didn't dare to say more, fearing that if he said too much, these people would be unhappy. It wasn't that he couldn't stand up, but he was just a young man now, not a big boss who had experienced a lot of things.

The important thing is that He Xiyuan has no confidence now, even though he is the legitimate son of Duke Chengguo.

The people next door hadn't moved in yet, so they were just moving some of their belongings over there. Actually, there wasn't much to move; Su Qiuya just wanted to buy something new and not have to worry about the old stuff.

Since you are moving to a new house, everything should be new.

When He Xiyuan arrived, Qing Yi Niang and the others did not think that He Xiyuan would still be with Liu Yulian. They all thought that He Xiyuan brought so many things just to compensate Liu Yulian.

"The legitimate son of Duke Cheng?" Su Qiuya was stunned after hearing her husband talk about He Xiyuan's identity. "Your sister is really lucky to have such a fiancé."

"What's the point of having good luck? She's not the daughter of a marquis anymore. This marriage will be cancelled sooner or later." Liu Yanbo said, "Otherwise, she will just become someone's concubine."

How could the Chengguo Mansion allow an ordinary woman to be the main wife of his legitimate son? Liu Yanbo thought that it might not be a bad thing for Liu Yulian to be He Xiyuan's concubine, at least she could have better food and clothing.

That unruly and willful sister simply cannot bear the hard life here, and she will definitely cling to He Xiyuan.

Liu Yanbo felt ashamed whenever he thought of this, but fortunately they had already separated.

He Xiyuan looked at Liu Yulian and wanted to talk to her.

The yard was so small that He Xiyuan couldn't go into the house to talk to Liu Yulian alone. He could only go to the corner and give Liu Yulian the jewelry he had bought. He knew that all the jewelry Liu Yulian had before was gone.

He thought that his fiancée had always loved beauty. There was nothing wrong with a girl loving beauty, and he wanted her to be beautiful.

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning." He Xiyuan wanted to stay here for a few more days, but he had to go to the army. "Brother, come with me. I'll take care of you."

"Okay." Liu Yulian nodded slightly.

Liu Yanjing watched this scene and only hoped that He Xiyuan would always be like this in the future.

That night, Mrs. Xie cooked a lot of dishes, both meat and vegetarian.

Even during this period, when the Liu family asked Mrs. Xie to join them for dinner, she refused. Mrs. Xie simply believed that the Liu family would definitely get better, and she firmly refused to eat with them, so the Liu family did not force her.

After dinner, Liu Yulian and He Xiyuan sat in the yard.

"It's cold here. I'll have someone send some warm clothes over some other day." He Xiyuan always felt that Liu Yulian was missing something.

"No need, we have cotton." Liu Yulian said, "It's white cotton, which can be used to make a jacket. I'll send you a jacket made of cotton in half a month."

"Okay." He Xiyuan didn't be polite to Liu Yulian. He didn't know what cotton was, but he believed in his fiancée.

He Xiyuan's earlobes turned slightly red. He had to work hard so that the two of them could live comfortably in the future.

At night, He Xiyuan stayed in the main house of the Liu family, as there happened to be a spare room here. Of course, the bed board here was not as good as before, and the quilt and other things were not as good as before, but He Xiyuan was not unhappy, but was a little excited.

He Xiyuan had a dream in which his grandmother forcefully broke off the engagement and arranged another marriage for him. He then watched Liu Yulian marry the top scholar and live a happy life while he himself endured a life of loneliness.

Yes, there is not only one top scholar. Even if he becomes the top scholar, other scholars can also become the top scholar.

"No!" He Xiyuan was shocked and woke up.

He Xiyuan was sweating profusely. This dream was too terrible. He was afraid that Liu Yulian would not even look at him. He had to work hard and have the right to speak. He couldn't let those people arrange his affairs at will.
