Chapter 171 I Just Want to Marry You



"You're welcome." Xia Zhiliao answered generously, which was very pleasing.

Wei Jianqing also got some understanding of this little kid from Wen Heng's few words, but after meeting him, he felt that he had underestimated the child.

This is not the first time for this little girl to come to Beijing. She is so calm that she is even more confident than the adults in the Xia family. The tone of her answer is neither humble nor arrogant. Wow, she is worthy of being someone who can order the prince around.

Wei Jianqing had a very good impression of Xia Zhiliao, and his liking for her was not just because of General Wei.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you guys rest in this yard, and so do you guys." Although Wei Jianqing is not very tall, he is thoughtful and careful in his thinking.

"Thank you very much."

"Brother, you are being so formal again. Isn't this the way brothers should behave? I will take you around the capital tomorrow." Wei Jianqing looked at the three Xia Jiang brothers, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Xia Jiang nodded vigorously, unable to speak anymore. It was unclear whether he was nervous or scared.

Although Xia Jiang was a little dull in this regard, he was honest and sincere. "Uncle Wei, can you really tell me everything?"

"Xia Jiang!" Xia Jinjun shook his head at his son. Even if the other person treated him sincerely, he couldn't really be so ignorant of his limits.

"Second brother, let him speak. Are you the second brother Xia Jiang? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xia Jiang looked at Xia Jinjun timidly, and was forced back by his father's stern eyes. He lowered his head, and then shook it a few times.

"Brother, look how scared you are of him. It's okay. Tell me what I can do to help you."

Xia Jiang looked at Xia Jinjun again.

Xia Jinjun frowned, "You, go ahead and tell me."

Sons are not as worry-free as daughters. The youngest daughter does not cause him any distress.

"Think it over carefully before you speak." Xia Jinjun warned coldly.

Xia Jiang nodded. "Can I go to the military camp and take a look? I heard what Grandpa Wei said and I really want to go and see it."

Wei Jianqing chuckled, "Boy, so that's it. I thought it was something difficult. Of course it's possible."

"Really?" Xia Jiang raised his voice excitedly, "Can I really go?"

"Of course, are you two going?"

Xia He and Xia Hai nodded, "Go!"

"Then you have to get up early tomorrow morning. I'll take you for a ride. Do you know how to ride a horse?"

The three brothers shook their heads and said, "It's not okay for boys not to know how to ride a horse. I'll teach you later."

The three brothers nodded happily.

[Are you going to be a soldier, brother? Being a soldier is better than being a bandit. ]

Xia Jinjun originally wanted to say that his son didn't know the rules, but after hearing this, he didn't object. "Brother Jianqing, the children are still young and don't know anything. Don't spoil them. If it's inconvenient, don't make it difficult for them."

Xia Chen also echoed, "Yes, I can't make things difficult for you."

"Brother and sister-in-law, this is not a problem. Believe me, I really can't do this. I dare not do anything reckless." Wei Jianqing said with a smile, "Okay, is there any problem this time? If not, I will arrange accommodation for others."

The family of five shook their heads, unwilling to waste other people's time any further.

But after Wei Jianqing left, Xia Jinjun still told his sons not to talk to others easily. He didn't say anything harsh, but just patiently explained the reason.

Xia Jiang nodded, "Dad, I won't do that again."

Xia Jinjun patted his shoulder and said, "I am sincere, Dad knows that, but you are a child with a sincere heart. Sometimes people are not sincere, and you may not be able to tell."

"Dad, I understand." Xia Jinjun nodded, "Okay, let's all go and rest."

"Sister Qing, how about this place?" General Wei looked at Mrs. Xia carefully, like a child waiting to be praised.

"Well, why not? I'm really happy for you to have this day."

Such a big house is his home, which is something Old Mrs. Xia never dared to think about.

"This is where I left it for you, hoping you could bring the kids here. I'm not saying this for anything else..."

General Wei hurried to explain, fearing that she was overthinking it.

"I understand. How could I not understand what you mean? If you really want to humiliate me, why do you do this?" Old Mrs. Xia couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. She just felt that she owed something to the man in front of her.

"I was also hoping for the best for you. I have a family to support and I didn't want to cause you any trouble. When the person you sent said that you were an official, I was really happy for you and only hoped that you would get married, have children, and live a good life."

"Sister Qing, I only want to marry you in this life."

Old Mrs. Xia smiled. After hearing these words, what else could she not believe?

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to see the emperor and ask to retire and return home."

Old Lady Xia looked at him, "I know what you're thinking, but are you really not going to think about it anymore?"

"No, I almost lost my life in this battle. I have fought for my country for half my life. From now on, I just want to protect you and enjoy family happiness with you. Jianqing will take over from me."

Old Madam Xia wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by General Wei, "Sister Qing, there is no need to persuade me. I have made up my mind."

"Ah, you, once you make up your mind, nothing can change it. You are already old, but you are still so stubborn."

The next day, General Wei went to the morning court and told him that he planned to retire and return home. However, Emperor Shunde did not agree immediately and asked him to go back and think about it.

Although General Wei said there was no need to consider it, Emperor Shunde did not agree on the spot.

After the court was dismissed, General Wei returned to his mansion, and Wei Jianqing also happened to be returning from the military camp with the three Xia Jiang brothers.

The three brothers were very excited. What was even more exciting was that they competed with a group of soldiers and did not lose.

Wei Jianqing also praised them highly. When General Wei learned about this, he was also very happy. "Well done! You are indeed the grandson of Sister Qing. You are not a wimp."

"Dad, you didn't see it, especially Xia Jiang. He's quite skilled. He looks skinny but actually has a lot of strength. He almost beat up Zuo Xianfeng."

"Really?" General Wei gave Xia Jiang an admiring look. "So this guy is a good material."

But he sighed, fearing that the second son and his wife would be reluctant to leave their child in the military camp.

"Okay, aren't you going to take your brothers for a walk? Go ahead."

"Dad, are you and Aunt Qing going?"

"She is tired. Let her rest for two more days." General Wei was worried about Mrs. Xia's health.

Wei Jianqing raised his eyebrows, "Then you stay with Aunt Qing, we will be back later and won't disturb you."

"Go!" General Wei glared at him. If no one was around, he really wanted to kick him.

Wei Jianqing was not afraid of him. Although his father looked fierce, he was actually very caring.
