Chapter 127 What should I do if my wife has evil intentions?
Seeing Xie Jing's serious look, Jiang Youning must have something important to say, so she followed him into the house and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"What do you want to say, General?"
Xie Jing picked up the teacup in front of him and didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning, "I will go to war tomorrow."
Jiang Youning knew that Xie Jing was going to war, so she was not surprised.
Fortunately, she asked Chuntao to stew chicken soup today, otherwise she would not be able to drink it tomorrow when Xie Jing left.
"How long will it take for the general to come back?"
Xie Jing took a sip of tea, "Maybe about five months."
Jiang Youning secretly sighed that being a general's wife was really not easy. Xie Jing would be away for five months each time, which was equivalent to a long-distance relationship for five months.
In the era without the Internet and mobile phones, they could only rely on letters and carriages to convey information.
She and Xie Jing were not in a long-distance relationship because they were not husband and wife, nor were they a couple.
"Then take good care of yourself, General. I'll ask Chuntao to prepare some dry food for you to take with you."
It was dry food, but in fact it was some stored snacks such as cakes and biscuits.
Xie Jing thought Jiang Youning would say something like she was reluctant to let him go, but she didn't. She just asked him to take care of himself.
"You must also take good care of yourself at home. Leng Yu and Leng Xu will continue to stay by your side to protect you. Don't go out unless necessary."
Jiang Youning thought of Leng Yu and Leng Xu. Last time, the two of them couldn't beat Xiao Yu alone. I don't know if it's because their kung fu is too weak, or Xiao Yu is too good at fancy moves?
"General, how is their kung fu? Is it weak or strong?"
Xie Jing said, "Their kung fu is not weak. One against ten is no problem."
Jiang Youning questioned, "Then why can't the two of them beat Xiao Yu alone?"
Xie Jing explained, "Xiao Yu said the young master, they didn't try their best. Xiao Yu's martial arts are not weak."
Jiang Youning heard the last sentence and was a little skeptical, "Is Xiao Yu's martial arts so good? " Well, why are you still like a newbie?"
Xie Jing looked at Jiang Youning with a puzzled look, and he kindly reminded: "Is it possible that he is pretending?"
Jiang Youning suddenly realized, "Xiao Yu is so bad, he even cheated me of his child. It turns out that he is only younger than me..." Be careful~
Jiang Youning found that she had let the cat out of the bag, and stopped immediately. She looked up at Xie Jing and saw that he was staring at her.
"Xiao Yu pretended so well that he fooled me."
Xie Jing drank the tea in his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on Jiang Youning. Thinking of the separation for half a year, he actually felt a little reluctant in his heart.
"I'll ask Chuntao to prepare some dry food for the general."
Xie Jing also stood up, "I'll go tell mother."
After Xie Jing left Lingxi, Jiang Youning called Chuntao over, "Prepare some biscuits and put them in cans for the general to eat on the road tomorrow."
Chuntao asked puzzledly, "Miss, is the general going out tomorrow?"
Jiang Youning nodded, "Yes, the general will go to the war tomorrow and will be away for half a year."
Chuntao sighed, "Now that the general is gone, the girl won't be able to see the general for a long time. If you want the general to come, you can only write to the general."
As a modern person, Jiang Youning has never written a letter. She usually makes phone calls and sends messages. How can writing a letter be faster than sending messages over the phone?
When Xie Jing stepped into Jingyou Courtyard, the old lady was chatting with Du Huilan. Seeing him coming, they stopped talking.
Du Huilan stood up and bowed to Xie Jing, "General."
Xie Jing stepped forward to greet her, "Mother, my son will go to the battlefield tomorrow, mother, please take care of yourself."
The old lady was used to her son going out from time to time, but every time she saw her son go out, she would inevitably worry.
"You don't have to worry about me at home, but you, when you go out, you should always pay attention to your health."
Xie Jing said, "Don't worry, mother, my son will take good care of himself when he is out."
Du Huilan rarely saw Xie Jing on weekdays, and seeing that he was going to the battlefield again, she didn't know how long it would take for her to see him again.
It was even more impossible to consummate the marriage.
The old lady asked, "How long will it take Jing'er to come back this time?"
Xie Jing didn't know the exact time, so he gave an approximate time just like he had answered Jiang You.
"About five months."
The old lady nodded. "In half a year, Jing'er should take care of himself and come back earlier."
Xie Jing said, "My son will come back earlier."
Du Huilan stepped forward, her eyes full of reluctance. "The general is going to the battle this time, and there is no one to take care of him. I want to go with the general."
Xie Jing refused coldly, "No need."
Du Huilan said unwillingly, "General, I will follow you just to take care of your daily life, and nothing else."
Xie Jing's voice was still cold. "What will it look like if I take a woman to the battle and the soldiers see it?"
Du Huilan wanted to say something else, but seeing Xie Jing was so determined, she had to stop.
The old lady naturally wanted Du Huilan to go with her son. It would be better to have a woman to take care of her. However, she still understood her son. He didn't like women around him when he was fighting.
She glanced at Du Huilan and sighed helplessly.
When Xie Jing returned to Lingxi Courtyard, dinner was ready.
Chuntao brought the dishes to the table one by one.
Xie Jing walked to the table and glanced at the food on the table. It was as rich as usual. He sat down with his skirt lifted.
Jiang Youning urged: "Chuntao, bring the chicken soup."
"I'll go and bring it now." Chuntao turned around and went to bring the chicken soup.
Whenever Xie Jing heard about chicken soup, he would think about how he couldn't sleep well those nights. He thought he had said last time that Jiang Youning would not make chicken soup again, but she did.
After a while, Chuntao brought the chicken soup to the table.
Xie Jing glanced at the soup bowl and looked at Jiang Youning, "Are you sure you want me to have chicken soup?"
He thought that if Jiang Youning asked him to drink wolfberry and ginseng chicken soup again, she would not bear it tonight.
Jiang Youning answered affirmatively, "Of course, I asked Chuntao to make some for you."
As she spoke, she took a clean small bowl and prepared to serve him soup.
Xie Jing did not stop her when she heard it. He was thinking in his heart that it was Jiang Youning who asked him to drink some, but he did not want to drink it.
Jiang Youning opened the lid of the soup bowl, picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl of chicken soup, then placed it in front of Xie Jing, "General, drink it while it's hot."
Xie Jing lowered his eyes to look at the steaming chicken soup in the bowl, and found that there was no wolfberry in it. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning, "You didn't put wolfberry in it?"
Jiang Youning shook her head and smiled, "I didn't put it in this time, General, you can drink it without worry."
Xie Jing: "..."
When he wanted her to put it in, she didn't put it in.
He picked up the bowl and put it to his lips to blew it, then slowly drank it.
Seeing that he had finished drinking, Jiang Youning picked up the chopsticks and picked up the braised pork and put it into his mouth to eat.
Xie Jing drank three bowls of chicken soup in a row before he started to eat.
During the meal, Jiang Youning picked up a lot of dishes for him, either meat or chicken legs.
"General, you should eat more. When you leave home, you won't have these delicacies."
"But don't worry, General. I taught Xue Yi how to roast various game. When you are outside, you can catch some game and roast it."
Xie Jing thought that the roasted rabbit she had eaten at her place was indeed more delicious than others. When you are out, the most convenient thing is to catch game and roast it.
"You are thoughtful."
Jiang Youning smiled indifferently, "It's my duty."
Xie Jing ate the meat in the bowl and glanced at Jiang Youning, only to see that she was enjoying it.
Until he fell asleep in bed, Xie Jing didn't hear Jiang Youning say something about parting.
He never cared about these things before, but now he suddenly cared about them and wanted to hear them.
"I have to go out before dawn tomorrow."
Jiang Youning was a little distressed when she heard this, "So early, can I still get up early to see the general off?"
Xie Jing said, "No need to see him off, no matter where we go, we're parting."
Seeing Youning touching his chin, he nodded, "What the general said makes sense, so I won't see him off, the general just needs to come back early."
Xie Jing: "..."
"I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow, don't you have anything to say?"
Jiang Youning turned sideways to look at Xie Jing, "General, now that you remind me, I really have something to say to you."
Xie Jing became interested and also turned sideways to look at her, "I'm listening."
Jiang Youning said seriously, "General, it's very dangerous to be on the battlefield. You must take care of yourself. As long as you are alive, you will have a bright future. If you don't take care of yourself and die bravely, then I will have to choose another husband."
Xie Jing thought he would hear her reluctant words, but the result was that after he died, she would remarry?
"I'm not dead yet."
Jiang Youning saw Xie Jing's gloomy face and knew that he was unhappy. She smiled and said, "Aren't I reminding the general? I'm afraid the general will go crazy on the battlefield and forget that he has a young wife at home who doesn't want to be a widow."
Xie Jing: "..."
He stared at Jiang Youning for a while, turned over and pressed her under him, and said viciously: "Are you always looking forward to my untimely death so that you can find someone else?"
Jiang Youning was frightened by Xie Jing's sudden violent behavior. It was the first time she saw Xie Jing look ferocious.
She felt somewhat innocent, "Why would I hope that the general would die young?"
Xie Jing snorted, "You have already thought about finding a new home."
Jiang Youning said as a matter of course, "In order to prevent me from finding a new home, the general must return safely."
Xie Jing was stunned for a long time after listening to this. He suddenly thought that if he really died young, if he really could not live past the age of 24, Jiang Youning was still young, and remarriage was inevitable.
He never believed in fate, but when he met Jiang Youning, he had to believe it.
"You are right, if you die, you will have nothing."
Jiang Youning looked at Xie Jing's unwilling look. No one could predict what would happen in the future. She didn't know whether Xie Jing could live past the age of 24, and Xie Jing himself didn't know.
The only thing she could be sure of was that Xie Jing would be fine on this expedition.
The reason why she said that was because she was afraid that Xie Jing would not care about anything when he went to the battlefield.
It would be too difficult to find another man like Xie Jing.
"The general will go to war tomorrow, so you should rest early."
Xie Jing stared at the person under him, thinking that he would leave tomorrow and would not see her for several months, and he almost did not even think about lowering his head to kiss her.
As a single dog, Jiang Youning felt it necessary to remind Xie Jing that she had not agreed to be his wife yet. She was disappointed by all the kisses and bites.
Xie Jing asked, how strong is he?
If he hugs you, you won't even have the chance to move a finger.
He kissed her so hard that she couldn't breathe.
