Chapter 223 Jiang Youning was nervous

. "Come in and talk." Xie Jing turned and walked in.

Leng Xiao followed him in.

Xie Jing sat down on the chair, looked up at Leng Xiao, "Go ahead."

Leng Xiao knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, "General, I would like to ask you to be a matchmaker."

Xie Jing was a little surprised to hear this, then smiled and said, "Why, you have found a good family?"

Leng Xiao said embarrassedly, "General, Nan Mianmian wanted to marry me because I wanted to become a monk. I know that I am of low status and not worthy of her, but only if I marry her will she not become a monk.

Xie Jing looked at Leng Xiao's upright appearance and felt a little guilty for digging such a big hole for him. Who knows what will happen when he grows up and finds out the truth?

"You can't force yourself to marry a woman you don't like because of this. You have to think it through. You can't regret it after you marry her. "

Leng Xiao lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "General, I will not regret it, but I am afraid that Nan Mianmian will regret it after she has thought it through. Otherwise, General, go and ask? There is still a chance to change your mind now, but it will be too late after the marriage."

Xie Jing looked at the upright and honest Leng Xiao. She just wants you to marry her, so how could she regret it?

"Don't worry, I will ask. If there is no problem, I will propose marriage on the second day of the New Year. You are not young anymore."

Leng Xiao said: "Thank you, General." Xie

Jing thought for a while and said: "You are getting married too, and you can't be without an official position. I will ask the emperor to give you an official position."

Leng Xiao refused directly after hearing this, "General, your subordinates only want to stay by your side and serve you. They don't want to be an official. "

Xie Jing chuckled: "You can still work for me as an official. In the military, you are still my right-hand man."

Leng Xiao agreed after hearing this.

Xie Jing did not specifically ask Nan Mianmian, but just went through the motions.

The matter was settled, and the marriage was proposed on the second day of the New Year.

Leng Xiao also began to prepare for the marriage proposal and wedding preparations.

As long as Prince Yu proposes marriage, all the subsequent matters must be prepared intensively.

He has no family, only this group of brothers.

When he told his brothers that he was going to get married, they were all shocked.

"Leng Xiao, you have a target without saying a word, tell the truth, which girl is it?" Leng Yu patted Leng Xiao's shoulder and asked.

Leng Chen also came over and patted Leng Xiao's shoulder with great force, "It's Leng Xiao, tell us quickly, when did it start? "

Leng Xiao looked at the group of brothers in front of him and felt even more embarrassed. "I want to marry Nan Mianmian."

As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the room.

No one thought that Leng Xiao wanted to marry Nan Mianmian, who was the general's third wife before.

But everyone knows that the general and Nan Mianmian did not consummate their marriage.

Shocked as they were, everyone was still happy for Leng Xiao. Nan Mianmian had a bad temper, but she was still very beautiful, and Leng Xiao did not disappoint her.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, brother. When is the wedding?" Leng Yu asked.

Leng Xiao said, "I have to propose first and

then get engaged, and then get married." "Don't worry, brother. I'm here. I promise to give you a lively and lively wedding. "

Yes, yes, it must be lively. Among our brothers, Leng Xiao is the first to get married, so we have to make it lively."

Xue Yi looked at Leng Xiao, shook his head helplessly, smiled and patted his shoulder, "Congratulations, congratulations, and hope you have a son soon."

Leng Xiao was stunned when he heard it, he really had never thought about having a son soon.

"Thank you."

Xue Yi walked out with a smile.

After several twists and turns, he came to where Jiang Qibai lived, and saw a white figure standing in the corridor from a distance. He walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Lu."

Jiang Qibai turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw Xue Yi, his eyebrows slightly curved, "You are here. "

Xue Yi walked to his side and stood still, looking up at the eaves above his head curiously.

Jiang Qibai also looked up at the swallow's nest under the eaves, "I don't know when the swallows built a nest here, I just heard that there seemed to be little swallows." Xue

Yi also saw the bird's nest under the eaves at this time. From this angle, he could see the swallow's scissor-like tail, "So you were looking at the swallows, I thought you had something on your mind."

Hearing this, Jiang Xibai retracted his gaze to Xue Yi and chuckled, "

How could I have any thoughts on my mind." "Really?" Xue Yi retracted his gaze to Jiang Qibai, "Mr. Lu doesn't have any thoughts at all?"

Jiang Qibai looked at Xue Yi's meaningful eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "What do you think I should have on my mind? "

Xue Yi did not answer but said: "Leng Xiao is getting married, and he is marrying Nan Mianmian."

Jiang Qibai naturally knew who Nan Mianmian was. He had been busy with business since he came back, and he just heard about it at this time. He asked in confusion: "Isn't Nan Mianmian Xie Jing's concubine? Why did Leng Xiao marry her?"

Xue Yi knew that Jiang Qibai didn't know, so he told him the whole process in a concise manner.

Jiang Qibai then realized that Xie Jing and Nan Mianmian were divorced. In this case, Xie Jing only had his sister as a woman.

Xie was better off, otherwise it would be his sister who was wronged. Even if he didn't consummate the marriage with other women, it wouldn't work.

"That's good. Xie Jing only has my sister as his wife now. If he dares to bully her in the future, I won't let him go. "

Xue Yi chuckled when he heard that, "You really think about your sister all the time, why don't you think about yourself?"

Jiang Qibai also laughed, "There's no way, I only have such a sister, of course I have to pamper her, besides, I'm a grown man, what is there to think about?"

Xue Yi kindly reminded, "I remember that the madam is the princess of Chenyi Kingdom and the prince's sister, how come she is your sister?"

Jiang Qibai was stunned when he heard that, why did he forget this?

He smiled awkwardly, "It's a long story."

Xue Yi still had a smile on his face, "I know you have hidden a lot of things from me, but I won't ask, you can say it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't."

Jiang Qibai felt even more embarrassed when he heard that. There were indeed many loopholes in his relationship with his sister, it could be said that it was full of loopholes.

Xue Yi had not exposed the truth until now, so he must have been very curious.

However, Jiang Qibai realized later why Xue Yi's tone sounded aggrieved

. It was as if he had not told him many things, and it seemed that he was not sincere.

Jiang Qibai smiled, then shook his head and turned back into the house.

Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone in the mansion is busy.

Jiang Youning is like an idle person, strolling around and picking up some food.

There are many delicious foods on New Year's Eve.

The huge general's mansion was originally a little deserted, but it became lively because of the arrival of New Year's Eve.

Also because Xie Jing survived the disaster, it was necessary to have a good time to get rid of the bad luck.

The mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and it was very lively.

Xie Jing was also idle. He stepped into Lingxi Courtyard and saw Jiang Youning wandering around. He strode over.

"Aning."

Jiang Youning looked over when she heard the voice. Seeing Xie Jing coming over, she smiled and went to greet him.

"Today is New Year's Eve. Why don't you go to my place?"

Jiang Youning thought that New Year's Eve was a very busy day, and Xie Jing should be very busy.

"I have nothing to do, so why can't I come to Lingxi Courtyard?" Xie Jing walked up to her and saw that she was holding a piece of fried meatball in her hand. He had eaten it once and it tasted good.

"I thought you were busy." Jiang Youning said, and put the last bite of meatball in her hand into her mouth and ate it.

Xie Jing said, "The people in the mansion are busy, why should I be busy with these?"

"Okay, let's go in, it's cold outside." Jiang Youning took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, took Xie Jing's arm and walked into the house.

Xie Jing was thinking the same thing, so he followed her in.

The heavy curtain at the door blocked the cold wind outside, and it instantly became much warmer inside.

At dusk, it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Originally, Xie Jing wanted to bring Jiang Youning to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve dinner today, but Xiao Yun took Xie Jing's health into consideration and was afraid that he would get hurt if he drank too much, so he didn't let him in.

The round table was filled with delicious dishes, all made by Chuntao, but it was not difficult with the help of the maids.

Four people sat around the table, Xie Jing, Jiang Youning, Xue Yi, and Jiang Qibai. .

This year, the old lady was not at home for the New Year. Xie Jing was injured and could not go to Luoyang for the New Year, so he could only go there at the beginning of the year.

Jiang Qibai put some vegetables into Jiang Youning's bowl, "Sister, eat more. You have lost a lot of weight this time."

Jiang Youning touched her face when she heard it. She had been eating all the time since she came back. Didn't she gain weight?

"Then I'll eat more."

If there is a reason to eat more, she will not miss it.

Jiang Youning picked up the meat in the bowl and put it into her mouth, eating with relish.

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and looked at her. Her little face was thin and pointed. She had indeed lost a lot of weight. She always felt that something was missing when she held her in his arms.

In order to make it more comfortable for him to hold her, Xie Jing also picked up some meat for her.

Jiang Youning looked at the mountain of meat in the bowl, and she didn't mind eating it all.

Xue Yi looked at Jiang Youning and Jiang Qibai. Only real siblings could be so close and care about their sister.

He vaguely guessed something, but he wanted to get confirmation from Jiang Qibai.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Xue Yi and Jiang Qibai drank some wine, but Xie Jing didn't drink a drop.

Halfway through the meal, everyone was almost full, but Jiang Youning's chopsticks were still constantly picking up food and putting it into her mouth.

Xie Jing saw it and reminded her: "Eat less, you will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much."

"No, lie on the bed after eating, you can get up later tomorrow, and you won't be hungry anymore."

Obviously, Jiang Youning didn't understand Xie Jing's hint.

Xie Jing had to hint again: "Aning, isn't it uncomfortable for you to exercise after eating?"

Jiang Youning laughed, "It's late at night, eat and sleep, who still wants to exercise? Eating and sleeping are the easiest to gain weight. Don't you think I'm too thin? If I gain weight, it will be what you want. Jiang

Youning still didn't understand the hint in Xie Jing's words. Xie Jing had no choice but to whisper a few words in her ear.

Jiang Youning was eating the braised pork elbow when she suddenly heard the word "consummate the marriage". She bit the braised pork elbow and didn't move, because she knew that tonight was the night to hide. I won't go.

It's not that I'm hiding, I'm just a little nervous.

Anyone would be nervous, right?

Xie Jing has been patient for so long, he's already very patient, so let's consummate the marriage, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Youning continued to eat the pork elbow in sauce, and suddenly remembered what Xie Jing had just said, that if you do strenuous exercise, you might risk vomiting if you eat too much.

Thinking of that scene, Jiang Youning didn't dare to eat anymore.

What if he vomited at that time, it would be a big disappointment.

Jiang Qibai looked at the two of them talking to each other, and then whispering to each other. Xie Jing just said He just understood the implication of those two sentences.

His sister and Xie Jing had never slept together. Now that Xie Jing had not died young and had no concubines, it was natural and legitimate for them to sleep together.

Jiang Qibai retracted his gaze. He should be happy for his sister.

Unfortunately, this was ancient times, and his grandfather and father were not here.

He had promised to give his sister a grand wedding and a rich dowry.

Now it could not be fulfilled.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xue Yi and Jiang Qibai had a tacit understanding. They wiped their mouths and left without fighting. Disturbing the time of the two.

The wind was howling outside, and the red lantern under the corridor was swaying from side to side due to the wind.

Xue Yi and Jiang Qibai walked side by side, their pace was consistent, neither fast nor slow, with a sense of strolling.

This was the first time that Jiang Qibai celebrated New Year's Eve in ancient times. There was a sense of novelty, but more of it was missing.

He missed his grandfather and father. Although he often forced him to get married, he really missed them now that they were far away.

Unknowingly, he walked to the door of the room, and Jiang Qibai found that Xue Yi had followed him all the way back. He said, "Aren't you going back to rest?"

Xue Yi looked at him in the light of the lantern above his head, and said word by word, "I want to sleep with you tonight."

Jiang Qibai was stunned for a moment. The two had not slept together since they came back. They had always slept together in Chenyi Country before, so it was nothing.

"Why? Are you used to sleeping with me?" Jiang Qibai joked, but he had already opened the door and let him come in.

After Xue Yi came in, Jiang Qibai closed the door, turned around, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for the two of them.

Xue Yi picked up the teacup in front of him and drank slowly.

Jiang Qibai just drank a little and stopped. He looked up at Xue Yi, "Are you going to stay up tonight?"

Xue Yi did not answer but asked, "What about you?"

Jiang Qibai smiled and said, "I don't have the habit of staying up tonight, but I did play until very late in the past, and I didn't go to bed until after twelve o'clock."

"Then go to bed." Xue Yi got up and walked to the bed and began to undress.

Jiang Qibai looked at Xue Yi's actions. Fortunately, it was not a woman. If it was a woman, he would suspect that she was seducing him.

Jiang Qibai had been used to sleeping since he traveled to ancient times, and he felt a little sleepy now.

He also began to take off his clothes. It didn't take him a while to get into bed.

The bed was much bigger than the bed in the guest inn. The two of them lay side by side and didn't feel crowded at all.

Jiang Qibai closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

He always felt that a hand reached out and pinched his face, and then the feeling of a dragonfly touching the water made him alert immediately.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a face close to him, and they were both stunned.

The lights were bright in Lingxi Courtyard.

After taking a bath, Jiang Youning lay down in the nest waiting for Xie Jing. There was a charcoal fire burning in the room. It was not cold, but not warm either.

But Xie Jing did not come in after waiting for a long time. She leaned on the bed and looked towards the door, "It's strange. Shouldn't he be more active in consummating the marriage tonight? Why did he take such a long bath? Did he fall into the bathtub?"

Xie Jing spent a lot of time to consummate the marriage. He scrubbed his body, used soap, and even washed his hair.

It took him a long time to wipe it with a dry towel, and then he was late for sex.

The door was pushed open again, and steady footsteps were heard.

Good night, babies!
