Chapter 35: Want a Big Bed
When Jiang Yanran also looked at He, her eyes were filled with unconcealed expectations.
He took a sip of tea, "Ning'er couldn't make the decision, and General Xie happened to come, so she asked the general if she could marry Yanran." Jiang
Xubai pressed on, "Did General Xie agree?"
He shook her head, "He didn't agree, and he got really angry. I guess he thought our Jiang family was too greedy, and wanted to marry our two daughters into the general's mansion."
The hope in Jiang Xubai's eyes was replaced by anger and reluctance, "Ning'er isn't a daughter of the Jiang family."
Jiang Yanran pursed her lips, unwilling to marry someone she fell in love with at first sight, and would rather marry Jiang Youning than her.
He sighed, "Yanran is talented and beautiful, she won't
have trouble finding a husband." Jiang Xubai was indignant, "If Yanran hadn't been living away from home since she was a child, it would have been Yanran who would have married Xie Jing, not her. She's a swindler."

The marriage was arranged by Xue Yi, so Xie Jing didn't have to worry about it.
However, Xue Yi would often come to ask Jiang Youning for her opinion.
For example, today, Xue Yi came running over early in the morning, always with a faint smile on his face.
"The embroiderers of the wedding dress are already rushing to make it, and it should be ready before the wedding. What kind of bed does Miss Jiang like? Huanghuali or mahogany?"
Jiang Youning paused while eating a meat bun. Preparing a bed? All she could think of were scenes that were not suitable for children.
It's not her fault. There is yellow waste in her mind and she can't control it.
She was a little confused, "Is there no bed in the general's mansion? Why don't you ask the general?"
Xue Yi said, "Of course there is a bed, but you still have to use a brand new one for the wedding, and the general doesn't have time to take care of these things."
Jiang Youning couldn't help gossiping, "Is it because another woman has slept in the general's bed?"
Xue Yi chuckled, "Miss Jiang, don't think too much. Although there are concubines in the general's mansion, they were forced by the emperor. The general has never favored them."
He knew that Xie Jing would not tell Jiang Youning these things, so he kindly explained a few words for him.
Jiang Youning was a little embarrassed, "I didn't think much about it, I just asked casually."
But she felt sorry for Xie Jing in her heart. He was so handsome and had a good figure, so his ability in that aspect must be good.
As a result, he got injured before he could put his skills to good use.
What a pity!
"Huanghuali, it should be bigger and more comfortable to sleep on." Grandpa has a big Huanghuali bed, which is said to be an antique, and two people can roll around on it without any problem.
Xue Yi raised his folding fan to hide his smile, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, the bed is very big."
"Then I'll trouble Master Xue."
She didn't know whether the fake couple would sleep in the same bed after marriage.
Although Xie Jing was injured and unable to have sex, it would still affect her sleep and sleeping posture. If the bed is big, they don't have to sleep together.
Xue Yi left with a smile.
Jiang Youning found that Xue Yi was very happy even though she and Xie Jing were getting married. Look, he just smiled again.
When Xue Yi returned to the general's residence, Xie Jing just came back from outside. He greeted him with a smile, "Master."
Xie Jing glanced at Xue Yi and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "What are you so happy about?"
Xue Yi couldn't help laughing when he thought of the bed, "Master, I just came back from Miss Jiang and asked her what material the bed was made of."
Xie Jing's eyes paused, "What did she say?"
"Miss Jiang said she wanted a large Huanghuali bed." Xue Yi deliberately emphasized the word "large bed".
Xie Jing understood the key point of Xue Yi's words as soon as he heard it. A large Huanghuali bed, I wonder what she is thinking about?
Xue Yi still had a smile on his lips. Looking at Xie Jing's expressionless face, he thought, [Fortunately, Miss Jiang and I explained it clearly, otherwise, there would be misunderstandings between you. With your personality, you will definitely not take the initiative to explain.]
"..." Xie Jing looked at him coldly, what did you explain to Jiang Youning?
"Did you talk about anything else?"
Xue Yi shook his head, "Nothing, Miss Jiang is very easy to talk to."
Xie Jing's dark eyes stared at Xue Yi, with an invisible sense of oppression that made people afraid.
Xue Yi couldn't bear it a little, so he had to ask Jiang Youning's curious question.
"I explained it, Miss Jiang didn't misunderstand."
Xie Jing: "..."

Chuntao prepared more meals than usual these days, and pushed the ingots to the street to sell, and they were sold out soon.
Since Yuanbao started wearing new clothes and tying up his long hair, he has attracted many young ladies who are waiting to be married.
Even if the delicate young lady in waiting does not eat food from outside, she will try it. After eating it once, she will want to eat it for the second and third time...
Chuntao was holding a notebook. Yuanbao passed by and glanced at it, shaking his head, "Do you recognize your handwriting?"
Chuntao raised her head and glanced at Yuanbao, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Yuanbao asked again, "Miss, do you recognize it?"
Chuntao stared at her own handwriting for a long time, a little uncertain, "I should recognize it."
Just then she saw Jiang Youning coming over, Chuntao held up the account book to show her, "Miss, do you recognize this handwriting?"
Jiang Youning glanced at it, "Do you recognize it?"
Chuntao said, "Of course I recognize it because I wrote it myself."
"That's good." Jiang Youning picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea.
Chuntao's handwriting is like that of a second-grade student, but she has made great progress. After writing for a while, she can recognize it.
Hearing this, Chuntao became more and more motivated to write.
Yuanbao couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to learn how to make velvet flowers.
Jiang Youning taught him personally, starting with combing the hair.
Although Yuanbao is a man, he is very smart and patient, and now he has learned how to trim.
The news that Xie Jing has a fiancée had spread in Jinling a long time ago, and the heart of the daughter of a wealthy family was broken.
After Du Huilan learned about it, she cried, made a fuss, and even hanged herself, wanting to marry Xie Jing.
Seeing his daughter so sad, General Zhongwu had no choice but to go to the emperor with his father.
Nan Mianmian also started to fast. The Grand Tutor felt sorry for his granddaughter and brought his son into the palace.
In the study, Xiao Yun looked at the four people in front of the dragon case, namely the Grand Tutor, the Minister, the General, and the Loyal General.
They came for the same purpose, all to arrange marriages for their daughters (granddaughters).
The marriage partners were all Xie Jing.
The four grown men cried and knelt, and Xiao Yun had a headache.
"The princess wants to marry me but I can't, what should you do with me?"
The four looked at each other, thought of their daughters (granddaughters) at home, and continued to ask for arranged marriages.
The Grand Tutor was his mentor, and he was old.
The General was also old.
Xiao Yun had no choice but to order: "Eunuch Li, go and call Xie Jing over."
"Yes." Eunuch Li withdrew.
Xie Jing was in the parade ground at this time, and Eunuch Li found him quickly.
On the way to Yu's study, Eunuch Li reminded him: "General, the emperor is in a difficult situation this time. You must be in a difficult situation too. Marrying one is the same as marrying three. It's better to marry them all. Anyway, you will have to marry them in the future."
Xie Jing didn't believe it at first. When he walked into Yu's study and saw the four people inside, he realized that the difficulty in Eunuch Li's mouth was really difficult.
