Chapter 37 Wedding Gift

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Youning glanced at the food in front of her, thinking that she should eat her fill first.

At least eat until she is full.

She picked up the chopsticks, reached into the dish, picked up a meatball, put it in her mouth and took a bite, her eyebrows curved.

She has eaten a lot of meatballs recently, even if the chopsticks are not good, she can still pick them up accurately.

Xiao Yun raised the wine glass, but his eyes fell on Jiang Youning, watching her finish a meatball in two bites, eating with relish.

The women in the palace would never eat meatballs like this, nor would they eat them so deliciously.

When he is around, women's attention will be on him, not like her, who focuses all her attention on eating.

Xiao Yun had no appetite, but he ended up eating two bowls of rice, mainly because the person opposite him was eating so deliciously.

After Jiang Youning had eaten and drunk her fill, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, secretly glanced at Xiao Yun, and saw that he was drinking tea.

Xiao Yun, like his grandfather, liked to drink tea after dinner.

At this time, Wei Chen walked in and presented the house deed in his hands with both hands, "Master, it's ready."

Xiao Yun glanced at the house deed and said, "Give it to her."

"Yes, master." Wei Chen came to Jiang Youning with the house deed and presented it with both hands, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Youning took it curiously, and after a careful look, she found that it was a house deed, and it was the one she wanted to rent just now.

She looked at Xiao Yun in confusion, "Your Majesty, this is the title deed."

Xiao Yun chuckled, "Well, you are getting married soon, this is a wedding gift from me."

Jiang Youning widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous, "Is this for a commoner girl?"

The prosperous streets and shops in Jinling are very expensive, and that's why she wants to rent instead of buy.

Xiao Yun nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Youning got a positive answer, her almond eyes curved, and she was still a little touched by Jing. It was rumored that the emperor doted on Xie Jing very much.

If it weren't for Xie Jing, the emperor would not have noticed her, a small commoner.

She immediately stood up and knelt to thank En. It was a subconscious action because she had watched too many TV dramas.

When she went back, she took Xiao Yun's carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Youning took the title deed and walked back happily.

Through the gap in the curtain, Xiao Yun saw Jiang Youning's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a beautiful arc.

If I had met him earlier...

* When

Jiang Youning returned to her residence, Chuntao came up to her with a worried look on her face, "Miss, the emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, we just had dinner together." Jiang Youning happily raised the house deed in her hand, "It's a wedding gift from the emperor."

Chuntao took it and looked at it curiously, and almost jumped up in excitement, "Isn't this the shop we just saw today? We don't have to pay rent, that's great."

"Yes, it needs to be redecorated." Jiang Youning looked at Yuanbao, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, miss, I will definitely get it done."

Jiang Youning said, "I'll draw the drawings, and you can follow the drawings to save the shop."

Yuanbao agreed one by one.

Du Mansion

Du Huilan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I won't regret it, I want to marry the general."

The general and the loyal general and their families persuaded her at the same time, but Du Huilan still insisted on marrying, which gave them a headache.

The general asked: "Lan'er, do you really not regret it?"

Du Huilan said firmly, "No regrets, I regret not marrying the general."

The general sighed, "Alas! Since you are so determined, I will enter the palace again."

At this time, the Nan Mansion faced the same situation.

"Grandpa, I just want to marry the general, and I will marry him too."

Two years ago, when Xie Jing returned victorious and rode through the street, Nan Mianmian fell in love with him at first sight.

The Grand Tutor was so angry, "How can you be a concubine?"

Nan Mianmian wiped her tears, "Grandpa, I want to marry the general, and I am willing to be his concubine."

The Grand Tutor sighed, "Don't you regret it?"

Nan Mianmian raised her chin and said, "No regrets."

"Then I will go to the palace again, a girl can't be kept when she grows up!" The Grand Tutor looked helpless.

At the door of the study, the general and the Grand Tutor looked at each other, and both shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

Xiao Yun was also surprised to see them coming again.

Xie Jing has made it so clear, and she still wants to marry?

The general and the Grand Tutor knelt down at the same time to ask for permission to grant the marriage.

Xiao Yun had no choice but to agree.

"Go and call Xie Jing over."

"Yes." Eunuch Li withdrew.

Not long after, Xie Jing arrived.

Xiao Yun said, "Just now, the general and the tutor came to ask for a marriage, and I agreed. The tutor is my mentor, and this is the first time he asked me for a marriage, and he only wants me to be his concubine. I couldn't bear to refuse."

This time, Xie Jing could be said to have felt the same way, because the general asked him, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

Since they are not afraid of regret, there is no point in saying more.

"Your Majesty knows that I don't like it."

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. This is indeed like Xie Jing's style. No wonder he refused to marry the princess again and again.

Knowing Xie Jing for so many years, how could he care about women?

If it weren't for the sudden engagement, he would have suspected that Xie Jing didn't like women and was only thinking about how to destroy the Huns.

Xie Jing would not spend energy on women.

Although he was happy to have a good military general, so that he did not have to worry about the future.

However, with such excellent genes, it would be unfair to him if he did not give birth to several sons!

You don't have to like your wife or concubine, it's the same as soon as you close your eyes.

"Xie Jing, don't ignore them."

Xie Jing said bluntly: "This is their own choice."

If you choose the path yourself, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun stood up and walked to Xie Jing's side, patting his shoulder soothingly, "Xie Jing, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why are you still as chaste as a virgin?"

Xie Jing said, "I'm not interested."

Xiao Yun: "..."

*

Yuan Bao was very fast and had already found a carpenter to start decorating according to her drawings.

Jiang Youning has been making velvet flower samples these days and is taking a break to eat cakes.

Chun Tao hurried in and whispered, "Miss, the master is here and he looks very unhappy."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xubai walked in and questioned Jiang Youning when he saw her.

"If you had begged General Xie kindly, Yanran would have been able to marry into the General's mansion. I've raised you for so many years, and you can't even do this little thing?"

Jiang Youning said, "Dad, it's not up to me to decide who the General wants to marry. Mother saw it that day."

"Then why did General Xie marry Miss Du and Miss Nan? Marrying one more is also marrying."

The Du and Nan families were already arranging the marriage, and Jinling knew about it.

Jiang Xubai came to question after finding out.

Jiang Youning was confused, "I didn't know the General was going to marry them."

Jiang Xubai snorted coldly, "Are you still playing dumb? How dare you say you didn't know?"

Xie Jing heard Jiang Xubai's questioning when he came, and he strode in.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang has many opinions about this general, and he has come here to make trouble."
