Chapter 47 Wife, Children, and a Warm Bed

He rubbed twice, and it felt like he was looking for a comfortable sleeping position.

After finding it, the person next to him stopped moving, and his breathing was long and shallow.

Xie Jing looked down at the person next to him, and when he saw that she was not moving, he moved the hand on his chest away, and found that she was not awake, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, when Xie Jing woke up, he found that the hand he had moved away was placed on his waist at some point.

He, who was always alert, didn't notice it.

The night before yesterday, he thought it was because of drinking, but this time he was sure it was not because of drinking.

He had trouble falling asleep, even Wen Xianyu couldn't help, but it was easy to fall asleep when he slept with Jiang Youning.

Is this a coincidence or...

Xie Jing grabbed the hand and gently moved it away. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he got up and put on his clothes.

After dressing neatly, he pulled the curtains, as if he had never been there.

When Jiang Youning woke up, it was already daybreak. She stretched her lazy waist and looked at the empty bed. She had a dream last night. She dreamed that she was hugging an extra-large pillow and it was particularly comfortable to sleep with it in her arms.

Chuntao walked in and saw that Jiang Youning was awake. She walked over with a smile, "I will help the young lady get up."

Jiang Youning said, "Please make me a pillow."

Chuntao answered crisply, "Okay, what kind of pillow do you want?"

"I'll draw a picture for you."

"Okay."

After breakfast, Jiang Youning drew a picture for Chuntao.

Chuntao started to make the pillow.

Jiang Youning took the little rabbit out to bask in the sun. When she saw the hammock under the tree in the yard, her eyes were filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, Yuanbao also moved the hammock here.

She came under the tree and saw that the hammock was covered with a thick blanket. It was very comfortable to sit on it.

The warm winter sun was shining, and her whole body was warm.

Yuanbao came out with a broom and saw Jiang Youning lying on the hammock. He knew that his decision was right.

He walked over and saw the little rabbit in her arms, and looked at her smiling eyes.

"Miss, when you open the shop, do you need to hire assistants? You also need to hire some hairpin girls who can make velvet flowers. It will never be enough for the three of us. The newly hired hairpin girls don't know how to make velvet flowers, so they need to learn. Learning to make velvet flowers is a craft. If someone wants to learn it secretly, you still have to be on guard."

Jiang Youning looked at Yuanbao and felt that what he said made sense. In modern times, the eldest brother said a lot.

However, she found that Yuanbao knew a lot, and he might have been a rich man before he lost his memory.

"Handy, please take care of it. As for the hairpin lady, there is no rush now. I will slowly look for her."

Yuanbao agreed, "Okay."

When Yuanbao turned around to leave, Jiang Youning called him again, "Can you do accounting?"

She originally wanted Chuntao to manage the accounts, but Chuntao had a lot of work every day and could not manage it at all. The accountant needed to be reliable.

"A little." Yuanbao thought for a while and added, "Better than Chuntao."

Jiang Youning said, "Then you will be in charge of the jewelry store's accounts in the future."

Being trusted by Jiang Youning, Yuanbao was overjoyed and agreed very readily, "Okay."

Jiang Youning made velvet samples in her spare time. She was not in a hurry to open a store because her eldest brother said that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Nan Mianmian was so angry that she couldn't even eat breakfast when she thought that the general's wife was Jiang Youning.

Xiuhe walked in from outside and saw that the food on the table was untouched, so she knew that the girl was still angry.

"Miss, the second lady went to the study last night because of the old lady's idea."

Nan Mianmian snorted, "Didn't Du Huilan rely on her acquaintance with the old lady? She couldn't sit still when the general didn't go to her room. How shameless."

Xiuhe smiled and continued, "Miss, don't be angry. The general didn't go to the second lady's room."

Nan Mianmian felt better after hearing that, "I think the general just doesn't like Du Huilan, otherwise why wouldn't he marry her?"

"Have your meal first, and go see Du Huilan after you finish eating."

After eating, Nan Mianmian came to Du Huilan's yard swinging her handkerchief. Before she walked in, she heard a melodious piano sound coming.

"The sound of the piano is so beautiful."

"It is said that the second wife is an excellent piano player. Now I hear that she is indeed worthy of her reputation."

"That's right, the second wife is a talented woman. It is a great honor to hear her play the piano."

The four beauties were sent to the general's mansion by the emperor. Before the three wives entered the mansion, they had carefully inquired about them. They didn't know who the general's wife was, but on the day of the wedding, they learned that she was an adopted daughter of the Jiang family and had a low status.

Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian were of different status.

Du Huilan was the daughter of the general, and the general was his mentor. Du Huilan also knew the general and might be promoted to his wife.

So she came to visit early in the morning to establish a good relationship.

Taking turns praising Du Huilan's piano skills

Du Huilan is a famous talented woman in Jinling, and her piano skills are even better. She shows off her skills whenever she has nothing to do. Isn't it just that she can play the piano?

Nan Mianmian hummed and walked in. She saw four beauties sitting in the room, each of them was very beautiful.

I heard before that the emperor carefully selected a few beauties to give to the general as concubines. Now I see that they are even more beautiful than the rumors.

The general only has this one, so how can he care about so many women vying for her?

Du Huilan was wearing a light green dress, which made her look more gentle and elegant. She just smiled at their compliments.

Seeing Nan Mianmian coming, she smiled gently, "How come the Third Madam has time to come?"

"Of course I came to visit Sister Du. I'm afraid that Sister Du will be sad." Nan Mianmian smiled and sat down.

Hearing this, Du Huilan immediately thought of being rejected by Xie Jing last night. Nan Mianmian was trying to make fun of her, and her face looked a little unhappy.

When Nan Mianmian saw Du Huilan's expression, the unhappiness in her heart also dissipated a lot.

The four people saw Nan Mianmian coming and greeted her in unison.

"At the beginning, there were only four of us sisters, and now there are three more to serve the general. The mansion is also much more lively." Meng Xiyao said with a smile.

"That's right, Madam Second and Madam Third don't know how deserted it was before you came." Xiao Linglong also agreed.

Nan Mianmian looked at the four people in front of her and said with a smile: "Yes, no wonder Sister Du is so lively here."

The four beauties came to curry favor with Madam Second, and they couldn't help feeling guilty when Madam Third said so.

"General, you are newlyweds, why did you come so early? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be neglected and unhappy?"

"If I married such a beautiful wife, I would want to hug my wife every day and would not want to leave the bed."

"Who doesn't want a wife and children to have a warm bed?"

After that, everyone laughed.

The generals in the barracks often get together to tell some jokes to relieve boredom. These are all common things.

Xie Jing has heard these things the most in the past two days, and he didn't explain.

"Send Wen Xianyu to my tent."

"It's the general." Xue Yi took the order and went to call for someone.

Inside the tent

Wen Xianyu came in with a medicine box and saw Xie Jing sitting in front of the desk. He asked hurriedly:

"General, what's wrong?"
