Chapter 69 Afraid that she would regret
it She walked over and sat down at the table with a smile, "General, didn't you go out today?"
Xie Jing nodded, "Well, the wheat is almost planted."
Jiang Youning picked up a meat bun and put it in her mouth and took a bite, puffing her cheeks and helping, "General, you have been busy for so long, it's time to take a good rest, health is the most important."
Xie Jing stared at her eating for a while and said, "Your method last night was very good."
Hearing this, Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Xie Jing, her eyes fell on his lips. His lips were neither thin nor thick, but very three-dimensional. Last night, I found that his lip shape was very beautiful.
"Of course, the generals should remember to drink water frequently, so that their lips won't be dry."
Xie Jing said, "I can't guarantee that on the battlefield."
On the battlefield, they were so eager to kill that they didn't have time to drink water.
Jiang Youning paused while chewing, and thought of Xie Jing's temper, feeling helpless, "Then you should try to drink more water."
Xie Jing: "Yeah."
Jiang Youning thought of Xie Jing's untimely death, sighed, and lowered her head to continue eating buns.
[He was so young, it's a pity. ]
Xie Jing knew that she sighed too much, and he would die young.
After being busy for a long time, after making sure that the wheat was fine, they began to go home.
The day before the departure, Wen Xianyu suggested, "General, it would be better for Madam to take a carriage back."
It was urgent when they came here, and now that things have been settled, there is no rush to go back. Taking a carriage can only delay the departure by two days.
Xie Jing ordered, "Leng Xiao, prepare the carriage."
"As you command." Leng Xiao went to prepare the carriage.
Jiang Youning was eating the peach cake prepared by the maid. She heard footsteps and looked up at the door. She saw Xie Jing's tall figure walking in.
She stood up and greeted him, "General, you are back."
Xie Jing lowered his eyes and saw that there were cake crumbs on the corners of her mouth. As she spoke, some of them fell off.
He raised his hand without thinking and wiped the crumbs off the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Youning was stunned, she lowered her eyes and saw that hand. She had been busy planting wheat these days. When it touched the corner of her mouth, she could clearly feel that the fingers were rough and peeling.
She raised her head and looked at Xie Jing. His eyes were dark, just like the night outside the window.
It is undeniable that she felt warm.
Xie Jing withdrew his hand, as if he had never done this before.
"We will go back to Jinling tomorrow."
Jiang Youning raised her eyebrows happily, "Okay, I've been away for a while, and I miss the meat buns made by Chuntao."
Xie Jing thought of the first time he met her when he heard it. She suddenly ran into his arms, holding a meat bun in her hand, and the soup splashed all over him.
How much does she like eating meat buns?
In the evening, Liu Bingcheng prepared some light wine for Xie Jing to enjoy.
Jiang Youning went along with them.
After the disaster relief food was distributed, the victims were settled, and everyone was relieved to eat this meal.
It was also because of Xie Jing that the matter was resolved so quickly, which made everyone admire him very much.
Xie Jing turned his head to look at Jiang Youning, and saw that she was gnawing on a chicken leg with relish.
Chicken legs are what she eats the most recently.
She doesn't care about the conversation at the wine table.
The next morning, at the gate of the prefect's mansion.
Prefect Liu Bingcheng and a group of officials came to see them off.
Jiang Youning followed Xie Jing obediently until she saw the carriage and was a little confused. Wasn't Xie Jing going to ride back?
She stepped on the horse stool with doubts and got on the carriage.
Xie Jing followed behind and got on the carriage.
Xiao Yu had learned his lesson. Where Xie Jing was, there was no place for him, so he didn't plan to squeeze into the carriage.
He turned around and got on the horse neatly, side by side with Chu Qing. When he looked at Chu Qing with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, he bent his head and said, "Ah Qing, did you sleep well last night?"
Chu Qing raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, and found that his peach blossom eyes were always smiling, as if he had nothing to worry about.
On second thought, he was a prince, and he was raised to be spoiled since childhood, so he really had nothing to worry about.
"I slept well."
Xiao Yu chuckled, knowing that he was lying, but did not expose him.
"I slept well, too."
Chu Qing: "..."
The girls that Jiang Youning bought also went back with her in the carriage. Xue Yi was in charge of all this, so she didn't have to worry about it.
Although riding in a carriage is bumpy, it is better than riding a horse.
The carriage is padded with thick cushions, and it is soft and comfortable to sit on.
Jiang Youning opened the curtain and looked outside, and found that the street was full of people, all of whom came to see him off.
"General, many people are here to see you off."
Xie Jing raised his eyes and looked through the corner of the curtain she had opened, and saw the street full of people. There was no wave of surprise in his dark eyes, perhaps he was used to seeing people off like this.
Jiang Youning lowered the curtain and looked back at Xie Jing. He sat upright, his dark eyes staring at her without blinking, not noticing anything wrong.
She looked back uncomfortably, took out the oil paper bag from her pocket, opened it and found four pieces of peach cake inside.
She handed the peach cake to Xie Jing and asked softly, "General, do you want to eat?"
Xie Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the peach cake in her hand. He took a piece and took a bite without being polite. He found that it was not as delicious as last time.
Jiang Youning took a piece and took a bite. Snacks are essential when taking a long-distance bus.
Xie Jing ate one piece and stopped eating. He saw Jiang Youning eating peach cake and osmanthus cake, then eating melon seeds. Her mouth never stopped.
He suddenly asked, "Have you thought about the future?"
Jiang Youning was confused, "What future?"
Xie Jing knew she hadn't thought about the future by looking at her. "You only eat and eat."
Jiang Youning said confidently, "Food is the first thing for people. Why do we have mouths? Of course, it's for eating."
Xie Jing did not comment.
Jiang Youning ate melon seeds for a while and then stopped because the more she ate, the thirstier she became. The shaking of the carriage made her a little sleepy.
Xie Jing kept looking at her. When he saw her eyelids fighting and her head pecking at rice, he knew that she was sleepy.
He got up and sat next to Jiang Youning. Not long after he sat down, his shoulders sank. He lowered his eyes and saw her leaning on his shoulders.
Jiang Youning was very sleepy. With her head propped up, she fell asleep immediately.
Xie Jing sat upright, looking at the sleeping person from time to time. He didn't know if he would regret it more than a year later when he divorced her and she had to face the world alone with the house and money.
Women are different from men. It is not difficult for men to get divorced and remarry, but it is not so easy for women.
She doesn't like men now because she is young, but what if she grows up?
The carriage suddenly shook violently, Jiang Youning's center of gravity was unstable, and her body slid down. She was about to fall, but Xie Jing quickly grabbed her into his arms.
Jiang Youning was also awakened by the violent shaking, and she saw Xie Jing's dark eyes looking at her.
Later she realized that she was in Xie Jing's arms.
She smiled, "The carriage is a bit bumpy."
[Fortunately, Xie Jing is here, otherwise she would definitely fall to the ground. ]
She grabbed Xie Jing's arm to use the force to sit up, but was stopped by Xie Jing.
