Chapter 8 Miss Xie Jing?
Xie Jing thought of what Jiang Youning was thinking before he left, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
He was wounded countless times on the battlefield, but as long as the vital parts and bones were not injured, it was not considered a serious injury.
Jiang Youning also said that he would not live past the age of 24, could it be true?
And all this originated from a dream of hers.
Seeing Xie Jing lowered his eyes and remained silent, Xue Yi asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong?"
Xie Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Yi, then looked at Wen Xianyu, "Do you think I'm in good health?"
Wen Xianyu was stunned for a moment when he heard that, "General, are you worried that your injury will delay your trip?"
Xie Jing: "No."
Xue Yi looked Xie Jing up and down and had a bad feeling, "Master, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"No." Xie Jing pondered for a moment, thinking of the words "die young", he said, "Check my body carefully, is there any hidden illness?"
Wen Xianyu heard that, without hesitation, and put two fingers on Xie Jing's pulse.
After the examination, he took back his hand and looked up at Xie Jing, "General, your body is fine except for fatigue."
Xie Jing pursed his lips tightly. He had no hidden illness. His early death was not due to physical reasons. Could it be that he died on the battlefield?
From the moment he joined the army, he knew that swords and knives on the battlefield were blind, and he had long been indifferent to life and death.
But the Huns were not destroyed, so how could he be willing?
Seeing that Xie Jing was silent, Wen Xianyu suggested: "If the general is worried, wait until you return to Jinling and let Doctor Yu take a look."
Xie Jing shook his head: "I am not questioning your medical skills."
Wen Xianyu thought about it and it was true. He treated Xie Jing's injuries, big and small, and never questioned his medical skills.
"The general is in good health, which is unmatched by ordinary people. However, even the strongest body cannot be overworked."
Xie Jing hummed thoughtfully.
After coming out, Wen Xianyu sighed, "I don't know if the general has listened to me."
Xue Yi was also a little worried, "Don't you know what kind of person the general is? No one can persuade him."
Wen Xianyu smiled and said, "Isn't the general engaged? When he gets married, a woman will take care of him."
Xue Yi thought of the delicate girl and laughed, "How can a delicate woman take care of the general?"
Wen Xianyu nodded in agreement, "That's right, the general's temper is really beyond the control of ordinary people."

Jiang Youning took a bite of peach cake and sighed.
Chuntao looked over when she heard the sound, "Why are you sighing, young lady?"
Jiang Youning said, "Maybe you miss the general too much!"
Chuntao laughed when she heard the words, "Why can't you be more reserved, young lady?"
Jiang Youning was eating peach cakes. She really wanted Xie Jing to break off the engagement. With money and a house, she could have no worries about food and clothing.
The Su embroidery thread for making velvet flowers was used up, and Jiang Youning planned to go to the street to buy some.
Before she reached the door, she heard a burst of laughter.
Jiang Youning paused and looked over. She saw Jiang Xubai and Jiang Yanran coming back from outside, talking and laughing with them. They were carrying a lot of things in their hands. They must have just come back from shopping.
Chuntao saw the heartwarming scene in front of her and subconsciously raised her head to look at Jiang Youning. Since Jiang Yanran came back, the old man has taken her to the street to buy clothes and jewelry more than once.
Before, when he didn't know that the girl was not his biological daughter, he didn't see the old man taking the girl to the street to buy this and that. The
girl must be sad.
During the conversation, Jiang Yanran first saw Jiang Youning not far away, and she called out warmly: "Sister Ning'er."
Jiang Youning originally wanted to pretend to be invisible and reduce her presence, but Jiang Yanran called out that she was seen.
Jiang Yanran came over and raised her wrist to show Jiang Youning, smiling innocently: "Sister Ning'er, this is the bracelet my father bought for me. Does it look good?"
The moment she raised her hand, her sleeves slipped down, revealing a fair and slender wrist with a pure gold bracelet on it.
Jiang Youning's eyes were quickly attracted by the gold bracelet. She didn't pay attention to whether it looked good or not. The bracelet looked quite heavy.
Jiang Yanran saw Jiang Youning's gaze and smiled and said: "Sister Ning'er, do you like it too?"
Jiang Youning nodded. A pure gold bracelet was enough for her to buy so many sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and jujube paste cakes...
When Jiang Xubai came over, he saw Jiang Youning staring at the gold bracelet on Yanran's hand. He didn't think there was anything wrong with buying a bracelet for his own daughter.
His daughter is well-educated and well-mannered, so she should dress up well.
If she is favored by General Xie, she can marry into the general's mansion, which is also a matter of honor.
Jiang Youning earned some money during this period. After buying things, she took Chuntao to the famous Fujianglou, intending to reward her stomach.
The waiter of Fujianglou was very enthusiastic and took Jiang Youning to the private room.
Jiang Youning ordered the braised pork, braised pork elbow, fish fillet, and old hen soup that she wanted to eat.
The restaurant served dishes very quickly, and the dishes were ready in a short while.
Jiang Youning's mouth was watering at the aroma. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, saying, "Chuntao, sit down and eat together."
Chuntao said, "Miss, how can a servant eat at the same table with the master?"
"You have worked hard to make hairpins late at night. Only when you are full can you have the strength to make more hairpins and earn more money. Besides, there are no outsiders here, so we can eat to our heart's content."
Chuntao knew that she could make money by making velvet hairpins, so she stayed up late every day to make velvet flowers just to earn more money.
If Jiang Youning hadn't gotten up at night, she wouldn't have known that Chuntao worked so hard.
Chuntao felt that what Jiang Youning said made sense, and after hesitating for a long time, she sat down to eat together.
That night, Chuntao worked late again, just to make two more pairs of hairpins.
The next morning ,
"Miss, wake up."
Jiang Youning was sleeping soundly, and was woken up by Chuntao. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, the master wants you to come over for something."
Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, and was forced to get up and dress. She went to the main hall without even having breakfast.
"I have never received such an expensive gift, and it was given by my father. I was very happy. I was afraid that it would be damaged when I wore it on my hand, so I thought of putting it in a dressing box and keeping it carefully. I didn't expect..."
Jiang Youning just approached the main hall and heard Jiang Yanran's soft crying voice, which made people's hearts break.
Jiang Xubai was so distressed, "Yanran has suffered so much since she was a child, and she is so sensible. Don't worry, Dad will help you find the bracelet and take you to buy another one tomorrow."
It is said that crying children get milk, but in fact, not everyone who cries gets milk.
For example, no matter how much the original owner cried, Jiang Xubai did not buy her a big gold bracelet.
Jiang Youning walked in holding up her skirt. Jiang Yanran was still crying there. She stepped forward to greet
him, "Dad, what's the matter with calling me here?" Jiang Xubai withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yanran and looked at Jiang Youning, "Yesterday afternoon, someone saw you enter Yanran's room. Did you see Yanran's bracelet?"
