Chapter 82: Husband, your hand-holding posture is wrong, I will teach you

Lin Rushuang felt that with Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian around, Jiang Youning would have a hard time in the general's mansion even if she was the general's wife.

Who made her family far inferior to theirs?

"Ning'er, the general is a military commander. It's hard for you to like him with your appearance, but I can teach you how to keep the general's heart."

Jiang Youning's mouth twitched twice when she heard this. She saw Xie Jing riding a tall horse and coming here. She knew he went to the parade ground early this morning, but she didn't expect to meet him on the street.

She watched Xie Jing jump off the horse swiftly, and only called out to him when he came closer, "Husband." When

Lin Rushuang heard her calling her husband, she didn't react for a moment, until she was shrouded by a shadow, she subconsciously turned around and found that Xie Jing passed by her and walked in front of Jiang Youning.

Everyone knew that Xie Jing was handsome, and even the third place in the imperial examination was nothing compared to him.

It was the first time that Lin Rushuang saw the face of the cavalry general up close, and for a moment she forgot to salute.

Xie Jing walked straight to Jiang Youning and stood still, lowering his eyes to look at her face, which was much rosier than a few days ago.

"What are you doing out in such a cold weather?"

Xie Jing stood tall and straight, and Jiang Youning looked very petite in front of him, even though she had been secretly growing taller recently.

"I came out for a walk. Is my husband done with his work?"

Xie Jing said, "Yes."

Lin Rushuang also reacted at this time and bowed hurriedly, "I, Lin Rushuang, have met the cavalry general."

Xie Jing glanced at Lin Rushuang and then retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Youning again, "Go back first."

Jiang Youning nodded obediently, "Okay."

Xie Jing reached out and grabbed her hand, and found that her hand was a little cold. Needless to say, he knew it was because of the cold wind.

Jiang Youning looked at the hand that was held by Xie Jing in surprise. This was the first time Xie Jing took the initiative to hold her hand, so it was no wonder that she was surprised.

[I suspect this is the first time Xie Jing has held a girl's hand. Look at the way he holds her hand. It's like he's catching a thief. He holds it tightly, as if he's afraid that the other person will run away. Who holds a girl's hand like this?]

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the two people's connected hands. How else to hold it?

Jiang Youning secretly glanced at Xie Jing, [It's really hard for him, a straight man, to play a loving couple. Should I teach him how to hold a girl's hand?]

Xie Jing: "..."

Jiang Youning looked down at the hand being held. She pinched his palm, felt him relax, then pulled it out forcefully, and then held it again, palm against palm.

Xie Jing's hand was not only a little rough and a little hot, but of course it was also very big, the same size as his brother's.

When Xie Jing turned his head to look over, Jiang Youning just raised her head, and their eyes met. The former's eyes paused slightly, and the latter's almond-shaped eyes curved.

"General, this is the correct way to hold a girl's hand."

Xie Jing looked down at the two people's clasped hands. The size was too obvious, and the roughness and delicacy could be seen at a glance.

Precisely because his hands were rough, he could feel Jiang Youning's hands were more delicate and smooth when holding her hand. Just like her, she was petite and soft everywhere.

He took a look and retracted his gaze, holding her hand and walking towards the horse. He didn't walk fast, as if he was matching her pace.

Lin Rushuang, who was ignored, watched Xie Jing leave holding Jiang Youning's hand, her eyes full of surprise, and jealousy.

Jiang Youning is stupid and ignorant, what does Xie Jing like about her?

Xie Jing stopped in front of the horse, let go of her hand, bent down and carried her onto the horse. She was light in weight, so it was not difficult to carry her.

Jiang Youning felt that she was carried onto the horse by Xie Jing in the time it took to catch her breath, which made her once again witness Xie Jing's amazing arm strength.

After Xie Jing made sure that she was sitting firmly, he climbed onto the horse neatly, then untied the black laces at the collar, took off Jiang's blue fox fur and put it on her.

There was a circle of black fox hair at the collar of the fox fur, which was particularly effective in blocking the wind. It had just been taken off Xie Jing's body, and it carried his body temperature and his unique cold fragrance.

Jiang Youning looked down at the two hands in front of her chest, which were neatly tying the laces of the fox fur coat. A closer look revealed that there were slight cuts on his hands, and she didn't know if he was holding a bow and arrow or something else today.

Xie Jing said, "Why didn't you put on the fox fur coat when you came out when you were weak? You didn't even bring a hand warmer?"

Jiang Youning had brought the fox fur coat when she first came out, but when she saw the wonton stand, she ate a big bowl of hot wontons, and she was so hot that she took off the fox fur coat and let Chuntao hold it.

"I will definitely wear it next time I go out."

Xie Jing didn't say anything, holding the reins tightly with one hand and holding her waist with the other to prevent her from falling, and rode back to the general's mansion.

Lin Rushuang watched the two people and the horse walking farther and farther away on the street. If she had known that Jiang Youning ran into Xie Jingdao's arms, she would not have pushed Jiang Youning.

If she had run into Xie Jing's arms, she would have been the general's wife instead of Jiang Youning.

Lin Rushuang retracted her gaze and was about to leave when she saw Jiang Yanran dancing not far away. She walked over with a smile.

"Miss Jiang, it's been a while."

Jiang Yanran raised her head and found it was Lin Rushuang. She chuckled, "It's been a while, indeed. Are you here to buy jewelry, Miss Lin?"

Lin Rushuang glanced at the jewelry on the stall and shook her head, "This jewelry is too roughly made. It's not as delicate as velvet flowers."

Speaking of velvet flowers, Jiang Yanran had always wanted to buy them but didn't know where to buy them. She went to all the jewelry stores but didn't see any velvet flowers.

"I was just planning to buy it, but I don't know where to buy it."

Lin Rushuang heard this and said enthusiastically, "I know where they sell it. It should still be there at this time. I'll take you there now."

Jiang Yanran said, "Then please trouble Miss Lin."

Lin Rushuang took Jiang Yanran to the vicinity of Nishang Pavilion and saw Ah Chun setting up a stall.

She pointed at Ah Chun and said, "Miss Jiang, he is the one who sells velvet hairpins. Simple styles are in stock, and complex styles need to be customized and pre-sold."

Jiang Yanran came to Ah Chun, looked down at the velvet flowers on the stall, saw a pair of small peach blossom hairpins, and asked, "How much are these hairpins?"

Ah Chun was Chun Tao in disguise. When she saw Jiang Yanran and Lin Rushuang, she raised the price without thinking.

"This pair costs one or two silver coins."

Jiang Yanran frowned. Why is it so expensive?

Chuntao smiled and said, "Miss, you have good taste. The peach blossom hairpin is the hottest."

Lin Rushuang also said, "It is indeed very beautiful."

Jiang Yanran was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing them praising it, she also took it readily.

One hand handed over the money and the other hand delivered the goods.

Chuntao happily took a tael of silver. The girl was right. The best way to dislike someone is to take her money.

She smiled and asked, "Recently, many daughters of wealthy families have customized peony velvet hairpins. Do you want to customize one?"

Jiang Yanran had seen the peony hairpin on Du Huilan's temples. It was very delicate and luxurious.

"How much silver does it cost to customize a peony?"

Chuntao said, "Fifty-eight taels."

Jiang Yanran was shocked. Fifty-eight taels is so expensive?
