Chapter 96: The Surprise of the General's Attentiveness

Jiang Youning looked down at the things Xie Jing stuffed into her hands. They were a bit heavy and were wrapped in a plain handkerchief. With outsiders around, she planned to wait until they left before opening them.

She looked up at Xie Jing, her almond eyes curved, "My husband is so busy every day, but he still remembers to bring me gifts. I'm very happy."

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and looked at her. Seeing her smile so happily, she must be happy, which made him think this method was good.

Jiang Yanran and Lin Rushuang saw Xie Jing coming back, and they hurriedly tidied up their appearance and held up their hairpins, fearing that Xie Jing would see them in such an ugly scene.

[I came at the right time today to see the general. Fortunately, I had foresight and wore the newly bought velvet hairpin. So what if Jiang Youning is the general's wife? Next year, I can't even wear a velvet hairpin, and I won't even have a gold bracelet on my hand.]

[Fortunately, I dressed up carefully before going out, so that the general can see my most beautiful side.]

Xie Jing looked at Jiang Youning's wrist. The sleeves were very long, covering her slender wrist. Even if he couldn't see it, he knew that there was nothing on her white wrist.

She didn't wear the gold bracelet he bought last time, nor did she wear the whole set of jewelry given by the emperor.

She loves money, but not glory.

After tidying up their appearance, they all bowed to him, "General."

Xie Jing sat down in front of the couch, glanced at Jiang Yanran and Lin Rushuang, then looked at Jiang Youning, "You have a good relationship with them?"

Jiang Youning looked at the two people standing not far away and shook her head, "The relationship is not very good."

Hearing this, Lin Rushuang looked at Jiang Youning in disbelief, "Ning'er, we are close friends who have known each other for many years. How can we say that our relationship is not good?"

Jiang Yanran also said, "Ning " Sister Er, although we are not blood sisters, we are better than blood sisters. How can our relationship be bad?"

Jiang Youning looked at the two of them with a sincere look on their faces. Her eyes fell on the hairpins on Lin Rushuang's temples and said, "The hairpins on your temples are very beautiful. We have such a good relationship, so give them to me."

Lin Rushuang turned her head away subconsciously, trying to block Jiang Youning's gaze. She spent a lot of money to buy this hairpin by saving money, and she wore it on purpose to show off.

She smiled awkwardly, "Ning'er, this hairpin is not a good thing. You are a general's wife now. Such small things are not worthy of your status."

Jiang Youning imitated Lin Rushuang's tone and said, "You said we have a good relationship, but I can't bear to part with a hairpin."

Lin Rushuang hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's just..."

Jiang Youning didn't listen to Lin Rushuang's explanation, but looked at Jiang Yanran, "Jiang Yanran."

Jiang Yanran thought Jiang Youning also wanted something from her, so she subconsciously covered her sleeves to hide the gold bracelet, and glanced to the side, afraid to block the velvet hairpin. She hoped that Jiang Youning would see it before, but now she hoped that she couldn't see it.

"Sister Ning'er."

Jiang Youning saw her actions and said with a smile, "I have known you for a short time, and we are just nodding acquaintances."

Jiang Yanran's face was a little embarrassed when she heard this. [Jiang Youning didn't care about her face at all and deliberately wanted to embarrass her.]

Lin Rushuang and Jiang Yanran left with anger and dissatisfaction.

After the people left, Xie Jing felt a lot calmer. The bad thing about mind reading is that it is too noisy, especially when people have messy thoughts in their hearts.

Jiang Youning still held the gift Xie Jing gave her in her hand. She smiled and looked at Xie Jing, "General, how do you feel about wearing a mask?"

When mentioning the mask, Xie Jing was misunderstood by his subordinates.

For example, when he was riding a horse, he wore a mask. His subordinates thought he was going to do something, so they all took out their face towels and put them on, and asked him if he was going to conduct a night raid.

"The mask is very effective in keeping out the cold." Riding a horse against the wind, his face does not feel any pain.

Jiang Youning smiled when she heard this, "Two masks, the general can wear them alternately, I'll ask Chuntao to make two more for you."

Xie Jing: "Yes."

He looked at the gift in Jiang Youning's hand that had not been opened yet: "Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

Jiang Youning looked down at the gift in her hand, smiled and took it to the coffee table, "Then I'll open it and take a look, the general prepared a surprise for me."

She looked down at the packaging, and her slender fingers slowly opened the outer layer of cloth. Inside was a brown-red box. After opening the lid, a gold bracelet came into view, which was thicker than the last time, and was inlaid with three rubies.

[This will cost a lot of silver, right? 】

Xie Jing asked: "Do you like it?"

Jiang Youning raised her delicate little face and smiled, "Of course I like it if it's a gift from the general."

Seeing that she liked it, Xie Jing was more certain that the gift he chose was the right one.

Jiang Youning thought Xie Jing just suddenly felt like giving her a gift.

But, Xie Jing gave her gifts every now and then... which made her very happy, hehe!

Today, Xie Jing came back and brought her a gift as usual.

She unwrapped it, opened the box inside, and found a pair of earrings.

【Pearl flowers, hairpins, hairpins, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, is Xie Jing planning to buy everything from head to toe? 】

Xie Jing asked: "Don't you like it?"

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I like it."

Xie Jing looked down at Jiang Youning playing with the ruby ​​earrings.

Jiang Youning put all the gold and silver jewelry Xie Jing gave her into a large wooden box. These all belonged to her property.

Xie Jing would go to the jewelry store for a walk before returning every time. He had given almost all the gifts he could give, and he found that he didn't know what to give.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "General, do you want to buy jewelry for your wife?"

Xie Jing nodded, "Do you have any particularly exquisite jewelry?"

When the general came a few days ago, the shopkeeper took out the best jewelry in the store. The general would not look down on it if it was not good.

"General, how about a bracelet?"

Xie Jing said, "I've given bracelets before, nothing new."

Two bracelets have already been given, where should I send them to wear?

The shopkeeper was a little confused.

Xie Jing looked at the delicate bracelets, thinking.

It took half a month for Sui Sui Ruyi to complete all the orders that had been accumulated before.

But there were a lot of new orders.

The Chinese New Year is only ten days away, and everyone wants to wear beautiful velvet flowers to celebrate the New Year.

The hairpin ladies have also started working overtime these days, and it was they who asked to work overtime.

Jiang Youning never thought about working overtime.

"Madam treats us so well, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Madam is going to give us a ten-day annual leave. We will feel bad if we don't work overtime."

Xinghua said, and the other hairpin ladies followed suit.

What can Jiang Youning do? Of course she agreed.

"Then work overtime. I will give you red envelopes on New Year's Eve as a year-end reward."

The hairpin ladies were surprised and delighted to hear about the red envelopes.

"Thank you, Madam."

Xie Jing has been going out early and returning late these days, and she is exhausted when she comes back at night.

High-intensity training every day is unbearable for even an iron man.

Take a bath every day to relieve fatigue.

Jiang Youning just finished bathing and walked to the bed to sit down. When she put on her slippers, she saw that her toenails had grown long. She found a pair of scissors, stepped on the bed, and began to trim her nails.

This is what Xie Jing saw when he came.
