Chapter 98 Because she is your wife, the old jealousy came out.

The shopkeeper said, bending down to open the drawer, took out the box inside, and handed it to Xie Jing with both hands.

"General, please take a look."

Xie Jing took the box with one hand, then opened it, saw the things inside, looked at it carefully for a while, and then closed it.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked: "General, are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied." Xie Jing put the box into his sleeve pocket and paid the rest of the money.

The shopkeeper watched Xie Jing walk out with his tall figure, and sighed in his heart. The general really doted on his wife and racked his brains to give her a gift.

-

Jiang Youning sent the old lady away, and the housekeeper came with a list of New Year's goods.

"Madam, the New Year's goods have been prepared, please take a look."

It was the first time for Jiang Youning to celebrate the New Year in ancient times. She was a little curious about what the ancient New Year's goods were.

She took the list and glanced at it. It was a long list that dazzled her.

She was not as clear about ancient customs as you, so naturally she didn't understand the demand for New Year's goods.

In her eyes, the most important thing about New Year's goods is to prepare snacks and delicious drinks.

Jiang Youning looked up at the housekeeper and said, "Just follow the previous years. I trust the housekeeper to do things."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Then Madam, you are busy first, and I will go to check the New Year's goods."

After the housekeeper left, Jiang Youning picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of hot tea, and continued to eat the cakes that she had not finished.

In two days, it will be New Year's Eve, and she has begun to look forward to the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xie Jing opened the curtain and came in. He saw Jiang Youning leaning on the couch, crossing his legs and eating cakes leisurely. He

looked like a carefree child.

When Xie Jing came in, Jiang Youning saw it. She sat up straight and said with a smile: "General, you came back very early today."

"Yes, I came back after I finished my work." Xie Jing walked over with a grand step. He had changed his armor into casual clothes. He sat down on the couch after lifting his clothes.

There was a quilt on the couch, and on top of the quilt was a fox fur blanket. It was a fox that Xie Jing hunted last year.

After Leng Xiao brought it over, Jiang Youning spread the blanket on it. It was very warm.

Chuntao came in with hot tea, walked slowly to the couch, put the hot tea in front of Xie Jing, and then left.

Xie Jing was a little thirsty at this time, he picked up the teacup in front of him and put it to his lips to take a sip, and the hot tea went into his mouth, and his body became warm.

Jiang Youning picked up a piece of peanut candy and handed it to Xie Jing, "General, try the rice candy."

Xie Jing put the teacup in his hand on the low table and looked at the rice candy in Jiang Youning's hand. It was a square piece, made of fried rice and peanuts.

He took it with curiosity and took a bite. It was a little sweet, the taste of fragrant rice was not strong, and he could smell the taste of peanuts.

Jiang Youning asked, "General, how does it taste?"

Xie Jing looked up at Jiang Youning and asked in confusion, "It tastes OK, why haven't I seen rice candy before?"

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "I taught Chuntao to make it, it's not available on the market yet."

She had been to the countryside with her eldest brother, and during the Chinese New Year in the countryside, the family would prepare rice candy for the New Year.

Xie Jing had eaten a lot of unheard-of delicacies in Lingxiyuan,

"You are very knowledgeable about food."

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Food is the first priority for people, and it is worth spending time and experience to satisfy your appetite."

Xie Jing did not comment.

Jiang Youning asked, "General, you don't have to go to the training ground tomorrow, right?"

Xie Jing said, "No, New Year's Eve is coming, let them rest for a few days." Jiang Youning

said, "General, you can also take a few days off. It must be tiring to train every day."

Xie Jing looked up at her. He couldn't deny that the high-intensity training every day was indeed tiring. He was tired, let alone the soldiers?

Chuntao opened the curtain and came in, "General, Madam, the young master is here."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yu walked in.

Seeing the couple on the couch, he smiled and said, "Brother Xie is so leisurely today."

But in his heart, he said, "Fortunately, I didn't come in directly. It would be embarrassing if I saw him and his wife kissing and whispering. 】

Xie Jing's voice was slightly deep: "What did the young master come for?"

"I'm looking for Ning'er." Xiao Yu has always been unrestrained. He moved a small stool and came over with a smile, "Ning'er, I want some fish balls and meat balls."

It's the New Year, Jiang Youning asked Chuntao to prepare a lot of meatballs, and it's okay to give some to Xiao Yu.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Chuntao to get you some."

Jiang Youning said, "Chuntao, prepare some meatballs for the young master."

Chuntao responded and turned around to get busy.

Xiao Yu thought of the mutton rolls in the hot pot last time, "Ning'er, do you have the mutton rolls you mentioned last time? Get me some too."

He said he planned to take it back and eat it in the hot pot during the New Year.

Jiang Youning is not a stingy person. Xiao Yu has brought her many clients from the royal family, so giving her some mutton rolls is nothing.

"No problem."

Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes curved, and she praised generously: "Ning'er is generous."

Xie Jing looked at Xiao Yu sitting next to Jiang Youning, and his eyes darkened, "Little Master, come here."

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked over, "Brother Xie, do you have something to say?"

Xie Jing: "Yes."

Xiao Yu immediately moved a small stool over, with a posture of a listener, "Brother Xie, go ahead."

"Sit down and don't move." Xie Jing picked up the teacup and drank tea calmly.

Xiao Yu was stunned, and looked down at his sitting posture, [Xie Jing, what do you mean? Can't move? Jiang Youning

ate a lot of cakes and felt thirsty. He picked up the teacup and glanced at Xie Jing. He was also curious why Xiao Yu was not allowed to move.

Xiao Yu was at home. Maybe the beauty could control him, but he still listened to what Xie Jing said.

He sat there obediently. It was not

until Chuntao brought meatballs and mutton rolls that he happily returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

On New Year's Eve, new big red lanterns were installed in the general's mansion and couplets were posted.

It is said that the old lady wrote the couplet herself.

Jiang Youning looked at the words on the couplet with envy.

"Mother must be a talented woman. She is beautiful and graceful, and her handwriting is so beautiful."

Xie Jing said, "I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be, but my mother's handwriting is indeed good."

Xie Jing was telling the truth. If mother was a talented woman, there would be no rumors about her being a talented woman in Jinling.

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "That shows that mother is low-key."

Xie Jing lowered her eyes and looked over. Her double almond eyes always contained a faint smile.

"You are very insightful."

Jiang Youning was quite proud, "You don't even consider whose daughter-in-law I am."

Xie Jing looked at her steadily.

He did not retract his gaze until Eunuch Li arrived.

"General of the Cavalry, the emperor is holding a banquet tonight, and invites the general of the cavalry and his wife to go together." Eunuch Li said with a smile.

The emperor's banquet was a family banquet on New Year's Eve, and the guests were naturally the royal family.

The emperor valued Xie Jing, and it was an honor that ordinary people did not have.

Xie Jing said: "I know, please tell the emperor, Eunuch Li, I will definitely go."
