Chapter 162: Stop Pushing Me
Guan Jiyu, Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu entered the restaurant, but a distance of more than a dozen steps, Jiang Yingnian's eyes fell on Guan Jiyu's body until he sat down at the table, Jiang Yingnian said, "Ah Yu, are you tired?"
Guan Jiyu didn't deny it, she nodded, and said, "It's hard to travel, and I haven't eaten a bite of food today, so I'm really tired and hungry at this time."
Jiang Yingnian said: "I'll just say, it seems that something is wrong with you today, usually your waist is straight, why do you look more and more like you are rickety now."
Guan Jiyu smiled reluctantly and said, "You guys returned to Nanqin this time, how is the second son in the family? But you've been taking medicine?"
When Jiang Xian was mentioned this time, Jiang Yingnian didn't sigh anymore, he casually played with a chopstick in his hand, and said, "He's okay, although he still can't do without medicine every day, but when I go back this time, I see that his face is much better than before."
Guan Jiyu stretched out his hand to take the teapot on the table, Jiang Yingnian picked it up first after seeing it, poured a cup of tea for Guan Jiyu, and said, "I said a long time ago to let him change the side medicine, he just didn't listen, it didn't work for a few years, until this year he changed his house out of nowhere, and I see that the medicine he took is not the same as before."
"No matter where the prescription is, it is a good prescription that can cure the disease." Guan Jiyu said, "This time I am also going to go back to Nanqin to see the second son."
The eldest lady outside shouted loudly, "The noodles are ready!"
Han Xu stood up silently when he heard the sound, and walked out of the door to face him. Three bowls of piping hot noodles were served, and Jiang Yingnian quickly stirred a bowl and handed it to Guan Jiyu, saying, "You eat first."
Jiang Yingnian continued what Guan Jiyu had just said, and said, "No, the second brother is very good, you don't have to worry about him." He picked up a large chopstick noodle and said, "Since we met here, it's time to go to the north together, although the general specially approved me for some time, but we still need people in the north, we have to hurry over."
Guan Jiyu took a bite of noodles, and when she heard Jiang Yingnian's words, the chopsticks in her hand stagnated for a long time before they stirred again in the bowl.
Her stomach was hungry, but she had no intention of continuing to eat.
Jiang Yingnian quickly finished eating the noodles in the bowl in a few big bites, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and suddenly said happily, "Oh yes! Ah Yu, I have a gift for you!"
"Gifts?" Guan Jiyu said suspiciously, "What gift did you give me?"
"You'll know when you see it." Jiang Yingnian touched his body until he took out an envelope, and Han Xu's expressionless face was a little more happy at the moment.
Jiang Yingnian handed the envelope to Guan Jiyu and said, "Open it and take a look."
Guan Jiyu put down her chopsticks, took the envelope and opened it slowly, when Guan Jiyu saw the title deed inside, her eyes lit up, but she quickly returned to normal, and said, "What are you buying it for?"
Jiang Yingnian smiled and said, "I bought all the two houses we went to see together at that time. Ah Yu, how is it? Do you like this gift?"
Guan Jiyu put the title deed back in the envelope, gently placed it on the table, and said, "For no reason, what are you buying it for?" Besides, we're not usually there......
"Didn't I see that you really like it?" Jiang Yingnian raised her eyebrows, pretending to be mysterious: "Moreover, why is it for no reason, the reason why I decided to buy it is precisely because of a reason. Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, I might as well tell you another piece of good news."
"Say what you want." The corners of Guan Jiyu's mouth raised, and he said, "What's the good news? Could it be that the general has promoted you to a military position?"
Jiang Yingnian squeezed his eyes, approached Guan Jiyu, and said proudly, "It's not me." He stretched out two fingers, pointed at Guan Jiyu, and then pointed at himself, and said, "It's you and me, it's us!"
Guan Jiyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, her face stiffened, and she said uncertainly, "What?"
Han Xu was also as happy as Jiang Yingnian, although he didn't show any emotions on his face like Jiang Yingnian, but at the moment he was happy for the two of them from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Ji Yu, congratulations."
Jiang Yingnian picked up a hemp ball and handed it to Guan Jiyu, he could barely suppress it
Holding the excitement in his heart, he said, "Ah Yu, our wish has finally come true! The Great General has already told me that he has decided to confer on you and me the two military positions of "Defending Honor" and "Defending Cavalry" that were originally established."
This news surprised Guan Jiyu, she felt her back tingle, and her mind went blank. She couldn't hear what Jiang Yingnian said later, she only saw his mouth open and closed, and the numbness on Guan Jiyu's back could not be eased for a long time, and it spread to her calves, she seemed to be nailed to a stool, staring at Jiang Yingnian blankly.
Jiang Yingnian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "What's wrong? Wouldn't it be too happy, just stupid to be happy all of a sudden?"
Guan Jiyu tried to make herself look normal, she pulled her lips and said jerkyly, "This honor hasn't been promulgated yet, has it?" There are many meritorious people in the army, like Helan, who are brave and resourceful, and their merits are no worse than mine, the general's decision...... Isn't that too hasty?"
Jiang Yingnian pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "I said that you have a brain melon seed, have you become stupid because you haven't used it for too long?" He reached out and knocked Guan Jiyu's forehead, and said, "At this time, you still say this? Anyone would be happy to hear this, right? Not only are you unhappy, but what are you saying that you are not sloppy? I've fainted!"
Guan Jiyu lowered his head, his fingers tightly clasped the wall of the cup, silent.
Jiang Yingnian picked up a hemp ball, took a big bite and said, "You think that other people have good intentions, but this honor is not stolen by you and me, especially you, whether it is a battle in the north or a battle with the true fool country in the east, you have paid a lot, in this case, why do you think so much?!" He said gently, "Ah Yu, when you entered the barracks, you entered as the first place, you are hardworking, diligent, brave and good at fighting, no worse than the men. So why are you arrogant? This honor should be yours!"
Jiang Yingnian's words Guan Jiyu heard everything, those words were true and sincere, she only felt sad when she heard it, and felt a huge heavy stone pressed on her heart, which made her breathless.
"And most importantly, isn't this honor something you've been longing for? I remember when you were a kid in the Qingzi camp, you always wanted to enter the border camp and make some achievements, but you forgot all this?"
Jiang Yingnian is right, almost everyone in the former mansion knew that in Guan Jiyu's heart, nothing was more important than practicing martial arts to participate in the competition selection.
And the competitions and selections are like bricks and tiles, and when they accumulate a certain amount, they are enough to build a high wall and build a house that symbolizes the top honor.
In Guan Jiyu's heart, she must walk into that house, and the meaning and mission of her life is to get the top honor, so as to prove herself and prove that Jiang Qing did not choose the wrong person. qs
Guan Jiyu's voice was a little hoarse, and she said in a low voice, "I haven't forgotten."
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Yingnian looked relieved, and thought that Guan Jiyu was just awkward in her heart, as long as she was persuaded away, she would no longer be guilty of this stubbornness. He continued, "What do you care so much about? Anyway, this time we went to Beixin together, and we can be freer! It doesn't matter if General Chen is there, he is also good at talking, anyway, he is better at talking than the general! You and I, and Han Xu, our family can be together again!"
"The Year of the Silk." Guan Jiyu suddenly called his name, and she finally mustered up the courage to look up, look into his eyes, and said, "I'm not going back to the barracks."
This sentence used almost all of her techniques, and when the last word came out of her mouth, Guan Jiyu gasped, and then waited with bated breath for Jiang Yingnian's reaction.
Jiang Yingnian was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and touched Guan Jiyu's forehead, and then touched his own, and said strangely: "I don't have a fever, why did you start talking nonsense?"
Guan Jiyu squeezed out a light smile and said, "I was outside during this time, in fact, I thought a lot, I found that maybe the military camp is not suitable for me, so I don't want to go back."
Sure that Guan Jiyu was not talking nonsense, Jiang Yingnian then removed the smile on his face, his eyes were blank, and he hesitated, "Why? Did something happen?"
Guan Jiyu shook his head and said, "No."
Han Xu was also puzzled, and said, "Ji Yu, if you said such a thing when you first entered the military camp earlier, I wouldn't have thought it was strange, but now that you have come to this point, and your success is just around the corner, you said that you want to give up......" He thought for a while and said, "Isn't this too cost-effective?"
Guan Jiyu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "There is nothing cost-effective, I used to have little knowledge, and I only thought about honor, but when I really spent a period of time in the barracks, I found that it was actually too far from what I imagined."
She looked at Han Xu and said, "Although we are both staying together in the Jiang Mansion, I have always been under the eldest prince and in the Qingzi camp. The brothers in the camp are closer to me than my relatives, I am an orphan, I have no family, they are my closest family...... But I never imagined that one day I would watch my family, my brother, die at the hands of others."
"I see what you mean!" Jiang Yingnian unconsciously reached out to hold Guan Jiyu's hand and said, "Jing Cun's death is something that no one wants to see, and at that time, the true fools were only pointing the finger at you alone, forcing you to watch them suffer, those true fools are not human beings at all!"
His sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a little distress, and said, "Ah Yu, I only hate myself for not being able to share it with you, and I blame myself for making you suffer. On the road to pursue your dreams, there will definitely be thorns and bumps, but no matter what, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side!"
"It's so hard, it's really hard...... Guan Jiyu smiled tiredly, she choked up, "Do you know, after coming out of the well of purgatory, although I persuaded myself to let go countless times, every night, I would dream of images of reverence and suffering, those nightmares haunted me, and they refused to let me go."
"If the realization of dreams is premised on such a price, then I don't want it."
Guan Jiyu looked at Jiang Yingnian with a smile and said, "I have made up my mind, to be honest, I haven't thought about the honor of "defending honor and riding horses" for a long time, who knows that you have always been worried." She tapped her fingers on the table casually, not caring and said, "If you really want to be for my good, don't force me anymore, don't let me suffer such a blow again, okay?"
