"An orphan girl whose parents are both dead."

"Who knows how those people in Jiangnan will laugh at my grandmother."

"Besides, my mother has already found a good family for her. After her mourning period is over, she can be engaged immediately."

As she spoke, she gestured at the saddle with her hands a few times.

Deciding it was just the right size, I passed it to a friend.

"You can try going into the back room of the store. I guess it's about the same as yours."

Ji Liuzheng blinked, with a bit of mischief in her eyes.

When choosing a saddle, you should not only consider whether it matches the size of the horse, but also the size of your personal hips.

Otherwise, if you put a small saddle on your big butt, you'll get hurt.

The girl glared at Ji Liuzheng and said, "Female hooligan!"

Ji Liuzheng touched his nose and said, "God and heaven are my conscience, I am not a magic mirror, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

The woman made a face at her and went to find the shop with the saddle in her arms.

.......

But after night fell, there was laughter and joy everywhere in the Bingzhou military camp.

Only Ji Liuyun hid in the shadows and secretly poured the shredded sweet potatoes into the food box.

You know what, the chefs in Jiangling are really different. They can even cook sugar color better than those in the restaurants in the city!

I just finished installing my own and was thinking of helping my good brother share some of his worries.

Then he saw Xie Mingcheng, who had stood in front of him without him knowing when.

Ji Liuyun froze for a moment, and quickly stood up and clasped his fists in salute.

Although his father is a general, he is just an ordinary soldier.

Proper etiquette must not be neglected, and the Ji family's reputation cannot be lost!

Xie Mingcheng nodded in greeting, glanced at someone's feet, and was secretly pushing the lunch box aside.

His eyes curved, and he tried hard to hold back his laughter, struggling to maintain his general demeanor.

In fact, before coming to Bingzhou, he had consulted General Ji on how to deal with the Eastern Xiongnu.

Of course, General Ji also mentioned that his two children were both gluttons who loved the Jiangling chefs.

However, in order to temper the two's characters, General Ji never spoiled them. They could save up their monthly allowance to buy whatever they wanted.

Even Ji Liuyun, who joined the army two years ago, started as a private.

Xie Mingcheng clenched his fist, put it on his upper lip and coughed lightly, maintaining a calm image.

"After the celebration banquet, come to my tent."

Just this one sentence made Ji Liuyun worried for most of the night, and he thought over and over again about his recent actions.

I was terrified of bringing shame to my dad and being scolded.

Dad lost face, he didn't want to be scolded...

But when he returned home with two large boxes of delicious food from Xie Mingcheng, he still felt like he was dreaming.

Ji Liuzheng took decisive action and slapped him on the back, "Does it hurt?"

"What do you think..." Ji Liuyun's eyes were filled with tears, "You are really my sister."

"of course!"

Ji Liuzheng reached out and took out the food boxes one by one, looking at the table full of delicious dishes.

She couldn't help but sigh, "This young General Xie is such a nice guy!"

Ji Liuyun nodded heavily, "I think so too!"

He suddenly changed the subject, "Sister, what do you think of him?"

"puff--"

The soup that had just entered his mouth was sprayed all over Ji Liuyun's face without a drop left.

Ji Liuyun: “…”

"Sister, why are other people's sisters so gentle and kind, but you always want to murder your own brother?"

Ji Liuzheng took a handkerchief and wiped it on his face randomly.

"What are you thinking about? If I were your sister, gentle and kind, you would have been kidnapped by kidnappers long ago."

"Fortunately, I was very agile. I dropped from the sky and knocked the bastard unconscious with a brick."

Ji Liuzheng said it simply, but in reality, the crutcher stepped hard on his calf, breaking the bone and almost making him crippled.

Ji Liuyun took the handkerchief, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He just silently pushed all the dishes that Ji Liuzheng liked to her side.

However, the good times didn’t last long, and the brother and sister had just started eating for a while.

Mrs. Ji rushed over and gave them a long speech urging them to get married.

"Look, other families have already had grandchildren."

"I didn't even see the shadow of my son-in-law or daughter-in-law!"

Ji Liuyun felt a headache after hearing this, "If you don't mind, I can call you grandma."

"This way you will not only be able to hold a grandson, but a grandson who will soon be a grown-up."

Madam Ji raised her foot, kicked it, pointed with her bare hand, and said angrily:

"Get out of my way! Why did I give birth to such a troublesome thing like you?"

Ji Liuyun put down his chopsticks, walked to the corner skillfully, and reflected on his mistakes facing the wall.

"The autumn harvest will be over in a few days, there will be a temple fair and the army will have a holiday. Both of you should come with me to the temple and worship properly!"

The brother and sister hung their heads and said in unison, "I understand, mother."

……

A few days later, in a temple outside the city.

After Xie Mingcheng prayed for amulets for his relatives, he stepped over the stone hurdles and left the hall.

Looking down from a high place, the villagers, whose skin has been tanned due to the rush for autumn harvest, have happy smiles on their faces.

Holding incense sticks and other things in their hands, they went to the Bodhisattva halls in groups of three or four.

The temple here does not charge entrance fees, nor does it force donations of incense. In fact, it is more effective than other places.

This attracted many wealthy families in the city to place their own tablets in the temple, but of course they had to pay money to the temple!

"This year, we harvested 20 dan of sorghum from our six mu of land."

"If we turn all of it into wine, we can make a lot of money next year!"

"I just don't know when the land tax will be distributed to us?"

"When the time comes, we can stay at home during the busy farming season. If we are not busy, we can also go out and do some work to supplement the family income."

Xie Mingcheng walked along the path beside the stone steps. Along the way, he could hear the sound of people chatting.

He reached out and touched the thick stack of amulets in his arms.

Now, he truly understood why Sister Yuheng was determined to kill Fuso.

Since the previous dynasty, the Japanese invaders have been harassing the eastern coast of Daliang. After a two hundred year hiatus, they have returned again.

Even if we defeat it this time, it will surely come again in the future, as annoying as a dog-skin plaster.

Not to mention the silver mines on the island, it would be great if it could eliminate future troubles and ensure that our people would live a worry-free life in the future.

He took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the scent of incense sticks and paper money.

Glancing sideways, I realized I had arrived at the temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

There is also a large marriage tree in front of the hall, hung with red silk.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the red silk that someone had not tied tightly fell to Xie Mingcheng's feet.

He leaned over, picked it up, walked under the tree, and was about to tie it back on.

Ji Liuyun's voice came from the side, "General, are you seeking a marriage partner as well?"

Xie Mingcheng paused what he was doing and looked in the direction of the voice.

Then I saw a woman leading a man and a woman, holding the red silk that she had just begged from the palace.

Seeing that there was a young woman among them, Xie Mingcheng quickly withdrew his gaze and saluted to the woman.

"Chengzhe, meet Mrs. Ji."

Mrs. Ji walked forward with a smile and helped her up through her handkerchief.

"Why are you being so polite, kid? You don't have to be so polite."

She looked at Xie Mingcheng and said with a smile, "Sincerity leads to wisdom, and wisdom leads to sincerity."
