Xie Hou turned away, and Qu Ying stared at his departing back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

It was only after Jiang Yuan patted her that she turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan with some concern, "I was in there just now and heard everything.

You are simply pointing your finger at Lord Xie and scolding him. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"

Jiang Yuan pulled Qu Ying towards the dining tent, saying as he walked, "How can he retaliate against me?

He now holds the title of Marquis, but he does not have any specific assignment in the major military camps in the capital.

Xie Hou, a military marquis, has no military assignment, which means he has been useless for a long time.

It probably won't be easy to get involved in my career.

As for other aspects, including the reputation he mentioned, I answered him that I don’t care.

Of course, it would be best if he hired someone to kill me. This is what I like the most. My sword will be unhappy if it doesn't see blood for a while.

When the time comes, I will hang all those people at the gate of Xie Hou Mansion and drain their blood. Who will be frightened to death?"

Qu Ying clapped his hands in admiration at Jiang Yuan and gave him a thumbs up, "You are the best, you dared to kill someone in the capital and hang him at the door of the Marquis's mansion.

Do you really think the emperor is a vegetarian?"

"Hey, he sent someone to kill me, and I didn't fight back. So I had to wash my neck and let him chop it off. This is called self-defense."

"Your fight back is legitimate defense, but if you hang him in the Marquis's Mansion, it's not legitimate defense, right?"

"He has sent people to kill me, and I am not allowed to fight back. My counterattack has been very gentle. I just let them watch and clean up at the same time.

I am so kindhearted. When someone sent assassins to kill me, I gave them something to watch. Is there anyone in the world who repays evil with kindness more kindly than me? "

Qu Ying couldn't believe her ears. What kind of vicious words did she just hear? How could this person, who looked quite human, say such inhuman words?

"My mother told me about Fourth Brother Xie today. Lord Xie selected a few girls for Fourth Brother and came to the Emperor to ask him to make the decision.

This matter was suppressed by the emperor.

Judging from the emperor's attitude, he wants to ask for the fourth brother's opinion. The emperor plans to arrange a marriage for the fourth brother Xie, but the candidate will be decided by the fourth brother himself.

what do you think? "

The last sentence confused Jiang Yuan, and he asked back, "What do I think? What does this have to do with me?"

Qu Ying sighed, "You have reached the age of 15, and although you missed the 15 ceremony, you should still plan for your future.

My mother said that she likes you very much. If you like my two brothers, I will give you whichever one you want."

"What?" It was Jiang Yuan's turn to be shocked. He stopped and stared at Qu Ying with wide eyes. "No, the eldest princess loves them very much. I treat them as my brothers."

Qu Ying smiled and took Jiang Yuan's arm again, "I know, and my mother knows too, she said it's all because of my elder and second brothers.

She also said that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Lu liked you very much when they saw you last time, so Zhou Qian and Lu Chuan are not bad either.

But Zhou Qian'an's mother doesn't want her to join the army, so she may be against a daughter-in-law joining the army. I suggest you not choose it.

The Lu family is pretty good.

Of course, the best candidate is Fourth Brother Xie. Apart from his miserable family, he is really the best choice."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Do I have to choose one? Can't I just not get married? My career is just starting to take off, and I don't want to be locked up in the inner house to give birth to a child."

"Career? Is that your official position?" Qu Ying heard Jiang Yuan mention these two words more than once and guessed that it should be related to her official career.

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Yes, being an official, getting promoted, and realizing my self-worth, this is my career. I don't want love affairs. Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

"You can't stay single forever, right? My mother also came from the battlefield. Even if she waited until so late, she still had to get married and have children.

If you don't get married now, what about when you're in your twenties or thirties?"

"When I'm in my thirties, I'll try to get myself a female marquisate. It will be so glorious to be the first female marquisate in Dayu."

"Have you ever thought about anything else? Have you ever thought about getting married?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"Will your brother agree?"

"I..." Jiang Yuan was speechless. Indeed, the only one who could control her now was Jiang Huai. Although he did not agree with Jiang Yuan's marriage proposal now, he didn't know how crazy this brother would go if she was still not married in her twenties.

Seeing Jiang Yuan stumped by the question, Qu Ying struck while the iron was hot, "So you still have to get married eventually, you can wait for a few years, but these guys are all old and may not be able to wait for you.

If you miss it, you don’t know if there will be another one later.”

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes, closed his mouth, and didn't want to continue this topic.

The meat had been cut and marinated. When the two of them arrived, Chunzhi and Luzhu were sitting at the door skewering the meat.

"Girl, the skewering is almost done. This is the pork hind leg, this is the mutton, and the other is the rabbit meat." Chunzhi said, pointing to several pots.

Lu Zhu also took a basket and opened it to find steamed bread slices. "I specially asked the sisters in the kitchen to steam a pot of steamed bread. I promised them that I would bake the steamed bread slices and share some with them."

"Are you exaggerating again, saying that steamed bread slices are the most delicious thing in the world?" Jiang Yuan pinched Luzhu's waist jokingly.

The itchy green bamboo giggled and dodged, "I'm not exaggerating, it's the most delicious thing in the world."

After the two of them had put the skewers on and placed them in the basket, the four of them walked back.

Qu Jin and a few maids set up the barbecue grill and lit the charcoal. As the sun set, braziers and torches were lit all over the camp, and the tents also lit up.

Xie Yunxiao finished his work for the day and came here with Xue Yangling.

He didn't know about the conflict between Jiang Yuan and Lord Xie during the day, and Jiang Yuan naturally didn't show it. Instead, Xue Yangling looked at the two of them, then looked at Xie Yunxiao and sighed.

Xie Yunxiao was still in charge of the grilling. Qu Jin got two jars of good wine from Qu Hou. They sat around the campfire, eating and chatting.

There were bonfires everywhere, and at each bonfire there were people barbecuing, but they were all attracted by the fragrance and looked at Jiang Yuan eagerly.

Finally, the eunuch beside the emperor came trotting over with Prince Anyang. Prince Anyang looked at the barbecue on Xie Yunxiao's stove and rubbed his hands, "Well, the emperor smelled it and said he wanted to taste it. These are all ready!"
