I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Jiang Huai came back from court and went to Jiang Yuan's yard.

Jiang Yuan, who was chatting with his aunt, saw his brother coming in and greeted him with a smile, "Chunzhi, bring a bowl of sour plum soup."

Chunzhi's injury has healed a lot. She was forced by Jiang Yuan to stay in bed for half a month, and she has become plumper. Today, her aunt came to measure her and Luzhu's sizes, as both of them need new clothes made.

When they measured the dimensions in the morning, there was wailing everywhere in the house and the two people were in tears.

I originally planned to buy it at the clothing store, but my aunt was bored at home and wanted to find something to do, so I let her do it.

"Aunt." Jiang Huai greeted his aunt after entering the room.

Auntie stood up quickly and said, "The eldest master is back. You two can chat while I go to the warehouse to choose materials."

"Brother, are we going to leave today?"

"No, I have the emperor's permission to leave for the south tomorrow. The flood season has already arrived there, so it is extremely important. I cannot feel at ease if I don't go back and keep an eye on it.

The emperor noticed something unusual before, and Dongshan County is close, so he was afraid that I would be in danger if I returned to the south, so he found an excuse to keep Lu Chuan and me in the capital."

Jiang Yuan had guessed it a long time ago, so he was not too surprised. Jiang Huai was not surprised that Jiang Yuan was not surprised.

The brother and sister smiled at each other.

"Brother, this is your lifelong event, so take care of yourself."

Jiang Huai glared at her. She couldn't bring up this matter. If she did, she would be reminded of how her delicious cabbages were taken away by that pig Xie Yunxiao, and she would feel suffocated and anxious.

"Mind your own business, and leave me alone."

"Okay, okay, I don't care. Just be careful."

The luggage had been prepared long ago, and the next morning, Lu Chuan accompanied them again, as well as Zhou Qian'an, who was responsible for escorting more than a dozen trucks of goods.

As the team walked away, Xie Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you relieved?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Xie Yunxiao took Jiang Yuan's hand and walked back leisurely, "Your brother is in Beijing, I don't dare to look for you. Although he agreed, the way he looked at me was as if he wanted to eat me."

Although the problem of the traitors was solved, the subsequent events took three months to come to an end.

Jiang Huai wrote to say that there were no floods in the south this year due to the flood season, and that initial results have been achieved in river management.

Just like before, Jiang Yuan went to the Flying Tiger Camp to train soldiers and play with Qu Ying. Now there is also Shu He and a cute baby.

When the baby learns to speak, the first thing he calls out is not "mother" but "fish".

Shuhe likes the spicy stewed fish at Tianxianglou, and Jiang Yuan likes sweet and sour carp. They order them at every gathering or order them for takeout. Over time, the first clear word that the children say is "fish."

Old Mr. Yu said that this was fate. It was the fish we ate and the Yu in our surname. It was destined that this was a child of the Yu family.

The eldest princess was arranging a marriage for Qu Jin and forced her to look at those portraits every day. Qu Jin got so angry that she ran away, left a letter behind, and went to her grandfather's house.

"A Yuan, this invitation, isn't it from the Anyang Palace?" As Qu Ying entered the room, he saw an invitation thrown on the table.

Jiang Yuan was sitting at the desk writing.

Qu Ying hummed impatiently, picked it up and looked at it, "I got it too, the princess keeps looking for opportunities to invite you every few days, but you just refuse, it's not good.

Knowing that you must have received it, my mother specifically asked me to come here, saying that I must go this time."

"Why?" Jiang Yuan didn't even raise his head.

Ever since the matter of the rebels was sorted out, she has received three invitations from Anyang Palace in the past two months. This is the fourth one. It is a regular pattern to receive one invitation every half a month.

The dignitaries in the capital city often hold gatherings under various names. They are called gatherings, but the essence of them is nothing more than people visiting each other, comparing with each other, and gossiping.

Jiang Yuan didn't show up on the previous three occasions due to busy work. Anyway, she wasn't invited individually, so it didn't matter if she didn't go. She couldn't just show up when she was invited, so she gave him a small gift as a small apology.

Qu Ying poured herself a cup of tea and looked through the invitation. "You didn't even open it, did you?"

"Forget it. I knew you wouldn't watch. It's not an important party, but you didn't show up three times, which is really embarrassing for the princess.

So my mother told me to tell you that you must go this time."

Putting down the pen, Jiang Yuan sighed impatiently.

"Well, I know exactly what the princess means, and I'm naturally on your side.

Ever since you went to the East Territory, I told my third cousin that you and he are simply not suitable for each other.

I thought he would listen to me, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

You might as well bring Xie Yunxiao with you. Otherwise, you two can just get married.

Anyway, my brother has agreed, so you two can decide your marriage. Go to the emperor and ask for his decree to grant the marriage. It will also save your face, how great."

Sitting opposite Qu Ying, Jiang Yuan picked up the teacup, thought for a moment and said, "After the Marquis came back, did you mention anything about the East Territory?"

The topic change was a bit too radical and Qu Ying didn't react for a moment.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"

“We discussed at the time and felt that the truce in the East Territory was just a temporary one, but there was no definite timeline as to how long this temporary truce would last.

But I always think in my heart that I want to go to the East Territory, occupy Qingshi Mountain, have a good fight with Dajin, and build a defense barrier for the East Territory. From then on, there will be no more chaos in the East Territory for a hundred years."

Qu Ying's eyes widened. Did she speak just now? Why, I don't understand?

Or maybe her goal is too big and unbelievable.

"You...no, aren't we discussing the matter of granted marriage?"

"Yes, this is very important."

"What does this have to do with your arranged marriage?"

"If I go to the East Territory to fight, then I have to plan my marriage carefully. Should we get married first and then go to the East Territory together, or should we fight first, take down Qingshi Mountain, and stabilize the situation in the East Territory before getting married?

If I am stationed in the East Border, will Xie Yunxiao be willing? If he is not willing, then there is no need to get married, so as not to delay each other."

Qu Ying touched Jiang Yuan's forehead, then touched her own, "You don't have a fever, you two are so close, but you said that this relationship is over, is it so easy?"

"Of course not. The future is the future, and marriage is marriage. It is good for two people to walk side by side, but if the dreams cannot be parallel, there is no need for one to sacrifice more to fulfill the other.

Even if the sacrificed person may not complain at first, he will inevitably feel resentful over time."

"I have tried very hard to keep up with your thoughts, but now I feel that I am still very far away, very, very far away." Qu Ying looked up at the sky, feeling hopeless.

However, before Xie Yunxiao even mentioned the matter of going to the East Territory, some things happened that led to their relationship.
