Chapter 965 Things You Don't Know

ouldn't grow. I didn't expect that today Jiner would have someone bring me this cold melon, and two golden fragrant melons, they look really good. 。Mr. Liu took a bite of the cold melon, and his whole..."Father!" Jiayin hurried over, exclaiming, "Why are you back so early today Didn't you go to the military camp"The Marquis stepped aside, shedding the crimson glow that enveloped him. All the rigid lines on his face softened, and he smiled, "I depart for battle the day after tomorrow, but I had to come back today no matter what." 。“ Jia Yin's heart skipped a beat. She forcefully suppressed the sudden anxiety that arose in her chest and replied, "Okay, I'll cook some delicious dishes for my adoptive father later. The village head and the others are also coming to drink.” 。The Lord nodded and walked around the pharmacy workshop. 。All the young men who were working were very excited and lined up to greet him. 。They were children of Suijin Beach, intimately familiar with the General's exploits. Every battle the General fought was practically their bedtime story. 。The Lord was the person they admired the most! The Lord smiled gently and encouraged them a few words. When Jiayin finished her busy work, they returned to the village together. 。Mu Xu waited outside, leaning against the door post, chewing on a straw and squinting in enjoyment of the setting sun. 。The Master said, "Let's go home first. I'm here with Fu Niu'er." 。Mu Xu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Jia Yin, and turned away with a reluctant air. 。The lord smiled understandingly and walked slowly along the path with Jia Yin. 。The grass along the path was lush and fragrant. 。The bird eager to return home flaps its wings and flies over, occasionally calling out to its friends. 。Everything is preparing for the coming night. 。The Lord waited for a while but didn't hear his daughter speak. He patted her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong Are you worried about your godfather going on the expedition" Jia Yin nodded, the worry in her eyes thick and impossible to dispel. She plucked a branch from a tree and twirled it in her hand 。She tried to dissuade him with a few words, but she knew it was useless. So she changed the subject. 。"Father, do you still remember the first time I came to your home""Of course," the Marquis smiled, a nostalgic look on his face, letting out a soft sigh and opening up unexpectedly. 。"At that time, I actually had thoughts of suicide." 。After all, since my parents and family passed away early, the only relative I cared about, my cousin, became emperor. 。I dragged my ailing body, traveling everywhere, just intending to die wherever I ended up buried. 。As a result, we ran into your family. And I met you, little girl. 。Your home is poor, but lively and warm. 。You're more like a little celestial fairy who fell from the sky, cute and pure as snow, with spirits shining in your eyes. Being loved and cherished by your whole family makes me incredibly envious. 。"Still thinking, in the next life if there's good fortune, to be reborn into a family like yours, together with you would be just fine." 。"Didn't expect you wouldn't give me this chance!" The Marquis broke into a smile, his eyes and eyebrows radiating an uncommon joy. He gently rubbed his daughter's hair 。You run up to me every day, your tiny fists full of pills, exchanging them for my silver coins, and then saving my life. 。“Of course I felt strange and surprised, but more happy to be alive” 。So I made a vow, no matter where you come from, whether you are a fairy child or an ordinary child, since half my life is yours, then all the glory and love in my second half of life will be yours. 。"So, we've made it this far." 。I am so fortunate that I came to your family and have you as my daughter!” Jia Yin's heart felt both warm and a little choked up. She couldn't help but grip her adoptive father's hand, feeling the rough calluses from years of wielding a knife. 。"Father, to be your daughter is the happiest thing in my life." 。I only have one father, but I have two. I am the luckiest child in the world. 。"You silly girl!" The Marquis shook his hand from the young lady's, wanting to let go but unable to bear it. 。As her daughter grows up, she can't be as close and affectionate as when she was a child. 。But it was getting dark, and there was no one on the road, so there was no need to worry about being seen. 。After all, this expedition, no one can guarantee his safe return. 。To die in battle, one's body wrapped in horsehide, was almost a destiny. 。He thought for a moment, then took his daughter's hand and continued walking forward. 。"Little Blessing, there's something I'm sorry about. Your godfather arranged this without discussing it with you..." 。You should be able to see that Mu Xu was intentionally placed beside you. 。“He... is the husband I picked out for you.” 。"I have shown kindness to him, so I made a pact with him. In return, he will be by your side for three years, protecting you with his life and never leaving your side." 。This way, you can learn more about him, and he's also observing you. 。"If you both like each other, in the future, you can get married." 。If you don't like it, after three years, let him go free. You can also be friends with him. 。As for her stepfather putting Mu Xu by her side, Jia Yin had some guesses, but she just thought that Mu Xu had some mysterious abilities to protect herself. 。Who would have thought, it turned out to be husband training! She was so shocked that her eyes widened, and then she blushed a little. After all, in both her past and present lives, she had never been in love with anyone. 。"Foster father, this... isn't this too early I'm only fourteen." 。"However, the Lord shook his head and said earnestly, "Some aristocratic families, in order to find a good home for their daughters, will start looking at potential matches from a young age. They take into consideration not only character and academic ability but also conduct and behavior." 。"Our family has a shallow foundation, and the few families we often interact with, including the two boys from Liu's family and the boy from Guo's family, are all..." 。Over the past few years, I've been keeping an eye on the young talents from each household in Xindu. Unfortunately, none of them have caught my attention. 。A big family is also not suitable for you, there are too many rules. 。It's fortunate that I met Mu Xu in Jiangbei, otherwise I would have failed. 。Mu Xu came from a scholarly family, but his parents passed away and there were no relatives left in the clan. This meant he had no family to rely on and no one to hold him back. 。"Without a family to rely on, he was lonely and isolated, easily drawn to the warmth and excitement of our home, longing to be part of it." 。Without parents and family to hold you back, it means if you marry someone, you won't suffer any grievances from anyone. Even after marriage, you can continue living in Suijin Beach without having to leave. 。"Mu Xu, a young man, was deeply affected by the upheaval in his family. He became ruthless in his actions, but he was also incredibly intelligent. In just three years of learning, he surpassed those who had spent ten years." 。But he is still kind-hearted and disdainful of worldly constraints, most of all he hates rules and etiquette. 。Thus, from now on, he can protect you and won't ask you to stay confined to the house like ordinary women. He'll accompany you as you explore the world and do what you love. 。Even if...even if you sometimes act a little out of the ordinary, he can accept it more easily than others. 。“ The Marquis spoke in one breath, too much at once. He paused and continued, “But these are all the considerations of your foster father. Whether he is good or not, you have to see for yourself.” 。"See, everything is fine" 。Even if he were excellent, you wouldn't like him. 。"My godfather hopes you have a soulmate to accompany you and live a happy life!"Jia Yin had already heard until tears streamed down her face. 。The past two years, her stepfather has been away fighting, and she has grown up. There are so many things happening, so it's inevitable that they drifted apart. 。Unbelievably, her stepfather's love for her hadn't diminished at all. He had secretly made arrangements for so much 。Today's update is here ~~them, the Li family vouchsafed letters of recommendation, only then were families willing to lend their grain. 。After discussing and reaching an agreement, Jiayin took the box of snacks and hurried ba...
