Chapter 71(1/2)
"Just only dealing with shoulder height, Dabai is more than two feet tall now, far from comparable to an ordinary dog. You don't dare to let it go out and not let it meet guests. You are worried that it will cause trouble if it is favored by noble people.
Then let me tell you, Dabai will turn five next year. Before we get married, it will probably grow again, and the shoulder height is about three feet."
Xu Jin had already turned around and held his hand nervously, "Three feet?
That's high?"
Qi Jing knows too many things about it, and he has made up every time. Xu Jin is used to it now and will not question Qi Jing's words at all.
Qi Jing nodded, kissed her forehead, “Didn’t you always want to ride a horse?
When Dabai grows up, you can sit directly on it.”
He hadn't told her that the first five years were the time when Dabai grew the fastest. When Dabai turned twenty years old, his shoulder height could reach four feet, and he would not continue to grow.
Xu Jin was not happy at all, “No, someone knew Dabai would definitely be stolen.”
It is rare, and Dabai is so tall, it is really rare. My father is just a small official at present. Even Uncle Qi's third-rank official is nothing in the capital where the powerful are everywhere, let alone the people in the palace.
Now Xu Jin dares to let his neighbor's partner see Dabai because although Dabai is beautiful at this time, he is not as good as the sky, and it is just a smart big dog when it is reported.
But if she was really three feet tall, she wouldn't even dare to invite her to play with her neighbors, and even had to lock Dabai in the house without seeing the light of day, so as not to spread it.
"Qi Jing, after we get married next year, you can ask the emperor to transfer you to the border immediately. The farther the better. If you don't have much higher official positions than you, Dabai will be safe."
Xu Jin leaned against Qi Jing's shoulder, thinking that Qi Jing's decision to let go was too right. She couldn't bear to let Dabai see the light of the sky, so she could only stay away from the capital, a place where Qi Jing could cover the sky with his own hands.
"Don't worry, this is what I ask for from the Emperor."
Qi Jing patted her back comfortably, and handed her what she had just hidden in her arms in her puzzled eyes, "I told the emperor that you have a beautiful white dog. You are worried that it will be snatched away by someone all day long, and you dare not take it out for fun. Then he begged the emperor to give you something to prove that Dabai is yours and no one can snatch it."
"Is this the thing?"
Xu Jin rubbed the uneven sign in her hand, which was obviously engraved with patterns, and felt that if what Qi Jing said was true, it would be the best gift she would have received in her life.
Qi Jing nodded, touched the night pearl and handed it to her, and explained: "The emperor ordered someone to create it in the palace. Please take a closer look at the words on it."
Xu Jin immediately took the Ye Mingzhu and leaned against Qi Jing, looking carefully.
It is a brand new gold medal, the size of a palm, with words such as when Emperor Ming was given to him and so on. In addition to a majestic dog body engraving case, there are also a few lines of small characters engraved in the upper left corner.
Xu Jin stared at her eyes widened and said softly unconsciously: "The daughter of Xu You in Yongping County and the wife of Xu, Xu, can walk freely outside..."
"The emperor gave it to you. Even if the emperor likes it in the future, he will not be able to ask for it. So A Jin, don't worry about Dabai being stolen. It will be yours for the rest of his life."
Seeing her staring at the sign in a daze, Qi Jing said softly.
Of course, the emperor also said that if he hurts someone for no reason, he will still be punished, but that is impossible, and he doesn't need to tell her specifically.
"Qi Jing, you are so nice to me."
Xu Jin hugged Qi Jing's neck and pressed against him tightly.
No matter how good Dabai is, he is only a dog at most. However, for her, Qi Jing would rather not be able to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and would not be afraid of being teased by court officials to be loved by their children, so he specially asked for a brand for her.
She could even imagine how the emperor and the people around him would look at him when he asked for help. This big fool...
"Yes, the emperor said so, saying that I am the most despised person he has ever met."
Qi Jing kissed her and said with a smile: "The Emperor also said, if we quarrel one day in the future, you will ignore me, he will give me a sign and order you not to ignore me."
Emperor Ming was calm when dealing with political affairs and treated court officials with equal grace and authority. Once he gained his trust, Emperor Ming became approachable and joked like a friend.
Qi Jing originally had only the intention to use Emperor Ming, but now he has begun to appreciate the other party.
Xu Jin didn't believe it and looked at him with a smile, "You are lying, how could the emperor say this to you?"
Qi Jing also looked at her with a smile, "Don't believe it?"
Then you will ask the emperor personally when you meet him next year. Well, the emperor said that after we get married, we will be specially given to the palace to pay homage."
He said it very seriously. Xu Jin was panicked. She, did she have the chance to enter the palace?
"Don't be nervous, let's talk about next year."
Qi Jing turned over and held her hand and played with it, "A Jin, do you like this gift?"
"I like it the most."
Xu Jin took the initiative to kiss him.

Qi Jingshu had not fully recovered, so the emperor gave him a month off and had been in October when he returned to the palace to serve on duty.
During this period, the story of Qi Jing using the merit of saving the car to exchange dog cards for his fiancée for his dogs has long been spread throughout the capital.
Some men say he is stupid, some say he seems stupid but is actually romantic and passionate, while women all envy Qi's fiancée who is kept in the boudoir. If he is so kind to his lover, it is really difficult to find a second one.
Xu Jin stayed in the house and couldn't get out, but Zheng Anan would tell her the rumors outside.
Xu Jin was sweet in her heart, and she was smiling when embroidering her dowry.
Another happy thing was that my parents complained about Qi Jing because of his good intentions. After this, my mother was completely satisfied with the son-in-law, and my father no longer obviously neglected Qi Jing. Occasionally, when Qi Jing came to take Dabai out, his father would call Qi Jing to the study room for about a quarter of an hour.
Xu Jin asked Qi Jing what his father had told him in private. Qi Jing said honestly that it was nonsense, and in return his fiancée pinched her.
Qi Jing went on duty, and Xu Jin's heart slowly returned to his family.
At noon on the sixth day of the 10th month, Jiang successfully gave birth to a son. At the full moon, he was named Rui Geer.
Xu Jin liked the fat and fat Brother Rui very much. He took Brother Xi to stay by his second brother all day long, pointing at his second brother and recalling his childhood with Brother Xi.
The siblings poked and touched Brother Rui. When Brother Rui was in a good mood, he would endure it honestly. When he was unhappy, he would open his mouth and cry loudly, and welcome the most lively time of the day of the Xu family.
Huanhuan laughed and unknowingly, it was time for snow to be possible at any time. For safety reasons, Xu Jin did not allow Qi Jing to come to the evening. Of course, in order to get Qi Jing to agree, she felt sore again.
The next day, at dawn, Xu Jin returned to the bed and secretly was glad to get married next year. Otherwise, she would not know what else she could enjoy Qi Jing besides the last step.
An Anan slept for more than 20 days and had a good night's sleep. Unexpectedly, Qi Jing came again without warning at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.
Xu Jin was ready to scold him when he opened the window, but the guy hugged her excitedly after coming in, "A Jin, do you still remember General Pingxi?"
Xu Jin's sleepiness was swept away by the cold wind blowing in when the window was opened. He nodded after hearing this, "Remember, you said he is the most powerful general in this dynasty..." When he was a child, he mentioned it in her ear, and it was hard for her to remember it or not.
“Yes, it’s him.
A Jin, this month, the general Pingxi led his troops to Beijing, and the streets will definitely be more lively than when our top scholar paraded. Do you want to watch it?
I'll take you to see.
I saw it once when I was a kid, and it was very spectacular."
In fact, I have seen the original body, but Qi Jing has been looking forward to it for a long time.
If it were another general, he wouldn't be so curious, but General Pingxi really relied on his own ability to rise from a small soldier, and he admired the strong.
"My mother definitely won't let me go out."
Xu Jin was excited first and then depressed, so of course she wanted to watch the fun.
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
Qi Jing was full of confidence and authenticity.
There, Xu You hugged his wife and sighed, "A Qiao, do you want to see him?"
Some things have happened, some people have existed, and they are destined to be completely forgotten or ignored.
Xu You had envy, jealousy, and blamed and sympathized with Rong Zheng.
The first time I was moved by my wife was on Shangsi Festival.
Both his parents died at that time. He was tired of studying at home, so he wanted to go out for a walk while the spring was shining. As he walked, he saw a girl in a white shirt and green skirt standing under the tree by the lake. The lake wind blew her dress fluttering, and she was as graceful as an immortal.
To this day, Xu You remembers the way his wife looked up at the treetops, her slender neck, fair side face, and anticipation and worrying eyebrows. She also remembers that when a tall boy jumped off the tree with a kite, she smiled happily.
That year he was fifteen, she was fourteen, and Rong Zheng was eighteen.
She is the eldest lady of the Jiang family in the terrible family and does not act like an ordinary lady in the boudoir. Rong Zheng is the servant arranged by her father for her, who is specifically responsible for her guard when she goes out.
Xu You envied Rong Zheng and her childhood sweetheart, and blamed Rong Zheng for not returning to make her sad. When he learned that Rong Zheng had not yet married, he learned that his wife really had no other thoughts about Rong Zheng, Xu You felt at the same time, he felt a little sympathetic to Rong Zheng.
Having tasted the sourness of seeing her in love with others from a distance, he could completely imagine Rong Zheng’s feelings after he knew that he and his wife were really together.
Unfortunately, sympathy is sympathy, he will not let go.
As for his wife, Xu You believed that she would not be moved by the pride anymore, but she must still have concerns in her heart.
So he was willing to let his wife meet Rong Zheng, untie each other's knots, and then go through their own ways.
If he can let go, the two families can be together as old friends in the future, but as both men, Xu You feels that Rong Zheng is still single, he will probably not be able to let go.
"On the day he returns to Beijing, I'll take a look from afar."
Jiang leaned in her husband's arms and said softly.
Rong Zheng was four years older than her. She first regarded him as a big brother she could rely on, but later she became liked by relying on him and liked him very much.
If she hadn't been pregnant at the beginning, she wouldn't have given Xu You the chance to take care of her. She would have been waiting for Rong Zheng, and it wouldn't matter for ten or twenty years.
But she was pregnant with her daughter. In order to give her the best life, she married Xu You and married her, and she inevitably accepted his care.
People are not plants and trees, and Rong Zheng has not come here for a long time. Xu You has been here for ten years, and her heart has been given to Xu You little by little without control.
