After washing up in the evening, Ji Song lay with You Ning in his arms, doing nothing but talking in a low voice.
"Husband!"
"Um?"
You Ning raised his head and looked at Ji Song.
"What do you think we will be like in the future?"
Ji Song was stunned, looked at the top of the bed, and said in a daze: "I don't know either!"
"oh!"
You Ning was a little disappointed, expecting to say something sweet.
Ji Song looked down at his depressed wife and tightened her body.
"If you marry me, I don't know what will happen in the future, but what I can guarantee is that no matter when, you, Huan Niang, will be someone I can protect with my life."
"I am a duckweed in this world. I originally wanted to live a good life in my original Jiangjia'ao, teach at the same time, and leave some wealth for the Ji family who has been lonely for a long time."
"But I didn't expect that I would be where I am today. Sometimes I think that if Uncle Xie hadn't passed by Jiangjia'ao, maybe nothing would have happened next."
"My aunt will not be treated by me, nor will she know His Majesty, nor will she be knighted."
"Perhaps I will complete my father's revenge in silence, and then return to Jiangjia'ao, marry a virtuous wife under the arrangement of my mother, give birth to a son and a half daughters, and leave descendants to the Ji family."
"Then I will raise them into adults. If they have good abilities, they will enter official careers. But if they have mediocre abilities, I will arrange for them to go sightseeing."
"Go out to sea on a sea ship to appreciate the majesty of the sea. Finally, in your lifetime, go to the other side of the sea to find a few things and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty."
"Then, maybe I will return to the place where I was born and wait for death!"
Ji Song's eyes were bright, as if he was yearning for that kind of life.
"No, don't! I don't want my husband to be like this." You Ning held on to Ji Song with all his might, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go.
She said with a tearful voice: "I am lucky to have met my husband. I don't know why. No matter how you teased me when you were a child, I will never be angry. I will always think of you."
"You don't know how happy I was when I found out we were engaged. I've never been so happy. I wake up laughing even in my dreams!"
Ji Song patted her back and said helplessly: "Isn't that true? How can I be so charming?"
"Huh! Yes."
You Ning arched into Ji Song's arms unconvinced, as if protesting his words.
"Father said that the first time he saw you, he felt that you were incompatible with Datang. You seemed to be in a detached position, but you also had an involuntary feeling of closeness."
"If I get along with you for a long time, I will become close to you."
Ji Song smiled bitterly, of course he knew why.
He has never left Jiangjia'ao since he was born, and spends his time with a group of poor tribesmen every day.
The only way to know the outside is what Ji's father told him every time he came back.
This prevented him from assimilating to this era for a long time. Whether it was thinking or behavior, he more or less maintained the habits of his predecessors.
Until he met Xie Lian, although they had only been together for less than a month, he had a systematic understanding of this era and was infected by Xie Lian, a traditional scholar-official.
In the following time, he met Princess Pingyang, for which he was knighted, met Li Shimin, and met many, many people.
When he got along with them, he was slowly assimilated by them.
You Ning changed into a comfortable position in Ji Song's arms and continued: "Do you know how worried I was about you after I found out you were going to fight in the north?"
She chuckled as she said this.
It makes me laugh when I think of the family that was so troubled by me.
"You!"
Ji Song tapped her forehead angrily and said helplessly: "Since your husband and I have become the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, it is inevitable to go to the battlefield."
"How can I feel at ease outside if I keep making trouble like this every time?"
But You Ning refused: "I don't care, I'm just making trouble and don't want you to go to the battlefield. There are so many generals in the Tang Dynasty, why is it your turn every time?"
"What should I do if you have something? What should my mother do? What will they do if they have children in the future?"
As he spoke, You Ning started crying.
Ji Song smiled bitterly and said: "There are some things I can't help myself with. The support of my tribe, the love of my mother, and now I have you, and I will have children in the future."
"In my current position, I have reached the point where I will either advance or retreat. There is no way out. You should have such a consciousness when you marry me!"
"No matter what happens in the future, you must live well, take care of my mother until she is old, and raise your children well. With our family's current status and wealth, you will all live a good life."
"I will be grateful to you forever even if..."
You Ning started working suddenly, regardless of his physical discomfort. He looked at Ji Song with wide eyes and said loudly: "No, if you... I will never live alone..."
Ji Song covered her mouth and said helplessly: "I'm just saying that if, your husband, I will always prepare for the worst. Things are not as serious as you think. I just want to be prepared so that you can have peace of mind!"
"I don't care about this. You are mine now. I won't allow you to do this. We will definitely live a happy life together, right?"
You Ning suddenly became anxious and looked at Ji Song hopefully, waiting for him to give him a satisfactory answer!
Ji Song hugged her tightly, looked at the top of the bed, and whispered: "You can do it, you will definitely do it..."
After hearing her husband's words, she smiled with satisfaction. Brother Song had never lied to her before, and it must be the same this time, she thought stubbornly.
Ji Song didn't know what would happen to him in the future. He didn't dare to make any guarantees, thinking of Li Shimin's recent layout and the increasing number of books in the palace.
He knew very well what the emperor wanted to do, but it was because he knew it that he felt worried!
With the dividends of the war and the arrival of prosperity, the family's strength has also been greatly enhanced, which made Li Shimin feel uneasy.
Now that he had finally suppressed the family, he would never allow them to come back again.
There was constant turmoil in the court, and he, as a Marquis, could only be cannon fodder. He had already thought about resigning from all his posts as soon as this period of time was over and returned to teach at Zhuangzi.
I will never participate in this matter, even if it offends the emperor!
Now that he is no longer alone, he is married, which means that he can no longer do things as carelessly as before, and it is time to do something for himself.
Looking down and seeing You Ning sleeping soundly, he let go of his hand and wanted to put her down.
"Don't...don't leave You Ning..."
Ji Song smiled bitterly as he looked at You Ning who hugged him tightly again, and could only hug her before he became quiet.
Looking at the person in his arms, how could he have such a wife?
But now that he has it, there is no reason not to cherish it. From now on, he will live for his wife, children and mother. What does other things have to do with him?
If things go wrong, the worst they can do is take a boat out to sea. Overseas is such a big place that there is always room for their family... .
