Facing Cao Ping's disdain, Xiao Jing'an asked in a strange way, "General Cao, are you engaged?"
Cao Ping frowned slightly and asked, "What does it have to do with you?"
Xiao Jing'an, however, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood instantly, and said with a playful smile: "You haven't gotten engaged yet, right? What do you think of me?"
The soldiers around who heard this sentence: "..."
Cao Ping: "..."
Xiao Jing'an ignored the looks of others and continued: "General Cao, I fall in love with you. Whether it's marrying you or not, I'm willing to marry you!"
Cao Ping was stunned by such remarks. She had never looked at Xiao Jing'an through the eyes of her daughter's family.
Listening to Xiao Jing'an say this at this moment, she actually felt some ripples deep in her heart.
Cao Ping retracted his thoughts and said seriously: "You and I are both men, how can we get married? I don't have a habit of cutting off my sleeves."
Xiao Jing'an did not realize that she was being rejected, so she asked again at a time when no outsiders were present.
Cao Ping's answer to him this time was that she would be ordered to stay here and not get married for the time being. She would return to Beijing in the future and she would have to obey her parents' orders regarding marriage matters.
Xiao Jing'an understood now and wrote to her parents overnight, asking them to go to Cao's house to propose marriage.
The couple who received the letter were confused and had no idea what their second son was trying to do.
They asked about Miss Cao's personality and were extremely satisfied when they heard that she had practiced martial arts since childhood.
It's similar to their Xiao family's family tradition, so it's feasible.
So the two of them actually asked someone to come to their house to talk about their marriage.
Cao Ping's father worked in the Ministry of Industry and had almost no contact with the Xiao family on weekdays. Now that he saw someone from the Xiao family coming to visit, Mr. Cao didn't understand the purpose of this at all.
After the Xiao family explained the situation, Mr. Cao thought of his daughter who was far away in the military camp, and mistakenly thought that two young people were in love with each other, so he agreed to the marriage on his daughter's behalf, and at the same time wrote a letter of blessing to his daughter.
His daughter, who only knows how to dance with swords and sticks, finally has the one he likes.
Cao Ping didn't know what was happening in the capital yet. She was annoyed by Xiao Jing'an every day. Xiao Jing'an would always send her various things from time to time. Cao Ping started to have a headache.
I simply found time to have a frank talk with him.
Cao Ping said: "I only know how to practice martial arts. I am not interested in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that my daughter's family is good at. I don't plan to marry and be a woman in the back house in the future. I just want to show my ambition like a man."
She was able to enter the military camp in exchange for her grandfather's past achievements.
She has no brothers in her family. Cao Ping has been raised as a boy since she was a child. Her temperament is different from that of ordinary girls. She has never wanted to get married and have children.
I thought that Xiao Jing'an would regret hearing such words and give up, but he didn't expect that he would smile and say: "What a coincidence, I can only practice martial arts. We are really a match made in heaven."
Cao Ping choked and said again: "Your parents will not agree to this marriage."
Xiao Jing'an said confidently: "Yes, they will definitely agree. Both men and women in our family have been practicing martial arts since childhood, so how could we not like our daughter-in-law practicing martial arts?"
Cao Ping: "..." What should I do if I can't find a rebuttal?
Cao Ping was not good at speaking, and he didn't know how to refute in just a few words.
Xiao Jing'an put away her usual casualness and said with a serious face: "General Cao, I hope you can give me a chance. Let's get to know each other seriously and try to get along for a while. If you still have no feelings for me after a month, then I will
No more entanglements.”
Cao Ping was noncommittal, but Xiao Jing'an just assumed that she agreed.
After the words were clarified, Xiao Jing'an showed his kindness to Cao Ping even more unscrupulously, so much so that the soldiers thought that a pair of short-sleeved shirts appeared in the military camp...
Cao Ping was shamefully moved by Xiao Jing'an's repeated advances.
So when his father's letter arrived, Cao Ping didn't feel depressed, but he felt like a big stone had fallen in his heart.
The Xiao family was actually willing to accept her like this...
Although Cao Ping was not good at words, she was not shy. After she figured it out, she immediately found Xiao Jing'an.
Cao Ping's face remained unchanged as he said, "I think I might also be interested in you. Since you and I have decided to get married, let's get married when we return to Beijing."
When Xiao Jing'an heard this, she excitedly picked up Cao Ping and spun him around.
The corners of Cao Ping's lips curled up slightly.
When Xiao Jing'an realized that he was rude, he quickly put Cao Ping down and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too happy, so..."
Cao Ping had no intention of arguing with him and interrupted him, "Just be more careful in the future, but I don't want people in the military camp to know that I am a woman, so you should be more careful in the future."
Xiao Jing'an nodded to express his understanding.
In the days that followed, Xiao Jing'an did restrain her behavior and was no longer so ostentatious, but she never missed the gifts she should give.
When going to nearby towns, Xiao Jing'an would also buy some things for her daughter's household and give them to Cao Ping.
Cao Ping looked at the hairpins and rings placed on the table and shook his head unconsciously.
Two years later, the two were recalled to Beijing.
In fact, according to the past, Xiao Jing'an and Cao Ping only stayed in the military camp for three years, so there was no need to call them back so early.
The reason for this was that Mrs. Gu was whispering in Xiao Xixi's ears that Xiao Jing'an was getting older and older but was still delaying getting married. It would be fine if there was no suitable candidate. He was just keeping his future wife, and it was unreasonable to delay it like this.
Yes, Mrs. Gu also already knew about Cao Ping's stay in the military camp. Instead of feeling it was inappropriate, she was very interested in this girl Cao Ping.
It’s interesting to think about the fact that my daughter’s family went to the military camp alone.
When Cao Ping came back, he received courtesy from the Gu family.
What the Xiao family means is that since the two of them are committed to each other, they will not interfere too much, but the marriage must be completed.
Master Cao saw that the Xiao family had no intention of confining their daughter to the back house, so he was naturally happy to see it happen.
Xiao Jing'an and Cao Ping got married after returning to Beijing. They only stayed in the capital for a few months, and then packed their bags and went to the frontier.
It's just that the two of them are already married and can't continue to be brothers when they go to the military camp, so they go together as husband and wife.
Leng Moran ordered the two of them to go together, and the others would not say anything.
As for the explanation from the military camp, Xiao Jing'an only said that she was Cao Ping's sister, while Cao Ping stayed in the capital.
After putting on women's clothing, although Cao Ping lost his heroic spirit, he still stood tall and graceful.
No one could have imagined that their former General Cao was actually a daughter.
Cao Ping changed into women's clothes and also participated in the affairs of the military camp. The difference from before was that apart from the identity of her daughter's family being revealed to the public, she probably had an extra person to sleep with.
Xiao Jing'an was considerate and considerate to Cao Ping. He used to be irritable and irritable, but he became more considerate after having a sweetheart.
Now that she has become a wife, Xiao Jing'an's carefulness has become more and more obvious.
Cao Ping, who was always cold in the past, now has a little more smile on his face.
