Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 400: Didn't Say I Could Fight

It was Lian Huan who came in to rescue her: "Old lady, Madam, Miss Jiang is here."

Liu Manqiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a relaxed expression, "You are going to marry your daughter-in-law soon, and you are still obsessed with love affairs. Aren't you afraid that your grandchildren will laugh at you in the future? Hurry up and put on that face, don't be ashamed."

Zhao Yue pouted, snorted, turned her face aside and muttered softly: "Nian slave can't do it!"

They are fellow travelers!

Xiao Jiang was very familiar with the Cui Mansion. He gave a food box to Qiaoxiang and asked her to run an errand to deliver it to Mr. Zhang in Wodong. Then he followed the little girl into Zhao Yue's yard.

"Madam, Madam."

After Jiang Shangxian bowed, she stood there obediently, allowing people to look at her. She had a round face with curved eyebrows and eyes. When she smiled a little, her eyes sparkled as if they could speak, and she looked particularly festive.

Ever since she entered the room, Liu Manqiang and Zheng Qiuyi had been looking at her. The young lady was dressed neatly and did not wear too many jewelries, which was not out of the ordinary.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was soft but not artificial, and sounded very...friendly.

Yes, harmonious.

Just by listening to her speak, you can tell that she is a kind and easy-going person.

Liu Manqiang and Zheng Qiuyi were used to seeing bold and lively women in Guazhou, but this was the first time they had seen a woman as gentle and non-aggressive as Jiang Shangxian, who was like a spring breeze.

Both of them couldn't help but nod slightly. It was not bad looking at her this way. She was not a great beauty, but the facial features put together were pleasing to the eye.

Jiulang's stern face can be neutralized a little by marrying a woman like this.

Zhao Yue didn't know that the two of them were also helping her find a daughter-in-law. In her opinion, this was a settled matter, and her mother only needed to prepare the generous gifts.

"Nian Nu, this is Jiulang's grandmother. She just arrived yesterday. When she heard your aunt and I say hello to you, she was eager to meet you. Is your family busy today?" She waved her hand and called Jiang Shangxian to sit in front of her. She was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable meeting a stranger, so she kept holding her hand.

In the last gang fight, although Xiao Jiang fought very hard, the image of her sticking her butt out and timidly changing her sleeve arrows was too deeply rooted in people's minds. In Zhao Yue's eyes, she was still that timid coward.

Jiang Shangxian was neither timid nor flattering. His eyes curved as if he had met a close elder. "The old lady is indeed just like Madam, and she makes people feel close to her."

"That's natural."

Zhao Yue raised her chin proudly towards her: "Ever since I was little, people have said that I look a lot like my mother. I can even see some of her in Jiulang's face."

What a talented gene these two mothers have inherited!

Jiang Shangxian: ....

In the next yard, Cui Shuhua was still making incense. Rich families had many places to use incense, such as in the garden, in the yard, in the house, in the study, and even in the toilet. The incense was different in every place, and there were particular requirements for each place.

It was cold and she didn't like to go out, so she made some more incense when she had nothing to do. When Jiang Shangxian got married, she would have some ready-made incense.

"Madam, Madam Liu went to Madam Zhao's place."

"Go ahead. Mother and daughter will naturally have endless things to talk about when they reunite." Cui Shuhua was not interested in joining in the fun.

Although Old Madam Liu is the elder, she had already gone to welcome the bride yesterday, and that was enough.

How could the Zhao family of Dunhuang be compared with the Cui family of Qinghe? As a daughter of the Cui family, she didn't have to entertain guests every day.

"I just saw Miss Jiang go there too. I asked her and she said that Madam Liu sent someone to say she wanted to see Miss Jiang early in the morning."

"what?"

Cui Shuhua felt uneasy as she made incense: "Why are you so anxious?"

She originally thought that since the person had just arrived, she should wait for a few days.

Are you so anxious because you despise Nian Nu for his low birth?

Cui Shuhua thought much more than Zhao Yue. It was really because Liu Manqiang came too suddenly. She originally thought that Nian Nu would definitely encounter some difficulties when he returned to Qinghe, so she and Zhao Yue would just protect him. Unexpectedly, an accident happened so suddenly.

"Quick, bring me my cloak!" She was not as physically fit as Zhao Yue and the others who had practiced martial arts, so she had to wrap herself warmly whenever she went out.

Fearing that Jiang Shangxian might be bullied, Cui Shuhua hurried to Zhao Yue's courtyard, her expression finally coming to her senses. Once she was outside and could hear Zhao Yue's faint laughter, she slowed down and signaled the maid to lift the curtain.

"Second sister-in-law was playing here without telling me. Fortunately, my maid heard it."

The first thing Cui Shuhua did when she entered the room was to look around. Seeing Jiang Shangxian eating a plate of fruit obediently, she felt relieved and said something naughty to tease him.

"You've always been very afraid of the cold and wouldn't go out in winter. How could I dare to trouble you to come and keep me company?"

The relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law was good now. Zhao Yue said to the maids who were grinning in the room, "Why don't you bring the cushions over quickly? If our aunt gets cold, you guys will be the first to eat!"

Cui Shuhua glanced at her but didn't refuse. Even though there was a heater in the room, she would have felt cold and uncomfortable if the chair hadn't been padded with soft cushions. "Madam Liu, did you sleep well last night?"

"I'm fine. It's hard for you to come and see me, an old woman, in such a cold weather." Liu Manqiang could see that although she had not said a word to Jiang Shangxian or mentioned her since she entered the room, the two of them had exchanged glances several times.

Didn’t you see that girl was like a rat that had eaten lamp oil when she saw this aunt?

Cui Shuhua sat next to Jiang Shangxian. Seeing that there was no cushion under her butt, she felt her hand and felt at ease. She wondered why this child was like a furnace, but she still had a smile on her face. "Anyway, there's nothing going on today. If it were just Old Madam Liu and Second Sister-in-law, I really wouldn't feel comfortable coming over to disturb them. I heard that Nian Nu was here too, so I thought I'd join in the fun."

It has to be said that her arrival really saved Jiang Shangxian to some extent.

Although Liu Manqiang asked her some questions, they were all common questions. She didn't think there was anything she couldn't say, so she just told the truth.

But she asked about her own homework!

Xiao Jiang's academic performance is far ahead in Mr. Zhang's Mengsheng class, but that's because of the comparison with his classmates. If he is taken outside, he will not be so good.

After the cultural classes, things got even more dramatic when it came to the martial arts class. She actually tried to invite me to fight a few moves.

Listen, is this human language?

Cui Bianxu didn't tell her whether she could fight her grandmother. Looking at the old lady's white hair, she didn't dare to fight her. The bones of the elderly are fragile. If she broke a bone, what would happen to her, Xiao Jiang!

The male model hasn’t even finished sleeping yet, he must not die halfway!
