Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 465 Cleaning up

Ha ha.

Are you greedy?

Be greedy!

Even though they are soft persimmons, they will occasionally be tough!

Xiao Jiang, with a malicious intent, acted like a fool, grinning at her with bared teeth. She ate three mouthfuls before speaking, just as Jinyang's eyes were about to widen. "This thing is vulgar, unfit for someone as noble as the princess to eat it? Why don't we go eat double-skin milk with Xueyan?"

The steamed buns used for frying are all cold and hard buns that have been left overnight. How can they be eaten by this person?

If you get sick from eating, where can you seek justice?

Jin Yang nodded modestly, his unhappiness slightly relieved: "Let's go."

Dili dili tick~

"Auntie, we're running out of boxes. Should we ask Master Fan to buy a few tomorrow?"

The moon was at its zenith, and the Jiang family courtyard was brightly lit.

Mother Jiang brought a small stool and sat between the open boxes. She carefully stuffed the things that Old Madam Xia had packed into the boxes one by one, and moved back and forth between the two of them, her little face full of distress.

Xiao Jiang lay on his back in bed with his legs crossed, like a boneless person. The notebook he was holding was already filled with notes. "He's only gone for two or three months. It's not like he won't be back. How inconvenient is it to carry so many boxes and crates there and back again?"

Old Madam Xia was constantly packing things, sealing them with oil paper to prevent them from getting damp. "It's not much, not much. When you go out, you need to have everything you need so you don't get flustered when the time comes. It would be wise to buy whatever you need tomorrow."

After carefully folding the oil paper in her hand, she turned to look at Jiang Shangxian, a hint of hesitation on her face: "Nian Nu, you said Jiulang's grandmother won't go back with you this time, right?"

"Well, it's a long way to go. She just came from Guazhou not long ago. She's old, and it's not good for her to be on the road all the time."

Xiao Jiang didn't say that Liu Manqiang didn't want to go because she was unhappy with Cui Zhe and was afraid that something might happen during their wedding. She should not publicize the feud between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law.

Old Madam Xia agreed with this statement: "People of our age can't easily endure the hardship of a bumpy journey. For ordinary people like us, it's fine. Being able to travel in a carriage is a blessing. But for families like them, even if they were to ride in a carriage with thick bedding, I'm afraid they would find it unbearable."

She thought for a moment and said, "I think you should take more things with you. I'm afraid your mother-in-law and aunt won't come back. When you return alone with your guards and servants, it will be more convenient to take more things with you."

"Why don't you come back?" Jiang Shangxian sat up suddenly, crossed his legs on the bed, and looked energetic.

She was actually conflicted, even though Xiao Cui had said that after returning from Qinghe, they would be the only two people left in Chang'an City.

With Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua around, her plan for the Shaxian International Hotel was difficult to implement, but didn’t the three of them get along really well later on?

If they don't come back, I will definitely miss them. They are such a great workforce...

She was too lazy to take care of the inner house, and was also afraid that something might go wrong because of her lack of skills.

Old Madam Xia glanced at her with disdain. "Your aunt is a widow, so if she wanted to come back with you, it would be easy. But your mother-in-law is the mistress of the Cui family's second branch, and she's been wasting months in Chang'an arranging her only son's marriage. Now that she's returned to Qinghe, how can she leave her family's inner household affairs behind and stay with you in Chang'an for a long time?"

Although sons are important, household affairs and one's own husband are more important.

If the mistress of a house is away from home for a long time, wouldn't that just make room for the other girls in the house?

Which mistress would make room for a bunch of concubines who are not presentable enough?

"That won't work."

Jiang Shangxian pouted. She was thinking that once the Shaxian Hotel was established and she had completed her mission and could retire behind the scenes, she would have to get her mother-in-law back.

Life is more interesting with Zhao Yue around. The house will surely be full of chaos and excitement every day. Otherwise, if I am caught by my aunt every day to learn about weddings and funerals, what hope will there be in life?

Besides, her mother-in-law is such a good person, she shouldn’t be trapped in the house in Qinghe all day and worry about the little things that her grandfather can’t control in his pants!

"If I get pregnant, I can always ask my mother-in-law to come and see me, right?" Xiao Jiang shook his head, feeling very helpless.

Who can say no to grandchildren?

It’s good to be close to the next generation!

If she is pregnant and weak and unable to take care of herself, it is only natural for her mother-in-law to come and take care of her, right?

Mother Jiang glared at her, her hands almost raised, but then realized she was too far away to reach, so she could only scold, "You're not even married yet, and you're acting like a child. Aren't you ashamed? Thank goodness your brother and sister aren't here, otherwise they wouldn't have led the child astray."

Xiao Jiang said confidently, "When I get married and don't have a baby for a few years, you'll be worried!"

According to her birth plan, she would have another child when she was about 18 or 19. Any later would cause trouble. After all, Cui Yi was already an older boy at that time, and others of his age would have already become fathers.

People must have the courage to bow to reality and the social environment. Once they go beyond the limit, they will easily get into trouble.

Even Old Madam Xia couldn't stand it any longer: "How dare you say something so unlucky? Bah, bah, bah, children's words are innocent!"

Yingzi quickly followed suit and nodded vigorously: "Pah! Auntie must have two children in three years. It's only right to give birth to a little prince as soon as possible."

She knew it very well. Wasn't it because her mother gave birth to girls one after another that she didn't even dare to speak loudly to her father at home?

Even though she gave birth to her younger brother, her body was so damaged that she couldn't even speak loudly if she wanted to.

It is absolutely impossible to have two children in three years. With this way of giving birth, problems will arise even if there is nothing wrong with the baby.

"What's wrong with giving birth to a lively little girl? Mother, although I am a girl, I am no worse than others. I can take care of the family and earn enough money to feed and drink." On the issue of giving birth to a boy or a girl, although Xiao Jiang felt that what they said made sense and the social situation was right in front of him, he still couldn't help but speak for the girl.

Anyway, it all came out of her belly, so the one who needs to worry is Xiao Cui, huh.

Mother Jiang sighed: "You child."

"Your mother is thinking about you too."

Old Madam Xia shook her head: "Our family is worlds apart from the Cui family. If you can't give birth to a child to carry on the family, I'm afraid..."

"That's all."

She didn't want to say anything that would spoil the fun, so she asked instead, "Are there people guarding the city gates? Jiulang hasn't returned yet, and he's about to leave soon. What should we do?"
