Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Rubbing his big and second toes back and forth, Jiang Shangxian generated his own heat and rushed towards him decisively. Being cold was one thing, but Jian Ming's whimpering cries were the true devil's voice! She should have her mother come over and scold her, and then she'd behave herself.

Cry, cry, cry, all your blessings are gone!

"Do you want to eat?" The room was very warm. Jiang Shangxian put the bamboo basket on the table, took off his sheepskin coat, and motioned Zhao Shan to take it and eat it himself.

Zhao Shan stared at her face, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he moved closer to her: "Why are you bleeding from the nose?"

Jiang Shangxian's face was numb from being outside in the cold. She hadn't noticed anything was wrong with it at all. Only after hearing what he said did she feel an itch on her face. She reached out to touch it, but Zhao Shan quickly handed her a handkerchief. "Wipe it off quickly! Are you getting a sore throat? You too, don't worry. They're treating it inside, and the Cui family's guards have already reported to Qinghe."

The Cui family has been entrenched for so many years, and their wealth is beyond the imagination of the world. If this end doesn't work, it should be fine to find a way to hang on to his life and wait for the Cui family to find a solution.

When she wiped it with a handkerchief, she found that it was indeed a bright red nosebleed. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she was still young and didn't need to put on makeup, otherwise her makeup would be removed by wiping it.

Zhao Shan didn't know about her temporary job at the Dali Temple. When he lifted the cloth covering her head and touched the buns, he suddenly started to sob: "Cui Yi loves the food you cook the most. Now, now you come to bring him food in person, but he, he can't eat it..."

Jiang Shangxian paused, closed his eyes, and exhaled, "What happened to Cui Bianxu? Explain clearly."

When will Wang Mingqian come out? She really needs a normal person to ask about the situation.

Zhao Shan paused as he was hesitating between eating a cake or a bun. He picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it with a look of self-abandonment before saying, "He was scratched by a cat when he was catching a criminal last night..."

The situation inside might be a bit complicated. Although Zhao Shan wasn't allowed to go in and see the treatment, just hearing his description of the injuries gave Jiang Shangxian goosebumps. Otherwise, how could communism still be number one in the world? The rule that no spirits were allowed after the founding of the country alone was a complete victory.

This matter sounded too bizarre, and Jiang Shangxian knew nothing about medical issues, so she had to sit with him. As time passed, her nose continued to bleed. Although the amount was not large, it was quite scary. The door still showed no sign of opening, so she had to say goodbye to Zhao Shan and go back to continue cooking.

She tilted her head back, held her nose with a handkerchief, and walked with her eyes squinting. She looked very strange. When Jiang Shangxian was in modern times, she had a nosebleed only once since she was a child. That was when she was in elementary school. She was so happy that she could tilt her head back and not listen to the class just because she had a nosebleed. The teacher approved it.

There was no one in the cafeteria. Jiang's mother was filling a bamboo basket with buns and pies. Seeing her return empty-handed, she became anxious: "Where's the basket? There are still many here..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the handkerchief in Jiang Shangxian's hand and the faint red mark under his nose, and immediately jumped up: "What happened? You went to deliver some food and got beaten up? How did they beat you like this?"

After rushing over and seeing the blood-soaked handkerchief in Jiang Shangxian's hand, Jiang's mother's eyes turned red: "Who did this?! Who beat you up like this?! I'm going to find him!"

Jiang Shangxian hadn't expected her mother to have such extreme ideas. She was an honest person, so why would she get beaten for no reason? She quickly stopped Jiang's mother as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to leave: "Mother, no one hit me. I don't know why, but I suddenly started bleeding from the nose and can't stop it. Maybe I got angry."

Huang Niangzi and Xu Niangzi, who had just watched this scene without daring to say a word, also came over and pulled people over: "Madam Jiang, this is the Dali Temple. Your wife was specially invited by Cui Shaoqing. Everyone who has seen her these past two days has been polite. Moreover, who would have the heart to hit such a beautiful and fair young lady who is as beautiful as a steamed bun?"

Madam Xu looked at Jiang Shangxian's nostrils carefully for a while and said, "It's New Year's Day. Maybe you ate too much meat and got a sore throat. Eating millet porridge for a few days will clear your stomach and you'll be fine."

There was indeed a saying that one should clear their stomach when sick. Jiang's mother thought it made sense, and her expression softened. She patted Jiang Shangxian on the back and said, "You're so greedy. You eat so much all day long. Look at you these days. You've gained so much weight, like rising dough! Only millet porridge is allowed for the next few days!"

Jiang Shangxian's face immediately fell. He said he was fat and could only eat millet porridge. What fun would there be in life if he only ate millet porridge? She wasn't really fat, okay? She was 1.6 meters tall and weighed about 90 kilograms, not even 100 kilograms! Isn't that just right!

A man of insight is a hero. Just be patient for now! Once she starts working at Lexianlou, she can have a good meal!

At lunch time, Jiang Shangxian took the lunch box to deliver food to Zhao Shan and to see if she could meet Cui Bianxu. Of course, Jiang's mother reminded her three times this time, asking her to bring the bamboo basket back and not to affect her business of making money.

Today's lunch is Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Crucian Carp with Scallions, Cabbage and Vermicelli Stew, and Hu La Tang, which I miss especially after three meals.

There were many people over there, and she couldn't carry so much by herself, so she specially detained the guards who were coming to eat to help carry it. On the way, she asked the guards about the situation, but they didn't know much more than she did.

"We went to Qinghe to report the news early this morning, but we didn't know what the road conditions outside were like in such a cold weather." The guards were naturally worried. Every member of the Cui family had a guard since childhood. In order to ensure their loyalty, the guards were three or four years older than their masters and grew up together, so the relationship between them was naturally very deep.

If something really happened to Cui Bianxu, these guards would not survive, and they would not be able to go with other members of the Cui family. Of course, others would not want guards like them who neglected their duties.

If the road from Chang'an to Qinghe is difficult to travel due to heavy snow, even if one rides at full speed, it will probably take ten days to half a month. Jiang Shangxian felt that if this plan failed, Wang Mingqian would have to find more medical officers to come up with a solution.

When they got there, Zhao Shan rushed out immediately. He knew Jiang Shangxian would come to deliver lunch, so he had been waiting for him. The first thing he said when they met was, "Cui Yi should be fine."

Jiang Shangxian's mind suddenly exploded with joy. She stuffed the food box in her hand into his arms, picked up her skirt and ran to Cui Bianxu's room: "Really?! Is he awake now? Can I go see him?"

"Oh! Wait a minute! The inside is not cleaned up yet!" Because she was happy, she used a lot of force, and Zhao Shan was pushed back two steps.

As a good brother, he felt that he should still protect Cui Yi's dignity!
