Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

The beginning of spring is a day off for civil servants in Datang.

Little Jiang Wangri also got up early and started one of his favorite projects, pasting Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu". This year on the beginning of spring, he was not only able to paste Spring Festival couplets, but as the family conditions improved, Jiang's mother also specially approved the purchase of Spring plaques, Spring oxen, and Spring paintings.

Of course, it's still a bargain.

He was so busy that he wished he had two Hot Wheels on his feet, fearing that if he was a step slower, these things would be snatched away by Xia Zhenying.

Xia Zhenying was so angry that she jumped up and down in the yard and quarreled with him while combing her hair. She said that he would cut open the belly of a mosquito to scrape off the fat, and she would never share a bite of food with him again.

The power of dim sum is undoubtedly huge, especially since Xia Zhenying gave most of her earnings to Old Madam Xia, but she still had a lot of pocket money in her hands, and was richer than Jiang Wangri - Jiang's mother said that if a man had money in his hands, it would easily ruin the family's feng shui.

Jiang Wangri was afraid that Xia Zhenying would keep her word and not share the snacks she bought with him next time. He angrily retorted that she only knew how to threaten people with snacks, and then he picked and chose a piece of the Spring Ox in his hand and gave it to her: "You put one on first, what if you don't put it on well!"

The women in the Jiang family all scoffed at this statement. This kid is just pure and stingy!

Jiang Shangxian was wearing a Shanlan round-necked robe today, with a Ji Cui belt around her waist. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, packing her belongings into a crooked little shoulder bag she had sewn: a poisoned whip. In order to prevent herself from accidentally hurting herself, she wrapped it in a layer of linen before putting it in the bag.

The boning knife had been successfully replaced with a black dagger. On the dagger was a petal pattern composed of rubies, jadeite, and turquoise that Cui Bianxu had specially ordered to be inlaid. Cui Bianxu pondered it all night and felt that it would be better for the young lady to be more fancy, so he also poisoned it.

Finally, there was a sleeve arrow in each hand. She didn't bring the small arrow for endurance. Jiang Shangxian felt that there were three arrows on each side, a total of six arrows. If she had not escaped after using them all, she would probably not have the chance to load new ones. It was better to save her energy.

When Jiang's mother saw her come out, her eyes lit up: "Oh, this dress is beautiful. That's why they say that the needlework of wealthy families is so good. It's much better than what we make ourselves."

Then her eyes fell on the small shoulder bag she was carrying, and she bared her teeth in disdain: "Why do you have to carry this shabby bag? It's sewn so ugly. Aren't you afraid that Cui Shaoqing will dislike it?"

Old Lady Xia also despised her, but she didn't mention her granddaughter, she only talked about her own daughter: "You know that Nian Nu is not good at sewing, and you, as her mother, don't even help her. You just know how to make sarcastic remarks! You are messing around and don't know what to do."

Hearing her mother scolding him in her hometown dialect, Jiang's mother curled her lips but didn't dare to retort: ​​"Yes, I'll make it for her tonight when I'm guarding the stove!"

Although Jiang Wangri didn't understand what was being said, he knew it was an insult, and immediately imitated Xia Zhenying and scolded her: "You're messing around, you don't even know what you're doing!"

Xia Zhenying was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and cursed him in her hometown dialect: "Nong Di Yan Da!"

Jiang Wangri said that these words did not hurt him at all. He did not understand anyway, so he just imitated her to curse. She imitated every word Xia Zhenying cursed. She was so angry that she raised her little fist to hit her.

Jiang Shangxian was truly impressed. It had only been a short time. Could it be that this child's rebellious phase had already begun so quickly? It wasn't like this last year! This year, it's already extremely annoying!

"Jiang Wangri! If you bully Zhenying again, I'll beat you to death!" Jiang Shangxian naturally wanted to help his little cousin. With so many things, this kid had to carry them all by himself. It was outrageous! How could a boy be so stingy!

Since she started learning martial arts, Jiang Shangxian's sister's deterrent power has been growing day by day. As soon as she spoke, Jiang Wangri became listless, pouted his mouth, and reluctantly prepared to share some of his things with Xia Zhenying.

Just then, there was a knock on the Jiang family's door.

Jiang's mother quickly signaled them not to say a word. The person who came at this time must be Cui Bianxu, and they couldn't let the son-in-law who hadn't been obtained yet fly away.

The small courtyard suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Jiang's mother's footsteps trotting to open the door. Jiang Shangxian took the opportunity to straighten his freshly combed hair and walked towards the door in small steps.

"Oh, oh, Cui, Cui Shaoqing, what are you doing?" Jiang's mother was surprised with an uncontrollable joy, and her back looked anxious and at a loss.

Jiang Wangri thought something had happened, so he stuffed everything in his hand into Xia Zhenying's hand and rushed over: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Then, his back froze, just like Jiang's mother. Jiang Shangxian's heart skipped a beat. What on earth had happened to these two people?! He quickened his pace and walked over. Another confused person appeared: "Young Master, you, you..."

"Hurry! Help me over!" Old Lady Xia was extremely panicked. Seeing the three of them standing there stupidly, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked out, not forgetting to ask Xia Zhenying to help her.

At her age, if she falls it’s no joke!

When the two of them walked to the door and pushed aside the three people who were blocking their way, no matter how successful Madam Xia was, she widened her eyes to see that there were more than a dozen people standing outside the door, led by Cui Bianxu and an unfamiliar woman who looked like an official matchmaker.

Fortunately, although she was old, her reaction was quick. A big smile instantly bloomed on her face, like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Oh, Cui Shaoqing, what are you doing? Quick, quick, come in, come in! Suhua! Quick! Go boil some water! Zhenying, go, clean up the room!"

After Mrs. Xia realized what was happening, she immediately started arranging people to work. There were already a lot of people watching outside, so she had to invite them all into the house first.

Cui Bianxu bowed to her, his eyes falling on the stunned Jiang Shangxian. The official matchmaker, extremely experienced, stepped forward first, his smile even more fervent than Old Madam Xia's. He immediately shook her hand and walked in, "Old Madam, I'm here today for a very happy event. Oh, how many years have I been working as an official matchmaker, and this is the first time I've encountered such a happy thing!"

Jiang Wangri stared with his round eyes, looking at this and that, still a little confused about the situation. However, he had sharp eyes and saw the two people following Cui Bianxu at a glance. Each of them was holding a large cage in their hands. In the cage were brown-gray geese, blinking their little eyes and looking out.

Jiang's mother and Xia Zhenying reacted and ran faster than the other, fearing that something might go wrong if they were even a little slower.

Jiang Shangxian stared at Cui Bianxu in disbelief. What was going on? If she understood correctly, this guy was here to propose marriage?!

No, her plan to pick up a guy hasn't even succeeded yet, so how could she propose marriage right away?!
