Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

It is not easy for ordinary people to live a good life. Not to mention daughters, even sons are not well educated. How can they come up with all these things?

Jiang Shangxian shook her head very obediently, her smile reminiscent of a shy young lady. "I have a younger brother. When my father was still alive, he was sent to school. Later... he became busy making a living, so he stopped going. Those books were wasted just sitting there. I just read them to pass the time."

It was just a short sentence, and except for the very beginning, the rest was all made up. Jiang Shangxian felt a headache after writing so much. He felt that his wisdom was slipping away bit by bit, and his head would soon be empty.

Zhao Yue pursed her lips. Does this mean self-study? Can such a skill be acquired through self-study? If he were sent to a proper school, wouldn't he be better than her son?

"In addition to learning how to manage the household, women from aristocratic families were required to cultivate the four virtues of filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, and brotherly love from a young age. They were also required to cultivate the six rituals of capping, wedding, funeral, sacrifice, village drinking, village archery, and meeting. After marriage, they were to behave submissively and be filial to their parents-in-law. They were to be simple and modest, cultivate meticulous moral principles, educate their sons with righteousness, and guide their husbands with loyalty and righteousness."

Cui Shuhua explained to her the things she had to learn since childhood, and concluded with a rather arbitrary conclusion: "You haven't learned any of these. If you marry into the Cui family in the future, how will you survive?"

This issue was nothing to Jiang Shangxian, who was gradually finding his feet. "Filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, and brotherly love are the foundation of being a human being. Although I come from a humble background, my elders have taught me these things since I was young, and I dare not neglect them in the slightest. Being filial to my parents-in-law, managing my family with care, and educating my children and supporting my husband are the responsibilities of a mother and a wife."

Who can't brag?

"As for the six etiquettes, Madam, you are in the prime of your life. Just a little guidance from you will be enough to benefit me for the rest of my life." Jiang Shangxian flattered her and thought to himself, 74-year-old Natalie Qing is still in love, and 78-year-old Trump has been recruited in the autumn recruitment. What does this mean?

This means that Xiao Jiang is not incapable, but she is not yet old enough to venture out into the world!

At her age, she just needs to lie down and leave things to her mother-in-law. If her mother-in-law can live a long and healthy life and her future daughter-in-law can marry smoothly, then the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren can take over seamlessly.

What else does she have to do? Is she really needed to take action?

She doesn't like being the head housekeeper! Not everyone is as ambitious as Wang Xifeng!

"Sweet talk and flattery." Cui Shuhua uttered these four words lightly. It sounded unpleasant, but she did not continue to object.

She felt that she was more suited to handling weddings and funerals, and being a wicked mother-in-law was not suitable for her.

Seeing her retreat, Zhao Yue secretly gritted her teeth in her heart. She had really overestimated her in the past, but she was persuaded to retreat with just a few words. Humph!

"After all, you are just attracted by the family background of my Cui family." Zhao Yue said this with a lack of momentum, which was not enough to hurt Jiang Shangxian.

Jiang Shangxian was really not angry about this. Not to mention that Old Madam Xia had warned her not to talk back to her future mother-in-law, she had to agree with whatever the other party said, so as to avoid having the marriage rejected before it was finalized.

"Whatever you say is bullshit. Marry her first. Aristocratic families have respect and won't divorce her easily after she's married." - Quotes from Old Lady Xia.

Try not to lie. The saying that people become more cunning as they grow older is not just a casual saying. Everyone has gone through a period of youth. If you lie in front of your elders, most of the time they can be seen through it. It just depends on whether they want to expose you.

If you must lie because the truth is wrong, then be natural about it. Repeat the lie countless times in your mind until you believe it yourself. — Quotations from Old Lady Xia.

Jiang Shangxian agreed with this. When she walked up to the podium and looked at the students below while reading, she could clearly see them playing with their phones behind their thick stacks of books, or secretly eating snacks with their heads buried under their hands on the table...

Therefore, she blinked her dog eyes sincerely and said something that Zhao and Cui would never forget: "Madam, you are mistaken. I am actually... simply greedy for Cui Lang's beauty."

"Cough cough!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Gaffe! It's really too gaffe!

Suppressed coughs came from the two people's mouths. They really didn't expect that someone would be so direct in front of the elders to say that they were coveting the beauty of the younger ones.

Seeing them so frightened, Jiang Shangxian could no longer sit still. He quickly stood up and poured each of them a cup of tea. "What's going on? I'm speaking the truth. You two are Cui Lang's elders. How dare I lie to you?"

This was the only true thing she said today. It couldn't be more true. Why were they like this?

We are all women, can't you understand?

Zhao Yue was not frightened, she was terrified!

This damn...sense of similarity!

Oh my god! Didn’t she rescue him because she saw that his father was more handsome than anyone else in Guazhou?

Otherwise, why would she risk the hatred of those bandits to save a man?

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, Zhao Yue was certain that this young lady was not timid at all, but was extremely bold and lustful!

After confirming this, Zhao Yue felt that there were some things that she could not say in front of Cui Shuhua. She had to find a chance to talk to Jiang Shangxian alone. When people are young, they really can't be easily seduced by beauty!

She was still beating her chest and stamping her feet in pain, wasn't it because Cui Zhe, despite his age, had maintained his figure and appearance, appearing gentle and elegant? Every time she looked at that face, no matter how many times she saw it, her heart would still flutter, so she chose to continue to endure it.

"Stop talking about this, this..."

Cui Shuhua's only concern for matters between men and women was with her deceased fiancé, whom she had only met twice. This statement had a profound impact on her, and her composure, which had been maintained for over thirty years, collapsed in shame. "You must never say this to anyone! Remember this!"

"remember!"

Jiang Shangxian grinned at her naively, "Isn't it that I feel particularly close to both of you ladies right from the start? As soon as I see you, I can't hide my true feelings."

"It doesn't have to be this way!"

The large white teeth stimulated Cui Shuhua, whose voice had remained flat until she raised it, and she leaned back in shock. "You, you should save this for your future mother-in-law!"

Don't tell her, she doesn't want to know at all!

Future mother-in-law Zhao Yue: .....

"It's late today, and I have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll just stay here first..."

Why should I tell her?! What can she do?

Jiang Shangxian stood up suddenly, put on a warm smile, and imitated the way his mother always greeted Cui Bianxu, and saw them out attentively. "We are all in Chang'an now, and we are all relatives. We have a lot of time to come together. If you two ladies are not busy one day, please come again. Let me know in advance, and I will personally prepare a table full of delicious dishes..."
