Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

The two's playful banter caused Yanxia to step back and cover her mouth with her hands, laughing secretly: "Miss Jiang, it seems that Master Zhao hasn't figured it out yet. You always have a lot of ideas. How about you think of a solution?"

Jiang Shangxian tilted her head and tried to think of a good idea. Unfortunately, although she succeeded in hooking up with the handsome guy, she actually didn't have enough experience. It mainly depended on the handsome guy's initiative and quick action. Otherwise, she would still be trying hard to find a way to hook up with Cui Bianxu.

"Wu Niang, why don't you talk to your mother?" Li Xueyan is only thirteen years old now. It is definitely too early for her to get married, but she can get engaged first. After the engagement, Li Shimin will not choose her when he chooses a partner, right?

Unexpectedly, Li Xueyan's face suddenly turned bitter: "My mother doesn't agree."

Yanxia rubbed her butt subconsciously. Just for this, she was beaten ten times!

"Tsk, this is troublesome." If the Jiangxia County Prince and his wife do not agree, it will be useless even if Li Xueyan seduces Zhao Shan.

"It's fine if my mother doesn't agree, but she also has her eyes on Wang Mingqian!"

Li Xueyan was going crazy: "It was when the Jinwu Guards escorted us to Luoyang last time, and I went to ask Wang Mingqian for some private lessons. My mother thought that he and I would be a good match. It really is..."

"Huh....."

Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but baring his teeth in disgust. Even Wang Mingqian wouldn't agree to this. Although marrying a wife is the same thing, it's disgusting that the wife had coveted his best friend.

If this really happens, won't I have no contact with Zhao Shan for the rest of my life?

She even began to sympathize with Li Xueyan: "Your mother really likes to match people up randomly..."

"No!"

Li Xueyan said angrily, "My mother said that although the Wang family of Taiyuan is not as powerful as before, they were once among the Three Dukes. I am only a daughter of the imperial clan. If I could marry him, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than marrying the Zhao family?"

This is not wrong. Although it is a bit declining now, the principle that a lean camel is bigger than a horse is applicable everywhere. Wang Yun, a famous official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was from the Wang family of Taiyuan. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the family developed steadily, produced many talents, and became prominent. Although it is declining now, there are still Wang Bo, Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Changling behind it. All three of them are from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Even the somewhat foolish Queen Wang of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

From this perspective, the Princess of Jiangxia County has made careful plans for her daughter.

After all, Li Xueyan is just the daughter of a prince, and the prince of Jiangxia is still unemployed at home!

"What the Princess said makes a lot of sense..." Jiang Shangxian felt that, apart from the fact that Wang Mingqian and Zhao Shan were good friends, everything the Princess of Jiangxia County considered made a lot of sense.

"Auntie Jiang!" Li Xueyan clenched her fists: "Who are you on the same side with?!!!"

"you you you!"

Jiang Shangxian quickly tried to appease her, "I'm analyzing this rationally. Your mother is right, but if we analyze it from a romantic perspective, it's definitely not right, right? You like Zhao Shan, right?"

"Hmm..." Li Xueyan made a long nasal sound with an expression that said, "Let me see how you make this up."

"But think about it, if we really fight with Tubo, and His Majesty wants to choose another princess for marriage, does he have to choose from among the daughters of the royal family?" She analyzed it seriously, and felt that she had used too much brain cells today.

Li Xueyan opened her mouth to say that His Majesty also had many princesses, but she swallowed the words back. There were many princesses, but the ones His Majesty used for marriage were not his own daughters.

Jiang Shangxian looked at her expression and saw that she had listened a little, so he quickly continued, "Although you are young now, fighting a war is not a matter of one day or one night. When the war really starts, it will take a year or two. Wouldn't your age be just right? Besides, it takes a year or two to prepare for the princess's wedding..."

Then we went all the way from Chang'an to Tibet. Wow, when we got there, we were just of childbearing age, so we went straight into the bridal chamber!

The more she talked about it, the more her scalp tingled. She couldn't be so unlucky that Li Xueyan was chosen among so many royal family girls?

"If you have a way to settle the marriage with Zhao Shan as soon as possible, that's fine. If not, you still have to make plans early." It's better to let my friend die than to let me die. It hurts Tianhe but not Wenhe. People are biased. The Jiang family is biased, and she is no exception. She will definitely favor her sister without hesitation.

Li Xueyan felt a little guilty after hearing what she said, but she couldn't make up her mind for a while. Finally, she led Yanxia home in a sullen mood, leaving only one sentence before leaving: "I will ask Wu Cairen about those prescriptions another day and ask her to help think of a way to see when His Majesty can spare the time."

Jiang Shangxian sighed after watching this. A love-brained person will never give up until he hits a wall. At Li Xueyan's age, it's the right time to like a yellow-haired guy, but Zhao Shan is not a yellow-haired guy. It's really frustrating...

Jiang Shangxian, who had been using her brain all day, was also extremely tired and waiting for the end of get off work. Her little brain was aching and dull. If she had to use her brain like this every day, she seriously suspected that it would affect her lifespan, causing her to die suddenly eighty-five years later at the age of fifteen.

For someone who doesn't like to use her brain, it is better for her to work than to use her brain. Of course, if she can live without using her brain or working, like a cute paramecium, she would be willing to do so to some extent.

It's a pity that the naive and innocent heroines who only need to lie down and be forced to love are all in other people's novels. She is born to be a working class person, strong and resolute!

Just before getting off work, Jiang Shangxian received a post saying that her future mother-in-law would come to have dinner with her tomorrow!

Good luck!

She had been planning to take a day off tomorrow to rest her mind at home, but now, I’m afraid her mind won’t be at peace tonight!

She had originally planned to spend the night thinking about her private meeting with her mother-in-law tomorrow and a task she had put aside for a long time. However, not long after she lay down, she was taken over by the bed. She only blinked twice and couldn't open her eyes anymore.

The next morning, Jiang Shangxian woke up with a blank mind. He twisted his legs around the quilt like a maggot in bed, "Ahhhhhhh, what should I do? I'm going to die!"

For the first time in a long time, she once again experienced the pain and anxiety of failing at the last minute cramming before the final exam.

When she saw Mrs. Xia and Jiang's mother, who had also been anxious all night after hearing what happened yesterday, she strangely felt that she was not feeling so bad anymore.

It really is much better to have someone to share the burden with.

Before she left, Old Madam Xia came rushing back from the ramen stall to talk to her: "Nian Nu, you must remember what Grandmother said. Those people love to talk in a roundabout way. Don't worry about it. As long as they don't say it directly, just pretend you don't understand. If they say it directly and you don't like it, just pretend you didn't hear it. Remember?"

After eating a large bowl of mutton ramen, Jiang Shangxian, with a round belly, cheered up again. He patted Old Madam Xia's chest with confidence and assured her, "Don't worry, Grandma. Your granddaughter is very capable!"
