Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an
Chapter 69 Exploiting loopholes
The palace, although she has never been there, but she was a repeater in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!
Each and every one of them had more tricks than the sieves used to sift flour in their kitchen. As for her, she had to read it ten times and then look at the explanation before she finally understood it!
With this level, she is nothing but a Karami.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted in finding a loophole, and since cowards have their own way of thinking, she had already come up with a solution.
Jiang Shangxian thought so while his hands kept moving. He filled a bowl of Fu Lu Shou and placed it on the tray. He licked his lips and walked forward.
She felt a little embarrassed to change the way they had agreed upon something, and she felt like she was asking for help. After entering, she was much more respectful than before.
Cui Bianxu keenly noticed her difference and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you acting so pretentiously? We're eating!"
Very good, you can make people jump up and down with just one sentence, you are really amazing!
"Shaoqing, don't you like to eat vegetables?" Never mind, the one asking for help is shorter, she can endure it!
Cui Bianxu glanced at her and ignored her, preparing to see what the young lady was going to do.
"Eating some vegetables every day will keep you healthy." Jiang Shangxian blinked her innocent eyes, feeling that she should be very considerate now.
Cui Bianxu put down his chopsticks and looked solemnly at the person in front of him who was pouring soup for him. His mind raced as he speculated, "Are you...trying to seduce me?!"
Jiang Shangxian: "???"
She was shocked by these words and before she could refute them, she heard him pointing at the stool in the corner and saying, "You go stay there."
No, I haven't said anything yet, so how come I'm being treated as a sexual harasser? Look at his alert expression!
Is it necessary? This box is so big, the stool is already by the door!
"Cui Shaoqing!"
What can be tolerated by scholars?
Jiang Shangxian bravely shouted, then realized that his voice was a little loud. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his tone returning to normal: "I swear to heaven that I have no desire for Cui Shaoqing!"
At most, I think this person has a good figure. If he were in modern times, maybe I could see his abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles and biceps for free!
Cui Bianxu leaned back and returned to his original position, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable. It was the first time that a young lady had despised him like this. What was the point of swearing?
He touched his chin and thought to himself: Could it be that I worked too hard in the Dali Temple, causing my external image to suffer serious damage?
I heard that the palace has come up with a lot of prescriptions recently, such as Ruby Cream and Jade Girl Powder. Do you want to get some for skin care?
Thinking of this, Cui Bianxu couldn't help but look solemn.
"Shaoqing Cui, what you promised me last time..." Jiang Shangxian felt that things could develop in a chaotic way, but not blindly, and she had to get things back on track.
Cui Bianxu came back to his senses and took the bowl of Fu Lu Shou with one hand. He raised his head and drank it clean in a few gulps before saying, "The emperor is still in Luoyang, and the favored ones in the palace have gone with him. If you are anxious, I will think of a way... to send you to the Luoyang Palace."
Jiang Shangxian was neither sad nor happy. He tried his best to suppress the urge to curse his father and forced a smile to decline: "Master Cui has devoted so much energy and effort to me. I have no way to repay you."
A young lady was specially sent to Luoyang to cook for Erfeng. People knew that she was going to cook, but those who didn’t would think she was going there to compete for a job!
She doesn't have such a strong ambition!
Also, what's with Cui Shaoqing's eating habits? Why is he so... rude?
Are they even more hurried than the boys in their school who eat in the cafeteria and then rush to the basketball court to play?
What? Are you planning to grab some rebounds?
Isn't it said that anyone from a noble family is a role model of etiquette?
"Then you just wait patiently. We don't know when His Majesty will come back." Seeing that she didn't want to go to the Luoyang Palace, Cui Bianxu started eating again.
Seeing this, Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but feel hungry too. This person was eating too deliciously, wasn't he?
"Shaoqing, I thought about it carefully when I got home that day. The imperial city is a very important place. I am just a small cook. It is really difficult for me to join the Ministry of Food..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her words. Cui Bianxu put down his chopsticks with a snapping sound and raised his eyebrows: "When did I say it was difficult?!"
What's going on? You look down on yourself and question your own abilities?
"It's just the Food Department, huh."
Okay, okay, you’re awesome, you’re great, you’re awesome PLUS!
Jiang Shangxian suppressed his anger and continued to smile: "I think it's hard to leave my family..."
"Why, you don't want to go?"
"That's not the case. It's just that I was wondering if Mr. Cui could come up with a plan to take me to the palace. I want to see the cooking skills of the food department. I'm sure I'll benefit a lot."
That’s right, this is the method she came up with - finding a loophole!
The mission only says to enter the palace, but it doesn't say that you have to live there permanently, nor does it say that you have to find a job there, right?
Then isn't it reasonable for her to go in and out?
Look, what a genius idea, she is a genius!
"You want to steal my skills?!" Cui Bianxu is more talented than her. He blurted out the question with an expression of disapproval on his face, as if to say, why don't you just do something good? Why do you want to steal my skills?
Jiang Shangxian choked. She didn't! She wasn't!
But she couldn't say that she was going to complete some ridiculous mission, so she had to shamelessly act like a fool: "I heard that the palace is so beautiful. Although I was born and raised in Chang'an, I always regret that I can't see the splendor of the palace with my own eyes. I feel very regretful..."
This is absolute nonsense, totally illogical and stupid.
Cui Bianxu curled his lips blatantly: "It's almost the same as outside."
Jiang Shangxian was about to perform a peasant uprising for him on the spot. Damn it, why is this bastard so annoying?
"Shaoqing Cui, just tell me if it's okay or not?" It doesn't matter. The three words "Shaoqing Cui" are her last courtesy. If it doesn't work, just go in and work as a worker.
Is it okay? Can a man say no?
Cui Bianxu slammed the table and said, "Who are you trying to stir up trouble with?!"
He was very strong, and the table trembled a few times with his palm. His voice was even louder. The room was extremely quiet for a moment, and the silence was so severe that it made people scratch their feet.
Well, Jiang Shangxian pouted. What's wrong with this guy? He doesn't take any soft or hard words, and he doesn't get provoked. He doesn't play by the rules. It's simply against the will of heaven.
Looking at her aggrieved expression, Cui Bianxu suddenly felt a little regretful for some reason. Was his tone too harsh?
He rubbed his palms back and forth on his thighs for a few times, took another bite of lamb chops, nimbly spat out the bones, took another bite, and spat out the bones again...
As the sound of bones falling on the table continued to rang out, the silence in the room was finally broken.
There was nothing she could do. The noise was too loud. If she hadn't looked up, she would have thought there was a pea shooter shooting in the house!
