Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Jiang Shangxian came to his senses and found that the game on the field had ended. Cui Yi and Zhao Shan won 2V3.

Because they were outnumbered and the score was so different, everyone was very excited. Many people came over to talk to them. Zhao Shan's face was full of the smile of a sunny and cheerful big boy, and he kept talking to people.

Cui Bianxu looked like a cool guy from the Tang Dynasty. He strode out of the crowd with a stern face and walked towards this side. Seeing this, Zhao Shan hurried to follow him.

Seeing that they were about to come back, Li Xueyan hurried to the table next door and sat upright. She quickly checked her hair with both hands, then lowered her head to look at her clothes, her cheeks a little redder than before.

The two came back, feeling hot. As soon as they sat down, they picked up the fans and started fanning themselves vigorously.

Jiang Shangxian diligently moved the ice jar closer, then took the opportunity to pour tea and sat down again.

Cui Bianxu drank a cup of tea while fanning himself, and then took the plate of grapes that Jiang Shangxian had peeled.

His action caused Jiang Shangxian and Li Xueyan to look over at the same time.

Cui Bianxu first picked up a grape, frowned, stared at it for a while, then looked at Jiang Shangxian helplessly. In the end, he said nothing and put the grape in his mouth, but only chewed it three times before swallowing it.

After waiting for a while, Cui Bianxu still didn't spit out the seeds. Li Xueyan's mouth opened wide. Oh my god, what did she see? Cui Yi really likes to eat grape seeds?

Jiang Shangxian didn't expect that he would eat the grape seeds directly. He felt a little awkward and lowered his head a little guilty, and kept mentally preparing himself: grape seeds are antioxidants, and Cui Yi is old, so it's a good time to take care of himself.

Only Zhao Xingcheng wasn't paying attention. He craned his neck to look down at the court. He also took a grape and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a while, his expression changed. "What's going on? Why are there seeds in this grape?"

He withdrew his gaze from the polo ball. For a moment, he couldn't vomit, and he didn't want to swallow. He looked at the remaining grapes on the plate and then at Cui Bianxu, his eyes full of confusion: "You..."

He really wanted to ask Cui Bianxu when he started living such a rough life, why did he even eat grapes with seeds?!

Cui Bianxu raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Eating won't stop you from talking? I just like eating grapes with seeds."

This reckless man!

Zhao Xingcheng felt extremely helpless and could only swallow the grapes in his mouth with difficulty. Did he just suffer from temporary deafness?

How come he didn't know when Cui Yi started to like eating grapes with seeds?

Isn't this guy the most difficult to deal with since he was a child?

Jiang Shangxian: .....I'm so sorry....I didn't know you guys could eat grapes so delicately...

So, for some unknown reason, Cui Bianxu ate the grapes one by one, including the seeds...

Zhao Xingcheng glanced at Jiang Shangxian for a while, then secretly looked at Cui Bianxu, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

By the time it was almost noon, the polo field was completely empty. The dancers on the other side had been replaced three times, and now it was Hu Xuan.

The palace maids came in one after another, removed the snacks and fruits on the table, and replaced them with today's lunch.

Perhaps because Princess Changle was sitting on the high platform in the middle, the palace maid's expression had changed to a polite smile.

The palace had its own set lunch routine. The staple food was cold noodles boiled in cold water, served with several kinds of cut fruits. Everyone was given the standard four dishes: gold and silver flower dumplings (crab roe and crab meat were picked out, sandwiched between steamed rolls, and cut into small pieces of equal size), phoenix embryos (unripe eggs from a chicken's stomach, cooked together with fish), clove sashimi (marinated fish sashimi sprinkled with clove oil and vinegar), and small sky pastry (a cold dish of venison and chicken).

Soup: Shujiang (a kind of meat soup)

This lunch was much better than Jiang Shangxian had imagined. Although she couldn't eat it, the specifications and dishes looked much better than the staff meals for the Tang Dynasty civil servants.

She swallowed her saliva and watched Cui Bianxu eat the dishes bit by bit according to the standard etiquette. Then, when the time was almost up, another palace maid came up and took away the plates. At this time, the last dessert was served - Yulu Tuan (a kind of pastry with carved patterns).

A small plate covered with green plant leaves, with a small snow-white dumpling on it, and a red flower printed on it.

Jiang Shangxian estimated that Cui Bianxu could finish it in one breath with this size.

However, he had been eating very restrainedly today, although his appetite was still very good and he did not waste any food. If he usually ate with a hungry stomach, then at this moment, the way he ate was truly pleasing to the eye.

As a cook, she likes guests like Cui Bianxu who eat with big mouthfuls and finish all the food.

Sometimes she would chat with Cui Bianxu in Lexianlou and watch him eat. She thought that Cui Bianxu's mother must be very happy. With a child like him, she didn't have to worry about meals at all. Haha.

Therefore, Jiang Shangxian's feelings towards Cui Bianxu are a bit complicated. She kind of... wants to give birth to him...

Sitting upright, ready to leave at any moment, Cui Bianxu suddenly felt a loving gaze falling upon him...

In fact, in Jiang Shangxian's opinion, this lunch was quite fast. Almost at the same time when the palace maids removed the last plate of dessert, the protagonist Princess Changle announced the successful conclusion of today's summer polo meeting.

The main reason for the fast speed was the hot weather. The intense polo game caused the men and women present to sweat a lot.

As everyone knows, the smell of sweat is absolutely unacceptable in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty, where there are no "stinky men".

Of course, it is still the early Tang Dynasty. Although it is not as exaggerated as the late Tang Dynasty, the whole society is full of extravagance. Anyone who does not have a little fragrance on his body, mouth, head, or armpits will be ridiculed.

But no one likes to participate in social activities in a smelly state. The era when Li Shimin took a bath only once in a long time when marching and fighting has long passed.

Therefore, the men and women left in a very orderly manner. Except for close friends, there was a long distance between each person.

Zhao Xingcheng naturally walked with Cui Bianxu: "I'll go to your place to wash... Forget it, you don't even have a maid..."

He is different from Cui Bianxu. From childhood to adulthood, he has enjoyed all the benefits he should have, and the necessary personnel configurations are also complete.

Things like bathing, changing clothes, and drying hair have always been done by maids.

Cui Bianxu's place had only guards and servants, not even a female mouse.

It’s not that he doesn’t want it, but even a female mouse has to take a detour when she sees this living devil!

When he was originally in his hometown of Qinghe, the Cui family also gave him eight maids according to the rules.

Who knew that this guy was a staunch implementer of gender equality? He would do horse stance every morning, and all his men, regardless of gender, had to follow him.

On the first day, I stood under the sun for two hours and fainted twice. That’s not a big deal, I can just grit my teeth and persevere.

After finally enduring a month, this guy asked them to fight each other again. There was no limit on gender, except for guards, and the winner would be given silver directly.

My goodness, we are all here to work, who doesn’t do it for money?

The servants immediately picked out all eight maids. When they were beating them, Cui Bianxu insisted that they fight with style, characteristics, and vigor.

Otherwise it is considered cheating.

Well, well, well, as a result, the eight maids lay in bed for half a month before they could get up.
