Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 487 Side Door

Xiao Jiang got on the carriage amid Jiang Wangri's repeated flattery about her being the prettiest sister in the world. The young couple looked at each other and were both shocked by each other's fresh outfits.

Although Cui Bianxu was not attending the flower banquet today, he got up early and dressed very brightly. He wore a round-necked robe with coral, pearl and deer patterns, and a flower on the side of his head. He came to pick up Jiang Shangxian in person. He looked more elegant and graceful than usual.

Xiao Cui puffed out his chest muscles proudly - this is Qingzhou, he must make his wife proud!

"This is the first time I see you wearing this color." Xiao Cui's heart was beating fast when he saw his wife dressed in new clothes.

"Does Qingzhou's flower banquets always start so early?" Xiao Jiang, who had no banquet experience.

The two of them spoke and stopped talking at the same time. Cui Bianxu touched his nose and said without thinking, "I just offended my brother and sister-in-law a few days ago. I'm afraid today's banquet will not be a good one. Don't worry, I'll be in the outer courtyard. Jianming and Lisheng will be waiting outside the inner courtyard in a while. If there is anything, let Yingzi go find them."

Jiang Shangxian didn't know how he had offended someone, but he didn't care.

Those who truly want to be friends with me will not embarrass me just because Cui Bianxu offended others. Those who embarrass me must have planned it in advance.

At most, it's just a difference in the degree of embarrassment. What does it matter?

How big a difference is there between one slap and five slaps?

Jiang Shangxian's point is: "Can he really fight?"

It was Xiao Cui who asked her to take care of the five maids, and the rolling pin was also something Xiao Cui emphasized.

It would be difficult to use knives or swords among the women, but a rolling pin is just the right thing.

Cui Bianxu answered this question decisively: "Fight!"

Not only is Jiang Shangxian good at fighting, but if something really happens, he will have to beat all the men in their family one by one without stopping.

His wife is still a little timid and kind-hearted. He, Cui Yi, does not bully others because he is well-educated and sensible. But if he does not fight back when being bullied, then he, Cui Yi, is a coward and a bastard!

"to make."

Jiang Shangxian nodded, feeling relieved.

The Cui Mansion was also very lively today. Even though the time for the flower banquet was a little early, everyone was very excited because the eldest wife of the Cui family had sent the flower invitations personally, especially for the future sister-in-law.

Who doesn’t want to watch the fun?

Please, that is the nightmare of the young lady in Qingzhou City, Cui Yi’s future wife!

Although many young ladies who had been bullied by Cui Bianxu are now married, they also want to see if the young lady who could charm Cui Yi, a martial artist, has any special powers. How could she even be able to bully Cui Yi, a scoundrel who would fight at the slightest disagreement?

When Jiang Shangxian's carriage arrived at Cui's residence, the parking lot was already half full. The servants at the door saw that it was their carriage and immediately greeted it: "Jiulang."

Cui Bianxu, who got off the carriage first, ignored them and turned around to help Jiang Shangxian get off the carriage. The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily: "I will go with you to pay my respects to my mother."

He planned to use his cold face and eyes to scare them first, so that they wouldn't forget his temper after he had been away for so long.

Of course Xiao Jiang would not refuse her boyfriend who was so considerate. She smiled sweetly and gently with her lips pursed.

The pink bubble between the two of them made everyone around them gasp. Xiao Jiang even heard someone gasping.

No, aren’t the people of Qingzhou so reserved?

What's wrong with a young couple smiling?

Xiao Jiang didn't understand why, but he straightened his back a little more and pulled his hand back from Xiao Cui's palm.

A woman like a female eagle must never lose!

Just as he was holding it, he heard Cui Bianxu say in a displeased tone: "Why don't you open the main door?"

Jiang Shangxian followed his gaze and saw that the tall and wide gate of the Cui Mansion was indeed only open with the side door on the left. But to be honest, it was worthy of being the Cui family's ancestral home, so how could this door be so big?

Even this side door is much larger than the main gate of their Jiang family. At first, she saw that everyone else was walking to the left, and she didn't think too much about it. She just thought it was the rule here.

After all, there are so many places in the country, and it is common for customs to differ from place to place.

But now she realized what her little Cui asked her - Oh my goodness, this time Ma's show of power starts from the door!

Cui is now the head of the eldest wife's household, so the servant guarding the gate is naturally from the eldest wife's household. It goes without saying who did this.

Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Jiang couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, isn't this method too low-level?

"Jiulang may have forgotten that our main gate is only opened when there are big happy events. Today is just a flower banquet, so naturally the side door is open." A middle-aged man came out from the gatehouse. His clothes were much better than those of these servants. He was the manager of Cui's outer courtyard.

Cui Bianxu frowned and said coldly: "Open the main door."

"Jiulang, this, this is not a rule. I hope Jiulang can show some consideration for this old slave..." The steward looked very embarrassed, his face wrinkled but he was trying hard to force a smile.

This gesture caused many guests who came to the banquet to slow down and watch the fun.

Cui Bianxu's face fell and he winked at Jian Ming, who was about to go forward and open the main door.

"Kuro."

Jiang Shangxian suddenly spoke, his smile still on his lips, his voice soft and sticky: "It's okay."

"this...."

Cui Bianxu hadn't expected her to suddenly speak up for the steward, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Didn't we agree when we came here that if any evil spirits and demons showed up to cause trouble, we'd teach them a lesson. Why did she suddenly turn against us at the last minute?"

Jian Ming paused, turned his head and looked at the two of them bewilderedly: "No, can you two come to a consensus? This will make it difficult for me!"

The steward's eyes flashed with pride when he saw this, but he said: "Ms. Jiang is indeed from Chang'an. She knows when to advance and when to retreat and knows the etiquette. Jiulang, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shangxian turned around and walked towards the carriage. The steward's smugness immediately vanished, and he hurried down the steps, holding up his skirt: "What do you mean, Miss Jiang? The flower banquet is about to begin!"

Jiang Shangxian blinked innocently and said, "Perhaps it's because I've been in Chang'an for too long and haven't seen much. Normally, I always go through the main gate when I go to the Prince's Mansion. Today, I feel a little uncomfortable with the customs of Qingzhou. Of course, this is by no means the Mansion's fault. It's just that I've only been in Qingzhou for a short time and I'm still a little uncomfortable. I'll go back today and come to visit my parents when I'm more accustomed."

As she spoke, she bowed to Cui Bianxu and said, "I'll have to trouble Jiulang to speak to you on my behalf. I'll go back and find a nanny to inquire carefully about the rules of Qingzhou before I come back, so as to avoid making mistakes and making a fool of myself."
