Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 294 Huirong

Zhang Yingxue and her disciples sat in the swaying carriage. She was actually a little embarrassed in her heart. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but she did a good job. After being married for so many years, she had learned something.

Before Jiang Shangxian left, his mother pulled his ear and warned him that when he was with the master, he must be respectful and not doze off. He must be alert and alert. If the master needed anything, such as pouring water or getting some fruit, he must do it immediately.

Therefore, Jiang Shangxian secretly yawned a hundred or eighty times along the way, but he didn't dare to close his eyes even for a moment. He stared at his master seriously and was ready to serve him at any time.

The look in his eyes was so revealing that Zhang Yingxue didn't dare to open her eyes at all. Fortunately, Cui's house was not far away and they arrived there quickly.

Mian Sui lifted the curtain as usual, intending to help her husband out of the car, when she saw a figure swooping over and saying, "Let me do it!"

"Sir..." Mian Sui's hand was in the air, staring weakly and helplessly at her teacher's wrist which was pinched by Jiang Shangxian.

What should she do? Who will save her?!

Zhang Yingxue looked at her wrist being grabbed, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, with the same faint smile on her face: "Okay."

She is a woman who has seen big scenes and divorced before. What does this small scene matter to her?

Jiang Shangxian was happy. She hadn't found any opportunity to flatter her master along the way, but she finally got one. If she didn't do something, she would not be able to explain to her mother when she returned home.

Because they were all female relatives, the carriage went straight into the inner courtyard. They got off the carriage and walked three steps inside to reach the inner courtyard. Lianhuan, the maidservant beside Zhao Yue, had already been waiting here with others.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Jiang."

As soon as the ceremony was over, Lianhuan made a gesture, and the maids who had been prepared on the side came forward one after another, some holding umbrellas, some fanning, and some holding small curling stones in their hands.

It can be said that the moment these people surrounded them, Jiang Shangxian and Zhang Yingxue felt the coolness.

It’s so comfortable, this is how people should live!

"Mr. Zhang, the two little girls have already prepared the ice jar in your room. It should be a good time for you to go back now. I will have someone send some sweet rice noodles over later." Lianhuan was very respectful to Zhang Yingxue. This was the person invited back by Jiulang in their family to teach his future wife. They were all servants of the mansion and would live under Cui Bianxu and Jiang Shangxian in the future.

Zhang Yingxue was even more satisfied. Although she had only been there for a short day, she had good food, good sleep, and good things to use. The people in the mansion also treated her with respect. Her life was much better than before her divorce. "Thank you very much. Please thank my wife for me. She has something important to do over there, so I won't go over to bother her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mian Sui came over and affectionately took Lian Huan's hand, then stuffed a small purse into her hand: "Sister Lian Huan, my husband is afraid of the heat, and thanks to your careful care, I was worried that the house would be too hot and stuffy if I came back at this time. Now it's all right."

Lian Huan smiled and accepted the small purse: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. This is what I should do. My mistress said that if you need anything, just send someone to tell me. I will get it for you if I can get it."

Zhang Yingxue smiled and nodded at her: "Thank you in advance."

Then he looked at the disciple who was happily enjoying the cool breeze beside him. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Listen carefully to what my wife teaches you. If you really don't understand, you can ask me tomorrow. Although my background is a little poor, I am older after all, so I can help you with some advice."

Jiang Shangxian nodded obediently: "Yes, sir, don't worry."

She understood what Zhang Yingxue meant, so she listened carefully to the class and kept any opinions to herself so that she could attend the second round of instruction or a small class later.

What a great teacher, he even gives extra lessons, woooo.

After seeing Zhang Yingxue off, Lian Huan bowed to Jiang Shangxian again and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, let's go now. I'm waiting for you. I've been preparing for a long time and looking forward to your arrival every day."

"I'm the one who troubled Madam." Jiang Shangxian breathed a sigh of relief. She said that the way her future mother-in-law looked at her, it was obvious that she liked her!

Zhao Yue, who liked her, sat upright in the main hall, stretching her neck to look outside from time to time. Guizhi came in with some fruit and Sushan. Seeing her like this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lady. I went to pick her up as soon as I received the news. This house is not very big, so she will be here soon."

Qiaoxiang, who was standing by the door looking out, also laughed when she heard this and said, "I guess our wife likes Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang came today and she's been busy like this."

"When did it become your turn to make fun of me?" Zhao Yue retracted her neck and rolled her eyes: "Who said I like her? Be careful or I'll rip your mouths off!"

Among the masters of the Cui family, Zhao Yue had a good temper. No matter how much she hated Cui Zhe's concubines, she would only curse at them and shout for killing in her own yard. She never actually took action.

There was nothing to say about these personal maids. She had always spoiled the children, and what she said was just a pretense to be stern with them. Therefore, the two of them only covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They were not like the maids in other rooms who were scared to kneel down and apologize at the sight of their master.

"My lady, have a bowl of Sushan to cool down. It's really hot in Chang'an."

Zhao Yue instinctively reached out to take it, but stopped when the spoon reached her mouth and put the bowl on the table: "Forget it, this person will be here soon, let's eat together when she comes."

After hearing this, the two of them exchanged a glance and snickered. Zhao Yue, feeling rather uneasy, argued, "It saves me from eating all the lip balm. I'll have to go and reapply it later, which is such a hassle!"

"Madam, Miss Jiang is here." Huirong, who had been waiting outside the yard, hurried in. Her temples were soaked with sweat and her face was sunburned red.

Zhao Yue immediately stood up and took a step forward, then remembered that she was a mother-in-law. How could a mother-in-law welcome her daughter-in-law?

Sitting down again, Zhao Yue casually adjusted the hem of her skirt, raised her hand to touch her hair and looked at Huirong, nodding her mouth to let her go down: "They are all smart, why are you so stupid? Just let a little girl keep an eye on them, is there any need for you to go out in the sun and stare at them? Go down quickly and change, and have some cold tea to beat the heat."

"Thank you, my lady. I have always been stronger than them and am not afraid of the sun." Huirong smiled innocently and bowed again before leaving.

Guizhi glanced at Qiaoxiang across from her and said casually, "Sister Huirong has always been very considerate to my lady. She refuses to delegate anything my lady asks of her. She's probably worried that my clumsy servants won't be able to serve my lady well."
