Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 378 Letter

Carrier pigeons are one-way and go to fixed points. Various accidents may happen during the long-distance delivery of letters, so several pigeons are usually taken out. However, at least five pigeons are required to deliver a letter. It is impossible for Li Sheng and others to take a bunch of pigeons out, so this is the first time that a letter has arrived.

Due to weight restrictions, the notes were often very small and could only hold a few words. When the small scroll was unfolded, the first thing that caught my eye was Li Shengzhou's words, which were so correct that they left one speechless: "Reach Chang'an within six days."

"Have you sent someone to wait at the city gate?"

Generally speaking, guards would report back to the mansion on their own after going out on business, just like cattle and horses. But this time Li Sheng was gone for so long that Cui Bianxu felt uneasy. If he hadn't been short of manpower, he would have sent someone to look for him long ago.

"Don't worry, Jiulang. I've sent someone to wait for him. He will report to me as soon as he sees him." Although Jianming is a crybaby, he never hesitates when doing things.

His kung fu is not top-notch among the guards, but he focuses on all-round development. For example, today Cui Bianxu asked him to prepare a gift, and Jianming did it very well - he specially went to the temple to invite a statue of the God of Wealth.

Yangyang Noodle House.

Business was very good on the first day of opening. Jiang Wangri's braised meat was sold out after noon. This thing had to be braised in advance, and it was too late to make it now. Jiang's mother stomped her feet in regret.

Jiang Shangxian told her yesterday to be more generous and do more, as restaurants are usually most popular when they first open.

However, Jiang's mother was used to being stingy, and she was afraid that the business would not be good on the first day of opening, so she didn't dare to do more. Now it was too late to regret.

Fortunately, Xia Zhenying was smart and decisive. Seeing that business was good in the morning, she took advantage of the opportunity to start kneading dough and making soup, so that she did not end up in a situation where she could only do business for half a day on the first day of opening.

The immortal Xiao Jiang was still sitting on the small stool at the door of the store, supporting his cheek with his hand, looking up from time to time, eagerly waiting for Cui Bianxu to come.

The shop opened today, and her son Cui would definitely come over no matter what. Unfortunately, the opening day happened to coincide with the time when Cui had to meet his KPI. Sigh...

When Cui Bianxu arrived, he saw his young slave huddled in the corner, the flesh on his face being squeezed and squeezed by his hands, making him look particularly adorable. His heart softened instantly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "Why are you sitting here? Be careful not to catch a cold in the strong wind."

"You're here!"

Xiao Jiang, who was almost sleepy from waiting, suddenly raised his head when he heard a familiar voice. Before he could see the person clearly, he laughed: "Are you done?"

"Well, just some trivial matters."

Cui Bianxu walked over and took her hand and squeezed it. It was warm. "Have you been busy today?"

"Nothing done."

Xiao Jiang smiled innocently, stretched out his chubby hands and spun them around in front of him: "Except for carrying the lunch box for Wu Niang this morning, I haven't had any other work to do."

The injuries on her body were actually minor, just a lot of bruises that looked creepy. Her family members didn't let her work, for fear that she would get hurt again.

"Are Zhao Shan and the others here?"

"No, the General of the Household is very open-minded. Although the person didn't come, the gift was there." Jiang Shangxian praised Wang Mingqian while he was flirting with Zhao Shan. This guy is too stingy. The person didn't come and there was no gift. He is so stingy.

Cui Bianxu understood the meaning behind her words and smiled even more deeply. He said in agreement, "Don't worry, I'll ask him to return it once we get married."

"kindness!"

Xiao Jiang thought so too. This stingy guy would definitely give her a lot of money when the time comes!

"but...."

She lowered her voice, tugged at Cui Bianxu's arm, and stood on tiptoe, trying to whisper in his ear: "Wu Niang said that Zhao Shan gave her a sachet! It's made of white jade!"

Xiao Jiang gestured with his hands to measure their size, trying his best to prove how outrageous Zhao Shan's sudden generosity was.

Cui Bianxu bent down cooperatively. As she spoke, the warm air with a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus scent sprayed against his ears, tickling him. His heart also tickled, and he spoke more gently as if coaxing a child: "Oh? Is it really that big? Could it be that Li Wuniang stole it?"

"certainly not!"

Xiao Jiang pouted and patted his arm, solemnly declaring, "Zhao Shan took the initiative to give it to her. He took the initiative! Wu Niang just glanced at him once more, and Zhao Shan said he wanted to give it to her!"

For some unknown reason, Jiang Shangxian felt competitive in this strange place, and to save face he ignored Li Xueyan's words that she liked him.

What's more, how can it be said that her sister's happy event was snatched away?

"Yes, yes, take the initiative."

Cui Bianxu, always very patient with her, offered, "Has Zhao Shan finally gotten the message? Shall I ask him on Li Wuniang's behalf?"

If just a little talk could make her happy, Xiao Cui thought it would be too easy.

"Well..."

Xiao Jiang tilted his head, feeling a bit conflicted. He poked Cui Bianxu's chest with his fingers, "I'll ask her later."

It’s not easy to make the decision on your own. You have to ask the opinions of the parties involved before doing anything, only then can it be considered an achievement.

"Well, I'll go in and say hello to my grandmother and the others first."

Cui Bianxu grabbed her restless hand and clenched it in his palm. He turned around and took the gift from Jian Ming, who was trying to make himself invisible. "I need to go back early today. There's news from the people I sent to Guazhou. Mother has been worried."

"Is Huirong okay?"

Zhao Yue would bring up this matter from time to time, wondering why she hadn't come back for so long. After hearing this so many times, Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but worry too. It was a long journey, and although Huirong was good at martial arts, she was still a young lady. If something happened to her, it would be troublesome.

"It should be fine."

Li Sheng's letter was short, but since it didn't mention anything serious, it meant it was nothing serious. "Today's confession did reveal some information. Will you come back with me to see my mother later? They're worried about you."

Xiao Cui thought that it would be a good opportunity for them to chat on the way, as working people should be aware of using their spare time to fall in love.

"Yeah!" Xiao Jiang prepared to show up in front of his mother-in-law and aunt, so that they could see that he was fine and avoid worrying about him.

Old Lady Xia and Jiang's mother were very happy to see Cui Bianxu coming. Although they didn't say it explicitly that day, they were also looking forward to Cui Bianxu's coming. After all, he was their son-in-law, and it would seem that they were not close to him if he didn't come.

However, Madam Xia was a very polite person, and she said, "Jiulang, you have a lot to do. It's okay if you don't come. It's just something the two kids were playing with."

Jiang's mother was much more straightforward: "Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. I've also left a plate of braised lamb just for you!"

As he spoke, he called out to Jian Ming, "Hurry up and sit down. Since you're here, you have to eat a bowl before you can leave!"
