Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 345 It’s Better to Have Something

Chaoyuan Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in and around Chang'an City for marriage. Its main business is to read horoscopes, calculate marriages, and calculate dates, and it can be accurate to the specific time.

Their professional skills were extremely high. In the Tang Dynasty, where the divorce rate was unprecedented, not a single couple got divorced because of the help they received from Chaoyuan Temple. Therefore, they were very popular among the nobles in Chang'an City.

Chang'an to Qinghe is a long journey, so they have to go to Chaoyuan Temple to calculate the specific time of going to pick up the bride, the time when Jiang Shangxian leaves the house, and even the time when they enter the house after arriving in Qinghe.

When the time comes, the marriage will be held at the most auspicious time so that the two children can live happily together.

Cui Bianxu was still trying to fight for it when someone outside came to announce, "Jiulang, the Thirteenth Prince of the Wang family is here to visit."

"Wang Hui? What is he doing here?" Xiao Cui suspected that he had suffered from ear disease at such a young age. If the Dali Temple came to him in the middle of the night, he could still understand it, but why did Wang Mingqian come to him at this time?

Zhao Yue didn't care about that. Seeing this, she quickly sent him away: "Wang Shisanlang has always been calm and polite. He must have come to you at this time for something urgent. You'd better go quickly!"

Stop wasting time here! It's so annoying!

"Mother, about the wedding date..." For Jiang Shangxian's safety, Xiao Cui still wanted to struggle a little more. It was definitely not that he was in a hurry to get married!

In response, Zhao Yue dropped the teacup heavily onto the table. "Your aunt and I will make the final decision on this matter!"

Having failed to achieve his wish, Cui Bianxu's face fell, and he walked away quickly without turning his head, saying, "Did he say why he was looking for me?"

That guy Wang Hui better be in trouble!

Jian Ming followed quickly with his head down: "I don't know. Wang Shisanlang just said he had something important to discuss with Jiulang."

Oh my goodness, why is it that I always encounter Jiulang when he is in a bad mood?

Cui Bianxu snorted softly, his pace quickening: "He better be in trouble!"

Otherwise, when this guy gets married, he will make a big fuss about it!

After being blown by the cold wind on the way here, and then sitting in the warm room for a while, with the alternation of cold and hot, Wang Mingqian felt that his mind was slowly calming down.

Yan Yin's appearance made them both wonder whether the person behind the scenes would create more monsters. Even though Ning Yuye repeatedly assured them, they were still worried.

As for Wu Sanniang, she was just a prostitute. There must be another mastermind behind this.

Cui Bianxu, who walked with a swift breeze and a cold look in his eyes, saw him leisurely eating fruit when he entered the room. He was furious: "Is the Jinwu Guard crazy because of poverty? A dignified General of the Central Army still wants to eat supper at my place?"

Wang Mingqian: ...

He looked at the snacks in his hand, then at his friend, and was very sure that this guy was unhappy again.

"Who has provoked you again? Why are you like a firecracker all day long? You are getting married soon, aren't you afraid of scaring Aunt Jiang?" Xiao Wang coaxed her good-temperedly before stuffing the rest of the fruit into his mouth.

"What are you... doing here?" Cui Bianxu, whose fur was stroked, sat down with a grunt. He decided not to lose his temper with him for the time being and give him a chance to speak.

Okay, whether you want to tell it or not, he doesn’t really want to know. Anyway, this guy has had a bad temper since he was a child!

Wang Mingqian took the opportunity to talk about what happened during the day: "Today, there was a floating corpse beside the Yong'an Canal in Jiahuifang..."

Just listening to Xiao Cui's face darkened, and he shouted at Jian Ming: "Tomorrow we'll find some Taoist priests to perform a ritual to get rid of the bad luck!"

Wang Mingqian: ???

Jian Ming responded quickly and explained to him: "Jiulang and Miss Jiang's good days are coming soon. It's too unlucky for something like this to happen."

"You and Aunt Jiang have set a date? How come I didn't know?" Wang Mingqian's thoughts were easily distracted. He hadn't even prepared a gift, so how could it be set?

"No, I'm going to ask for the date in the next two days. My wife is taking care of this matter." Jian Ming was very happy. As long as Miss Jiang married into his family, the number of times he would be scolded would definitely decrease!

Can this be considered a good day?

Faced with Wang Mingqian's face full of doubts, Cui Bianxu seemed quite proud, but what could he say to someone who didn't even have a wife?

Will he understand what I said?

"Alright, Jianming, go down. He doesn't even have a good young lady to befriend. What can he understand? Wang Hui, go on."

Wang Mingqian secretly clenched his fists and held his breath as he continued, "Recently in Chang'an..."

"So, you think there's something wrong with this God of Wealth Casino?" Upon hearing this, Cui Bianxu also straightened his attitude.

He and Wang Mingqian had the same idea about this matter - it was abnormal.

"Yes, I have to find a way to check it out."

Given Cui Bianxu's popularity and temperament, no one would tell him about such fun things. "Why not let Zhao Shan go?"

Both of them have sensitive official positions and identities. Zhao Shan seldom goes out, and even less often goes to the court. It would not be conspicuous if he went to such a place.

"Let Wang Leisheng go with him." Cui Bianxu thought about it for a moment and agreed. "Old Wang is very knowledgeable about this kind of entertainment."

"can."

When Wang Leisheng and Zhao Shanyi heard the news, they immediately asked for money.

Zhao Shan is used to being stingy. Asking him to spend his own money to have fun would be like asking him to die!

As for Wang Leisheng, he had some small money on him, but it was definitely not enough for him to go to a brothel: "Shaoqing, all the money in my family is in the hands of my wife. If it was a serious matter, it would be fine, but this..."

If he dares to say that he wants money to go out and play, his wife will let the dogs bite him!

Xiao Cui, who occasionally had a sense of financial crisis, reluctantly took off his wallet and threw it over: "Remember, find a way to find out who is behind the God of Wealth Casino."

We must not waste his money!

How could such a large gambling house gain a foothold in the noble circle of Chang'an City in just a few months without having someone backing it up?

Are you kidding? In Chang'an City, anyone who can make money and has a bit of prestige has a big tree to lean on.

Wang Leisheng was extremely confident: "Alright! Shaoqing, don't worry! I promise to handle this matter perfectly! Don't worry about Master Zhao either. With me here, I guarantee he'll have a great time!"

Old Wang was so happy to be able to enjoy himself at public expense that he walked out with his wallet in his hand. He had to ask someone to go home and report first.

At the same time, the Jiang family also welcomed the joyous official media, the same one from before.

"Oh, old lady, madam, I'm determined to drink this cup of matchmaker tea today!"

The matchmaker always smiles at everyone he meets, but today's smile is absolutely sincere.

Not to mention that everyone in the Cui family is generous and gives generous rewards, this marriage alone has made her famous in the circle.

Nowadays, there are so many people looking for her to be a matchmaker that she has to run from one house to another all day long, and her legs have become thinner!
