Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 535 Departure

Humph, so what if my own medicine is really effective?

After being ill for so many years, even if she could have a child, she would have to recuperate for some time. How could she compare to her son and daughter-in-law who were in good health and could kill a tiger with their bare hands?

Zhao Yue couldn't help feeling proud whenever she thought of this. You, Zheng Bojiang, can't compare to your son, and you can't compare to your grandson either!

The conversation had come to a head, and even though Jiang Shangxian had no plans to have a baby in the past year, he had no choice but to support his mother-in-law. He immediately puffed out his fat belly and said shyly, "It's my daughter-in-law who is useless. I have to trouble you, old man, please don't blame me."

Cui Zhe, who was repeatedly called out, rubbed his nose and said seriously, "Offspring are the most important thing. I will also help you take care of the child when the time comes."

His current position does not allow him to hesitate. If he hesitates for even a moment longer, his wife Yue Niang might remember him again. It would be better for him to just choose a side.

As Cui Zhe spoke, he did not forget to wink at Cui Bianxu, who was watching people moving luggage not far away. He had realized that his wife, sister, and even the new daughter-in-law were all firecrackers. If they continued talking, they might end up fighting.

"Let's go, don't delay." Receiving his gaze, Cui Bianxu walked over to urge, completely ignoring the eldest family who were so angry at their grandson's remarks that their lips were tightened.

Be angry, what can you do if you are angry?

Jiang Shangxian and the other two walked in unison, turning around without hesitation and heading back to the deck. Cui Zhe couldn't help but follow them a few steps, calling out hesitantly, "Yue Niang, I..."

The name Yue Niang called out in a tortuous way, as if it contained countless tender feelings. Xiao Jiang silently shook off goosebumps and rubbed Cui Shuhua's arms, which made Cui Shuhua roll her eyes at her in annoyance.

Zhao Yue paused but didn't turn back. She exhaled deeply and whispered, "I left a letter for you under the pillow."

"Ah? Hey! Hey! Okay, I, I'll go back and check it. Be careful on the road, and then I'll come find you!" When Cui Zhe heard that there was a letter left for him, he was so happy that he nodded repeatedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Cui Bianxu saluted Cui Zhou and Cui Wei in a rambling manner, then turned around to block his steps as he was about to follow him onto the boat: "Aye, go back. There's no need to see me off."

Just a few more steps and then we'll follow.

Cui Zhe, who was staring at his wife's back with a silly look on his face, was blocked from view by his son who was a head taller than him. His face immediately fell, and he muttered reluctantly: "Arrange more people to be on duty every day. Your mother and the others are all women. It's a long journey, and there might be some blind people..."

Long-winded!

Cui Bianxu was impatient with his nagging and quickly boarded the boat in a few steps. "Let's go."

The sails were hoisted, the oars were swaying, the Cui clan flag rustled in the wind, and the nanmu ship slowly sailed away from the shore. Cui Zhe looked towards the cabin with reluctance in his eyes.

Cui's is no longer his home, his family is all on this ship.

On the second floor of the ship, Zhao Yue hid behind the window, watching the figure on the shore gradually getting smaller. His hand was still waving hard. The wind blew, and she seemed to hear someone calling faintly: Yue Niang, wait for me!

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the cabin door, and she quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks: "Come in."

Cui Bianxu led Jiang Shangxian inside without hesitation and said, "Mother, what letter did you leave for Aye?"

Jiang Shangxian, who was following behind, wished time could go back - she shouldn't have followed!

Just now, the two of them were watching the servants packing up in their cabin. She casually mentioned: Mother and grandfather have such a good relationship. Mother just said that she left a letter for grandfather at home.

As a result, Cui Bianxu brought her over and asked if his mother needed any help.

That's it?

help?

Xiao Jiang seriously suspected that this man just wanted to know some gossip.

Zhao Yue's sadness was instantly shattered by his howl. She sniffed and said unhappily, "What's it to you?!"

"I am your biological son, and this is your biological daughter-in-law. What is there to hide?" Cui Bianxu didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all. He waved his hand and drove the servants out.

It's tiring enough to pretend and play tricks with outsiders all day long, so why bother doing that in your own home?

Zhao Yue glared at him angrily and plopped down on the soft stool. "I haven't even looked for you yet, and you've come to me! Let me ask you, when did you find out about the Liu family?"

This brat, I didn’t settle the score with him a few days ago, and now he dares to come up to me?

Zhao Yue, who had no husband to vent her anger on and still had a son, slammed the table and said, "Why didn't you discuss this with me first?"

Xiao Jiang, who had just sat down and was adjusting his hips, shuddered with fear and lowered his head in a stupid manner: According to the rules of the Jiang family, when small troubles come, everyone can escape, but when big troubles come, you can't escape.

It's best to stay still at times like this, even pay attention to your breathing, and don't make too much noise!

Cui Bianxu was not at all panicked. His buddy had been beaten up since he was a child, and even with such a small incident, he hadn't even started to fight. "Grandma said, 'Mother, you are shallow-minded and can't hide things. There's no need to tell you unless it's absolutely necessary.' I think what Grandma said is very reasonable."

Xiao Jiang took one look at the girl's annoying look and quickly moved aside. Don't let blood splash on her new clothes!

Noticing her little movement, Cui Bianxu pulled her back with a wave of his hand, and whispered loudly in her ear: "My lady, if you go any further, you will fall to the ground."

Jiang Shangxian was so angry that he twisted his waist fiercely, raised his head and smiled at Zhao Yue innocently: "Mother, I just found out about this too."

Zhao Yue, who was itching to beat her son, clenched her fists and kept repeating to herself: Give my daughter-in-law some face!

Xiao Jiang felt distressed seeing the look on her face. She even wanted to suggest beating the child to vent her anger so as to avoid getting breast nodules.

Fortunately, Cui Bianxu didn't really want to piss his mother off to death, and he quickly got down to business: "Once we get to Anyang Wharf, I'll change boats and go to Hangzhou, and then you can go back to Chang'an first."

As he spoke, he looked down at his wife's skull and said, "Apologize to my mother-in-law on my behalf. When I get back, I'll come and apologize in person."

Although there is no strict custom that a son-in-law must accompany his bride back to her parents' home after marriage, and the restrictions on women in the Tang Dynasty were much more relaxed than in other dynasties, women were generally not supervised when they returned to their parents' home after marriage.

But the Cui family has always followed ancient rituals. Cui Bianxu originally planned to accompany Jiang Shangxian to return home officially, but as a result of this incident, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete this project for the time being.

Xiao Cui felt a little guilty because there were too many troubles at home.

Jiang Shangxian didn't really care about returning home. Her parents' home was so close, it would be a simple trip. She was just worried about Xiao Cui: "You must bring more people with you this time. Lingnan Road has always been full of miasma, and the customs and language of the people are different from those in Chang'an. You must be careful this time."

If she wasn't afraid of worrying her family, she would actually like to go with Cui Bianxu.
