Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 278: 1

In the case of Lady May's disappearance, Jiang Shangxian and Cui Bianxu were both quietly waiting for the person behind the scenes to be brought down.

Jiang Shangxian was in a good mood. To be honest, she was just a small figure in the world. She still had tasks to complete and didn't want to cause any trouble.

If the treasure boy accidentally turns into a funeral boy, she will be forced to switch careers and become a mourner.

"I only wish that you and I can stay together forever. After you retire, I will grow vegetables and make tea every day, so that we can have food and drink every morning and evening..."

If a person rushes into the vortex of politics and enters the chessboard of party struggles, it will become extremely complicated. Historical background, political stance, party influence, government ideology, policies and measures, diplomacy and military, economic development, etc....

When a person has a political stance, he is destined not to be innocent. Although Cui Bianxu did not say it, Jiang Shangxian had a feeling that the case of May Lady's disappearance was the first case that Cui Bianxu accepted, and he was definitely not as indifferent as he seemed.

She just hopes that Xiao Cui can maintain his position and not be eliminated. Although a qualified politician does not have to be the final winner, but can still retire with honor after losing.

But this is possible in modern times, but in ancient times, the possibility is too low.

She hopes that Xiao Cui has a job, a salary, some status, and can support the family well. That's all.

Otherwise, what good is it to climb higher? If you live in constant fear that one mistake will lead to total failure, wouldn't you even be able to eat properly?

What’s the point of life if you don’t even have the mood to eat properly?

As for the wealth and prosperity of future generations...

I'm sorry, humans cannot truly empathize with things they have not experienced. She has never been a mother and has never given birth to a child. She doesn't know if things will change after having her own child, but at this stage, the unmarried and childless Jiang Shangxian only thinks about living a stable and peaceful life, and being wealthy and prosperous.

"Yesterday after court, His Majesty spoke to me for a few words." Cui Bianxu didn't continue what she had just said, blushing and changing the subject. He was a little shy. The long and long time Jiang Shangxian talked about was also what he wanted in his heart. As long as he thought that soon they would be able to go in and out together every day, have regular meals, and sleep at night...

His face would enter a state that was difficult to control: his head would feel hot, his cheeks would burn, and the soles of his feet would wrinkle...

When Li Shimin was mentioned, Jiang Shangxian quickly got into the mood, his ears perked up. "What did His Majesty say?"

If possible, she would like to take a photo with Li Shimin and ask for his autograph.

Of course, this is a dream.

Unexpectedly, she reacted so excitedly that Cui Bianxu couldn't help but sit up, propping up his forehead with his hands, his eyes full of curiosity: "Your Majesty, you are very happy to hear that you and I are engaged."

"The things Your Majesty gave me are all very beautiful." Jiang Shangxian happily counted on his fingers to show off the good things he had received to Cui Bianxu.

She would be happy for a long time if she got a certificate of merit for active labor in class, let alone a good thing awarded by Erfeng. It was only because she didn't have a mobile phone and internet, otherwise she would immediately post on WeChat Moments, then on Weibo, then on a certain book, and after posting on the book, she would go to Douyin to connect with Tingquan and appraise treasures...

In short, the main character is known to everyone.

Li Shimin was indeed very happy. The Cui family was so sensible and did a better and more thorough job than he had originally expected. How could he not be happy?

Originally, we had thought of letting the Five Surnames and Seven Families marry into some small clans, so that we brothers wouldn't have to stick together in the same circle. But who knew that the Cui family would be so bold and directly find someone with no family background at all.

He was not without doubts in his heart. The clan attached great importance to face in strange places. When did the Cui family become so spineless?

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to do some face-saving work. Li Shimin happily congratulated Cui Bianxu and also took the opportunity to see Cui Bianxu's reaction to the marriage.

Who knew that Cui Bianxu would blush whenever Jiang Shangxian was mentioned? If Jiang Shangxian was praised, he would immediately follow suit. His expression was simply unbearable to watch.

Although Li Shimin listened to what Wu Meiniang said, Wu Meiniang herself did not believe that the people of the Cui family were playing pure love, let alone Li Shimin.

He also has a portrait of Jiang Shangxian, but she is still far from being a peerless beauty!

But who knew that Xiao Cui was really in love? Li Shimin praised Xiao Cui's behavior highly, saying that being in love is great, being in love is wonderful.

He has no shortage of capable ministers; he just wants the five surnames and seven families to be subdued and live their lives obediently.

Li Shimin was so happy that he even looked at Cui Bianxu with a more favorable attitude.

He gave Cui Bianxu, a young and inexperienced man, the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple without any consideration.

Given the Cui family's family background, if they could climb up step by step in a down-to-earth manner, the people and colleagues would probably look up to the Qinghe Cui family even more.

But he put Cui Bianxu in a high position right from the start. Not only the ordinary people, but also his colleagues and scholars were jealous of him. As long as he made a big mistake, countless people would trample on him to death, and also trample on the Cui family.

This principle is the same as in modern society, where people flatter the rich while hating them.

Being rich is original sin.

If a rich person is good at everything, it is even more sinful.

He used an open strategy. I gave him a good official position. Do you, the Cui family, want it?

Need?

Then continue with it.

The Cui family and Cui Bianxu understood this.

"Master! It's cooked!"

A voice called out from below, and they both looked out at the same time. They saw Wang Wan rubbing his earlobes with his fat hands and jumping up and down. He raised his big head with a simple smile on his face. "Come and take a look. I think it's almost done."

Ever since Jiang Shangxian and Manager Wang officially resigned that day, the three apprentices began to take turns coming to the Jiang family to study, and today was Wang Wan's turn.

Jiang Shangxian naturally and openly extended his hand to Cui Xu: "Let's go and take a look."

The cuffs of her sleeves revealed a round, white wrist, with a slightly raised wrist bone. Cui Bianxu's eyes fell on the two gold-inlaid Hetian white jade bracelets on her wrists. He took her hand and said seriously, "This is not a gift from me."

Although the material used is just okay, it is not expensive enough or fine enough, and you can tell from the craftsmanship that it was not made by top craftsmen.

Jiang Shangxian: .....

"It's the engagement gift that Shopkeeper Wang sent to us. I just forgot to tell you." Jiang Shangxian explained with a smile, emphasizing the word 'us'.

As expected, Cui Bianxu blushed again and said awkwardly, "Then, why don't you give me one?"

If it was an engagement gift, he thought the two bracelets looked pretty good, not that bad. It was obvious that they were made with a lot of thought, and they were a good gift. He liked them very much.

A question mark slowly appeared in Jiang Shangxian's head. She didn't understand why her private property was going to be divided up?
