Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 457: Poetry Lock

Liu Manqiang opened her eyes and yawned - she was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

"You only have two weeks left. Have you got your permit approved? Have you packed your things? Don't worry about this, Yonghefang Qi Saburo, right?"

She had indeed not started packing yet. There were already quite a few scattered daily necessities that she had to take with her on the journey, plus food, snacks, and gifts for the Cui family. Just thinking about it made her feel dizzy.

The pass has not been approved yet, but there is no need to rush. Cui Shuhua said that she will get it done.

Liu Manqiang patted the back of her hand and said, "I've made note of this. You don't have to worry about it. Go back and tell your family to do what they're supposed to do. They should continue to work and live their lives as usual. He's just a fly. Why are you rushing here in such a hurry? If Tete keeps such a mediocre person in his heart, you'll lose your dignity."

Then she looked at Zheng Qiuyi and said, "Go, get the things and ask her to take them back later."

No matter what that person wants to do, just have someone keep an eye on him. All the servants of the Liu family are idle.

This little girl has not experienced much and is a little timid.

If you ask her, the most important thing to be the mistress of a family is to keep calm and be decisive in taking action.

He is just a student, not an official. If he still doesn't know how to proceed after being beaten twice, then I will just kill him.

She could guess some of the Jiang family's concerns. They were just afraid that the scoundrel who deserved to be killed would go out and say something bad and ruin the young lady's reputation.

A woman’s reputation is important, but how important can it be?

In this world, there are so many divorces. It’s just that they were targeted by ignorant thieves. What’s the big deal?

Jiang Shangxian blinked her eyes. She mentioned the sleeping pills just to lure out the poisons and poisons in Liu Manqiang's hands. She didn't really want to learn it.

After all, cooks like them always have some professional habits. For example, when they cook something, they like to dip a pair of chopsticks in it and taste it.

If I was doing poison, my professional habits would kick in and I'd taste it...

Xiao Jiang shook his head. It was horrible! It was truly horrible!

She just wanted to take some and give it to Xia Zhenying for self-defense, and if she found something suitable, she would secretly give some to that thief Qi Sanlang.

Anyway, as long as no one is killed, everything else is fine.

Unexpectedly, Liu Manqiang took over the matter directly.

She didn't even have time to think about what to give herself before she asked curiously, "Grandma, what are you going to do about this?"

Liu Manqiang nodded at her forehead. "As a master, what can't you delegate to your servants? I heard you still have some staff on your farm. I'll ask Granny Zheng to look after them for you in the next two days. They'll all go with you to Qinghe. If they're too stupid, like that little girl beside you, it's better to sell them off and get smarter ones."

It's enough to have a silly girl around to amuse you. If they are all stupid, then the master and the slave will be sold together and he won't even be able to count the money for them!

Xiao Jiang had forgotten for some time that he had a dowry, and only remembered it on the tenth day of the first lunar month. He hurriedly prepared some things and asked Jiang Wangri to send them to the farm.

Even if it is an employee benefit issued by yourself.

"Grandma, won't you come with us to Qinghe?" Jiang Shangxian understood the meaning of her words and his head perked up.

She even thought that Liu Manqiang would go to the wedding with them.

"I'm not going."

Liu Manqiang curled her lips: "Your future grandfather..."

She was afraid that she would feel like hitting people when she saw Cui Zhe's concubines in that courtyard, and she also didn't want to see her silly daughter doing stupid things under her nose. She was already this old, and if she got hurt because of anger, who could she turn to for justice?

Forget it, forget it. She didn't say anything bad about that guy in front of the younger generation: "Anyway, he and I are destined to clash. I feel uncomfortable just looking at him. Let's forget it. It's just that the ground has thawed during the time you were away. I can change the feng shui of this house to avoid so many people walking around here all day long. It's very annoying."

Zheng Qiuyi came out holding a jewelry box, which looked quite large. "Ms. Jiang, this thing is quite heavy. I'll ask someone to take you back later."

It is made of solid wood, layer by layer, and there are things placed in each layer. How can it not be heavy?

Xiao Jiang hurried over to help her with the food, his eyes shining like those of a man who had found a roast chicken: "Grandma, what good thing are you giving me this time?"

She had long discovered that rich people were generous and would give away exquisite and valuable things without any regret.

Originally, Xiao Jiang had decided not to get together with Liu Manqiang, but the old lady's generosity made her shamefully waver.

How can a young man argue with an old lady?

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue!

There is also a small poem lock hanging on the top of the jewelry box. This thing is similar to a combination lock. The horizontal axis in the middle is a cylindrical wheel with words engraved on it. If you want to open it, you have to match the words on the wheel.

This is a four-character combination lock, and there are four characters to align with: "Grandma, how do I open it?"

Liu Manqiang glanced at her and said calmly, "Why ask such a simple thing? Just figure it out yourself. If you can't figure it out, just leave it there."

Oh ~

The little old lady is playing a puzzle game with me?

Jiang Shangxian was not worried at all that he would not be able to unlock it. There were only a few words on this lock, and he could always open it by trying them one by one.

After leaving Liu Manqiang, Xiao Jiang stopped by Zhang Yingxue to check in.

They were about to set off for Qinghe. Zhang Yingxue didn't pay much attention to her studies. Classes had been suspended for quite a while due to the cold weather. When he saw her, he just gave her several volumes of books and said, "Don't waste your time on the road." Then he sent her away.

Zhang Yingxue really likes this job. It is so comfortable and easy. All she thinks about every day is eating and drinking. After she is full, she reads a book. She feels so much more comfortable than when she got married.

Xiao Jiang strolled around the Cui Mansion, greeted each elder one by one, and finally went back in the Cui family's carriage.

The bad mood I had when I came here is long gone. This is the joy of being able to rely on my parents.

At her age, Xiao Deng is in the golden age of being able to rely on her parents. After relying on the old Deng, she can also rely on the middle Deng. In the future, when she has a baby, she can also rely on the mini Deng...

After all, life is so easy!

When the carriage arrived home, Old Madam Xia was waiting for her.

As soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to pull her back into the house: "Nian Nu, what's wrong?!"
