Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 323 Soft Persimmon

During this period of time, the little girl had eaten well, dressed well, and slept well. The people in the Jiang family were all good people. In her opinion, Jiang's mother's cursing was not really cursing at all. The cursing in the countryside was really unpleasant!

If they really use the curse words from their country, none of these people can match them!

When she was in the village, every household treated their daughters badly. Daughters did all the housework, but ate the least. At that time, she didn't think it was strange. After all, everyone was like this, and being alive was better than being dead.

Anyone who died in the village had to be buried in the ground. Her father and mother would definitely not buy her a coffin. At most, they would bury her with a straw mat.

She didn't want to die. If she died by bad luck, how pitiful would it be to be alone in the cold and dark underground?

Jiang Shangxian tapped her forehead lightly. "Why are you talking so much? As long as you live seriously and eat well, you will have endless blessings."

Foodie Xiao Jiang believes that the most important things in the world are eating, sleeping, and sleeping well...

Eh... withdraw, withdraw.

The master and servant strolled around looking for a pond to feed the turtles. Feeding turtles was Xiao Jiang's hobby, and she was very happy to be able to feed the turtles. When she went out, she specially brought two big solid buns with her.

Unfortunately, the scale of Daxingshan Temple is too consistent with the majestic temperament of the Chinese people. In addition to the central courtyard, there are ten cross-courtyards in the east and west. The master and servant, one is from another place and the other is from outside the country, and they wandered around in there but couldn't find it.

"Oh..." Xiao Jiang, who was covered in sweat, couldn't help but sigh. The temples in the north were different from those in the south. The big temples in the south liked to build huge artificial lakes in very conspicuous locations. But after wandering around for a long time in the north, they didn't even see a small pond.

Yingzi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Auntie, this temple is so huge! I've never seen such a big house before. Even if my whole village moved in, it wouldn't be full, right?"

These words, which sounded like ignorant remarks from a country bumpkin from outside the province, caused many passersby to chuckle with their hands covering their lips. However, the master and servant were both too shameless and too excited to take them seriously at all.

Outsiders are outsiders. As long as they are not from their hometown, who is not an outsider?

The master and servant walked along the wall, trying not to get exposed to the sun. From time to time, they took a sip of the milk tea they carried on their shoulders. Gradually, the number of people decreased, and the heat in their bodies gradually faded away.

After walking around a door, Xiao Jiang, who was shaking his head comfortably, looked up and saw a small ornamental pond. In the middle of the pond was a lotus base, and on the base there was a stone sculpture of a carp with its mouth open and its tail supporting the ground.

Jiang Shangxian jumped up and down on the spot, patted Yingzi's shoulder, and rushed over happily: "Oh, this must be it!"

"Really? Really? Really?" Yingzi was also very excited. It was her first time participating in such an interesting outdoor activity. She rushed to the edge of the pond, clinging to the stone railing to look down, exclaiming in surprise: "Oh! Auntie! There really are turtles! There really are turtles! So many turtles!"

"Take it out quickly, one for each of us." Jiang Shangxian stared at the turtles that popped their heads out of the pond, and his hands were scratching Yingzi's body.

Yingzi was also reluctant to blink and took out two big buns and gave one to Jiang Shangxian: "Auntie, I will leave half for you."

Since her master likes it so much, she will just feed half of it to satisfy her!

"Why keep them? They're just two solid buns." Xiao Jiang waved his hand and broke off a small piece like breaking a bun in a mutton soup and threw it in. Immediately, several little turtles' heads rushed there.

Yingzi followed her example, breaking off a piece the size of a fingernail and throwing it down: "Wow! Auntie, they are really good at fighting for food!"

The two were just having a good time when they heard someone snort coldly, "Where did this peasant come from? He's yelling and making a fuss, disturbing everyone's peace."

The duo, who were inexplicably scolded for being a soft persimmon, looked at each other, silently closed their mouths and continued to feed the fish by clinging to the stone railing.

As we all know, those who are soft-hearted are very principled. Generally, as long as they don't hit each other with fists, they will only curse the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, when the man saw that they didn't respond, he started to sneer again: "How shameless! There are actually such shameless young ladies in Chang'an City."

Xiao Jiang silently and quickly grabbed two small pieces of buns and threw them into the pool. He still didn't say anything. The little soft persimmon Yingzi was a little scared and leaned towards the big soft persimmon Jiang Shangxian. He whispered, "Auntie, is she talking about us?"

"That shouldn't be the case." Xiao Jiang shook his head decisively, "She didn't mention us by name."

Suddenly, another female voice sounded, her voice a little hoarse, as if she had caught a cold. She opened her mouth and coughed twice: "Juhong, don't be rude."

Unexpectedly, this mild scolding made Yingzi move closer to Jiang Shangxian, their biceps touching. "I think she is scolding us."

She has plenty of experience in being scolded, so she shouldn't be wrong.

"I don't know." Xiao Jiang innocently broke off another piece of bun and threw it farther away.

Yingzi's face was filled with sadness: "Why did she scold us?"

"Maybe he's jealous that we have big buns to feed turtles." Jiang Shangxian started talking nonsense.

But Yingzi took it seriously. She had a lot of experience in being scolded for food. She immediately clenched the big bun in her hand, as if to cheer herself up: "We brought this from home."

The two who had spoken fell silent as they listened to their conversation. The maid named Juhong blushed crimson, looking extremely angry. She opened her mouth and said, "Who cares about your lousy little bastards! You're so noisy! Aren't those who are yelling just a bunch of idiots? They look like they've never seen the world!"

"Auntie, she is just scolding us." Yingzi's tone was very certain.

"Juhong! Ahem, if you continue to speak rudely like this, I will punish you, ahem..."

There was no way. Jiang Shangxian, who was pretending to be a cuckold, could no longer pretend. She quickly raised her head and looked around, and found that there seemed to be only four people in this place, her, Yingzi, and the two women on the opposite side of the pond who had just been blocked by the stone carp.

After observing the situation, Xiao Jiang calmed down. He twisted his wrists, feeling the arrows on his left and right hands. He comforted his maid with confidence: "It's okay."

Today's Xiao Jiang is no longer the Xiao Jiang of yesterday. Anyway, there is no one else here. If the other party wants to cause trouble, the worst that can happen is that they will be beaten up. One against two, she is confident!

Seeing that they still didn't respond, the person opposite took a few steps towards them and said apologetically, "Young lady, I'm sorry for being so rude. Please forgive me."
