Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 389 Mother and daughter meet

Amidst the chaos and turmoil, Zhao Yue finally managed to change into a dignified and elegant outfit as quickly as possible. She stroked the jade hairpin by her temples nervously and excitedly, "Hurry up, hide all the weapons in the courtyard and follow me out."

Zhao Yue hadn't seen her mother for many years, so one can imagine how she felt. She was tall, and one step was as long as two steps for others. She quickened her pace, causing the maids behind her to jog after her.

Lian Huan, the most professional maid in the Cui Mansion of Chang'an, had her legs almost leaving a shadow, but her upper body remained motionless. "Don't worry, Madam. Guizhi is waiting at the door. She has already sent someone to the Dali Temple to find Jiulang."

Dali Temple

Upon receiving this news, Cui Bianxu's first reaction was to kick the dozing Jian Ming on the butt: "Quick, bring back the messenger!"

Although he didn't know how his people who went out with the mission of inquiring about information could bring Liu Manqiang back directly, something must have happened in the process. Li Sheng has always been calm and not a reckless person. There must be a reason why he had to bring the person back.

However, there are also benefits to my grandmother coming. It saves us the trouble of long distance and inconvenient communication. I originally thought that this matter would not be known until next year...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously shouted outside: "Jianming, prepare the horses!"

After calling out twice, he remembered that Jian Ming had just been sent out by him, so he had to run out by himself.

Outside the Cui Mansion, Liu Manqiang looked at her grandson's house with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with Yue Niang? Why did you buy such a small house for Yi'er? I'm afraid it will be a little small when he gets married and has children in the future."

This house is not as big as their Liu family's!

Zheng Qiuyi smiled and said, "It looks quite big to me. The houses I saw on the way here were all about this size. Jiulang's is considered big. Chang'an City is crowded, not like our Guazhou, which is vast and sparsely populated."

"Come with me for a walk and have a look in a couple of days. If there is a bigger house for sale, buy it." Liu Manqiang still felt dissatisfied. She brought all the money of the Liu family with her this time. It was just a matter of buying a house.

Just think of it as a meeting between my grandson and his wife.

"Madam, we're home!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Huirong couldn't wait to lift the curtain and jump down. Before she could even stand firmly, she stretched out her paws to the back: "Madam, let me support you!"

Zheng Qiuyi slapped her hand lightly: "You are so reckless. Go by yourself!"

She might fall down soon! She should help him up!

Huirong retracted her hand and turned around to see Zhao Yue and her men hurriedly walking towards the door. Without even bothering to speak up for herself, she ran towards Zhao Yue with red eyes, "Madam! I'm back!"

Zhao Yue, who was driving fast, almost bumped into her, but Qiaoxiang was quick enough to pull her aside, thus preventing the two from colliding.

Zhao Yue patted her chest and wanted to scold her, but when she saw Huirong's face, which had darkened a little, she couldn't say anything. "Thank you for your hard work. Go downstairs and change your clothes and rest. I'll talk to you later."

Then he turned to Lianhuan and said, "Tell the kitchen to make her some food. I'm afraid she's suffered a lot on the way."

She had to ask what had happened on the way. Why had her mother been dragged all the way to Chang'an? Why had her father agreed to this?

"Yes! Thank you, my lady!" Hui Rong was so moved that tears started to fall down her face. Her lady just loved her!

After all, home is the best place!

Zhao Yue waved her hand and ran to the door with an anxious look on her face. The moment she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, tears fell like heavy rain and her vision became blurred in an instant.

Her calves felt weak, her head numb, and she stumbled towards the thin, emaciated figure. She opened and closed her mouth several times, wanting to say a thousand words, but when she reached him, she could only tremble and call out, "Mother!"

The first time she saw her daughter, Liu Manqiang straightened her back and tried to make herself look more energetic.

She opened her mouth to say that she walked in an unruly manner, but the words circled in her mouth and turned a corner with misty tears in her eyes. Her hands trembled as she stroked her daughter's arms back and forth: "My Yue Niang~ Why are you so thin..."

The sadness and tearful look on Liu Manqiang's face froze. She wanted to say that he had lost weight, but as she touched him, she couldn't say the words.

Ok?

How did you get so fat?

Zhao Yue couldn't stop crying: "Mother, I miss you so much..."

"Hey, hey!"

Liu Manqiang responded, holding her hand tightly and unwilling to let go. She had thought that she would never see her daughter again until she died, but she never thought that this day would come. "Let's go inside and talk. It's cold outside. Don't cry. The wind is strong. If it gets on your face, it will make you look uglier..."

How could you become so fat?

Zheng Qiuyi's eyes were also filled with tears. She had watched Zhao Yue grow up, and when she was little, she often took Zhao Yue everywhere to play. "Madam, the carriage behind is full of servants of the Liu family. I wonder if there is a place for them to stay for a few days?"

They must find a house to house their servants. They can't let everyone follow them all the way here and not even have a safe place to live.

Zhao Yue wiped her tears upon hearing this, and cried and laughed at her, "What are you talking about, Aunt Zheng? Aren't the Liu family's people my people? What do you mean by settling them down for a few days? Of course they're staying at home!"

There are no male heirs in the Liu family, so all the people and property will eventually be given to Zhao Yue.

But Zhao Yue wasn't stupid. She could tell something was amiss: "Why are they all from the Liu family? Where are the Zhao family?"

Logically speaking, when her mother goes out, even if she brings some from the Liu family, she must also bring some from the Zhao family.

"I'll tell you the details after we get inside. Let's settle everyone down first. We've suffered a lot along the way." Liu Manqiang wanted to look decent and didn't want to be watched outside.

"Qiaoxiang, go and make the arrangements, and ask Li Meng to make more food."

He exchanged glances with her, immediately making arrangements, and then helped Zhao Yue inside. "My lady, I'm afraid the old lady must be very tired after such a long journey. Let's go in first and have a drink of hot water. It would be more appropriate to ask the stove to make some food."

"Yes, yes, you are right. Look at me, I am so happy that I am silly."

Zhao Yue wiped her tears and walked inside holding her mother's arm: "Mother, I've already sent someone to talk to Yi'er. Let's go in first. He should be back soon."

The group got on the bus and entered the inner courtyard. Cui Shuhua, who had received the news, was already waiting. Seeing them come in, she smiled and went over to support Liu Manqiang on the other side. "Madam, I haven't seen you for many years, and you're still so strong. It must have been an difficult journey."

As for the tears on the faces of the group of people, she simply pretended not to see them. It would be strange if the biological mother and daughter didn't cry after not seeing each other for many years!
