Chapter 402: Attempted Discipleship

Two days later, the sage issued an edict to announce to the world, first, to congratulate the sweet potato and potato harvest; The second is to announce that the imperial court will vigorously promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and set up vermicelli workshops in Chang'an and Luoyang, and private establishments are not allowed, and other prefectures will allow private vermicelli workshops to be set up; Third, vermicelli made from sweet potatoes and potatoes will be included in the tax. Eight? One? Chinese (1) ??. (8) 8?1 (8) Z (8) ?. COM

After that, in just two days, another edict was issued, explaining in detail the proportion of vermicelli included in taxes in various places, as well as various measures to promote planting in the imperial court; The edict was issued to inform the world that the auction was about to be held and various detailed policy measures. However, in a few days, several edicts were issued, which shows the importance of the imperial court.

As the person in charge, Xue Lang couldn't help but feel excited, there was a subtle sense of participation in historical events, and in addition, the imperial court attached so much importance to Xue Lang, and there would definitely be a reward for Xue Lang, which would have great benefits for his fame and status, simply put, he had made meritorious service again!

Not to mention anything else, there are many more people who go out to work, participate in court meetings, and greet him, Xue Lang is not a cold person, others treat each other politely, he also smiles, and inadvertently brushed up on the comments of the ministers in the court and the central government on him, and slightly changed the previous image of being silent.

The auction also has an atmospheric brewing time, but the cotton can be harvested. The people who assisted Xue Lang in planting cotton and harvesting were all old people transferred from Weize Pass, and Sinong Temple did not participate, compared to the harvesting of sweet potatoes and potatoes, Xue Lang was much more leisurely, and allocated more energy to manage his farm.

On Xue Lang Village, there are not many sweet potatoes and potatoes, but a lot of cotton is planted. When the cotton is harvested, it is almost the autumn harvest, but fortunately, Xue Si is capable, Xue Lang is not busy this year, but has free time.

When it came to the rest of the day, the princess of Pingyang sent a letter and asked him to go to the red leaf mountain outside the city to enjoy the maple on the rest of the day. There is a mountain outside Chang'an City that is planted with maple trees, in summer, the fiery red maple leaves all over the mountain, when people call it Red Leaf Mountain, often go here to play and enjoy the beautiful scenery of maple leaves, the house of the powerful has a courtyard nearby, Princess Pingyang also has an industry there. is approaching the wedding, and it is inconvenient for the two to communicate openly, so they can only meet so quietly.

Xue Lang is too busy these days, and she is about to get married to avoid suspicion, Princess Pingyang has seen less, and she misses it very much.

I got up early in the morning and drank a bowl of porridge and went out of the city, and when I arrived at the Red Leaf Mountain, it was almost the time for the morning meal. Xue Lang only brought the guards and Changjian, arrived at the bottom of the mountain, climbed the steps, and after walking for a while, Akou appeared in a colorful suit, which startled Xue Lang and couldn't help asking: "Akou, what is a good day today?" Dressed like this...... Not...... Festive? ”

Ako looked at him speechlessly, with a straight face: "Could it be that in the eyes of the colt, the slave can only wear black?" ”

Xue Lang laughed, and wanted to say in his heart, it's not that Ako can only wear black clothes, but as a secret guard, don't you think it's too bright to wear colorful clothes?

However, seeing that Ako's pace in front of him was very brisk, Xue Lang couldn't bear to complain and didn't say anything, so as not to hurt Ako's girlish heart.

Princess Pingyang's annex is built in the middle of the mountain, which is a pavilion, just facing the maple leaves in the valley, and has an excellent view. When Xue Lang was led in, his eyes lit up, and his hands couldn't help but itch, this scenery was so beautiful that people wanted to draw it.

When she went to the pavilion, Princess Pingyang sat on the spacious balcony on the second floor, and let people set up obstacles to block the slightly ** sunshine in autumn, put a low table in front of her, burned incense on the low table, and put a piano on her lap, plucked it twice from time to time, looked into the distance, but there was no focal length, obviously she didn't belong, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even show up when Xue Lang came. It wasn't until Xue Lang sat down opposite her that he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Youyang is here." ”

Xue Lang nodded, and asked Changjian to carry up the things he brought-

He brought a small red clay stove for making soup and a homemade barbecue. The charcoal fire on the small red clay stove was still burning, put the soup pot that had been stewed all night last night again, and continued to simmer slowly over low heat, and for a while, the fragrance came to the nose.

Princess Pingyang asked curiously: "What kind of food does Youyang bring, the fragrance is so attractive." ”

Xue Lang said: "Stewed pork lungs with olive radish, dry in autumn, drink more nourishing soup, last night asked someone to stew all night, it should have been tasted, wait for the heat to be good, drink a few bowls." ”

Princess Pingyang nodded happily, watching him methodically uncover the food box and bring out a few dishes from it-

"It's called cold pork ears and kelp...... That is what you call kelp, salted shrimp, fried spinach, plus a soup, the staple steamed bun. Someone will roast a chicken later, is there anything else you want to eat? ”

Princess Pingyang shook her head with a smile and said, "These are enough." ”

After speaking, he paused, and then said: "I made an appointment with someone in the other courtyard today, but this person is very special and wants Youyang to accompany me to meet guests." ”

The tone was a little uncertain and hesitant, as if he was a little hesitant to see this guest. Xue Lang knew Princess Pingyang's temperament and felt strange, but he still said firmly: "Yes, no problem." May I ask who you are seeing? ”

Princess Pingyang said: "Sichuan Yuan Tiangang." ”

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, and Princess Pingyang continued: "A world-famous warlock, good at the art of face-to-face. You Yang shouldn't have heard of it, right? ”

A lie has to be fulfilled with countless lies! Xue Lang nodded decisively, and secretly said in his heart No wonder a person who is as calm and calm as Princess Pingyang would have such a moment of distraction, it turned out that he wanted to see Yuan Tiangang.

Xue Lang couldn't help but take Princess Pingyang's hand and asked, "Your Highness still minds the prophecy?" ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes were veined, her eyes looked at him affectionately, her jade hand gently covered the back of his hand, and sighed: "How can you not mind!" There is a young sun in the world, so how can people give up! ”

Ah! Her Royal Highness the princess's love words are so moving!

Xue Lang's heart was beating like a drum, his face couldn't help but smile, his eyes were shining at people, as if he wanted to carve people into his heart, he obviously had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, and finally it only turned into a sentence: "I'm with you!" ”

Princess Pingyang knew that he was clumsy, smiled and held his hand, nodded heavily, and said with a decisive look on her face: "I heard that Yuan's uncle and nephew are good at face-to-face skills, and they are straightforward, and their predictions are extremely accurate. Back then, A-Niang wanted to ask Yuan Shoucheng to meet me, but she had no chance to do so, so she had to give up. Some time ago, when we went to visit Miao Chu, Miao Chu told me that Yuan Shoucheng's nephew, Yuan Tiangang, would come to Chang'an in the near future. ”

Princess Pingyang paused and said, "I hesitated for a few days, but recently I finally made up my mind and invited him to meet me. No matter what the outcome is, I don't want anything more than to get to know you now. ”

Princess Pingyang's expression was not as calm as before, she seemed to be a little uneasy, holding Xue Lang's hand, unconsciously forced, and squeezed Xue Lang's palm painfully.

Xue Lang knew that Princess Pingyang's prophecy when she was a child had made her suffer all the time, and the pressure on her heart must have been great, if it weren't for Princess Pingyang's firm mind and replaced a weaker person, I am afraid that she would have been crushed long ago.

This year is the sixth year of Wude, the year of her death in the prophecy, and she has never been exposed to the outside world by relying on her tenacity. Now with Xue Lang, she has concern in her heart, has a weakness, and naturally loses her former tenacity, because she cares, because she is reluctant, so she will hesitate, so she will be uneasy.

Xue Lang felt pain and emotion in his heart, held her hand back, and said firmly: "The so-called face is born from the heart, and the matter is man-made. I never believed in fate, and I will always be with you. If you want to see Yuan Tiangang, you will see it, it's nothing if you don't see it, I believe we will be able to get married in peace, start a family, you will give me a lovely baby, we will always be together, until one day we are both white, I will become a little old man, and you will also become a little old woman, every morning and evening I will lead you to take a walk in our own garden, at noon, play chess together, fishing, and ...... in the afternoon"

Xue Lang couldn't help but start to imagine the future days of the two, Princess Pingyang softened her eyebrows a little when she heard this, looking at Xue Lang's gaze, her veins were shining, her eyes seemed to be sparkling, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and the picture described by Xue Lang couldn't help but begin to appear in her mind-

"Can we really have that day?"

"Of course! Do you doubt my feelings for you? ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and shook her head: "I never doubted it!" ”

"That's good! Don't be suspicious, you know? ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and nodded, her smile was soft, she saw Xue Lang's heart beating wildly, she looked at the red lips and was stunned, she really wanted to kiss her and taste the taste, probably sweet-

"Lady, Yuan Tiangang has arrived!"

Princess Pingyang smiled: "Hurry up, please!" ”

Xue Lang choked: "Why doesn't this person look at the time!" It would be better to be a little later! ”

Princess Pingyang smiled "poof", patted his hand lightly, and sneered slightly: "Deng's disciple!" ”

Xue Lang sighed: "It's obviously an attempt, how can you be a disciple, you have a false name in vain, I don't accept it!" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled again, the weight of her heart was miraculously lighter, looking at Xue Lang's eyes, she couldn't help but soften a little, and held his hand: "Youyang accompany me!" ”

Xue Lang accepted the joke and agreed seriously and firmly: "Okay! ”
