Chapter 118: The Dragon Boat Festival is over on the fifth day of the fifth month of May
Xue Lang said: "My subordinates have heard that the clothes woven with raw silk are fine, and even the arrows cannot be worn, even if they are shot, the arrows will be shot into the wound together with the clothes. ”
Legend has it that the Mongolian iron cavalry across the Eurasian continent, before each battle, will put on a silk garment woven of raw silk, this kind of clothing is difficult to be pierced by arrows, the warrior is shot by an arrow, will only be inserted into the wound with the arrow and clothes, the doctor only needs to pull out the clothes when he treats, and the clothes can be pulled out together with the arrow, which greatly reduces the casualties of the Mongolian iron cavalry.
Xue Lang didn't know what calamity Princess Pingyang would encounter, so he could only do his best to remind Her Royal Highness the princess to take more precautions, and to be more prepared, so that she would have a better chance of surviving the catastrophe of life and death.
Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang's gaze, quite strange, but her expression disappeared in a blink of an eye, and she returned to her former calm appearance, and asked, "How could Youyang think of this?" ”
Xue Lang naturally couldn't tell Her Royal Highness that the princess was to protect her life, so he could only say: "Watching the martial arts today, the soldiers are mighty and strong, and they are hard and diligent. Behind every soldier, it represents a family, and it is the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, but I still hope that the soldiers can return safely. ”
Princess Pingyang was pleased: "The heart of the benevolent, but that's it. Youyang has a heart, and I will arrange someone to do it. ”
Xue Lang said sincerely: "For the sake of cost, you don't need to make a full-body robe, you only need to make the length of a short brown blouse to protect the vital points." As a subordinate, my subordinates implore His Highness to wear this dress as well, and take care of your body. ”
Princess Pingyang saw that Xue Lang said sincerely, as if she was moved, and agreed: "Yes." ”
Xue Lang also told at ease: "It's best to find a weaver with superb weaving skills, weave several layers of fine and dense weaving, the more insurance the better, the neckline is best a round-necked robe, the style is woven into a short brown style, and the jacket and pants can be worn separately to protect the body to the greatest extent." ”
After telling him, he seemed to be at ease, pulled a piece of paper, and wanted to draw the style. Her Royal Highness the princess was silent, drinking tea by herself, but Chu Xue on the side coughed and reminded: "Xue Counselor, the style you said, the slave and maid are already clear, and there is no need to draw it anymore." ”
was interrupted by the first snow, and Xue Lang reacted, Princess Pingyang is a lady, he is a man, and he is a subordinate, how can he design clothes for Her Royal Highness the princess? Passover!
Xue Lang's face was full of discomfort, and he hurriedly bowed his head and clenched his fists to apologize: "It's a subordinate who is rude, please punish His Highness." ”
Princess Pingyang put down the tea bowl, waved her hand, and said: "Youyang is also out of a public heart, if it is not frivolous, it is okay." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your innocence."
Unintentionally made such a fuss, Xue Lang was embarrassed to sit down again, and hurriedly said goodbye. Her Royal Highness the princess was able to calm down, her expression was calm, and she watched Xue Lang retreat without showing any embarrassment.
In this way, Xue Lang was much more relaxed.
After thanking him, he listened back to the wind courtyard, and Hexiang had sorted out the rewards of Her Royal Highness the princess and compiled them into a book. Except for official robes, official boots, belts, and other things, the gold, silver, and jewelry given by the princess were of excellent condition, and there were no markings. In other words, Xue Lang just took it out and pawned it and sold it for money, so it was okay.
But every reward is generally marked with an internal creation, and it is not allowed to be resold privately, and it is illegal to resell it. Xue Lang has a thin foundation, and he can almost be said to be alone after arriving in the Tang Dynasty, and these things rewarded by Her Royal Highness the princess are much more practical than the farm house given by the prince.
Xue Lang is a bachelor, he eats and lives in the house, follows Princess Pingyang to serve in Weize Pass, and sends him Tian Zhai In fact, Xue Lang's current situation is not appropriate, unless Xue Lang has entered Beijing to take up a post, otherwise, Tian Zhai is not convenient to deal with, and he doesn't even have a manager who can be a director.
Princess Pingyang's reward made Xue Lang's heart even hotr, such a reward, whether he used it himself or distributed it to Jiang Lin. Women are indeed more thoughtful than men.
The first day of May is over, but a few days is the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival. Except for those on duty, the rest of them are on holiday.
A few days earlier, Xue Lang instructed Ah Chen to prepare things for the festival, picked zongzi leaves and soaked them in water the first day, and got up early the next morning, everyone wrapped zongzi together, and there happened to be glutinous rice bought back by Xiu Mu last time-
No wonder you can buy glutinous rice in the grain store, it turns out that it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival!
Xiuniang made the bean paste early, obviously, Xiuniang is a sweet party. Eating zongzi, Xue Lang is firmly salty party.
Take down the hanging bacon and make it fat and thin, which is ready to make bacon dumplings; There is also fresh pork belly, which was specially cut at the farm; There are also salted duck eggs that have been marinated for almost a month.
The servants of a courtyard looked at the materials, all dumbfounded. Jiang Lin was also puzzled: "Big brother, can you eat this meat dumpling?" ”
Another sweet party! The reverse end! So is this a story of the salty party in the base camp of the sweet party?
Xue Langyi said solemnly: "Of course, you have to eat salty zongzi, sweet bean curd and salty zongzi, which has been the case since ancient times." ”
Jiang Lin was dumbfounded: "Since ancient times...... Really? I think it's because the younger brother reads few books, I don't know which book the eldest brother reads? ”
Xue Lang: "......"
Life is really lonely like snow. This feeling is like facing a group of sweet parties, as the only salty party, they originally planned to fight for thirty pages, but the sweet parties didn't even talk.
Life, how can a loneliness be described!
Xue Lang suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said: "I bought a lot of glutinous rice, everyone should pack it according to their own taste, make a few more, and wrap all the ingredients." If you don't eat salty, just pack a few less. ”
Seeing Xue Lang's sudden decline, Jiang Lin said thoughtfully: "I think the eldest brother is used to eating salty, why don't you pack more and send it to the neighbors and princesses to try it?" ”
That's right! He can develop and strengthen the Xian Party!
Xue Lang nodded, came to the interest, followed everyone, formed a circle in the courtyard, and made zongzi lively. Because there are many people who make zongzi by hand, it only takes two or three minutes to wrap all the prepared materials, let Xiuniang take it to boil, Xue Lang asked people to set up a stove in the courtyard, bring a pot, and prepare to boil tea eggs.
Xue Lang was interested, and deliberately took Wanfu and Changjian out, picked some leaves and petals back, and asked Xiuniang for a piece of woven rough linen, cut it into small pieces, put the leaves on the eggs, and wrap them.
Put it in a pot and cook it with the seasoning, and then remove the gauze and leaves and petals when cooked, and the patterns of the leaves and petals are printed on the egg shell, which looks interesting and cute.
I learned this from Xue Qing, and the little girl likes to fiddle with these things, very simple but interesting things. Hexiang and Lamei liked it very much, and they were reluctant to eat the eggs that Xue Lang gave them.
Xue Lang said with a smile: "You must eat zongzi and eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival, but unfortunately there is no Wujia wine." ”
Thinking of Wujia wine, Xue Lang let him boil all the zongzi and eggs, take a basket with some zongzi and eggs, and carry them to the hospital.
