Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

This kind of emotion and feeling, Xue Lang does not have. When I first wore it, I often thought of Xue Qing and felt sad that I couldn't go back. Now that more than half a year has passed, the sorrow of being separated from my relatives has been buried deep in my heart, and I don't want to show it anymore. Most men are like this, they don't want their sadness and sadness to be exposed in front of others, they will only bury it deeply.

What's more, grief is the most useless thing. Even if he is so sad in Datang that his liver and intestines are broken...... However, he will never go back to modern times. For him and Xue Qing, it is the greatest comfort that they are well and live well. Even if relatives and friends can't be contacted, as long as they think that each other is still alive, it is the greatest comfort.

So, Xue Qing, I'm fine, what about you? Happy Chung Yeung Festival, Xue Qing! Also, congratulations on my birthday!

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, Xue Lang only took the buns, in the courtyard of the backyard, facing the moon, toasted a glass of wine, silently recited a sentence, and then went to sleep suddenly.

On the last day in Chang'an, I was busy taking care of my bags. At this time, the benefits of having a capable woman are revealed, compared to the messy luggage, Su Siniang's luggage for the Jiang Lin brothers is very orderly, and there are clear instructions on what to put and where.

For the matter of taking a boat again, Mantou looked very melancholy. Its melancholy way, more tangled, that is, it looked at its master, and did not call, just watched so quietly, its eyes were very pitiful, and Xue Lang was quite worried, walked over, hugged its head, and asked it: "Why don't I send someone to take you back by land?" ”

"Wang!"

Shake one’s head!

"Do you want to go back on a boat with me?"

"Wow!"

This is resolute, steamed bread is to have the courage to challenge yourself? Xue Lang had to write a big word.

After cleaning up for a day, the next day before dawn, as soon as the city gate opened, Xue Lang took people to set off on the road, compared with the noisy gongs and drums when he came, and the lively and high-profile entry into the city, when he left, he was extremely low-key, and only Su Siniang and her brother Su Dalang were sent off.

Xue Lang persuaded: "The morning dew is heavy, in-law and brother and sister go back quickly." ”

Jiang Lin also said: "Go back quickly, take care of your body, at most next year, we will come to Chang'an." Uncle, the lady will bother you to take care of it more. ”

"Don't worry!"

said goodbye again and again, boarded the departing carriage, and did not return to the city until the shadow of the carriage could not be seen. And Xue Lang and his entourage's long journey back has just begun.

++++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the rush ++++++++++++++++++++++

Reed Zeguan –

"Lady, the letter from Jingzhong has arrived."

Princess Pingyang had just returned to the backyard from the martial arts arena, and before she got off her dress, Ako handed over a letter. Princess Pingyang took it and opened it, glanced at it quickly, couldn't help but be stunned, and was distracted for a while, with an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, it seemed to be a little self-deprecating, and it seemed to be a little happy, extremely complicated, and her deep voice was almost muttering: "Xue Youyang, Xue Youyang!" Why is this so......"

The voice gradually became inaudible, as if he was asking a question, as if he was exclamating infinitely. Acco silently rolled up his swarthy round eyes to look at his master, and then bowed his head-

A qualified secret guard only needs to faithfully carry out the master's orders, and never need to ask the master why, when the master wants you to know, he will naturally tell you.

Princess Pingyang gestured to Akko, and Ako flashed in a low-key manner, and the room returned to quiet, as if there was never more than one person. When Ako disappeared, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, her eyes had returned to their former calmness, as if the extremely complicated sigh just now was a dream, and it had never appeared.

Changed into a dark dress and went out, sat in the main hall, Chu Xue had already put a snow-white tea cup on the table for her, and when she opened the lid, the fragrance of chrysanthemums came to her nose.

Princess Pingyang sniffed it and asked, "What kind of tea is this?" ”

Chu Xue replied: "This is the chrysanthemum ginseng tea that the slave maid asked Xue for advice, brewed with ginseng flowers, white chrysanthemums, and wolfberries, which is suitable for drinking in autumn." The lady trains hard, and it is appropriate to drink this tea. ”

"It's actually a recipe given by Youyang...... Then you should try it. ”

As he spoke, he took a sip, nodded, and said, "Not bad." ”

After speaking, he drank tea one after another without saying a word. At this time, the sun has turned west, and the sunlight spills into the house from between the panes, just shining behind Princess Pingyang, and there seems to be an extra layer of pale yellow halo behind her, under the reflection of this halo, Princess Pingyang seems to be beautiful and dignified, and with a quiet and distant atmosphere, extremely beautiful, but also extremely mysterious.

When Lady Liu came in, she saw such a scene. Her Royal Highness the princess sat upright in the halo, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to be alarmed, and she was stunned.

It was still Princess Pingyang who felt her gaze, her body stiffened, and she raised her head vigilantly, and when she found out that it was Lady Liu, she dispersed her defensive posture and indifferently hooked the corners of her mouth: "Ah Liu, come in." ”

No more leisurely state just now. Obviously, nothing remains the same, but I feel that Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be a little more majestic, and a little more distant, and the quiet and beautiful princess just now seems to have never appeared.

Lady Liu subconsciously shook her head, sobered herself up a little, and said, "Your Highness's reward edict came early, and Advisor Xue's reward edict was only received today. If there is no military merit, he will not be crowned a marquis, and it is appropriate to make him a county prince. From being penniless to being a county magistrate, Xue Counselor's promotion speed is really rare in ancient and modern times. ”

Princess Pingyang shook her head and said, "Definitely." In my opinion, the merit of the young sun and the reward are not enough to match. With Youyang's talent and knowledge, when sweet potatoes and potatoes are popularized in the coming year, when the two are harvested, it is the time when Youyang is promoted to the national office. ”

Lady Liu asked in surprise, "Your Highness is so optimistic about Xue Lang?" ”

Princess Pingyang bowed: "Does Ah Liu think that Youyang's talent is not compatible with the reward?" ”

Female official Liu thought for a while and said, "It's not that it's unmatched, but Ah Liu didn't expect Xue Youyang to be promoted to the position of the national prince." ”

"Why do you have this idea?"

Princess Pingyang asked rhetorically. Liu Nuguan said: "With Xue Lang's talent, and the talent of the world's governance, what is lacking is only the understanding of my Tang people's customs and people's feelings. However, being an official does not only rely on talent, but also the way of being a person. Xue Lang is a benevolent gentleman, but he is too wooden, and if you think about it, with the sensitivity of His Royal Highness, you can also see that Xue Lang is not good at managing interpersonal relationships. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Han Changshi, I wouldn't have known that Xue Lang had never taken the initiative to visit Han Changshi since he entered the mansion, and he was only familiar with his neighbors when he interacted with the officials in the mansion, and he had never socialized with others. Just bury your head in your work, and don't care about anything else. How can such a way of being a person gain a foothold in the DPRK? ”

That's why. Princess Pingyang smiled but did not comment.

Lady Liu couldn't get a response from Her Royal Highness the Princess, so she couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness said, is Xue Lang too clumsy like this?" A man walks outside, even if he is not exquisite, he should be good at dancing with long sleeves, and now Xue Lang is already a county prince, and if he wants to use his talents, the saint will definitely be entrusted with important tasks. If you are too clumsy in terms of human feelings, how will you behave in the DPRK and China for a long time? I'm afraid that it won't last long, and it will inevitably be demoted out of Beijing. ”

Princess Pingyang still didn't comment, but said lightly: "Youyang will come back!" ”

Lady Liu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did Your Highness say?" ”

Princess Pingyang patiently repeated: "Youyang will come back!" ”

"Come back...... Come back to Weize Pass and continue to serve as an advisor to His Highness? ”

Lady Liu's face was full of disbelief. Her Royal Highness the princess bowed her head to confirm, and her tone seemed to be normal: "I received a letter from Jingzhong, saying that the saint promised him the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but was rejected by Youyang, and Youyang still came back to Weize Pass to be a counselor in my house. ”

“……”

Lady Liu was speechless for a long time in surprise, and only after a long time did she come up with a sentence: "Xue Lang, this fool!" Idiot! Idiot! Say the important thing three times! ”

The corners of Princess Pingyang's mouth curved slightly, took a sip of tea, and answered indifferently: "Aren't you just a fool?" ”

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Her Royal Highness the princess said: "With the urgency of Youyang, if you want to come to Beijing, you must hurry up, it will not be more than half a month, and people will go to Puzhou to wait, find out the return date, and wait for the day of Youyang's return, I will go to greet you in person, celebrate and wash the dust for Youyang." ”

"Whoa."

Lady Liu's reply was really a thousand times, and she couldn't help but sarcastically say again: "I thought I could save a congratulatory gift, but there are always fools who are unexpected, and they don't pity the poor slave family at all, but now it seems that the congratulatory gift can't be saved." ”

said it was sarcasm, but the tone was full of joy.

Thinking of Xue Lang's comment on Lady Liu's arrogance, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but laugh.
