Chapter 312: The saint skips class to hunt
I got up in the morning, used it early, and went to work in good spirits-
If you want to get off work a little earlier to visit Princess Pingyang, you have to hurry up and read the information. In the Tang Dynasty, there were no wire-bound books, and all the books were scroll-type, so the materials in the classic room looked quite a lot, but they actually looked quite fast. After watching it for so many days, Xue Lang has basically finished reading it.
I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to read the book for a while, and before I ate, someone came to the palace, who was a close attendant in the sage's palace, Xue Lang had seen it, and remembered that the sage seemed to call him Shen Xin. Shen Xinlai sent a message to the sage and asked Xue Lang to accompany him to the field hunting.
Xue Lang touched his face and asked uncertainly, "Sage Xuanchen accompanied Tian Hunting?" β
Shen Xin smiled and said, "Exactly." Please Xue Shilang to prepare, and the saint will come after the court. β
After announcing the sage's message, Shen Xin left. Xue Lang is still a little confused-
He is a person who is on duty to fight the five scum by force, and the sage Tian Hunt actually announced him as an accompaniment? This is as nonsensical as Taizong's flower-appreciating flowers and shouting Wei Chigong. Could it be...... Xue Lang's heart moved, and he called Wanfu to prepare the car and prepare to go home.
The so-called saint opened his mouth, and his subordinates ran and broke their legs. What else can Xue Lang do, go home and prepare for hunting!
During this period of time, Xue Lang has taken the time to practice archery at home every day, and he has been able to set up a fixed target to be six or seven out of ten, of course, the distance is not more than fifty meters, and the bow with a range of more than fifty meters cannot be pulled away.
Before Xue Lang returned home, Changjian went back to pass the word first, so that the family could prepare his hunting clothes. When they got home, the people loaded the hunting equipment into the wagon, and Xue Lang went back to the house to find buns and themβ
Since coming to Chang'an, the big county mansion has become a paradise for buns. Mantou probably knew that this would be the home of his future life, and when he first came, he took the buns with them and took a good look at the house, and the rats and hibernating snakes were found by them, which scared Xue Lang and praised the dogs.
Since you have to accompany the saint to hunt, the hound always has to be brought. Xue Lang's archery skills are clumsy, and in order to make a good impression on the saint's father-in-law, it is very necessary to bring buns with them. However, do you want to bring the red wolf?
"Mantou, can you control the red wolf?"
"Wang!"
The steamed bun screamed, and the red wolf immediately ran over and lay down, revealing its furry belly. Mantou raised one of his front paws, pressed it lightly on the belly of the red wolf, and then barked at Xue Lang.
Xue Lang suddenly said: "Steamed buns, do you mean to let me touch the belly of the red wolf?" β
Of course, the steamed bun can't speak, but a pair of round dog eyes looked at Xue Lang like that, and the meaning was obvious. Xue Lang swallowed quietly, he couldn't help but be nervous, it was a wild wolf, not a dog. However, in line with the idea of believing that steamed buns would not harm him, Xue Lang forcibly suppressed his weakness and fear, and stretched out his hand steadily-
When dealing with animals, you can't show a weak heart and a scared look. At the slightest hint of fear, even the most docile VIP can toss you to the bottom. It is not only people who are afraid of the weak, but also animals.
Xue Lang's hand touched the belly of the red wolf, and he didn't move for a while, but he touched it so gently, the belly of the red wolf moved, his posture was more stretched, and his obedient posture was more sufficient.
Xue Lang slowly and rhythmically touched the belly of the red wolf, and the red wolf did not show any resistance, but shook his ears under Xue Lang's touch, which seemed to be very comfortable.
Xue Lang also slowly relaxed, but his face was undisguised joy, and he praised the steamed buns vigorously: "Well done, steamed buns!" β
The steamed bun quietly stroked the dog's head to the owner, and the tail slowly swung twice, still full of coldness.
Xue Lang laughed, asked someone to bring a collar, and tentatively put it on the red wolf. The red wolf stood well and did not move, but when the collar touched the neck, it seemed to be a little restless, and after the steamed bun "wooed", he immediately stopped moving, obediently put on the collar, tied the chain, followed behind the steamed bun, and prepared to follow Xue Lang out of the house to hunt.
ordered the guard of honor, the guard, the light car from Jane, to the agreed city gate and other saints-
Xue Lang was afraid of the cold and took the carriage. The horses let Changjian lead behind. After waiting for a while, Lao Yuan saw the saint's guard of honor coming, and Xue Lang saw the most familiar side of the fluttering flag at a glance, and Princess Pingyang also accompanied him! There are also King Qin and King Qi, the prince did not come, the saint is not in the palace, and the prince has to stay.
Xue Lang's men and horses avoided the side of the road, and Xue Lang got out of the carriage, stood respectfully on the side of the road, and let the saint's car pass first. When the saint's car passed in front of Xue Lang, it actually stopped, and the curtain on the side was opened, revealing the saint's face: "Let the Qing family wait for a long time." The carriage of the Qing family is chic! β
Xue Lang said: "Back to the saint, the minister's riding skills are not good, he can't ride a horse, but he rides more." It's just that the carriage is bumpy, and the minister is not used to it, and he often feels dizzy when he sits down. In order to relieve the discomfort, he redesigned a small one, which was much smoother than the two-wheeled carriage, and reduced the suffering of some bumps. β
The saint glanced at Xue Lang's carriage with interest, and said, "In this case, I should try." Qing family, I am in the same car with you. β
Xue Lang smiled: "Thank you for the saint's face, the saint, please get in the car." β
Shen Xin helped the saint get out of the carriage, and then helped the saint to get into Xue Lang's carriage, Xue Lang went up, sat down under the saint, and the group went out of the city in a mighty way.
Xue Lang looked at the sage wrapped in fur and said in a low voice: "Sage, minister, there is hot water here, make you a cup of sweet tea to warm up?" β
"Yes."
The saint bowed his head and looked at Xue Lang curiously. Xue Lang opened the small cabinet on the side and turned out the thermos pot and tea set-
Naturally, it was not the one given by Princess Pingyang, but he ordered someone to buy it again. He poured hot water out of the thermos pot and made a cup of sweet tea for the sage: "Sage, please use tea." β
The saint took it, looked at the thermos pot that Xue Lang put aside with burning eyes, and directly reached out to take it. Xue Lang was taken aback: "Be careful, the saint is full of boiling water, be careful of burns!" β
The saint waved his hand and looked at it with a thermos pot: "This thing is quite exquisite!" Material ......"
He knocked on the shell of the thermos pot and asked, "Iron things?" β
Xue Lang said: "Back to the saint, the name of this thing is called thermos pot, there are two layers inside and outside, and the middle of the two layers is a vacuum, and within two days, the hot water in the pot can be kept warm." Made of steel inside and out, the lid is a material called plastic. β
The saint was amazed: "Can you keep warm?" It's so ingenious! But what is a vacuum? β
Xue Lang scratched his head, and for a while he felt a little difficult to explain, thought about it, and said: "Sage, to understand what vacuum is, you must first understand the concept of qi. Human beings must have air in order to live, and the air cannot be touched, seen, but felt. For example, what is inhaled is air, and with air, people can survive. The so-called vacuum is to remove the air in a space to form a vacuum space to achieve the purpose of heat preservation. β
After speaking, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "Because the minister is not a professional in physics, he is not good at learning art, if there is a clear explanation, please take care of the saint." β
The sage nodded and said, "I have heard Pingyang say that you have come to a foreign country about your studies, and there is something to do today. β
Xue Lang naturally agreed: "Huh." The saint has time to send people to preach the ministers. β
