Chapter 472: Mid-Autumn Festival
After moving, Su Han left, Xue Lang felt lost in his heart, but it was not unbearable, three years, fast and slow, compared with the harvest, the suffering he suffered now is simply not worth mentioning.
Xue Lang is such a pragmatic person. When I miss the princess, I paint, and I feel lonely and paint, reading, painting, and practicing calligraphy occupy all of Xue Lang's leisure time.
Xue Lang's house was built, the winery was naturally good, and the new rice had come down, Xue Lang went to point out the key points of rice selection, and then waited for the winter to make wine.
Pei Yunzhao's masters are all experienced, but they don't have any hygiene awareness when making wine, so it's no wonder that the wine is not excellent. The flora of winemaking is very important, and the degree and taste of the wine in the Tang Dynasty are not up, and a large part of it is related to the lack of hygiene awareness and conditions. Although the master was puzzled, he still came according to his request, and only waited for the season to be able to make wine.
A few days in August is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a day in advance, Jiang Lin actually came over in civilian clothes with only two personal soldiers. Both of them live alone, and they get together for the holidays, which relieves each other's loneliness. Xue Lang asked Hexiang to prepare two gifts for Pei Yunzhao and Yang Changshi, and together with Jiang Lin, one grinded noodles, one person adjusted the filling, and made moon cakes to eat.
Early the morning of the second day when Jiang Lin arrived, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, early in the morning, Pei Yunzhao's personal servant sent two invitations and invited the two to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival held by Pei Yunzhao.
Xue Lang and Jiang Lin looked at each other, relatively speechless, Xue Lang was because he had no literary talent, and he couldn't write poems and writes, and he never participated in any literary meetings; Jiang Lin is the same, although he has read a lot of books, he actually has no talent in poetry.
"With the intention of big brother, do you want to participate?"
Jiang Lin asked Xue Lang's opinion, and Xue Lang was a little embarrassed: "Since I arrived in Yuezhou, I have been taken care of a lot by this Pei Tingshi, and I am a little embarrassed to refute his face." ”
Jiang Lin said: "Since this is the case, then let's go, it's not okay to compose poetry, if you drink...... Will the big brother be afraid? ”
Xue Lang gave him a "what you said makes sense" look, left an invitation, and waited to attend in the evening. As he was talking, Hexiang frowned and brought in a gift list, and said, "Master, the Hangzhou Chai family sent a gift gift." ”
"Hangzhou Chai's? Who's that? I don't know! ”
Hexiang was speechless, and Jiang Lin said: "The princess's previous husband Chai Shao...... It is from the Chai family, after the death of Chai Shao, the Chai family moved from Daxing City to Hangzhou, for many years. ”
Hexiang nodded: "It's the Chai family, since the grandfather made a horse, married the princess, in Chang'an these days, but every festival, the Chai family has gifts, and His Royal Highness also has a return gift." Now that the master has arrived in Yuezhou, the Chai family has sent a festival gift, how to deal with it? Please show me! ”
As a patient with emotional intelligence deficiency, Xue Lang is most annoyed by these relationships, and he is always a little cautious about the Chai family because of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Xue Lang asked, "What are they giving as a gift?" Is it the same as when I was in Chang'an, but there are still increases and decreases? ”
Hexiang said: "It's the same as the ritual in Chang'an." ”
Xue Lang thought for a while and said, "Then deal with it according to the princess's return gift when she was in Chang'an, don't be thin." ”
"Whoa."
Lotus incense goes down to dispose of. Xue Lang couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, the Chai family has no reason or position to give me a gift, just give it to the princess, give it to me...... It's so weird! ”
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said: "The Chai family is not prosperous now, the courtyard is cold, there are no talents, only a descendant of Chai Tong, who is now serving in Zuo Lingwei in Beijing, I heard that he is taking the path of his sister-in-law." I also saw it when I was in Nanya, and his talent was very mediocre, and he was only a little kind. ”
Xue Lang knew that Princess Pingyang had a sense of apology for the Chai family, so he would help the Chai family go through the door, nodded, and didn't say anything.
The two were talking, Village Chief Wu brought Wu Genshui to ask to see, Xue Lang asked Changjian to invite people in, Village Chief Wu was carrying a basket of vegetables in his hand, Wu Genshui was carrying two fish baskets in his hand, Village Chief Wu smiled and said: "Xue Guanren has a good holiday, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are alone here, according to the etiquette, you should be invited to come to the door to celebrate the festival with us, it's just that the grass hall is simple, I don't dare to invite Xue Guanren, Xiao Twelve caught some eels and river shrimp yesterday, there are a few eggs here, and fresh vegetables in the field, the right to send you a gift of gifts, things are simple, Please don't be disgusted. ”
Village Chief Wu's official speech was not very good, with a thick Wu accent, Xue Lang had a hard time listening to it, and it was also hard for him to speak. Xue Lang listened attentively, and after listening, he said: "Thank you village chief and Wu Zhuangshi for your concern, the two of you can come over to congratulate me, it is already a friendship, how can you still accept your things, take it back and add food to the children!" ”
Wu Genshui blushed and said a few words, Xue Lang understood, but he still patiently listened to Village Chief Wu help him translate: "These are all things produced in the field, they are not worth it, the family has already left a copy, this is specially reserved for Xue Guanren, the things are ugly, Xue Guanren dislikes them?" ”
Everyone said so, Xue Lang naturally didn't want to refuse anymore, so he had to let Changjian accept it, and then asked Ah Tu to pick up the baked moon cakes and give them to the two of them. The two of them excused themselves for a long time, and when they saw that Xue Lang insisted on giving, they couldn't excuse themselves before they took the moon cakes and left.
Jiang Lin smiled: "It seems that the eldest brother is more familiar with them." ”
Xue Lang smiled bitterly: "This is thanks to Heng Yu, when he was there, he often treated the villagers of Sishui Village, and these people felt his kindness and took care of me a lot." However, thanks to them, we have enough food for today! ”
Jiang Lin nodded and said, "It's hard for Hengyu to be thoughtful, the eldest brother has a trilogy to guard, and he wants to be safe, but if he can get along with the villagers of Sishui Village, it is obviously better." I just don't know if Hengyu did it intentionally or unintentionally? ”
This last sentence is definitely despising Su Han's emotional intelligence!
Xue Lang pointed at Jiang Lin and laughed, Jiang Lin pretended to be puzzled at first, endured it for a while, and laughed along. Jiang Lin is more talkative than Su Han, and with him, the two brothers can talk about more topics. It's actually quite interesting to be with Su Han, because he is very funny, and there are more interesting things that happen unintentionally than when he is intentional. In short, someone is with him for the holiday, not alone, Xue Lang is very satisfied.
Thinking that the princess is in Beijing, fortunately she can still spend it with the saint tonight, otherwise, the princess is even more pitiful, and she doesn't even have someone to accompany her. Thinking of this, Xue Lang couldn't help but sigh.
In the afternoon, the two brothers each ate some food to pad their stomachs, changed their clothes and set off to the government to participate in the cultural meeting held by Pei Yunzhao-
Although he agreed, Xue Lang still wanted to complain! This Pei Yunzhao didn't know what to think, so he actually invited him to participate in the literary meeting, Xue Lang was very suspicious, where did he look like a genius! Say it, can't he change it?
